Struggle in Russia

Alexander II didn't take Duke Vladimir seriously. In his opinion, even if this person has some skills, he can't really hide his head and tail for a lifetime. Finding him at the level of the third part is nothing but time issue.

Of course, if Duke Vladimir could hide from Alexander II for a lifetime, he wouldn't be angry. If you want to hide, you can hide. Like a gopher, you will never see the sky and worry all the time. This is also a punishment, isn't it?

Alexander II felt that no matter how he counted, he would not be at a disadvantage. Besides, isn't Countess Maria Murapova still there? You can vent your anger on this woman. Speaking of which, this woman's snow-white skin and plump **** really make people linger!

Unknowingly, Alexander II fell asleep and had a beautiful dream. When he woke up, the train had already arrived in St. Petersburg.

The tsar came back, and all the heads and brains of St. Petersburg were naturally greeted by the station. The last time I saw such a minister was at the coronation ceremony, and that time Alexander II was really upset.

This time, he felt that the eyes of these people looked at him with a little more awe. Does this mean that he, the tsar, has become more and more prestigious?

Immediately, Alexander II became happier, and happily returned to the Winter Palace to summon his confidants and began to inquire about the situation in St. Petersburg after leaving.

Nothing major happened, that is, some serfs in Ukraine rebelled, and the Minister of War has dispatched troops to counter the rebellion, so there should be no trouble. As for the eyes of Britain and France abroad, it seems that they have shifted to the east again, busy grabbing territory, and they don't care about Russia for the time being.

In short, the world is peaceful, the country is peaceful and the people are safe!

Alexander II was very satisfied with this, and praised a few words for the first time, but in the end he finally remembered the matter between Countess Maria Murapova and Duke Vladimir, so he left Pobie Donostsev and Duke Dolgoruky.

"Did Duke Vladimir find it?" He asked directly.

Prince Dolgoruky glanced at Pobedonostsev calmly, said nothing, just stood there waiting to see the joke.

As for Pobedonostsev, he was a little overwhelmed. He looked at Alexander II and sighed in his heart: Why is his luck so bad? Obviously that Duke Vladimir looked like a lame chicken, the kind that could be crushed to death in a few minutes, but he searched for more than 20 days but couldn't find a clue, it was a scam.

In particular, he managed to improve the impression of Alexander II by relying on the great method of taking the blame. If he is not paying attention, it will be in vain. If he had known that there was such a big pit here, he would have been killed... Forget it, if he had known It's useless, who made him the unlucky director of the third film?

I used to only know how important and prominent this position is, but it was only when I actually sat in that position that I realized that this position is simply not humanly capable.

Immediately, Pobedonostsev was a little disheartened, thinking that he might really not be this material, if he continued to stay in this position, he might have to squander all the holy family accumulated over the past ten years!

He gritted his teeth and felt that short-term pain is worse than long-term pain, so he immediately bowed and replied: "Your Majesty, Duke Vladimir has not been found yet. This is a mistake in my work. Since I have made such mistakes more than once, it means that I It is difficult to do the job, so I formally request your consent to let me resign!"

Alexander II was stunned. He said earlier that he was actually in a good mood. Asking about Duke Vladimir was not how concerned he was. It's just that Pobedonostsev resigned suddenly, which really caught him off guard!

He looked at Pobedonostsev and then at Prince Dolgoruky. It was so sudden that Pobedonostsev didn't look like he wanted to resign without any warning. Shouldn't it be retreating to advance? Or is the conflict with Duke Dolgoruki irreconcilable, is this an excuse to resign and expel people?

It’s really not that Alexander II was thinking too much. Who made his ministers have a lot of ghosts on weekdays? You see that’s the case, but in fact, they are making that kind of calculation. It’s really not too long. Being played around!

Alexander II smiled and asked, "Count, have you encountered any difficulties? You are not the kind of person who picks up the picks casually. Did the case encounter problems?"

Pobedonostsev bowed his head and said: "Your Majesty, I have not encountered any difficulties. The main reason is that this case is really clueless. Duke Vladimir has always been in a hurry, and there is no trace of him at all... This fully shows that I am unqualified as a director. I can't even do such a small thing. It also fully shows that I am not suitable to continue to lead the third department... So I ask you to agree to let me resign. It may be better to change to a more capable leader! "..

Alexander II frowned slightly, Pobedonostsev's lack of interest made him both disappointed and strange~www.readwn.com~ The Pobedonostsev he knew was not like this, no Said that the fighting spirit is always slow, at least not someone who cannot withstand setbacks.

But now he actually says that he is not capable enough, what's wrong with the third part, is it so difficult to manage?

Or is there someone inside who is doing bad things on purpose and doesn't want him to manage this department well?

This possibility immediately aroused Alexander II's high vigilance. For him, regardless of the possibility, Pobedonostsev's request to resign at this time is a dangerous signal.

If someone deliberately caused trouble, then this person is particularly worthy of vigilance. After all, the third part is the tsar's lackey, and is mainly responsible for matters closely related to the tsar. If some people don't know the seriousness of such things and mess around for their own self-interest, then what else are such people afraid to do?

Anyway, no matter how good such a person is, Alexander II dare not use him. The first thing he wants is loyalty and understanding. If he can't even do this, then he is not a qualified courtier. How far!

Of course, Alexander II would not listen to Pobedonostsev's one-sided words, and it is necessary to find out what the matter is like. It cannot be ruled out that this guy is using this excuse to attack dissidents.

Alexander II looked at Pobedonostsev and then at Duke Dolgoruky, subconsciously thinking that the two men might have completely torn their faces apart. We must find out who these two people are doing! And before that, the third part must not be handed over to any of them!

Thinking of this, Alexander II had a decision in his heart, and he smiled and comforted him: "Your count, you are too arrogant, I know that the third part has heavy responsibilities and pressure, and the burden is heavy and exhausting. How about you take a rest for a while to recuperate?" one time…"
