Struggle in Russia

Duke Dolgoruky immediately stopped all his actions when he realized something was wrong. He was not stupid enough to know who he could provoke and who he could not provoke. The current Gorchakov family in Russia was definitely the one who should not be provoked.

So, of course, he would not be too stubborn to attack, but decided to observe for a while to see what the relationship between Li Xiao and Duke Mikhail was, and then see whether to execute Pobedono Steff's order.

It should be said that this is a wiser approach. After all, neither the conservatives nor Baryatinsky are strong enough to make random moves.

However, the problem with Prince Dolgoruky was that he made the right decision, but did not inform Pobedonostsev. Because he felt that he had Baryatinsky as his backer, Pobedonostsev had to give him some face no matter what. And he also believed that there was no problem with his decision-making. Naturally, Pobedonostsev should understand.

I have to say that this was a huge mistake. For Pobedonostsev, Baryatinsky would naturally have to give him face, but who do you think you are, Duke Dolgoruky? What's more, you haven't completed the task assigned by the leader, and it is only natural that you should be taught a lesson. Otherwise, you will be so self-righteous in the future that you can do whatever you want without even reporting. Then where is the authority of the leader?

It can only be said that Duke Dolgoruky is too clever. He thinks he has seen everything clearly, but in fact he is mistaken for his cleverness. Sure enough, just when he was thinking about how to tell Pobedonostsev that he still needed more time to complete the task, the latter spoke coldly:

"It seems like you didn't complete the task I asked you to do, right?"

Duke Dolgoruky had not yet realized the seriousness of the problem and still thought that Pobedonostsev could not do anything to him. Who would have thought that Pobedonostsev immediately lectured him: "Even such a simple thing You've been procrastinating on all the little things for so long, which shows that you and Ben didn't take the tasks I gave you seriously!"

"I hate people who say one thing and then do another. Your Excellency, you really disappoint me!"

Prince Dolgoruky's heart skipped a beat, and he realized that something was wrong, but he still thought that for Baryatinsky's sake Pobedonostsev could not do anything to him.

Who would have thought that Pobedonostsev actually said: "Since you have such a work attitude, there is no point in you continuing to stay in the third part. From now on, you will be suspended. Go back and reflect on it. When will you reflect on it?" When will you come back to work!"

After saying that, Pobedonostsev waved his sleeves and left without giving Duke Dolgoruky a chance to defend himself. He left him alone on the spot, which was called a loss of face.

Duke Dolgoruky's face turned red and blue, and he could vaguely see white smoke rising from his head, which showed how embarrassed and angry he was.

But what's the point of being embarrassed and angry at this moment? Who allowed him to be caught in the wrong by Pobedonostsev? Who made him have a backer and not take Pobedonotsev seriously?

If you don't take people seriously, they won't treat you like a green onion. He deserves to be slapped in the face!

What's more serious is that this is not just a matter of face, but also related to Baryatinsky's grand plan. Everyone knows the importance of the third part, and Alexander II handed the third part to Pobedonostsev. Although he and Baryatinsky were close allies, there are some things that even brothers cannot do. After all, Baryatinsky cannot count on Pobedonostsev for everything. To be on the safe side, he had better have some manpower in the third part to prepare for any eventuality.

And Duke Dolgoruky is the person who prepares for unexpected events. According to Baryatinsky's idea, as long as Duke Dolgoruky establishes a firm foothold in the third part, he will be with Pobedonostsev in the future. Even if you fall out, it won't be a big problem.

But now Duke Dolgoruky has been suspended from his post for self-reflection. It can be said that he was sent home without even getting his butt warm. To put it bluntly, if Pobedonostsev was unhappy and refused to give him any face, insisting that Duke Dolgoruky’s attitude was wrong and not letting him go back, then Baryatinsky could only stare. of.

Of course, this possibility is very slim, unless the two of them really break up, it is unlikely to happen.

But even in the best case scenario, Duke Dolgoruky has been messed up for so long, and his prestige will be completely lost in the third part. Anyone who is not stupid can see that Pobedonostsev does not like him. In the future He also wanted to gain a foothold in the third film and the difficulty was not as great as usual.

What's even more terrible is that this news is not enough. Sooner or later, everyone will know. For Duke Dolgoruky, even if he doesn't care about the opinions of ordinary people, he still has to care about Baryatinsky's opinions.

My eldest brother sent you to expand his influence, but you were kicked out just after you started working. Didn’t you make your eldest brother’s thoughts go crazy?

To put it bluntly, your ability is limited and not enough to entrust you with such a big responsibility!

And how can a person who is not qualified to be entrusted with a big responsibility be worthy of reuse?

I believe that as long as Baryatinsky is in his right mind, he will feel that Duke Dolgoruky fails more than he succeeds!

So what future does Duke Dolgoruki have?

Anyway, Duke Dolgoruki was so frightened that he broke into a cold sweat when he returned home. He finally realized the seriousness of the problem, but what made him desperate was that he had no way to save it.

After all, Pobedonostsev's words have been released and he has been asked to reflect. But how can he realize his mistake after reflecting? Needless to say, this standard also depends on Pobedonostsev's mood. As long as the person feels that his reflection is not adequate, it will be useless no matter how good he is.

"Damn! Damn! Damn!"..

Duke Dolgoruki slapped himself hard several times, and he finally realized what a huge mistake he had made. I also realized that I have really drifted off recently. How could he afford to ignore Pobedonostsev?

No matter how people say it, he is Alexander II's confidant and a future powerful minister, and what he is, to put it mildly, he cannot be regarded as a dog of the Baryatinsky family. As long as Baryatinsky was clear in his mind and chose between a dog and a political ally, it wouldn't be a problem at all.

Anyway, Duke Dolgoruky felt that if he were Baryatinsky, he would definitely choose Pobedonostsev.

"No, we can't sit still and wait for death!" Duke Dolgoruky muttered to himself nervously, "We have to find a way immediately, otherwise it will be all over!"
