Struggle in Russia

Li Xiao felt a little hopeless. Who heard that some time travelers were forced to marry? Such a shameless thing happened to him. What do you mean?

He couldn't refuse yet. Just look at old Igor's old face with a smile that was brighter than flowers, and you would know how satisfied he was with Miss Victoria who came to his door. Whenever Li Xiao dares to say no, this amiable father will turn into a humanoid tyrannosaurus and let Li Xiao know what a father's love is like!

Yes, in a sense, old Igor did regard Li Xiao as his own child, and Li Xiao also regarded him as his father. The relationship between them is so special.

Li Xiao rubbed his temples, knowing that his life at home would probably be very sad in the next few days. His father, who was anxious to have his grandson, would probably personally supervise his dance learning career. If he dared to be passive and slow down, he would be ruthless. Ground criticism!

Sighing, Li Xiao got on the carriage with a depressed look on his face. He felt that the future was dim.

Count Uvarov also felt that the future was dim, and the gossip that Li Xiao and others had disappeared quickly reached his ears as expected.

This news immediately attracted his great attention, because the people involved were so critical. Duke Dolgoruky, old Adlerbeg and Pobedonostsev, these three are all considered the mainstays of the conservatives, especially old Adlerbeg is still his, as long as it is not political Any idiot knows what this means!

Count Uvarov was naturally not an idiot, so he was devastated by the news. Although he knew that old Adlerberg was a bit cunning, he really didn't expect that he could be so cunning. He only dared to lose his power a little bit. How can I tolerate openly hooking up with others behind his back?

Count Uvarov first felt angry, feeling that he had really raised a large group of white-eyed wolves. The same was true for Adlerberg, who was so old as Chernyshev. The people who followed him and drank spicy food were just submissive, but now... …snort!

However, Count Uvarov is an old official in the officialdom after all. Even if he gets angry again, he will not completely lose his mind. He soon calmed down.

For him, anger is meaningless. The time he has to be angry is better to think more about how to deal with this trouble.

Yes, Count Uvarov has never doubted the authenticity of this news from beginning to end, and this also shows that he is mentally prepared for the outcome that he is about to be beaten by thousands of people or pushed down by the wall. of.

After thinking for a while, he couldn't help but feel a little troubled, because he really didn't have a particularly good way to solve this problem at the moment. He could neither teach old Adlerberg a lesson nor interfere with his "treason and surrender to the enemy" behavior.

But just watching and doing nothing is not his style, and it is very likely to further worsen his already precarious situation, causing more people who are watching on both sides to defect!

He sighed inwardly, rubbed his swollen temples, and told himself that he must calm down and meet this challenge at the highest level, otherwise it would trigger a chain reaction. He had worked hard to build the world for thirty years. The pyramid of authority will collapse in one fell swoop!

"Prepare the car, I have to go to the Ministry of Internal Affairs!"

After some thought, Count Uvarov went out and rushed to the Ministry of Internal Affairs at lightning speed, requesting to meet Nikolai Milyutin directly.

His move spread throughout St. Petersburg faster than the information spread by Li Xiao and others. Duke Dolgoruky, Pobedonostsev and old Adlerberg all learned about it immediately. As for Alexander II, he knew about this situation earlier. Count Uvarov knew where the old man was going before he left the house.

"What's happening here?"

This is probably the first thought in the minds of the above people, because Count Uvarov's move is so unexpected. As the leader of the conservatives, the person he dislikes the most is Nikolay Milyutin. In the early years, He didn't even bother to pay attention to the other party during the cabinet meeting, so why did he take the initiative to visit him today for the first time?

What is this going to do?

Everyone knows that Count Uvarov is in a bad situation now. Everyone also thinks that the old man has reached the end of his life. Everyone also thinks that it is useless even if he struggles desperately.

Based on these understandings, Count Uvarov has been sentenced to death in their hearts, and it is only a matter of time before the old man calls his curtain.

But suddenly the old man became so old that Alexander II and others were caught off guard!

Yes, they all believe that Count Uvarov is a thing of the past. In order to maintain Russian traditions and protect their political interests, it is time for the old man to pack up and leave.

This is also the key reason why Alexander II has not been very fond of the old man since he succeeded to the throne, and constantly tries to squeeze the old man's living space.

Alexander II hoped that the conservative forces would complete the transition from old to new as soon as possible and get out of the trough as soon as possible, so as to help him resist the increasingly aggressive progressive reform forces.

The reason why he dared to do this was actually because he was sure that Count Uvarov would not be able to compromise with the reformists or make concessions to the reformists, so he acted so harshly and mercilessly.

But Count Uvarov suddenly went to see Nikolai Milyutin, and Alexander II and others had to think carefully about this proactive gesture.

What if...what if the old man compromises with the reform forces in order to preserve his position?

This possibility did not exist before, but who can guarantee that the rabbit will not bite when it is anxious?

Alexander II immediately summoned Pobedonostsev: "Did the third part figure out Count Uvarov's purpose?"

Pobedonostsev replied with a grimace: "Sorry, Your Majesty, the incident happened suddenly and there is no news yet..."

Alexander II frowned. To be honest, Pobedonostsev's answer made him very dissatisfied. In the past, when Duke Ordorf was around, the reaction to the third film was not so flattering, let alone St. Petersburg. Everything is known, at least the key information is definitely not unknown.

For no reason, Alexander II felt a little irritated and felt that it was a mistake to let Pobedonostsev take charge of the third part. He should find a more suitable candidate...

However, this thought passed by in a flash, because he immediately realized that there was no more suitable candidate around him. Pobedonostsev was already the tallest among the dwarfs, and it would have been even worse if it had been someone else. .

He sighed and asked sadly: "When can I get the specific information? What I mean is to find out what they talked about..."
