Struggle in Russia

【Struggle in Tsarist Russia】 【】

Pobedosnosev looked at Alexander II. It was obvious that he had once again disappointed the tsar. This made him very panicked. He was worried that if similar things happened a few more times, he might soon get out of the third part.

The situation will even get worse. It is very likely that he will completely lose the trust of Alexander II. After all, the Tsar's patience has its limits, but one can only do two, and some even don't give him two chances. You say Why isn't he nervous?

Pobedosnosev would have liked to give Alexander II good news if he could, but unfortunately he could not. Since he took over the third part, there have been various misfortunes. In addition, Nikolai Milyutin and other reformists have been guarding against him using the third part to make a name for himself. They have strictly guarded the third part and not given him any chance to take advantage of the loopholes.

So he was at a loss as to why Count Uvarov went to see Nikolai Milyutin and what they talked about.

He could only bite the bullet and reply: "Sorry, Your Majesty, after Nikolai Milyutin took charge of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, their confidentiality work was very strict, and even the best spies could not penetrate it..."

As expected, Alexander II was disappointed again and was extremely impatient with Pobedosnosev's work. He criticized in a deep voice: "I asked you to take charge of the third part because I asked you to act as my eyes and ears. And look at what you have done in the past few months? I can't see or hear anything... This is still the Ministry of Internal Affairs, or our own department... You can't even handle them, how can you be expected to do it? What about breaking into the enemy to obtain intelligence?"

Pobedosnosev quickly apologized repeatedly. Although he knew it was of no use, what could he do besides apologizing? Now this painful situation is not just his problem - if it weren't for the old cunning Duke Ordorff who made a name for himself during the handover, if it weren't for the group of villains with ulterior motives in the third part, such as Dolgoruky The Duke acted in both positive and negative ways. If Alexander II hadn't refused to give him the power of life and death, he would have been unable to let go. ... ?

If it weren't for guys like Nikolai Milyutin who kept causing trouble for him...if there weren't these interference factors, he believed that he would definitely be able to deliver a beautiful answer.

Unfortunately, these interference items exist. To take a step back, if there are no such distractions and another dog can manage the third part, why would Alexander II send him there?

To put it bluntly, there is indeed a problem with Pobedosnosev’s ability, and he is not suitable for the third part.

It's a pity that both him and Alexander II can only make do with this for the time being. He has to continue to work on thin ice despite all kinds of interference and pressure, and Alexander II can only be disappointed and helpless again and again. .

For example, this time, the only good news is that Count Uvarov deliberately went to find Nikolai Milyutin. He carried out the operation with great fanfare, so there was no news about the third part.

Moreover, the old fox would also deliberately release some rumors to put pressure on Alexander II, so at ten o'clock in the afternoon, Alexander II, who was anxiously running around, finally received some gossip.

"Count Uvarov intends to reconcile with Nikolai Milyutin?"

"As long as Nikolai Milyutin guarantees that the reform of the serfdom system will not unduly affect his interests?"

"You also said that you hope to formulate a constitution that can improve all aspects of Russia's rules and regulations?"

This news did not make Alexander II relax, but made him more and more irritable. What he is most worried about is the reconciliation between the conservatives and the reformists. Even if only a small group of conservatives led by Count Uvarov reconciles with the reformists, it will be a volcanic and earthquake-like blow to him.

Especially when it came to issues like the Constitution, this made his heart hang in the air. The Constitution undoubtedly places the greatest restrictions on the Tsar. Once the two groups reach an agreement on this issue, not only will he completely stop working, it will also mean that the power in his hands will be greatly reduced!

"What's going on with the constitution?" Alexander II asked sharply.

Pobedos... ?

Noszev naturally knew what the constitution meant. He answered cautiously: "This news cannot be confirmed yet. I just heard that Count Uvarov made suggestions in this regard. As for whether he contacted Nikolai Milyutin We have reached an agreement, but we are still not sure..."

Still unsure whether Alexander II could feel relieved, he walked back and forth in the royal study, his face darker than the bottom of a pot. After a while, he pretended to be calm and said: "Constitutional issues should be dealt with by Count Uvarov. He is so cunning about the fake news he released, and he is best at using such fake news to disrupt the public. I guess he just wants to make me anxious!"

However, these words of self-comfort did not really make him feel at ease. Obviously, he was worried about the constitutional issue. If he didn't still have some sense, he would have wanted to send guards immediately to arrest Count Uvarov and take him to the Winter Palace for questioning. An understanding.

Pobedosnosev observed Alexander II's face and cautiously suggested: "Having said that, Your Majesty, we have to be on guard! And Count Uvarov has always been selfish and mercenary... If he jumps over the wall in a hurry, then..."

Alexander II stretched out his hand to stop Pobedosnosev from continuing, because why wasn't he worried about this? However, his current position is not stable enough and he cannot move Count Uvarov in a hurry.

A cold light flashed in Pobedosnosev's eyes. Although he was not very good at controlling the third part, based on his observation and understanding of Alexander II, almost no one in the Winter Palace was better than him. .

He clearly heard the murderous intention in Alexander II's words just now. It was obvious that His Majesty did not want to kill Count Uvarov, but that he did not have the strength and courage for the time being.

This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for him. As the saying goes, enemies are only those who work in the same industry. Count Uvarov, an old conservative, has been blocking these young people for too long. If he can be defeated, it will mean that the conservative forces He and Baryatinsky will be honored.

At that time, he will be one of the top figures among conservatives. Obviously, his position will be more stable and his power will be... ?

will be larger.

So, why not encourage Alexander II to go out of his way and kill Count Uvarov, an old man?

Thinking of this, he took a deep breath and said to Alexander II: "Your Majesty, judging from Count Uvarov's performance today, he is simply unreliable. It is simply unrealistic to expect him to contain and restrict those free elements, especially considering that he The destructive power, if you continue to let it go, you will have many nightmares..."_\u0026 ?
