Struggle in Russia

【Struggle in Tsarist Russia】 【】

While Li Xiao was discussing countermeasures with his friends, Count Uvarov was sitting contentedly in his study, listening to the butler's report on the latest reactions from various circles in St. Petersburg.

Initially, he was quite satisfied with the results of his "magic stroke". Now there are rumors all over the city that he compromised, and the reform may be about to begin.

As long as Alexander II was not blind or deaf, he would definitely be able to hear it. It was impossible not to be anxious at that time given his character. And as long as he is anxious, his status as Count Uvarov will be temporarily stable.

Of course, he was not just happy. He was also silently thinking about how to deal with the consequences in the future. He was not the kind of person who would just give up when something was good. As long as he was given the opportunity to catch a toad, he would catch it. Come gold!

However, before he could figure out the follow-up strategy, he received a piece of bad news that was not particularly ideal - Nikolai Milyutin was summoned to the Winter Palace by Alexander II.

He immediately realized that this situation was unusual. Just after Nikolai Milyutin finished chatting with him in the morning, he was called over by Alexander II. Without thinking, he must have asked about the status of their meeting.

This was a bit surprising to Count Uvarov, because he thought that with Alexander II's personality, it was more likely that he was confused and didn't know what to do, or that he was panicked and simply went to him to try to comfort him.

But Alexander II did not take either path, and instead let Nikolay Milyutin enter the palace. There were too many uncertainties.

Count Uvarov could not guarantee that Nikolai Milyutin would respond to Alexander II's questions as he expected.

Once the peep show is exposed and Alexander II knows that he is just a feint, then his trump card will be seen through, and then he will only be beaten!

Suddenly Count Uvarov couldn't sit still. When he had an idea, he immediately rushed into the Winter Palace to try to disrupt the situation, but this was obviously impossible. After thinking for a while, he sat back on his chair, tilting his head and thinking happily. .. ... ?

Considered countermeasures.

It's just that there are too few cards in his hand, and after thinking for a long time, he can't find a good solution, which makes him a little restless and confused.

Just when he was irritated, the door of the study room was pushed open, and Feodora walked in with concern and asked: "Dad, what's wrong with you? I've called you several times to finish dinner, but why don't you come?" ?The dishes are cold and not delicious!"

Only then did Count Uvarov glance out the window in surprise. He didn't know when it had gotten dark. It turned out that he had been sitting stupidly in the study all afternoon?

He himself felt a little unbelievable. He obviously only sat for a while, how could it take so long?

"Dad? Why don't you speak? Are you having trouble again?" Feodora asked with great concern.

"Oh, oh, no." Count Uvarov shook his head, forced a smile and replied: "Dad was just in a daze for a while and forgot the time."

Feodora obviously didn't believe this argument. She pouted and said: "You lied as soon as I saw it. You ran out happily in the morning, and you have been staying in the study since you came back. It seems that you are in a good mood. , your mood completely changed in the afternoon, you must have encountered something troublesome, otherwise you wouldn’t be like this!”

Count Uvarov smiled bitterly, his precious daughter is really

She knows him so well, and she is worthy of being his caring little cotton-padded jacket... Speaking of which, where are his two precious sons? Why didn't Nikolai and Vladimir come to care for his distressed old father?

"Where are your brothers?" he asked.

Feodora pouted and said: "You want to change the subject again. It seems that the brothers have gone to a party. They seem to be hunting with Grand Duke Constantine..."

Count Uvarov's face suddenly became a little wonderful. He really didn't like Grand Duke Constantine, and he didn't even want to look at the prince. But his two stupid sons who didn't live up to expectations ended up hanging out with others. What's this called?

Surrender to the enemy?

in the case of... ... ?

In the past, he would furiously catch those two idiots and beat them up to let them know the heavy price to pay for disobeying their old father's will.

But today, on the one hand, he was not in that mood, and on the other hand, he felt that those two silly boys were making mistakes.

Just imagine that he just had a meeting with Nikolai Milyutin, and then his sons went to have a heated fight with Grand Duke Constantine. What does this mean? It shows that he really has the idea of ​​​​cooperating or reconciling with the reformists.

It was like those two silly boys helped him increase the credibility of his actions in the morning. Of course, those two guys probably didn't think about this level. They only knew that they were living and drinking, and they probably didn't think so deeply at all. They just went wherever there was fun!

snort!

If you look at it this way, Grand Duke Constantine is also a stupid idiot, otherwise how could he provoke his two stupid sons. He is so stupid that he is hopeless!

After despising Grand Duke Konstantin, Count Uvarov suddenly became confused. He felt that among the leading figures of the reformist group, Grand Duke Konstantin was a stupid person with high eyesight and short sight, while Nicholas Milyutin is another fool who wavers in willpower, and Grand Duchess Elena is just a female figure.

How could such a bunch of rotten eggs be forced into this position by his wise Count Uvarov?

No matter how you look at it, these fools are not difficult to deal with, but how can they lead those liberal elements to where they are today?

According to common sense, shouldn't these guys have been defeated and reduced to ashes by him long ago?

Count Uvarov was confused and could not understand that he would be stumped by a group of bad chess players. Could it be that he thinks too highly of himself, but he is actually a bad chess player?

To be honest, he didn't want to admit it, let alone believe the result. He didn't think he was a bad chess player, but if he wasn't, he couldn't find the reason why he was in trouble.

This feeling was driving him crazy. He felt like he was playing chess with an invisible opponent, and the stinky chess pieces above were just placed... ?

Come out and shake his target just to confuse him.

I have to admit that Count Uvarov is quite good, and he has almost guessed the truth. It's just that he couldn't find any evidence to support the truth. He looked around the entire officialdom and couldn't find anyone who could command Nikolai Milyutin, Grand Duke Constantine and Grand Duchess Elena.

So he was at a loss, not knowing whether to trust his intuition, think that he was really overthinking, or simply admit that he was actually a bad chess player..._\u0026 ?
