Struggle in Russia

【Struggle in Tsarist Russia】 【】

Duke Alexander and Duke Mikhail looked at each other, both confused. Their relationship with old Adlerberg was very ordinary. In the past, I didn’t say that we would never see each other until death, at least I would not come to the door without saying hello.

"Why is he here?" Prince Mikhail asked.

Duke Alexander shook his head and said, "I don't know. It doesn't look like His Majesty sent him here. It's a private matter?"

Duke Mikhail was even more surprised. He also thought that it was unlikely that Alexander II sent old Adlerberg. If he really wanted to announce the news, he could just send a servant. How could he let the dignified minister of palace affairs run errands?

But this was even more puzzling, because as far as he knew, Duke Alexander had no personal relationship with old Adlerberg, so naturally there was no request for payment for personal matters.

Considering old Adlerberg's sensitive conservative identity, Duke Mikhail preferred not to deal with this slippery old fox for the time being.

Duke Alexander shook his head and said: "That's inappropriate! Although reform is the general trend, the strength of those conservative guys cannot be underestimated. It doesn't hurt to meet him. It's not a bad thing to blur our position!"

Then, without waiting for Duke Mikhail to object, he ordered the butler to invite old Adlerberg in, and then said: "Mikhail, let's go see him together?"

To be honest, Duke Mikhail didn't want to deal with old Adlerberg. Because he has never had a good impression of this guy who always rides on the wall. He always feels that this guy is too long-sleeved and can't be relied on at all.

It's just that Duke Alexander has made a decision, and he is too lazy to object, but if he is asked to "suffer" along with him, he will be grateful!

He waved his hand and said, "I won't go. I'm too lazy to grind my teeth with him. It's boring!"

Duke Alexander smiled and said nothing. Duke Mikhail had this temper. Although he was willing to deal with those old foxes most of the time, if he had a choice, he would rather keep his military style straightforward.

"Dear Fra... ?

Kimil, you are such a rare visitor! I've been back for so long and I haven't seen you come to say hello. I thought you had forgotten me as a friend! "

Old Adlerberg was a little surprised and flattered by Duke Alexander's enthusiasm. Although Duke Alexander is only the acting foreign minister for the time being, his status seems to be just that.

But how could a Hermitage encyclopedia and Hermitage gossip collector like him not know that this was just a measure to temporarily maintain the balance of power.

It's just to save face for Neserrodie. If nothing goes wrong, next year Duke Alexander will at least be a full-fledged foreign minister, and it is very likely that he will even be given the title of prime minister.

In short, this man is a real big shot and will be the second most powerful figure in Russia after Alexander II in the future.

Such a character shows a different kind of enthusiasm to him who has a mediocre relationship with him, which is enough face.

Old Adlerberg, who was a social master and a know-it-all in officialdom, immediately followed the lead and replied with fear: "I'm sorry, dear Duke, I don't mean to neglect you. It's because you have so many things to do, and the people who want to see you are always there." When the queue reaches Moscow, how can I dare to trade?

I came to disturb you! "

Duke Alexander's heart was full of hehe, and he said in his heart: He said he didn't dare, but that's not what you are doing now!

"You are joking, I just have more friends and social activities, so more people come to visit me... As for all the busy schedules, that's all a joke. No matter how busy I am, I still have time to receive you. As long as you are willing to chat with me, I can always No matter what, my door is always open to you!"

The two of them exchanged some false polite words, and then old Adlerberg said in a very "uneasy" voice: "Duke, there is nothing else to do with your sudden visit. As you know, my son Sasha is a young man. Sometimes I am impulsive when doing things and do not think carefully enough, so it is inevitable that I will offend some people..."

Duke Alexander frowned inwardly. Although he did not hang out in St. Petersburg all year round, he was a leader in the aristocratic circle of St. Petersburg... ?

There is still no way to hide what the leader's movements are from him.

As far as he knew, little Adlerberg was not the kind of impulsive person. On the contrary, he was a real little fox. No matter what he does, he always makes plans before taking action, and he is as good at dancing as his father. It is almost impossible to say that he is a sinner because of young people's impulsiveness.

In short, Duke Alexander did not believe what old Adlerberg said because it was too false.

He just hummed twice, as if he was listening carefully and waiting for old Adlerberg to get to the point quickly.

Old Adlerberg was not in a hurry. He continued to say with sincerity: "Duke, you should have heard that Sasha offended Archduke Andre two years ago because of his carelessness, which made the Grand Duke very unhappy. Although At that time, conflicts and disputes were actively resolved, but..."

Duke Alexander knew about this. That time the little fox kicked the iron plate and killed the boss. But as the old fox said, this matter has indeed been resolved. At least he has not heard that Li Xiao is still holding a grudge over this.

Based on his understanding of old Adlerberg, this old fox should also know that the matter has been successfully resolved and there are no hidden dangers, so what does he mean by suddenly mentioning this now?

"But what?" asked Prince Alexander, pretending to be curious.

This was what Old Adlerberg was waiting for, and he hurriedly said: "But, Archduke Andrei is now in charge of the Third Department of St. Petersburg... You also know how much power the Third Department has. I'm afraid that he will have some influence on Sasha. Sha Sha still has a misunderstanding. If he takes some measures, I’m worried about affecting Sa Sha’s future!”

Duke Alexander licked the old fox's words carefully. He always felt that the old fox was pretending to be stupid. The third part is indeed very powerful, but that was before. Now in the third part, being chased and beaten by Nikolai Milyutin can only be done with one's tail between legs. What's more, who doesn't know that Li Xiao is hated by Alexander II? It's impossible. With the support of that Supreme Being, and his new official taking office, he did not have much influence at all.

And you old Adler... ?

Although Ge has been a bit depressed in recent years, he is still a skinny camel bigger than a horse. Even if Li Xiao causes trouble for little Adlerberg, your relationship and power can resolve it in minutes.

Now that you're saying you're worried about this, aren't you kidding?

Anyway, Duke Alexander didn't believe a word of the old fox's words, but he didn't understand why the old fox would use such an excuse to visit him. What was the meaning of this? What kind of peace of mind do you have? _\u0026 ?
