Struggle in Russia

Chapter 1396 You shouldn’t be soft-hearted

Count Rostovtsev was too familiar with Alexander II. He knew that His Majesty was a master of yin and yang and was best at doing one thing in front of others and doing another behind his back, so he would not trust anyone.

What's more, he really didn't give Alexander II any ideas. It's not surprising that his Majesty would use other ideas.

He even guessed that Alexander II would definitely find Duke Dolgoruky instead of Pobedonostsev.

The reason is very simple. Duke Dolgoruky obviously does not share the same heart with him regarding the matter of Grand Duke Constantine, and nothing can be obtained by asking him for help.

But Duke Dolgoruky is different. He is from Duke Baryatinsky, and he has just been punished. It is the time when the picture is shown.

As long as Alexander II moved his finger, he would pounce on him like a pug with his tail wagging.

However, Count Rostovtsev is not worried about Duke Dolgoruky. Although this Duke is quite capable and ambitious, his current skills are still too low-level. There are a lot of things to learn. Maybe in ten years he will grow into a big shot, but now he is just a clown!

Count Rostovtsev has too many ways to deal with the clown. As long as he uses a little indirect means, he can make the pug Duke return without success.

If Duke Dolgoruky knew that Count Rostovtsev regarded him as a lapdog, he would definitely be quite annoyed, but he could not do anything to Count Rostovtsev except being annoyed, because the two parties were not a heavyweight at all. Opponent, if he dared to challenge Count Rostovtsev, the lightest punishment would be to be beaten to paralysis.

Of course, after being summoned by Alexander II, he did not know what Count Rostovtsev thought. His heart was entirely focused on Alexander II and he had no time to care about anything else. All he could think about was how to please his master.

"Your Majesty, I think this problem can be easily solved," he vowed to Alexander II: "I will send someone to warn Umerov. It only takes a little trick to make him behave!"

He said it happily, and it seemed that he really thought it was a small matter. However, Alexander II did not think this was a trivial matter, let alone happy. He was not satisfied with Duke Dolgoruky's attitude.

Obviously this dog has not yet understood the seriousness and difficulty of the matter. He actually tried to use hooligan methods to solve such a serious and complex problem. Isn't it funny?

Couldn't the third part of Tangtang come up with some high-grade methods to solve the problem, threats and intimidation? He didn’t raise the third one just so they could be mafia!

Alexander II was obviously still too young. He wanted to solve problems but also wanted to be smart and beautiful. It was best to solve all troubles politely like a gentleman in upper class society.

It's just that he hasn't thought about one thing clearly, that is, what does he want?

Is it to solve the problem, or is it to focus on the means and process?

He just paid too much attention to the latter, causing him to put the cart before the horse and ignore the former.

If it were Nicholas I, he wouldn't worry about whether the means are good or not. He would only care about whether the results are ideal. That's why he deliberately established the third part and turned it into a famous black glove violent organization.

If Alexander II could be half like his father, he would not be in the current situation. It can only be said that he still has to learn how to be a qualified emperor.

"This is inappropriate," Alexander II flatly refused. "It would have such a bad influence if it spread. I don't want those liberal elements to make up such stories!"

Duke Dolgoruky suddenly choked up. He looked at his master stupidly, as if he couldn't believe his ears.

Perhaps he was thinking: Would the Tsar care about this?

Well, Alexander II really cared about this for the time being. In the future, when he completely puts aside these ridiculous reservations, he will be the real him then, so you can see a series of his bold actions.

For example, marrying a mistress who is a little younger than you and becoming a queen...

It took a long time before Duke Dolgoruky came back to his senses. He asked cautiously: "Your Majesty, you don't want to use threats...disgraceful means to get Umerov to cooperate honestly, right?"

Alexander II nodded matter-of-factly.

Suddenly, Duke Dolgoruky felt confused. What is this? If you don't want to use dishonorable means, why call him here? Isn’t the third part about wiping the czar’s dirty work?

After a long while, he continued: "But...but Your Majesty, this is the only thing you can do in the third part!"

A trace of disappointment and impatience flashed across Alexander II's face, but he still said patiently: "Duke, the third part was never what you thought... This institution was created to make Russia a better place. Well, it is to eliminate those enemies who threaten our country... As for how to engage in this sacred work in the third part, please find Shuyuan www.zhaoshuyuan.com I think you are too biased. You should open up your mind and use a broader perspective. Looking at these questions, I believe that if you do it, you will definitely come to a completely different conclusion!”

Duke Dolgoruky's heart was twitching. He was not stunned by Alexander II. Did you chatter about such a bunch of useful things? It’s not all fake nonsense!

It's just that he didn't dare to answer Alexander II like this. Not everyone dared to contradict the pUA boss, at least Duke Dolgoruky didn't.

He was sweating profusely and replied hesitantly: "Well... Your Majesty... I think... you are right... I am indeed too narrow-minded and should broaden my horizons..."

It's just that none of his answers were useful at all. At least Alexander II didn't hear what he wanted. This made him despise Duke Dolgoruky and felt that this dog's abilities were too mediocre. .

Maybe if it were Pobedonostsev, the other party would be able to grasp the core issue at once, understand his intentions, and then try to get closer to him.

Of course, he may not be able to come up with a particularly perfect solution, but his attitude of being able to understand and actively approach is good, at least it won't be as annoying as the dog in front of him!

It’s just that Pobedonostsev is unreliable now!

Alexander II lamented. He felt that he had been having a bad time recently, and everything he did was not going well. Even the confidants around him were either unrecognizable or severely damaged and did not care about their important role. He was really worried!

And the reason why all this happened was that Archduke Constantine came to ask for help. If he had not been soft-hearted and agreed to the other party at that time, maybe he would not have such a headache now...
