I beat sparrows all day long, but today the sparrows pecked at my eyes. This is talking about Nicholas I, the tsar who has always manipulated the overall situation to balance all forces, and strives to be the final winner. But as his methods gradually became familiar to the courtiers, as the courtiers' experience and skills in fighting him became more and more abundant, one day he would not be able to handle these by himself, and he became more and more shrewd and capable. The old fried dough stick minister with his own ideas.

For example, this time, he thought that he could still play with Nesselrode and Duke Alexander between the applause and applause as before, and he would benefit in the end as a fisherman. But who would have thought that the prey in his eyes had already seen through his true thoughts, so he simmered and cooked him one piece at a time.

It has to be said that Nicholas I was too confident. He thought he was very powerful and could suppress the ruling and opposition parties by himself. But as the old saying goes, how many nails can you drive with a whole body of iron? Even if he is the emperor, individual wisdom will never be able to fight against the collective!

What Nicholas I needs to fight now is the collective counterattack of the upward and downward interest groups that he has suppressed and played with for more than 20 years.

Yes, don't look at Duke Alexander who is making the move now, but Duke Alexander has never been alone. Standing behind him is an entire interest group. And although it is only the interest group that Duke Alexander belongs to, you can guarantee that other interest groups have no idea of ​​taking a share.

In the final analysis, Nicholas I suppressed his courtiers too hard before. The courtiers are like springs, the tighter you press, the greater the reaction force will be. When Nicholas I was not as good as before, and when his courtiers became more and more powerful, how could he be completely suppressed?

Let's put it this way, Duke Alexander's decisive reaction this time is also closely related to the attitude of the ruling and opposition parties. Do you think he really dares to fight against the imperial power on his own? His behind-the-scenes confrontation was not only supported by his own interest group, but also secretly informed by other interest groups. In short, it was a big backlash against Nicholas I and Nesselrode from the entire ruling and opposition parties!

From Li Xiao's point of view, he felt that the Duke of Alexander was at least backed by the Duke of Aldorf. He could see it from the last confrontation about the candidate for the governor of Wallachia. The Duke of Aldorf must be with the Duke Alexander has an affair, and there must be an exchange of interests between the two parties.

Think about it too, without the support of the Duke of Aldorf, how could Duke Alexander, who is thousands of miles away from St. Petersburg, know the situation in the capital well?

Not only the Duke of Ordorf, but the group of the powerful and mysterious Count Rostovtsev must also be on the side of Duke Alexander. The three major interest groups can occupy the ruling and opposition parties together. half of the country.

Not to mention that there is a large group of fencers who are watching,

For the people of the ruling and opposition parties, they really wish that Nesselrode would collapse. This old man has been the prime minister for too long, and he has been eating alone for too long. It is time to make way for everyone!

After thinking about this, Li Xiao became more confident. He asked calmly, "Duke, what are you going to do...or what do you want me to do?"

Duke Alexander smiled. It is easy to talk to smart people, and he replied straightforwardly without going around the corner: "It is not convenient for me to deal with those cunning bastards. Your Excellency, how about you take over and deal with them?"

The so-called cunning bastards naturally refer to those bastards sent by Nesselrode, and letting Li Xiao deal with these people naturally did not exceed his expectations at all. Obviously this is both an opportunity and a test for Duke Alexander to Li Xiao.

After all, not everyone can cooperate with a top interest group like Duke Alexander. You have to prove your ability, otherwise why would they take you to get promoted and make a fortune?

In fact, as early as when Duke Alexander mentioned those bastards, Li Xiao knew that these people must be left for him to clean up. It's not that Duke Alexander really can't do anything about them, but that sometimes he doesn't need to do it himself, especially not himself. Dirty hands, aren't they!

Li Xiao replied very calmly: "Yes, I am happy to help you... But, what do you want me to do? Be gentle or fierce?"

Li Xiao's calm surprised Duke Alexander, especially when he asked about the intensity of the method, he was even more surprised, because Li Xiao was so calm, as if he knew what he was going to do.

This made Duke Alexander very uneasy. After all, according to his understanding, Li Xiao should be exposed to this kind of dirty work for the first time. No matter how you say it, he will be a little uncomfortable, or a little entangled. But a certain person just didn't have it. He was completely like an old fritter. I never heard that the Romanov family was so dark inside!

"Duke?"

It was such a daze that Li Xiao couldn't help urging Duke Alexander, and the latter came back to his senses with a hum, and replied: "Means? It's up to you, you can do whatever you want, as long as it can be done as soon as possible." Let them be honest! Of course, it's best not to be too explicit!"

Li Xiao nodded naturally, and agreed immediately. However, he still read something from Alexander's micro-expression. This was obviously another test of his. The duke probably wanted to see what Li Xiao would do. What kind of means to complete the task is just to evaluate what kind of temperament he is and what kind of means he likes.

Li Xiao didn't care too much about this, since Duke Alexander likes to test, let him watch it. Anyway, he doesn't have the conditions to bargain with the other party at all now.

After bidding farewell to Duke Alexander, Li Xiao returned directly to the foothold. Vishniak and Boris had been waiting for him for a long time, and they were relieved to see him come back safely.

Seeing this, Li Xiao said with a smile: "Guys, don't be too nervous. Although I told you that this trip is risky, it is not enough to be tricked to death by Leonid's father."

Vishniak snorted coldly: "Forget it, Leonid is Leonid, and his father is his father. No big man like his father is easy to get along with, all of them are You can't be too careful with a tough character who cannibalize people without spitting out their bones!"

Although Boris didn't necessarily agree completely, he also said: "Be careful sailing for thousands of years, our brothers have managed to mix up some colors, but we can't fold them all in!"

Li Xiao patted them on the shoulder, and replied with a serious face: "You all need to be mentally prepared for this. We have met the Duke too much. Our task this time is not light!"
