Struggle in Russia

Chapter 42: Pobedonostsev



Hermitage, special office for the Crown Prince.

Although Nicholas I was an abusive emperor who liked the grand Byzantine style and liked to build various tall palaces, monuments and religious buildings, it was not luxurious in itself. On the contrary, his private office decoration is extremely simple, without expensive carpets, expensive furniture and even without seeing huge crystal lamps. Beyond the simple desk and chair and sofa and coffee table is a variety of file cabinets, and in the end is a single camp bed that he uses to sleep every night.

Under the influence of Nicholas I, the office of Crown Prince Alexander is also extremely simple. Except for his camp bed, which is not like his father who sleeps on straw, everything is not bad.

Condittin Pobedonostev waited less than five minutes before being introduced into the Crown Prince's office by an attendant. The old Crown Prince Alexander stood behind his desk and stared at the globe on the desk in a daze. The location he looked at seemed to be along the Black Sea coast of Wallachia. Could it be said that the rumors were true, and that the empire was ready to use the Turks again?

别 Pobedonostsev's thinking was taken away instantly. If you want to use Turkish troops, how many of these opportunities are there for promotion? For a while, he thought more about which "friends" should be recommended to join the feast.

"Constantine, my friend, why are you here suddenly?"

储 Prince Alexander enthusiastically called Pobedonostsev to sit down and asked the attendants to serve black tea. This made Pobedonostsev a little proud, and this kind of confidant treatment was not enjoyed by anyone. Doesn't this indicate his position in the crown prince?

However, this pride quickly passed away. Pobedonostsev knew how ruthless the heavenly family is. When it is useful, you are a treasure, and when it is not, it is not as good as grass. How much power is momentarily valuable because I don't know how to maintain awe and humility towards the master, and as a result, there will be no place to die.

He didn't want to be like those unlucky ancestors, so he was particularly good at expressing his respect and humility. He took the tea cup with both hands with respect and respect, and replied with honor and gratitude:

"Sir, please forgive me, it is because of the appalling cases over the 748 regiment, so I have to come to visit you for your help."

愣 Alexander was stunned. After all, at his level, even if you don't like someone anymore, you can't just stare at someone all the time. Just now I saw Pobedonostsev coming over subconsciously thinking that there was a national event. Whoever thought it was a small matter of the 748 regiment caught him off guard.

"The 748 regiment?" Alexander groaned. "Did that archduke mess up?"

知道 Alexander knew that Pobedonostsev was in the 748 regiment. After all, the grudge between him and Menshekov was a well-known joke among high-level officials. And it ’s his intention to arrange manpower for the 748 regiment. After all, he also needs to train a group of people who are particularly loyal to himself?

The old loyal ministers of Mimenshkov are loyal to his laozi again. Before he became a prince, he was no more than a second-hand leader, and those old ministers would not absolutely face him. And how can the old emperor and the emperor use some old ministers? Menshkov is strictly speaking an old minister of the four dynasties, and he has been rewarded by an extraordinary minister, and it will not be used any longer.

Alexander didn't want to be restrained by a group of powerful people in the future, he also pursued something. What's more, his younger brother Constantine, who was separated by five points, looked at those old ministers and had to guard against it!

So Pobedonostsev was willing to fight against Menshkov. Alexander was happy to do so. Not only can you avoid Menshikov from overswelling him as the crown prince, but you can also train Pobedonostsev's men and horses, and he will be able to use them in the future. Why not?

Pobedonostsev emphasized: "Yes, that grandfather has made a big case!"

Alexander frowned, this was the second time he had heard Pobedonostev speak of the case. Obviously there is something said here, if it is an ordinary mess, at most, it means something. Here, Pobedonostsev has repeatedly emphasized the case, which is completely different in nature. The case involves crime. If you commit a crime ...

精神 Alexander immediately came to the spirit, and he couldn't help thinking: [If Andrei Konstantinovich committed the case, wouldn't it be his crime? Haha, this isn't sleepy to send a pillow, great! 】

别 Alexander's rejoicing expression was seen by Pobedonostsev. In his expectation, the crown prince was really disgusted that the Grand Duke was going to make him look good, and he could use his writing to make bad things good!

However, Pobedonostsev was not in a hurry to express his position, because as far as he knew, the situation was very unfavorable to Kutepov. If he takes advantage of the crown prince's trust to up and down his hands, but ends up beating his face, it will be him who will endure the crown anger. He is not so stupid, Ming Zhe is the first to protect himself in the officialdom.

Alexander couldn't wait to ask, "What case? What happened to that guy? Come on!"

Pobedonostsev answered the words as carefully as possible, "As far as I know, the Grand Duke was a bit of a bully, and relying on his title and knighthood, he was superb as soon as he reached the 748 regiment ~ www.readwn .com ~ Prepared to act nonsense, he fabricated evidence and fabricated charges and led a gang to attack Captain Gasinsky ... "

一 Alexander smiled when he heard it, and rejoiced, "I knew this guy would be proud of me! Haha, now it's up! As soon as he took office, such an appalling case must be severely punished!"

Pobedonostsev still didn't express his stand. Of course, he supports severe punishment for someone, but the problem is that he has no cards in his hand.

依然 He still said very cautiously: "His Royal Highness, these are the reactions of Lieutenant Colonel Kutepov, deputy head of the 748 regiment. I will report to you as soon as I get the news. I don't have time to know the specific situation, I think ..."

Alexander was a little impatient: "Isn't the crime very obvious! What else do you know, let the local gendarmerie come forward and arrest the asshole! I still don't believe it, and a Andrei Konstantinovich can still Heavenly! "

Pobedonostev quietly persuaded: "Her Highness, I think it is better to be cautious, after all, that is a grandfather. If you want to punish him, you must have strong evidence, otherwise you will be sharp. Maybe it will cause some trouble ... I think it is a long-term solution, and it is better to send a competent man to the investigator in the third part. "

Alexander thought about it, and felt that he was in a hurry. It was more reasonable to make the third shot, and it could also make the crime more solid. Some of them, experts, believe that someone will soon be finished.

I persuaded Alexander to let Pobedonostsev breathe a sigh of relief. He had a good relationship with Ordov over the third part. After saying hello, he believed that the less glorious things could disappear. Without that evidence, repairing a certain Grandpa is not the same as playing!
