Struggle in Russia

【Struggle in Tsarist Russia】【】

For the first time, Grand Duke Constantine felt from the bottom of his heart that Viscount Prozolov was still useful. Without his reminder, he would have been pinched by Alexander II.

But he was still a little hesitant. What if Alexander II was more confident than expected and didn't care much about winning or losing?

There wasn't much time left for him to think. Alexander II didn't know that his background had been seen through by Viscount Prozolov. Seeing that Grand Duke Constantine didn't speak, he immediately started to increase the pressure: "Since you have no objection, then first Let the third department investigate. If there is real evidence, then they will be punished severely. On the contrary, if there is no factual basis..."

Alexander II didn't say clearly what would happen if there was no factual basis, but looking at his expression, you knew that there was definitely nothing good to say. This made Grand Duke Constantine even more angry, and thought to himself: Isn't this just extortion? Are you convinced of me?

He also had a temper. Think about it, he already had a lot of opinions against Alexander II, and yet he was humiliated and blackmailed for no reason. How could he be convinced?

I’m definitely not convinced!

Grand Duke Constantine got angry and stood up to leave: "In that case, let the third part investigate slowly! I have finished what I should say and what I should remind. Some people can't listen." It’s none of my business to go in!”

Alexander II was stunned. He felt that Grand Duke Constantine was the dish on the plate and he could eat whatever he wanted. But who would have thought that the duck in his mouth wanted to run away? What was going on?

To be honest, he had no idea about this, and he was immediately at a loss. He didn't know whether to hold Archduke Constantine back or continue to put pressure on him to scare him.

As a bystander, Count Rostovtsev saw clearly. It was obvious that Grand Duke Constantine saw through Alexander II's trump card and knew that he could not stop here and really didn't care.

This means that the relationship between the two parties is no longer a relationship between seeker and beneficiary, but a more equal cooperative relationship.

It can only be said that Alexander II played a good card to pieces. If he paid attention to it at the beginning and did not take it lightly and lost the battle in the St. Petersburg District Court, the situation would be completely different. Maybe his plan could really be divided and disintegrated. Reformists.

The problem is that he lost this crucial battle. It seems that he can still go to the higher court to get the result, but the initiative has changed hands. He could no longer "stay out" and instruct Archduke Constantine to do what he did before. He had to end it himself.

And this also means that he cannot completely control Grand Duke Constantine, and he has to do whatever Grand Duke Constantine is told to do like instructing his subordinates. Now Grand Duke Constantine can refuse!

Especially considering the situation of Grand Duke Constantine, he will lose no matter who wins anyway, so he might as well just be barefoot and not cooperate with you guys who wear shoes.

Now that Constantine did this, it was Alexander II's turn to have a headache.

So can Alexander II break the situation?

In Count Rostovtsev's opinion, Alexander II didn't have many options, at least he couldn't think of a way to perfectly solve the dilemma and regain the initiative.

If he is wise enough and wants to continue fighting, the only way out is to compromise with Archduke Constantine.

Otherwise, he and Grand Duke Constantine would really become a pair of brothers in trouble and be beaten up by Nikolai Milyutin and Li Xiao.

Grand Duke Constantine left calmly and decisively. Alexander II looked at his back and tried to reach out to organize for a moment, but in the end he did not say anything.

These two brothers are just as obsessed with face as their father, and asking them to bow their heads and admit their mistakes would be even harder than climbing to heaven!

When Grand Duke Constantine walked away, Alexander II's face suddenly collapsed. With a livid face, he asked Count Rostovtsev and Count Kleinmicher: "What should I do? Kostya, this **** He actually left! How dare he do this! Damn it!"

Count Rostovtsev wanted to ask: Why couldn't he do this? Who stipulates that I can only follow you? It’s true that you are the Tsar, and it’s true that you have the power of life and death, but not everyone is afraid of you. How can those who are not afraid of death and those who you can’t kill like Grand Duke Constantine follow you in everything! Wake up and recognize the reality quickly!

Among the three people, Count Kleinmicher was probably the most confused. He was also shocked by Archduke Constantine's behavior and couldn't understand why this man was so tough. And he had no idea at all about the question raised by Alexander II. How did he know what to do? He didn't even understand what was going on!

Count Kleinmicher's confusion and slowness of Alexander II are not surprising at all. This is his characteristic and the reason why he is trustworthy. Talents like him who are not smart enough are reliable enough, because people who are too smart will have Other thoughts, for example, he knew that Count Rostovtsev must have seen a lot of things and had his own little calculations.

Alexander II had always been aware of Count Rostovtsev's small actions, but he turned a blind eye to these small actions.

After all, he still relies on Count Rostovtsev~www.readwn.com~ and naturally he has to tolerate some innocuous little actions. In addition, he also wanted to see what Count Rostovtsev wanted to do, because he had never understood the character and hobbies of this important adviser.

This made him very insecure. Which emperor wouldn't be afraid of a minister who was very resourceful and could not understand his thoughts?

Did Count Rostovtsev know that Alexander II was afraid of him?

Naturally, this was actually the impression he deliberately left on the other party. He just wanted to make Alexander II fear him, and he wanted to make him use him but also be wary of him.

Because only in this way can he maintain the distance from Alexander II and prevent the relationship between the two parties from getting too close!

Why do you do that?

There are several reasons.

First of all, Count Rostovtsev is also a human being. He naturally has seven emotions and six desires. He cannot really be desireless and ruthless.

Once he gets too close to Alexander II and has feelings, it will hinder his career.

He will never allow his personal feelings to interfere with his great career!

Secondly, getting too close is not conducive to hiding his secrets. Even if he has been very careful to hide his secrets, it is not really foolproof.

No one is perfect, and there are gaps. If you get too close to Alexander II, you will find something wrong sooner or later.

For the sake of his career and to protect his secrets, he can only live in isolation and isolate himself from other people. To achieve this, what better protection is there than being inscrutable and unable to see through?
