Struggle in Russia

Vol 3 Chapter 1433: Dilemma



Didn't Neridova know that Alexander II didn't like liberals? But the world is changing. The old ways are becoming increasingly unpopular today, even in some ultra-conservative families. The younger generation begins to move toward freedom.

At least from what she learned, most people tended to be more liberal as they were middle and lower class nobles. Who makes the current living environment in Russia extremely unfriendly to small nobles?

With little assets to begin with, they have been struggling with food and clothing. If the environment is bad, they will go bankrupt. With the failure of the Crimean War, they have been drained of blood and sincerely hope that a savior can lead them out of the sea of ​​misery!

At this time, the conservatives not only have no solution at all, but have started the big fish eating small fish mode, further squeezing them who are already struggling. What do you think they will do?

Are you willing to be exploited and squeezed to sacrifice everything for conservatives?

There are no such fools at all, but there are definitely not many, okay!

But Alexander II encouraged people to be such fools. Tell me how his approach worked?

But after all, all this is Count Kleinmicher's troubles. Neridova can't just ignore it. After thinking for a moment, she suggested: "Of course you can't go against His Majesty's will, but you can try to make His Majesty change himself." will!"

Count Kleinmicher smiled bitterly and said: "How is this possible? Your Majesty hates those free elements and will never accept them!"

Neridova shook her head and said: "Of course I know that His Majesty hates them, but I am not asking you to change His Majesty's will. You only need to tell Count Rostovtsev the news, and he will definitely have a way!"

Count Kleinmicher doubted whether this would be useful, but he had no other choice but to treat the dead horse as a live doctor.

Count Rostovtsev thanked him. To be honest, he really didn't expect Alexander II to have this idea at this time.

But if you think about it, this is normal. He should realize the importance of employing people, but right now he has no one available.

As an emperor, if you cannot prepare for a rainy day, you can only make up for it before it is too late.

Are you ready to start a small circle behind closed doors?

Count Rostovtsev smiled. If Alexander II was really so intent on ostracizing progressives, this would be good news.

Because he will soon find that the conservatives he values ​​and relies on are rotten, and it is simply a fantasy to expect to select a pillar from them that can turn things around!

Count Rostovtsev could imagine what the enlarged chamber would look like. A bunch of arrogant and empty-headed idiots gathered together to plot against each other.

Isn’t it joyful?

It is conceivable that there will definitely be no shortage of jokes around Alexander II in the future, and all he needs to do is to push forward and let the fire cook the oil, so that these idiots will quarrel earlier.

At that time, Alexander II not only couldn't find the help he wanted, but also had to distract himself from solving these big and small troubles.

After thinking about it, he called his confidants and ordered them to try to deliver the news to the targets he had set in advance.

Without exception, these people were the favorites of Nicholas I and occupied the highest end of the food chain. What's more important is that they all have some juniors who are not very successful.

These second-generation ancestors bluntly said that they were the scourge of St. Petersburg, and the lackeys and lackeys who spent their days in cockfights and drunkenness created a mess.

If all these guys entered the Winter Palace, Count Rostovtsev did not believe that they would immediately change their ways. As long as there is a riot, Alexander II will never have peace!

Of course, if there is a miracle and Alexander II and Count Kleinmicher can really change these **** things, that's not bad. At least he solved a big trouble for the citizens of St. Petersburg, right?

But this is a bit sorry for Count Kleinmicher. In addition to Alexander II, he will definitely be a headache in the future. With his way of doing things and intelligence, he is estimated to be as big as one or two!

Count Rostovtsev secretly observed three seconds of silence for Count Kleinmicher, and then happily prepared to watch the joke. For him, personal joys, sorrows, and joys are not worth mentioning. If it is conducive to the cause of reform, he will not even blink an eyelid at the sacrifice of a few people.

What's more, although Count Kleinmicher will suffer a lot and be tortured later, his life is not in danger after all. Since it is such a big deal, it will be better to compensate him later.

Count Kleinmicher never expected that he would be betrayed by Count Rostovtsev in the blink of an eye. He was quite happy to return to Nelidova. He felt that Count Rostovtsev was still reasonable and promised that he would not embarrass him and would not install free elements in the attendant's room.

This solved his biggest trouble. Anyway, he suddenly felt relaxed, UU reading www. uukanshu.net felt that a big stone in my heart fell to the ground.

He even praised Count Rostovtsev in front of Nelidova, which made the latter roll his eyes.

"I think you should not be too happy. Based on my understanding of the earl, things will never be that simple!"

Count Kleinmicher still didn't believe it: "Are you biased against the count? He has promised me face to face that he will never put anyone in the attendant's room and will not embarrass me. He can't go back on his promise, right? "

Neridova said contemptuously: "For people like them, breaking a promise is as common as drinking water and eating. I think you should not take their guarantee too seriously. It doesn't matter to them whether you keep your words or not. Maybe he is already secretly making a name for himself right now!"

Count Kleinmicher hesitated: "No, I think his attitude is quite sincere, it doesn't look like he is fooling me!"

Nelidova thought for a while, but had no clue. However, based on her understanding of officialdom, she reminded Count Kleinmicher to be more careful. The matter would never end so easily.

Soon Count Kleinmicher discovered that his confidante was right, and the matter was not settled, but became more complicated.

It is said that the expansion of the attendant's room is only Alexander II's personal idea, and it has not been implemented yet. Strictly speaking, it is still in the planning stage.

But the news somehow flew out of the Winter Palace and spread throughout the noble families in St. Petersburg. Countless invitations poured in to Count Kleinmicher, and the crowds of people with various connections almost Crowded his door.

Although he was prepared for this, he had no idea that some of the elders would actually come to the door in person. He had to give these people face even if he didn't give it to them...
