Struggle in Russia

The news of Viscount Trubetskoy's arrest quickly spread throughout St. Petersburg. When most people learned about it, their first reaction was that it was done by conservatives and that it was a counterattack by conservatives against reformists.

To be more specific, it is the conservative response to the attack on Duke Baryatinsky!

Because the characteristics are so obvious, who can make the third part work? Not Alexander II yet!

The only thing that disappoints everyone is that Viscount Trubetskoy is really not a big shot, at least he cannot be equal to Duke Baryatinsky.

How effective can cleaning up such a small shrimp be?

However, there are still a few people who dare to speak like this. The power of the third part makes most people choose to shut up. No one wants to go to the third part to have tea, right?

The subsequent arrests of Count Lotvykin, Baron Sigansky, and Viscount Montelov finally silenced those who had the above thoughts.

It turns out that it’s not that the third part is weak, it’s that they caught a net of fish at once!

Many analysts who think they are smart also plausibly analyzed: It is mainly liberal elements and no big figures. It is impossible to arrest Duke Vorontsov or Count Nikolai Milyutin, right? If we do this in the third part, will there still be those bad things from before?

However, for those who really know the inside story, the current situation makes them either confused or worried.

The conservative side is completely confused. For example, Alexander II didn't understand what the sudden move in the third part meant?

Because he did not give an order. In fact, he had always told Pobedonostsev to exercise restraint and not add fuel to the fire. What I'm afraid of is that it will suddenly stimulate the reformists and make them go crazy and risk their lives.

So when it happened, his first reaction was that he was going to stir up a hornet's nest! At that time, he wanted to call Pobedonostsev to the imperial study and ask him what he wanted to do!

But what happened next surprised him, because in the third part, several reform leaders were arrested one after another. Maybe these guys were not very big, but they were many!

At that time, he was so frightened that he almost had a heart attack. Fortunately, Count Rostovtsev persuaded him in time and told him to calm down and take a look at the situation first, and not to rush into anything. After all, Count Pobedonostsev's position is very crucial. Now he can only be coaxed. Even if he makes mistakes, he can only turn a blind eye!

So Alexander II suppressed his anger and closely monitored the progress of the situation.

Soon he discovered that things were getting more and more unusual. It was said that the reformists would not take any action when faced with such a provocation.

But neither Duke Vorontsov nor Grand Duchess Irina or Nikolai Milyutin responded at all.

Not to mention revenge, he didn't even take any action to spy on the news. He was just watching the fun and not taking it too seriously!

This made Alexander II confused. Did Nikolai Milyutin and the others not care at all about the life and death of Viscount Trubetskoy?

So he thought about it and came to the conclusion: There must be a problem within the reformists. It is possible that the victory in the St. Petersburg District Court and the current situation are so promising that they have been distracted!

This conclusion naturally made Alexander II feel very good, and he couldn't help but have some thoughts: Since the response to this wave of actions in the third part was good, does that mean that he can take advantage of the victory and carry out another wave?

His heart became hot at the thought of this, why not give it a try?

So he called Duke Dolgoruky to assign a task, and arrested another middle-level leader of the reformists that day. But who would have thought that Nikolai Milyutin would rush into the Winter Palace before he was sent to prison? , strongly protested to him about the random arrests in the third part, and demanded the immediate release of the unlucky guy arrested by Duke Dolgoruky.

Alexander II was confused again. What was going on? Wasn’t there no response from the person who was arrested at the front? Why did the last one explode? Is this the bottom line that Nikolai Milyutin can accept? Not even one more?

But the problem is, if Nikolay Milyutin is actually not satisfied with the arrests in the third part, then he would have to mention the previous ones when he came to the Winter Palace to protest! It must be said that the third part is becoming more and more lawless, and many innocent people have been arrested in succession.

The problem is that’s not what he said! He only mentioned the last person, and he just ignored the first ones?

Are the previous ones not important to the reformists at all?

But it’s obvious that those people who have been jumping up and down are working very hard. If I don’t say credit, at least it’s hard work!

Nikolai Milyutin is not the kind of mean, ungrateful, and disrespectful master. It is impossible for him to favor one person against another!

The piles of questions made Alexander II's head explode. He couldn't figure it out no matter how he analyzed it. Find Shuyuan www.zhaoshuyuan.com In the end, Count Rostovtsev revealed the secret: "Since you care so much about this matter, why not ask Count Pobedonostsev to come over and ask?"

Alexander II rolled his eyes and thought to himself: "It was you who asked me to calm down and not ask more questions before, but now it's you who asked me to ask, are you reliable?"

Count Rostovtsev is of course reliable. Having known the truth early on, he certainly knew that Li Xiao was causing trouble. He admired the way of killing someone decisively and taking revenge without leaving the night.

This is not the only way to deal with those pinkeyes. Whenever you give in once, there will be another time, which will be extremely troublesome.

Besides, he doesn't like the scumbags in the faction who are just trying to be fools, especially since he knows the mentality of these scumbags very well, so naturally he can't let them block the path of promising juniors.

Helping to buy time as much as possible, and fooling Alexander II to make him more anxious, can be regarded as a waste.

As for now, he still has a way to explain: "At this moment, Nikolai Milyutin's attitude shows that the matter is not simple. At this time, we must ask Count Pobedonozev to find out what happened. This is the best way to make decisions!"

Alexander II thought the same thing, okay, then let Pobedonostsev come over and ask!

This question didn't matter. Pobedonostsev just asked questions without knowing anything.

Only then did Alexander II realize that things were indeed not simple!

"What's going on?" He looked at Pobedonostsev with wide eyes and asked: "It is indeed the third department that arrested the person, and the arrest warrant was also issued by you. Now you are telling me that you have no knowledge at all. , Earl, don’t you think this is very problematic?”
