Struggle in Russia

Mordvichev frowned. Blokhin's words made him a little worried. The uproar caused by the reformists was enough to give their Ministry of Justice a headache. Now Duke Gorchakov has begun to stir up trouble in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. No matter how you look at it, it sounds like a storm is about to come!

However, he was not particularly worried because the Ministry of Justice had a special status and was not too afraid of the reformists' efforts. Moreover, Alexander II also gave them a hint that they should do things according to the tsar's will. Even if the reformists want to cause trouble, there is nothing they can do, right?

"Speaking of which, can you still withstand it?" Blokhin suddenly asked.

Mordvichev was stunned: "What can you withstand?"

Blokhin smiled and said: "Stop pretending to be stupid. Of course, you can withstand the pressure from Count Nikolai Milyutin. Who doesn't know that he has been putting pressure on your boss recently... I say you must resist." Stay, otherwise things will be in trouble!"

Mordvichev's heart trembled. Even Blokhin could see that they were under great pressure. There was no reason that the conservative bosses above couldn't see it!

Since we know that they are under great pressure, we should help them, so how can we let Nikolai Milyutin make mistakes?

Blokhin sneered and said: "You don't understand this! After all, reform is something that His Majesty has approved. Even if His Majesty has to agree, you can't go back on it, at least you can't go back on it openly. So the boss It’s not easy for the big bosses to intervene for the time being, but I don’t think they will let those liberal elements be arrogant.”

It is true to say so, but Mordwitchev is always a little unhappy. Why should they be allowed to fight against the reformists, a small department that was not loved by their father and grandma in the past? When they used to enjoy the benefits, they could only drink the soup, but now they are asked to be at the front. This doesn't make sense, does it?

"You can't say that. After all, if those liberal elements are allowed to do whatever they want, everyone will not have a good life... It's not that we deliberately pushed you out to the front, but now only you are suitable to do this... Besides, , how can I get less of your benefits when I frustrate the plots of liberal elements and reward them for their merits in the future? Let’s take a long-term view, my friend!”

Mordvichev, however, sneered at this and rewarded people based on their merits. When has there ever been a fair way for conservatives to reward people based on their merits? Those who do dirty work can never expect to get much benefit. Every time, the boss who is watching the show gets the big head, and the one who has a deep background gets the small head. In the end, the people who are really doing the work are dismissed with just a little bit of soup and water.

If you stupidly only know how to do things, you may end up losing even your pants!

Suddenly he snorted: "Come on, come on, when have the words from above been fulfilled? The pressure from liberal elements is so great now, how can our Ministry of Justice alone be able to withstand it... When the time comes, don't expect us to perish together with the liberal elements, we It’s not that stupid, anyway, the higher-ups have already spoken, and if we don’t give them any help, we will have no choice but to let them do whatever they want!”

Blokhin's expression suddenly changed. He knew very well that Mordvichev's words were not actually meant for him. Even the person who really meant this was not Mordvichev. After all, this guy can only be considered a middle-level member of the Ministry of Justice, and there is no way he can decide such a big matter.

This is probably because the upper echelons of the Ministry of Justice have reached a consensus and deliberately let middle-level officials like Mordvichev speak out.

The meaning is also clear, either support them or wait for the liberal elements to succeed. To put it more bluntly, the **** in the Ministry of Justice used the threats of liberal elements to negotiate terms with them and coerce them.

Blokhin spat in his heart, secretly cursing these **** in the Ministry of Justice for being so despicable. It seemed that this time the Ministry of Justice was going to make a big profit no matter what. If they were not fed, these **** might still be around. Maybe something bad happened.

"Calm down, my friend!" Blokhin cursed secretly in his heart and had to comfort him: "I believe the bosses above know your difficulties, and they will definitely not stand idly by. But it takes time, so please calm down. Don’t be impatient, I believe things will change soon.”

Mordvichev snorted coldly: "I hope! But it doesn't matter to us. Anyway, no matter how hard the liberal elements try, we will still have to eat... At worst, we will join them and join them... With our help I believe they are even more powerful with their reforms... If the higher-ups don’t want to see this happen, it’s best to take action as soon as possible, our patience is limited!”

Blokhin clicked his tongue again, feeling more and more that these grandsons from the Ministry of Justice were no longer a thing. The problem is that conservatives have this tradition. When there is benefit, everyone rushes to grab it, but when there is difficulty, everyone avoids it.

In short, it is almost wishful thinking to get help. If you go to Shuyuan www.zhaoshuyuan.com, you may get stabbed by your own people.

However, the situation this time is completely different. If the Ministry of Justice is allowed to take the lead, I am afraid that it will really not be an opponent of the reformists. Once the Ministry of Justice gives up, there will no longer be any way to stop the reformists. From this perspective, conservatives should be able to work together as one, right?

It's just that Blokhin really doesn't have much confidence, because from what he knows, conservatives in other departments are happy to see the results of the Justice Department's "laying down", and they would like the reformists to fight to the death with the Ministry of Justice.

If we want them to help, it may be impossible without the help of several top brass, even Alexander II.

But this is not something that a little shrimp like him can decide. He is just a microphone, and he only needs to convey the voice of the Ministry of Justice upwards. As for the final decision made by the superiors, he has no control over it and has no interest in it.

So he quickly changed the subject: "Okay, let's not talk about these disappointing things. Is there any news about what I told you last time?"

Mordvichev actually had the same idea as him. What he said just now was just to help convey the message. Who knew that this was an order from above.

What he really cared about was his own affairs. As soon as he heard Blokhin's words, he immediately became energetic and replied with a smile: "It's not that things can't be done, but the money seems to be a bit insufficient!"

Blokhin suddenly frowned: "There won't be enough. Didn't it always cost 30,000 rubles to recruit people in the past?"

Mordvichev shook his head and said: "It was before, and it is now. Now we are under great pressure and have been tortured so much by the liberal elements. The brothers in various departments have no time to deal with other things. We want to let the big guys withdraw. If you have time to help, you will naturally have to pay a little extra effort!"
