Struggle in Russia

Old Adlerberg finally remembered the benefits of Count Uvarov and began to miss the old count who was responsible and courageous.

But, if Count Uvarov is really allowed to come back, he will probably not be happy.

Why?

The reason is simple. Count Uvarov is too powerful. The reason why he takes responsibility is because he almost monopolizes the right to speak among conservatives. Almost everyone has to revolve around him, and everyone has to listen to his orders.

Precisely because no one can disobey his orders, he must be responsible. Otherwise, if something big happens and he plays the ball again, the conservatives will be finished long ago.

As the saying goes, if you want to wear a crown, you must bear its weight. There is no good thing in the world that only enjoys the benefits but does not fulfill its responsibilities.

And now the reason why Pobedonostsev is unwilling to "take office", apart from having a private agreement with the reformists, the most important thing is that he feels that if he takes office but does not enjoy the corresponding benefits, what will he think? They are all doing loss-making business, so naturally they are not happy about it.

The reason for this phenomenon is that conservative groups have emerged together. Old Adlerberg and others have enjoyed the benefits of the increased voice after the fall of Count Uvarov. You ask them to re-send their right to speak in exchange for Pobedonostsev taking responsibility. To be honest, old fox, they will definitely not be willing to do so.

As a result, things came to a standstill. Pobedonostsev refused to let go of the rabbit, while old Adlerberg and others refused to give up their right to speak. Naturally, the two sides could not urinate together. After chatting for a long time, old Adlerberg saw that Pobedonostsev was unwilling to take action and could only leave in frustration.

After getting on the carriage, he started to curse Pobedonostsev in front of Minih, which made Minih somewhat embarrassed. He had neither the courage to offend old Adlerberg nor Pobedotsev. Noszev could only laugh and pretend to be stupid.

"Damn wallflower!"

Old Adlerberg spat in his heart and despised Minih even more. No wonder you can only work as an official in a cold yamen like the Ministry of Justice, where your father doesn't care for you and grandma doesn't like it. Just look at you. The virtue of being guided by the wind is not worthy of entrusting you with important tasks.

It’s just that he still has to help this bastard. After all, this is no longer a matter of the Ministry of Justice. It involves the interests of the entire conservative party. If the reformers really tame the Ministry of Justice, a defeat will be waiting for them. .

After thinking again and again, he ordered: "Go to the Winter Palace!"

Yes, he could only go to Alexander II to find a solution. At least he had to tell Alexander II the latest trends of the reformists. He had to let the tsar know the seriousness of the matter!

It's just that every move he made was completely under the attention of Count Rostovtsev. Before he left Pobedonostsev's office, Li Xiao got the news.

"That old fox has a really keen sense of smell!" Li Xiao sighed.

Because he originally thought he could catch the other party off guard, but by the time the other party reacted, it was already too late. But now it seems that Alexander II will react soon. He cannot sit back and watch the Ministry of Justice be defeated by the reformists.

Li Xiao touched his chin and said to Vishnyak who came to report the news: "It seems that I have to speed up. I will start closing the net immediately. Go tell the count and try to buy me a little more time if you can." !”

Of course Vishnyak knew the seriousness of the matter, but he felt that it was unrealistic to expect Count Rostovtsev to buy time. After all, the nature of the matter was obvious, and even he, who was very powerful, could not make Tizizi sing the opposite. Bar?
