Struggle in Russia

Duke Dolgoruky was taken away by Duke Vorontsov, which helped Li Xiao earn some money.

It took until the next morning for him to have time to report the situation to Alexander II. To be honest, it was a bit slow.

"Prince Vorontsov took you away by force, so you came late?"

Alexander II's face was quite ugly, and the reason was very simple. The reason given by Duke Dolgoruky was really unacceptable to him.

Isn’t it Prince Vorontsov? With your ability, you should be able to get rid of him, right? You kid is deliberately not actively working!

It's just that he hasn't been able to teach Duke Dolgoruky a lesson, and the reason is very simple. Now that Pobedonostsev has done enough, if Duke Dolgoruky also harbors resentment and starts to mess up, the third part will really be completely paralyzed.

As the Tsar's eyes, ears and thugs, the importance of the third part is too prominent. Once the third part is chosen to be bad, Alexander II is really a little bit blind.

Naturally, he could only suppress his anger and gave Duke Dolgoruky a lesson.

He asked impatiently: "What exactly is going on in the third part of St. Petersburg?"

"Grand Duke Andrei has arrested many people from the Ministry of Justice. The agreement is self-evident. I think he should be ordered to stop immediately and release them immediately!"

Prince Dolgoruky's answer failed to satisfy Alexander II.

Li Xiao must have someone to rely on if he dares to arrest people, and Nikolai Milyuting must be standing behind him to support him. This is probably the most basic thing. It cannot be ruled out that he has indeed caught the Ministry of Justice's pigtails.

Blindly ordering him to release him would only bring humiliation to himself and make things even more uncontrollable.

"If you continue to inquire about the information carefully, you must find out whether the Third Department in St. Petersburg has any evidence against the Ministry of Justice!"

To be honest, even if this task was handed over to Duke Dolgoruky, it was not that reassuring. After Alexander II sent away Duke Dolgoruky, he asked Count Rostovtsev: "Count, the third part of the war is over." This is getting more and more outrageous, and now Count Pobedonostsev cannot be replaced, is there any way you can make them work well?"

Count Rostovtsev smiled bitterly and said: "Your Majesty, to be honest, unless Count Pobedonostsev is replaced and the third department is completely cleaned up, it is almost impossible to restore them to their previous working status."

Alexander II's face suddenly turned ugly, and Count Rostovtsev quickly said: "But there is still a way to make their work attitude more correct."

Alexander II couldn't wait to ask: "What can we do?"

“Have you ever heard of the catfish effect?”

Alexander II knew what he meant, but what troubled him was where was the catfish?

Count Rostovtsev smiled and said: "I think Count Shuvanov has this talent. Why don't you call him over to understand the situation?"

Alexander II thought for a while and felt that this was also a way. If Pobedonostsev and Duke Dolgoruky knew that he was very optimistic about Count Shuvanov, they might not be able to work as perfunctorily as before. .

He immediately said: "Call him immediately...please come here!"

Count Shuvanov actually had some guesses when he was called to the imperial study. Li Xiao's actions could be concealed from others but not from him.

Such a major action will definitely attract the attention of Alexander II, and there may be a secret mission entrusted to him.

Yes, when he walked into the imperial study room, he thought he was going to do dirty work again. But he was shocked when he understood what Alexander II meant.

When did the third part become like this? Can't Pobedonostsev and Prince Dolgoruky handle such a trivial matter?

To him, it was no secret who Li Xiao had arrested and what he wanted to do. After all, he had no intention of hiding anything when arresting people. He always acted openly and with clear reasons.

It can be said that as long as you inquire a little bit, you will know everything. It is not a difficult matter at all, okay?

Naturally, he had a desire to complain. He felt that Pobedonostsev and Prince Dolgoruky had lowered the capabilities of the staff in the third part.

He wanted to vomit on the spot, but after looking at Alexander II's face and Count Rostovtsev's eyes, he swallowed back what he wanted to say sensibly.

Some things should not be said carelessly, especially in the imperial study room, where every utterance may lead to a political enemy and ruthless suppression.

Count Shuvanov didn't want to stand out from Pobedonostsev and Prince Dolgoruky. Both of them were capable of making him miserable!

So he replied very restrainedly: "Your Majesty, I only understand a little bit about what happened suddenly... As far as I know, Archduke Andrei's reasons for arresting those people are quite sufficient. You can find it at Shuyuan www.zhaoshuyuan.com Those arrested are all suspected of duty-related crimes... I don’t think it’s appropriate to directly order their release, as this is likely to make things even more out of control.”

Although Count Shuvanov did not fully explain what he meant, Alexander II understood what he meant, that is, Li Xiao was indeed confident and was not arresting people randomly.

And that means things are in trouble. With so many people arrested in the Ministry of Justice, people must be panicking!

As long as Nikolai Milyutin continues to exert pressure, maybe those weaklings will really give in.

After thinking for a while, he ordered: "Invite Minih here!"

Why is it called Minih?

Alexander II mainly wanted to ask Minih how likely it was that the Ministry of Justice would be caught and exposed.

If the Ministry of Justice does get off the ground, things will be very troublesome! On the other hand, if Minih says that the Ministry of Justice is not afraid of fire, then he can consider taking tough measures against Li Xiao and let someone remember it for a long time!

"Your Majesty, all colleagues in the Ministry of Justice will naturally serve you wholeheartedly, but you also know that some legal issues can easily lead to completely different conclusions based solely on the provisions." How dare Minich say that his people are all clean, but he He couldn't clearly say that his people had problems, so he could only say in a roundabout way: "And those liberal elements are best at finding faults and finding faults in eggs. I can't imagine what means they will use to slander us."

Alexander II immediately felt dizzy. He knew very well what was going on with this kind of nonsense. Needless to say, there must be problems with the Ministry of Justice, and I'm afraid the problems are not small. Otherwise, how could Minih talk in so many twists and turns?

In other words, if Li Xiao catches the tail of the Ministry of Justice, he really can't do anything. This will be difficult to handle!
