Struggle in Russia

Chapter 833 The art of checks and balances

Count Uvarov's eggs have shrunk, and everyone within the conservatives is in constant panic. Especially the relatives of the arrested conservatives are as anxious as ants on a hot pot. They don't know what happened. They all rushed to Count Uvarov's mansion, hoping that the boss would give an explanation.

But Count Uvarov shrunk so completely that he initially received a few weeping dukes and marquises. Later, when he saw that there were too many people, he simply hid in the manor in the countryside without seeing anyone, using his no-war card.

As a result, the conservatives were naturally even more panicked. They all thought it was over this time. Otherwise, how could Count Uvarov be so "low-key"?

In a short time, most of the conservatives' hearts were dispersed, and most of Count Uvarov's reputation accumulated over the years was destroyed.

So that old fox doesn't feel bad? Don’t you feel a pity?

The distress is natural, and the reluctance is real, but Count Uvarov is indeed an old fox. He keenly grasps the danger signals and knows that if he stays in St. Petersburg to take charge of the overall situation, the conservatives may be more stable, but the situation There will be no fundamental improvement.

He knew that he had lost all initiative since Alexander II decided to arrest everyone. Even though he was the leader of the conservatives, he knew that he had no way to fight against the imperial power. As long as the Tsar was willing, he could crush them into powder in minutes.

Alexander II has already made clear his attitude through arrests, that is, no one can challenge his authority!

Count Uvarov knew very well the consequences of provoking the authority of the Tsar. Look at the Decembrists who were beaten to a pulp in the era of Nicholas I. That is a lesson learned from the past!

As an old fox who has matured, he will naturally not make fun of his own wealth and life, not to mention that he still expects Alexander II to continue to follow the path of Nicholas I. How can he go against Alexander II?

Unless Alexander II was determined to carry out reforms, he would never openly confront him!

And this time he vaguely felt something was wrong. He felt that he was in danger and might capsize!

Yes, Count Uvarov finally came to his senses. He felt as if he had done something stupid, as if it was stupid and dangerous to encourage everyone to go to the Winter Palace!

Of course, this is a vague feeling, a reflection of his many years of political experience, because he himself does not think there is anything wrong with doing so. At most, he feels it is a bit rash or even risky.

However, he is a good person. After he noticed this mistake, he immediately knew that if he allowed those dukes and marquises to visit him and allowed those party members to operate in his home, he would likely add fuel to the fire!

Now Alexander II is in trouble, and may even be looking for the mastermind behind the scenes. If he allows the above situation, wouldn't he admit that he is the mastermind behind the scenes?

Of course, he is indeed the mastermind behind the scenes, but this can only be done and must not be admitted. No matter which tsar is, what he hates most is that his ministers form cliques, and he is not convinced that he has formed cliques and has no power. Small?

After understanding this, Count Uvarov really couldn't sleep well, so he immediately packed up and ran away.

For him, saving his life and wealth is the first priority. As for the conservatives, haha, maybe his being the boss did deal a critical blow to this faction, but with the conservatives' strong influence and deep roots, it is impossible for them to be affected by this. The storm struck down.

As long as he gets over this period of time and waits for this limelight, he can get a hundred responses when he goes back to raise his arms. At most, he can do more work to calm people's hearts!

Anyway, he was not in a hurry and felt that no matter how big the storm was, it would not be a big deal. Even if the worst happens and he is forced to step down and retire, won't the conservatives still have Baryatinsky and his group?

With them, the conservatives will not collapse!

Of course, that's the worst case scenario,

He wouldn't go to that step unless he had to.

"Is he really hiding in the countryside?"

Alexander II was very surprised after hearing Duke Ordolph's report. Of course he knew how powerful the conservative forces were. The bunch of dukes and marquises in the morning were no joke. He originally thought that the resistance of this group of people would be more intense, but now it seems that there is only so little resistance?

This made him re-examine the power in his hands, and he realized how powerful his power was. Even a giant like Count Uvarov can only stay away, so who else in Russia can oppose him?

He was overjoyed for a moment, but he soon realized - Count Uvarov is really quite powerful!

Look at how he can easily recruit such a bunch of princes to support him. Yes, this time they were wiped out under his decisive blow, but who can guarantee that there won’t be a next time? What if next time their tough tactics will be even more severe? How about intense?

Especially when he knew that after what happened, a large number of conservative nobles all went to Count Uvarov, which made him feel deeply worried!

You know, although he arrested people, he did not say how to deal with them. It stands to reason that in order to survive, shouldn't these people be more proactive in kneeling down and licking themselves, the tsar?

But why didn't these people come to him instead of swarming to find Count Uvarov, as if he was the only one who could control the life and death of these guys!

This discovery made Alexander II very unhappy and felt that his authority had been greatly challenged. This shows that Count Uvarov is more authoritative than him in the eyes of those guys. Who has the final say in Russia in the long run?

Naturally, he disliked and feared Count Uvarov even more, but he could not express this emotion directly in front of Duke Ordorf, so he just pretended to smile calmly and said:

"Invite Count Rostovtsev here, I have something to ask him!"

The fear of Count Uvarov made Alexander II more and more cautious. He believed that Count Uvarov's authority must be destroyed and his main influence must be cut off, otherwise he would not be able to sleep well!

To do this, according to Nicholas I's final instructions to him, in addition to being more powerful and establishing authority, more importantly, he had to invite Count Rostovtsev to come over. On the one hand, he wanted to ask for advice. On the other hand, he also deliberately established his prestige.

He remembered that Nicholas I told him that Count Rostovtsev had conflicts with Count Uvarov, and that Count Rostovtsev was less powerful than Count Uvarov, so he could be used to temporarily balance Uvarov. Count Varov and his gang!

"Brother Shen!"

"Um!"

When Shen Changqing walks on the road, whenever he meets someone he knows, he will say hello or nod to each other.

But no matter who it is.

There was no unnecessary expression on everyone's face, as if they were indifferent to everything.

To this.

Shen Changqing has become accustomed to it.

Because this is the Demon Suppression Division, an organization that maintains the stability of the Qin Dynasty. The main responsibility of uu Kanshu is to kill monsters and monsters. Of course, there are also some other side jobs.

It can be said.

Everyone in the Demon Suppression Division has a lot of blood on their hands.

When a person is used to seeing life and death, he will become indifferent to many things.

When he first came to this world, Shen Changqing was a little uncomfortable, but he got used to it over time.

The Demon-Suppressing Division is huge.

Those who can stay in the Demon Suppressing Division are all powerful masters, or those who have the potential to become masters.

Shen Changqing belongs to the latter.

Among them, the Demon Suppressor Division is divided into two professions, one is the Guardian Envoy and the other is the Demon Slayer.

Anyone who enters the Demon Suppression Department starts from the lowest level as a demon slayer.

Then he will be promoted step by step, and he is expected to eventually become a guardian envoy.

Shen Changqing's predecessor was a trainee demon slayer in the Demon Suppression Department, and he was also the lowest level among the demon slayers.

Possessing the memory of a previous life.

He is also very familiar with the environment of the Demon Suppression Division.

It didn't take long for Shen Changqing to stop in front of a loft.

Unlike other places in the Demon Suppressing Division that were full of chills, the attic here seemed to stand out from the crowd, showing a different kind of tranquility in the bloody Demon Suppressing Division.

At this time, the attic door was open, and occasionally people came in and out.

Shen Changqing only hesitated for a moment before stepping in.

Enter the attic.

The environment changes in vain.

The fragrance of ink mixed with the faint smell of blood hit his face, making him frown instinctively, but then relaxed it quickly.

There is almost no way to cleanse away the smell of blood on everyone in the Demon-Suppressing Division.
