【Struggle in Tsarist Russia】 【】

Remember in one second [3q Chinese website Www. 3qdu. com], read wonderful novels for free without pop-ups! Why did Alexander II hide in Gatchina?

Yes, you read that right, he just avoided it.

Our tsar is known for being both powerful and independent. He insisted on winning the battle in the higher court.

However, he was worried about the gossip from outsiders that his victory was obtained by trickery. In order to avoid criticism and appear to have not been involved, he deliberately "avoided suspicion" and hid in Gatchina.

To be honest, this is very Alexander II and very deceptive.

Do you think people won’t criticize you if you hide yourself?

Isn’t this coaxing ghosts?

But this is what he does, and he also likes to do this kind of tricks. If it were his father, Nicholas I, he would definitely not care about these things. Why criticize the king? It's against you, you scumbags! Kill them all!

Of course, killing them all is a bit exaggerated, but one cannot escape with a one-way ticket to Siberia.

It can only be said that the hypocritical methods of the father and son are different. Nicholas I is a domineering type, while Alexander II is a so-and-so type.

When Grand Duke Constantine found Alexander II, he was chatting with Count Rostovtsev and Count Kleinmicher. Now Alexander II trusted these two the most.

But what is interesting is that neither of these two are his confidants in the strict sense. These two are veterans of the "previous dynasty" and are the legacy left to him by Nicholas I.

And his real confidants should be Duke Baryatinsky, Pobedonostsev and Dmitry Milyutin, but at this moment he cannot get close to these three.

Duke Baryatinsky suffered a terrible disaster and was tricked by Alexander II. But no matter what, it is true that he failed to come in handy. For the emperor, no matter what the reason was for the minister to be unable to help him, it meant that the minister was incapable of doing anything.

A minister who is not capable is of no use to the king. Would you be close to a useless "friend"?

As for the reason why Pobedonostsev is not popular, it is even simpler. He is not "useless" but he does not share the same heart with the king. Would you share your joys and sorrows over wine with a disloyal person?

As for Dmitry Milyutin not appearing here, the reason is very complicated.

For Alexander II, he trusted Dmitri Milyutin and did not think his abilities were flawed. Who told him that he was Nikolai Milyutin's biological brother?

Although Dmitry Milyutin did not openly side with his brother in this turmoil, Alexander II could not believe Nikolai Milyutin's brother no matter what. Naturally, he was excluded.

As a result, the entire army of Alexander II's potential ministers was gone, and the only people he could trust were Count Kleinmicher and Count Rostovtsev.

Although these two people are not that close to him, they can at least be trusted, and at least he can tell them his true feelings.

What's more, these two people have one thing in common, that is, they talk very little and have a very strict mouth. There is no need to worry about what comes out of his mouth falling into the ears of the fourth person. It can be said that these two are his Mr. Tree Hole, specially used to store his complaints and dissatisfaction.

【Struggle in Tsarist Russia】 【】

Alexander II was pouring out his words there when the attendant told him that Grand Duke Constantine asked for an audience. His face suddenly fell: "Huh, he still has the nerve to do it. He is a fool who fails to succeed but fails to succeed!"

As he spoke, he turned to Count Rostovtsev and Count Kleinmicher and said: "I can be sure that he is here to ask for help this time. Except when something happens, he will think of me as his brother. At other times, he will think of me as his brother." I won’t be in his eyes at all!”

This was said so bluntly that it was almost heartbreaking. This made Count Kleinmicher feel a little restless under great pressure.

If possible, he really wanted to turn around and run away as far as possible, but obviously he couldn't leave now. After all, Alexander II was looking at them. From the expression of the Supreme, it was obvious that he hoped he could say something about this.

What to say?

It's nothing more than either supporting him or criticizing Grand Duke Constantine. In short, he must take a stand.

But the problem is, how can it be so easy to take a stand?

Count Kleinmicher has been in the court for so many years, and the most profound thing he feels is that royal affairs are very troublesome, and you have to pay attention to propriety when flattering the Tsar. It may be fun to flatter him for a while, but it is very likely that the whole family will have to be sent to the crematorium in the future.

The secret to his success for so many years is to speak less and express his stance. If you can, don't interfere blindly. Even if you have to express your stance, you have to do it in a tight manner.

For example, in the matter at hand, he could certainly agree with Alexander II to severely slander and criticize Grand Duke Constantine. Alexander II would definitely be happy to do so, but the problem is that as the old saying goes, estrangement does not make people close.

After all, they are brothers, and he is an outsider. If the two brothers reconcile in the future, it will definitely be him, an outsider, who cannot take advantage of them!

What? You said the two brothers can't reconcile?

not necessarily! Count Kleinmicher has seen too many similar situations, and in the end the unlucky ones were outsiders who got involved.

Naturally, he never wants to seek death, but now Alexander II can't get through it without saying anything. A minister like him who lives his life relying on the emperor's favor will not be far away from death if he loses his favor!

You can imagine how entangled Count Kleinmicher was. On the one hand, he was thinking of countermeasures, but on the other hand, he was a little curious: he wanted to know what Count Rostovtsev would do?

Count Rostovtsev showed no sign of nervousness or uneasiness at all. He sat there calmly and listened quietly to Alexander II's speech, as professional, calm and gentle as an inscrutable psychiatrist. light.

This impressed Count Kleinmicher. He could not do this no matter what. At this moment, he felt as if he were sitting on a red-hot iron plate. It was called restless!

Count Rostovtsev spoke naturally: "Your Majesty, although His Excellency Grand Duke Constantine has made some mistakes, he is your brother in any case, and you have the responsibility and obligation to help him get through it. Difficulty... not to mention that the problem now is not just his problem. I think you should invite him in and listen to his intentions first!"

Alexander II didn't say anything. He didn't know whether he was considering this suggestion or was dissatisfied with it. Anyway, Count Kleinmicher, an "outsider", was worried about Count Rostovtsev. sweat!

For a long time, Alexander II ignored Count Rostovtsev and asked Count Kleinmicher: "Count, what about you? What do you think I should do?"
