After hearing the news of the assassination of Duke Alexander, the old fox Nesselrode immediately realized that something was wrong. Who made him a human being! In fact, before sending a bunch of hind legs to make trouble with Duke Alexander, it was with the intention of provoking Duke Alexander on purpose.

As long as Duke Alexander couldn't hold back his anger and took action to deal with those bastards, whether he directly used his authority to teach them a lesson, or secretly used conspiracy to cut them off, Nesselrode would be very happy.

The reason is very simple. Russia is the country of the tsar alone. Whoever can make a fortune, get promoted and get rich depends on the tsar's own preferences. As long as Duke Alexander couldn't help but take action to clean up those dog legs, it would be tantamount to directly disobeying Nicholas I.

Offended the emperor, lost his favor, how can he mess with officialdom?

Nesselrode's mind was vicious, especially when he heard the news that several dog legs had died one after another, he was even more overjoyed. Duke Alexander can be abolished with a few trash, this deal is really a bargain!

But when Duke Alexander was also assassinated, the situation was quite different. In an instant, Duke Alexander cleared all doubts. Even if he made a small report to Nicholas I, it would be useless. It would mean that he had died in vain, and the situation in Austria would go out of control again. changed.

What's worse is that Nesselrode knew Nicholas I's temper very well. He died three dog legs before. The tsar would definitely be highly suspicious of Duke Alexander, but after Duke Alexander was also assassinated, this suspicion disappeared. . Instead, he was deeply angry. With his face-saving personality, he would definitely blame Austria. He would think that it was Austria's incompetence that caused his diplomats to encounter accidents one after another.

"This little fox is too cunning!"

This is what Nesselrode said to the Austrian ambassador before coming to the Winter Palace, which shows how angry he is now.

Indeed, he was only one step away from putting his most hated opponent to death, but he turned the situation upside down with just one move, making him change from absolute initiative to absolute passivity, which can be said to be full All lose.

He has been in politics for so many years, and he has always turned his hands into clouds and rain. When will it be his turn to make arrangements for him clearly!

Anger is inevitable, but Nesselrode is not dizzy with anger. The reason why he has been able to occupy the position of Prime Minister for more than 20 years is that his greatest advantage is to maintain absolute calm no matter what the situation is.

When something happens, we must find a way to solve it. What's the use of sulking? Nesselrode is clear-headed,

The first time he realized that this was Duke Alexander's bitter trick, needless to say, this was all a well-arranged routine.

"Then you should expose his conspiracy!"

Looking at the Austrian ambassador who was filled with righteous indignation, Nesselrode sighed in his heart: "The brain is a good thing, but the problem is that many people carry a head, but there is no brain inside!"

Nesselrode knows that the most important thing now is not to expose any conspiracy, because Nicholas I will not believe it at all. If you tell him at this time that it is a bitter trick of Duke Alexander, and it is all his conspiracy, then he will not say a word. I can't listen to it, but think that you are deliberately slandering and defending Austria's incompetence on purpose.

In this way, everything is finished. So the correct approach is to pretend that you don't know anything, pretend to be as outraged as Nicholas I, and pretend to stand in a trench with him, fooling him into handing over the power to solve the problem.

As long as you get the initiative to solve the problem, things will be easy to handle. In the end, whether it was investigating the truth of the matter or properly arranging the aftermath, Nesselrode had the final say. At that time, for Austria, it was to lift the board heavily and then put it down gently, and for Duke Alexander, it was superficially comforting, but it is also possible to have a secret ups and downs!

Have you seen it? This is the true level of old political hooligans. They can fight and change from passive to active without knowing it.

However, Nesselrode's plan is very good, but not all the actors listen to his director's arrangements, especially the biggest protagonist Nicholas I is a bully!

Regarding Nesselrode's suggestion, Nicholas I just hummed lightly: "That's all?"

Nesselrode could naturally hear Nicholas I's dissatisfaction, and felt even more bitter in his heart: "I still underestimated His Majesty's anger on this matter, and that's right, a face-saving person like him will definitely not let it go! "

So he hurriedly said again: "This is only one aspect. On the other hand, the Austrian side must be ordered to capture and punish the murderer as soon as possible. In view of the chaotic situation in Austria and the vigorous action, I think our country can send some capable people to assist and supervise them. Solve the case as soon as possible!"

Nicholas I's face looked better now, but he still replied indifferently: "This suggestion is good, then the Prime Minister will communicate with the Austrian side, and make sure they agree to our terms!"

Nesselrode murmured in his heart, because he didn't want this result, and now Nicholas I just gave him a hard job, just asking him to put pressure on Austria to make Austria agree to that somewhat humiliating condition . But the most important power of how to investigate the truth of the case was not given to him, which was completely beyond his expectation!

Hesitating again and again, Nesselrode still suggested: "Your Majesty, in view of the seriousness of this matter and its international influence, I think it is more appropriate for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to take responsibility for it. After all, this matter is too sensitive and should be handled by other departments. On the one hand, it is difficult to communicate with the Austrian side, and on the other hand, some incidents may arise due to ignorance of diplomatic practices, which will damage the friendly relationship between the two countries. It is better to be more cautious at this time!"

Who would have thought that Nicholas I would give him a hard look, and said angrily: "Is it us who destroy the friendly relations between the two countries? If the Austrians pay more attention to the case, our diplomats will be assassinated one after another. No murderer? Now even our ambassador has encountered an accident, but it took them ten minutes to arrive late, there is a little bit of friendliness in it!"

Nesselrode broke out in cold sweat immediately, and only then did he realize that Nicholas I's anger was beyond imagination. Now the czar's stubborn, awkward and face-saving personality has swelled to the extreme. If you can't satisfy him, you can't let him He calmed down, that official hat was probably worn to the end today!
