The news that Nicholas I, who had been under the pressure of liberals and reformists for nearly thirty years, is about to die, is naturally insatiable. You can imagine how many liberals and reformers would be as excited as old Igor after hearing this news.

This impatience is understandable, but not acceptable to Count Rostovtsev. He has been busy for thirty years until today, and he will definitely not allow the impetuousness of some dispassionate people to spoil his good deeds.

So how to solve these nasty bad behaviors?

Count Rostovtsev believes that the only way to be tougher is to insist on his own opinions and not make any concessions, and when necessary, he can be an example to others!

He only cares about the overall situation. Anyway, Russia has already killed a lot of people because of the reform, and it is acceptable to die more. If the death of a small number of people can control the overall situation, he is willing to bear the price.

This is the reason why he is tough on old friends like old Igor. He knows that the more critical moments are, the more he must stand firm, and he must not be implicated by a group of pig teammates. After all, the lessons for the Decembrists are there!

Sure enough, his toughness played a role. After finding that his oil and salt were not in, old Igor's attitude softened. Probably old Igor also knew that if he didn't follow Count Rostovtsev's plan, he wanted to Seizing power is impossible.

And now the most important thing is to seize power. As long as the tyranny of Nicholas I can be destroyed, there is hope. Otherwise, everything is empty talk.

"Okay, you won!" Old Igor sighed and said sullenly: "The issue of benefit distribution can be discussed later, but now you must give me a thorough understanding of what to do next!"

Count Rostovtsev looked at him coldly, convinced that old Igor was being honest, and then replied: "I don't need anything now, just wait quietly. Take death!"

Old Igor frowned and said, "Just waiting? Is this too passive?"

Count Rostovtsev took a breath and replied solemnly: "Trust me, I have observed that person for almost thirty years, and all his actions can't hide from my eyes, now is the most dangerous time, it is better to move Quiet!"

Old Igor opened his mouth but said nothing in the end, because he knew Count Rostovtsev's temper, and he wouldn't speak if he didn't want to say that you put a gun to his forehead.

It's just that his curiosity couldn't be contained, and in the end he couldn't help but quietly ask: "What do you think that guy will do?"

Count Rostovtsev snorted contemptuously: "Now he is probably telling Crown Prince Alexander in the imperial study of the Winter Palace that to rule this country with an iron fist, we must firmly grasp authority, especially the army, absolutely. No dissenters can be tolerated."

Old Igor snorted, this is like the style of Nicholas I, that is, a control freak who will not let go of his authority or give up his suffocating rule until he dies.

"And then what?" he continued.

"Then?" Count Rostovtsev snorted and replied with squinted eyes: "Then he will let Crown Prince Alexander go out and say goodbye to his family one by one..."

Old Igor was stunned, because he felt that with the personality of Nicholas I, the last and most crucial moment, he had to teach a few more words, otherwise the weak personality of the crown prince might not be able to hold that position. .

Didn't he always take the trouble to educate Crown Prince Alexander when he was alive? Why did you let go when it was critical?

It's just that Count Rostovtsev was right. The situation in the Winter Palace was almost exactly what he described. After the increasingly weak Nicholas I sent Crown Prince Alexander, he immediately called his queen and others. Family, he blessed these people one by one, and took the hand of his favorite daughter-in-law Masha and said to the queen: "Take care of Masha, let her be a good wife and a good queen like you!"

After blessing everyone, he stared straight at them and said, "Remember what I always say: be friends!"

At this time, Nicholas I had almost run out of oil lamps, and at this time, the empress with tears in her eyes gently walked to his side and whispered: "Yalya Baranova, Ikotrina Zenggason , and Flinka Neridovna..."

Queen Alexandra said almost all the names of the female officials in the Winter Palace, most of which were actually confidantes of Nicholas I.

"They all want to say goodbye to you..."

Nicholas I took a deep breath, then opened his lips with difficulty and replied: "No, my dears, I will not see them again, tell them I ask for their forgiveness, I pray for them... tell them, UU reading www.uukanshu.com Please pray for me."

After saying this, Nicholas I seemed to have exhausted all his energy. He grinned and lay on the camp bed, panting heavily, before saying to Queen Alexandra after a while: "My dear, please Leave me alone for a while and get ready for the final moments!"

After learning that Nicholas I would not see any outsiders, his confidantes began to feel restless. Years later, Anna Chucheva, the maid, recalled that many mistresses walked up and down the palace corridors uneasy. They were either mourning or panicking. Flinka Nelidovna clenched her fists and kept waving her hands, muttering in a low voice, "What a beautiful night! What a beautiful night!"

The poor woman had lost her mind and probably didn't even know what she was talking about.

In the imperial study, Nicholas I gasped loudly and asked Dr. Mante impatiently, "Will this annoying music continue for a long time?"

Mante hung his head and told him it wouldn't be long.

The priests began to use the cross to bless the tsar who was hammered to death. After the fellowship, Nicholas I raised his hand and drew a cross to the roof and said, "Lord! Accept me calmly!" Gasping for the last time, he said to Queen Alexandra: "From the moment I saw you until the last moment, you have been my guardian angel!"

After he finished speaking, his hand fell under the bed, and the heavy breathing came to an end. The conservative and reactionary tsar who had ruled Russia for nearly 30 years finally died.

Although he has obtained permanent peace, the mess he left behind is troublesome. For Alexander II, who was not prepared at all, he felt that everything was so sudden and unfamiliar, and he was at a loss...
