Struggle in Russia - v3 Chapter 831 Smart is mistaken by smart

Smart but misunderstood by smart is Viscount Prozolov. He thinks he is smart and counts everything to death, but he never thought that the most important thing in this world is smart people. He is smart But there are people who are smarter and more low-key than him.

He felt that the Archduke Constantine had only one way to go, and that was to try to stir up the water, but he never thought about the consequences of stirring the water at this time.

It may also be that he knew that there would be bad consequences, but thought that Archduke Constantine had offended and killed Alexander II and the conservatives anyway.

He is completely a gambler's mentality. Anyway, for him, Archduke Constantine has won, and he is the biggest contributor. As for losing the fight, he is just a staff member, and he will not be implicated particularly badly. It's a big deal to change another boss!

To put it bluntly, he just sacrificed Archduke Constantine. A strategist like him is obviously unqualified. If they are all like him, then the world is not in chaos.

Fortunately, the hesitant character of the Archduke Constantine helped him, and his hesitation allowed him to avoid being the first to be hit by Alexander II, and he escaped the disaster.

He escaped the catastrophe, but some people can't escape, and they are rushing to find abuse!

This person is Count Uvarov.

The moment the Archduke Constantine returned to St. Petersburg, he was even more impatient, especially after hearing the Archduke Constantine jumping up and down to make tandems.

"We can't wait any longer, it will change!" Count Uvarov said firmly, "Tomorrow we will speak to His Majesty again, and we must eradicate these chaotic ministers and thieves who are messing up the country!"

Under the initiative of Count Uvarov, the conservatives gathered in groups, and the next morning rushed to the gate of the Hermitage in groups, demanding an audience with Alexander II.

"Really?"

Alexander II walked to the window sill and glanced at the bustling crowd below and couldn't help sneering.

Turning his head, he said to Duke Oldov: "Count Uvarov is in series, right?"

"Yes, Your Majesty. Count Uvarov has been in contact with various forces for the past few days. According to the information I have, they have great plans!"

A cold light flashed in Alexander II's eyes, and he murmured, "How big is the picture?": 筚quge

After pondering for a while, he suddenly asked, "Duke, what do you think should be done?"

Duke Oldov did not expect that Alexander II would ask such a question, because he was already accustomed to the dogmatism of Nicholas I's time, and the late emperor never had the habit of asking outsiders, like Count Uvarov. This kind of behavior is really courting death, and it must be eliminated soon!

But he didn't answer that, because after all, this is the post-Nicholas I era, and it is about to move towards the era of Alexander II. The tsar's character is not as strong as his father's, nor so assertive.

Speaking from the bottom of his heart, Duke Oldolf felt that it would be easier to serve the tsars who were not so strong. If he suggested that Alexander II start a killing spree and create another Nicholas II, wouldn't he be asking for his own guilt?

Of course, he was not stupid enough to tell Alexander II to treat his opponents leniently. First of all, Count Uvarov's behavior was too extreme. It would be unreasonable to let Alexander II tolerate it. Wasn't that intentionally making Alexander II uncomfortable?

And from the point of view of interests, Duke Oldov can't tolerate Count Uvarov continuing to control everything. It's time to change the dynasty and let Count Uvarov get out of the way. This old thing has already occupied too many resources and monopolized too many interests. , we can only eat meat after breaking him!

However, he was a little uncertain about the attitude of Alexander II. From the previous situation, he was still unwilling to make a big disturbance to maintain the status quo. At this time, if he was advised to deal with Count Uvarov, it would obviously not suit him. purpose.

Moreover, judging from the situation in the past few decades, this His Majesty's tendency is still relatively conservative. At this time, urging him to shout and kill the leader of the conservative faction is easy to be misunderstood as a reformer!

After thinking about it again and again, Duke Oldolf decided to seek stability first and not die.

He bowed and replied, "Your Majesty, although I think Count Uvarov's behavior is outrageous and intolerable, but from the overall situation, dealing with him immediately is likely to cause trouble. From the perspective of maintaining stability, it is not advisable to move too much!"

King Alexander II glanced at Duke Oldorf, although he did not express his position, it could be seen that he was quite satisfied with this answer. He felt that it was no wonder that his father was able to hand over the third volume to Duke Oldorf for so many years. Humans are still generally capable.

He nodded slightly and said, "Then how do you think it will end now?"

Duke Oldov replied: "Disperse them and let the Preobrazhensky regiment enter!"

Alexander II was taken aback for a moment, because this answer was a bit strange. According to what Duke Aldorf just said, it must be handled in a low-key manner, but it is not low-key to let the army enter the field, right?

"Don't move too much doesn't mean you don't do anything!" Duke Oldov replied loudly, "If everyone is like Count Uvarov and thinks that you can make concessions, then this kind of thing will become more and more in the future. A lot! So they must be given a clear warning, dispatching the army can have a good deterrent effect and let them know what can and cannot be done!"

Having said this, he suddenly said in a slow tone: "And dispatching the army does not mean expanding the situation~www.novelbuddy.com~ Catch a few innocuous people and deal with it, killing chickens and showing monkeys is enough!"

Only then did Alexander II show a satisfied smile, and said to Duke Oldolf with a pleasant face: "Very good, Duke! I will leave this matter to you. I don't want to see things get out of hand!"

The Duke of Oldov took a breath and immediately bowed, and then he respectfully left the royal study... Ten minutes later, the soldiers of the Preobrazhensky regiment were assembled, with bayonets on their guns, and headed for the winter majestically. On the square at the gate of the palace.

"Gentlemen, His Majesty wishes you to leave voluntarily. At this time of national grief, he really does not wish for any other bloodshed!"

"I'll give you five minutes to leave on your own, after which anyone who refuses to leave will be punished with disobedience!"

The Duke of Oldolf rode on a high-headed horse and looked at the world with the aura of looking at the old and young in front of him. There were no less than ten dukes, twenty marquis, and even more counts and viscounts.

In the past, these people were the very top of the empire's power pyramid, but he knew that from today onwards, these guys would fall down at least one or two levels...
