, the fastest update to the latest chapter of Struggle in Tsarist Russia!

It took a full hour for Count Uvarov to be invited into the royal study. This was unimaginable in the era of Nicholas I. You must know that when Count Uvarov saw Nicholas I, it was as simple as visiting his own backyard, or at least saying hello.

But now it's hanging there as a bench, and everyone who sees it feels embarrassed.

Count Uvarov is unhappy, that's for sure, but he still has the most basic political savvy. He knows that the more he sits on the bench, the less he can show his unhappiness, but if he shows a little dissatisfaction, he will probably have to do it in the future. Wear a cold bench.

With full humility and respect for Count Uvarov, he pretended to enter the royal study room.

He often came to this small study in the days of Nicholas I, and it can be said that he knew every brick and tile here.

But today he walked into this small room again and found that the earth-shaking changes had taken place inside.

The traces of the Nicholas I era have been almost wiped out, and those plain tables and chairs have been replaced by luxurious French-style precious furniture, the only thing that remains is the small camp bed.

It's just that it was left not because Alexander II also slept here like his father, but as some kind of historical relic or educational tool.

Maybe after a few years, the descendants of the Romanov family can proudly show this camp bed to the outside world and tell people how simple and unpretentious Nicholas I was and how devoted he was to the affairs of the country.

Such a hard-working and good emperor is not worthy of being remembered forever, not worthy of praise for a hundred years?

Anyway, Alexander II will never sleep in this bed, he has no interest in being an ascetic, so he will not treat himself harshly!

"Count, is there any urgent business for such a sudden request for an audience?"

Count Uvarov looked at Alexander II, who was sitting behind the desk without even moving his butt, not to mention what he felt in his heart.

Do you think that when he came to Nicholas I in those days, he was not waiting for him? When did you not meet at the door in person?

But look at the current attitude of Alexander II, he didn't take him seriously at all. If you were like this back then, then Count Uvarov would have to give you eye drops in front of Nicholas I. .

Especially when he remembered that when Alexander II was still the crown prince, he didn't help to say good things when he stabbed him, okay! Now that you're on the throne, forget it all, right?

Count Uvarov was full of opinions, but he didn't dare to show the slightest bit. This old fox pretended to be very humble, so low-key to the extreme, like a pug that pleases his master!

"Your Majesty, the main purpose of my visit here is to resign to you."

Alexander II looked at Count Uvarov in surprise. Before the old fox entered the door, he had all kinds of guesses, but he never guessed that this was coming to resign.

But he really doesn't really believe that this man will resign voluntarily, because no matter how he looks at him, he is a person who is nostalgic for power, how could he let go so easily.

After thinking for a while, Alexander II pretended to be surprised and asked: "Count, where did you start your resignation? I didn't hear that there was a problem with your work?"

Count Uvarov curled his lips in his heart, feeling more and more that Alexander II was a coward. Look at what he said, it made him seem to have resigned or absconded in fear of the crime.

Can't you comfort an old minister like him, say something warm, at least keep it a little bit!

He could only suppress his dissatisfaction and slander, and replied respectfully: "Your Majesty, I just feel that I'm getting older and more and more incapable of doing many jobs. When the late emperor was here, I wanted to resign and retire, but the late emperor always Retaining... Now that the late emperor has left, I am getting more and more old, and I can't continue to serve the country if I think about it, so I might as well retire for the elderly."

Count Uvarov replied while gently wiping the tears that did not exist. That look was really unbearable, and it seemed that it was inhumane not to hold back.

If it was Crown Prince Alexander, he would have already started to retain it at this time. But Alexander is now the tsar. Although he has not been on the throne for a long time, sitting in this position is a kind of exercise. In the past few months, his level has been rising steadily, so facing Count Uvarov's warm tactic He can still stop it!

He smiled lightly and said: "So that's the case, I said, why did you suddenly leave St. Petersburg and go to the country, Count. Before, I thought that something was wrong, which made you dissatisfied with the count. It turns out that you are sick. Do you want to? Send a royal doctor to treat you?"

Count Uvarov felt a panic in his heart. He just wanted to retreat just now. He felt that no matter what he said, Alexander II would be comforted. Who would have thought that this guy would play cards out of common sense, and he would be completely out of temper.

Alexander II refused to take the initiative to keep him, which made Count Uvarov's wishful thinking in vain. Before he came, his idea was that as long as his attitude was low enough, he would not be able to sell the miserable Alexander II. No matter what, he would be able to get over this hurdle after half-push and half-assault.

But now, no matter how he plays Alexander II, he doesn't get the hang of it. He really doesn't have a word of retention. This is forcing him to leave!

For a moment, Count Uvarov really wanted to stand up and walk away with a crown~www.novelbuddy.com~, but this impulse came and went quickly, and he immediately dismissed this unemotional thought.

How could an old fox like him be willing to be in power? If you let him put down everything and leave, it would be better to kill him with one knife!

He is so attached to power that he refuses to leave! Even if the actions of Alexander II are so chilling, he is determined not to move his ass!

Count Uvarov quickly replied: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness, which makes me deeply grateful, but I also know that the country is at a critical moment. Although I am old, it doesn't matter if I risk my life for the country. of!"

Alexander II smiled contemptuously. Sure enough, Count Uvarov refused to leave. He could see through these old guys. All of them said that they were loyal and patriotic and willing to smash their bones to pieces for their father. They are all shrewd, and the disadvantage is that they don't touch them at all. If you want to hold them, you can't be too polite, and it's even more impossible for them to take the rhythm away!

No wonder his father repeatedly taught him to hold power tightly in his hands before he died, and he must not trust anyone, because as long as he sat in this position, no one would be able to trust him!
