Struggle in Russia - v3 Chapter 875 no need

After chatting for a while, the crowd dispersed when it was getting dark, and Li Xiao went to work in his carriage early in the morning.

The offices of the Third Department of St. Petersburg are located at the west end of the Neva River, not far from the Winter Palace, just in line with the status of its department.

A department like the Third Department of St. Petersburg would definitely not be able to compete with the Ministry of War, the Ministry of the Navy, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Ministry of Internal Affairs. Naturally, it had to avoid the most central urban area of ​​St. Petersburg. Of course, it can't be too far away. After all, they are the surveillance agencies in St. Petersburg. If one day the Tsar orders them to arrest people, it will take several hours to convey an order.

All in all, this distance must be properly adjusted, neither too far nor too close. This is also the norm in Russian officialdom. No matter what you do, you must be careful.

And this has also made the staff of St. Petersburg's third department, especially the heads of those departments, all of them, and they have all the right balance. Commands can be disobeyed or procrastinated.

Especially after Li Xiao took over, their sense of proportion was exquisite. Anyway, they will never take the initiative to do the things Li Xiao explained, but they will not stop doing them at all. They always have to let Li Xiao urge them again and again to urge them to do it reluctantly.

Anyway, according to this state, it is estimated that Li Xiao will not be able to work for two months, either because of exhaustion or because of anger. And this is exactly what this group of people wanted. After all, they all knew that Alexander II didn't want to see someone, and the newly appointed director of the third department didn't like someone either. Certainly can not be too enthusiastic about Li Xiao.

Especially when they found that Li Xiao seemed to have nothing to do with their foreign-grinding tactics, the joy and pride in their hearts were even more obvious. They felt that a silly bird like Li Xiao who came from other provinces was easy to bully, and did not understand the rules of St. Petersburg officialdom at all. and cruelty.

It's just that this smugness will come to an end this morning. Just now, these people received a surprising news that the newly appointed Minister of the Interior, Nikolai Milyuting, at last night's royal meeting, suddenly responded to the same new appointment. The director of the third department, Konditantin Pobedonostsev, was furious, accusing him of trampling on the dignity of the nobility recklessly, and setting up prisons for favoritism, demanding that he be reined in immediately!

To be honest, Alexander II was baffled by this sudden blow, because Konstantin Pobedonostsev only took office for a month. Moreover, the third part is never bound by the law and only obeys the dispatch of the tsar. It is not unusual to set up private prisons.

In the past 30 years, I haven't seen Nikolai Milyuting and other ministers of the interior have any opinions, so why did they suddenly run wild.

Alexander II thought that there was a misunderstanding, and he was going to mediate one or two. Who would have thought that he would be fine if he didn't speak, but as soon as he spoke, Nicholas Milutin became more and more energetic, and even more vigorously accused the third volume of blood debts.

Saying that the Third Office is beyond the judiciary, neither the Minister of the Interior nor the Minister of Justice can control their affairs. People are often arbitrarily arrested and punished privately because of some random things. In the long run, the legal dignity of the country has been trampled.

According to Nikolai Milyutin, if Russia wants to reform, it must first start the third operation, and they must not be allowed to do whatever they want!

Konstantin Pobedonostsev was stunned, as was Alexander II. In fact, many ministers who participated in this imperial conference were stunned. Because no one can figure out what happened to Nikolai Milyuting, why he suddenly turned into a mad dog and caught the third part and bit him. .

People who don't know what to do still think that this guy has a grudge against Konditantin Pobedonostsev, otherwise why would he rush to demolish the stage as soon as he came to power?

Of course, everyone was stunned for a while, and after being stunned for a while, the smart ones immediately wanted to understand the twists and turns, and the less smart ones didn't prevent them from watching the show, after all. It was the third part that was bitten. Neither conservatives nor reformers liked this department very much. Seeing that they were unlucky, it was schadenfreude.

Yes, most normal people in Russia don't like the third part, because this department is only responsible to the tsar and is the tsar's loyal dog. Regardless of whether conservatives or reformers are more or less wrong with the Tsar for some reason, they have been taught by the third book.

So, it's a pleasure to watch the third unlucky guy, and even wish the Tsar would abolish this department.

It's just that some people with clear minds began to worry, such as Count Uvarov. Although he is in a very embarrassed position, he immediately thought of a lot of things when he saw Konditantine Pobedonostsev's unfortunate luck~www.novelbuddy .com~ For example, what does Nikolai Milyutin want to do? He thinks that Nikolai Milyutin was not there for Konstantin Pobedonostsev, and it should not be a personal grudge. Instead, he pointed at the third volume. I am afraid he wanted to limit the power of the third volume, so that the third volume controlled by Konstantin Pobedonostsev would become a roadblock to his reform.

From this point of view, Count Uvarov will definitely help Konditantin Pobedonostsev, no, he is helping the third volume. After all, their conservatives are now controlling the third volume. It is an extremely important department that can restrict and even restrain the reformists, and the reformists must not be turned into trouble.

However, Count Uvarov also has Xiao Jiujiu in his heart, and he knows the root cause of his embarrassment during this time.

One emperor and one courtier, Alexander II prefers the courtier of the hidden residence and dislikes him, the elder of the three dynasties, and is thinking of ways to marginalize him. Do you think he can feel good about it?

Although for the sake of the overall situation, it is impossible for him to explicitly say that he is unhappy, and even openly confront Baryatinsky and Konstantin Pobedonostsev, he can still use silent means to fight injustice. One did.

Especially now, he reckoned that even if Nikolai Milyuting looked menacing, he might cut the third part into eight pieces. But as long as Alexander II has no pits in his mind, it is impossible to agree.

Therefore, even if the reformists are strong, Alexander II cannot make unrestricted concessions. The itch gives in, and then how about the third part.

Since there is no substantial damage in the third part, why should he be so active as a marginalized old man?
