Struggle in Russia - v3 Chapter 878 dumbfounded (3)

Alexander II did not speak any more, because he knew that it was useless to say anything, unless he could quell the gang of ministers by opening his mouth like his authoritarian father, or he would be useless to object.

Because when he looked at the Minister of Justice, the old guy did not hide anything. He expressed his clearest wishes bluntly. This man also wanted to restrict the third volume. Obviously, the Ministry of Justice has long been dissatisfied with the third volume. Now, with this reasonable excuse to take back the authority that originally belonged to them from the third part, why not do it?

After understanding this, Alexander II was too lazy to seek the opinion of the Minister of Justice, because it was self-indulgent to ask, and instead he took what Nicholas Milutin said.

Just let Alexander II swallow this breath and tacitly agree that the authority of the third volume is limited. He is definitely not willing, and his eyes roll to his mind: "Count Uvarov, do you think the Minister of the Interior's opinion is appropriate?"

Yes, Alexander II thought of the old fox, Count Uvarov. He knew that the reason why the old fox did not express his opinion was not because he did not care about the third part. He knew that the old fox did care about it, but it was only a while ago. I didn't give him face too much, which made him have a rebellious mentality, so I deliberately pretended to be stupid and didn't speak to embarrass him.

For Alexander II, if you don't speak, you really can't speak? Impossible not, Lao Tzu is the tsar, Lao Tzu asks you personally to let you speak, and if you have the ability, you can pretend to be deaf and dumb!

Count Uvarov really didn't pretend to be deaf. After all, the ball had already been kicked at his feet. If he really didn't say anything, it would be a loss. Maybe no one would listen to him if he wanted to talk in the future.

So he spoke: "Your Majesty, some situations in the third part are really not satisfactory, and we really need to make changes!"

Well, Alexander II did not spit blood. He looked at Count Uvarov in astonishment, wondering if someone was impersonating. Because those words just now didn't look like the earl's style. Isn't he incompatible with the reformers?

Now that the reformists are all on the doorstep, he can't resist, doesn't speak, and even helps to dig up his own people's corners, this is not a hell!

Alexander II was stunned and asked, "Are you sure? Count!"

Count Uvarov nodded calmly and said: "I am very sure, I think the third part really needs to be changed, and now is the most suitable time, I think the Ministry of Justice, the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the Ministry of National Education will come forward together. It's best to help them solve these problems!"

Alexander II took a deep breath. He finally understood why Count Uvarov agreed with this matter. Look at what he said. He, the Minister of National Education, wants to join in and get a piece of the pie!

Yes, for Count Uvarov to limit the power of the third department is indeed bad for the conservatives, but it can be turned into a good one. As long as he, the Minister of National Education, can go in and get a piece of the pie, it is not a good idea. The reformist youth forces headed by Baryatinsky and Pobedonostsev are attacking head-on, consolidating their precarious position by the way!

How could he miss such a big good thing, anyway, it was Baryatinsky's group who lost a few cents to him?

This time, Alexander II was forced to a corner, because Count Uvarov agreed, and with his agreement, there was another vote of the conservatives who waited and saw at the Imperial Council immediately changed their positions. It is conceivable that it would be difficult to prevent this proposal. How big is it!

But Alexander II still didn't give up, he turned to ask Nikolai Milyutin: "What's your opinion? The Minister of National Education also wants to join, do you agree?"

There was only one thought left in Alexander II's mind, and that was that he didn't believe that Nikolai Milyutin would be complicit with Count Uvarov. Count Uvarov was indeed a shrewd man who took advantage of the opportunity to benefit himself. It's impossible for an anti-conservative reformist bigwig like Gula Milutin to put down his body and be in tune with him, right?

It can only be said that Alexander II is still a little too tender, and the problem is too simple. There are only eternal interests in this world and there is no eternal hatred. As long as the interests are in the same direction, all reformers and conservatives will wear a pair of pants. .

Although the current situation has not reached this level, Nikolai Milyutin will not object to working with Count Uvarov in the face of a third installment that may be rearmed and relied upon by Alexander II against them. .

Sure enough, he answered very firmly: "I think this is very feasible, and it would be great to have the Earl join us to help us solve the problem of the third part!"

It has already been said that King Alexander II has no choice but to oppose it. Nikolai Milyutin’s insistence alone is enough for him to have a headache. Besides, there is a fight between the Ministry of Justice and Count Uvarov. This matter Basically, he can't run away.

But Alexander II was unhappy in his heart. He hated the feeling of being overridden by his ministers. If this group of people followed suit after this bad start, would he still be a tsar?

So he didn't make a sound~www.novelbuddy.com~, but sat there with a calm face and stared at Nikolai Milyutin and Count Uvarov. You can feel it with your eyes. ..

This is actually his last insistence. He just wants to use this silent silence to tell the group of people that he is unhappy or unwilling. He thinks that if these people still have a little bit of awe, they should treat him as the king's father. Immediately died down and did not mention this crop.

It's a pity that Alexander II was very wrong. Nikolai Milutin did not back down, and Count Uvarov did not back down. In fact, all the people at the imperial meeting did not back down. Facing his resentment, these people turned a blind eye. , looked at him without fear, did not speak, just waited!

What are you waiting for? Naturally, they waited for Alexander II to compromise and give in. They seemed to recognize that Alexander II could not hold on to the end!

Is that true?

Unfortunately, Alexander II did not follow through. The reason is very simple, not entirely because he was not as decisive and determined as his father, but more importantly, he did not have the confidence.

When Nicholas I first ascended the throne, although the chaos of the December Revolution broke out, it was suppressed as soon as the thunder and rain started. The reason is that Nicholas I basically still controls a reliable military force. , Except for the small group of Decembrists, he was able to command all the troops around St. Petersburg, and naturally he was not afraid.

Alexander II was completely different. His tough old father almost squandered the available military force, and he was not entirely sure to order those who were already very concerned about conservative policies and his "surrender" to Britain and France. The dissatisfied military leader, once the stalemate, it is really difficult for him to step down!
