Struggle in Russia

Li Xiao didn't know what Anton was thinking about, and even if he knew, he wouldn't be surprised. For people like them who are at odds with the conservatives, whenever they have a chance, they will definitely give the other party some color.

It's just that Li Xiao doesn't support Anton's special efforts on this issue, he doesn't think it's necessary.

First of all, not everyone can intervene in this kind of national affairs. To put it bluntly, it is difficult for even Li Xiao to intervene, and even Alexei is barely qualified to intervene.

Secondly, even if you want to intervene to change the overall situation, it is very difficult, especially now that the situation is basically like that, who can reverse it?

To put it bluntly, the only one who can prevent Russia from this war is Nicholas I himself. The question is who can make the tsar change his mind now?

So even if Anton doesn't do anything, it's okay, but if Anton's goal is to avoid this war, then the fun will be great. He can do some things, but can he change Nicholas I? what do you think?

Very hanging!

Finally, Anton's current position is a bit special. Soon he will be appointed by Count Rostovtsev as the head of the Kiev military police and police, which means that he will be directly related to Count Rostovtsev.

In the officialdom, there is no blindness. Who is who, and who is promoted to an official, that is what bureaucrats are most concerned about. People who don't know who their colleagues are have any backing. I'm afraid these guys will not feel at ease when they sleep.

So there was no surprise at all, and soon the officials would find Count Rostovtsev standing behind Anton, and even Nicholas I might notice that Anton was promoted by Count Rostovtsev.

In other words, whatever Anton does in the future will involve Count Rostovtsev. And the earl's identity is more sensitive, he is the most hidden reformer. For the time being, it was necessary to protect his secret identity.

Naturally, Anton has to weigh things carefully, try not to get involved with the reformists, and it's best not to show too obvious political inclinations on weekdays.

To be honest, this will make Anton very embarrassed, and he needs to be more cautious in doing things. It is not an exaggeration to say that he must be cautious. But this is the price you have to pay for getting on the express train of Count Rostovtsev.

After all, there is absolutely no way in this world that light benefits do not bear disadvantages or have no disadvantages at all.

When Li Xiao mentioned this, Anton immediately fell silent,

Because he knew that what Li Xiao said was right, he might really have to be very careful in doing things in the future, and it was impossible for him to be happy with his enmity.

To be honest, this was aggrieved, and Anton was very depressed, and he began to regret it.

But it was only a moment of regret, and Anton immediately put it behind him. After all, he is not a pure official fan, he is also a person with ideals and pursuits. For him, it is his goal to help the reformists win and let Russia carry out in-depth reforms. What is it to suffer such a little grievance for this goal?

"I understand, I will pay special attention, and I must keep a firm watch on Kiev, so as not to let those stubborn and conservative bastards take advantage of the loopholes!"

Li Xiao still has great confidence in Anton. He knows how strong Anton is, and he also knows how firm Anton's will is. Having him in Kiev is a blessing for them and Count Rostovtsev. Kind of lucky.

He smiled and said, "I am absolutely assured that you are here, but I heard that you have a little bit of trouble with the earl's secretary?"

Anton didn't expect Li Xiao to know even such trivial things. He smiled wryly and said, "There is no festival, at least I don't think there is any festival... It's just that he seems to dislike me, and he has a sense of superiority from St. Petersburg, you know , what do those high-ranking nobles in St. Petersburg look like..."

Li Xiao smiled, of course he knew what St. Petersburg's sense of superiority was, and he didn't have a liking for those guys whose eyes were higher than the top but often turned out to be inferior. Because these idiots are no less bad in Bucharest.

Especially when he and Alexei were just in charge of Wallachia, those high-ranking nobles or their children who came from St. Petersburg made a lot of troubles, and in the end they had to make an example of others. The situation changed only when such goods were approved.

Those bastards who only have talk and a sense of superiority dare not come to Wallachia to mess around, and instead go to Moldavia to harm.

The results of it? Time tells everything, Wallachia without these high-level garbage is getting better and better, while Moldavia with those high-level garbage has become a veritable garbage dump.

Li Xiao asked, "Did that high-level trash bother you?"

Anton felt that the term high-level trash was appropriate, but he still said frankly: "That Secretary Sergey can't be considered high-level trash, at least he is a little stronger than high-level trash, he has certain abilities, right? The atmosphere of bureaucracy is strong, because he is the earl's secretary and likes to give orders, if others disagree with his arrangement, he will use the secretary's influence, very bureaucratic and an official fan!"

Li Xiao has also dealt with Sergey several times, but because of his status, no matter how downcast he is, he is still a majestic grand duke. face.

So generally speaking, Li Xiao has never experienced Sergey's trashy side, but now, after hearing Anton's explanation, he probably knows what kind of temper this Sergey has. When looking at people, you have completely different faces to your superiors and to your subordinates.

Then he just wants to be an official and a high-ranking official with all his heart, and he doesn't care about any means to climb up. He said bluntly that this kind of person belongs to the type of person who is useful but needs to be used with caution.

Compared with those mediocre people with good backgrounds but low abilities, they are indeed talents, but their intelligence and talents may not be fully used in ways that are beneficial to society and the country. If such a person follows a good leader, he can still play a useful role under his influence and constraints.

Conversely, if you follow the wrong person, maybe it’s a copy of Count Shuvalov. In short, this kind of person must be vigilant, and their changes need to be carefully observed, especially Sergey’s contact Count Rostovtsev has too many secrets, so he needs to pay special attention.

Once he becomes unscrupulous in order to climb up, it will definitely cause an unprecedented disaster!

Immediately, Li Xiao frowned. This potential hidden danger made him very worried. He planned to talk to Count Rostovtsev first. If the Count did not pay enough attention or did not pay enough attention, he would take measures to prevent it... …
