Struggle in Russia

v3 Chapter 148 - Trouble

, The fastest update of struggle in the latest chapter of Tsarist Russia!

Count Rostovtsev is too familiar with these methods of Nicholas I. They are nothing more than checks and balances. It is not uncommon for them to create contradictions deliberately, and to apply both kindness and power. He has seen it too many times in the twenty years following Nicholas I.

Seeing it a lot, naturally you will know what medicine is sold in the gourd by smelling a little bit. Anyway, after listening to Dmitry’s narrative, Rostovtsev immediately knew what Prince Alexander wanted to do.

It must be this one who has already recollected it, knowing that Baryatinsky and Pobedonostsev had pitted him before, but these two are his most reliant courtiers, and no one can replace them yet. . Severely taught him that he was afraid of hurting the feelings of both parties, but if not taught him, he was worried that these two guys would become more and more unscrupulous. So I thought of using Dmitry to beat the two.

I have to say that the emperor’s house is different. This trick should be said to be too useful. Looking at the feelings of Baryatinsky and Pobedonostsev, they are obviously aware of Dmitry’s threat. , Knowing that Prince Alexander didn’t leave them and nobody was useless. Presumably, they will constrain a lot afterwards, and dare not let Crown Prince Alexander be taken advantage of.

Dmitri couldn’t help being a little solemn after hearing Count Rostovtsev’s analysis. Although he had been conscious before, he still felt a little sad after Count Rostovtsev had completely pointed it out.

As a true nobleman, as a nobleman full of affection for Russia and the Romanov family, although Dmitry is a reformist, he never thought of subverting the Romanov family’s rule. What he wants is a constitutional monarchy. Let the Romanov family become as respected and restricted as the British royal family.

So he is really willing to serve the Romanov family and serve the Prince Alexander, but after today’s emergence, he can’t help but start to doubt whether this family is really willing to establish a constitutional monarchy and become an enlightened monarch.

You see, they have to play tricks on such a simple matter, they have to ambush, they have to divide and conquer. This fully shows that their desire for power has been soaked in their bones. Such a family is really willing to become an enlightened monarch. Limit your privileges?

Obviously this is impossible. They will do everything possible for power. They will not let go as long as there is a little chance to continue to hold power!

When he thinks of this, Dmitry’s mood is very low, feeling that there is a huge gap between his ideals and reality.

Count Rostovtsev knew Dmitry too well, and he knew what the boy was thinking by looking at his expression, but he had no idea about it, because that was Dmitry’s ideal, not his.

Count Rostovtsev never thought of making Russia a constitutional monarchy like Britain, and a virtual monarch. He felt that such a method was not suitable for Russia, and it would be ugly to take pictures of cats and tigers, and it might even put Russia in a desperate situation.

Count Rostovtsev knew that although Russia has been learning from the West since Peter the Great, and trying hard to move closer to the West, this kind of closeness is very strange in the bones, or that Russia has only learned the fur of the West, but Russia is in its bones. It is still a country of the Eastern model, advocating authority.

Count Rostovtsev knew that Russia’s territory is too vast, and that the various ethnic groups in the territory are very acute. If there is no strong centralized government to govern everything, then the country will fall apart in minutes.

Therefore, it is very necessary for a powerful czar to exist. If there is no such powerful czar, then the country will be in a state of chaos. Look at those periods when Russia was strong in history, whether Peter the Great or Ekaterina the Great was not a powerful tsar. Even if you don’t talk about them, just talk about Nicholas I. Although this czar has no vision, he is considered a powerful czar in terms of the strength of his rule.

Only under the rule of these powerful czars can Russia be stable and stable. Once the czar cannot control the situation, look at the mess after the death of Peter the Great and see why the incompetent Paul I was killed by his courtiers.

Therefore, to ensure the prosperity and stability of Russia, a strong ruling core is very important, but Count Rostovtsev thinks that such a ruling core is not so appropriate. He studied the historical documents of Peter the Great’s time. I came to a conclusion that the core of the ruling must be very powerful, but at the same time it must be able to correctly accept the opinions of the courtiers and not put personal authority completely above the state. Look at the absurdity of Peter the Great in his later years. Such incidents are actually a little bit in Russia. Not surprisingly, almost every great czar ended up in absurdity, and every greatness is a chicken feather.

After long-term research, Count Rostovtsev found that a strong czar is necessary for Russia to remain prosperous. However, to maintain stability after the death of the strong czar, the czar needs to be sensible.

To be honest, after all these years of eunuchs, Count Rostovtsev knew that this was a contradiction. It was like a person who was strong enough to be able to deter the Quartet, but also stipulated that he should not have a violent temper.

Count Rostovtsev once felt that it was almost impossible to achieve ~www.wuxiax.com~ Until he saw the biography of Frederick the Great, the enlightened despotism immediately attracted him, and he felt that there was no system more than this. It is suitable for Russia’s national conditions.

Enough authoritarianism and enough enlightenment will certainly be able to create a glorious future for Russia. From that moment on, he continued to study how to realize enlightened despotism in Russia. Yes, Count Rostovtsev is not a fool. He knows that the general enlightened autocracy is not suitable for Russia. For example, Ekaterina the Great, is she also an enlightened autocracy? But as soon as she died, Russia was immediately plunged into turmoil.

This shows that the enlightened autocracy in the traditional sense is not suitable for Russia. Count Rostovtsev felt that this happened because the autocracy was guaranteed in Russia, and even the stupid tsar had enough autocracy. Means, but enlightenment is not necessary.

In his opinion, even Catherine the Great was not enlightened enough. If he could not find a way to ensure the enlightenment of the tsar, so that enlightenment could compete with the despotism, then everything would be useless.

So how to ensure enlightenment?

This problem has troubled Count Rostovtsev for many years, and he has never had a good solution…
