Struggle in Russia

Nikolai Milyutin is right, if possible, Alexander II would definitely want to maintain the status quo. After all, he is not a serf. He doesn't worry about eating, drinking, or playing with his sister. If he eats and twists, he liberates the serf and destroys his own job?

Count Rostovtsev naturally knew that something like the Tsar would never move without a whip, and even the whip was not very effective, so he had to put a gun to his forehead to move.

It's just that Count Rostovtsev knows that haste is not enough, and he must not push Alexander II too quickly, otherwise he may really have a rebellious mentality and jump over the wall or something.

So he replied very calmly: "I said don't worry, just wait slowly, haste is not enough!"

Nikolai Milyuting looked at him and pondered for a while. To tell the truth, he really didn't want to wait. He always felt that it was too passive.

"But Count Uvarov and the others have obviously started to prepare. What if they continue to put pressure on His Majesty?"

Count Rostovtsev looked up at him and replied: "Then I can't ask for it!"

This answer left Nikolai Milyuting at a loss. In his opinion, it was no trivial matter that Count Uvarov colluded with his people. If they suddenly attacked, there was really no way to stop them. Isn't everything over?

It's just that Count Rostovtsev didn't mean to explain at all. No matter what he said or what, it was to make him wait.

On the other hand, Count Uvarov is a little proud. The Order of St. Andrew is really not something that everyone can get. It is a supreme honor. Once upon a time, he thought that at most, he would get the Order of Alexander Nevsky in this life. Now, when it came time for him, Alexander II suddenly threw such a big cake to him. He was knocked unconscious and couldn't find the north and south.

This huge joy made Count Uvarov ecstatic, and it also made his judgment of the situation erroneous. He couldn't help but despise Alexander II a little bit, and said to himself: How is it, it's not afraid anymore, I know the people of us Great! Let's see if you still pretend to be stupid in the future, but now you can't add it, you don't know, and you won't see us!

Count Uvarov had drifted away, thinking that Alexander II was afraid of their united conservatives, so he had to appease his leading brother. This shows that Alexander II is just a paper tiger!

If it was Nicholas I, I am afraid that the military police in the third film would come to pick up people or send troops directly into the field without saying a word. How could medals be issued! It is quite possible for one person to issue a one-way ticket to hell.

Since he felt that Alexander II was weak and could deceive Count Uvarov, he naturally hoped to completely wipe out the reformists in one breath, so he simply continued to oppress Alexander II to make greater concessions!

Count Uvarov's heart skipped a beat when he thought of this, because the idea was too tempting. Although Nicholas I had always adhered to conservative reactionism for the past 20 to 30 years, conservatives still couldn't eradicate the risk of reform. The voices and initiatives calling for reform made him always as tired as a whack-a-mole.

If performance solves the problem once, then why not give it a try?

Count Uvarov decided to give it a try. In his opinion, the risk was worth it. He felt that Alexander II would not dare to do anything to him. After all, he was a veteran of three dynasties and had just received the Order of St. You can't slap yourself in the face, right?

"Continue to act according to the original plan, and completely eliminate the free elements at one time!" Count Uvarov made a decision without hesitation.

At the end of September, St. Petersburg already felt like winter. The nights were getting longer and the weather was getting colder and colder. This made people feel like they were going to be destroyed.

Archduke Constantine, Archduke Nicholas and Archduke Mikhail arrived in St. Petersburg in this bleak environment.

It can be seen that these three grand dukes have suffered a lot, all of them are yellow-faced and thin, and there is a sadness between their brows that can't be resolved.

Obviously, the sudden death of Nicholas I hit them hard. As a tsar, Nicholas I may be hated, but as a father, he is still basically qualified. Maybe he has problems of one kind or another, and sometimes he is like a cranky He taught several sons like a sadist, making them both respect and fear him.

But both Archduke Constantine and Alexander II would admit that Nicholas I loved them and cared about them very much, even if the way he cared was very problematic, but caring was caring that it could not be faked, and they really felt it. ~www.readwn.com~ These three grand dukes are deeply saddened by the passing of their old father, and they wish they could go with their old father.

When they arrived at St. Peter and Paul's Cathedral, the three brothers were weeping when they saw the huge coffin resting on the red brocade pedestal.

The arrival of the three younger brothers naturally also alarmed Alexander II. In fact, he knew the itinerary of the three younger brothers, especially the Grand Duke Constantine. When they arrived in St. Petersburg, the spy of the Duke of Oldolf reported to him. this news.

This allowed him to calmly wait for his brother in St. Peter and Paul's Cathedral, watching Archduke Constantine, who had been refusing to deal with him, burst into tears, and he didn't know what Alexander II felt as if his heart was pierced by a pair of invisible His big hand rubbed, and in an instant he was also in tears, and he stepped forward to save his three younger brothers and joined the wailing.

This scene is a bit touching. The members of the Norman Rove family who witnessed all this, as well as other ministers who came to hear the news, all lamented the deep brotherhood. Compared with the chaos of the tragic death of Paul I and the riots of the sudden death of Alexander I, this situation is in line with royal bearing!

"Respected Your Majesty, my brother, as your loyal brother and subject, I swear allegiance to you, and I will use my flesh and sword to maintain your dignity until death!"

Immediately after the scene with brother Christine, Archduke Constantine knelt down in front of Alexander II and declared his allegiance.

This move caught Alexander II by surprise. He really did not expect that the younger brother who had been dealing with him all the time would surrender so easily. To be honest, the series of means he had discussed with his staff were all in vain. .

This made him both happy and a little regretful and even felt unreal...
