Struggle in Russia

Count Rostovtsev’s strategy is undoubtedly very clever. He not only got rid of the trouble of Grand Duke Mikhail, but also contained the trouble of Grand Duke Constantine. Without the interference of these two princes, his layout in Kiev would be successful. It’s more than half.

Of course, he knew that his greatest enemy, Count Shuvalov, had not been completely subdued, and the next point was to repair him. And he immediately thought of the ammunition that Grand Duke Constantine had just sent. It had to be said that it came early rather than coincidentally. He had just arrived in Kiev, which was a surprise!

“His Royal Highness Constantine, now we can talk about your accusation against Count Shuvalov. Is everything you said before based on tangible evidence?”

Grand Duke Constantine was still thinking about how to get rid of the oil bottle of Grand Duke Mikhail. He had a general impression of this younger brother, and in his eyes he was just a mediocre mediocre. Of course, among the few brothers in his eyes, except for himself as a genius, the others including Prince Alexander are mediocre.

Anyway, his relationship with Grand Duke Mikhail is very ordinary, but now Count Rostovtsev has sent such an annoying oil bottle to see him to supervise him, he has to find a way to be honest!

Grand Duke Constantine had already figured out how to disarm Grand Duke Mikhail, and Count Rostovtsev suddenly asked him about the evidence, and he hesitated a little. Because Viscount Prozolov told him that these terrible things had better be kept in his hands, otherwise the power would be greatly reduced.

But now it was Count Rostovtsev who asked him. As an imperial envoy to handle the case with full authority, his power was not great, and his attitude was very important. What if Count Rostovtsev misunderstood him if he didn’t submit evidence, and he went to investigate him severely?

After thinking about it for a while, Grand Duke Constantine decided to hand over half and leave half, and the most terrible evidence was in his hands, depending on the development of the situation.

“Count, I naturally have the relevant evidence, but you must ensure that you must protect the evidence. Once they go wrong, even if the lawsuit is brought to the father, I will ask you for it!”

Count Rostovtsev replied calmly: “Yes, if you are not at ease, I can give you a written receipt telling you that you have received the evidence.”

Archduke Konstantin naturally couldn’t ask for it, and immediately handed over some insignificant handles to Count Rostovtsev.

When Grand Duke Constantine left, Count Rostovtsev flipped through the evidence again, and immediately sneered: “This Kostya is not so careful, and I don’t even think he has something more important in his hand. Anton, let your people keep a close eye on him, especially pay attention to his contact with Uvarov’s people, and notify me as soon as there is news of this!”

After a short pause, he commanded again: “And Grand Duke Mikhail, keep an eye on him too, this is also uneasy!”

Anton bowed in awe and agreed. He was very strange to the Count of Rostovtsev. He had only heard that he was a senior adviser and confidant of Nicholas I, and a supporter of the **** Nicholas I. .

But this confidant of Nicholas I was in contact with Li Xiao, who supported the reform, and was still in close contact. Li Xiao even directly gave him an order to obey the orders of Count Rostovtsev, no matter what the Count asked him to do. Everything must be executed without hesitation.

To be honest, even Alexei Li Xiao has never been so generous. Anyway, Anton was very curious about the relationship between Count Rostovtsev and Li Xiao and the count’s true political leanings.

Anton was observing Count Rostovtsev, and the latter was actually observing him. When he became an imperial envoy, he immediately contacted Li Xiao, hoping that Li Xiao would send reliable personnel to assist him in the affairs of Kiev.

The reason why Count Rostovtsev approached Li Xiao’s important person was because he didn’t trust all the officials of Kiev, large and small. These people were either **** conservatives or hard-core conservatives. He ‘S identity is too sensitive, it is not suitable to have too much contact with them.

But this time, he must not only attack the strength of the conservatives, but also try to gain control of the third department of Kiev, which also determines that he must have some reliable manpower to assist him.

After thinking about it, Count Rostovtsev felt that only Li Xiao’s people were reliable. And Li Xiao was not stingy either. He directly dispatched Anton to him and told him that Anton was the commander in charge of pitting Duke Constantine and Shuvalov.

Count Rostovtsev was also quite satisfied with Anton’s previous performance. In hindsight, Petrovna’s sudden escape disturbed the overall plan. It was not just Shuvalov who fell into the passive state, which also made Anton have to advance. Hands on.

Although it was a little hasty, the strike succeeded and then retreated quickly, leaving no trace of clues left. It was useless for Shuvalov and Peter Balek to search the whole city for half a month.

Throughout the operation, it can be seen that Anton and his party are indeed well-trained, especially Anton, the commander, who was shocked and calm in the face of the unexpected situation. He acted decisively and acted decisively in advance and achieved satisfactory results. This fully proved his ability, anyway, Count Rostovtsev felt that he had any secret matters to be handed over to Anton Office.

Count Rostovtsev asked, “How is the situation in Kiev during this period of time? What is Shuvalov doing?”

Count Rostovtsev also noticed that Shuvalov ~ www.wuxiax.com ~ was very aware of its harm. He didn’t believe that this insidious guy would just sit and wait during this half-month empty window period, he must have arranged something.

Anton succinctly replied: “For more than half a month, he stayed in the simplest part, basically staying in the third part of Kiev. We didn’t have eyeliner there, and there is no way to know what he did. But from the outside world, his The focus of the work is not on the hunt for Fionin. Although the work is very tight, I think it is because of the thunder and the rain. Shuvalov’s focus should be shifted.”

Count Rostovtsev looked at Anton with interest, and he became more and more interested in this young man. I have to say that every time he dealt with Li Xiao, this down-and-out Grand Duke always gave him some surprises. Look at this young man under him. His brain is a bit better than the noble talents who have been in the officialdom since childhood in St. Petersburg!

Count Rostovtsev suddenly had the idea of ​​taking an examination of Anton’s true level, as if asking casually: “Then what do you think Shuvalov has done in this period of time?”
