Struggle in Russia

What Nicholas I feared most was that his nobles and courtiers were influenced by the liberals to revolutionize. The last Decembrists uprising kept his heart lingering. Although the rebellion didn’t take much effort, it was a big deal. There are hundreds of little nobles, and even some of his best friends and confidants.

Even such people are hidden revolutionary parties, and Nicholas I really didn’t know who else he could trust.

So this time when he saw Duke Mikhail and Grand Duke Kogelniceanu saying that the young Adlerberg was connected to the liberals, he immediately became nervous, for fear that the young Adlerberg would become the second special Duke of Rubetskoy.

But now listening to Count Rostovtsev’s analysis, he suddenly felt that a stone in his heart had fallen to the ground. Feeling that someone is not the second Duke of Trubetskoy, that’s good, that’s good, it turns out that several courtiers are fighting for power and making small reports below!

Regarding events such as power struggles, Nicholas I was very happy to see his courtiers do this. He always believed that these courtiers should not be made too easy, and it is better to let them quarrel or even fight together so that he, the emperor, can Divide and conquer. Otherwise, the courtier below is a piece of iron, then he, the emperor, would not become a mud bodhisattva.

Duke Mikhail had a conflict of interest with the young Adlerberg, which Nicholas I was very willing to see. Because it means that Duke Mikhail and Duke Alexandria would never be able to enjoy the wine with the old Adlerberg group.

If Nicholas I looked at the two reports before and felt heavy and full of anxiety, if I look at it now, then he is truly overjoyed!

Nicholas I was very happy, but the Duke of Aldorf was not so happy. Because according to the original plan, he should give the young Adlerberg and the old Adlerberg a bad medicine, so that the father and son can’t take it and walk around. But being so mixed up by Count Rostovtsev, the truth of the matter is almost revealed to the world, how can you take medicine at this time!

Suddenly the Duke of Aldorf was slandering the Count of Rostovtsev in his heart: What do you say you are so good to Adlerberg and his son? Collected their money? Or did you inherit their love?

Of course, the Duke of Ordorf also has a hint of gratitude. Fortunately, Count Rostovtsev rushed to speak in front of him. If he goes to the medicine first, and then Count Rostovtsev analyzes this way, then the fun will be great, don’t Instead of ruining the father and son, he got him in.

[This is also a blessing in misfortune! 】

The Duke of Aldorf sighed in his heart and prepared to write to Duke Mikhail to explain the failure of the plan, and let them wait patiently for the next opportunity.

Yes, the Duke of Aldorf’s thoughts of doing things suddenly went out, and he felt that with Count Rostovtsev, this kind of conspiracy might be very difficult to work, and the next time he had to think of a better strategy.

It can only be said that the Duke of Aldorf is still too ignorant of Count Rostovtsev. As the man who knows the mind of Nicholas I best, he knows the best way to completely break the trust of a courtier in his mind. What is it.

For example, today’s method can only be concealed from Nicholas I for a while, not to mention that the Tsar’s IQ was not particularly high, and his immediate reaction speed was not very fast, but Nicholas I had a very important advantage. That is to be extremely diligent.

A person like him who is particularly diligent and likes to play with the emperor’s minds will revert to everything if there is nothing to do. He will carefully recall everything over and over again, recall the expressions and suggestions of every courtier, and read it again with special care. significance.

This also means that you can hide from him for a while, fooling him once or twice is no problem, but the more times and the longer time, it will not withstand his careful scrutiny. For example, today’s things are not really complicated. With Nicholas I’s political IQ, he actually slept on a camp bed at night and thought about the truth on both sides.

Nicholas I was just made nervous by the liberals and the revolutionary party. As long as relevant issues are involved, he will be subconsciously nervous, which affects his judgment.

If the Count of Rostovtsev had not been ahead of him, if the Duke of Ordorf had taken a bad medicine, Nicholas I would always remember it afterwards. At that time, the inclination of the Duke of Aldorf was exposed, and Nicholas I would think that he was connected with the Duke of Mikhail, or even a party.

When it comes to the Duke Mikhail or the Duke of Alexander in the future, the opinions of the Duke of Ordorf will be regarded as unreliable and not listened to by Nicholas I. This is because of small mistakes.

The Count of Rostovtsev would naturally not let the Duke of Ordorf be planted on this kind of low-level mistake, so he deliberately took the lead and deliberately broke the story first, so that the Duke of Ordorf could not act according to the original plan. This is actually It’s protecting him in disguise.

Moreover, the Count of Rostovtsev wanted to let the Duke of Ordorf know what to do with the correct medicine, and he would not let this opportunity go today!

When Nicholas I breathed a sigh of relief, he suddenly said: “However, your Majesty must still pay attention to the actions of the young Adlerberg. UU Reading www.uukanshu.com Wallachia is now ours. As a mirror, there is no room for error. Wallachia’s stability trumps everything. Once a scandal is caused by the fight for power, then we will become an international joke!”

Nicholas I’s heart jumped again, and he remembered that Wallachia was not another place. This horrible place had just made a revolution because of anti-Russian anti-Russian revolution. If the fight for power and gains of Little Adlerberg triggers a new round of turbulence, That really does not end well.

He felt that Count Rostovtsev was very right. Wallachia’s stability trumps everything. Any action in Wallachia must be stopped, even the ministers who are trying to do things in Wallachia. It’s all two-hearted bastards! There is no overall view at all!

Nicholas I didn’t think Adlerberg was stupid. On the contrary, he felt that neither he nor his old man could be regarded as an “old treacherous cunning”. It is impossible not to know the current importance of Wallachia. But at this important moment, he took advantage of the opportunity of being a special envoy and imperial envoy to go to Wallachia to fight Alexei. What kind of behavior was this?

Nicholas I suddenly felt that Adlerberg and his sons were a bit disgusting, and felt that they had no overall view of the overall situation at all, and that they could disregard the major interests of the entire Russia with a small profit. Is it really good if such a person is entrusted with important tasks? Is it really competent?
