Struggle in Russia

I have to say that the Duke of Aldorf is really a smart first-class man. Although everyone in this study knows that the case of Bestuzhev Liuming is not his responsibility and has little to do with him, but he It just took the initiative to stand up and carry this scapegoat.

Why is he smart enough? Because he has to recite this scapegoat, but when he has a little bit of excuses, he, the third director, has done it all.

He took the initiative to back the pot, in fact, to help Nicholas I to hide the shame of the royal family. Everyone knew that if this case was investigated seriously, the board would definitely hit Nicholas I or Duke Constantine on the ass.

Who made Bestuzhev Lumin recommended by Grand Duke Constantine? Who asked Nicholas I to agree?

But the problem is, letting the boss take the blame is not something a qualified subordinate should do first. Otherwise, why would the boss ask you to be a loyal minister if he can't even help with it?

Let’s put it this way, the Duke of Aldorf took the initiative to stand up, making Nicholas I immediately relieved. On the other hand, if the boss is relieved, how can it make you sad?

Sure enough, Nicholas I just gave an um, and said lightly: "Very well, Duke, you can take the initiative to admit your mistakes. This is very responsible. The Kiev case is really bad, you really need to reflect on it, so let's you After returning home, immediately start self-examination, and re-examine the third part up and down, and don't let similar cases happen again!"

If you see it, you can't even count as criticism. Just reflecting on your mistakes and self-examination will be over.

But if the Duke of Aldorf did not take the initiative to admit his mistakes, or even shirk responsibility, do you think Nicholas I would still be so tolerant? Inevitably, he will peel off a layer of skin!

The Duke of Aldorf immediately sighed in secret, and immediately respectfully stated that he must follow Nicholas I's instructions to reflect and examine himself, and then he retired to the queue obediently.

His operation made Count Uvarov a pity. Yes, Count Uvarov actually hoped that the Duke of Ordorf would make a mistake, and it would be best if he angered Nicholas I and was removed on the spot.

He hadn't forgotten the story of the cable telegraph, wishing the Duke of Aldorf made a mistake. The Duke of Aldorf easily passed the level without any surprises and dangers, which made him both disappointed and annoyed. After waiting for a moment to see that no one else meant to speak, he stood up and said loudly:

"Your Majesty, this case is no trivial matter. The Rebellion Party is even able to win over and corrupt the third department leader like Bestuzhev Liuming, which fully demonstrates how great their power is. If they are allowed to continue to develop, there will be endless troubles. !"

This is actually nonsense, but it is also a nonsense that Nicholas I was very concerned about and agreed with. What he fears most is the development and growth of the chaotic party. If Bestuzhev Liuming can be wooed and bought by them, what else can they not do?

Count Uvarov nodded slightly when he saw King Nicholas I, and immediately continued: "Therefore, this case must be strictly investigated. It is necessary to investigate him and send the responsible persons to justice one by one. Only in this way can they deter those young people. In order to let the local ministers know what can and cannot be done! So I beg you to investigate this case carefully, and it is best to send a reliable and competent person to supervise the case!"

Nicholas I glanced at Count Uvarov and asked calmly: "Who do you think is more appropriate?"

Count Uvarov didn’t know if he was really old, or he didn’t notice Nicholas I’s small actions, or he wanted to get back a head-on blow to Grand Duke Constantine in Ukraine, so he didn’t realize it at all. The question actually has a problem, so he replied carelessly:

"Your Majesty, I think Count Vasily Buturlin is the most suitable candidate."

This Vasily Buturlin is a descendant of former Field Marshal Alexander Borisovich Buturlin. Speaking of which, neither the old Buturlin nor this little Buturlin is a talent, and the ability is very mediocre. By the generation of Little Buturlin, this family has become synonymous with conservative.

One can imagine what Uvarov's thoughts were in recommending such a mediocre but extremely conservative person to investigate the case.

This also reminded Nicholas I of Count Rostovtsev’s previous warning. His suspicion spread all of a sudden, and he began to doubt whether the case was a conservative conspiracy against Archduke Constantine.

So after he pondered for a while, he categorically rejected Count Uvarov’s suggestion: "Count Vasily Buturlin, that guy is so stupid that he can't understand the Bible. How to investigate the case, he can't!"

Count Uvarov immediately felt extremely embarrassed, because he was still ready to help Buturlin with enthusiasm, but when he turned around, Nicholas I actually said that he was so stupid that he could not investigate the case. This kind of made him face to face. The meaning of not coming to Taiwan.

Count Uvarov was a little surprised. He didn't understand why Nicholas I didn't like Buturlin because he was so stupid or because of other things. But at this moment, he couldn't ask carefully to understand, he could only throw out the second candidate:

"If Earl Buturlin is not suitable, what about Marquis Mikhail Brius? I think there is absolutely no problem with his ability..."

Needless to say ~www.readwn.com~ This Brius must also be a **** conservative, so Nicholas I denied it again without even thinking about it: "He is now the dean of the Military Academy, right? It is more appropriate for him to stay in St. Petersburg. Taking good care of his students is more important than anything else!"

At this time, Count Uvarov realized that no matter how stupid he was, he realized that the problem was unusual. After he mentioned two candidates in a row, they were rejected mercilessly by King Nicholas I. The reason was definitely not due to ability, but the majesty. Don't want conservatives to investigate the case!

It’s not too late for Count Uvarov to realize this, because if he continues to nominate conservatives to investigate the case indifferently, then Nicholas I might be furious. He would think that this was Uvarov deliberately making a name for himself, just to send his own people to murder or slander Archduke Constantine.

Realizing the problem, Uvarov suddenly found himself in trouble. If he continued to nominate conservatives, he would be looking for his own death. But instead of sending a real person to investigate this case, he was really worried that something went wrong halfway.

So at this moment, he is either advancing or retreating. Don't nominate him. What if someone proposes to send a reformer to investigate the case later? It's not that this opportunity was lost in vain!
