Struggle in Russia

If Prince Alexander knew what Pogokin was like, he might not be interested in talking nonsense with this guy right away. But he didn't know this, and even he didn't know that Pogokin's relationship with Count Uvarov was irresistible!

Why do you say that?

Count Uvarov is actually Pogokin's protector. The very important reason why Pogokin was able to be active in the Russian political publishing industry was that Count Uvarov served as his backer.

Let's put it this way, Count Uvarov officially advocated conservatism and supported slavery. On the other hand, Pogokin initiated a corresponding role as a navy in the public opinion circle. The two are inseparable with each other.

You can think of Prince Alexander expecting to hear good things about reforms and the New Deal from Pogokin. Isn’t this a idiotic dream?

More importantly, the relationship between Pogogin and Count Uvarov is still very secretive. No one knows that Pogogin is actually his own, except for several of Count Uvarov’s close associates. Even the young Adlerberg was slightly aware, but did not have actual evidence.

It’s just that he knew that Pogokin must be his own, and he would never turn his elbow out of the way, and it would definitely not be a bad thing, so he immediately agreed: "Mikhail Petrovich is right, Archduke Konstantin’s The New Deal is extremely dangerous and we have to guard against it. Your Highness, you must prepare early!"

Prince Alexander looked at young Adlerberg and then at Pogokin. The two men's plausible appearance made him hesitate, although the two looked loyal and seemed to be completely planning for him. , But why does he always feel that there is something tricky in it?

At this time, he remembered the old father's teaching. Don't rush to conclusions or make decisions about things that are not right. Wait and see, and check if necessary. Any diorama will be in effect.

So he didn't directly refuse, but haha ​​said: "Well, it makes sense, I will consider it!"

Young Adlerberg and Pogokin are not stupid. Hearing his tone, he knew that there were still ups and downs in this matter. At least the crown prince did not completely agree, but they were not in a hurry. Just now Count Uvarov’s Circumstances have proved that it is impossible to fool the crown prince as easily as before.

Prince Alexander has become more and more shrewd and difficult to fool, and more and more like his old father. This is both a good thing and a bad thing. The good thing is that such a crown prince must be getting closer and closer to the throne, but the bad thing is that a new tsar who is particularly like Nicholas I is not easy to serve!

If you don't believe me, ask Count Uvarov and the old foxes and ask them how it feels to serve Nicholas I. The czar is very suspicious and very strong, and has a unique desire for control. He can't wait to shut everything up. A little bit of unsatisfactory will make him lose his temper, and he is still mean and sinister enough, look. Seeing his method of killing Pushkin, who is not afraid!

"The earl is waiting for two people in front."

When the young Adlerberg and Pogokin had just walked out of Prince Alexander's residence, a gray-clothed attendant quickly walked towards them, and gave orders without denying them.

Little Adlerberg and Pogokin glanced at each other, and both could read unexpected emotions from each other's eyes. The two of them did not speak, nodded their heads and walked forward behind the attendant.

After crossing two streets, Count Uvarov’s luxurious carriage stopped by the side of the road, and the attendant swiftly pulled the car door and made a sign of please. Adlerberg and Pogokin obediently got in. car.

Soon the coachman raised his whip and whipped his horse's **** twice, and the luxury carriage galloped away steadily.

In the carriage, Count Uvarov looked at Adlerberg and Pogokin with a sullen face. He looked carefully and attentively, as if he wanted to see through the hearts of these two people and read their thoughts directly.

Pogokin was a little uncomfortable, there seemed to be a needle stick under his butt, and he was a little fidgeting.

Little Adlerberg, on the other hand, was much calmer, facing Count Uvarov's scrutiny calmly, just like a okay person.

"Sure enough, the serf's origin is still dog meat and can't be seated!"

Count Uvarov murmured in his heart and then slowly asked: "After I left, what did the crown prince say?"

Although young Adlerberg was calm, he did not dare to be careless in the face of Count Uvarov's question, and quickly recounted the following conversation briefly and concisely. The emphasis is on how they suggested that the crown prince should make up his mind to kill the Grand Duke Constantine early.

Count Uvarov ignored little Adlerberg, and suddenly asked Pogokin: "Only these?"

Pogokin did not dare to lift his head, and cautiously replied: "Yes, but I don't think the crown prince is particularly convinced of our proposal."

Count Uvarov raised his head, squinted his index finger and tapped the carriage lightly. He didn't know what he was thinking. After a while he said: "Normal, the crown prince has grown very fast recently. It is a good thing to be independent! "

Little Adlerberg and Pogokin dared not talk, because they knew that Count Uvarov's words must have the back half, and the latter must be good things.

"But if you have your own opinion, you can't just use it, especially if you don't break away from the principle of the Trinity. This is very bad. Our influence on the crown prince has been weakened. You must do more work in the near future. Make sure that the crown prince trusts us. The crown prince belt is off!"

Little Adlerberg and Pogokin hurriedly nodded like a chicken pecking rice, UU reading www.uukanshu. Although they also know how to influence the crown prince to prevent him from being biased, isn't it stupid not to nod at this time?

"Very good," Count Uvarov nodded and said coldly, "Have Baryatinski and others write back recently?"

Naturally, this was not for Pogokin, he was not qualified to wander to the crown prince every day, obviously he was asking little Adlerberg. Suddenly the little fox was a little big head, and everyone could tell that the relationship between Count Uvarov and Duke Baryatinski was not particularly good.

It can even be said that the two sides have gradually begun to compete. The most important reason why it is difficult to form a joint force within the conservatives in recent times is that the strong rise of Duke Baryatinsky broke the original division of power. Count De Uvarov was uncomfortable.

And the Adlerberg family is also watching to tell the truth, not particularly wanting to stand in line immediately, but now Count Uvarov asked, if he does not answer, it is equivalent to standing in line, if you let Baryagins The gang of Ki knew that he had leaked the news to Count Uvarov, and the little "friendship" he had just tried hard to win over would break immediately.

Suddenly young Adberg hesitated a bit...
