Struggle in Russia

Old Adlerberg felt that his back was soaked, and Alexander II knew what he had done. What does this mean? It shows that your every move is under the control of the other party!

Of course, old Adlerberg was not surprised by this, but surprised. Because he has been in the Winter Palace for so many years, he knows exactly what kind of virtue the Tsar is.

To put it bluntly, something like a tsar is a typical example of both being a watch and setting up a memorial archway, and his heart is not usually gloomy. They will never give up any means to monitor the courtiers, otherwise how did the third part come about?

He was surprised that Alexander II, the tsar who looked like he had a la carte, was so powerful. According to his understanding of Alexander II, he felt that the tsar was far inferior to his father. Compared with Nicholas I, he was a little naive. Not only was he weak and hesitant to do things, but he was also too lenient to his courtiers.

If it were Nicholas I, there would be no chaos between the conservatives and the reformers. He could wipe out Count Uvarov and Nikolai Milutin in a matter of minutes, and it would be easy for them to go to Siberia to repair the earth.

Seeing Alexander II being forced into a mess, old Adlerberg was very disdainful, and naturally looked down on him a little bit, thinking that it would take too long for him to really become a qualified tsar Long way to go.

But the murderous intent that Alexander II accidentally showed just now was immediately overwhelmed by him. It turned out that this guy was not without means or scheming at all. Look at his methods of monitoring his subjects, which are exactly the same as Nicholas I!

In short, this is also a master full of suspicion, he is not as easy-going and easy to deal with as he appears on the surface, maybe this person has a dark heart!

He sounded a wake-up call in his heart, and the old Adlerberg knew that he had to be more careful, and he must not underestimate Alexander II any more. He quickly lowered his head and confessed his actions in full, and then desperately begged Alexander II's forgiveness.

Similar to what old Adlerberg thought, Alexander II was really clear about his little moves, and the reason why he didn't take any action was very simple.

For him, how can courtiers control them if they don't fight the monarch? Therefore, proper intrigue among courtiers is not a bad thing.

Anyway, he was happy to see the old Adlerbergs fight their way out.

And the reason why he pointed it out now is also for deterrence, he just wants to tell his courtiers that it is okay to fight, but it is absolutely impossible and absolutely not allowed to make a name for himself without telling him!

Seeing old Adlerberg's frightened and frightened look made him feel very happy from the bottom of his heart. Finally, he let out a breath of anger, these days he was disgusted by these annoying courtiers.

However, he didn't do anything to the old Adlerberg, he just took away the quota he had extorted from Duke Dolgoruky and let the old man go.

"Be more careful in doing things in the future, and it won't be so easy if you focus on playing tricks!" Alexander II suddenly asked after a few lessons: "Who did the queen meet today?"

Old Adlerberg was stunned again. He thought that Alexander II was here to beat him today, but now it seems that he is not?

Then his mind turned quickly, wondering if something happened that he didn't know?

It looks like the queen hasn't done anything recently? I haven't heard that there is a problem with the relationship between Alexander II and Queen Maria? It seems that you just met and chatted happily?

Old Adlerberg was full of doubts, not sure what Alexander II meant. And the latter obviously wouldn't explain the reason to him. Alexander II just signaled the old fox with his eyes to explain quickly.

So old Adlerberg was sitting on wax. Although he was very concerned about the situation in the Winter Palace, it was impossible to know everything. After recalling it for a long time, he honestly explained:

"Today, Her Majesty the Empress did not summon her subjects, nor did any of her subjects come to see her... Apart from going to see the Empress Dowager, Her Majesty the Empress did not do anything special..."

This answer made Alexander II frowned. Why did he pay attention to Queen Maria's movements? The reason lies in Queen Maria's previous warning. Although her words are very reasonable, they also aroused Alexander II's vigilance.

In Russian history, it is so common for queens to intervene in politics and even become emperors. It is far from necessary to say that his great-grandmother ruled the world in this way. Although he is still in his prime and in good health, considering Queen Maria's political acumen, he has to be on guard.

At first he wondered if there was something to remind Queen Maria, that's why the Queen came to remind him.

This kind of behavior is very worthy of vigilance, and its nature is not fundamentally different from that suggested by Pobedonostsev~www.readwn.com~There is a possibility of "falsifying public interests for personal gain". Possibly even bad intentions!

But old Adlerberg actually told him that none of his subjects had seen Queen Maria today, which meant that those warnings were probably thought of by Queen Maria herself.

After realizing this, Alexander II felt chills down his spine! As I said just now, he is deeply wary of the Queen's meddling in politics. It doesn't matter if Queen Maria is just an ordinary aristocratic woman.

But if Queen Maria's political acumen and vision are better than him, this will make Alexander II deeply jealous. No man likes his wife to be a strong woman, especially the king of a country like him, and he doesn't like his wife to be too strong and capable. He wants a queen who is a bird and a person, rather than a political woman who is extremely shrewd.

And now Queen Maria has shown a trend in this regard. Do you think he is nervous?

After thinking for a while, Alexander II warned himself that he must pay attention to this tendency and not give Queen Mary too many opportunities to interfere in politics. So he casually told old Adlerberg:

"Okay, from now on, pay more attention to and care about the Queen's situation, and report to me every detail..."

Old Adlerberg shuddered in his heart, how could he fail to see what Alexander II meant with his shrewdness. This guy doesn't even trust the person next to him. This paranoia is worse than Lao Tzu's. It seems that he should be more careful in the future, and he must not be careless again.

Of course, he was still more curious. He didn't understand how Queen Maria would attract the attention of Alexander II. Did the queen do something?
