Struggle in Russia

Li Xiao shrugged his shoulders indifferently, and replied: "So what, I'm just telling the truth, this is an objective fact. Back then, I didn't have any conditions. If I succeeded, it would be called hell. If there is no other way Accept it, so what is the point of learning a lesson? If those of us who support reform are still so naive, then I can almost affirm that reform will fail!"

Prince Vorontsov looked at Li Xiao with great interest, and said slowly, "You really dare to say that you are not afraid that they will squeeze you out?"

Li Xiao said contemptuously: "If they really exclude me because of this, then I wish I could just draw a clear line with these childish idiots, so as not to be implicated by them in the future!"

Prince Vorontsov laughed loudly, pointed at Li Xiao and said, "Although your words are a bit crazy, there is still some truth... As you said, if those of us who support reform are still the same as we were 30 years ago Childish, you really have to draw a line with them!"

After a while, Prince Vorontsov suddenly asked: "You mean that the reason why Count Rostovtsev went to inform him was to draw a line with those naive fools and preserve his strength for the future?"

Although this is indeed true, Li Xiao would not answer yes foolishly, who can guarantee that this is not Duke Vorontsov testing him? ..

Even if it wasn't, wouldn't it be quite naive for him to expose Count Rostovtsev's identity so casually?

So he replied: "No, a whistleblower is a whistleblower, there's nothing to lament about it, I'm just telling you the fact that the Decembrists were doomed back then, as to what Count Rostovtsev's actions were, I think that It doesn't matter, because no matter how we interpret it now, it can't change the fact that the Decembrists failed. As for whether Count Rostovtsev should be cast aside and condemned, it is up to the benevolent to see the wisdom. Are there a thousand Hamlets in there?"

Prince Vorontsov laughed again, still so cheerfully, after a while he recovered his strength and said to Li Xiao: "No wonder the count said you are a little fox, what you said is really impeccable!"

Li Xiao suddenly realized that Duke Vorontsov knew the identity of Count Rostovtsev as expected. If you think about it, people who don't know the truth have a lot of opinions on Count Rostovtsev, especially among the reformers who hate him deeply.

If Prince Vorontsov didn’t know the truth, it’s hard to imagine that he would have no objection to Count Rostovtsev being in charge of the Serfdom Reform Committee, at least not so categorically when Grand Duke Constantine deliberately mentioned this refuse.

"Your performance is not bad. Didn't Grand Duke Constantine be tricked by you?"

Prince Vorontsov shook his head and said, "That's different. He's a fool. It's not difficult to hide it from him. But your performance really caught my eye!"

"You are absurd," Li Xiao bowed slightly, "Compared to you and Count Rostovtsev, my little tricks here are not on the table at all. You are really incredible!"

Prince Vorontsov burst out laughing immediately. He patted Li Xiao on the shoulder and said, "Okay, let's stop flattering each other. If your cousin hears this, he will faint!"

I have to say that although Grand Duke Constantine is not very good, he is very effective in adjusting the atmosphere. What about the relationship between Li Xiao and Prince Vorontsov before?

Although Duke Vorontsov looked very kind and friendly, Li Xiao always felt that there was a layer of separation. He didn't think that the Duke was a trustworthy person of his own. But after what happened to Grand Duke Constantine, the gap between the two disappeared, and the atmosphere was called harmony.

"If I let my cousin know the real identity of Count Rostovtsev, I'm afraid it will make him vomit three liters of blood! If he knows that the count he has always disliked is one of the real leaders of the reform party, with him His temper probably will knock off the roof!"

Prince Vorontsov also laughed loudly: "It is indeed possible, but to be honest, I think the count is right to deliberately hide it from him. He is really unreliable!"

Li Xiao also nodded in agreement: "Even if he doesn't know how to inform, he will use this to blackmail the Earl, and he will do it with his temper!"

The two vomited about Grand Duke Constantine for a while before turning to the topic.

Prince Vorontsov sighed and said: "Although the character of Grand Duke Constantine is not very good, the problem is basically correct... The serf system reform committee is indeed not playing its due role at present. I think Rostov Earl Tsev’s management of this department has advantages and disadvantages, it’s hard to tell the pros and cons for the time being!”

Li Xiao didn't say anything~www.readwn.com~because what Prince Vorontsov said made sense. Although Count Rostovtsev was in charge of the Serfdom Reform Committee to prevent the conservatives from making a name for themselves, but his undercover status determined that he could not really pass the reform strategy drastically.

In short, it didn't feel like his move was pivotal.

But Li Xiao knew that Count Rostovtsev was an old fox. With his personality, he tried every means to capture the Serfdom Reform Committee, and he definitely wouldn't just watch.

"I think the Earl may have some plans," Li Xiao replied after deliberation, "He always walks one step at a time and looks at three steps, so he must have a plan, but he can't tell us his plan yet..."

Prince Vorontsov hummed, and sighed: "Maybe that's the case. He has always liked to engage in such tricks. You don't even know what he is doing until the last moment..."

As he said that, he sighed again: "Although it's absolutely okay to keep it secret, I still feel uncomfortable. He made us people always know his plan and purpose until the answer is revealed. It’s too passive to be able to cooperate passively... and doing so makes us feel as if we are redundant, as long as he is enough for any plan or strategy..."

To be honest, Li Xiao also felt this way, how should I put it? Having a monster leader who is almost like Count Rostovtsev can really relieve your worries, because he has predicted everything you can think of and unexpected. It can be said that as long as you follow his plan, you will be sure, as long as you have a 60 to 70% certainty.

but? As Prince Vorontsov said, Count Rostovtsev was responsible for all the mental activities, and everyone else seemed to be spectators. That kind of feeling is really not good...
