Struggle in Russia

Alexander II was very satisfied with Count Shuvanov's attitude, and now he felt dizzy when he saw those courtiers who were trying to find excuses to make a name for themselves. He now understands why Nicholas I likes to use some mediocre but loyal courtiers so much.

Although these guys have limited abilities, they also have limited ability to play tricks. He doesn't have to worry about these guys playing tricks to fool him all the time.

And if you look at the people around him, you can't see how strong they are, but they have more hearts than one. Dealing with these grandsons every day, Alexander II felt that he would have a short lifespan. .

But Earl Shuvanov gave him a different feeling. This person is said to be a first-class smart person, but he can listen to the training honestly, which feels so good!

Anyway, for the first time, Alexander II felt that the person recommended by Count Rostovtsev was good, he knew the rules, he knew how to advance and retreat, and he was especially considerate of his father.

Alexander II decided to listen carefully to Count Shuvanov's words. Those who performed well must be given a chance to perform!

"Tell me, what's on your mind!"

Count Shuvanov secretly breathed a sigh of relief. The reason why he was so honest was not because he could not offend either Duke Dolgoruky or Pobedonostsev, let alone Rostov Earl Zev was staring at him, and he felt like he was walking on eggshells every day, not to mention being scolded, even if he was beaten, he could only grit his teeth and endure it.

"I think this thing is weird!"

He thought for a while and replied: "It stands to reason that Duke Vladimir is just a broken-down libertine. He has no powerful friends and no money. How could he suddenly disappear under the nose of the third part?"

Alexander II nodded, and he couldn't figure it out either.

However, Count Shuvanov did not give an answer immediately, but raised a new question: "This is only the second, and what is even more puzzling is that the third part has turned St. How is it possible that there is no trace of him?"

Alexander II nodded again, which is really puzzling. Although Pobedonostsev is not good at the business of the third part, it doesn’t take a lot of skill to conduct a city-wide search. With the manpower and financial resources of the third part, it has been in vain several times in a row. This really shows that some problems.

"So?" he asked.

Count Shuvanov replied decisively: "So I think we have internal problems!"

Alexander II was taken aback for a moment, never expecting Count Shuvanov to give such an answer.

Is it a little too bold to accuse the third part of internal problems? If even the third part is assigned trust, who else can you trust?

Count Shuvanov glanced at it, and saw that Alexander II had listened to his words, and then slowly said: "Although there are some problems in the third part, there may be some bureaucracy, corruption, and selfishness. But I don’t think these are big problems, the vast majority of people in the third part are dedicated to sharing the worries of His Majesty. I think there are some very few people who have problems!”

Alexander II stared at him and asked, "Which very few?"

Earl Shuvanov bowed his head and replied: "I'm just guessing, there is no real evidence at all. For example, Your Excellency, he is now physically and mentally exhausted and just wants to wear the crown. He may deliberately leak the news. For example, Duke Dolgoruky, In order to fight for power and profit with the chief, he may also intentionally tear down the stage..."

"You are quite courageous! Earl!" Alexander II said, staring at him.

Count Shuvanov quickly explained: "Your Majesty, I'm just doing an objective analysis. They are indeed suspected, aren't they?"

"Aren't you afraid that the news will spread and those two will find fault with you?" Alexander II asked with a smile.

Count Shuvanov replied: "I'm afraid! But I'm always His Majesty's subject, and I'm only responsible to His Majesty."

Alexander II just smiled, obviously this level of loyalty was too common for him. However, Count Shuvanov did not have the extravagant hope of succeeding once. For him, this kind of words must be said, and whenever he has the opportunity, he should take the initiative to say it. It will be useful to say it a few times.

Alexander II asked: "Then do you think it was the two of them who leaked the news?"

Count Shuvanov replied: "I don't think it is very likely. As long as they are not stupid, they will not do such a stupid thing!"

Alexander II curled his lips and said contemptuously, "Then what's the use of what you said?"

Count Shuvanov quickly explained: "Of course it is useful, Your Majesty! I mean that those who know the inside story of the third part are more or less likely to leak the secret. I have seen many similar situations, and these leakers probably didn’t do it on purpose~www.readwn.com~ Maybe they just couldn’t control their gossip when chatting with friends and mistresses, or deliberately showed off, similar things are not uncommon !"

Alexander II was stunned, because no one had ever said such a thing to him, does it make sense? Of course there is!

He knows the gossip of the nobles too well. At those **** and salons, the nobles dare to say anything just to make Pomeranians smile. In many cases, the news from the circle is much faster and more accurate than the official ones.

So it's entirely possible that some big mouth leaked the news in order to please the younger sister!

But he immediately thought again, even so, how to check?

Count Shuvanov replied: "If you can't find it, there is no need to check it! I think the most important thing is to make up for it! We should strengthen the secrecy work of the third part, improve various rules, and ensure that no one dares to leak secrets in the future. Make sure that after someone leaks the secret, you can follow the map to find out the evidence!"

Alexander II nodded. This should be done and can be done, otherwise there may be some jokes in the future. But what does this matter have to do with the capture of Duke Vladimir?

Count Shuvanov honestly admitted: "The relationship is not very big. I just sent it out of my feelings. I feel that it is necessary to improve the workflow and rules of the third part... As for the case of Duke Vladimir, I think it is now It is meaningless to dwell on who leaked the secret, and the focus of the next work should be on how the duke escaped arrest!"

Alexander II was stunned, and said in surprise, "Then how did you say he escaped arrest?"

Count Shuvanov nodded and said: "I have some guesses about this. How did he escape from being captured in the first place? I think someone should have tipped him off, and this person is most likely Maria Mulla. Countess de Beauvoir! Only she has the ability and motivation to help that duke!"
