Struggle in Russia

Alexander II became more and more obsessed with the power in his hands, and he began to look more and more like his father, starting to look like a real emperor, not a crying crown prince.

He is more and more aware of the importance of power, and any behavior that undermines his power will not be tolerated. Even if the situation forced him to be patient, he would still record this debt, and he must repay it twice in the future.

Count Shuvanov made such a mistake. He thought he had given Alexander II a good solution to the trouble. But I didn't expect that Alexander II actually didn't like this so-called good method.

Thinking about it, the majestic emperor can't even deal with a crappy duke who is robbing him of a woman, and he has to tolerate people jumping up and down and disturbing him, not to mention the emperor, even an ordinary man can't stand it, okay?

But Count Rostovtsev was different. He basically grasped the psychology of Alexander II, said the right thing at the right time, and then gained the emperor's love and trust.

You look at him, did he really do anything? Any ideas really?

No, he has no ideas, no suggestions, look at what he said, it is really the same as what Pobedonostsev, Duke Dolgoruky and Count Shuvanov said before What's the difference?

nothing! The only thing he did was to seize the opportunity to cater to Alexander II's mind.

But he happened to be the only one among these few who gained the trust of Alexander II. What do you call this?

Alexander II let out a breath of foul breath, feeling refreshed, no pain in his head, no aggrieved heart, he asked happily: "Do you mean to continue the current strategy and continue to exert pressure until that **** collapses? ?”

Count Rostovtsev replied: "This is the most upright strategy, that is to crush it uprightly, and completely grind those dregs into powder!"

Alexander II nodded, and asked again, "Is there any way to speed up this process?"

Count Rostovtsev replied calmly: "Then we must invest more manpower and material resources! For example, let the army join the search, but this will also attract widespread attention."

Alexander II weighed it for a moment and gave up this idea: "This is still too ostentatious, and it is easy to cause chaos. The last thing we need now is turmoil!"

Count Rostovtsev didn't speak, and just stood there calmly, as if he was waiting for Alexander II's order, but he seemed to be just dozing off.

Before Alexander II ascended the throne, he would definitely not like such a state. He felt that such a courtier was too old and lifeless, and almost half of his body was buried in the soil.

But after being the emperor for a while, he realized that this kind of courtier who usually looks like a sleepy bug is the cutest. He doesn't matter much or even talk much, usually he doesn't need to worry about it, if there is something to do, just tell him to put his head down, what a lovely person!

"Can you put pressure on Countess Maria Murapova?" Alexander II asked cautiously, "Count Shuvanov thinks that Duke Vladimir must be hidden by her. Just ask and you will find Duke Vladimir..."

"Yes!" Count Rostovtsev replied solemnly, "but I don't recommend it!"

Alexander II wondered, "Why?"

"Because Countess Maria Murapova is your Majesty's friend after all," Count Rostovtsev replied calmly, "You should not be too harsh on friends, even those who have made mistakes. If If you do that, what will others think of you, and who will dare to be friends with you in the future?"

After a short pause, he continued: "What's more, doing so will make the scene ugly!"

Alexander II understood, it is not impossible to put pressure on Countess Maria Murapova, but pressure will inevitably have some unsightly actions, these actions will bring about a chain reaction, and people outside will gossip , and when he hooks up with other confidante in the future, they will also remember this incident. These people have to consider whether they will end up like Countess Maria Murapova if they offend you, the emperor, in the future In the end, it might not be so easy for you to hook up with a confidante in the future!

This is no joke. European aristocrats, especially high-ranking aristocrats, have many weird unspoken rules in the matter of "cheating love". One of the most important ones is that you love me, as long as the woman doesn't nod, even if you are the emperor, you can't overpower the king.

People have the right to refuse, so even if Alexander II goes to hook up with girls, he still needs technical means to coax them, and he can't go over in a stubborn manner.

Once these women think that flirting with Alexander II is too risky, they can really let him hang there~www.readwn.com~ So Alexander II really can't treat Countess Maria Murapova too hard Like what Earl Shuvanov said before, torturing him is simply cutting himself off from love, so he definitely can't do that.

So how to make Countess Maria Murapova afraid, but not make outsiders think that Alexander II is too much, this kind of proper pressure is particularly difficult to grasp.

Count Rostovtsev then bluntly told Alexander II that this is impossible and it is best to be cautious.

Alexander II understood, he smiled awkwardly, and asked calmly, "Can't you do it too?"

Count Rostovtsev shook his head and said: "What I can do is probably similar to Count Shuvanov, that is, to have a good chat with the countess, try to clarify the stakes, and let Duke Vladimir Take the initiative to stand up and admit your mistakes!"

Alexander II froze for a moment. If his ears were fine, he remembered that Count Shuvanov's statement was to let Duke Vladimir stand up and clarify the facts, while Count Rostovtsev's statement was to admit his mistakes.

This is a world of difference. If it is an admission of mistakes, then Alexander II can really accept it. After all, has he saved his face?

Immediately, he said anxiously: "Then I will ask you at this time..."

But Count Rostovtsev interrupted him: "Your Majesty, I haven't finished talking just now. Although you can do this, I still don't recommend you to do it!"

Alexander II asked in amazement, "Why is that?"

Count Rostovtsev replied frankly: "First, this is still not an upright approach. Second, I think the countess may not be as easy to deal with as Count Shuvanov imagined!"
