Struggle in Russia

Dmitry was eager to find someone to talk to. He would talk to Nikolai Milutin when he encountered a similar situation before. After all, brothers work together to cut money!

But as the two brothers' views on reform gradually diverged, and as he thought Nicholas was too conservative, there was less and less talk between them. ..

However, after his trip to Wallachia, the relationship between him and Li Xiao became much closer, and the two agreed on many things, so he decided to chat with Li Xiao about the rebellion.

Does Li Xiao know about the chaos in Ukraine?

Do you think you can hide this **** from him based on his relationship with Anton?

He not only knows but also knows the real situation on the ground, because Anton's request letter has been delivered to his desk, but he has the same attitude as Count Rostovtsev, and he doesn't pay much attention to the changes in Ukraine. good thing.

"Are you just worried that the Ukrainian rebels are getting out of hand? In my opinion, this possibility is extremely small, especially when Count Rostovtsev, as you said, is paying close attention to this matter. The possibility is too small!"

Just as Dmitry was about to speak, Li Xiao said again: "Of course I can understand your concerns. In my opinion, if you are really worried that the situation will worsen, you might as well ask His Majesty to go to Ukraine to suppress the rebellion!"

Dmitry was taken aback for a moment, he really didn't think in this direction. Indeed, if he is really worried, he should go there in person. Presumably based on his status in Alexander II's mind, if he reflects that the situation in Ukraine is indeed a mess, Alexander II will not take it seriously again, right?

Dmitry immediately wanted to go to the Winter Palace to make a report and go to Ukraine, but Li Xiao stopped him: "It is not suitable for you to go at this time! I suggest you wait for a while, and wait for the further deterioration of the situation in Ukraine to confirm your determination." It is more appropriate to go after certain prophecies!"

"Why?"

Li Xiao sighed: "If you go at this time, both His Majesty and Count Rostovtsev will be unhappy. The former will think that you are annoying if you make a fuss, while the latter will think that you will destroy his overall plan regardless of the overall situation. Are you going at this time?" Are you making fun of yourself?"

Dmitry stopped talking, because what Li Xiao said was right, he would definitely end up with such a result, but he just didn't want the motherland he loves to cause turmoil and chaos, so what can he do if he just can't let go of all this?

Li Xiao could only persuade again: "I can understand your worries and admire your patriotic enthusiasm, but to be honest, you'd better not do anything at this time, even if you do, there will be no results, you can't stop this Everything!"

This time Dmitry was completely silent. If doing something is the same as not doing it, what's the point of doing it? Although he expects to change all this through his own efforts, he knows in his heart that nothing can stop him.

Some people may say that even if there are thousands of difficulties and obstacles in the righteousness, even if you do it, there will be no difference, and you must do it.

There is nothing wrong with this principle, but the method is wrong. Everyone must have a bottom line and persistence, otherwise it will be no different from a slippery loach.

But having a bottom line and persistence does not mean that you should not talk about methods. Blindly being strong is easy to break. It is better to protect yourself and prepare when necessary.

Leonid did not understand this truth, but Dmitry did. So he understood Li Xiao's advice, temporarily suppressed his anxiety, and did not go to the Winter Palace recklessly. After returning home, he immediately found the map of Ukraine and the situation of the Ukrainian garrison. He had to learn more about it. If he is needed to counter the rebellion, he can act immediately without wasting any time.

But what Dmitry didn't know was that after he left, Li Xiao went straight to Count Rostovtsev: "I've already done what you said, and I've paid off the favor I owed last time!"

Count Rostovtsev raised his eyelids and replied, "What kind of favor is this? What's more, you owe me more than that once!"

Li Xiao knew that Earl Rostovtsev was not that easy to deal with, this old fox and ghost had calculated everything clearly, and it was wishful thinking to want to take advantage of him!

But he is not easy to deal with, he curled his lips and said: "Then I don't care, anyway, what you asked me to do has been done, and the favor has been settled. Next time you have something to do, you will owe me a favor! "

Count Rostovtsev rolled his eyes at him and said, "Dream!"

This is a bit irritating, but Li Xiao can't continue to bargain with him, because the other party doesn't like you at all, and with his status, it's really hard for you to agree to something.

"Are you going to let Dmitri go to suppress the rebellion?" Li Xiao asked suddenly.

Count Rostovtsev replied calmly: "You see?"

cut!

Li Xiao teased: "There's nothing you can't see~www.readwn.com~ Otherwise, you don't need me to say those things to Dmitry! You obviously want him to put down the rebellion, tsk tsk, you don't want to tell him It's not so good! Look at how he has opinions on you, and you give him such a big contribution, those who don't know think he is your godson!"

Count Rostovtsev gave him another look, this guy just can't say anything nice, vulgar! No wonder it is called a family disgrace!

"That's why you came here to tell me?" asked Count Rostovtsev.

"Of course not," Li Xiao suddenly asked solemnly, "Is the decisive battle with the conservative faction about to begin?"

Count Rostovtsev was taken aback. He really didn't expect Li Xiao to be able to see this. This guy's political sense is not ordinary!

"How did you find out?" he asked.

Li Xiao smiled contemptuously and said: "There's nothing you can't see. You let the chaos in Ukraine just want to deal a fatal blow to the conservatives! Just imagine, if there is nothing fatal enough to force my cousin to give in. His character is definitely not so easy to agree to reform, if you continue to drag it on, you may really be dragged down by him, and you must not wait foolishly!"

Count Rostovtsev did not speak, but at this moment, silence speaks volumes. Li Xiao knew that he had guessed correctly. The mess in Ukraine was the dagger that Count Rostovtsev stabbed at the conservatives. Pie's life!

It's just that he can't help but feel a little worried, because some weapons can kill the enemy if they are used well, but they will hurt themselves if they are not used well. In his opinion, the serf uprising in Ukraine has two sides.

Conservatives may also use this to make a fuss, and if it is not done well, it will become their best excuse to attack reform. This has to be guarded against!
