Struggle in Russia

Duke Dolgoruki was still a little proud, thinking that if he took the initiative to attack, he would be the first to win. At least one thing he can confirm is that there is absolutely no problem with what he said. The rebellion in Ukraine is the best excuse to attack the reformists.

So has his goal been achieved?

It can only be said to be unsatisfactory. Perhaps for those simple-minded guys who are habitually hostile to reformists, his words are very reasonable and pleasant, almost equal to the truth.

But this kind of people does not occupy the mainstream among conservatives. It is not that there are not enough conservatives who are hostile to reforms. In fact, almost all conservatives are hostile to reforms. The difference is that some people have brains and some don't.

Most of those who agree with Duke Dolgoruky belong to the category of no brains or simple minds.

People with real brains know that hostility is hostility, but hostility does not mean rushing forward to reformists foolishly. In the current turmoil, such a reckless rush may only be used as cannon fodder.

Naturally, these guys will not foolishly agree, even if they echo twice, they are mostly in the mentality of encouraging others to die.

Everyone understands that a dead fellow Daoist never dies a poor Taoist.

As for the core of the conservatives who are also in power, they didn't say anything at all, and they just pretended not to hear Duke Dolgoruki's speech.

For a while, the audience was a little lively, but the stage was quiet. Duke Dolgoruky frowned, a little unhappy. He felt that Count Uvarov and his gang deliberately did not give him face, even with such a simple reason. Don't agree, what does this mean?

Of course, he didn't rush forward to ask questions foolishly, and after a little pondering, he said to Pobedonostsev solemnly: "Count, what's your opinion?"

Pobedonostsev glanced at him with neither good nor bad attitude.

After a long while, he replied slowly: "I don't have any attitude. If you think this is an opportunity, then you can take the lead and show some color to those free elements."

After he finished speaking, he leaned on the back of the chair with an expression like I was just watching a show.

This made Duke Dolgoruky very angry. The reason why he first talked to Pobedonostsev was because he felt that everyone belonged to the young and strong faction and was the enemy of Count Uvarov, so we should work together and agree first. foreign.

As long as Pobedonostsev nods, and he encourages him again, the following group of people will follow their side. At that time, Count Uvarov will be left alone, and he can seize power!

But who would have thought that Pobedonostsev would not cooperate at all, do you still have a big picture, no wonder you can only be the second in command of our young men!

Well, slander is useless. Pobedonostsev's attitude of throwing his hands away as the shopkeeper made it clear that he would not cooperate, which made Duke Dolgoruky's unanimous foreign plan come to an end just as soon as it started.

Next, he would either take the initiative to roll up his sleeves and start a fight with Count Uvarov, or he would just sit and watch Count Uvarov's performance.

But he didn't like these two options. He didn't have the guts to go directly to Count Uvarov, mainly because he was really reckless. To be honest, unless Bariatinsky came, no one in this group of people would be his opponent alone.

But he was not reconciled to letting Duke Dolgoruki watch Count Uvarov's performance without doing anything. After thinking about it, he turned his head carefully and said to Count Uvarov: "Count, what do you mean?" ?”

This is a temptation, and it is also a trick he plays. In his opinion, Earl Uvarov is unlikely to oppose his proposal. With the earl's consistent hatred of reform, he will inevitably choose to attack the reformers.

In this way, we can only go along with his proposal, and in that case, his proposal will naturally be passed smoothly, and everyone will naturally remember him as the initiator!

But Duke Dolgoruki miscalculated again, because Count Uvarov snorted: "If you want to die, I won't stop you!"

These words were tantamount to a slap in the face, and Duke Dolgoruky was almost stunned. He couldn't figure out why Count Uvarov disagreed! .

Why!

Immediately, he became impatient and shouted: "You let me down too much. You let the opportunity slip away at such a critical moment. I think you are scared out of your wits by those free elements!"

Count Uvarov squinted at him, his eyes full of disdain, and he reacted calmly to Duke Dolgoruky's accusation, just like watching a dog bark.

"Do you think this is a good opportunity?"

After Duke Dolgorudin finished cursing, Count Uvarov asked calmly.

"Isn't it? As long as we..."

Count Uvarov interrupted him: "As long as you bump into it stupidly, you will be cleaned up by those free elements in minutes!"

Count Uvarov stared at him and taught: "Opportunity? I really don't know how you can see that this is an opportunity! This is our reminder!"

It was not only Duke Dolgoruky who was dumbfounded ~www.readwn.com~ Those simple-minded fools around him stared straight. They could understand every word Count Uvarov said, but how could they connect it together? Is it that confusing?

Why not a good chance?

"Didn't you find out? From the beginning of the Ukrainian rebellion, those liberal elements took the opportunity to attack us, saying that it was because of our oppression of those serfs that they revolted. If the serf system is not abolished, there will be more serfs in the future Riot. They have already given us all the responsibility!"

Count Uvarov glared at Duke Dolgoruky fiercely and said, "You work in the third department, what do you do all day long? Don't tell me you didn't hear these terrible rumors, but what did you do? "

"No, you didn't do anything, let these rumors spread, and now the whole St. Petersburg is discussing the rebellion and the abolition of slavery. You think this is a good thing!"

Just as Prince Dolgoruky was about to explain something, Pobedonostsev interjected: "Of course this is not a good thing, but these rumors are fierce. I tried to stop them, but it was meaningless. Obviously, the forces of those liberal elements It is much bigger than we imagined, at least in terms of public opinion, it is far beyond us!"

Count Uvarov glanced at him, then stared at Duke Dolgoruky and said: "Have you heard that, now think about it when the public opinion is extremely unfavorable to us, you foolishly rushed to talk about the Ukrainian rebellion It's all the responsibility of the liberals, can this kind of nonsense be trusted by His Majesty?"

He said with a sneer: "I'm afraid His Majesty will think that you are shirking responsibility and avoiding the problem, and then the group of liberal elements swarmed up again. Do you think there is hope of winning?!"
