Struggle in Russia

【Struggle in Tsarist Russia】【】

Chapter 1319 Do you have any ideas? Page (1/2) Li Xiao looked at Alexei in surprise. Duke Alexander Gorchakov didn’t want Leonid to come back. This It's a bit strange for my father to take it seriously.

Ordinarily, Duke Alexander can be regarded as the new rich man of the day if he doesn't say that he has all the power in the government. Anyone who is not blind knows that the future Prime Minister and Foreign Minister will belong to him. The last person to amass such great power was Count Neserrodie.

That count ruled Russia for nearly forty years. With Duke Alexander's age and authority, almost no one could compare with him within twenty years, not to mention!

Such a big boss has to train his own son no matter what. Even if Leonid is not the eldest son, he is still his son. Now is the time to employ people. Hurry up and give Leonid a good position. Isn't it serious?

But it seems that Duke Alexander actually wants Leonid to stay abroad. What does this mean?

It wasn't just Li Xiao and Alexei who couldn't figure it out. In fact, Prince Mikhail felt that his brother was a bit confused.

"Although Liao Niya is a bit stubborn, he is generally a good boy. As the saying goes, father and son go into battle. Wouldn't it be nice to have him come back to help you?"

Duke Alexander shook his head and said: "Lionia is indeed a good boy and capable, but his abilities and problems are too outstanding. Not only will he not be able to help me when he comes back, but he will cause more trouble. It is better to let him stay abroad." Learn more and avoid being so naive every day!"

Prince Mikhail frowned and said: "Lyonia is indeed a bit serious, but it won't cause trouble, right?"

Duke Alexander continued to shake his head and said: "His character is only suitable for staying in the army. In the next ten years, our focus will not be on the army. He will have nothing to do when he comes back... What's more, he is famous for his stubbornness and his desire to reform. Xu, don’t talk about a lot of things about him, even I have to be careful...His straight-faced character can easily cause trouble by talking nonsense, and in the end, not only will he not be able to help, but he will disrupt my rhythm!"

Prince Mikhail was silent. What Duke Alexander said was right. Leonid was just such a person. He was too serious and not tactful enough. Now the reformist conservatives are almost losing their minds. The last thing they need is a stubborn mind to do bad things. , otherwise Duke Alexander would not have to do anything every day, and mediating issues would be enough to kill him.

And Duke Alexander continued: "What's more, I have just taken power, and there are too many people who are not convinced by me inside and outside. What I need is someone who can help me control the situation, rather than create trouble. Simply It would be more appropriate to let him stay outside under the pretext of avoiding suspicion, and then let him come back when the situation is stable in the future!"

Prince Mikhail nodded silently. Based on this analysis, it would indeed be more beneficial for Leonid to stay abroad, but with Leonid's temper, it would be strange if he could be obedient!

Thinking of this, Prince Mikhail smiled bitterly and said: "The problem is that he has come back. It seems that he does not intend to obey your arrangements at all. What are you going to do?"

Duke Alexander spread his hands helplessly: "What can I do? His disobedience is not a matter of a day or two. With his temper, he will never listen to me. The only solution for now is to keep him away from St. Petersburg, a place of right and wrong." , the further away the better! And that’s why I came to you!”

Prince Mikhail was suddenly enlightened. As acting Minister of War, he was responsible for the promotion and transfer of army officers across the country. Theoretically speaking, he has all the personnel information in one hand, and with his ability, it would be easy for Leonid to take him away.

But this thing is really not that simple!

The reason is that Alexander II also had a hand in this matter. I don’t know what the tsar thought. Maybe he really admired Leonid or maybe he was trying to win over Duke Alexander in disguise. He specially issued an order to prepare. Let Leonid serve as military attaché.

Although this position does not hold military power, he is with the Tsar every day and is not an ordinary close relative.

And this brought about a huge problem, even if Prince Mikhail wanted to get rid of it for him!

He sighed and said: "Unless Lonya refuses, he will definitely stay in St. Petersburg, and he will have to stay in the Winter Palace every day!"

Duke Alexander rubbed his temples. The last thing he wanted to see was this situation. Where is the Winter Palace? To put it bluntly, it is the Shura Field where the most clever, slippery and bad people in the world gather.

There are intrigues going on there all the time. How could he not know what level Leonid was, or he might be eaten alive by those old foxes until even the bones are left!

This is not his biggest worry. He is worried that his overly straightforward son will be played by a group of old foxes like a fool, and indirectly become a loophole to undermine his governance.

Just the thought of having such a stinky chess player as a teammate, Prince Alexander, makes him full of worries about the future!

"Can't you think of a way to get His Majesty to give up this idea?" Duke Alexander asked with a grimace.

Prince Mikhail replied dumbfounded: "What can I do? You, the Prime Minister, can't do anything. UU Readingｗww.uukaｎshu.com What can I, a half-time Minister of War, do? I think His Majesty's attitude is very firm. , he is determined to make Liao Niyadan serve as the military attaché...I would say this is his strategy, just to contain you!"

Duke Alexander immediately fell silent. He also had some doubts. With Alexander II's skill, he could indeed make such an arrangement.

Thinking about it, His Majesty is actually unwilling to reform. If the reformists were not too strong and forced him to have no choice, he would never do it.

Chapter 1,319: Do you have any ideas? (2/2) Sniffing and agreeing to reform.

But agreeing does not mean that he is willing to cooperate. He has racked his brains to find ways to disrupt the reform process, and setting up obstacles to the reform is an inevitable method.

As a prime minister who leans toward liberalism, he must also be on guard against it. How to tie his hands and feet or restrain him from leaning too far toward the reformists is definitely a key research topic for Alexander II.

And now His Majesty made his first move, which was to start from Leonid and deliberately drag a pig teammate to create trouble for Duke Alexander!

After thinking about it, Duke Alexander didn't have any solution to the problem, so he could only sigh and said: "I will talk to Lonya one last time, hoping to convince him to be obedient!"

Prince Mikhail could hear that he was not sure at all. Sometimes he felt that Duke Alexander was quite pitiful, and there was nothing he could do with such a son.

At this moment, Duke Alexander suddenly said: "Have you thought about what to do in Ukraine?"
