Struggle in Russia

【Struggle in Tsarist Russia】【】

Li Xiao looked at Alexey with a smile and asked sincerely: "Do you think I am such a person? I would ignore the overall situation because of a little personal grudge?"

Alexey suddenly stopped talking, because Li Xiaozhen had never done such a thing. A certain person always safeguards the overall situation and would rather sacrifice his own interests when necessary than do selfish things. However, Grand Duke Constantine and his group never have an overall view of the overall situation and only care about their own interests and emotional chaos regardless of the occasion or time. Do it.

Li Xiao looked into his eyes and said: "I know what you are worried about. I emphasize for the last time that I am not that kind of person... What's more, if I don't take action this time, those intellectuals and scholars will lose their skin. !”

Alexey was stunned again and asked, "What do you mean?"

Li Xiao explained earnestly: "As I said just now, the reason why the third part has been allowing Archduke Constantine to mess around and letting those intellectuals and scholars who speak unabashedly jump up and down is because he is preparing to play a long game to catch the big fish."

Alexei's heart skipped a beat as he thought of a very bad possibility. That is Alexander II. If he wants to take something, he must give it first, deliberately indulging Grand Duke Constantine.

When Archduke Constantine gets more and more outrageous and steps on the red line, he will decisively take action to settle the accounts in one go!

This move is too poisonous!

If Alexander II really succeeds, it will not only be the Grand Duke Constantine who will suffer heavy losses, but also a large number of scholars and intellectuals will be implicated. Hundreds of thousands of people may have to go to Siberia to repair the earth again.

Once this becomes a reality, the blow to the reformists will be huge.

"What do you mean?" Alexey was anxious.

Li Xiao smiled and said: "I just sounded the alarm for them in advance and told them to stop seeking death!"

Alexei couldn't say anything for a moment, and then he understood Li Xiao's painstaking efforts. He sighed: "If Grand Duke Constantine was as concerned about the overall situation as you are, how could he be like this!"

Li Xiao doesn't completely agree with this. Where there are people, there are rivers and lakes, and where there are rivers and lakes, there will be interest disputes.

The reformist faction has never been monolithic. Each faction has its own pursuit of interests. Even if there is no Archduke Constantine, someone else will jump out and act like a monster.

As the saying goes, there is no party outside the party and the emperor's ideology. There are many strange factions within the party, not to mention that the so-called reformists are not a party at all. They don't even have a unified program. To put it bluntly, they are worse than gangs. If it were not for the strength of the conservatives It's too strong, even a group of people talking to themselves can't get together.

Anyway, Li Xiao doesn't think highly of this group of people at all. They alone can't even hope to complete the great cause of reform and push Russia onto the right path.

Therefore, he does not place much hope on the reformists at all. The reason why he is willing to safeguard the overall situation at present is mainly due to interests.

If the conservatives are allowed to continue to dominate and control the discourse, the authority of the Tsar will be unshakable. Alexander II will definitely try every means to make things difficult for him just like his father.

Only by attacking the conservatives to limit the power of the Czar and putting Alexander II in a cage could he have a better life and be more relaxed and free. For his own happy life, he can only help the reformists!

As for the conservatives who are weakened and no longer pose a threat in the future, Li Xiao will not hang out with this group of pig teammates who have high ambitions and low abilities.

However, this obviously cannot be achieved in a year or two, so naturally he can only try his best to help the reformists avoid pitfalls.

A few days later, the St. Petersburg "Voice of Liberty" was closed down by the military police of the Third Department on the grounds that it had slandered the royal family and confused people's hearts. More than a dozen people from the newspaper, including the editor-in-chief and editor, were imprisoned in the Peter and Paul Fortress prison, awaiting trial in court.

This incident happened so suddenly that the reformists, especially the noisy intellectuals, were stunned.

Because "Voice of Liberty" is not a tabloid, but a large newspaper with a daily circulation of about 5,000 copies.

And who doesn’t know that Grand Duke Constantine is the backstage boss of the newspaper? Now, someone actually dares to openly arrest people without giving face to Grand Duke Constantine and the reformists. Is this amazing?

The public opinion was boiling for a while. Intellectuals and scholars shared the same hatred and frantically greeted the third part of St. Petersburg with rhetoric and constant greetings to the eighteen generations of the third part's savvy ancestors, including Li Xiao.

Many emotional intellectuals and scholars went directly to Grand Duke Constantine and strongly demanded that Grand Duke Constantine come forward to uphold justice.

"Hahaha, Viscount, as you expected, that **** couldn't keep his temper and was fooled!"

Behind closed doors, Grand Duke Constantine showed no sign of anger. He was as happy as a morning glory and smiled so boldly.

"Next, as you said, we will continue to mobilize public opinion, point all the fingers at that bastard, and drown him in one breath!"

Viscount Prozolov was also very happy. He was actually prepared for Li Xiao to pretend to be a grandson, because he would definitely pretend to be a grandson in such a situation.

But who would have thought that someone would be so hard-headed that he would actually be tough? This is probably God helping me!

He smiled reservedly and said: "Yes, all we need to do next is to mobilize public opinion. I estimate that in a few days he will become a rat crossing the street and everyone will beat him up... But you must also pay attention, UU Reading www.uukanshu.com If Count Nikolai Milyutin steps forward to speak for him, you must restrain yourself and never conflict with the count!"

Grand Duke Constantine was actually quite unhappy. It would be great if we could take the opportunity to teach Nikolay Milyutin a lesson, just to repay the last humiliation in every possible way!

However, he still had to listen to what Viscount Prozolov said, so he could only snort: "Okay, I will listen to you and give him some face!"

Does Nikolai Milyutin need face from Grand Duke Constantine?

Strictly speaking, no need. When he heard what Li Xiao did, he was surprised and worried. As the Minister of the Interior, he is very well-informed. Recently, he has always felt that something is wrong. Based on his understanding of Alexander II, how could the Tsar allow so many evil voices to orchestrate him?

So he had been observing Alexander II, fearing that the tsar would make a surprise attack. Of course, he also persuaded some intellectuals with relatively good connections and relatively high status on various occasions, warning them to pay attention to their sense of propriety.

It's just that the effect of this warning is not ideal. These guys have gone crazy. The most important thing is that even though they continue to test Alexander II on the verge of death, there is no response. This makes them more and more unscrupulous in thinking that the Tsar is really I was afraid of them, so I became even more forgetful.

He was very worried about this situation, but he didn't have a good solution. Suddenly, Li Xiao stabbed him diagonally and did this, and he immediately realized that there must be a deep meaning in it!
