Struggle in Russia

Alexander II nodded with difficulty, and finally decided not to pursue the rumor issue immediately, but everyone could see that he was not willing to do so, because he immediately said: "Okay, Count, you are right. This matter Let’s put it down for now, but after solving the problem of Grand Duke Constantine, we must severely punish these nonsense bastards!”

Count Rostovtsev did not speak, bowed and then returned to his original position.

Because this is not his job, Pobedonostsev and the third part are the most suitable ones to achieve the effect Alexander II wants!

Pobedonostsev didn't say anything, because this was his job. Although it was a little dirty, it was easy to win the favor of the tsar.

This turmoil has come to an end, but it has left one tail, that is, Alexander II increasingly hated the reformists and Nikolai Milyutin.

In his opinion, these despicable rumors were caused by them. In order to achieve the "ulterior" purpose, they even used such despicable means and slandered him as a king. How could he bear this!

Anyway, he has already written down a lot of things in the little notebook in his heart, vowing to take revenge in the future!

So are these rumors really spread by Nikolay Milutin or Li Xiao?

It can only be said that the two of them took the blame for others. Although Nikolai Milyutin insisted on reforms, his loyalty to Alexander II is still evident.

How could he possibly spread such rumors to discredit Alexander II?

As for Li Xiao, although he could do such a thing, he was not forced to do so. Besides, he also knew that doing so was a crazy temptation on the verge of death. He was not ready to confront Alexander II, how could it be possible? So unwise?

Naturally these rumors have nothing to do with them. The real mastermind behind the scenes is Nelidova!

This woman was so disgusted by Alexander II's mother that she was so angry that she had nowhere to vent her anger. She has a bold personality and dares to do anything. She also has a wide social circle and connections. It is not easy for her to spread rumors.

This time she also saw the right opportunity. She knew that the reformists were at odds with Alexander II, and figured that they could muddy the waters and make Alexander II and his son suffer a loss, so she took action decisively!

It must be said that her timing was perfect, and Count Rostovtsev and others really dissuaded Alexander II from further investigation.

Although she left a trail of settling scores, the blame was taken over by Nikolay Milutin and Li Xiao. It was no big deal for her to hide behind the scenes!

But Count Kleinmicher was shocked when he got the news, especially when he heard that Alexander II was about to go berserk, but Count Rostovtsev had to go to great lengths to persuade him. After staying, my back was wet with cold sweat.

"You are too dangerous this time. If it weren't for Count Rostovtsev, you would have been imprisoned in the Peter and Paul Fortress by now!"

Neridova was actually a little scared when faced with Count Kleinmicher's scolding. She didn't expect Alexander II to be so angry, and knew that this time she was treading a dangerous line.

However, there is no reason at all for a woman's petty temper, and it can cause trouble even if it is unreasonable. Naturally, she was not afraid at all, and immediately retorted to Count Kleinmicher:

"Why, we can only endure this bad breath and allow them to bully us? It's not like you haven't seen how much their mother and son have gone too far. You can't bear it if you don't help us but still scold me!"

Looking at the pear-shaped Nelidova, Count Kleinmicher sighed helplessly. He just couldn't cope with this woman crying. When he saw her like this, his heart felt like it was being rubbed heavily.

"Okay, okay, don't cry. I didn't say anything... I just think it's too dangerous. If His Majesty insists on pursuing it, have you ever thought about what the result will be?"

"The Queen Mother is very cautious. If she knows that it is you who is causing trouble, do you think she will let you go?"

Neridova shuddered in her heart. She knew very well how insidious the empress dowager was. She was a typical representative of a smiling tiger with a sharp mouth but a sharp heart.

She will definitely let the third subordinate beat her behind her back and she will never give up until she is killed!

Neridova frowned and asked: "Your Majesty, do you mean to pursue it in the future?"

Count Kleinmicher hummed: "That's what he said. I'm also worried about this. How about I use Pobedonostsev's connections and let him try to fool him?"

Neridova immediately rolled her eyes: "You're stupid! That guy is also a man. If you go to him, doesn't it mean that you're inviting trouble?"

Kleinmicher frowned and said, "What should we do?"

Neridova thought for a moment: "You go to Count Rostovtsev. I guess that old fox must know that I did it. He also has the resources for the third part, so it shouldn't be a problem to help cover it up!"

Count Kleinmicher couldn't laugh or cry: "He can help cover it up~www.readwn.com~ But the problem is that you have caused big trouble for the reformists this time and let them take the blame for this. How can I not settle it with you? How can I help you?"

Neridova rolled her eyes again: "You think he won't settle accounts with me if you don't go to him? You go to him to explain the situation and make a deal, and the matter will be settled!"

Count Kleinmicher snorted. He really didn't understand this, but there was one thing he was good about, and that was being obedient.

He did whatever Neridova asked him to do, and without saying a word he found Count Rostovtsev.

"This matter is easy to solve," Count Rostovtsev seemed to be waiting for him, and asked slowly: "But the question is, what can you do for us?"

Count Kleinmicher was hesitating and couldn't speak, because Neridova told him that Count Rostovtsev would definitely ask this question. He only needed to tell the other party that he could help spread gossip, disrupt the view, and guide public opinion. good.

To be honest, Count Kleinmicher feels that this condition is really not enough. After all, who is Count Rostovtsev? Does he need others to guide public opinion?

An old **** like him can instruct dozens or hundreds of people to spread rumors with just a flick of his finger, which is much more powerful than Neridova!

But who got Nelidova into trouble? He could only forcefully negotiate the conditions, and made up his mind that if Count Rostovtsev did not agree, he would go out in person or risk his own life to help this person do some more dangerous work.

But he didn't expect Count Rostovtsev to agree immediately without any intention of making any conditions, so he was immediately confused...
