Struggle in Russia

Why is Count Rostovtsev so happy?

The reason is very simple. The conditions given by Neridova are indeed not generous and are not proportional to his efforts. But there is one thing, this is the first time she has proactively proposed a transaction, which represents a trend.

That's how people are, it's hard to go back to something once you've started it. After the first time, there will be a second time and then there will be an countless number of times.

To put it bluntly, as long as Neridova opens this hole, she will really have to sit in the same boat with Count Rostovtsev.

Now that Nelidova is on board, can Count Kleinmicher buy the ticket?

To put it bluntly, Count Rostovtsev was just giving some benefits to his future shipmates so that they could board the pirate ship with peace of mind.

He said to Count Kleinmicher: "Count, please tell that lady, please tell her to talk more about Alexander I in the circle of friends recently, especially the man who is very similar to him." I believe everyone will like the story of Feodor Kuzmic!"

Count Kleinmicher's eyes widened and he looked at Count Rostovtsev in disbelief. He had no idea what medicine the count was selling in his gourd.

Who is Fyodor Kuzmich?

According to folklore, this is actually Alexander I who faked his death. After all, Alexander I's death was extremely sudden and strange, which led to various speculations at that time.

And this Fyodor Kuzmich was graceful, elegant, and extraordinary in appearance, just like Alexander I. What is even more imaginative is that he is well aware of high-level political events, and can vividly describe the scene of the Russian army entering Paris. He can even tell the names and situations of the Czar's entourage one by one at the time. He even often receives messages from a man named Marie. Money and goods sent by Lia Fedorovna (the name of Alexander I’s mother).

Since then, there have been various legends. Many nobles privately said that Alexander I felt guilty for the death of Paul I for the rest of his life, so he faked his death and became a hermit.

However, these legends are just a pastime for the nobles of St. Petersburg. Even if Alexander I really faked his death and lived in seclusion, they would just treat him as dead.

In fact, more than thirty years have passed since the death of Alexander I. Whether he is dead or alive has no decisive impact on politics and officialdom.

At this time, Count Rostovtsev suddenly and solemnly asked Neridova to pass on the gossip about Fedor Kuzmich. What does it mean?

Count Kleinmicher would not think that Count Rostovtsev would do anything in vain. Since he must have a purpose in ordering this specifically, what exactly did he want to do?

However, Count Rostovtsev had no intention of explaining, and Count Kleinmicher could only go back to Neridova with a lot of questions.

"What's so unpredictable about this!" Neridova explained indifferently after hearing his doubts: "It's not that I spread the gossip about Nicholas I and Grand Duke Constantine before, I must use something else. Such gossip is confusing the public!"

Count Kleinmicher was stunned. Is this what you meant?

But this is indeed a way to do it, disrupt the audio and visual, interfere with the line of sight, and then keep beating the drum on the side, and the matter will be fooled!

Count Kleinmicher secretly breathed a sigh of relief when he thought of this, but he didn't notice the corners of Nelidova's lips turning up, otherwise she wouldn't be so naive.

Obviously things are not that simple. How could Count Rostovtsev's intentions be so simple?

But Nelidova's ability to understand Count Rostovtsev's intentions is enough to prove her power.

However, for the nobles and big heads of St. Petersburg, the current focus of attention is obviously not the gossip about Feodor Kuzmich. The pressure of the impending rain made them nervous, fearing that someone bad would be implicated and minced into a pulp.

Of course, there are also some brave guys who dare to take risks for fear of instability in the world, and they are beginning to have the idea to fish in troubled waters.

For example, Count Shuvanov was bold, bold, and powerful, and more importantly, he was extremely ambitious.

"Gentlemen, the situation is obvious. This is a decisive battle between Your Majesty and those liberal elements. As ministers loyal to Your Majesty, we should bravely stand up and fight for Your Majesty!"

Under his clever instigation, a group of hesitant conservatives strengthened their beliefs and decided to stand up and retreat with Alexander I.

However, not everyone was inspired by him. For example, little Adlerberg waited for the crowd to disperse and smiled at him: "Count, do you really think your Majesty can win?"

Count Shuvanov replied solemnly: "Of course, God bless Your Majesty, no one can resist His Majesty's will, and any monsters and monsters will only be wiped out under His Majesty's blow!"

The smile on little Adlerberg's face became more and more obvious ~ www.readwn.com ~ It can be seen that he did not believe this nonsense at all.

If no demon or monster can be an opponent of the Tsar's will, then how did Peter III and Paul I die?

Was he killed by divine punishment?

This kind of words can also deceive the fools outside, and it is impossible to fool him!

Seeing that little Adlerberg was not fooled, Count Shuvanov suddenly laughed: "Don't you already know the answer? Your Majesty is unlikely to win, but as ministers, we must share your worries for Your Majesty, right?"

Little Adlerberg smiled even brighter, as if he had seen something particularly happy.

"This is not the only way to share your Majesty's worries!" He said meaningfully, "What's more, if the people outside lose all their money, those who oppose the reform will suffer heavy losses!"

Count Shuvanov still replied seriously: "How can your majesty maintain our sacred tradition and our greatness without paying a price? If there is no sacrifice, how can the greatness of our cause be highlighted?"

Little Adlerberg said sincerely: "You are so evil! If the people outside know your true thoughts, I am afraid that I will kill you!"

Count Shuvanov chuckled and said: "They won't know, because their simple brains can't handle such a complex problem. Once they are all sacrificed, it won't matter if they know! You will never kindly remind them Bar?"

Little Adlerberg shook his head and said: "Don't worry, I won't. I also think their sacrifice is of great significance!"

Count Shuvanov put his hands on his hands and laughed and said: "Don't you think this is enough? His Majesty will be very pleased when he knows that we have done so much work to support him, and this is our biggest gain!"
