Struggle in Russia

Now Count Kleinmicher understood everything. Alexander II was not angry or depressed at all, but was taking the opportunity to test. The purpose was to see if he and Count Rostovtsev were like the lucky ministers outside who only said nice things to please him.

To put it bluntly, it is to see if they are really honest.

Is Count Kleinmicher honest?

He must be dishonest. Honest people simply cannot survive in the officialdom. No matter how honest a person is, he will be nurtured into a cunning and cunning person once he enters that environment.

It can only be said that Count Kleinmicher is a less cunning existence among this group of veterans, and is relatively honest.

Count Kleinmicher wiped the sweat in his heart and replied with fear: "Your Majesty, this is your family matter. Logically speaking, I should not interrupt, but I feel that although Grand Duke Constantine made a mistake, after all, He is your brother, and you should be tolerant no matter what...otherwise there will be criticism from the outside world. In my opinion, if His Highness the Grand Duke Constantine’s demands are not excessive, you should lend a helping hand."

His words are not much different from what Count Rostovtsev meant. The only difference is that he seems more inclined to help Grand Duke Constantine, while Count Rostovtsev seems to be more neutral and "chicken thief" .

Alexander II nodded, not knowing whether he agreed or disagreed, but he still made no move and seemed to have no intention of summoning Grand Duke Constantine immediately. Did they guess this person's thoughts wrongly?

In fact, it was not the case. Alexander II's performance just now was more of a test. He had already made a plan on how to deal with Grand Duke Constantine. He must help, otherwise all the previous work would be in vain. What's more, if a person who lost so much in the St. Petersburg District Court does not regain his position, the whole of Russia will think that he is afraid of those reformist bastards!

Even if it was to establish his authority, he had to help Archduke Constantine! We must resolutely fight for a turnaround!

But he was a little unwilling to be "taken advantage of" by Grand Duke Constantine in vain. For him, it was okay to help, but not in vain!

Therefore, he was somewhat unbalanced, so he could only satisfy himself by scolding Archduke Constantine in front of his confidants. By the way, I can also test the hearts of my confidants. Isn't this also killing two birds with one stone?

All I can say is that this person is so hypocritical that he even wants to make a name for himself with such nonsense.

After a while, Alexander II pretended to sigh: "Forget it, you are right, who made him my younger brother? The older brother always has to suffer...Ivan, let him come in!"

Count Kleinmicher's heart had just returned to his stomach when he heard Alexander II say again: "This brother of mine is full of evil ideas, and his ambition will bring disaster sooner or later... He has been following him in the past few years. I was against him, relying on his father's favor to incite those liberal elements to make nonsense! Now that the liberal elements are causing such trouble, most of the responsibility lies with him!"

This is a bit too flattering to Grand Duke Constantine. Although Archduke Constantine's support for the reformists was important in the era of Nicholas I, it was far from indispensable. He did not strengthen the reformists by himself, nor did he lead the reformists to become bigger step by step.
