Did Pobedonostsev really not know what was going on?

This is untrue because he knows a little but not exactly.

He knew that it was Li Xiao who arrested the person, but he didn't fully understand why Li Xiao did this.

Of course he knows what Viscount Trubetskoy and his gang are doing, but he also feels that this kind of thing cannot be taken seriously. What's more, at this critical moment, the reformists must emphasize internal unity. It's impossible for there to be a wave of internal strife before the external enemies are dealt with, right? So when Li Xiao sent people to arrest Viscount Trubetskoy, he was dumbfounded and a little happy. He thinks that Li Xiao and the reformists are crazy, otherwise they would be able to do such stupid things? Since someone took the initiative to make a mistake, why should he stop him? Just turn a blind eye and pretend that nothing happened. Facing Alexander II's question, he responded lightly: "The arrester seems to be the St. Petersburg Department III. Do you want me to call their supervisor over and ask?"Alexander II was stunned. Of course he knew that Li Xiao was the director of the Third Department of St. Petersburg, but he really didn't know that it was the Third Department of St. Petersburg who did this. Is someone losing their mind and going crazy? Then he immediately understood why Nikolai Milyutin's attitude was so ambiguous. The relationship is like a fire in the backyard. Something is wrong internally! Alexander II immediately wanted to do something to add fuel to the fire. Should he take advantage of this opportunity to give some eye drops to the reformists and Li Xiao? After thinking about it, he ordered Duke Dolgoruky to find out why these people were arrested and find out what the specific charges were. It was not difficult for this matter to come to an end quickly, but Alexander II immediately fell silent when he saw the reason for Li Xiao's arrest. Viscount Trubetskoy and others were charged with one simple crime: deliberately slandering the Tsar. This crime can be serious or small. In the worst case, it is considered disrespectful and may lead to death. At least Alexander II was willing to do so. But, this kind of thing is too common in Russia today. After the Crimean War, who hasn't had a chance to complain? You can't just slap someone because they made a mistake after drinking too much cat urine, right? At least Alexander II couldn't do such an outrageous thing. But Li Xiao took advantage of this crime and made him feel uncomfortable. According to Alexander II's original idea, it was to ruin Li Xiao's good deeds. No matter what you want to do, I will let you If you can't do it, you will definitely be angry by then. But this crime is too harsh. If we really want to let him go, it doesn't mean that he has told the whole of Russia that he is spreading gossip about the emperor. Then he Where is the majesty? After thinking for a long time, he looked at Count Rostovtsev: "What do you think?"Of course Count Rostovtsev will not harm Li Xiao. It is a good thing, he replied calmly: "No matter what is best, it is related to your Majesty's dignity. The behavior of these people is indeed irredeemable!"Alexander II looked at Bobet again Donostsev, the latter thought about it and there was no need to ruin Li Xiao's good deeds. After all, everyone was still in the honeymoon period of cooperation, so he just wanted to save face, so he naturally nodded. Duke Dolgoruky looked at Alexander II eagerly, hoping to ask his opinion.

However, Alexander II obviously did not have this idea, and did not even have the desire to look at him. He said categorically: "Criminals like this type of rumors and slander must be severely punished. Tell the courts at all levels that they must be sentenced harshly and never be lenient! "

Yes, Alexander II was also petty. Since he couldn't give Li Xiao eye drops, he could only punish those big mouths. He has long been dissatisfied with people like Viscount Trubetskoy. Before, it was just because of the situation that he had no way to deal with them.

Now that Li Xiao has taken the initiative to help, he is naturally happy to go along with the situation and increase the punishment, so as to make those who oppose him look good at once.

With the instructions of Alexander II, Viscount Trubetskoy and his colleagues are completely indifferent. I am afraid that they will really go to Irkutsk to meet Duke Trubetskoy. I'm waiting for someone to help me repair the earth. The storm came so quickly and violently that most people didn’t even know what was going on before the court’s decision came down. Those pink-eyed people who accepted the instigation of Viscount Trubetskoy and others to smear Li Xiao and others were all frightened. No way, it's really scary. It didn't take a week from arrest to trial. What kind of efficiency is this? How could it be so fast without the push from above! The pink-eye patients were frightened. Before, they were so arrogant and fanning the flames that they could only close the door and hide at home without even daring to risk their lives. I have to say that Li Xiao's method had an immediate effect, and he cured these annoying people in no time. Even the effect was a bit too good, and the timid ones among the group went directly to Nikolai Milyutin and Prince Vorontsov to ask for asylum. This made the latter dumbfounded and said to himself: With your courage, why bother provoking someone? It would be great if you had been so honest earlier! However, things must be resolved when they happen. It is not appropriate for Li Xiao to continue to deal with it. After all, internal unity still needs to be maintained. In desperation, they had no choice but to go to someone to discuss it, and Li Xiao still said the same thing: "Apologise publicly and clarify lies. This is my only condition. If you can't do it for me, Just keep arresting people."Can you do it? That must be possible! Immediately after turning around, there were many timid ones who bowed their heads and apologized and admitted their mistakes. Of course, there were not those without stiff necks who still resisted. Find a book at www.zhaoshuyuan.comI will never apologize to someone, and I don’t believe that someone can do anything to them. This was also what Li Xiao expected. He just hoped that such a strong-willed person would stand up and proofread. Only by dealing with them could he achieve the effect he wanted. So the Third Division of St. Petersburg once again launched an operation overnight, arresting two tough-talkers and throwing them into the Peter and Paul Fortress Prison. After the news spread the next morning, St. Petersburg was abuzz. Both reformists and conservatives were shocked by the actions of the third part. There had not been such a big case in many years. , now there is something to watch! Only those who are really familiar with the inside story know that there is no drama at all. With a few tough-talking guys being dealt with, who among the reformists dares to make irresponsible remarks to Li Xiao and the others? . I can’t even hide! In just ten days, Li Xiao completely subdued these pink-eyes, and the internal struggle among the reformists to suppress the rise of young forces came to an end.

This shocked some people who were ready to see the joke. They didn't expect that Li Xiao could solve this big trouble so easily, and the effect was really good and a bit too much. Look at the reaction to the third part. When will we reform? Can Pai also give orders to them?
