Chapter 78: People and Events From Afar (Part 2)

When Crown Prince Alexander agreed with his proposal, Bariatinsky secretly cheered in his heart, thinking that this wave should be stable. But what he didn't expect was that although Dmitry Milyutin apparently agreed with his strategy, he actually sang against it.

What was even worse was that he also raised a seemingly realistic and reasonable question-Count Speranski was not the opponent of Grand Duke Constantine, and it would be unrealistic to rely on him to consume a lot of Grand Duke Constantine.

And the only way to realize his Bariatinsky's attempt is to secretly support Count Speranski. But this is really not what Bariatinsky wants!

Anyway, Bariatinsky had a headache, because he didn't know how to persuade Crown Prince Alexander, because Dmitry's words really seemed too reasonable.

After deliberating for a while, he still insisted: "Your Highness, I don't think you should directly intervene. After all, His Majesty is watching. If His Majesty thinks that you are deliberately tearing down the stage, it will be difficult to handle..."

Crown Prince Alexander hesitated again, while Dmitri said lightly: "In that case, wouldn't it be the same as watching Grand Duke Constantine annex Wallachia? Once he is allowed to control Wallachia and Molda Via, with his character, he will definitely do a big job, and then he might make a comeback!"

Well, Bariatinsky was even more uncomfortable, because he found that Dmitry was too right. Once the Grand Duke Constantine was allowed to control Moldavia and Wallachia, he might really make a big show. Fist.

Of course, Bariatinsky does not think that Grand Duke Constantine can use this to make a comeback, because now as long as there is no hole in his mind, it can be seen that the crown prince in Nicholas I's mind is the crown prince of Alexander, and the position of the crown prince is almost unshakable. , Grand Duke Constantine has no chance at all.

What Bariatinsky is really worried about is that Grand Duke Constantine, who controls Moldavia and Wallachia, may really mess around. His background is completely different from Alexei. Regardless of Alexei Whether he was trying to sell dog meat in Wallachia, he dared not openly carry out reforms.

But Grand Duke Constantine is different. He doesn't care about those gossips at all, and his consistent position is to change the reform, so he will definitely make a fuss. It really allowed him to control Wallachia and Moldavia. For Bariatinsky, it was equivalent to driving away a less dangerous tiger cub, Alexei, and ushering in a more dangerous tiger, Constance. Duke Ding. The latter is really cannibal!

Immediately, Bariatinsky was in pain, because he suddenly realized that this is a paradox. Whether it is the Grand Duke Constantine or Alexei, the mother is a reformist, and no matter who wins or loses, it will all be the same in the end. It was the reformers who won. So what is the purpose of all his deliberate calculations?

Bariatinsky is a little bald,

He found that he had done a stupid thing, and now he couldn't take back what he said, all in all, he felt a bit in a dilemma.

After thinking for a long time, he reluctantly said to Crown Prince Alexander who had been looking at him expectantly: "Count Dmitry's words make sense, we really can't just sit idly by Grand Duke Constantine, but Don't get involved too deeply, just help Count Speranski a little bit..."

Bariatinsky was very angry because he felt that he had failed to complete a vital mission and failed the expectations of an elder, which made him very upset with his pride. So when he finally left Crown Prince Alexander's office, he gave Dmitry Milyutin a vicious look, and that resentment turned into substance.

"Dear Count Uvarov, I regret that I have let you down." Bariatinsky said to Uvarov apologetically, "Today I failed to persuade the Crown Prince not to interfere with Grand Duke Constantine and Speran. I tried my best to stop the battle of Count Ski, but Dmitry Milyutin got in the way!"

Uvarov frowned slightly. Only he knew how disappointed and surprised he was, because he really had high hopes for Bariatinsky, hoping that the young prince would fulfill his long-cherished wish for many years.

But Bariatinsky failed, which really shocked him, because only he knew what status Bariatinsky had with Crown Prince Alexander.

Bariatinsky, who killed Iranians in the Caucasus and made them cry, can be said to be Russia's new rising god of war. He was the backbone of Crown Prince Alexander in the military, and even Nicholas I admired this young man very much and was ready to give him a heavy responsibility.

But such a person was defeated by Dmitry Milyutin, which is simply unbelievable. Could it be said that this little-known Dmitry's influence on Crown Prince Alexander has reached this level?

Uvarov immediately became extremely wary of Dmitry Milyutin. As the leading brother behind the Russian conservative forces, he was full of worries about the future of Russia. Although he was under the rule of Nicholas I these years Conservative forces have maintained absolute dominance, but those reformers who are not giving up will always be like unbeatable saints. One batch will be eliminated and another batch will grow. It is almost impossible to kill them all.

It is precisely because of this Uvarov that he pays more attention to the reformist young talents. Whenever he has the opportunity, he will kill these young people and eliminate them, and will not give them the opportunity to continue to grow. If Dmitry Milyutin is also a latent reformer, then he must be cut off, otherwise there will be endless troubles!

"Tell me what happened!" Uvarov ordered calmly.

When Bariatinsky told the story in detail, especially repeating Dmitry's speech repeatedly, Uvarov fell into deep thought. It wasn't that he saw through Dmitry's disguise, but that it became increasingly difficult for him to grasp Dmitri's true political orientation.

Because Dmitry's speech was flawless, he did not oppose the elimination of reformists, and he analyzed the pros and cons from the perspective of Crown Prince Alexander from the beginning to the end, without any tendency at all. But the more this happened, the more Uvarov felt that this person was dangerous! He will never allow any uncertainty around Crown Prince Alexander!

"I see!" Uvarov hummed, and ordered Bariatinsky: "Don't worry about Dmitry Milyutin's affairs, I will find out his details. The task is to pretend nothing happened, to numb him so as not to attract his attention, and leave everything to me!"
