Struggle in Russia

Chapter 752

Dmitry Milyutin was startled, because he really did not expect that Count Rostovtsev would rank the old Adlerberg's danger level so high, because of Uvarov's status and degree of danger he was clearly.

Uvarov is really the spiritual mentor and leader of the conservatives. It can be said that he is the representative and symbol of the conservative forces in Russia. It goes without saying how dangerous he is. And now Count Rostovtsev actually told him that the old Adlerberg was only slightly worse than Uvarov, is this possible?

Count Rostovtsev saw Dmitry's doubts, and patiently explained: "Don't look at him as a deputy minister of court affairs, but he has a lot of energy. With the convenience of his status, he is active in His Majesty's By his side, he knows the news inside and outside the palace like the palm of his hand, so don't try to hide anything from his eyes and ears!"

"In the court, there are countless women who want to climb the dragon and the phoenix to cling to him to please him, and are willing to act as his spies. It can be said that they don't want to hide the slightest trouble from him. Moreover, this old fox is very good at building relationships. His majesty and queen used to like it. He, the queen even takes him as a confidant."

"This means that he has great influence on both His Majesty and the Queen. He can ruin our hard-planned event with a single sentence. More importantly, this person's political leanings are particularly conservative. He is the same as Uvarov. He hates change from the bottom of his heart, so there's no way he's coming to our side!"

After Count Rostovtsev's introduction, Dmitry had a better understanding of old Adlerberg. When the true face of this old fox was completely exposed, Dmitry also thought that he really needed to pay attention!

But Dmitry did not fully agree with Count Rostovtsev's analysis, because he had been in the Winter Palace, especially at the side of Crown Prince Alexander, and his contact with the old fox and the little Adlerberg More, he thinks that the father and son are more like the kind of characters who are all-rounder, as long as they feel that there is nothing they can do, they will not die to the end.

"Maybe they are indeed as you said!" Count Rostovtsev laughed, "So I am trying to make them feel that nothing can be done!"

Dmitry was taken aback for a moment, and only then did he realize why Count Rostovtsev had to cut off the last retreat for the fox father and son. Only by cutting off the queen they depended on, then at the critical moment, they will have to weigh more when they no longer have a queen to rely on, and there will be no chance to do it again, so they must be more cautious in doing things, which will be extremely serious. Reduce their ability to do bad things.

Having figured this out, Dmitry had to admit that Count Rostovtsev is indeed a wily man. He has clearly counted all the key points and key figures, and made up for all possible loopholes and problems in advance. It’s okay to reserve countermeasures. If this is not successful, even Dmitry thinks that it is the death of Russia and the death of reformists.

He sincerely praised: "You are the wisest person I have ever met! I believe everything is under your control!"

It's just that Count Rostovtsev is not as optimistic as Dmitry at all.

He shook his head indifferently and said, "No, my friend, there are a few people I can't control, which is why I have to be so careful."

Dmitry was curious again, because he felt that Count Rostovtsev was already considered unfathomable. A character like him who is completely out of control by such a clever person, what kind of monster is that!

Of course, he was more curious about who these mobs were.

"Your Majesty, Uvarov, um, and a little friend..."

Dmitry was stunned, because he was familiar with two of these three people. If that Uvarov can be regarded as unfathomable, then His Majesty seems to be far behind, okay? He felt that Count Rostovtsev counted all the thinking of Nicholas I's every move and thought to death. Isn't this considered to be under control?

"Normally, yes," Count Rostovtsev replied calmly, "but there is such an unexpected situation in His Majesty!"

【accidents? 】

Dmitry became more and more interested. He wanted to know what special accident happened to Nicholas I.

Count Rostovtsev seemed to be recalling, but also seemed to be thinking. After a long while, he replied: "Under normal circumstances, I can indeed grasp the context of His Majesty's thinking, and know how he will think, choose and choose...but he This person has a very special personality. Once some of his bottom lines are touched, he will become elusive, and all his choices and even his way of thinking will undergo earth-shaking changes. At that time, he... how should I put it? It is not the original He's gone, going to be a monster, hysterical, neurotic, totally out of control!"

Dmitry was stunned, because he didn't expect Nicholas I to have such an unknown side. He asked with great interest, "Are there many cases like this?"

Count Rostovtsev smiled wryly: "Not many, in fact I only encountered it twice, one in 1825 and the other in 1831!"

What happened in 1825 Dmitry is very clear, he thinks that Count Rostovtsev was referring to the Decembrist uprising, Nicholas I did behave a bit unexpectedly that time, whether it is unusually firm and decisive Whether it was Iron Blood or Iron Blood, both left a deep impression on people, and that impression was completely different from his previous appearance.

But in 1831 he doesn't remember what happened, was there anything unusual about Nicholas I that year? Anyway, Dmitry couldn't figure it out even after thinking about it, and what made him even more depressed was that Count Rostovtsev seemed to be stuck in memory, and he didn't mean to explain to him at all. After a long time, he suddenly woke up, Only then said:

"As for Uvarov! This guy is completely abnormal, from the way of thinking to the ability to act, he is not a normal person at all. I think he is a mental patient, and I have no way to control a lunatic at all. That is impossible, right? ?”

Dmitry also smiled wryly, because he really didn't expect Count Rostovtsev to say that Uvarov was a lunatic. This is really...well, it's really surprising.

After a moment of silence, seeing that Count Rostovtsev had no intention of continuing to explain, Dmitry asked again: "Is that right, you just said that there is a child that you can't control at all, may I ask who is this gentleman?" ? Do I know you?"

Count Rostovtsev shook his head and said: "His situation is quite special, and we need to look at it again. In addition, of course you know him. Even if you don't know the future, you will definitely remember him. He will definitely leave a deep impression on you. impression……"
