Nikolai Milyutin was reprimanded and ordered to be arrested, which was a great joy for the conservative nobles. The old nobles who had experienced the reforms of the Alexander II era burst into tears when they heard this.
One by one, they began to thank God, thanking him for protecting the thieves who had brought disaster to the country and the people.
Not only these conservative nobles with ordinary status are happy, but even the great nobles of Count Uvarov and Pobedonostsev are also smiling. Especially the latter, who was recently replaced by Nikolai M.
Liu Ting was so embarrassed that he could finally breathe a sigh of relief.
"When will Alexander Ivanovich come back?" he asked Prince Dolgoruky.
"It will probably take a few more months. The situation in the Caucasus is a bit complicated. Alexander Ivanovich feels that it is a pity to give up the captured territory in vain. He is going to do some work to facilitate our return in the future..."
Pobedonostsev frowned, because Baryatinsky had never mentioned this topic to him at all. He had always said that he would return to St. Petersburg as soon as possible, but now Duke Dolgoruky suddenly told him that he would return to St. Petersburg as soon as possible.
Staying for a few months will make him really explode, okay?
Yes, it was a torturous period for Pobedonostsev. He was alone in St. Petersburg and had to face the pressure of the reformists, the local Count Uvarov, and Alexander.
The increasingly difficult tasks for the second generation made him physically and mentally exhausted.
Only then did he realize that being the boss was not that easy, and he also truly realized that he was not the material to be the boss. What he wanted most now was for Baryatinsky to come back quickly and put everything back together, so he still gave up the position of the third boss.
It is better to serve as the second-in-command.
Naturally, he was disappointed and a little angry. He felt that Baryatinsky was too uninteresting. No matter how important a decision was, he had to be notified and discussed with him before making a decision. But he didn't even say hello.
He did it directly. If he hadn't gotten impatient and asked more questions, he might have been kept in the dark.
Pobedonostsev looked into Prince Dolgoruky's eyes and asked: "Did Alexander Ivanovich tell you that he will come back later?"
Duke Dolgoruky was stared at in a panic. Even a fool could tell that Pobedonostsev was unhappy. The reason was very simple, that is, he knew about it first and did not take the initiative to inform or remind him.
This is indeed a bit of a feeling of neither superior nor inferior. After all, everyone thinks that Baryatinsky is the leader of their line, and Pobedonostsev is the second brother. Duke Dolgoruky
Maybe he is not even the third brother. Now the third brother knows more than the second brother. Is this reasonable?
Duke Dolgoruky thinks it is quite reasonable, because he has already submitted a letter of surrender to Baryatinsky, and he is regarded as the top horse under Duke Baryatinsky. As the eldest brother, the top horse is better informed than the second brother.
Already?
After all, he and Baryatinsky are their own people, while Pobedonostsev is the second-in-command who deserves to be alert and may pose a threat to his eldest brother.
Anyway, Duke Dolgoruky has been monitoring and wary of Pobedonostsev. In fact, this time Baryatinsky ordered him to tell Pobedonotsev. But this order
He was immediately ignored by Duke Dolgoruki, so... you know.
"Why didn't you tell me such important news?" Pobedonostsev asked with a cold light in his eyes.
Duke Dolgoruky, however, was not panicked, and was even a little happy. Why? Because he wished that Pobedonozev was dissatisfied with him, and it would be best to directly tell Baryatinsky about his dissatisfaction.
That's good.
In this way, Baryatinsky will know how conscientious, loyal and reliable his number one horse boy is.
So, this is all about being a younger brother, and you have to let your older brother know that you are loyal and reliable at all times.
He bowed slightly and said: "Sorry, Your Excellency, I thought Alexander Ivanovich had already told you..."
Pobedonostsev narrowed his eyes. He could see that Duke Dolgoruky was making a fool of himself, but he had to say that the excuse he made was both appropriate and annoying. Because according to common sense, Baryagin
Ski should really inform him. After all, how could you, the eldest brother and the second brother, not communicate in private about such an important matter?
What's annoying is that Baryatinsky didn't communicate, and Duke Dolgoruky repeatedly kept his mouth shut, which was like exposing it directly to Pobedonostsev. This feeling is really frustrating.
People want to jump.
What's even more irritating is that Pobedonostsev couldn't get angry, and couldn't even beat Duke Dolgoruky to tell him to report similar things in advance in the future. If he really said this, wouldn't it be even more annoying?
It was shameless, after all, he had always felt that he had a close relationship with Baryatinsky.
Pobedonostsev took a deep breath, knowing that continuing to dwell on this issue would only bring trouble to himself. He was also a person who could afford to let go, so he simply skipped this issue and suddenly asked: "St. Petersburg
What's going on in Part 3? Have you done what I told you before?"
Duke Dolgoruky was a little proud just now and felt that he had a sense of accomplishment for showing off Pobedonostsev. Who would have thought that in the blink of an eye the other party would skip this incident and move his troops elsewhere.
There is no need to talk nonsense about how important the third part of St. Petersburg is. Pobedonostsev had previously told Duke Dolgolu to find a way to bypass Li Xiao and control the entire department.
At first, Duke Dolgoruky didn't think it was that difficult. There was nothing difficult about a lame-duck Grand Duke, so he patted his chest and promised that he would complete the task as soon as possible.
However, when he really got started, he realized that things were not that simple. He had just managed to instigate the leaders of the Third Division of St. Petersburg to cause trouble for Li Xiao. In the blink of an eye, those guys who tried to make a name for themselves were taught a lesson and turned into disgrace.
...
Only then did he realize that there was actually the shadow of Duke Mikhail behind someone. The power behind that Duke was so huge that even Baryatinsky could not afford to offend him.
So this wave of his attacks just fell into disarray without causing even a ripple, which is embarrassing.
And as he carefully researched, he discovered that the forces behind a certain grand duke were much more complicated than he initially expected. The reformist leader Nikolai Milyutin seemed to be related to someone. What does this mean when you say he
