Old Adlerberg felt that his back was soaked. Alexander II actually knew what he had done. What did this mean? It meant that every move he made was under the control of the other party!
Of course, old Adlerberg was not surprised by this, but rather strange. Because he had been in the Winter Palace for so many years, he knew very well what kind of virtue the Tsar was.
To put it bluntly, a tsar is a typical person who wants to be both a frontman and a memorial arch. His heart is not generally dark. They will never give up any means to monitor their ministers, otherwise how could the third part come about?
He was surprised that Alexander II, a tsar who looked like he was ordering food, could be so powerful. According to his understanding of Alexander II, he felt that this tsar was far inferior to him. Compared with Nicholas I, this tsar was far inferior to him.
He is just a little naive. Not only is he weak in character and hesitant in doing things, but he is also too generous to his ministers.
If it were Nicholas I, where would there be the current brawl between conservatives and reformists? He could defeat Count Uvarov and Nikolay Milyutin in minutes, and it would be easy for them to go to Siberia to repair the earth.
Seeing Alexander II being forced into a state of embarrassment, old Adlerberg was very disdainful and naturally looked down upon him. He felt that he still had too much time left to become a qualified tsar.
A long way to go.
But the murderous intention that Alexander II accidentally revealed just now was immediately suppressed by him. It turns out that this man is not without any means and scheming. Look at his method of monitoring his subjects, which is exactly the same as that of Nicholas I!
In short, this man is also a mischievous master. He is not as easy-going and easy to deal with as he appears on the surface. Maybe he may have a dark heart!
Ringing a warning bell in his heart, old Adlerberg knew that he had to be more careful and never underestimate Alexander II again. He quickly lowered his head and explained his actions in detail and then pleaded desperately
Forgiveness of Alexander II.
As old Adlerberg thought, Alexander II was indeed aware of his little moves. The reason why he did not take action was very simple.
For him, how can the ministers control the monarch if they don't fight them? Therefore, it is not a bad thing to have appropriate intrigues and fights between ministers.
Anyway, he was happy to see the old Adlerbergs fighting to the death.
And the reason why he is pointing it out now is to intimidate him. He just wants to tell his ministers that it is okay to fight, but it is absolutely impossible and absolutely not allowed to make a name for themselves without telling him!
Seeing old Adlerberg's trembling and frightened look, he felt sincerely happy. He finally let out a breath of bad breath. These days, he was disgusted by these annoying ministers.
But he didn't do anything to old Adlerberg, he just took away a quota he extorted from Duke Dolgoruky and let the old man go.
"Be careful when doing things in the future. If you try to do tricks, it won't be so easy!" Alexander II taught him a few words and suddenly asked, "Who did the Queen see today?"
Old Adlerberg was stunned again. He originally thought that Alexander II came specifically to beat him today, but now it seems that is not the case?
Then his mind was spinning rapidly, wondering if something happened that he didn't know about?
It seems that the Queen has not done anything recently? I have not heard that there is a relationship problem between Alexander II and Queen Maria? It seems that you just met just now and seemed to have a very happy chat?
Old Adlerberg was full of questions and couldn't figure out what Alexander II meant. And the latter obviously wouldn't explain the reason to him. Alexander II just used his eyes to signal the old fox to explain quickly.
So old Adlerberg sat down. Although he was extremely concerned about the situation in the Winter Palace, it was impossible for him to know everything. After recalling it for a long time, he honestly explained:
"Her Royal Highness the Queen did not summon her ministers today, and no ministers came to see her... Apart from going to see the Queen Mother, Her Royal Highness the Queen did not do anything special..."
This answer made Alexander II frown. Why would he pay attention to Queen Maria's movements? The reason was Queen Maria's previous warning. Although her words were very reasonable, they also aroused Alexander II's vigilance.
In Russian history, it was too common for empresses to interfere in politics or even ascend the throne and proclaim themselves emperors. It has to be said that this is how his great-grandmother ruled the world. Although he is still in his prime and in good health, considering the political acumen of Queen Maria
Sex, he had to be on guard against.
At first he wondered if there was something to remind Queen Maria, so the Queen came to remind him.
This kind of behavior is very worthy of vigilance. Its nature is not essentially different from the previous suggestion of Pobedonostsev. There is the possibility of "false public benefit for personal gain". It is even possible that it has bad intentions!
But old Adlerberg actually told him that no ministers had met Queen Maria today, which meant that those warnings were probably thought of by Queen Maria herself.
After realizing this, Alexander II felt a chill running down his spine! As I said just now, he was deeply wary of the Queen's involvement in politics. If Queen Maria was just an ordinary aristocratic woman, it wouldn't matter. After all, her abilities are limited, even if she has that intention
Not much waves can be made.
But if Queen Maria's political acumen and vision were better than his, this would make Alexander II deeply afraid. No man likes his wife to be a strong woman, especially one who is the leader of a country.
He doesn't like his wife to be too strong and capable. He wants a sweet queen rather than an extremely shrewd political woman.
And now Queen Maria has shown a trend in this regard. Do you think she is nervous or not?
After thinking for a while, Alexander II warned himself that he must pay attention to this tendency and not give Queen Maria too many opportunities to interfere in politics. So he casually told old Adlerberg:
"Okay, from now on, pay more attention and care to the queen's situation, and report everything to me in detail..."
Old Adlerberg shuddered in his heart. With his shrewdness, how could he not see what Alexander II meant? This man didn't even trust his bedside man. He was even more suspicious than me.
, it seems that we must be more careful in the future and must not be careless again.
Of course, what was more strange in his heart was that he didn't understand how Queen Maria could attract Alexander II's attention. Did the Queen do something?
