"Dmitri is very worried that his brother will be fooled by His Majesty," Li Xiao whispered to Alexei, "because that brother actually still has illusions about Count Uvarov..."
Alexey was speechless. Even he could see that Count Uvarov was playing tricks this time. Why didn't Nikolai Milyutin get the idea?
He is always deceived time and time again and always has illusions about those die-hard conservatives. Is such a person really suitable to lead everyone to carry out reforms?
He blurted out: "This is absolutely intolerable. If it happens again and again, then why should we carry out reforms and continue to maintain the status quo?"
Li Xiao also wanted to say haha to Nikolai Milyutin. He sighed and said: "So Dmitri was also angry and gave him a severe warning. I hope it will be useful!"
Alexei didn't have any hope for this, because what Nikolai Milyutin is best at is disappointing people, and he can only be more disappointed and not the most disappointed.
"How about we encourage him and try to put a little pressure on him?" he asked.
Li Xiao shook his head and said: "It's too late, he has already entered the palace... And I think most of your friends still have hope for him... It's not like you didn't see their expressions just now..."
Alexey became more and more speechless. He had naturally seen the scene just now. These naive little boys actually had extravagant hopes for Count Uvarov and really thought that he would give in. It is conceivable that they would agree and understand.
Nikolai Milyutin's approach naturally does not involve exerting pressure.
"This feeling is really bad! It's like... Alexey murmured, "It's like everyone is drunk and I'm awake alone. How can I wake them up!"
To be honest, Li Xiao also feels this way. Sometimes he would rather be drunk, because he is alone and awake, watching things develop step by step in a bad direction but unable to do anything. Isn't this tormenting him!
"Vasily Konstantinovich is here..." Li Xiao reminded Alexei, interrupting the complaint he wanted to say.
Alexey had to force a smile to greet his friend: "What's wrong, dear Vasily, you look a little unhappy! Who made you unhappy?"
Vasily Konstantinovich replied with an expression on his face: "No one made me unhappy, hey... Andrei, you just said that Nikolai Milyutin had a meeting with Count Uvarov? Can you elaborate?
Tell me, I feel like something is wrong!"
Li Xiao and Alexey looked at each other, and couldn't help but be a little impressed with him. You see, Leonid has been hanging around with them for so long, but he still hasn't seen through the truth of this matter. And this guy just listened to it.
I vaguely noticed something was wrong.
I have to say that this person is really different from other people. Some people are not born to be involved in politics. Even if you put all kinds of connections and influences in front of him, he will not realize that there will be any problems.
And some people know the elegant meaning of Xiange after hearing it, such as Vasily Konstantinovich, who immediately realized that there was something wrong after only hearing a general message, and even took the initiative to come over to inquire.
It's very comfortable to work with smart people like him. At least you don't have to deal with Leonid, who has to struggle and run back when you carry him.
"You are right, something is indeed wrong." Li Xiao sighed and replied.
As he spoke, he briefly and concisely stated the inside story, and Vasily Konstantinovich's expression suddenly changed. He said angrily: "This is not nonsense. I understand it now, Nikolai Milyutin."
Your Excellency is really..."
There is really no need to explain it clearly. Everyone knows what it means anyway. After a few words, he continued: "We have to find some way to save it. If we keep going like this, all the good things will be ruined!"
After saying that, he looked at Li Xiao eagerly, meaning to ask Li Xiao to help him find a way. To be honest, he thought too highly of Li Xiao. If he had a way, he wouldn't come to Alexei.
"There is no good way," Li Xiao sighed heavily, "Our level is too low, that is not something we can interfere with!"
After hearing this, Vasily Konstantinovich fell silent. In fact, he also knew that it was difficult for little shrimps like them to get involved in such a thing. Asking Li Xiao for advice was just like treating a dead horse as a live doctor.
The three of them were silent for a while, and it took a while before Li Xiao broke the silence: "Let's observe first and see how things develop, but we must also prepare for the worst."
As soon as these words came out, Vasily Konstantinovich became more and more silent, because in the past, when he heard such words, he mostly comforted himself, and in the end, there was still no way to deal with the worst case scenario.
This feeling is really bad and frustrating.
However, Alexey knew Li Xiao better and knew that someone would not target someone without aim. Since he said he had to prepare, he must still be targeted.
Sure enough, Li Xiao said slowly: "On the one hand, we need to strengthen our persuasion work, try to let as many people know the seriousness of the matter, and let everyone know the truth of the matter. Only in this way can we put an end to luck. Secondly, we can also find
Some connections put pressure on Nikolai Milyutin, forcing him to face up to the matter and not compromise for the sake of compromise... I plan to contact Prince Mikhail and talk to him about this matter..."
Vasily Konstantinovich blinked. He felt that such countermeasures could be considered a solution. If this could only be regarded as taking precautions, then others would do nothing and just watch.
What?
"That, I think is good!" Vasily Konstantinovich hurriedly expressed his agreement.
Alexey smiled and said: "Andre probably hasn't finished speaking yet. Is there any other strategy?"
Li Xiao nodded: "Yes, in the end we can also take the opportunity to create public opinion and release some rumors. For example, Count Uvarov and Nikolai Milyutin broke up on bad terms, and Nikolai.
Milyuting's entry into the palace put great pressure on His Majesty, and strongly demanded that Your Majesty start the reform process immediately..."
Well, Vasily Konstantinovich is confused. Someone is too brave. He dares to make up such rumors. Aren't he afraid of being held accountable?
"It's a rumor!" Li Xiao explained with a smile, "It must be the kind that can't be found from a specific source, seems to be true or false, and there is no way to investigate or hold people responsible!"...
Alexei burst out laughing. He knew that someone was full of evil ideas and could not let go so easily. His move might not have much effect, but it was enough to stir up the trouble and disgust people!
