Nikolai Milyutin clearly felt that Dmitri was not interested in Count Rostovtsev's ambitions.
To be honest, this made him very confused. He always felt that at least nine out of ten nobles in the world were loyal to the king. He should deeply abhor those who were prepared to subvert the traditional order.
And if Count Rostovtsev really has that ambition, shouldn’t he need to be vigilant?
But Dmitri just had no interest in this. Is this because he particularly trusts Count Rostovtsev's character, or is he too naive, or?
Or maybe there was something behind it that Nikolai Milyutin didn't dare to think about, because he didn't want to believe that his brother was an ambitious man without a king or a father!
After being silent for a while, he said: "Then what do you and the count want me to do?"
This is a real problem. How to deal with Alexander II's methods of wooing the military? Is it tit-for-tat or is it secretly trying to cause trouble?
Dmitri looked at him and replied naturally: "The count hopes that you will try to make the generals who support the reform become more radical. It is best to propose some more radical reform strategies!"
What's the use?
This was Nikolai Milyutin's first thought, but he immediately thought that it might be useful. Since Alexander II wanted to win over the reformists in the military, he must satisfy some of their demands.
But if the demands of this group of people were particularly excessive and it would be difficult for Alexander II to satisfy them, then naturally this move would end in vain.
But what if Alexander II is stubborn? What if he pinches his nose and admits that he wants to win over those people even if he is unhappy with it?
"Isn't that just right? Our goal has been achieved!" Dmitri replied calmly.
Nikolai Milyutin suddenly smiled bitterly. This is quite right. Isn't the purpose of their efforts to argue with Alexander II to complete the reform?
If Alexander II helped them get things done for this reason, then not only would they not need to worry about getting angry, but they should be happy.
Anyway, Nikolai Milyutin had nothing to say, and he even admired Count Rostovtsev’s cleverness.
Of course, Alexander II is definitely not that stupid, and things are unlikely to develop in this direction. But one thing is certain, inciting the mood of the military's generals who support reform and making their appetite bigger, it can indeed make Alexander II
Shi's efforts to win over her were ineffective, and she even tried to take advantage of him.
As long as His Majesty realizes that this is of no use, he will definitely give up the idea immediately, and naturally it is impossible to cause too much trouble. In this case, there is no need for him to object forcefully, after all, it is just a trivial matter that will not cause any trouble.
never mind!
A small thing?
Dmitri doesn't think so. Think about what kind of person Count Rostovtsev is. If it's just a big deal, how could he personally make arrangements for it?
Obviously this is not a trivial matter, it is very likely to be a very important matter. However, Dmitri knows that that person is particularly enigmatic and his level is limited, so he cannot guess what the deep meaning of that person is for the time being.
But he also saw a little more than Nikolai Milyutin. Inciting those generals to open their mouths actually has another advantage, that is, to alienate their relationship with Alexander II. If they all see Alexander II clearly
It is not even necessary to fully see the true face of Alexander II. Just a small glimpse of the true face may be able to make many people change their unrealistic expectations of Alexander II.
Li Xiao didn't know what the Milyutin brothers were talking about, nor what Count Rostovtsev was busy arranging. He was in a good mood.
After all, the bad things at the coronation ceremony completely ruined Alexander II's plans. Now there are rumors all over Moscow that this is an ominous sign. Obviously, Alexander II's plan to calm people's hearts and consolidate his position has been completely ruined.
Although this would not break Alexander II's muscles and bones, nor would it threaten his throne. But as long as he could see his jokes, this frustrated Li Xiao would feel comfortable.
He was in a good mood and naturally liked everything he saw, and his relationship with Victoria improved a lot. For two days in a row, he accompanied the princess to wander around, which made the relationship between the two parties much closer.
"The scenery here is pretty good," Li Xiao stretched out happily and said to Alexey: "It would be perfect if we spread a tablecloth, some beer and grill some skewers!"
Alexey pouted, speechless about someone's hobbies. It was an elegant thing for nobles to go hunting. Is it really okay for you to eat and drink like this?
Besides, even if you want to eat and drink, you have to serve some stylish dishes. What’s the point of drinking beer and having skewers?
However, he also knew that Li Xiao was not interested in red wine, whiskey and other foreign drinks. When he got together with them, he would drink some vodka at most. Usually, what he drinks most is beer. Beer always means a meal, to be honest, this is the rule
It's really too much.
Especially when ladies are attending, what the hell are you going to do with a big bucket of beer? Drinking so much alcohol is a big problem for ladies going to the toilet!
Even if you don't mind the trouble of running to the restroom, you can't drink so much wine even if your breasts and waist are corseted. Are you trying to force her to death?
"That is to say, you like to drink beer, a low-end drink that ordinary people like. Why are you, the grand duke of the empire, so unclassy?" Alexei criticized half jokingly and half teasingly.
Li Xiao replied disapprovingly: "Why is the beer out of style? If all the people in Russia can drink beer openly, then our country will be truly prosperous and strong!"
Alexey was immediately speechless, because this is absolutely true. Wine has not been affordable for ordinary people since its birth. After all, this thing requires food, and this is a country that cannot even have enough food to eat.
There is no possibility of large-scale consumption of alcoholic beverages.
If one day all the people in Russia dare to drink beer openly, it will indeed mean that the country has become rich and powerful.
It's just that the truth is this, but Alexei still wants to despise someone: "That doesn't change the fact that beer is not on the table, and only guys like you can entertain guests with beer! It's simply vulgar, no wonder people
Miss Victoria has always looked down upon you!"
"You don't like me?"
This made Li Xiao angry, and he said angrily: "Which of your eyes saw that she looks down on me?"
Alexei replied with a smile: "I can see clearly with my left eye and right eye, and it's not just me who sees it, Fontanna also sees it the same way, hahaha!"
