In fact, Alexander II couldn't say anything, he simply didn't like Li Xiao and didn't want to use his cousin at all.
But how could Count Rostovtsev be so proud of him? It was his idea to get Li Xiao out of St. Petersburg. In order to ensure the smooth implementation of his plan, those uncontrollable unplanned factors must be eliminated.
Stifle or minimize.
Although Li Xiao cannot be said to be uncontrolled, he is somewhat at odds with Count Rostovtsev, and their ideological differences are quite large.
Count Rostovtsev's plan is very likely not to be popular with Li Xiao. Looking at Li Xiao's reaction to the Ukrainian issue last time, it is difficult to say that he will not be more resistant to Count Rostovtsev's plan in the future.
And Count Rostovtsev had to admit that Li Xiao had some weird abilities, which might really become an unexpected factor in the implementation of his plan.
So, find a suitable reason to get him away. Aren’t you concerned about the situation in Ukraine? Then I’ll let you go to Ukraine as you wish!
In Count Rostovtsev's view, this could not only eliminate hidden dangers but also sell a favor. At least there would be no need to worry about a split within the reformists.
Alexander II hesitated for a long time. Seeing Count Rostovtsev's very determined attitude, he could only sigh and said: "Okay, let Grand Duke Andrei go to Ukraine to investigate the truth. Let's let Kleinmicher
The Earl of Er will supervise him as his deputy."
Count Kleinmicher was very surprised to hear the news. To be honest, he had never heard of it at all. Why was he suddenly asked to go to Ukraine?
What's more, he went to Ukraine as a deputy. After so many years, he has never been a deputy. What's going on?
"The official position is Grand Duke Andrei Constantine," Neridova's explanation confused him even more. He knew who Li Xiao was, but couldn't figure out why he should be asked to serve as Li Xiao's deputy?
Nelidova added: "According to the information I got, it was the count who suggested that you become a deputy."
Count Kleinmicher was even more confused. Why did Count Rostovtsev do this? He didn't want to see Li Xiao? Should he be asked to be a supervisor?
Neridova waved her hand and said: "I don't know either. I only know that those old die-hards were quarreling fiercely among themselves. Count Uvarov walked away. It seemed that they had broken up internally... I don't rule out that the count wanted to take the opportunity to do something.
What!"
Count Kleinmicher thought for a long time, but still couldn't figure it out, because he felt that it was difficult to say which faction Count Rostovtsev belonged to. Anyway, he couldn't figure out this person's true inclination.
"Forget it, I'm too lazy to guess! Just go if you ask me to go, isn't it just to be your deputy? I'll just watch with a pair of eyes!"
Listening to what he meant, this time I went out only to watch and talk, let alone express my opinion. If Alexander II knew that he had such an attitude... well, he probably wouldn't say anything. Anyway, he wouldn't treat Li Xiao like this.
I am looking forward to traveling to Ukraine.
As for Li Xiao, he was also surprised that he was suddenly sent to Ukraine. Although the official statement was that he was asked to investigate the problems in Ukraine's third department, he was not a fool. There had been such a big mistake in Ukraine, so it must be investigated.
Deal with a group of "guilty" people.
After all, if there is to be an explanation, there must be a few scapegoats!
He just felt that Alexander II should send his cronies to carry out this kind of task. No matter what, it would never be his turn, right?
But this unlucky task fell on him. What does this mean?
After thinking about it for a long time, he had no idea, but since this task was entrusted to him, he was also happy to see it come to fruition. It would be serious to just go to Ukraine to cooperate with Dmitri!
It only took Li Xiao two days in total from receiving the appointment to setting off. Count Kleinmicher was shocked by his miraculous efficiency, because it is normal for this kind of thing to drag on for a month and a half.
After all, according to his understanding, this trip is to wipe the butt. It will deal with a group of people, but it will not lift the fig leaf and make the matter unending.
So stay a few more days and let the news fly for a while. It is best to let the Ukrainian bastards receive the information and act quickly to wipe their butts first and clearly divide the responsibilities in all aspects. When they arrive in Ukraine, they will symbolically investigate and deal with a few unlucky people.
Damn it, this mission has been successfully completed.
By then, Alexander II will be able to live up to his reputation, and the Ukrainian officials will be able to pass the test without incident, and everyone will be fine.
Anyway, when imperial envoys went out to investigate cases in the past, they almost always used this routine!
But why does the Grand Duke Andrei look like a dazed young man in front of him? What are you doing in such a hurry? Do you really want to go on a killing spree?
Count Kleinmicher was full of doubts. It was really strange that this trip came out, the timing was strange, and the person in charge was strange. He really couldn't understand what was going on here.
He could only comfort himself and said: Forget it, let him go! Anyway, I am just a deputy. If the sky falls, you, Grand Duke Andrei, will be in front. What should I be afraid of? I will cooperate honestly and not talk too much.
It’s up to you!
Li Xiao moved very quickly on this journey. He completed more than half a month's journey in five days. When he entered Dmitry's headquarters, some people in St. Petersburg were still asking about how to get his way as an imperial envoy.
!
Dmitri was quite surprised by Li Xiao's appearance: "His Majesty, why are you here?"
Li Xiao smiled bitterly and said: "I don't know either. His Majesty's order is for me to investigate the dereliction of duty of Ukraine's third department, but I feel it is not that simple!"
Dmitri blinked, looked at Li Xiao and then at Count Kleinmicher, who was bored. There were some things he couldn't directly ask when this outsider was present.
He had no choice but to say: "I see, but there are rebels all around Kiev, and it's not an ordinary danger to get there. I think it's better for you to stay here and wait until I remove the threat from the rebels before going."
Li Xiao is actually not in a hurry to go to Kiev, so what if he does? The problem of negligence in the third department of Kiev is serious and serious, but if you want to say that it has a big relationship, it doesn't matter. After all, this is just an intelligence department, and at most it can only
They say they did a poor job, but the responsibility for the rebellion certainly does not lie with them.
Those who deserve to be spanked are Ukrainian bureaucrats and nobles, large and small, and they are the root of the problem. However, Alexander II did not give him the power to deal with Ukrainian local officials. Obviously, this was to guard against him!
Li Xiao chuckled and said, "Then I'm sorry to bother you, Count. Please find us a place to rest. We've been exhausted from working so hard these days!"
