Struggle in Russia

With Nicholas I making the decision, the third part was finalized after the major rectification began. In the next few days, the gendarmes in the third part may suffer or even be shot. Nicholas I, who had already determined to make an example to others, would never mind using their blood to deter those who were behind his back.

But this is not the point, the point is still Menshikov. Following Nicholas I's decision, the old eunuch's face was not much stronger than the bottom of the pot. It was really dark, and it was terrible.

Because at this time he realized that he seemed to have fallen into a pit. What he did, as long as the third part seriously investigates, how can we hide it!

At this moment, the old eunuch was a little shaky, as if the sky had collapsed. An unprecedented fear enveloped him, made him sweat, made him flustered, made him restless. If this is not the imperial meeting, the old eunuch might faint on the spot.

Nicholas I looked at Menshikov with pity. In fact, he has no opinion on the old eunuch. Although this old man has made a lot of money through corruption and bribery behind his back, the money is nothing compared to the old eunuch's loyalty. If you are greedy, you will be greedy.

Moreover, the old eunuch's way of doing things has always been in line with Nicholas I's taste. He always does things in the way Nicholas I likes. There is no problem with his attitude, and he strictly implements his orders and implements his will.

For some important matters, to be honest, Nicholas I really only let the old eunuch handle them with confidence, and entrusting them to his two sons is not as reliable as entrusting them to him.

Nicholas I felt that this time it can only be said that the old eunuch was really unlucky, and by chance, he ran into the hands of Grand Duke Constantine. It happened that he wanted to spur the crown prince again, and the old eunuch could only be wronged.

But as a loyal minister, it doesn't matter if he is used by the emperor and suffers a little grievance. A true loyal minister will definitely not care.

Of course, Nicholas I also decided to give the old eunuch some supplements after the incident, and get promoted?

Uh, it seems that there is no suitable position for the time being, and the old eunuch can't be the prime minister. Add a noble? It seems that this guy is already a prince, and there is nothing more to add. Forget it, then reward his son.

Nicholas I happily made the decision. Naturally, Menshikov didn't know about this, and in the following time, the old eunuch almost fell into hell and was tortured continuously. Suggestions that were not so good for him were passed, and he suspected that he had really been abandoned by Nicholas I, and he was not far from his downfall.

Equally anxious was Crown Prince Alexander, who was even more terrified than Menshikov. After all, even if the old eunuch collapsed, it would be fine to spend the rest of his life in accordance with Russian rules, not even in danger of being exiled.

But he, the crown prince, is different. Throughout history, Alexander has not found a deposed Russian prince who can have a good death. The bloody encounters of those seniors told him that the danger was imminent, and if he tried to save himself, the consequences would be unpredictable!

Alexander's tears were rolling in his eyes, so he didn't cry on the spot, he is in a mess right now, he really doesn't know what to do!

At this moment, how much Alexander wished that teacher Zhukovsky or old Adlerberg would be by his side, they would definitely help him find a way to save him from danger. But these two are not qualified to attend the imperial meeting, and he is alone in front of him, what should he do!

In fact, Alexander was not the only one who knew the cry and panic in his heart. At least three of the people present had already seen it.

For example, Nicholas I, he was familiar with his son. When he saw Alexander's mouth flushed and his eyes flushed, he knew that he had pushed this crying boy to the extreme, and he might collapse if he continued.

Grand Duke Constantine knew his brother, and naturally he also knew that Alexander was on the verge of collapse. He felt that this was a good opportunity. If he could add another fire, Alexander would collapse and be finished. If you cry in front of so many ministers,

The face of the royal family has been lost by him, and he will have no face to continue to be the crown prince, right?

The last one is Uvarov. Since Nicholas I intervened, he has been paying attention to Alexander's emotional changes. As the situation became more and more bad for the crown prince, he also knew that if this continued, the crown prince would really collapse. If the crown prince collapsed at the imperial meeting, Nicholas I's temper would definitely abolish the establishment on the spot, and then everything would be over!

At this moment, all three of them acted!

Grand Duke Constantine couldn't wait to say: "Father, I think..."

Uvarov said: "Your Majesty, I think..."

But only Nicholas I was the fastest and most effective: "Okay! Let's talk about the case of the 748 regiment and Mesadov first, and report to me after the other cases are clarified. Now let's talk about the prohibited As for the books, didn’t I order the confiscation of Herzen’s filthy rumors half a year ago? Why do some people dare to spread them?”

Speaking of which, Nicholas I deliberately turned to Aldorf: "Duke, you have always been responsible for this matter. Can you tell me why these rumors are always repeated?"

Aldorf smiled wryly, the forbidden books are not so easy to search. The military police of the third department can't really rush into every house and search one by one. Apart from issuing notices and ordering to set up checkpoints at border customs, there is no other way to do it.

What's more, printing is not as high-end as it was decades ago, and only a few people can master it. With the industrialization of Britain and France, printing books became easier and easier.

Nicholas I was able to ban Herzen's books in China, but his books can be sold publicly abroad! Even if Aldorf has three heads and six arms, he can't go abroad to collect it!

The most damned are those young nobles, relying on the power and power of their families, they don't take the ban seriously at all. They are the main force of the spread, but noble youths are the foundation of the empire, and if they are really arrested, there will be big troubles.

Anyway, Aldorf is in a dilemma. What's more, the third part itself is still a sieve, and the corrupt gendarmes are easy to bribe. If they pay a few gold rubles, they will turn a blind eye and turn a blind eye. How can it be banned?

But Ordorf can't complain to Nicholas I, let alone say these words, otherwise he, the chief of the third department, will really end up being the end. So the old man was anxious and panicked, his forehead covered in cold sweat.

Just when Ordorf was in a panic, Grand Duke Constantine suddenly interjected: "Father, I also have some understanding of this matter, and while investigating the case of Messadov, I also dealt with related matters." Some work is about to be reported to you!"
