Struggle in Russia

Under the persuasion of Count Rostovtsev, Dmitry finally decided to go to Wallachia to try his luck. Although he felt that what the earl said would not necessarily become a reality, for example, what if Turkey succumbed?

It's just that no matter how the Turks choose, it is indeed necessary for him to go to Wallachia to fight hard, otherwise he will be left far behind by Bariatinsky in the future, which will be very detrimental to their future plans.

The first thing Dmitry wants to go to Wallachia is Crown Prince Alexander. After all, the crown prince doesn't know the benefits of going to Wallachia. Wallachia is unattractive to him. Would agree with Demirit to go there.

Moreover, Dmitry could not tell the crown prince about Count Rostovtsev's forecast and analysis, because in a sense, the crown prince is still the number two spokesperson for the interests of the conservatives. Knowing the importance of Wallachia, and what Alexei and Li Xiao have done, it is so much fun.

Anyway, this problem gave Dmitry some headaches. The only good news is that Count Rostovtsev will also help him. At least it is not difficult to convince Nicholas I.

However, Count Rostovtsev was not the only one who knew the importance of Wallachia in Russia. After hearing the news that Menshikov was in charge of the negotiations, Duke Mikhail and Duke Ordorf immediately Meet up. Si minus b xwx. co Si

"This time, the blow to Nesselrode was a bit big. Although he was not allowed to take charge of the negotiations and did not remove him from the position of foreign minister, everyone can see that the era of his sole control of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs is over."

"It is very likely that Nesselrode will gradually lose control over foreign affairs in the future. This is good news for Alexander!"

Duke Mikhail just smiled. Indeed, Duke Alexander had been targeted by Nesselrode in the Foreign Ministry before. It was reasonable and reasonable to stay in St. Petersburg as Deputy Foreign Minister with his qualifications, but it was because of Nesselrode. Due to Luodie's firm opposition, Duke Alexander had to condescend to become the ambassador to Austria.

Now that Nesselrode's control over the Ministry of Foreign Affairs is beginning to be exhausted, this means that Duke Alexander, who has been suppressed for a long time, can try to go one step further.

Of course, Duke Mikhail also knew that it was unrealistic to expect Duke Alexander to directly replace Nesselrode as Minister of Foreign Affairs in one go. However, some work can still be done in advance, such as winning more supporters from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, such as recruiting a group of people to strengthen its influence.

He had written a letter to Duke Alexander before, proposing to try to attract people. Although he has not received a reply yet, he believes that Duke Alexander will not object.

So he replied with a smile: "The era when Nesselrode held power and dominated everything by himself should have ended long ago. This is just the first step. If Alexander can become foreign minister in the future, with my influence in the army and With your influence in the palace, as long as we are united, any trouble can be solved!"

The Duke of Aldorf also hopes to see this kind of beautiful future, but he has no interest in continuing to stay in the third part in the future. It was Nicholas I who trusted him that he could secure this position.

otherwise……

Otherwise, Aldorf doubts that someone will sue him for tricks and report him all day long, making him restless for a moment.

Even now, there are not a few people who secretly covet his position, all kinds of petty actions are not stopped, and they spend all their time dealing with these despicable people every day. To be honest, he is tired.

Duke Aldorf shook his head and said, "I've been in the third part for too long.

It's not good, I'd like to switch places if possible! "

Prince Mikhail was not surprised by this at all, because he had heard about the pressure and environment that Duke Aldorf faced every day, and he really couldn't bear that kind of life to tell the truth.

After the defeat of Nesselrode, the cabinet was reshuffled, and it was reasonable for the Duke of Aldorf to want to change to a comfortable position.

He smiled and asked, "Where are you interested in?"

Duke Ordorf replied calmly: "It would be the best if he could go to the Ministry of War. This time, no matter whether he wins or loses, I think Chernyshov, the Minister of War, has finished his job. It would be the best if he can succeed him." !but……"

Prince Mikhail listened very carefully. Obviously, the War Department was not Duke Aldorf's favorite place, but the latter was where he had the most ideas. You might as well listen carefully.

"However, with my qualifications and reputation, it is a bit reluctant to be the Minister of War. I feel that it is not worthwhile and shameful for me to be a deputy. After thinking about it, it seems that Peter Volkonski is about to die?"

Minister of Court Affairs!

Prince Mikhail was taken aback, because he really didn't expect Duke Aldorf to be interested in that position. Because to be honest, this position does not have much power and is not prominent enough, let alone compared with the Minister of War, it is even more inconspicuous than the chief of the third department.

If the Duke of Aldorf goes there, it can be said that he condescends. But why is he willing to give in?

With the wisdom of Duke Mikhail, after a little thought, the minister of court affairs, although not very powerful, was close to the emperor. He was almost the emperor's butler, and he accompanied him around every day. And although there are many miscellaneous things, it is not difficult to maintain favor as long as you have a good sense of proportion.

And because he is close to the czar, he can know all the news at the first time, and he can be familiar with the czar's thoughts and ideas, so he can prepare for everything in advance.

What's more, with the qualifications and level of the Duke of Aldorf, it is easy to be the Minister of Court Affairs, okay? Sacrifice as Sacrifice as

Of course the most important thing is that Peter Volkonski is dying. As a marginal ally in their circle, although that one couldn't help much, it was more than enough to help beat the drums in front of Nicholas I.

If old Adlerberg got that position, with that old fox's personality, he would definitely not be as pleasing to the eye as old Peter, and he might even help Count Uvarov give them eye drops.

So let the Duke of Ordorf go to occupy the pit, and he can block the old Adlerberg's ascending channel. The only tricky thing is what to do with the pit in the third part?

"If you leave, who do you think His Majesty will appoint as the chief of the third department?" Duke Mikhail asked suddenly after pondering for a moment.

It's not that the Duke of Aldorf hasn't thought about this question, but he's a little uncertain... Mi He Mi
