Duke Dolgoruky’s statement that he is not worried is absolutely false. Once Duke Baryatinsky is forced to idle, his biggest backer will be gone. How will he survive then?

He glanced at Pobedonostsev, who had a stern look on his face, knowing that he had already offended him to death. It was conceivable that once Baryatinsky was finished, he would deal with him like this.

no! Your Majesty must give up this idea!

Prince Dolgoruky immediately said: “Your Majesty, now is the time to employ people. Not to mention those who are unreasonable to Duke Baryatinsky. Even if the Duke has made some small mistakes, for the sake of his Since the empire has repeatedly accomplished extraordinary feats, we shouldn’t be held accountable!”

Alexander II had this idea, but the problem is that the reformers didn’t listen to this principle!

If the reformists could listen to him, where would there be so much trouble?

That group of people had been holding back their big move for a long time. They must have been prepared to attack Duke Baryatinsky this time. This was a wake-up call for him!

Alexander II smiled bitterly. The opponent’s move was really cruel and accurate, and it instantly disrupted his rhythm. Don’t count on Duke Baryatinsky to come forward to help him now. It would not be easy for him to pass the test smoothly. !

Just when he was worried, the attendant who had just left not long ago came in again with a pale green face.

He came to Alexander II again and whispered. After a moment, Alexander II jumped up angrily!

“This is unreasonable, these **** have gone too far!”

Duke Dolgoruky and others all looked at Alexander II, with surprise and confusion on their faces, as if they were shocked.

But two of them must be acting, one is Pobedonostsev and the other is Count Rostovtsev.

These two knew exactly what happened, because it had a lot to do with them.

Alexander II looked at everyone with a livid face and said: “Someone outside is spreading rumors that Duke Baryatinsky left his post without permission and secretly sneaked back to St. Petersburg to meet his mistress. They also said that he secretly accepted a large amount of bribes…”

The expressions on everyone’s faces were quite wonderful, especially Duke Dolgoruky who knew that Duke Baryatinsky had returned to St. Petersburg. He looked like he had seen a ghost. How could such secret information be leaked? impossible!

As for old Adlerberg, who had no idea what was going on, he was extremely shocked. Duke Baryatinsky was back? How can this be?

His immediate reaction was that this was fake news, fabricated by the reformists to muddy the waters!

But after seeing the expressions of Alexander II and Duke Dolgoruky, he silently gave up this naive idea. Obviously the news was true. As for whether Duke Baryatinsky had gone without permission to have a private meeting with his mistress And accepting bribes is hard to say.

Judging from his years of experience in officialdom, Duke Baryatinsky was probably brought back by Alexander II. No wonder the tsar dared to directly challenge the reformists to start a war. It turned out that he had a surprise soldier?

As for Pobedonostsev, he pretended to be surprised, because he was the one who leaked the news. As for the secret meeting with his mistress and accepting bribes, this was not made up, because Prince Baryatinsky did live in his mistress’s villa. , and indeed accepted huge bribes from Duke Dolgoruki and others.
