It can only be said that Duke Dolgoruky still lacks experience and composure. At times like this, it is even more important to stay calm. Panic will only give his opponents more opportunities to take advantage of him.

You see, Pobedonostsev, who had been planning for a long time, immediately interrupted him: “You must not do this, it is tantamount to asking for trouble!”

Alexander II also reacted, but isn’t that the truth? Suddenly he looked like Duke Dolgoruky was a fool. How could you come up with such a bad idea?

He also took the initiative to clarify!

Damn, if you don’t clarify, maybe not many people think this is true!

Doesn’t your clarification mean that I and Prince Baryatinsky were grilled on the barbecue?

Suddenly he looked at Duke Dolgoruki with a bad look.

Pobedonostsev also made up for it at the right time and said: “There is no need to pay attention to such rumors. The pure will become pure and the dirty will become dirty. Just ignore him!”

Alexander II nodded. This is indeed the truth. Some rumors may seem fierce, but as long as they are dealt with calmly and calmly, no one will remember them within a few days.

However, although doing so can calm the storm, it cannot change the situation of Duke Baryatinsky. For safety reasons, it is best for him to stay in seclusion and not show up, but this way he will not be able to participate in the counterattack against Nikolai Milyutin. !

This made Alexander II quite upset. He felt that these rumors were spread by the reformists, Nikolai Milyutin and Li Xiao.

It’s obvious! This was their trump card when they discovered that Duke Baryatinsky had secretly returned to St. Petersburg and then took action in advance.

From the previous accusations to the later rumors, they were all directed at Duke Baryatinsky. The motive is too obvious!

Alexander II sighed in his heart and remembered Count Kleinmicher’s words. The other person’s reminder was indeed reasonable. He had indeed underestimated Nikolai Milyutin and Li Xiao. When he thought of his previous arrogance and pride, He looked like his face was on fire.

But now it’s too late to regret it. What if we turn back?

He looked at Pobedonostsev and asked kindly: “Count, do you have any solution to the current predicament? We must not let those shameless villains spread rumors to slander Duke Baryatinsky!”

To be honest, Pobedonostsev was in a special mood, and on the other hand he was secretly proud. After all, he had brought Baryatinsky and Alexander II together to make Duke Dolgoruky feel defeated. The other side was secretly helpless. Even in this situation, Alexander II still thought of protecting Duke Baryatinsky. This showed that the other party’s status in his heart was obviously higher than his!

Pobedonostsev, who was full of jealousy, could only suppress his displeasure and bowed and replied: “Your Majesty, the opponent is threatening and may have back-up tactics. The safest way is to keep Duke Baryatinsky away from this matter.” You should stay away from the wind for a while, and then everything will be fine once the wind blows over!”

Alexander II was a little disappointed. He still did not give up the idea of ​​using Duke Baryatinsky as a surprise soldier. But according to Pobedonostsev’s opinion, it was obvious that Duke Baryatinsky could only leave St. Petersburg temporarily, not to mention as a surprise soldier. He was so surprised that he even had to stay outside for a while to avoid the limelight.
