Struggle in Russia

"Can the emperor do whatever he wants? Can the emperor despise the code of conduct that all upright gentlemen must abide by? Can the emperor want to overpower all his subjects!" Leonid repeated three questions angrily, then growled. "What's more, he is not an emperor now! It's just Chu Jun, so is Chu Jun, what about the future?"

Alexei Speransky gave a bitter smile, he did not expect that the response of his friend turned out to be so strong, that the soul asked the core of the question-the power of the Tsar must be restricted. The family origins made Alexei also very inclined to restrict the power of the Tsar, but his father's experience and the end-time warnings always echoed in his ears:

"One step forward is called reform; two steps forward is called revolution; three steps forward is called destruction!"

Alexei's father, Count Spelansky, did not want to destroy Russia. In his later years, he even opposed the two steps forward. The huge setbacks and countless opposition made him realize that a radical revolution would only intensify the contradictions and let the opposition. The mad counterattack, the end result is to destroy yourself or Russia.

So Count Speransky in his later years chose to compromise, no longer talking about revolution or reform, but more about reform. He hoped that the ants would move forward in small steps, cooking the Russian toad with progressively improved warm water.

Aleksei was deeply influenced by his father. He felt that it took a long time, but the moisturizing sound changed well after a revolutionary storm with lightning and thunderstorms. He said to Leonid earnestly: "The emperor is the emperor, even if he is only a prince, he must maintain his dignity. This is the reality of Russia. Without the support of the emperor, all our improvements and reforms are rootless. Water, so my dear friend, put away your anger! What you have experienced is nothing at all. If you want to do things in Russia, especially the right thing, you must learn to compromise with the emperor. This is what my father taught My most important truth in life. And today I will give it to you, I hope we can encourage! "

Leonid was silent, and Earl Spelansky was his most admired person. As a pioneer of reform, he suffered huge setbacks and was even exiled to suffer from barren land. But he never gave up his ideals, and worked hard to the end in his own way. Regardless of the result, his efforts are always admirable.

Leonid asked frustratedly, "Did your father ever think about self-determination at that time?"

"Never!" Alexei replied flatly, "It did not happen when he was exiled in 1812, nor was he forced to punish the December party members for being vilified and attacked in 1825. He always believed that he was alive There is hope, there is nothing when dead! Living alive with a heavy load is more meaningful than breaking off for a while, more like a man! "

How Leonid thought about the situation that Count Speransky faced after the party uprising in December 1825. How hard and painful it was!

Nicholas I deliberately handed over the punishment of the December party to the Earl of Speransky. Knowing that those December members almost worshiped the Earl of Speransky, all of his followers, even decided After the victory of the uprising, the power to transform and rule Russia was handed over to a group of advanced aristocrats headed by Earl Spelansky, who felt that only the Earl could lead them to a bright future.

Although Earl Speranski was unaware of the uprising and was not involved, in December the party members were like his children and students. The cruel tsar actually asked him to finish his own students and children. What a cruelty And pain!

Tspelansky had to satisfy Nicholas I's will, and imposed the harshest punishment on the December party members. If he followed his plan, it would shed blood. Of course, this plan was rejected in the end. Nicholas I "extremely benevolent" and "forgiving" changed the execution of more than a hundred people to hanged five people, but at the same time he leaked the plan of Earl Speranski very despicably For a moment, the earl of fame stinked the streets and was cast aside by all the progressive nobles and the members of the December party.

Obviously, Nicholas I was intentional. His purpose was to fight against the Russian liberals who dared to oppose the Tsarist autocracy, destroy the liberal idols from the roots, turn Speransky into a despicable villain, and let his followers Complete disappointment and despair, solve the problem once and for all.

This move is sinister and despicable, but it works. Count Speransky did lose his prestige, and the Russian liberals fell apart for a time. Nicholas I was happy and satisfied, and deliberately humiliated the Count Speranski, who was generally appointed as the State Counselor and the Minister of the Court, and wrestled his body as much as possible.

"My father was very distressed at the time, and he could hardly sleep. He told us that we could see the five deadly warriors in one eye. He died on the gallows, not the warriors ... "

Alexei recalled heavily: "But his father knew better that things had come to an end. There was no point in continuing to fight against the emperor. He would only increase bloodshed and sacrifice. So he was willing to abandon his reputation and reputation to become a mean villain. When he comes down, he will continue to do things alive, and continue to advance the cause of reform. This great cause must not be terminated! "

Alexei smiled bleakly: "You know what happened later, and my father has been working hard, and as far as possible, not to stimulate those conservatives to complete the reform, and also achieved certain results. He believes that as long as we continue to work hard The result must be ideal. My friend, don't you want to see that day? You just suffered a little bit of frustration, which is a bit of a grudge? What's the point? If you are a man, this time It should be stronger, and continue to work hard, just like my father! "

Leonid was encouraged and felt that his previous performance was indeed a bit scum. What a bit of frustration was, the more frustrated the man must be!

Leonid thanked him very seriously: "My friend, thank you for your sincere suggestion, which will benefit me for life. If I can achieve a little success in the future, it must be derived from your suggestions and your father's teachings ! "

"Now, I need more advice from you. You also know the problem I am facing now, how should I do it?"

Alexei thought about it and responded, "The root of your question is that Archduke. I am also a little interested in this bold granddaughter. Let's go to see him first and see him in the terrible 748 regiment. What are you doing, and then we think about your choice, what? "
