Chapter 1059 I Really Want to Leave

However, Pobedonostsev did not miss the position of director of the third department at all. As soon as Alexander II finished speaking, he immediately replied: "Your Majesty, my ability is really limited and I cannot bear this position. Continuing to stay on reluctantly will only delay things. Please allow me to resign!"

As he spoke, he bowed heavily and did not get up at all. It seemed that if Alexander II did not agree, he would keep pouting like this.

Alexander II was puzzled. He originally thought that Pobedonostsev was retreating in order to advance, but how could his current posture look so serious?

But even if Pobedonostsev really didn't want to work for Alexander II, he couldn't agree to his resignation. The reason is simple. It is no joke for a department like the third department to change two leaders in less than a year.

It will inevitably cause turmoil in the department, or it may be abolished!

Now is the troubled time, and many things need to be wiped out by the third part. If he is abolished, his situation as the czar will be even more embarrassing.

Suddenly Alexander II was in a dilemma. He promised Pobedonostsev that the third part would be even more useless. Don't agree. This guy looks very disheartened. If he feels unhappy, his loyalty will be greatly affected!

How to do it?

Alexander II was so anxious that he wanted to scratch his head. When he raised his eyes, he saw Duke Dolgoruky. This guy was standing stupidly like no one was doing anything. Why did he look so annoying?

Alexander II looked at Duke Dolgoruky and then at Pobedonostsev, knowing that a large part of the reason for the latter's resignation was caused by the former.

Without the pressure brought by the former, and if the former had not been disrupting the situation, Pobedonostsev would not have wanted to give up his job so quickly.

Looking at it this way, Duke Dolgoruky is really a bit hateful. Maybe the reason why this guy didn't speak was because he felt secretly happy! After all, if Pobedonostsev gives up his choice of the third part, he will probably take over...

Alexander II couldn't help but feel a little irritated when he thought of this. These people under his command were incompetent, otherwise they would be like useless snacks, and his position as the czar would not be stable. But if one of his subordinates is too capable, he won't trust him, and the other one will be very thought-provoking, and it's really hard to manage him.

In the current situation, if we really agree to Pobedonostsev's request, we can really only let Duke Dolgoruky take charge of the third part. And with the level of this Duke, the third film will become his forbidden favorite.

This is really not what Alexander II wants to see. After all, the third part is too special. If its leader's authority is too strong, it may be too big!

Look at Benkendorf back then. Although he managed the third part in an orderly and prosperous way, he could help Nicholas I solve all the troubles. But Alexander II knew that his father was not at ease with Benkendorf, and he would drag him out and beat him from time to time.

The reason is not only worried that the tail will not fall off!

So after he came to power, he made up his mind that there must not be a second leader like Benkendorf in the third part, or even another Duke Ordorf.

The third part must not be the words of a certain person, the power must be locked in a cage! That’s why he specially selected Pobedonostsev to take charge of the third part.

Who made Pobedonostsev not follow up in the third part? I'm not afraid that he could turn the world upside down!

But now it seems that although this is an advantage, it is also a problem. Not having a follow-up means that everything has to start from scratch, and the current situation does not give Pobedonostsev so much time to familiarize himself with and control the third part from scratch.

As a result, it became a matter of chasing ducks to the shelves, and Pobedonostsev himself was awkward and managed things in a mess. Obviously this person also realized that he was being roasted on the fire, so he realized that he had to run away!

But when he ran like this, he got out of the way of Alexander II. No one could stand up to him, and he was really unwilling to let Duke Dolgoruky take care of the third part. After all, behind this Duke was Bariakins. Ji, if he controls the third part, it will be equivalent to Baryatinsky controlling the third part.

Alexander II would make great use of Baryatinsky in the future, so he couldn't hand over military power and intelligence and reconnaissance power to him at the same time. That’s really why the tail is too big to fall off!

After struggling for a long time, Alexander II could only give in one more step. He tried to comfort him: "Count, even if what you said is true, where do you want me to find someone to replace you in this moment? So, you can Hold on for a while, and wait until I find a suitable replacement for you to step back and rest!"

For the sake of all that was said, Pobedonostsev should have given in, but in the past few months he had been really tortured and disgusted, and he said he didn't want to do it anymore. Immediately he bowed again: "Your Majesty, I am really exhausted mentally and can't hold on for long. Please choose a replacement as soon as possible. In addition, I have tried my best in the case of Duke Vladimir but got nothing. If I were asked If you continue to be in charge of this case, I'm afraid I will disappoint you again, so I beg you to find someone more astute to investigate this case!"

Well, Alexander II was scratching his head again. Although Pobedonostsev agreed to stay, he did not want to get involved in the case of Duke Vladimir. This was something he couldn't figure out. Wasn't it because a lame duke couldn't be found? Could it be that this guy is a rat? So able to hide?

It's hard to say that Alexander II was a little angry. He ignored Pobedonostsev and turned to Duke Dolgoruky and asked: "Duke, is this case really that complicated? Isn't it possible that the third part can't even find a single person now?" arrive?"

According to his idea, Duke Dolgoruky would definitely climb up the pole and take over the case carelessly.

Of course, Alexander II had no intention of handing over the case to Duke Dolgoruky. For him, Duke Dolgoruky was just a pawn to check Pobedonostsev, and he had no use for it at all. Human meaning.

What he wanted was the attitude of Prince Dolgoruky, so that he could beat Pobedonostsev and make him give up the idea of ​​giving up his job.

However, the situation once again exceeded Alexander II's expectations. Faced with his question, Duke Dolgoruky replied hesitantly: "Your Majesty, this case is indeed very complicated. We have mobilized all our manpower to attack St. Petersburg." A dragnet search was conducted, but no trace of him was found. We cannot rule out that this person may have fled abroad, and it may be difficult to arrest him in a hurry."

Alexander II was dumbfounded. He looked at Duke Dolgoruky blankly, wondering if there was something wrong with his ears. What did he hear just now? Duke Dolgoruki actually said he couldn't find it? !
