Nicholas II stood quietly in the palace, Empress Alexandra had been away under Alexei's escort for a long time, and the angry protests of the crowd could be heard outside the windows of the palace. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 infoNicholas II finally walked from the place where he came, walked to the window, looked at the crowd gathered in the square, and listened to the protest that seemed to call God down from heaven, and the young emperor, who had just been on the throne for a year, also felt a little tired and flustered.

"Vasya, is this emperor really bad?" Nicholas II muttered to Werther, "Why do these my people come against me?" ”

Witte heard Nicholas II's question, thought for a moment and said: "Your Majesty, these opposing masses are not against Your Majesty, but only against some mediocre courtiers. However, the minister thought that no matter what the workers requested, His Majesty should not come forward, and deal with these rebellious people, and could not tolerate a little mercy, otherwise they would definitely gain an inch, and then threaten the safety of Your Majesty and the Empire. ”

"Vasya, you're right! These are all caused by those misguided courtiers, and I am ordered by heaven, how can I be wrong? Nicholas II said: "Where is Sverdlov?" Where is the Home Secretary? ”

Witt replied: "I don't know! ”

Nicholas II found a way to vent, so he said angrily to Werther: "Vasya, now I have appointed you as the envoy plenipotentiary, responsible for handling this matter. Remember, no matter what method I use, I don't want to hear the noise of these people. ”

"Command!" Witte said respectfully, and exited the palace. Nicholas II still looked at the angry crowd below, and at this moment he felt a trace of fear, and he remembered what his father Alexander III told him before he died: "Nicholas, the most feared people in this world are not those ministers, not other countries, but these people at the bottom, if they are not dredged well, their burst of energy will turn the whole of Russia into char." At that time, he didn't understand, but at this time he knew a little, and he couldn't help but feel even more resentful of the people below.

On the Hermitage Square, the palace guards set up three layers of barriers, the first of which were the police, who rushed to the Hermitage from all around St. Petersburg, and formed a human wall to block the workers' progress; On the second floor, the police and workers are all blocked by some horses and sandbags, and behind the sandbags are the palace guards with Mosinagan rifles in their hands, the bayonets of the guards' guns are clearly forward, and some Makqin machine guns can be seen in the middle of some barriers, these weapons are quietly placed there to announce to the demonstrators that the majesty that cannot be easily challenged; On the third level, behind the palace guards, there were neatly arranged Cossack cavalrymen, who also sat on horses with their swords unsheathed.

Witte hurried to the gate of the Winter Palace, where important Russian government officials had gathered, Witt glanced at everyone and walked up to Belinsky and said, "General Belinsky, according to Your Majesty's orders, I am now fully responsible for handling this incident. ”

"Yes, according to His Majesty's orders!" Belinsky said, "Your Excellency Witte, please give the order, and the entire Janissaries will obey your orders in full!" ”

After listening to this, Witte then went to the Minister of the Interior, Ivan Brown. Lokinovich. Goremygin said respectfully: "Your Excellency Goremykin, Your Majesty has ordered you and all the gentlemen to go to the council hall. ”

After hearing this, Goremygin glanced at Werther and left without saying anything, leading a group of colleagues to leave here, among which Werther's uncle Sergei, who was the Minister of Finance, walked past Werther and whispered: "Vasya, remember not to come by force, if there is any problem, enter the palace and ask Your Majesty." Witt nodded slightly when he heard his uncle's words.

Watching the ministers leave, Witte said to Belinsky: "Uncle Belinsky, where is Director Sverdlov?" ”

"I haven't seen him yet, so I don't know where this guy is hiding." Belinsky shook his head and said, "Vasya, you really shouldn't take this matter down, this is a hot potato!" ”

Witt replied helplessly: "Uncle Belinsky, Your Majesty ordered me to deal with it, can I shirk it?" Werther looked at the crowd that was getting more and more agitated, and said to Belinsky: "Uncle Belinsky, let's hurry up, I feel that the policemen are about to stop them." Belinsky also kept an eye on the crowd in the distance, and when he heard Werther say this, he was about to stop Werther from having any accidents in the past, but before he could speak, Werther had already run towards the crowd, and Belinsky had to follow when he saw it.

"I used to be a cow and a horse, but now I want to be a man!" "Give me back my freedom, and prohibit the deduction of wages!" "Cancel the hefty fines, we're going to eat!" The crowd shouting slogans became more and more agitated, constantly pounding the wall of policemen, and then Witte took a loudspeaker from the guards on duty and shouted: "Gentlemen, please be quiet, I am the secretary of the chamberlain by Your Majesty's side, you can tell me if you have any demands, and I will convey them to Your Majesty truthfully!" ”

Witt looked at the workers in front of him, how much he wanted to stand like this at this moment, fight side by side with them, but he still had more important tasks, and before he completed it, he could only stand on the opposite side of everyone. At this moment, except for the six people in the Red Group, Ulyanov and Chaginov, none of the people who knew Werther's true identity, including Nikonov, knew Werther's true identity. Nikonov looked at this comrade-in-arms who had been fighting side by side with them two days ago, but now he had become the lackey of the tsar, and he was furious, picked up the horn in his hand and threw it over, and scolded as he threw it: "Shameless lackey! ”

Werther had been paying attention to Nikonov since he came over, and when he saw Nikonov throwing something at him, fortunately he reacted quickly and dodged it, otherwise he would have been smashed and sent to the hospital. Ulyanov and Chaginov, who were in the crowd, knew that things were going in the direction they hoped when they saw Werther coming, but they were also shocked when they saw Nikonov angrily throwing a trumpet at Werther. Ulyanov hurriedly said to Chaginov: "You quickly arrange for Yankinov and them to come over, and make sure to ensure the safety of Vasya." Chaginov departed, and Ulyanov walked up to Nikonov, then took the trumpet in his hand and said: "Comrades workers of Petersburg, please be calm. We are not here to riot, we are here to express our legitimate demands, and we cannot give the tsarist government an excuse to suppress us! ”

Seeing that the scene was quiet, Ulyanov put down his horn and said to Witt: "Your Excellency, we are here to express our demands. The workers toiled all day long under the oppression of the foremen and factory owners and did not get the treatment they deserved, and we were just trying to survive. ”

After hearing this, Witte said: "This gentleman, you have the right to express your demands, but you have stormed the palace so much, intending to blackmail Your Majesty, this cannot be tolerated. You can go up to the court in the normal way, but to do so is completely radical. ”

"Your Excellency, you have been carrying a golden spoon since you were born, how can you understand our suffering?" "We worked more than a dozen hours a day, and we had to endure oppression from the factory owners. They beat us, deducted our wages, and fired us if they didn't see it, and they were still preparing to lower our wages in different ways, and we couldn't bear it! ”

"Ulla!" Ulyanov's words aroused the hearts of the workers present, and everyone shouted again: "Once a cow and a horse, now be a man!" "Give me back my freedom, and forbid the deduction of wages!" "Cancel the hefty fines, we're going to eat!"
