In the Petersburg Witte Manor, it has been two days since the formation of the Red Group, but there is no progress in the people rummaging through the complicated materials, Witt and Ulyanov are worried, and while everyone is rummaging in the house, the two of them are holding cigarettes in their hands outside the house, only to hear Ulyanov speak: "Vasya, do you suspect that there are traitors or secret agents in the committee?" ”

Witt exhaled a puff of smoke and said, "Yes, Ilyich, I feel as if our every move has been known by the people in recent events, and I suspect that this time our Tsar's Majesty let me into the palace probably have something to do with it." Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info"

"Are you in danger then?" Ulyanov said with a worried face, "It's really not good, or you should go abroad to hide for a while." ”

Witt smiled faintly and said, "It's no problem, it's a big problem to run now." I don't think it's just a few scattered pieces of information from the police station right now, and it's not a threat to me. At that point, I think Ilyich should rein in your actions lately, and you're definitely more dangerous to the police than I am. ”

"Hehe, what are you afraid of, it's not that you haven't been exiled." "This is the time when the workers' organizations in Petersburg are at their most active," said Ulyanov, "and you will now be fully responsible for finding traitors and spies, and if I evade any longer, the workers' movement in Petersburg will be completely disorganized." So Vasya, my security, the security of the entire organization depends on you. ”

While the two of them were talking, Chaginov came out and said: "Ilyich, Vasya, I think it's like looking for a needle in a haystack to do this now, the whole association has nearly 2,000 members, and there are 500 core members. ”

After listening to Chaginov's words, Witte thought about it carefully, threw away the cigarette that had not yet been smoked, pushed open the door of the house and walked in, and said: "Everyone is now focusing on the information of the nineteen members of the committee, including the information of me, Chairman Ulyanov, and Minister Chaginov, and we must find out within a week where everyone has frequented in the past three months, who they have crossed paths with, and what they have said. Witte turned around again and whispered to Chaginov, and then said to Ulyanov: "Ilyich, during this time you will give speeches among the workers, students, and citizens, and your itinerary will be arranged in detail by Comrade Chaginov's organization department, and all the committee members will be informed that since the moles are hiding underground, we will attract them with bait." ”

The six members of the Red Group, including Chaginov and Ulyanov, all started to work crazy overtime, and early the next morning, Witt wore a black dress and went to the Winter Palace to meet Nicholas II under the guidance of his uncle Sergei. Nicholas II met with Witte not in the study or in the palace, but in the fencing room, where Nicholas II was practicing with one of his guards when Witte entered the fencing room, and Witte and his uncle stood aside and watched quietly until the practice ended with Nicholas II's victory. The victorious Nicholas II took off his thick fencing armor with the help of his attendants, glanced at Werther and said: "Vasya, I haven't seen you for a long time, I remember when I was a child, I lost the sword competition with you, I don't know how good your skills are now, or the two of us will compare?" ”

After hearing this, Witt replied: "Your Majesty said that you were laughing, it was all because the minister was ignorant when he was young, and the minister has been studying for a long time and has not practiced swordsmanship for a long time, so he is definitely not as good as Your Majesty." ”

When Nicholas II heard this, he smiled and said to Witt's uncle Sergei: "Sergey, Vasya is becoming more and more modest. ”

"Back to Your Majesty, Vasya has been studying since high school, and he really rarely practices swords, and Yu Jian is indeed not as good as His Majesty." Sergei replied respectfully.

Nicholas II looked at the two of them and said: "Sergei, I heard that those monkeys are very dissatisfied with our alliance with France and Germany to let them spit out Liaodong of the Qing Kingdom, so you go and contact the English people and ask them to warn those monkeys: The Manchurian land of the Qing Kingdom belongs to our Great Russian Empire, let them worry less, otherwise our Great Russian Empire will definitely teach them how to be monkeys." ”

"Yes, Your Majesty, I'm going to communicate with the English ambassador, the French and the Germans are on our side, although the English are neutral, but after all, we are all Europa countries, and they don't dare to go too far." Sergey replied.

"Well, that's good." Nicholas II said, "All right, you all go down, I want to have a separate conversation with Vasya and talk about our friendship back then." ”

With the words of Nicholas II, everyone, including Sergei, withdrew from the sword training room, leaving only Witt and Nicholas II, Werther looked left and right, and didn't know what he should do, Nicholas II said at this time: "Vasya, don't be restrained, we used to play here a lot when we were young, you have to be like when you were young." ”

Witte said: "Back to Your Majesty, at that time Your Majesty and the ministers were young, and now Your Majesty is the Holy Caesar of the Great Russian Empire under the whole world, and the ministers should respectfully obey him. ”

"Hehe, Vasya, the things you did behind your back didn't mean much to respect the emperor." Nicholas II looked at Werther meaningfully and said.

Witte still replied respectfully: "I don't know what Your Majesty said. ”

When Nicholas II heard this, he said lightly: "I have heard that a Marxist association has recently been established in Petersburg, and that Vasya is the vice-chairman of this association, and that you have formed a 'security department' with Ulyanov, and that you have openly renounced your nobility at meetings with the workers of those machine factories. ”

"These things exist, Your Majesty." Werther replied.

"Oh?" Apparently Witt's answer was a bit out of Nicholas II's reaction, and he asked, "Aren't you going to give me a satisfactory explanation?" ”

Witte said respectfully: "Back to Your Majesty, the minister remembers that when he was a child, His Majesty once told the minister that he must blood the shame of the Crimean War, and the minister still remembers it to this day, so the minister is also seeking how to make my great Rus rise and defeat those evil infidels." ”

"You're saying you joined that association for the sake of Great Ross?" Nicholas II was surprised and asked, "Can that Marx's idea really make the whole of Rus' rise?" I've read his books, and without exception they're all on opposite sides of us. ”

Witte replied: "Back to Your Majesty, the minister has only just started to contact and does not have a specific idea, all the minister has to do is to explore, the minister wants to try, to see if this road can be taken, whether it works." ”

Nicholas II looked at the respectful but always humble and arrogant Werther and said: "Vasya, you can try, I have given you this privilege, but you must remember what you just said, and do not overdo everything, and you must remember that you are a nobleman of the glorious Russian Empire." ”

"Remember Your Majesty's teachings, thank Your Majesty for your magnanimity!" Witt leaned over and thanked him.

Nicholas II looked at him and asked, "I think your university studies are coming to an end, do you have any ideas?" ”

"The minister wants to go outside after the Lord's Nativity Day, but the minister is so old that he hasn't gone to other countries to see." Werther replied.

After hearing this, Nicholas II smiled and said: "Your idea is very good, only by going outside and seeing more, can you know how big the sky is, and the road ahead can go further." Where would you like to go? ”

Werther replied calmly: "The minister wants to go to Vienna, Paris, Berlin, London, Madrid, and then cross the Atlantic Ocean to see the American continent, and finally go to the Qing Kingdom to see, and then come back." ”

"Haha, you're on a trip around the world, I'm afraid it will take a year." Nicholas II said, "Well, I still lack a squire secretary by my side, and you don't have much to do now, so let's go to the palace to exercise first, and when the Lord is born, I will appoint you as my envoy to various places." ”

Witte didn't expect that this Nicholas II didn't put him in prison but let him enter the palace to become a chamberlain secretary, could it be that this Nicholas II had a quirk, but Witte still replied respectfully: "Thank you Your Majesty for your kindness!" ”

Nicholas II smiled and said, "As long as you serve the Great Russian Empire seriously, I will never treat the people around me badly." Well, put on your armor and try it out with me, it's not appropriate for you to be a nobleman who doesn't know how to fencing, especially the nobles of the Great Russian Empire. Witte had no choice but to take off his gown and change into a fencing suit, and chose a sword to take advantage of, and began to fight with Nicholas II.

It was already evening when Witte returned to the manor from the palace, and at this time Ulyanov was still sitting in the study waiting, and when he heard that Witte had returned, he immediately got up and asked: "Vasya, what is the situation?" ”

Witt soothed, "Ilyich, I can now be 100% sure that there are traitors or spies in our commission. We only decided at the committee meeting to set up a 'Ministry of Security', and then only six people, including Krupskaya, knew about it. ”

After hearing this, Ulyanov sighed and said: "Alas, who is so malicious to betray his comrades, if I don't know, I will definitely break him into pieces." ”

"Alright, calm down." "Ilyich, and what surprises you even more!" said Werther! ”

Ulyanov asked eagerly: "What is it?" ”

Witte smiled and said, "Our Majesty Nicholas II not only did not punish me, but also made me his chamberlain secretary, and from tomorrow I will be in the palace on an errand." ”

"What?" Ulyanov asked in surprise, seeing that Witt nodded, Ulyanov could only smile bitterly: "People are more popular than death, I said two words back then, and I was exiled to my family manor and imprisoned." ”

Witt smiled and said: "Actually, this is also a good thing for us, with such a layer of identity, it will be easier for the red group to get shelter, and it will be more convenient for us to obtain some secret information, of course, they will definitely test me at the beginning, so there will definitely not be much information." ”

Ulyanov thought for a while and said: "Vasya, what you said is right, you are just in a more dangerous situation now, you should be careful with the king like a tiger." ”

"Don't worry, Ilyich." Witt said: "In the future, one of us will be in the light and the other in the dark, and we will move forward together for our ideals!" ”

Hearing this, Ulyanov stepped forward and held Werther's hands tightly and said: "For the ideal! ”
