Witte spent three days in Minusinsk, and the two governors and mayors who were going to frame others became prisoners, and the head of the Minusinsk Oblast Royal Intelligence Directorate, Kolskin, did not escape, and after a severe punishment, the captured 25 Marxists were released without care, and the rest awaited them the fate of being purged by the new head of the intelligence bureau.

The newly appointed head of the Minusinsk Oblast Intelligence Sub-Directorate was a member of the second group of the Red Group. Pavlovich. Chersky, of course, this is his pseudonym, is an orphan born in St. Petersburg, but his parents died when he was a child, originally a worker at the Karslav Mechanical Plant, who later joined the Red Group, and then was selected to join the Intelligence Service, this time Markovich sent him to the Minusinsk Region as the head of the Intelligence Bureau, covering the local Marxists while taking care of Ulyanov, as for his real name, I am afraid that many people have forgotten it except himself.

"Pavlovich, I'll leave the Minusinsk region to you, you must take care of Ulyanov." Before getting on the train, Witt once again said to Chirsky.

Chersky replied solemnly: "Please rest assured No. 0, I will definitely take care of Mr. Ulyanov." ”

"In addition to taking care of Mr. Ulyanov, you must also try your best to get in touch with the local Marxists, so that they can also go to Shoushan Village more often, and if Mr. Ulyanov has anything that needs to be passed on, he will pass it back to Petersburg as soon as possible." Ershov, who was standing beside Werther, also admonished.

"Woo......" The train sounded, and it was clear that the departure time was approaching, and Witte and Ershov told them something again, boarded the train, and sped away in the direction of Petersburg. Witt's departure calmed the local officials in an instant, but when they saw Chirsky's dark blue Intelligence Service uniform, they still shuddered for no reason.

After leaving Minusinsk, Witte did not return directly to Petersburg, but traveled south from Moscow to the Caucasus, then to Poland-Lithuania via Ukraine, and then to Petersburg via Finland, and by the time he arrived in Petersburg, it was already May 10, and at this time it was only a week before the coronation of Nicholas II, and the place of Nicholas II's coronation was not in Petersburg, but in Moscow, so Witte had to travel from Petersburg to Moscow again.

In the Moscow Kremlin, Nicholas II was trying on a dress for tomorrow's celebration in his bedchamber, while Witte, who had returned from the dust, stood aside. After trying on clothes, Nicholas II put on a simple outfit, sat at his desk, looked at Werther and said, "You went out to make a big mess this time, should you give me an explanation?" ”

Witte replied respectfully: "Your Majesty, this time the minister has indeed handled the matter a little excessively, so the minister is willing to take all the responsibility, and I implore Your Majesty to allow the minister to resign from the post of director of the intelligence bureau." ”

"You did not handle it well this time, but I have to say that the law and order has improved during this time, and those annoying constitutionalists have also stabilized." Nicholas II said lightly, and then changed his words and said, "I want to appease the ministers anyway, so I will approve your resignation, what candidate do you have to recommend?" ”

Witt replied: "The head of the Intelligence Section of the Intelligence Bureau, Eric . . . Anjipovich. Arkhipov was loyal to His Majesty and could take over the work of his minister. ”

Nicholas II looked at Witte and nodded: "Then let him be in charge of the work of the Intelligence Bureau for the time being, as for you, you can't completely let go, you still have to give more guidance." ”

"I understand." Witte said, "Your Majesty, the minister feels that at present, all countries are strengthening their combat readiness, and our intelligence bureau cannot only operate at home, so the minister is ready to go to various countries to establish intelligence branches after His Majesty's coronation ceremony, so that he can obtain accurate and timely information for His Majesty's reference." ”

Nicholas II smiled and said, "You still can't forget your trip around the world." But your idea is also very good, this time you will go secretly, and it is also good to avoid domestic affairs. You've worked hard to go out this time, you've been running all the way, tomorrow is the canon, you go back and rest first, and come back early tomorrow morning. ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Werther respectfully thanked him and left the palace for his manor on the outskirts of Moscow, where he knew his parents and uncle were waiting for him.

Entering the manor, before Witt could rest, Witt's uncle Sergei said dissatisfiedly: "Vasya, you are too reckless this time, although you have won the favor of Your Majesty, but you have offended many people, from now on you can only become a knife of Your Majesty, and there is absolutely no way to rise in politics." ”

"Uncle, I know all these things." Witt took a sip of water and replied, "But if I don't do this, how can I deal with the repercussions of the assassination of Goremygin and Bedonoszev?" His Majesty is already quite dissatisfied with me about these two things. ”

When Sergei heard this, he replied: "But you have also gone too far, and more than 20,000 people have been involved in all of Russia, you must know that these people are intertwined behind them, and some of them are connected with our Witte family, and you have made our entire family isolated." ”

Witt glanced at his uncle lightly, then looked at his father and uncle, and then said with a smile: "Uncle, you only need to discuss the construction of the Trans-Siberian Railway in the territory of the Qing State with that Li Zhongtang of the Qing Kingdom, and some other things. As for the father, as long as he continued to strictly investigate the constitutionalists in Baku, and the uncle continued to teach at his own university, our Werther family would not only not be lonely, but would soon become the object of all the families of Russia. ”

After finishing speaking, Witt paused and said, "I'll go and rest first, I have to enter the palace early tomorrow, and there will be no time to rest tomorrow." With that, Werther left and went to his bedroom to rest, leaving only the three Werther brothers, who looked at each other.

On May 18, 1896 in the Russian calendar, on May 30 in the Western calendar, the coronation ceremony was held in the Moscow Kremlin, on the same day, all the royal families and republican governments of the world sent members to participate, in this coronation ceremony Witte also saw the Li Zhongtang for the first time, he was wearing the official uniform of the Qing court, and he was standing next to Ito Hirobumi who persecuted Li Hongzhang in Maguan, only to see Ito Hirofumi wearing a Western-style dress and Li Hongzhang's official uniform of the Qing court formed a huge contrast.

The Kremlin is being crowned and a grand garden tour is being held on Horden Square outside Moscow. The square is lined with circuses and stalls. It was heard that according to tradition, His Majesty the Emperor would come and distribute gifts to the masses, so many people flocked to Hoden Square. More than 500,000 people are concentrated in an area of about nine square kilometers. The square is uneven, with many potholes and ditches, and the government has not taken any safety measures. As a result, the crowd was heckling, and those in the back crowded out the people in front, killing two thousand people and injuring tens of thousands. The news reached Witte after the coronation, and Witte immediately reported it to Nicholas II, who looked a little unhappy after hearing this, and then said lightly: "Let the mayor of Moscow deal with it." You went to prepare for today's dinner, and so many envoys and dignitaries arrived, did you make this matter a disgrace to Russia? ”

After listening to Nicholas II's words, Witte looked at His Majesty in the hearts of the people in shock, full of disgust, but this Nicholas II did not have time to pay attention to Witt's surprise, but began to talk with the representative of the British royal family on the same side, with a satisfied smile on his face, obviously getting some good news.
