On December 6, Ulyanov was secretly escorted by agents of the secret police department on a train to Siberia, and on this day Tsar Nicholas II announced the reorganization of the former Petersburg secret police into the Imperial Intelligence Service of the Russian Empire, which was directly responsible to the emperor, and its office was located at 2 Hovaya Street in Petersburg. Borisovich. Werther was the first director of the Royal Intelligence Service, so Werther was promoted to colonel of the Guards. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

In the last part of 1895, Witte was nervous about reorganizing the reorganized Royal Intelligence Service, and on the other hand, he was constantly making the Tsar unhappy through the Red Group. On December 24, 1895, on the eve of the Nativity Day, Interior Minister Goremykin was attacked and killed on his way to the Winter Palace to attend a banquet hosted by Nicholas II. Fedorovich. Petrov did not evacuate after the successful attack, but read the "Manifesto of the Petersburg Marxist Association" on the spot and read out Goremykin's many indictments, and then committed suicide with a bullet. Nicholas II was furious at this and ordered Witte to immediately intensify the rectification of the Royal Intelligence Service and to punish the Marxists.

The day after the Feast of the Nativity, Witte came to the Winter Palace to meet Nicholas II, "Your Majesty, this is a report on the assassination of His Excellency Goremykin that has been investigated by the ministers, and I would like to ask your Majesty to look at it." As he spoke, he put his hands in front of Nicholas II.

"Oh, there's been a report so soon?" Nicholas II looked through the report as he spoke, and Nicholas II looked at it very carefully, and it took Nicholas II more than half an hour to read the more than 20-page report completely, and then said: "Are you saying that this incident is not only Marxists, but also liberals and populists?" ”

Witt replied seriously: "Yes, Your Majesty. According to the investigation of the minister, the incident was carried out by Alexander. Fedorovich. Petrov was ostensibly a member of the Petersburg Marxist Association, but in fact he had been a populist before joining the organization, and according to the archives of the former Secret Intelligence Service, he learned that his information was on file with the Secret Police and was placed under surveillance as a populist radical. Therefore, the minister reasoned that the time of His Excellency Goremykin showed that the Marxists had united with the populists and the radicals among the liberals, and that this was perhaps only the first step in their plan. ”

Nicholas II listened carefully to Werther's report, thought for a moment and then said: "Vasya, you have handled this matter very well and analyzed it correctly, so what are your plans for the next step?" ”

"The next step of the minister is to put a long line to catch a big fish, the Royal Intelligence Service has been organized, and the minister will continue to monitor the key elements listed in the previous file, whether he is a populist, liberal or Marxist, as soon as he finds a problem, he will immediately arrest him." "Then the minister will further strengthen the monitoring of the original liberal and populist members of the government, and the minister will always feel that the intention of these people to join the government will not be so simple." ”

When Nicholas II heard this, he said: "Well, just do what you think." ”

Witte answered, and then said: "Your Majesty, I hope that Your Majesty will take note of some of the recent remarks made by the representatives of the various local self-government bureaus who have come to Petersburg to attend the New Year's celebrations. ”

"Oh, what did those people say?" Nicholas II asked curiously.

"Back to Your Majesty," replied, "a number of people, headed by the liberal deputy, Pyotr Dmitrievich Svyatopolk-Mirsky, openly talked about the constitution and the formation of a constitutional government, and these people began to form organizations with the same ideals. ”

Nicholas II sneered: "These people are getting bolder and bigger, when the first emperor was there, in order to make the empire better development, he made considerable compromises to the liberals, I didn't expect these people to be so arrogant." Vasya, you continue to monitor these people, remember that you must crucify these people for me, and I will also find an opportunity to let this person understand what can be thought about and what is best not to think about. ”

January 1, 1896, in fact, according to the Western calendar, this day is already January 13, but Russia has always regarded itself as Orthodox Christianity, so the Julian calendar has been used since Peter the Great, and this calendar is 12 days later than the Gregorian calendar used in other European countries in the 19th century, and 13 days later in the 20th century. On this day, according to Russian tradition, after the morning prayer, the ministers gathered in the council hall to congratulate His Majesty the Emperor, and then held a New Year's banquet at the court after the evening prayer.

This day was held as always, and when the ministers congratulated Nicholas II, it should have been time for everyone to prepare for the evening service, but at this time Nicholas II spoke: "You are all the humerus of the empire, and you have dedicated everything to the empire, and today I thank you on behalf of the empire and the monarchs for your hard work. ”

Although the ministers did not understand why Nicholas II suddenly came like this, under the leadership of Prime Minister Vyacheslav Plevy and the head of the General Administration of Orthodox Affairs, Pobedonoszev, they all said to Nicholas II: "Thank you, Your Majesty, and the ministers will bow down and die." ”

"Since I ascended the throne, I have been diligent and diligent, and whenever I think about what my father and previous emperors have done for the empire, I dare not have a trace of slackness." After the ministers had finished speaking, Nicholas II continued: "But there are some people who are afraid that the world will not be in chaos, and this trend of thought has been especially worse lately! ”

Nicholas II's eyes swept everyone present, and all the ministers avoided after listening to Nicholas II's words, but they all knew in their hearts that this majesty was really angry, and it seemed that someone was going to be unlucky, at this time Nicholas II withdrew his eyes and continued: "Now there are some people among the deputies of the local self-government bureau who are thinking nonsense, thinking that the representatives of the local self-government bureau should participate in the state administration. I want you to know that all I have to do is to remain steadfast in the principles of the autocracy, just as my father will not be forgotten."

It was only at this moment that everyone understood that it seemed that those liberals must have done something that should not have been done, and Pyotr Dmitrievich Svyatopolk-Mirsky, who was interested in constitutional politics in a liberal organization, was suddenly shivering on the field, and he really did not think that the conversation with a few colleagues in the past two days would be known to His Majesty, so how should he live his life in the future? While Pyotr Dmitrievich Svyatopolk-Mirsky was thinking, Nicholas II regained his smile and said: "Well, that's all I have to say. ”

Many people did not expect an ordinary pilaga to become what it is now, but the first thing many people thought of when they came out of the Winter Palace was that 1896 would not be easy, including Werther's father. On the way home, Witt's father asked, "Vasya, what exactly is Your Majesty referring to?" Why was the representative of the Autonomous Directorate suddenly mentioned? ”

If there is anything that Werther's father Boris is most happy about coming back this time, it is that his son has become a close minister of His Majesty, and it is only for the sake of great importance. Of course, Witte also knew what his father was thinking, so he said: "Father, a few days ago, Pyotr Dmitrievich Svyatopolk-Mirsky gathered a group of people to discuss the establishment of a constitution and the implementation of constitutional politics. ”

Boris nodded after hearing this, then looked at Witt again and said, "Vasya, you are not young now, it is time for you to tell you about your family." ”

Werther didn't expect the final ending to be like this, and he didn't react for a while and exclaimed: "Huh?! ”
