Menshkov?

When Uvarov heard that Count Rostovtsev recommended the old eunuch, he fell into deep thought.

Uvarov knew very well the personality of Nicholas I. As the most important counsel of the tsar, he knew very well what position he and Count Rostovtsev had in his heart.

Objectively speaking, the roles of the two of them are highly overlapped, just like the crouching dragon and phoenix chicks, one is enough. But Nicholas I knew this, but he always took the trouble to consult them both at the same time every time a major issue. What does this mean?

It shows that the czar didn’t believe them in his heart, and kept them both at the same time just in case, otherwise only one person would be enough.

This is not known to Uvarov only now, he knew it many years ago, but why has he never said anything? Don’t try to be the only military division?

The reason is very simple. Uvarov knew that it was impossible. The suspicious nature of Nicholas I could not just believe in the words of a counselor. He would definitely listen to opinions and make decisions on major issues, so that he could avoid certain problems. The counselor’s family dominates the big tail.

So even if there was no Count Rostovtsev, Nicholas I would excavate and search for other people who could replace that Count. At that time, the situation might have been worse for Uvarov.

Why do you say that? Because over the years, he himself felt that he had gotten close with Count Rostovtsev. Both sides knew the basics and knew how to make suggestions that would be best for him, the country, and Nicholas I.

If you switch to other people, especially those with a very difficult political orientation, such as the Duke Alexander, Uvarov will have an even more headache.

For example, now, when I heard that the candidate recommended by Count Rostovtsev was Menshkov, what Uvarov needed to think at the first time was not whether this candidate was so suitable, whether it was Count Rostovtsev. He didn’t have to think so much about this, because he knew that Count Rostovtsev was unlikely to have such a reputation. Because they all know each other too well, it doesn’t make sense to know that it’s boring.

The only thing Uvarov needs to think about is two points. The first choice is whether Menshkov will hinder his interests, and the second whether Menshkov will satisfy Nicholas I. If there is no problem with these two points, then he will nod in agreement, and then the matter will be settled.

So let me talk about the first point. Will Menshkov hinder the interests of Uvarov or the conservatives. This is in fact unquestionable, because Menshkov is inherently a conservative, and his staidness and stubbornness are sometimes stronger than that of Uvarov. You can suspect that Baryatinsky and his gang jumped for some reason. Instead, Menshkov will not.

In other words, Uvarov will not oppose Menshkov as a special envoy from the factional point of view. As for the second point, could Menshkov satisfy Nicholas I?

Uvarov knew for a moment that Nicholas I would be satisfied with this choice. First of all, Menshkov was his most trusted general. Secondly, Menshkov was almost loyal to him, and finally Menshko The husband’s qualifications and prestige are also sufficient to convince the public. In this way, there is no problem naturally!

So Uvarov replied directly: “Prince Menshkov is a good candidate. He has done diplomacy, he can understand your majesty’s intentions, and he has enough prestige and qualifications…”

Well, these words are too familiar to Nicholas I, because Count Rostovtsev has already told him. Since the two confidantes said so, he naturally felt that Menshkov was the right option.

However, he didn’t immediately nod his head in agreement, but pretended to be reserved and said: “Well, then I will consider again…”

In fact, he wasn’t prepared to think about it anymore. Once Count Uvarov left, he ordered the servant to let Menshkov enter the palace immediately.

The poor old **** rushed to the Winter Palace hurriedly, thinking that something major had happened, but what was waiting for him was a painful chore!

“Envoy to Turkey?”

Menshkov was stunned, because he couldn’t figure out why this unlucky job would fall on him. He is not a member of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and he hasn’t been involved with this kind of thing before. No matter how you look at this job, it shouldn’t be his turn!

The most important thing is that the old **** doesn’t want to go, because he is getting older and his energy is not as good as the day. He really doesn’t want to toss this trip for thousands of miles. Is he uncomfortable staying in St. Petersburg?

Of course, Menshkov did not dare to say stupidly that he did not want to go, because he also knew what kind of temper Nicholas I was. He most hated being rejected by his courtiers, or that the courtiers did not act according to his ideas.

Now it is clear that Nicholas I was not consulting Menshkov, but wanted the old **** to visit. However, the old **** was really unwilling to go, so he tactfully refused: “Weichen is willing to serve as a special envoy to Turkey and do his part to liberate the Bulgarian brothers, but he is a little worried that he will not be able to complete his majesty’s heavy trust in old age and physical weakness …”

Menshkov felt that as long as he smeared his face, Nicholas I should reconsider, but what he did not expect was that Nicholas I interrupted his “self-defeating” with a wave of his hand: “This Only an experienced veteran like you can handle important national affairs. Don’t be overly humble. You must be yours!”

This sentence made Menshkov’s refusal to be unable to speak, and the old **** had to take over the task reluctantly. And this time the entire officialdom of St. Petersburg was a sensation.

why? Because in the past three years, Menshkov’s sense of existence has become lower and lower, and it seems that Nicholas I has not favored him as much as before. Most people think that within a few years, this old guy will automatically sue his hometown and withdraw from the sight of everyone.

So when there was news that Nicholas I was going to send a special envoy to Turkey, many people thought that this was his opportunity. For example, the old Adlerberg once again made up his mind to send his son Adlerberg the younger. Push it up.

Everyone thinks that Turkey is very bullying. Being this special envoy is a chance to take credit for nothing, but suddenly Nicholas I handed this task directly to the old and mediocre Menshkov before they could move up and down. It was simply broken. Are the glasses that fell on the floor okay?

Of course, these people would be even more surprised and angry if they knew that Menshkov didn’t want to think about it. They would think that the old **** is in the blessing and knows no good fortune!
