Struggle in Russia

For a while, Count Uvarov was entangled and in a dilemma. At this time, he really regretted that he had stood up too early, and he should let others explore Nicholas I's mind again.

But who made him stand up? It's not easy to go back, at least none of these people in the study is willing to give him a hand. There are many people who even hope that he will make a fool of himself, such as Count Rostovtsev and Duke Ordorf.

Especially the latter, who was sneering in his heart, thinking about how to put eye drops on Count Uvarov!

Why is the relationship between Duke Ordorf and Count Uvarov so tense? Not only the previous cable telegram incident, but more importantly, Duke Ordorf was caught off guard by the fact that Kiev's third department had brought up such a big case this time.

Anyway, he didn't believe that Bestuzhev Ryumin had anything to do with the rebellious party, and he couldn't be fooled by such nonsense. After thinking about it for a while, he knew that Count Uvarov's people must be making a name for themselves, probably to avenge the defeat of the Black Sea Fleet!

Duke Ordorf is not interested in the hatred and disputes between Count Uvarov and Grand Duke Constantine. For him, these two groups of people can fight in any way, and it is best to fight with one and lose both.

But the Duke of Aldorf has only one request. You two can fight however you want, as long as you don't implicate others and don't hurt Chi Yu.

But this time Count Uvarov’s efforts to make a name for himself happened to be the third part of Kiev. Although the third part in various places has great power and greater autonomy, the Duke of Ordorf is also the third part. The titular boss.

Anyone who comes to his land to do something, no matter what, he should be notified, tell him, or even ask him about his attitude in advance if he is more polite.

But this time it happened, and the Duke of Aldorf only found out about it after seeing the report from Kiev.

Actually, with the status of Earl Uvarov, it’s fine to kill him first and then play it later. If something happens, you can come to the Duke of Ordorf and tell him. At least a fake apology can be regarded as giving the Duke of Ordorf some points. Thin noodles.

The problem is, there is nothing. There was no announcement before the incident, and Count Uvarov did not say anything after the incident. Would you be comfortable if you were the Duke of Aldorf?

Of course we all know that it would be inappropriate to place all the blame on Count Uvarov. After all, Count Shuvalov also cut first and then played, and he caught Count Uvarov by surprise.

But the biggest problem with Count Uvarov is that he didn't say anything after the incident.

Probably because he was angry with the Duke of Aldorf because of the cable telegram before, and he didn't want to deal with the Duke of Aldorf.

Or he feels that he is very powerful, even if he doesn't know the Duke of Aldorf, there is no problem.

He didn't do anything anyway, and now he should pay for it!

Just when he was struggling, the Duke of Aldorf interjected: "Your Majesty, this case is of great importance. Why don't you let me go there and see what's going on?"

It is quite acceptable for the Duke of Ordorf to recommend himself to Nicholas I. At least he thinks that the Duke of Ordorf is not a party of Uvarov, and he has always done things relatively reliably. It should be no problem to hand over this case to him.

While Nicholas I was still considering the Duke of Ordorf's self-recommendation, Count Uvarov was in a hurry.

Because he finally remembered that what he did before seemed very unkind, and he didn't give Duke Aldorf face at all. If the Duke of Aldorf really took over the job, he could not give him face, and he immediately became nervous.

Before Nicholas I could speak, Count Uvarov hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, the Duke of Ordorf has a heavy official business and cannot leave St. Petersburg lightly. It is not appropriate to entrust him with this task..."

In fact, Count Uvarov didn't want to use an inappropriate description, but after thinking about it, he couldn't find a more suitable word to describe it. It can't be said that the Duke of Aldorf has an old grudge with him, and he is worried that he will do bad things intentionally.

Nicholas I glanced at Count Uvarov, and saw that the latter was a little hairy, but he didn't say anything after all, he just hummed lightly and said: "It's really overkill for the Duke to investigate such a trivial matter. Is there anyone else willing to recommend themselves to investigate this case?"

Count Uvarov breathed a sigh of relief. When Nicholas I glared at him just now, he was really worried that His Majesty would dismiss it and send the Duke of Ordorf over!

Now it seems that such a bad possibility has not happened, it is really lucky!

At this time, Count Uvarov finally realized his huge mistake before. He shouldn't have made the relationship with Duke Aldorf so stiff, especially after what happened in Kiev before. The Duke of Husband said hello.

Otherwise, now he doesn't need to worry about the Duke of Aldorf will spoil him at all, even if Nicholas I sends the Duke of Aldorf there, it doesn't matter.

It’s just that it’s a little late to wake up now, and after this incident, even if Uvarov wants to repair the relationship with Duke Ordorf, the price he will pay will be even greater. Anyway, it’s definitely not just a few words. Something that can solve the problem.

Of course, at this moment, Uvarov can't take care of the Duke of Ordorf for the time being, because Nicholas I asked just now, who else wants to recommend himself to investigate the case? Anyone else willing to investigate?

Look at the courtiers called by Nicholas I. After removing the Duke of Ordov and Count Uvarov, only Count Rostovtsev and a few grand dukes are left. Then Nicholas I Who is implying that he hastened to recommend himself?

Anyway, Uvarov didn't believe that Nicholas I was implying Crown Prince Alexander. Let's put it this way, anyone else in this room could investigate this case, but he didn't have this possibility.

Because the relationship between Crown Prince Alexander and Grand Duke Constantine has been too tense in recent years, if Crown Prince Alexander is sent, Grand Duke Constantine may be killed by him.

For the time being, Nicholas I didn't mean to kill Grand Duke Constantine, so it is absolutely impossible for Crown Prince Alexander to investigate the case.

After excluding Crown Prince Alexander, only Count Rostovtsev and the other two grand dukes remained, so who was Nicholas I implying?
