Struggle in Russia

Count Uvarov became cold, and the Duke of Ordorf next to him could see clearly. When Nicholas I finished speaking these few words, the count's face was uglier than an eggplant.

This made Duke Ordorf feel a little bit secretly, he had disliked Count Uvarov for a long time. Obviously this guy is just a minister of national education, so it stands to reason that you just do a good job of teaching and educating people honestly.

But Earl Uvarov is not. Under the guise of education, this fellow is often full of great principles such as benevolence and morality, and he will intervene in anything that does not conform to his interests or ideas.

If it's a normal thing, that's fine. Sometimes it is a good thing that is obviously profitable, such as things like the cable telegram last time, he also jumped out to interfere. These years have blocked many people's money.

Duke Aldorf thought he was too much, and that was not the worst part. The worst thing was that he clearly explained to him what was going on in secret, and asked him to save face and stop being a shit stick, but he was still relying on his elders, relying on Nicholas I's favor, he would not give up.

This is very disgusting. In the past, the Duke of Aldorf was concerned about his great strength, and had a large number of fans helping him to wave the flag. He didn't dare to really offend him, so he could only try to prevent him from doing bad things.

But today, he finally saw the time when this fellow was deflated, what a joy!

Of course, Duke Ordorf knew very well that the reason why this guy strongly opposed Count Rostovtsev's appointment as an imperial envoy was probably because Kiev's buttocks had not been wiped clean, for fear of being caught or flawed.

This also indirectly shows that there must be a problem with Kiev, and the case is definitely not that simple. He considered whether he should step in and give this pretentious bastard a bad dose of medicine.

"It's a little risky!"

After hearing Duke Ordorf's thoughts, Duke Mikhail's expression was quite serious. Although he is also Kuuvarov, is this really a good opportunity?

"That guy has hit a wall with His Majesty, and with his personality, he will never let it go. And as you said, if there is a big problem in Kiev, he is even less likely to sit still, so he will immediately try to eliminate hidden dangers. I'm afraid his methods are not easy to mess with!"

Duke Ordorf was a little unwilling to listen to these words, and it was true that Uvarov was not easy to mess with as Duke Mikhail said. However, this opportunity is not available at all times. This time he offended Nicholas I, and it is unlikely that he will be protected by Nicholas I as before. This is tantamount to abolishing his biggest protective umbrella. If Don't dare to teach him a lesson at this time, then you should detour if you see him in the future!

"I didn't say it wasn't an opportunity!"

See Duke Aldorf is not happy,

Prince Mikhail quickly appeased him: "I mean we must be cautious, not reckless, at least we can't rush to the front and confront him head-on, it is best to let that Count Rostovtsev take advantage of the fire, and then we will take advantage of it." !"

Duke Ordorf felt that this was not bad. After all, he did not intend to get on the horse and touch Uvarov's tiger's butt himself. Varov just put on eye drops.

Duke Aldorf thought for a while and suddenly said: "Mikhail, this matter is closely related to Grand Duke Constantine. What kind of attitude should we have?"

This was a bit vague, but Duke Mikhail understood it. He was just asking if he should contact or join forces with Grand Duke Constantine. If the Grand Duke can cooperate with him to form an offensive and defensive alliance, there is no possibility that Uvarov will be deflated.

To be honest, Duke Mikhail is also very excited about this possibility. Uvarov is really annoying, and it would be great if he could get rid of him. But he thought about it for a while, then shook his head and said:

"It's not appropriate, His Majesty and the Crown Prince are watching there, it's no good getting too close to Grand Duke Constantine!"

Prince Mikhail's mind is still clear. Although they have been unhappy with Uvarov for a long time, after all, the grievances with Uvarov have not risen to the level of life and death. Let them risk everything to fight against Uvarov, they will not do it.

Especially this time when Grand Duke Constantine was involved again, the attitude towards the two brothers, Duke Mikhail and Duke Mikhail, was neither close nor offended, and they would never hook up without necessary relationship.

Because their brothers know very well that the country will eventually be handed over to Crown Prince Alexander, who is the future master of Russia. Getting too close to the Grand Duke Constantine is tantamount to cutting himself off from the Crown Prince. They can still distinguish the seriousness of it.

But this time, as long as he has a little brain, he knows that Crown Prince Alexander is mostly on the side of Count Uvarov. Anyway, for him these days, as long as he is against Grand Duke Constantine, he will support him. be opposed to.

If Uvarov was given eye drops in front of Crown Prince Alexander at this time, it would be easy for the Crown Prince to misunderstand, so it should be avoided.

Duke Aldorf actually knew this truth, but he felt that this opportunity was too rare. If he didn't mess with Uvarov, his heart would itch all of a sudden. He had held it in for too long and wanted to vent his anger.

But Duke Mikhail's resolute attitude immediately made him sober up, how stupid it must be to offend Crown Prince Alexander for a little emotional dispute!

He's not a fool, and naturally he doesn't want to be such a fool, so he just laughed dryly and made a haha, and then asked again: "Would you like to contact Wallachia, we There is not much sense of presence in Ukraine, and the one in Wallachia has a good relationship with the Black Sea Fleet, but it will save us a lot of trouble..."

Prince Mikhail was silent again. He was quite hesitant to contact Li Xiao and Alexei, because the relationship between the two parties has shown signs of weakening recently, but this time they are not particularly effective in Ukraine. relationship, and even if there is, I dare not use it openly. After all, I want to avoid the eyes and ears of Crown Prince Alexander!

This also determines that their strength is not enough, at least not enough to deal with predators like Uvarov, even if there are Grand Duke Constantine and Count Rostovtsev rushing forward, it is inevitable that they will feel a little bit disappointed. end.

After pondering for a long time, Duke Mikhail said: "Let me tell them. After all, Uvarov doesn't have a good impression of them. Dealing with that old guy is also beneficial to them. They should agree..."
