Struggle in Russia

Peter Barek's complexion changed immediately, because Shuvalov changed from a hidden threat to a Hong Guoguo threat, almost biting his nose and saying: "If you have a feeling, you continue to sit and watch, and see how I will be in Uva in the future." I will give you eye drops in front of Earl Rove!"

So is Peter Barek afraid?

To be honest, I was a little scared. Count Uvarov would not listen to his explanation. That one always depends on the result. If the result this time does not satisfy him, one can imagine how angry he will be!

Peter Barek could only lament. He felt that it was too difficult for him. Why did he catch up with such a bad job and let him, a dignified governor, serve such a bastard as Shuvalov!

Peter Barek was full of resentment, but he still had to do what he had to do. He could only sigh and said to Grand Duke Constantine: "Your Highness, what the count said is not wrong. What you did is too disrespectful. , even if you must let the earl stay, you must... must..."

Peter Barek had to spend a long time but couldn't come up with a suitable word to describe the behavior of Grand Duke Constantine. Naturally, he didn't know how to make Grand Duke Constantine stop.

He could only keep chanting some nonsense like a bitter woman, which not only made Grand Duke Konstantin a little annoyed, but even Shuvalov felt that this guy was really a waste!

So things froze, and Shuvalov was dragged by Grand Duke Constantine to stay in the governor. Even Peter Barek had to stay with him, not because he wanted to stay, but because he was worried that he would slip away. After leaving, Shuvalov would file a complaint, so he just stared at him together.

After such a toss, it is natural that there is no way to meet Count Rostovtsev, so when Count Rostovtsev arrived at the Governor's Palace with Grand Duke Nicholas and Grand Duke Mikhail, he saw such an astonishing sight. scene of:

Grand Duke Constantine clung to Shuvalov like an abandoned widow, preventing him from moving, and the latter could only push the former away while talking meaningless nonsense.

"How is this going?"

Count Rostovtsev asked aloud, and his arrival finally liberated Shuvalov, because he knew that there was no point in struggling any longer, and the imperial envoy could only take one step at a time when he saw everything.

The arrival of Count Rostovtsev surprised Grand Duke Konstantin. He had thought that his old father would send a trusted minister to handle the case, but it was Count Rostovtsev who arrived. He is too clear about the weight of this earl, and this case has actually worked for this earl, which shows how much his old father attaches great importance to it.

Grand Duke Constantine was both happy and nervous about this,

The happy thing is that the old father still attaches great importance to him, otherwise it would be impossible to send Count Rostovtsev to investigate the case, and it would be someone else at most, just a random minister. And he was able to work Count Rostovtsev, which is enough to prove his status in Nicholas I's mind.

The nervous thing is that it is really difficult to turn over the case. Anyway, Viscount Prozolov explained it very clearly to him. The leadership of Bestuzhev Ryumin and the third Ukrainian Ministry must not be considered, Nikolai I will definitely take it back.

But after seeing Count Rostovtsev, Grand Duke Constantine felt lucky again. What if the count could see clearly?

Anyway, his mood is very complicated, and it is definitely not clear in a few sentences. It's just that his reaction was not slow, and he immediately realized that he had to seize this opportunity to do something.

So not only did he not let go of Shuvalov, but he gripped him even tighter, and he yelled: "Tell you, don't just walk away, you think you can fool things by hiding from me, you can cover up Everything, you despicable villain, I swear that I will make you pay for your previous crimes!"

The voice was so loud that it could be heard clearly even if it was 12 meters away. Naturally, Count Rostovtsev heard it too, and he was a little surprised by the performance of Grand Duke Constantine, because Li Xiao I made it very clear to him that in this case, Grand Duke Konstantin's losses are settled, and getting rid of Bestuzhev Ryumin is also beneficial to them, so he deliberately looked at Konstantin Be pitted.

Count Rostovtsev also agreed with Li Xiao's opinion. He felt that the grand duke's ambition was a bit uncontrollable, and he always had to do some shitty things to make relatives hurt enemies and make people happy. It was very annoying. So it is really necessary to get rid of Bestuzhev Ryumin and replace the third part of Ukraine with a more suitable person.

According to Li Xiao's description, Earl Rostovtsev believed that Grand Duke Constantine would not be able to fight back against Shuvalov's conspiracy. Got angry.

But the scene just now surprised him again, because it seemed that Shuvalov was the one who had lost his temper. Anyway, Shuvalov's expression just now was really amazing. If he had a camera, he would definitely record it.

"Your Excellency, what is going on here? What's going on, His Royal Highness?"

After watching the performance of Grand Duke Constantine, Count Rostovtsev did not ask directly, but asked Peter Barek, which seemed fair.

Peter Barek is actually a little nervous now. On the one hand, this farce was actually seen by the imperial envoy, and it will definitely reach the ears of Nicholas I in the future. Obviously, as the governor, he did not control the situation very well. stain.

In addition, he was actually a little gloating, thinking that Shuvalov should be unlucky, should he add oil or vinegar?

After pondering for a while, Peter Barek replied very carefully: "The thing is like this. His Royal Highness has been looking for Shuvalov today. It seems that he has something important to look for, but the count said that he is busy with work. I don’t have time to explain His Highness’s doubts, and then the Earl wanted to leave, but His Highness refused to let the Earl go…”

Earl Rostovtsev frowned at this answer, because he was a little confused, because according to common sense, the Grand Duke Konstantin, who was at a comprehensive disadvantage, should avoid Shuvalov, but why did he turn his back and take the initiative to attack? up?

However, Count Rostovtsev reacted very quickly, and immediately realized that it was very likely that Grand Duke Constantine had found a way to make a comeback, so he dared to take the initiative to provoke him. In this way, this trip to Kiev became It's even more fun...
