Struggle in Russia

Count Uvarov was stunned, because such a big and critical case was closed, and no one informed him. It was not until the gossip became popular in St. Petersburg that it was the old Adlerberg who told him. What the hell is this? ?

You must know that he is only on sick leave for recuperation, and he is not really retired for retirement. It's not time for people to have tea!

Even if it's just a matter of time, he's still the Minister of National Education, so the cabinet has to give him some hesitation, right?

Even if Nesselrode didn't see him in his eyes, Nicholas I couldn't possibly ignore his confidant, right? As Nicholas I's literary courage, the result of such a big case, and a case closely related to him, he should be notified no matter what!

However, none of the parties thought of informing him, and he, Uvarov, was just forgotten in a corner. Simply unheard of!

For a moment, Count Uvarov was anxious and angry. The anxious thing was that he knew that this time the matter was really serious, otherwise Nicholas I could not have not informed.

Obviously not informing him is a warning from that majesty!

Annoyed, this approach is so hurtful. Uvarov felt that he still had credit for Russia, and took a step back and said that even if there is no credit, there will always be hard work! For the sake of serving the country conscientiously for so many years, he should be notified no matter what.

But it just didn't, this is not even giving him the most basic respect, this is humiliating him!

Count Uvarov was so angry that he almost had a heart attack, but it was impossible for an old fox like him to be so angry to death, otherwise he would not be able to live today, nor would he be able to sit in his current position.

Soon he suppressed the anger in his heart, and said to old Adlerberg very calmly: "Is there nothing else going on besides these recently?"

Old Adlerberg was also quite frightened, as smart as he was, he quickly thought of the questions that Count Uvarov had just thought of. As a bystander, he was even more nervous!

After all, his favor has not been as good as before in recent years. In the past, relying on Nicholas I's favor and relationship with the queen, even if Count Uvarov fell, he could still stand.

But in the past few years, he has been really idle. A while ago, Peter Volkonski had a stroke and recuperated. He thought that the Minister of Palace Affairs should be his, but after half a year, he is still only a deputy. Even if it was reported that Peter Volkonski was getting worse day by day, and even became incontinent, Nicholas I did not remove him from his post, nor did he mention the matter of the new Minister of Court Affairs.

Old Adlerberg had to inquire about the news from the Queen's side,

The result made him very disappointed. According to the empress, Nicholas I did not intend to make him a full-time member. As long as Peter Volkonski does not lose heart for a day, this position will be his!

It must be a lie that old Adlerberg was not disappointed, but he also understood that Nicholas I might not have a big opinion of him. If it weren't for the fact that he is still useful and there is no more suitable candidate, I am afraid that he, the deputy minister of court affairs, would not be able to work for long.

Anyway, at that time old Adlerberg knew that as long as Nicholas I was in power for one day, he would have to be a man with his tail between his legs. Naturally, he was getting closer to Count Uvarov. After all, relying on his own strength alone was not enough to gain a foothold in the top elite circle in St. Petersburg. He had to rely on Count Uvarov to gain a foothold.

But now Count Uvarov has also been hit in the head, and the big case closely related to him, Nicholas I, didn't even inform him. It is conceivable how serious the supreme opinion is to him.

In fact, this can all be seen as some kind of signal, which means that Count Uvarov's family has also begun to deteriorate. It can even be seen as a signal that Count Uvarov is going downhill or even quitting politics.

It's just that old Adlerberg didn't dare to say these words, he only dared to whisper in his heart.

But even if old Adlerberg didn't say that Count Uvarov himself was aware of it, that's why he was a little panicked and a little overwhelmed. Because he had never encountered such a situation in the past twenty years, and he had no experience in dealing with it.

But Earl Uvarov knew that he had to keep calm, at least he couldn't get into trouble. First of all, he had to keep this terrible news to a minimum, because once it spread, the consequences would be unimaginable!

Immediately, he gave old Adlerberg a sideways glance, and this glance made old Adlerberg terrified. The old fox immediately realized that he was in big trouble, because for the time being, he and Count Uvarov were the only ones who knew about the fatal situation.

It is naturally impossible for Count Uvarov to expose his ugliness with a big mouth, so whether he, an outsider, can pay attention to his tongue, or whether he is reliable enough is the key to the matter.

If Count Uvarov felt that he was unreliable, then it was conceivable that Count Uvarov's prudence would definitely deal with his trouble in advance.

So well!

Old Adlerberg immediately said: "Count, I don't think there is any need to inform the public about this situation. It is possible that His Majesty is worried about your health and wants you to take a good rest so he didn't inform you. After all, this case has nothing to do with you." It's a direct relationship!"

Count Uvarov gave old Adlerberg a meaningful look, and said from the bottom of his heart that at first he wanted to simply kill the old fox and kill him. But later, considering that their group has been a mess recently, the sudden treatment of the old Adlerberg at this time may add fuel to the fire, and it may detonate even bigger troubles.

Then, this old guy has a good attitude and is quite clever. He must also know the seriousness of the matter. A smart person like him should know what to do to the best advantage.

Sure enough, his statement was very good, and he had already rotted the matter in his stomach by default. Count Uvarov believed that the most important thing at this time was not to deal with him, but to quickly find out the attitude of Nicholas I and his majesty. What exactly does that mean.

This is the priority!

So he immediately said to old Adlerberg: "After such a big thing, I don't have the heart to recuperate. I must return to St. Petersburg immediately. I will go now. You will go with me. I will also inform Bariatinsky. They have a meeting immediately! The situation is urgent, we must discuss countermeasures immediately!"

In fact, discussing countermeasures is fake. For Earl Uvarov, it is necessary to find out what attitude these little boys like Bariatinsky have on this matter, and find out whether these guys have also made some small moves behind his back...
