Struggle in Russia

Count Uvarov was immediately dumbfounded, because he really didn’t expect things to turn out to be like this. Isn’t it clear that Duke Mikhail or Duke Nicholas should be the protagonist? How come this fellow, Count Rostovtsev, is in charge?

There was a buzzing in his head, realizing that things seemed a bit bad.

It is not that Uvarov has ascertained Count Rostovtsev’s old-fashioned attributes, knowing that he is the boss behind the reform party. It was that he had been with Count Rostovtsev for so many years, and he knew the temper of this man.

In his eyes, Count Rostovtsev, in addition to the deep city and the lack of joy and anger, the most notable feature is the superiority. Especially this last point impressed him very much.

He felt that Count Rostovtsev was obedient to Nicholas I. As long as it was the order of the tsar, he would execute it without any discount, even if Nicholas I ordered him to be shot. Son, Count Rostovtsev will not hesitate!

Moreover, Count Rostovtsev always lived in a simple way, never had in-depth exchanges or contacts with other dignitaries, and was completely a lone minister.

Such a person can neither buy nor talk about feelings. The stones in the pit are stinky and hard.

There is no way to deal with such a hard character, Count Uvarov. What’s more, such a person is still trusted by Nicholas I. The holy family is only a lot more than him, so that he is a mouse and a tortoise with nowhere to start!

Anyway, realizing that Count Rostovtsev might go to investigate this case, Count Uvarov immediately became very nervous. He knew that he must quickly find a way to disturb the appointment, otherwise Shuvalov’s actions in Kiev It would be bad.

Seeing that Nicholas I was very satisfied with Count Rostovtsev’s self-consciousness, he was about to accept his self-recommendation, and Count Uvarov bit his head and interrupted:

“Your Majesty, I personally think that it is not appropriate to let the Lord count to investigate this case… Although the Lord’s ability is beyond doubt, he has no experience in this area after all. I think it is more appropriate to send a more experienced person to… …”

When Count Uvarov said this, Nicholas I just looked at him coldly, with no expression on his face. But it is precisely that having no expression is more terrifying than having an expression.

That is to say, Count Uvarov has a close relationship with Nicholas I, so he dared to finish these words. I am afraid that someone else will have to stammer in the middle, and he can’t say it at all.

However, Uvarov was nervous enough because he was vaguely aware of the anger of Nicholas I.

When was the last time Nicholas I became angry with Uvarov? If there is a historical record, it might still be the case of the Greek War of Independence. At that time, because of the forced promotion of pan-Slavism, Uvarov fought fiercely with the Balkan brothers and used his national mouthpiece to cheer them up.

In the end, Russia, which paid a lot after the success of Greece’s independence, was not the biggest beneficiary. Greece actually fell into the arms of the United Kingdom, which made Nicholas I very angry. He was very angry with Count Uvarov and Prime Minister Neschel Rodie. A horrible meal.

That was the first time Uvarov was taught, and it almost became the last time he was taught. After that, Uvarov acted more cautiously and attentively, and never made similar mistakes again.

And this time he felt the same as last time, and it is very likely that he will be scolded **** in the next second.

But at this point Uvarov has no other choice. Can he take back what he says? What’s more, he really can’t allow Count Rostovtsev to ruin his good deeds, and he has to do it!

Just when Count Uvarov was thinking about being scolded, how could he try to persuade Nicholas I and try to change his mind, Nicholas I finally spoke, but it was not an expected harsh criticism or Swearing, on the contrary, this majesty looked very calm, even a little too calm.

“I think the earl is the most suitable candidate. This mission is none other than him!”

The beginning of this made Uvarov’s heart sink to the bottom, because Nicholas I was almost announcing: I don’t accept other opinions, I just want Count Rostovtsev to investigate this case. Anyone who opposes it. Useless!

Then came the second sentence: “Count Rostovtsev, as an imperial envoy, was solely responsible for investigating the case. During this period, the Ukrainian gendarmerie, police and the third unit were all controlled by him.”

This is the delineation of the powers of Count Rostovtsev, and this cools Uvarov’s heart to a half, because the third unit and other police gendarmes are under the control of Count Rostovtsev. This means Because he is in control of everything.

Don’t worry, it’s not over yet, the third sentence of Nicholas I will soon come: “All local officials of Ukraine, including Governor Peter Balek, must obey the imperial envoy’s order and cooperate with him in investigating the case. Anyone who dares to violate the power or the imperial order, Count Rostovtsev can suspend his duties with the approval of his two deputies, Grand Duke Mikhail and Grand Duke Nicholas!”

This power is even greater. Although there are two grand princes who exercise restraint~www.wuxiax.com~ but this is also the power of the heavens. It can even be said that if Peter Bareck or other people do not cooperate obediently, then Ross Count Toftsev can keep him cool.

This simply made Count Uvarov intolerable, because it was tantamount to depriving Peter Balek or Shuvalov of the possibility of intervening in the case, which was really unfavorable to him.

However, the worst is yet to come! Because Nicholas I hadn’t finished speaking, he told his two sons: “As the earl’s deputies, you must fully respect the earl’s authority and cooperate with the earl in your work. Listen more, watch more and interfere less! ”

Well, this is tantamount to turning around and shackling the only two princes who can control Count Rostovtsev, so that Count Uvarov, who was just about to contact Prince Alexander and tried to do the work of the two princes, was dumbfounded. .

If there was no such order from Nicholas I, then Grand Duke Mikhail and Grand Duke Nicholas might have dared to sell him and Prince Alexander a bit of face, and put a little restraint on the Count of Rostovtsev.

But with this order, no matter how much Prince Alexander and he lobby, these two probably will have to weigh a little bit, and what will happen if Nicholas I refuses to listen to him, these princes know the best… …
