Nikolai Muravyov sometimes really couldn't understand the thoughts of Nicholas I. In his eyes, the tsar was always a bit neurotic and always made some inexplicable airplanes. But Nikolai Muravyov couldn't understand the thoughts of Nicholas I.
Raviyov only dared to vomit in his heart, and he would never dare to say it in public, because he knew that Nicholas I had very developed ears and eyes, and he used all possible means to monitor his courtiers.
When he was still the governor of the Far East, many of his servants and subordinates were spies for the tsar, so he had to be extra careful every step he took.
Thinking of this, Nikolai Muravyov glanced at the deputy next to him, Colonel Ilya Grigorievich Bobulinsky, and he knew that this young man was probably sent by the Tsar to monitor him.
his.
Ilya Grigorievich Bobulinsky naturally knew that his superior was peeking at him, but he was not particularly surprised. With his blond hair and handsome face, he always looked at him wherever he went.
He was the focus of the crowd, not only the nobles and ladies coveted his body, but also some greasy uncles who coveted him.
To be honest, he is used to being looked at and pointed at. Although this bothers him, he has gradually adapted to it, or he is no longer surprised.
However, Bobulinski still knew the real reason for Nikolai Muravyov's attention. This major general governor was actually not popular in St. Petersburg, so making him the governor of the Far East was actually a kind of
It's just exile in disguise.
It's just that probably Nicholas I and those conservatives who disliked him didn't expect that he would do such a great job. He quietly dug up a large piece of land from the east, and his achievements were great and he was very capable.
However, the more things went like this, the more Nicholas I and the conservatives became more and more wary of him. In order to prevent him from losing power in the Far East, they specially recalled him and set him up in an idle place.
Bobulinski actually felt sorry for Muravyov. If it wasn't a matter of political stance, it would be easy to get a knighthood and the title of minister of state based on his merits. But just because he suggested reforming the serfdom system
, which made Uvarov and others jealous, so they could only sit on the bench.
Sometimes Bobulinski feels that the world is really bad. A bunch of pigheads are in power and they can do whatever they want, but there are all kinds of restrictions on people who are truly capable and they don't even give them a chance to express themselves.
Thinking of this, Bobulinski sighed secretly, feeling that he has become more and more sentimental recently. Does he need to worry about such nonsense? He is just a small colonel, and he is like a grain of rice in St. Petersburg.
, if it weren’t for his grandfather’s profound background, his appearance would have long ago become the pet and plaything of aristocratic ladies or perverted aristocratic gentlemen. Instead of worrying about the life and death of others, it’s better to think about how to live a more comfortable life yourself!
Bobulinsky's grandfather was the famous illegitimate son Alexei Grigorievich Bobulinsky. This brother was Catherine the Great and Grigory.
The illegitimate son of Grigorievich Orlov. As the illegitimate son of the first-generation empress, Grigory Grigorievich Orlov naturally received a lot of care, and Orlov
My husband's family is considered a powerful family in Russia. Even the illegitimate children can talk to the family, so naturally they can't live in such a miserable state.
Of course, in the era of Paul I, neither the Bobulinski nor the Orlov families could have had any good fruits, so they naturally suffered some hardships. Fortunately, this dark time ended soon, and with Alexander
After the Second Emperor ascended the throne, both the Bobulinski family and the Orlov family slowly recovered.
Moreover, as staunch conservatives, the two of them were naturally valued by Nicholas I. For example, when they arrived at Ilya Grigorievich Bobulinsky, they got together in the third part.
Although the errand official is not particularly big, his position is important!
Speaking of which, Ilya Grigorievich Bobulinsky is a bit like his great-grandfather, the famous playboy Grigory Grigorievich Orlov.
They all look like a jade tree, graceful and graceful, but compared to that ancestor, Ilya Bobulinsky is not so keen on men and women, and he is not interested in having fun with his beauty.
On the contrary, Ilya is more like an honest child. He studies very hard and has a reserved personality. He never expresses joy and anger easily, and he hates drinking. To be honest, he is a bit like a rigid Puritan.
Of course, he is definitely not a Puritan, and he is not really neither happy nor sad, but he is very good at hiding his emotions. The reason is also very simple. When you can make the person opposite you have evil thoughts by smiling casually, how dare you casually
Laughing?
Ilya Bobulinsky is lonely most of the time. He has few friends, because most of the people who want to be friends with him covet his beauty, and because he is too handsome, it is easy to cover up the light of his companions.
Who would want to be someone else's green leaf? Naturally, he would have few friends.
These characteristics made him very troubled and painful, but it is undeniable that these characteristics made him feel like a fish in water in the third part, and he was proud to be a colonel in his twenties. After all, Nicholas I disliked him the most.
The most common thing is for ministers to form cliques, especially those who don’t like their own eyes and ears.
In the eyes of Nicholas I, a loner like Ilya was the safest person. He had no friends, never talked too much, and would not reveal any number of secrets. Of course, such a person should be reused!
It's just that Ilya didn't have a high opinion of Nicholas I. This can be seen from his grievance for Muraviev just now. In fact, he is not a lonely person nor conservative. On the contrary
His mind is very active and he is very interested in natural science.
And a person who is good at accepting new things and new theories cannot be a conservative. It can only be said that Nicholas I made a mistake this time, otherwise he would not have sent him to monitor Muravyov.
For Ilya, it is also a good thing to be able to go out and leave the suffocating nest of St. Petersburg. He has long been fed up with the oppression of St. Petersburg and the harassment of those noble ladies. If possible, he would rather go to other provinces or even
If he goes to work in the Far East, he will at least have a lot of freedom.
However, this is impossible. Neither his father nor the Orlov family will allow him to leave St. Petersburg. On the contrary, they are still trying to find ways to stuff him into the palace, preparing to find him a job as a military attache or a military attaché.
The unlucky job of the Crown Prince's military attache...
