Was Berhe unjust? It was quite unfair to say that Nicholas I would not let go of any trivial matter without limit. But if you want to say that he was not unjust at all, that is not necessarily the case. There were some things that he really had nothing to do.
Okay, if his butt is clean, can he be grabbed and it hurts his feet?
So even if Uvarov spoke for him this time, it would be useless. Unless Christ Jesus came to him in a dream to intercede for him this time, there would be no chance of him getting through safely.
Even this time, he will also implicate Uvarov. Nicholas I's mind is very small, and Uvarov has no worries about the emperor at all. This is obviously a very serious problem. Do you think that Nicholas I
The dog's temperament can be good to Uvarov.
"Count, as an important minister of the country, how could you make such a low-level mistake on such a big issue? Berge's problem is extremely serious and must be dealt with seriously. We must send a better naval general to replace him as soon as possible.
Duty? Only in this way can we ensure that the morale of the Black Sea Fleet is not affected!"
Uvarov was speechless at all, because at this time he finally realized where he had made a mistake. Unfortunately, it was too late. If he had woken up earlier, he might have been able to pull Belkh to him.
Keep it, but now that Nicholas I has spoken out his murderous words, there is no way for things to be tactful.
Even because of his mistake just now, he fell behind when it came to recommending successors. Obviously Nicholas I thought that there was something wrong with his butt and did not pay so much attention to the candidates he recommended.
Uvarov gave Count Rostovtsev a merciless look, because his performance just now can be said to be flawless and fully in line with Nicholas I's wishes. He should have the upper hand in the next recommendation!
Uvarov, who was originally a little afraid of Count Rostovtsev, naturally hated him even more, but he was too anxious and had no good solution. Why did he perform so poorly just now!
Sure enough, Nicholas I directly asked Count Rostovtsev: "Tell me your suggestions. Who do you think is more appropriate to send to replace Belkh now?"
For a moment, Uvarov's heart was in his throat, fearing that Count Rostovtsev would recommend someone who would make him extremely uncomfortable. But interestingly, Count Rostovtsev was very calm and even a little bit uncomfortable.
He replied with some embarrassment:
"Your Majesty, how can there be a particularly suitable candidate in this rush? Although Belcher has problems of one kind or another, he is also a veteran of the navy and has done things well in the past. How difficult it is to find a candidate to replace him!"
Uvarov's heart returned to his stomach, and he was even secretly proud: [Humph! Do you know how difficult it is? The candidate I recommended at the beginning was so easy to replace, no wonder you have only been able to be a
As a consultant, the problem lies in my poor ability to seize opportunities. If it were me, could I miss such an opportunity?】
Over the years, Uvarov has always felt that his status is higher than that of Rostovtsev and that he can firmly suppress his opponent. He believes that the reason why Rostovtsev has always been only a senior adviser to Nicholas I and cannot go out
The problem with becoming a general is that he has a poor ability to seize opportunities. What a great opportunity just now! In other words, he could propose a dozen candidates for the commander of the Black Sea Fleet who look more suitable than Belkh in a minute.
But Rostovtsev could not mention any of them, which fully proves that the other party is just a silver pewter spearhead!
Uvarov, on the other hand, would definitely not miss this opportunity. He immediately interjected: "Your Majesty, I have a few more suitable candidates here. I believe that I can entrust him with important tasks to replace Belkh!"
According to Uvarov's expectation, Nicholas I will definitely turn to him and ask for his recommendation, and as long as he submits the list, there will be nothing wrong with Count Rostovtsev!
And the next process was indeed similar to what he expected. Nicholas I turned to look at him and asked in a nonchalant manner: "Oh? Really? You have many more suitable candidates, then.
Let’s hear it!”
These words made people's hair stand on end, because the tone was really strange. Although Uvarov couldn't tell what was wrong, he subconsciously knew that something was wrong after serving Nicholas I for many years.
But in his eagerness, he really couldn't figure out what was wrong. He could only think about it and quickly replied: "Ivan Vasilyevich Shuvanov, Mikhail Fedorovich Gu.
Dovich and Grigory Alexanderovich Repnin are both suitable candidates, and I believe they will not let you down!"
No one knows whether Nicholas I will be disappointed, but it is certain that Nicholas I was not particularly happy, because after hearing Uvarov's words, his face turned dark, as if a storm was brewing.
of.
"Well, I understand."
It's just that the storm didn't come down immediately. Nicholas I just sighed and stopped talking. This made Uvarov, the second monk, confused. He didn't understand what Nicholas I was.
What it means - Are you hesitant to say whether any of these people satisfy you? What does it mean to just say that you know?
It can only be said that Uvarov is really old. If he doesn't express his position immediately, he is actually implicitly saying that he is not satisfied with these people. Otherwise, he will just say that so and so is good and issue an appointment letter and it will be over.
To put it bluntly, this was because Nicholas I was dissatisfied with the candidate recommended by Uvarov, but he could not slap him in the face of an old minister in person, so he could only express his attitude in this relatively subtle way.
Anyway, Count Rostovtsev understood clearly, and he knew the result would be like this. As expected, neither Nicholas I nor Uvarov let him down.
Count Rostovtsev just said that he can't find a suitable candidate for the time being. Does that mean he really doesn't have one? It's definitely not the case, but he knows there is a big hole here. If he stupidly recommends a candidate directly, the result will definitely be the same.
There was no difference between Uvarov and Nicholas I. Nicholas I would definitely be unhappy and reject the candidate he recommended. At that time, it would be useless no matter how suitable the person he recommended was.
Why?
Don’t forget Nicholas I’s damn face-saving personality! This is crucial!
Although Nicholas I has decided to replace Belkh, if you tell him directly that so-and-so is much better than Belkh and more suitable to be the commander of the Black Sea Fleet, then it is a bad idea and he will be very unhappy!
Because he was confused, he would think like this: "Oh, you think these people are better than Belkh? Then when we discussed who should replace Lazarev, why didn't you recommend these people? Now you say they are better than Belkh
He Qiang, this is obviously an afterthought! What's more, I was very fond of Belcher back then, do you mean to say that I don't know people well?"
