Count Uvarov felt more and more that young people like Baryatinsky did not know how to respect the old and love the young. Thinking back to when he was young...well, at that time he also had no respect for the old men in high positions.
I don't like it very much. I feel that those old guys are just standing there doing nothing, allowing heretics like Speransky to seize high positions and ruin the country.
Anyway, Uvarov was very dissatisfied with those old guys back then, and later he climbed to the top by stepping on these old guys to achieve his current status.
"Gossip? Who are these people talking nonsense about?"
These words were said in a leisurely manner, which really reflected Count Uvarov's aura. Anyway, Baryatinsky suddenly felt his back tightening, and the heavy pressure almost bent his waist.
It's just that he is Baryatinsky after all. If he couldn't handle this pressure, he wouldn't be where he is today.
He raised his shoulders slightly and then replied calmly: "The ball and salon have been spread, and everyone is talking about it. At this time, we urgently need you to stand up and clarify the facts! Count."
Uvarov narrowed his eyes. Although he had long known that Baryatinsky was a person, he was still a little surprised by the speed of this kid's growth. He could not return to normal so quickly before, let alone
Despite the pressure from him, you talked about these useless nonsense. Now this kid is really a character!
But Count Uvarov's current status was not for nothing. He sneered and said: "Really? Then help me call these people who like to talk the most, and I will talk to them personally.
how!"
Baryatinsky's scalp suddenly became numb. He knew that Count Uvarov had seen through his tactics and knew that the so-called rumors were inseparable from him. Otherwise, there would be no need for him to hand over the list to speak out.
But he can't hand over this list, otherwise in the future, if anyone in his department really believes in him, the eldest brother must act like an eldest brother, and he can't just pass the blame to the younger brother when something goes wrong!
So he bit the bullet and replied: "Earl, I think these people are too worried to be like this. They are not deliberately talking nonsense. They should still be given a chance. How about I go talk to them and let them wait for you with peace of mind?"
How about instructions?”
An unknown light flashed across Uvarov's eyes. Apparently Baryatinsky's answer surprised him. He chuckled and said, "Really? It's rare that you would help them excuse themselves."
!”
This meant that there was something in his words. Baryatinsky's scalp exploded again, and he quickly lowered his head and replied: "I think they are just following others' opinions or are too worried. You can't teach them a lesson for such a trivial matter. You should still
Give them a chance..."
Count Uvarov laughed contemptuously and said meaningfully: "Give me a chance?"
Baryatinsky lowered his head and said, "Yes, we should still give him a chance."
Count Uvarov laughed again: "Since you, Duke, have worked so hard to plead for them, it would be a bit too much for me to be unkind. Well, for your sake, I will give them a chance!"
After hearing this, Baryatinsky breathed a sigh of relief, but Uvarov immediately said: "It's just that you can be tolerant when you should be tolerant, but you must also give lessons, and clear rewards and punishments can lead to success."
Good soldier, don’t you think so?”
Baryatinsky suddenly felt the pressure again and could only answer: "What punishment do you think is more appropriate?"
Count Uvarov smiled again and pointedly said: "Are you asking me? Duke, they are your soldiers, you don't even have this sense of propriety, do you?"
After a short pause, before Baryatinsky could say anything, Uvarov replied decisively: "In short, just satisfy me! I just want results! If you can't even handle this little thing, then you can
I’m so disappointed!”
Baryatinsky's face suddenly darkened a little. He knew that his little plan had been completely seen through by Uvarov. This old guy was very careful about his timing, not only giving him a lesson, but not letting him down.
It's so uncomfortable to feel like having a reflex reaction.
But no matter how uncomfortable it was, Baryatinsky could only endure it, because through this test, he found that he was not qualified to challenge Uvarov. This old guy's wrist was still very tough, so he could only continue.
Keep a low profile and bide your time.
"Your will is my mission!"
Baryatinsky lowered his head again, looking so honest and calm, even a little pitiful, but Uvarov was not fooled by this illusion. He knew that what was in front of him was a vicious wolf, at least for the time being.
A vicious dog. Although he can still suppress him with the power he accumulated in the past, it will be hard to say in the future.
At the moment, he couldn't push too hard, and he also needed help from people like Baryatinsky. So he stopped when he was ready, and after serving the purpose of teaching and beating him, he said: "Peter Andrei
Yevich Shuvalov wrote a report on the whole story of the Black Sea Fleet's failure. You should also read it and see where we went wrong."
As he spoke, Uvarov handed over the letter casually. Baryatinsky immediately became energetic when he heard this. He was actually quite interested in this defeat, especially Count Uvarov.
All arrangements were made, but things still got out of hand. He was also very curious about how the enemy did all this.
But after reading the detailed report letter, Baryatinsky was also confused. Because it seemed that Shuvalov had reported everything. But in fact, after careful consideration, what did he feel?
Can't even catch it.
In fact, this is also the shortcoming of the running account. It seems to have everything in detail, but there is no focus, making it difficult for people to get any key impressions.
But Baryatinsky was not an ordinary person. After thinking carefully for a while, he said: "I think the key to the problem is how Grand Duke Konstantin and his group got the news in advance. This is really unusual!"
Uvarov just raised his eyelids and glanced at him, because he already knew that with Baryatinsky's level, he would be able to find the key points quickly, but that was not what he wanted to know, so he just answered coldly.
:
"This is also something I find suspicious, so I asked a lot of people to help me find out. However, this group of rubbish is really disappointing. I spent a whole day and couldn't find the key! What do you think?"
In fact, Uvarov didn't think Baryatinsky knew the answer, but this time the latter really surprised him...
