Count Uvarov became cold, and Duke Ordorf next to him could clearly see that after Nicholas I said these words, the count's face was uglier than an eggplant.
This made Duke Ordorf feel a little happy secretly. He had disliked Count Uvarov for a long time. Obviously this guy is just the Minister of National Education. Logically speaking, you should just do your job of teaching and educating people honestly.
But Count Uvarov is not the same. Under the guise of education, this guy often talks about benevolence, justice and morality. He will intervene in anything that is not in line with his interests or ideas.
If it's an ordinary thing, that's it. Sometimes it's a good thing that is obviously profitable, such as something like the cable telegraph last time, but he would jump in and interfere. In recent years, he has blocked many people's financial paths.
Duke Ordorf felt that he had gone too far, and the worst thing was not that. The worst thing was that he had clearly told him secretly what was going on, and asked him to show his face and stop being a troublemaker.
, but he still relied on his old age to act like one, relying on Nicholas I's favor and not giving in at all.
This is very disgusting. In the past, Duke Ordorff was worried about his huge strength and had a large number of fans to help wave the flag and cheer. He did not dare to really offend him, so he could only try every means to prevent him from doing bad things.
And today, he finally saw this guy deflated, what a relief!
Of course, Duke Ordov knew very well that the reason why he strongly opposed Count Rostovtsev being an imperial envoy was probably because Kiev had not wiped his ass clean, for fear of being caught or exposed.
This also indirectly showed that there must be a problem in Kiev, and the case was definitely not that simple. He considered whether he should also get involved and give this pretentious bastard a dose of bad medicine.
"It's a bit risky!"
After hearing Duke Ordov's thoughts, Duke Mikhail's expression was still quite serious. Although he was also bitter about Uvarov, was this really a good opportunity?
"That guy has hit a wall with His Majesty. With his personality, he will never give up. And as you said, if there is a big problem in Kiev, he will not be able to sit still and wait for death, so he will immediately try to eliminate the hidden danger.
I’m afraid his methods are not easy to mess with!”
Duke Ordov was a little reluctant to hear this. Indeed, as Duke Mikhail said, Uvarov was very difficult to deal with. However, this opportunity did not come around all the time. This time he offended Nikol.
It is unlikely that Nicholas I will get the support of Nicholas I as he did in the past. This is tantamount to abolishing his biggest protective umbrella. If you dare not teach him a lesson at this time, then you should take a detour when you see him in the future!
"I didn't say this wasn't an opportunity!"
Seeing that Duke Ordorf was unhappy, Duke Mikhail quickly comforted him: "What I mean is that we must be cautious and not reckless. At least we cannot rush to the front to confront him head-on. It is best to let Rostow
Count Vtsev takes the chestnuts from the fire, and then we take advantage of them!"
Upon hearing this, Duke Ordov felt that this was not bad. After all, he did not intend to get on his horse and touch Uvarov's tiger butt himself. He also meant to cooperate with Count Rostovtsev in carrying out the operation and attack Uvarov side by side.
Varov just needs to put on eye drops.
Duke Ordorf thought for a while and suddenly said: "Mikhail, this matter is closely related to Grand Duke Constantine. What should our attitude be?"
This was said a bit vaguely, but Duke Mikhail understood it. He was simply asking if he wanted to contact Grand Duke Constantine or join forces. After all, this time, theoretically, the person who really confronted Uvarov was actually
If this Grand Duke can cooperate with him to form an offensive and defensive alliance, there is a possibility that Uvarov will be defeated.
To be honest, Prince Mikhail was also very excited about this possibility. Uvarov was really annoying, so it would be great if he could get rid of him. But he thought for a moment and then
He shook his head and said:
"It's not appropriate. Your Majesty and the Crown Prince are watching over there. There's no good in getting too close to Grand Duke Constantine!"
Duke Mikhail's mind is still clear. Although they have been angry with Uvarov for a long time, after all, the grudge between them and Uvarov has not risen to the level of life and death. Let them risk everything to fight Uvarov.
Taiwan, they won’t do it.
Especially this time, the matter involves Grand Duke Constantine. The attitude of the two brothers towards the Grand Duke, Prince Michael, is that they will not be close to him and will not offend him. They will never hook up without a necessary relationship.
Because their brothers know very well that this country will eventually be handed over to Crown Prince Alexander, who is the future master of Russia. Being too close to Grand Duke Constantine is tantamount to cutting yourself off from the crown prince. They can still distinguish the importance of this.
of.
And this time, anyone with a little brain would know that Crown Prince Alexander is probably on the side of Count Uvarov. Anyway, for him these days, as long as he is going against Grand Duke Constantine, he will support it. Otherwise, he will support it.
be opposed to.
If Uvarov is given eye drops in front of Crown Prince Alexander at this time, it will easily cause the Crown Prince to misunderstand, so it is better to avoid it.
Duke Ordorf actually knew this truth, but he felt that this opportunity was too rare. If he didn't do it to Uvarov, his heart would feel itchy all of a sudden. He had been holding in his anger for too long and wanted to vent his anger.
But Duke Mikhail's decisive attitude immediately made him sober up. How stupid it must be to offend Crown Prince Alexander for a little dispute of temper!
He was not a fool, and naturally he would not be such a fool, so he just laughed and said haha and then asked again: "Do you want to contact Wallachia?
He doesn’t have much of a presence in Ukraine, and the one in Wallachia has a good relationship with the Black Sea Fleet, which saves us a lot of trouble..."
Duke Mikhail was silent again. He was quite hesitant about contacting Li Xiao and Alexei because the relationship between the two parties had shown signs of weakening recently, but this time they were not particularly effective in Ukraine.
relationship, and even if there is one, I don’t dare to use it openly. After all, I have to avoid the eyes and ears of Crown Prince Alexander!
This also determines that the power they have on hand is a bit insufficient, at least not enough to deal with predators like Uvarov. Even if Grand Duke Konstantin and Count Rostovtsev rush in front, they will inevitably feel a little uneasy.
end.
After pondering for a long time, Duke Mikhail said: "Let me talk to them. After all, Uvarov has a bad impression of them. Dealing with that old guy is also beneficial to them. They should agree..."
