Grand Duke Mikhail is in a very good mood. These days, he has experienced the pleasure of being in power. It feels wonderful to see a large group of people obeying him.
Anyway, Grand Duke Mikhail fell in love with this feeling, which made him not want to go back to St. Petersburg.
It's just that Grand Duke Mikhail feels good, but in Viscount Prozolov's opinion, this guy is basically being fooled. Look at it, he is doing useless work every day, except for being flattered.
Besides being cool, does it have any practical effect?
But this is the best for Viscount Prozolov. He is really worried that something bad will happen to these two handsome brothers! This is the best state. It is good to see them wasting time day by day without doing anything practical!
For Viscount Prozolov, instead of caring about these useless brothers, it is better to pay more attention to the movements of Count Rostovtsev. After all, the only predator in Ukraine now is the imperial envoy, and his choice will
Decide where things here will ultimately go.
Sometimes Viscount Prozolov would assume the role of Count Rostovtsev to see what he would do if he were in the count's position. But as time went by, none of his guesses came true.
, which made him a little confused about this count.
So what is Count Rostovtsev doing? To put it simply, Count Rostovtsev is waiting for the time to come. In fact, for him, all aspects of the situation in Kiev are clear. Shuvalov and Konstantin
The Grand Duke is basically clear at all the cards he can play.
In this position, what he has to do is actually create a suitable opportunity for these two companies to play cards, and induce them to play all their cards step by step. When these two companies have played their cards, he will step in to clean up the situation.
The time when everything is harvested to its final fruit.
In a sense, Count Rostovtsev is like a fruit farmer waiting for the fruits to ripen. When the fruits are ripe, he just takes them out and sells them for money.
Of course, he was basically satisfied with the performance of these two companies, especially Grand Duke Constantine. Before, he was worried that the Grand Duke's performance was too high and could not keep up with Count Shuvalov's pace.
, he needs to pay extra attention to this person and help him play cards step by step.
In the past few days, Grand Duke Constantine's actual performance has completely exceeded his expectations, whether it was tearing Count Shuvalov apart in the afterlife at the beginning, or later secretly playing Merkulova's card against Peter Balek.
, are all pretty.
In Count Rostovtsev's view, as long as the opponent plays these two cards, the final outcome will not be too bad. Even if nothing is gained in the end, Uvarov will be defeated.
Of course, for Count Rostovtsev, the rhythm of Grand Duke Constantine's cards was still a bit unsatisfactory and seemed a little hasty. It would be better if he could be more calm.
"Grand Duke Constantine does not have this ability. I think this count should have a good adviser."
Count Rostovtsev's judgment puzzled Sergey. He didn't understand how his boss came to this conclusion. Because among him or in the aristocratic circle of St. Petersburg, Grand Duke Constantine's reputation was relatively good.
, he is generally considered to be shrewd, capable and very capable.
For Sergey, isn't it normal for a prince who is shrewd, capable, and capable to perform as he is now? But from what Count Rostovtsev said, it seems that the Grand Duke is not very good, and he would not be able to deal with the situation without a counselor.
Situation. Is this possible?
"Do you think that the Grand Duke is very smart and capable, a genius in literature, military and military affairs?"
Sergei looked at Count Rostovtsev. Based on his understanding of the count, he knew exactly what these words meant. But he still couldn't accept it. Isn't Grand Duke Constantine powerful?
"Sergey," Count Rostovtsev suddenly said a little more earnestly, "In the political arena, seeing people is a very important ability. You must be able to clearly distinguish the essence of a person, such as him
What is your ability and what is your character... And now I can see from your expression that your level of this ability is not high!"
Sergey was a little unconvinced, but he didn't say anything because it was the first time that Count Rostovtsev directly told him that he was not good at a certain aspect. This was something unprecedented, so he was a little confused and guessed that Rostov
What exactly did Count Vtsev mean when he said this?
Count Rostovtsev continued: "You are very smart! You are good at observing and thinking, which is great. But your observation and thinking may not necessarily lead to the correct conclusion, and that is the problem."
"Of course, this is due to your lack of experience. But I still have to say that the biggest problem is that you are too easily interfered by external factors. These external forces always make you make wrong judgments!"
Sergey swallowed, and the uneasiness in his heart became more and more obvious, because Count Rostovtsev behaved so strangely today. He always felt that the count wanted to teach him the last lesson and then follow him.
It's like saying goodbye.
This made his mind buzzing, and he kept trying to tell himself that he was overthinking, but soon Count Rostovtsev would add new words to aggravate his doubts.
"The circle you are in contact with seems to be the elite circle of the upper class. It seems that they are all the best among people. But I want to tell you, these people are just donkey dung eggs! Most of them are straw bags, so they
Your judgment is worthless!”
"Don't think something is good just because they say it's good, and don't think something is bad just because they say it's bad. And you're just too easily led astray by them!"
Looking at Sergey who was already confused, Count Rostovtsev educated him with some sincerity: "You must learn to see the problem with your own eyes, and then make your own judgment. Don't be interfered by them.
This is very important to you now, because I believe that after following me for so many years, you still have this kind of judgment in your mind!"
After a short pause, Count Rostovtsev simply said: "Now you can probably guess why I am telling you this. Yes, my friend, it is almost time for us to part ways, and you can no longer learn from me by my side.
You have learned more things, and you should also go out alone to gain experience and experience, which is very important. It can even be said that how far you can go in the future depends on whether you can learn something!"
As he spoke, Count Rostovtsev smiled slightly and said: "Now, you'd better think about where you want to go to increase your experience. As your friend and teacher, this will be the only thing I can do for you!"
