Count Uvarov is a very cautious person. He knows that the most dangerous enemies often come from within the group, because the gang of boys who want to step on him and rise to power will never let go of this opportunity.
He even felt that the external enemies just wanted to oust him, while the little guys inside the group wanted both his position and his life!
To be honest, Count Uvarov has become more wary of internal enemies in the past six months. On the one hand, he feels that his control has declined and he can no longer suppress the juniors inside. On the other hand, the international situation has changed too drastically.
It has put too much pressure on him. If the international pressure continues to increase, then his overall arrangements for more than 20 years will be unable to keep up with the situation.
Failure to keep up with the situation means that adjustments must be made, but only Count Uvarov himself knows how difficult it is for the huge and bloated group he belongs to to self-adjust. The interests in all aspects have long been determined, who has more and who has less.
It doesn't work at all. If you want some people to make sacrifices, it will simply give you a headache.
Count Uvarov was resolutely unwilling to make adjustments unless it was necessary, because every adjustment was a war, and war was bound to involve bloodshed and sacrifices, which he hated.
It's just that he has realized that it is impossible not to make adjustments now, because the situation is already so dangerous. He can still control the development of the situation by actively adjusting, and he has the initiative. If he waits until those juniors force him to make adjustments, then he
I really can't control anything.
Therefore, Count Uvarov decided to first take a look at the attitude of the most dangerous juniors, namely Baryatinsky and his gang, and see what these guys think before making a decision.
"I believe everyone knows the relevant news. The case in Kiev has been closed. Although we got rid of Bestuzhev Ryuming, we also got Peter Balak involved. This result can only be said to be unsatisfactory!"
Count Uvarov's opening remarks made Baryatinsky secretly laugh. What do you mean by unsatisfactory? He felt that Kiev was a complete mess. He exchanged Pyotr Balak for Bestuzhev Liuming, which was a total loss.
Is the business good?
To put it bluntly, this is a disaster and a tragic failure. Let him say that Count Shuvalov, who is responsible for this matter, is to blame and should be severely punished!
So as soon as Uvarov finished speaking, he immediately interjected: "In my opinion, Count Shuvalov's work is questionable. Although he got rid of Bestuzhev Ryuming, he still failed to cooperate with him.
We lost a governor by entering Peter Barak, what are you doing? Playing house?"
Uvarov's eyesight turned cold, he knew that Baryatinsky would jump out to cause trouble, but such an aggressive attack still surprised him. It seems that a lot of things did happen in St. Petersburg during his absence, and he couldn't handle it.
Well, he couldn't bear the rumors anymore.
Faced with Baryatinsky's provocation, Uvarov replied calmly: "Count Shuvalov has always been relatively reliable. The problem should be with Peter Balak. He has always been unreliable!"
This is a bit interesting, because Count Shuvalov is said to belong to the young group of the conservative faction. In fact, he is also an ambitious junior. It is said that he is very similar to Baryatinsky and should be considered a member of the same group.
And Peter Barak can only be considered a fringe element among the conservatives. He became the governor of Ukraine based on his qualifications. In fact, he should be said to rely more on the support of Count Uvarov and should be closer to Count Uvarov.
But in the face of Baryatinsky's provocation, Count Uvarov chose to defend Shuvalov but threw Pyotr Barek into taking the blame. This choice was very strange.
In fact, it is not surprising at all. For Count Uvarov, although Count Shuvalov is a young man, Baryatinsky is not the only member of the young man. Count Shuvalov can barely be counted as one.
I think the best way to check and balance them is to support Count Shuvalov to fight against Baryatinsky.
As for Peter Barak, he is already a dead dog and has no use value at all. Even if he belongs to one of our own, he will only be thrown out and take the blame!
Baryatinsky immediately realized that Uvarov was abandoning his pawn to save his chariot. Naturally, he was not willing to let Count Uvarov get through easily, and immediately interjected: "Peter Balak does have a certain responsibility, but
If I remember correctly, Count, it seems that you have entrusted all the command of the actions related to Kiev to Count Shuvalov, right?"
This is pointing at the monk and scolding the bald man. It is clear that Count Uvarov's conclusion is incorrect.
To put it bluntly, this is a very serious accusation!
Count Uvarov's brows moved, suppressing his displeasure, he still replied calmly: "That's true, but when His Majesty sent Count Rostovtsev as an imperial envoy to the place, Shuvalov
The earl was placed under house arrest immediately, effectively losing his command. Everything that followed was made by Peter Barak, and his performance was obviously unqualified!"
Baryatinsky secretly spat in his heart: "Old fox!"
In his opinion, Count Uvarov was too cunning. Not only did he pass the blame to the dog-like Peter Balak and distance himself from Shuvalov, he even deliberately avoided using the tone when evaluating Peter Balak.
The harsher words are simply watertight!
Why is it said that Count Uvarov is watertight? In fact, Baryatinsky’s real purpose is not to criticize Count Shuvalov, because objectively speaking, although he is responsible, there are indeed force majeure factors behind it. He commanded
In fact, there is not much of a problem. On the contrary, there is a big problem with his early decision-making.
Baryatinsky knew that Count Shuvalov could not be defeated by relying on this information alone, so his real purpose was to use Count Shuvalov as bait. Shooting him was actually a feint, and the real purpose was to use the sword.
Refers to Peter Barak!
Can’t understand again?
In fact, it is very simple to say that Peter Balak is the pawn of the old man Uvarov's faction. His ability to become the governor of Ukraine is entirely due to the support of Count Uvarov. Attacking him can really hurt Uvarov.
If just now Count Uvarov scolded Peter Barak in order to get rid of Count Shuvalov, then Baryatinsky would ask why such an incompetent person was allowed to serve in such an important country in Ukraine.
Governor.
At that time, it was difficult for Count Uvarov to explain clearly, and naturally Baryatinsky's purpose was achieved...
