Four hundred and twentieth eight chapters fight back
After thinking for a moment, Baryatinsky nodded slightly and warned: "It's okay to test it out. It happens that the crown prince also has this wish, but be careful not to be deceived by them!"
Pobedonostsev is also good at this aspect. After all, he is neither good at government affairs nor military affairs. He is only good at manipulating ideology. In a sense, he is very similar to Count Uvarov, but in all aspects
The abilities and means are just a bit different.
This episode ended quickly, because even if it is tested, it cannot be completed immediately. It requires time to prepare the layout and set up. Baryatinsky and Pobedonostsev danced a few dances at the ball and
After joking with some ladies and ladies, he drifted away.
After all, they have more important things to talk about!
"Your Highness, you want us to give Count Uvarov some color?" Pobedonostsev was shocked by the news!
Because he had seen Count Uvarov leave with great satisfaction before, he thought he had a pleasant conversation with Crown Prince Alexander and had reached an agreement!
how?
Baryatinsky actually didn't understand why, because the chamberlain only told him a few words, and it was not easy for him to go to the Crown Prince Alexander to ask the truth.
He could only make a guess based on the few words of the chamberlain: "It seems that His Highness is very dissatisfied with Count Uvarov's domineering attitude and feels that he is a bit relying on his old age. You know..."
Of course Pobedonostsev knew that if he were Crown Prince Alexander, he would also be dissatisfied with an old powerful official like Count Uvarov. First, he has great achievements and second, he is too senior and has no title. Any emperor would
There is no good way to deal with such a minister, especially when such a minister is very smart and makes it easy for you to catch something, it is even more annoying!
Such ministers are simply old thieves to the emperor. If such old thieves are not dealt with, the emperor himself may not be able to sleep well!
Pobedonostsev has followed Crown Prince Alexander for so many years and knows that although the Crown Prince is a bit cowardly, his IQ is not a problem, so he naturally knows what a veteran like Count Uvarov means.
Especially in the past two years, as the crown prince's momentum and majesty have become more and more powerful, he is probably becoming more and more dissatisfied with these old guys standing next to him and bossing around.
And this time is indeed a good opportunity to teach Count Uvarov a lesson. Who knows that the nature of things in Kiev this time is too bad? Anyone who knows the truth will inevitably do something to Count Uvarov for instructing Count Shuvalov.
What came out was shocking.
After all, we are all nobles. Although we belong to different positions, we still have to talk about the most basic dignity and principles, right? But what you Shuvalov did this time completely exceeded the minimum limit of the rules. It was almost
Framing and using every possible means, and even if you are ruthless to the enemy, you have also ignored your own people and your immediate superiors, completely treating them as nothing, which is intolerable.
The more conservative aristocrats are, the more they value the hierarchy of superiors and inferiors, because this is their most powerful weapon to safeguard their own interests. If they don't even care about superiors and inferiors, how can they maintain the group? Is it nonsense?
After all, Count Shuvalov did go too far this time and stepped on the red line. For the vast majority of conservative members, if everyone did this, wouldn't it mean that the world would be in chaos?
Today, Shuvalov, relying on the support of Count Uvarov, can defeat the superior and kill Peter Balak. Will you also do it to me tomorrow?
In this regard, Count Shuvalov was guilty of public outrage. If Count Uvarov had not been helping him to excuse himself, he might not even be able to pass the test of his own people.
And Count Uvarov also caused criticism within the group because he was a little "too protective" of Count Shuvalov. Thanks to his years of accumulated power to suppress it, otherwise there would be a real uproar!
But even so, this is also a good opportunity for Baryatinsky and others. During the previous meeting, he tried to attack this issue, but on the one hand, Count Uvarov was able to fool him with his powerful methods, and on the other hand, Barya
Jinsky was also worried about not letting go and taking action. After all, he was not stupid enough to know that there was more or less the shadow of Crown Prince Alexander in the Kiev incident. Full firepower might accidentally injure the Crown Prince, and that would be troublesome at that time.
But now Crown Prince Alexander has personally dispelled his concerns, and even made it clear that he can mess with Count Uvarov. It is best to give Count Uvarov a hard face so that he cannot step down.
This is extremely comfortable for Crown Prince Alexander. It's like using the gold medal to avoid death and do whatever you want. So what's there to worry about? It's his fault!
However, Baryatinsky was not particularly good at making trouble and shady people. He immediately asked Pobedonostsev for advice: "Constantine, do you have any good ideas?"
The interests of Pobedonostsev and Baryatinsky were so closely aligned that they barely wore a pair of underpants. Naturally, he would comply with the eldest brother's request.
"Of course there is a way. Do you still remember what His Highness told us before, that the case report was not conveyed to Count Uvarov?"
Baryatinsky was stunned and hesitated: "You mean to tell this news? Isn't it a little late?"
Pobedonostsev naturally knew why Baryatinsky said it was a bit late. If this news was leaked before Count Uvarov held an internal meeting of the group, it would indeed be particularly lethal. At that time, Uvarov was at the meeting.
Count Rolf will probably have more trouble trying to pass the test, and may even lose face.
But now that the limelight has passed, Count Uvarov, although a little embarrassed, has managed to deal with the crisis. Spreading the news at this time is a bit unreasonable.
But Pobedonostsev smiled gracefully and said: "It's a little late, but it can't be said to be completely useless. If Count Uvarov hadn't asked the Adlerbergs to invite His Highness to the ball, then we would still have
There’s really no way to make a fuss about it!”
As he spoke, he chuckled sinisterly a few times, and then said: "But he wants to find out His Majesty's attitude from His Highness, and this can make a fuss... We just need to spread the previous news to the outside world, and then deliberately mix it with the dance.
How do you think people outside will view it when we connect it with other things?"
Baryatinsky's eyes suddenly brightened after thinking about it. What could people outside think? They would only think that Count Uvarov had fallen out of favor in front of Nicholas I. He deliberately did not even convey the key facts of the case to him.
He was forced to ask the Adlerbergs to ask Crown Prince Alexander to help investigate the case and test Nicholas I's attitude...
