Count Uvarov flattered him openly. He hadn't done this for many years. He felt that his skills were a bit rusty. He felt that it was necessary to pick up such skills and use them for thousands of times.
Why don’t you wear farts!
You must have such skills to save your life at critical moments, right?
Even though Nicholas I was not particularly interested in this flattery and just gave a faint hum, Count Uvarov did not care and was not discouraged. He knew that Nicholas I was still angry, and he had just
You just made such a big mistake and you want to make a comeback with just a flattery. Do you really think that Nicholas I is a idiot?
Nicholas I is definitely not a fool. On the contrary, he is the most manipulative emperor in Russian history. Do you really think he can't tell when you do these little tricks in front of him?
But Count Uvarov just wanted Nicholas I to see it. Why? Is it true that he has always been able to wear flattery but never wear it? That’s not true, but flattery itself is an attitude!
Think about what kind of person would flatter someone, not because they want to curry favor and please. In short, this is a trick used by people of low status to people of high status. Have you ever heard of the reverse case?
Obviously there is not, so Count Uvarov lowering his body to flatter Nicholas I is a sign of submission - it is equivalent to admitting his mistake to Nicholas I, saying that I was wrong, I deserve to die, I will be old in the future.
I will do my best to serve you honestly, big brother.
This is the essence of Count Uvarov's flattery. He has a clear plan and moves.
So even if Nicholas I didn't pay much attention to him next, Count Uvarov didn't care at all. He always had a respectful and resigned attitude, not to mention how upright his posture was.
This seemed a little funny to Count Rostovtsev, because he had not seen Count Uvarov be so cautious in twelve years. This was only done when he was first valued by Nicholas I.
expression.
Later, as his status continued to improve, this slave look was no longer seen, and was replaced by a kind of aloof pride or arrogance, as if he was so awesome.
Of course, he is indeed very powerful. He has almost single-handedly suppressed Russia for twenty years, leaving countless talented people who long for change can only sigh and curse him behind their backs. But now, this man has recovered again.
At first glance, it was quite satisfying.
It's just that Count Rostovtsev is not happy, but has a growing sense of urgency. He has been waiting for this opportunity for too long. If he does not seize the opportunity to kill the poisonous snake Count Uvarov, then
I'm afraid there will be no hope in this life.
After thinking for a moment, Count Rostovtsev said to Nicholas I: "Letting His Royal Highness the Crown Prince visit is a sure-fire way to avoid further deterioration of the situation, but you must also prepare in advance, just in case the Prime Minister is true.
If you are sick, then the problem will be serious!"
In fact, this was also the most anxious question for Nicholas I. If Neserrodie was serious, he was really caught off guard and had no time to make any arrangements. Even if there was such a suitable spare tire for him to install,
It is impossible to expect this spare tire to stabilize the situation immediately.
Especially at this juncture, they were still wrangling with Turkey. Although Nicholas I was very dissatisfied with Neserrodie's procrastination, he was not sure that someone else would be better than Neserrodie in charge of diplomatic work.
powerful.
After all, Neserrodie has been very reliable over the years, and he is also a diplomat in his profession. It is not a little difficult, but extremely difficult to find someone stronger than him in Russia! At least that was the case for Nicholas I himself
thought.
What's more, Neserrodie still occupied two positions, as Prime Minister and Foreign Minister. Nicholas I did not dare to expect that this spare tire could be as versatile as him, and he could manage diplomacy well while also keeping the cabinet in order.
.
The thought of finding two spare tires for Nicholas I at the same time makes my brain hurt. It is so difficult to find one, but it will definitely be even more troublesome to find two.
As Nicholas I suddenly changed his mind, Count Uvarov was filled with thoughts. Why?
The reason is very simple. The topic he least wants to bring up now is the new prime minister and the new foreign minister, because whenever this topic is brought up, Nicholas I will inevitably think of what he said before.
Naturally, those resentments will come up again. Why do you think Count Uvarov suddenly flattered you unscrupulously? In fact, it was just to temporarily divert the topic and not give Nicholas I a chance to aggravate his opinion of him.
But Count Rostovtsev was lucky enough to be brought back by Nicholas I with just one voice. Judging from the expression on the Supreme Lord's face, it was obvious that he had a headache.
If you think about his already bad mood, and then think about Count Uvarov's performance just now, wouldn't his mood become even worse? How can this matter be turned over at will?
But Count Uvarov could not change the topic. The first one was too deliberate, and it seemed that he was deliberately avoiding it, which would in turn arouse Nicholas I's suspicion. The other one was also extremely inappropriate and did not see the monarch coming.
Do you have a headache? What do you mean by making jokes instead of talking about serious things? Do you have no idea, so you are preparing to fool things around?
Count Uvarov could only bite the bullet and said: "Relevant plans must be prepared, but there is no need to be too unreasonable. Before His Royal Highness the Crown Prince comes back, any blind guess can only be bad and will not help solve the problem!
The first thing we need to do now is to stay calm and steady our mind, and avoid making mistakes in the rush if we care!"
This is true, but it is not very comforting to Nicholas I, because his current mood is more hoping to come up with a strategy before Crown Prince Alexander comes back, regardless of whether Neserrodie is real or not.
Even if you are sick, you can cope with it effectively.
Instead of talking high-pitched words like Count Uvarov, it seems like old talk but in fact it is of no use in solving actual problems.
So Nicholas I hummed again, ignored him, and asked Count Rostovtsev directly: "What preparations do you think we should make?"
Count Uvarov was so angry with Nicholas I's attitude that he thought it would be brilliant if he didn't say anything, but at least it would attract Nicholas I's attention. But who would have thought that Nicholas I would simply ignore it?
Instead of asking him, Count Yu Rostovtsev, which is no less than a slap in the mouth, can you tell him how he can get better?
