"Your Majesty, is the progress on the front line not going well?" Count Kleinmicher asked cautiously.
Nicholas I glanced at him and seemed to want to say something, but in the end he held back. He was silent for another two seconds before replying: "The landing operation failed. The main force of the British and French coalition forces has arrived in Turkey!"
Count Kleinmicher was stunned for a moment. He had known this news for a long time. He believed that Nicholas I should have been mentally prepared for this. Because after agreeing to Paskovich's plan, this
The Supreme Lord had talked to him about this topic, and his tone was very low, completely unlike the confident look at the imperial meeting.
At that time, Count Kleinmicher knew that the result of the landing operation would not be particularly ideal, but now Nicholas I is angry because the operation unexpectedly failed. This is obviously unreasonable!
Despite Count Kleinmicher's low political acumen and political sensitivity, and his lack of intention to climb higher, he has been with Nicholas I for so many years and has seen so many ups and downs. To put it bluntly,
When Nicholas I raised his butt, he knew exactly what to do.
Obviously, what really made Nicholas I angry was definitely not the failure of the landing operation or the arrival of the main force of the British and French forces in Turkey. I am afraid there are some unknown Xiao Jiujiu among them.
At this moment, Count Kleinmicher's heart for gossip was burning brightly. After leaving the imperial study and meeting Neridova, he revealed his findings as if he was offering a treasure.
Neridova frowned and asked, "You mean that Paskovich has offended His Majesty?"
Count Kleinmicher was stunned again and asked blankly: "Why do you think so? With that old guy's cleverness and connections, he won't fall out of favor just because of a failed operation, right?"
Neridova shook her head and said rudely: "You are too slow. You said yourself that His Majesty only became angry after seeing the old man's report. And the content of this report did not exceed his expectations.
So what else could make him angry? It must be something Paskovich did!"
Count Kleinmicher snorted and said, "Really? Then I'll see tomorrow. If His Majesty cleans up the old guy at the imperial meeting, it means your guess is correct. Otherwise, there should be other reasons..."
Before he finished speaking, he noticed that Neridova was shaking her head, and he couldn't help but asked in shock: "Am I wrong?"
"Of course not! You won't see anything at the imperial meeting tomorrow. His Majesty's character will not get angry and reprimand him at this moment, even if he has strong objections to Paskovich, so you won't see anything."
"I estimate that at the imperial meeting tomorrow, His Majesty will at most make the report public and then announce the termination of the operation without any pain."
Count Kleinmicher looked at Neridova in disbelief with his eyes wide open, completely confused as to why his confidante was so sure that Nicholas I would not go crazy.
"I won't tell you anymore. This news is very important. I have to have a good chat with that count!"
Nelidova left in a hurry after leaving these words, leaving Count Kleinmicher speechless for a while, because the purpose of his coming here was to fall in love, but for some reason this confidante has always been
In a hurry, I haven't been tender with him for a long time.
In fact, Neridova also knew that Count Kleinmicher had a little resentment. She knew that this man was not interested in fame and wealth, and the only thing he cared about was the relationship between them. But she also knew how to maintain an ambiguous relationship in the crisis-ridden Winter Palace.
How dangerous it is. If you make a mistake, you will be completely destroyed.
The only way to ensure safety and to carry on their relationship for a long time is to try to gain a proactive position so that those monsters and monsters cannot threaten them. And now she felt that she had just the opportunity.
"Earl, you are so leisurely!"
Neridova sat down on the chair opposite Count Rostovtsev diligently and playfully, and said with a smile to the count who was holding a copy of "The Prince" and reading with gusto:
"You are taking a break from your busy work here, but you don't know that something big has happened over there, His Majesty!"
Count Rostovtsev did not close the book, but just looked up at her and said: "Really?"
Is this sentence right? Neridova was left speechless. She did mean to show off her words to whet her appetite. Even if you, Count Rostovtsev, sit firmly on the Diaoyutai, you can still cooperate to some extent. You will be like a wooden man all day long.
There's still fun to be had, I really don't know how you got your wife.
This resentment made Neridova a little secretly resentful. She said oh and stood up directly to leave: "It seems that you, Count, are not interested in this information? I'd better tell it to those who are interested...
"
After a short pause, seeing that Count Rostovtsev still had no reaction, Neridova shook her teeth and said, "I think Count Uvarov might be interested, what do you think?"
Count Rostovtsev finally raised his head completely, but still said expressionlessly: "Say what you want directly, it is of no use to me. If you don't want to waste time, you can go now
I'm looking for Count Uvarov. As far as I know, he is watching a play with Lady Alicestin at the National Theater."
Neridova was speechless because what Count Rostovtsev just said was too harsh. It not only pointed out where Count Uvarov was but also made it clear what he was doing. This simply told her
:Don’t play tricks. I have complete control over Count Uvarov’s actions. Even he can’t make trouble, let alone you!
"Mrs. Elistin?" Neridova said with feigned hatred, "That little slut hooked up with Count Uvarov? I have told Your Majesty a long time ago that that bitch is not a good thing!"
These words seemed to be criticizing Mrs. Alicetsin, but Count Rostovtsev knew very well that this was just Nelidova finding a way out for himself, so he didn't bother to make any expression, and just quietly watched this woman perform on her own.
.
Nelidova sat down slowly again, told the news brought by Count Kleinmicher in detail, and finally said with a smile: "Count, do you think Count Kleinmicher is suitable?"
He is not suitable for gilding in Wallachia. His status is always up and down, which is quite embarrassing. If this keeps going on, I really doubt that he will squander it forever..."
Count Rostovtsev smiled, but the smile felt full of ridicule, as if he was sarcastically mocking Neridova...
