Count Shuvanov left the imperial study happily, because Alexander II finally agreed to his request and agreed to let him return to work in the third department.
Of course, it is not the third unit that returns to Kiev, but the third unit headquarters that assists Pobedonostsev as his assistant.
To be honest, this result made Count Shuvanov overjoyed. After all, he could only be regarded as a middle-level boss in the third part before, and there was no way he could be an assistant to the boss in the third part. But now he was suddenly promoted to the third part.
At the top of the power ladder, he became a countable boss in the third film. How can people be unhappy with such a huge improvement!
Count Shuvanov became indignant when he thought about how he had worked hard as a dog for Count Uvarov and had done all the dirty work but was finally given up.
There is no harm without comparison. When he was in the Kingdom of Sardinia, he still missed the days of being a dog for Count Uvarov, and felt that he might not have such a good life in the future. But who could have thought that in the blink of an eye, he would change his life from a shotgun to a new one.
What does this mean? It fully shows that Count Uvarov is a bastard! God knows how much labor force that old fox squeezed out of him. If it were normal, he might have been given a better position long ago.
Count Shuvanov kept complaining that he was too stupid and should have changed his service partner earlier, but now he realized that it was not too late. What better beauty could there be than to directly take advantage of Alexander II?
Difference?
I believe that as long as he hugs these thick legs tightly, he will definitely be popular and drink spicy food in the future!
Count Shuvanov, who was so happy, did not notice that a carriage quickly caught up with his driver. At the moment when the two cars were side by side, someone called him through the window.
"Count! Wake up! Count!"
Count Shuvanov alerted himself and looked at the man who was calling him outside the car window, and asked in confusion: "Sorry, who are you? Forgive me that I don't know you!"
Count Shuvanov did not scold the other party for being impolite. After all, the person who dared to call him on the street like this would definitely not be without his feet. Even if the carriage opposite looked very ordinary, ordinary is indeed the best on the streets of St. Petersburg.
Good disguise.
"Sorry, Count, my master has asked me not to tell you my identity, but he has asked you to meet at the National Library."
Count Shuvanov frowned, subconsciously not wanting to accept the invitation, but before he could say the rejection, the man opposite said again: "My master said, this meeting will only do you good and not bad! And if
If you don’t go, you will definitely regret it!”
Count Shuvanov was surprised. Someone who dared to tell him to his face that he would regret it must be one of the most important figures in Russia. So who could this person be?
The first thing he thought of was Count Uvarov. The count was indeed so arrogant in the past, but he probably doesn't dare to do it now, right?
Baryatinsky or Pobedonostsev? Their information should not be that well-informed. It is unlikely that they knew about it just after Alexander II agreed to his request.
If they were really so awesome, how could they have been suppressed so miserably by Count Uvarov before?
After guessing for a long time, Count Shuvanov found that he had no clue. With the idea of broadening his horizons, he agreed to the invitation. When he entered the VIP room of the National Library and saw Count Rostovtsev sitting upright - he was surprised.
, confusion and fear came to my mind at the same time.
Naturally, he had heard about the power and status of Count Rostovtsev. As the most trusted think tank of Nicholas I and Alexander II, after the fall of Count Uvarov, this man became a powerful figure in the officialdom.
Already.
No wonder the servant would regret it if he said no. The frightened Count Shuvanov felt that he was not stupid, otherwise he would really cry and faint in the toilet in the future.
"Count, are you looking for me?" Count Shuvanov greeted respectfully.
Count Rostovtsev nodded slightly, motioned Count Shuvanov to sit down, and then said slowly: "Have you met your Majesty?" m..
"Yes!" Count Shuvanov nodded quickly.
Count Rostovtsev asked again: "His Majesty agreed to let you go to the third department to be Pobedonostsev's assistant?"
Count Shuvanov was stunned, because logically speaking, only Alexander II and him should know this news. At least according to Alexander II's wishes, this news will not be announced to the public for the time being. After all, the reformists are now like wolves and tigers.
Staring at the third part, any disturbance will easily attract their attention.
In line with the principle that more things are worse than less things, it is best to keep it secret for the time being. So how did Count Rostovtsev know the news? And he knew it so quickly?
For a time, Count Shuvanov had countless thoughts in his mind, and he had a deeper understanding of Count Rostovtsev's terror. He dealt with it carefully: "Your Majesty only has this idea, but in all aspects
I still have a lot of worries, so..."
"So we'll keep it a secret for now, right?" Count Rostovtsev took over the conversation in an understatement, scaring Count Shuvanov into a cold sweat.
He looked at Count Rostovtsev in horror. He wanted to say something but could not say a word. He looked like a drake with its neck tied up, which looked so ridiculous.
"You look stupid in shock," Count Rostovtsev commented calmly. "Do you really think there are any secrets in this country that can't be leaked?"
Count Shuvanov could not say a word. He did not understand what Count Rostovtsev meant when he said this to him. Was it a warning?
"It's a reminder!" Count Rostovtsev once again saw through his mind and said calmly: "Now that I know this secret, many people will also know that there is no airtight wall in the Winter Palace. So you
It's best to think clearly about what will happen if other people know this secret!"
Count Shuvanov swallowed hard. Others? Refer to the reformists or Count Uvarov?
Count Shuvanov was shocked again, not only because his thoughts were completely seen through, but also because he suddenly realized that Pobedonostsev would be unhappy after knowing this secret.
Yes, he landed in the third part as an assistant, but can you guarantee that Pobedonostsev will welcome him as an assistant?
At least Count Shuvanov himself didn't like this kind of assistant who was forced by the Tsar. Generally, this meant that the power was diluted, that there was a pair of eyes monitoring at close range, and that it meant all kinds of inconvenience and trouble!
