Count Shuvanov immediately sobered up. Pobedonostsev would probably not welcome his arrival. Even if he welcomed him on the surface due to the pressure of Alexander II, in fact he would definitely give him small shoes.
Suddenly Count Shuvanov felt a pain in the ass. According to this analysis, Pobedonostsev would not welcome him, and Nikolay Milyutin's reformist group would not welcome him either. In other words, he was
Just after taking office, he has become a stranger inside and outside. Isn’t this a lie?
Count Shuvanov couldn't complain, because he asked for the third part on his own initiative. Isn't this just looking for trouble? Fortunately, he thought that this operation would get full marks, but now it seems that it is not the case.
Isn’t it good to be smart?
Count Shuvanov wanted to hide his face, but he immediately thought that Count Rostovtsev was not a warm-hearted and good person. The relationship between this count and him was very ordinary, so there was no reason to remind him. But he just wanted to
There must be a reason for this!
"Are you wondering why I have to remind you?" Count Rostovtsev asked calmly.
Count Shuvanov was stunned. He felt that there was no need for him to open his mouth to speak to Count Rostovtsev. They could see through his thoughts anyway, and he had no secrets at all in front of him.
Count Rostovtsev glanced at him and said to himself: "Of course I won't be so kind as to remind you in vain. After all, there is no free lunch in this world... I just think you have some brains and are relatively good at doing things.
...And I need some eyes and ears in the third part, do you think you have the ability to do it?"
Count Shuvanov was stunned, because normally he should say "Are you interested in taking this job?" instead of asking if you are qualified. Count Rostovtsev didn't seem to care at all.
It's not that he wants the job, but he's worried that he won't be able to do the job well. This is a bit overbearing and annoying.
No matter how big or small he is, he is still a person. Why does he seem to be able to be manipulated casually in the other person's eyes? He is said to be round but not square. What does this mean?
However, before Count Shuvanov could express his position, Count Rostovtsev continued: "Don't tell me that you don't need this job, unless you want to be excluded and marginalized, and then completely let His Majesty
Disappointed, I can only spend the rest of my life like a loser."
Without waiting for Count Shuvanov to speak, Count Rostovtsev added: "Of course, if you like to be a loser, I can speed up the process. After all, I don't like to go to such a crucial part of the third part with someone who is not on the same page as me."
Department, you are right!"
Count Shuvanov swallowed hard, and Count Rostovtsev's devilish smile made him completely sober. The other party did not ask for his opinion at all, but told him clearly: "Those who follow me will prosper."
"Those who oppose me will perish", the truth is that simple, it depends on how you choose!
Of course Count Shuvanov didn't want to be cooled off so quickly, so he quickly lowered his head and replied humbly and tamely: "It's my honor to serve you, and I'm happy to serve you!"
"Very good," Count Rostovtsev said with a contemptuous smile, "then you will be my eyes and ears in the third part, Pobedonostsev or Grand Prince Andrei and Nikolai Milyutin.
If you have any actions, you can come here to find the director of the library and tell him your findings, and I will evaluate your achievements and give you appropriate rewards."
Count Shuvanov did not dare to raise his head and answered cautiously: "Yes!"
Count Rostovtsev glanced at him and smiled contemptuously: "Don't be so resistant. This will only benefit you and not harm you. If I have any bad intentions for you, I'm afraid you won't even have the chance to go to the Kingdom of Sardinia early."
He was tortured to death by Count Uvarov!"
Count Shuvanov was shocked again. He really didn't expect that the opportunity to take refuge in the Kingdom of Sardinia was actually Count Rostovtsev's work. In other words, he had come into the count's sight from that time on.
Thinking of this, he swallowed again, feeling wet on his back, and became more and more afraid of Count Rostovtsev's inscrutability.
Count Rostovtsev continued to say in an orderly manner: "By the way, I forgot to remind you that Count Uvarov is waiting for you at your mansion. I believe you will be familiar with what he wants to do. Remember it.
, agree to his conditions, and if nothing unexpected happens, he should let you be the eyes and ears of the third part, haha..."
Count Shuvanov's head hung lower. He knew very well that this was still Count Rostovtsev's beating and warning to him. Obviously, the other party was telling him that even a big man like Count Uvarov couldn't do anything.
Escape from his surveillance, let alone a rotten bird egg like him.
Count Shuvanov was in a daze when he walked out of the National Library. He was no longer as cheerful and high-spirited as when he came out of the royal study. Only then did he realize that he was nothing compared to the real big shots.
The little tricks he played before were simply ridiculous. Fortunately, he still thought he was smart. Anyway, he was hit hard, let alone raising his tail, he didn't even dare to stick his butt out.
This thought reached its climax when he met Count Uvarov at the door of his house. Apparently Count Rostovtsev had seen through everything, and even Count Uvarov, who once was able to control everything, was no longer his opponent.
What's more, he is far inferior to Count Uvarov?
Count Shuvanov did not recover a little until Count Uvarov was sent away. He knew that he was unable to refuse and could only bear it silently, but he vowed that one day he would wash away today's shame!
"It's okay. To be favored by Count Rostovtsev is also a good thing in a sense," he kept comforting himself in his heart. "If he hadn't been capable, the count wouldn't have targeted him. No.
Useful waste has no right to enter the earl's eyes, not to mention serving that earl is tantamount to hugging a big thick leg, at least there is one more backer..."
If Count Rostovtsev knew Count Shuvanov's thoughts, he would probably laugh out loud, because he didn't really want to use Count Shuvanov at all. The reason why he wanted to do this was that more
It is to prepare for a rainy day, but also to indirectly beat this little fox.
Of course, it would be better if this little fox honestly reported the inside information about Pobedonostsev, which would give him an additional understanding of Alexander II and Baryatinsky.
