If it were an ordinary noble lady, she would have been deceived by Count Uvarov, but Feodora was not an ordinary noble lady. Obviously her father's words could not convince her, but she was smart and filial and did not say it to her face.
What, just pretending to be convinced to make my old father happy.
Count Uvalov sighed as he watched Feodora leave. How could an old fox like him not be able to see what his little daughter was thinking? He knew that Feodora was just pretending to make him happy.
And this also made him feel more and more frustrated. When could he, Count Uvarov, not even be able to convince a little girl?
Think back then, whether it was Nicholas I, Prime Minister Neserrode or other cabinet ministers, who was not convinced by his theory? But now he is...
Count Uvarov feels that he is really old. Even if he is still ambitious, it cannot change the fact that he is old. Otherwise, how could he be so helpless?
In fact, Count Uvarov made a mistake. It was not because he was old and his persuasiveness had declined that led to everyone not believing in his trick. It was because his trick was finally exposed and the peep show could no longer fool people.
.
It’s not so much that he was very good at convincing Nicholas I and his group of people, but it’s better to say that the people he persuaded were actually people from the same road, and they were all the biggest beneficiaries of the old Russian system. Naturally, he became Uvaro.
They will definitely sing his praises after Count Husband puts forward his theory of safeguarding the old system.
The problem is that this old system can no longer survive. If you continue on a road until it reaches the end, you may overturn. We are all smart people. How can we stupidly rush in when we clearly see that it is a dead end?...
Naturally, they were dissatisfied with Count Uvarov's theory and even scorned it.
So it’s not that Count Uvarov’s theory has failed, but that his theory has never worked. As time goes by, it becomes more and more outdated, and it will naturally be eliminated!
This is something that the stubborn Count Uvarov will never admit. He always insists that there are bad people in the country, and it is these bad people who ruined the situation and made things out of control. It is impossible for him to reflect or reflect on it.
It is truly hopeless.
After encouraging himself and his theory in his mind, Count Uvarov suddenly thought of Vishniak. He didn't know why he suddenly thought of this illegitimate son. As a devout believer in Orthodox Christianity, he always insisted on
A healthy family relationship, and a deep aversion to finding lovers or mistresses.
But he himself suffered from eternal hatred because of a drunken mistake. Naturally, such a proud person was unwilling to face this mistake, so he tried his best to cover up and cover up, and even tried to erase this shameful evidence.
However, his old father stopped him. In the old man's words: "Tiger poison cannot eat its seeds. Although you don't like him, he is still your son. Even if he is only an illegitimate son, your blood still flows... You
If you really don't like him and don't want to see him, just let the mother and son leave and send them far away, out of sight and out of mind!"
At that time, the old Count Uvarov was also an undisputed figure in the family. Even the prosperous Count Uvarov had to bow to his old father, so Vishniak and his son were sent away. Then Count Uvarov passed by
After more than twenty years of peaceful life, it was as if none of this had ever happened.
But there was always a thorn in his heart. He would secretly keep an eye on Vishnyak's movements, fearing that this annoying illegitimate son would suddenly come out to recognize his family, and he was even prepared to kill him.
But what surprised him was that Vishnyak knew his life experience but never had the idea of acknowledging his relatives. He even hated his old father and regarded him as a enemy.
This made Count Uvarov happy and troubled at the same time. He was happy that the mistake would not be revealed and would not be known to the public. What was troublesome was that the illegitimate son actually dismissed him, which somewhat hurt his old father's self-esteem.
.
A simple summary of Count Uvarov's mentality is that I can ignore you, but you cannot ignore me.
This mentality became more and more serious as Vishnyak performed better and better. Compared with Count Uvarov's two biological sons, Vishnyak was simply more outstanding than ten.
As for his position, on one side he is a playboy who spends his days and nights, on the other side he is already an outstanding soldier and the future pillar of the empire.
This made Count Uvarov's mentality become more and more entangled. In recent years, the reason why he has become more and more dissatisfied with his two biological sons and tried every means to spur them is to some extent to compete with Vishniak.
.
He just wants to prove that a biological son is definitely better than an illegitimate son, and that his best bloodline is always on the direct side, not the son of a mere serf.
It's just that this desire to be strong has become increasingly unrealistic as he gradually loses power. Whether from a realistic or ideal perspective, it is impossible for Nikolai and Vladimir to overtake in a corner and suddenly become talented. This also means that
His most direct bloodline was beaten to pieces by the sons of serfs.
Looking at the crescent moon outside the window, Count Uvarov sighed faintly. He felt that the only bad thing in his life was that he was pregnant late in the evening, and the bad thing was that he lost his temper after drinking. Otherwise, even if he loses power now, he would not be so entangled.
So disturbing.
Just imagine if there was no such annoying person as Vishniak, although he would be very passive, at least he would not be upset and would not feel that he was a failure in career, family and education of his children.
He can more or less console himself by saying: "I am still a good father!"
But now Vishniak is right there. Even if he pretends to be invisible, he can't deceive himself. He has no shame in thinking that he is a good father. Have you ever seen a good father who wants to kill his son? Have you ever seen him?
A good father who has ignored his son for more than twenty years?
Obviously Count Uvarov is by no means a good father, just like he is by no means the best spiritual leader and truth in Russia. He is always just a fool who deceives himself and thinks he is smart!
Now the big fool is entangled in troubles. He thinks it is necessary to solve the Vishniak problem in his lifetime. Even if it is impossible for him to solve the current crisis in Russia, he also wants to make his personal affairs more perfect, so that
At least he will feel much calmer when he enters the tomb.
So how does Count Uvarov plan to solve this problem? He has his own unique ideas, and he is very arrogant that he will definitely succeed...
