Most of the onlookers were like mirrors in their minds, watching Uvarov's performance, neither criticizing nor agreeing, just like watching a play.
Why is the big guy's reaction so cold? The reason is very simple. If he exposes it, he will offend Uvarov to death. Although this bastard's position is not very important, his status in Nicholas I's heart is still nothing to say. Offend him.
Not cost effective.
As for agreeing with him and forming a group together to do a wave? Sorry, we are not interested in being your followers. Because the limelight has been taken away by Uvarov, there is no benefit to following him and it will only make Uvarov cheaper.
Gula I thought that this guy’s words were deeply rooted in the hearts of the people and everyone responded.
Naturally, no one wants to be a foil or a green leaf. Since you, Uvarov, want to be in the limelight, you can do it alone. As for whether Nicholas I and Crown Prince Alexander will see through it in the future, that is your own business.
It's just that at this time, neither Nicholas I nor Crown Prince Alexander had a very good impression of Uvarov. Especially Crown Prince Alexander, who had been facing the old man's humiliation alone for many years.
Today someone finally spoke for him. He was so moved!
Anyway, the number one loyalist in Alexander's heart is Uvarov, and the number two loyalist is Count Rostovtsev. Today these two people left such a deep impression on him that he felt that only people like these two people could
The most loyal and good ministers are those who are usually silent but stand up for justice at critical moments.
As for Menshikov and old Adlerberg, these guys are completely unreliable. At a critical moment, they turned into soft-footed shrimps and were useless.
Anyway, after returning to his residence, Crown Prince Alexander sighed to his good friend Duke Baryatinsky: "Today I know what a true loyal minister looks like!"
Duke Baryatinsky naturally heard about what happened at today's state meeting, and knew how humiliated his master had been today, but he did not have such a good opinion of the two loyal ministers mentioned by Crown Prince Alexander.
In the view of Duke Baryatinsky, the two most dangerous people in the entire court are Count Rostovtsev and Count Uvarov.
The presence.
All their feelings and emotions are shrouded in a thick layer of fog. You never know whether they are happy or in pain, let alone whether they are truly loyal.
In Duke Baryatinsky's view, only the most dangerous people need to hide their emotions so deeply. Other normal people have their own emotions, and they will express themselves naturally, and by interpreting these expressions, they will express themselves naturally.
Only by measuring the person's emotions can one identify the person's true emotions.
Anyone who can't see the difference is an old fox, and they are all unreliable, at least not loyal. Anyway, Prince Baryatinsky doesn't want to deal with those two people. He would rather kiss a Turk or a Persian.
I'd like to shake hands with those two because they are so scary!
It's just that, looking at Crown Prince Alexander in high spirits, Duke Baryatinsky couldn't say much, and after all, those two people helped Crown Prince Alexander at the critical moment, and they spoke ill of them in front of the Crown Prince.
, which is tantamount to asking for trouble.
Of course, as a friend, Duke Baryatinsky would not say nothing, but he said it very cryptically: "Your Highness, those two counts are so unexpected. I didn't expect them to act so decisively.
You tell me, looking at their behavior before, I thought they were very deep!"
In fact, the key point of what Duke Baryatinsky said was that the city was very deep. He was actually reminding Crown Prince Alexander to be more careful and not to be deceived by temporary illusions.
It's just that Crown Prince Alexander didn't hear it. He thought that Duke Baryatinsky felt the same as him and felt that he had misunderstood those two people before!
"Yes! If they hadn't stood up for themselves today, I, as the crown prince, would have ended up doing this!" Crown Prince Alexander said with a sigh, "Later, I went to apologize to the two of them and invited them to have dinner together. You guessed it, they
What was the answer?"
Duke Baryatinsky smiled bitterly. He really didn't expect that Crown Prince Alexander was so impatient that he had already gone to find those two people. But according to the Crown Prince, they seemed to have refused?
"Yes, they all refused!" Crown Prince Alexander became more and more excited as he spoke. "Count Uvarov said that today he just did what a minister should do. This is his duty and does not require praise; and
Count Rostovtsev said that he just did what he should do... These two are really different from others. If it were others, they would have been eager to show their credit, but they didn't feel that they had any merit at all.
This kind of character is really worthy of admiration!”
Duke Baryatinsky felt more and more that the matter was serious. It seemed that Crown Prince Alexander had a very good impression of those two people. He was indeed a secretive old fox. He knew that pretending to be noble at this time would maximize his interests.
change.
There's just one thing that Duke Baryatinsky doesn't understand. Although it's very important to leave a good impression on the crown prince in advance, is it necessary to spend such a huge sum of money? Look at Uvarov, he's just risking his life this time.
Ben, isn't he afraid of losing all his money?
What's more, Nicholas I is still in the prime of his life. His body is so strong and his energy is so good that he can ride several girls a day without losing breath. Even if he wants to flatter Crown Prince Alexander, is it too early? Why?
We have to wait until Nicholas I's energy has declined and his death is near before we book the book!
This is where Duke Baryatinsky is worse than Uvarov and Rostovtsev. Or maybe it’s because he was originally a military attache to Crown Prince Alexander, and he was in favor of Crown Prince Alexander almost every day, so he couldn’t see
To the importance of getting a good impression.
For Uvarov and Count Rostovtsev, they were originally the confidants of Nicholas I. They could not get too close to Crown Prince Alexander, otherwise it would be a recipe for death. So it was not easy to have an honest and fair way to slander Crown Prince Alexander.
How can you miss the opportunity of good feelings?
Of course, Uvarov and Count Rostovtsev had different starting points for gaining favor. The former wanted to continue to sell his three principles of "Orthodox Christianity, autocracy, and people's character" to Crown Prince Alexander, and that's why he spent so much money.
Go brush it. And Count Rostovtsev is just planning for a rainy day and making moves in his spare time...
