Chapter 432 Melancholy

Bariatinsky also burst out laughing immediately, Pobedonostsev was right at all, for people like the old Adlerberg, if it weren't for their rising power For the sake of the ability to wrestle with Count Uvarov's wrist, it would not be tipped off at all.

In other words, this can be regarded as a certain degree of recognition, and this kind of recognition makes Bariatinski feel very happy to be honest. That kind of sense of accomplishment is not comparable to winning one or two battles on the battlefield before.

It was a kind of all-round pleasure, feeling so comfortable in body, mind and every cell!

Bariatinsky was intoxicated for a while before he said with a smile: "This is a good thing, but we can't be careless. Count Uvarov is still very powerful. This time we will have a good fight with him!"

This seems to be a warning, but in fact it is still pride. It's not hard to see that Bariatinsky is looking forward to this confrontation. He is going to use this confrontation to prove his strength and tell those old guys and young people in the faction that he is the future leader!

In a sense, this is a battle for Bariatinsky to determine his status. Through this battle, he will completely establish his unshakable position within the faction and become the second person besides Count Uvarov .

Full of confidence, he couldn't wait, which made Pobedonostsev secretly a little worried, not that he was worried that Bariatinsky would lose badly. This possibility basically does not exist, after all, even The crown prince Alexander is on their side, and it is indeed difficult to fail miserably.

Pobedonostsev was worried about other problems. He worried about what would happen to his line of troops if Count Uvarov collapsed.

The fall of the old lion means that the new army stands up. In the officialdom, this kind of alternation usually means violent turmoil, which may cause quite a bit of confusion.

Pobedonostsev was a little worried about this confusion, because he knew that Bariatinsky was not planning to replace Count Uvarov immediately, and his purpose was to firmly occupy the second-in-command position and prepare to wait for Uvarov After the earl stepped down, he took over smoothly.

This also means that the power alternation of the Lion King is not completed in one battle, but a trend similar to the coexistence of the two masters will appear.

And what the world fears most, especially the officialdom, is that there are two bosses, which will make people at a loss what to do, which will greatly weaken the cohesion and execution of the conservatives. It might not be possible to reach a consensus internally no matter what, and it will become a constant prevarication and infighting between Bariatinsky and Uvarov.

This is terrible, anyway Pobedonostsev is not willing to see this happen,

So he actually wanted to remind Baryatinski that enough is enough. Even if he has confirmed his status this time, he had better be careful when working with Uvarov in the future. set.

It's just that Pobedonostsev swallowed the words back, because just by looking at Bariatinsky's expression, you can tell how much he is looking forward to it, and pouring cold water on it at this time will definitely not have good results eat.

What's more, for Pobedonostsev, Count Uvarov is also on the opposite side. It would be interesting for him not to help Bariatinsky with the other party. How can he speak for him?

So in the end Pobedonostsev didn't say anything, just accompanied Bariatinsky to be happy and prepare.

Two flowers bloomed, each representing a branch. While the two brothers were planning a big fight, Count Uvarov was also actively preparing for the battle. Or he was closely observing the movements of Bariatinsky and his gang.

why?

It all started when he told old Adlerberg that he was going to deal with Barjatinsky. Count Uvarov really meant to deal with Bariatinsky. He also wanted to consolidate his position and prevent someone from usurping the throne.

In a sense, his and Bariatinsky's goals are actually very similar. They didn't intend to kill the other party, but wanted to teach the other party a lesson to strengthen their position.

So don't look at how aggressive Count Uvarov was when he told old Adlerberg about it. But he really had no intention of killing Bariatinsky.

Even the reason why he told old Adlerberg about this matter, he had other plans. Doesn't he know that Adlerberg and his son are information baskets, and it is impossible to keep any secrets absolutely secret. It is even conceivable that such a big event, with the personality of the old fox stepping on two boats, would definitely try to leak the secret to Bariatinsky.

To put it bluntly, Count Uvarov actually wanted to use his mouth to warn Bariatinsky, and then look at Bariatinsky's attitude.

Yes, for Count Uvarov, if Baryatinsky calmed down immediately after receiving the news from old Adlerberg, and even offered tea to apologize Once it's gone, there's nothing left to do.

It would be best if this was the case, but it would be good for Count Uvarov if Bariatinsky did not intend to succumb. Because he can clarify the opponent's ambition, and this kind of ambition must be vigilant and beaten for him.

So at that time, he can let go of his actions and teach Bariatinsky and his gang a heavy lesson, letting them know what the last name of a conservative is!

For Count Uvarov, the old Adlerbergs were nothing more than a tool he used to throw stones and ask for directions.

But now the result of the stone-throwing question is basically clear, and the news that Bariatinsky and his gang are actively preparing for the war cannot be hidden from his eyes. It was clear at a glance what Bariatinsky wanted to do.

"Why!"

Count Uvarov sighed faintly. If he knew Chinese, he might even have to recite a sentence: "My heart is towards the bright moon."

But that kind of melancholy still made him a little uncomfortable. After all, Bariatinsky was grown up by him, and this little tiger had already given birth to the idea of ​​killing his father, which made his old father feel a lot of emotion. !

It took a while for Count Uvarov to get out of this feeling. He looked at the Winter Palace, which was invisible in the distance, and after sorting out his mood, he asked the housekeeper: "Is there any latest news from Kiev?"

Yes, he still paid close attention to the situation in Kiev, because after thinking about it for a long time these days, he always felt that there was something wrong there, and it felt like he was being led by the nose by an invisible opponent from the beginning to the end.

However, after carefully checking Earl Shuvalov's report, he did not find that this opponent really existed, so he wrote a letter to Shuvalov a few days ago, asking him to re-examine the relevant situation to see if there is any new discoveries...
