Chapter 908 Too Happy Too Early

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 to assist 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. And now he is suddenly promoted to the top level of power in the third part and becomes a countable boss in the third part. 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 would have thought that in the blink of an eye he would be completely transformed.

This shows what? It fully shows that Count Uvarov is a bastard! God knows how much labor that old fox squeezed out of him. If it had been under normal circumstances, he might have gotten 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 hook up with 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 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 rude. 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 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 that this meeting will only bring you benefits and no harm! And if If you don’t go, you will definitely regret it!”

Count Shuvanov was surprised. The person who dared to tell him face to 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 wouldn't dare to do so 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 all came to my mind.

He had naturally 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. .

No wonder the servant regretted not coming. 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 work as an assistant to Pobedonostsev in the third department?"

Count Shuvanov was stunned, because logically speaking, only Alexander II and him should know this news. At least according to Alexander II's intention, 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 doing more is worse than doing less, keeping it secret for the time being is the best policy. So how did Count Rostovtsev know this news? Did you know 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 lightly, 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 about what will happen if other people know this secret!”

Count Shuvanov swallowed hard, others? Are you referring to the reformists or Count Uvarov?

"Including Pobedonostsev!" Count Rostovtsev reminded again.

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 doesn't like this kind of assistant who is forced by the Tsar. Generally, this means that the power is diluted, means that there is a pair of eyes monitoring at close range, and it means all kinds of inconvenience and trouble!
