Chapter 211 Procrastination (Part 1)

Obviously Razumovski doesn't like Berkh or Uvarov, but then again, that doesn't mean much. Don't think that if he doesn't like those two goods, he will like Kornilov and Nasimov.

To put it simply, Razumovsky doesn't like Kornilov and Nasimov either. If he is given another chance to stand in line, he will not take advantage of Nasimov and Kornilow either. Husband side.

His so-called likes and dislikes are only for Lazarev's work art. He just thinks that Berkh can't be compared with Lazarev at all, that's all.

So when faced with Shuvalov's request, he just pondered for a moment, then nodded and agreed.

According to Shuvalov's request, he gave some people and gave some tasks, and then sat and watched the play leisurely.

Yes, this one is so weird. He didn't help Shuvalov himself, but chose to hide and watch the show. Is there a reason? It's also very simple, as Shuvalov said, the situation of their conservatives in the Black Sea Fleet is now grim.

Razumovsky knew exactly what the dire situation meant, that the conservatives in the Black Sea Fleet were about to die. He knew what would happen once Berge was dismissed and Grand Duke Constantine became the commander. Without even thinking about it, the Black Sea Fleet would definitely set off a big liquidation against Berge and his lackeys.

Someone may want to say, since you Razumovski know that Berge and his lackeys are likely to be liquidated, how can you not be in a hurry? You are still hiding and watching the show, what kind of weird ostrich mentality is this, you really think you can just bury your head in the sand and you're done?

Razumovsky is not an ostrich mentality, but he feels that he will not be liquidated, because he has never included himself in the circle of Berge's lackeys.

When Berge was on the stage, he was actually not close to Berge. For some of Berge’s requests, he would refuse if he could refuse, and be sloppy if he could, or even not participate if he could not participate. .

So, at this moment, Razumovski was actually relatively calm in his heart. He felt that even if Grand Duke Constantine came to power, he would not be able to catch him.

Even providing convenience to Shuvalov this time is the minimum. His meaning is actually very clear. Whether it is for Berkh or Shuvalov, deal with it if you can, and deal with it a little bit if you can’t deal with it. , in short, he is really just a monk who rings the bell, so don't make things difficult for him.

Razumovski's mentality is actually not a scorpion among conservatives.

In fact, many conservative supporters at the grassroots level share this mentality. They are actually not so willing to join the conservatives to help the evildoers. They also know which side is good for Russia, but who makes them helpless?

They are unwilling to give up the vested interests handed down from their ancestors, and they do not have the courage to revolutionize and innovate, but they are not willing to really be the horseboys and henchmen of conservative leaders like Uvarov, worried that if there is a revolution in the future The faction or reformists succeeded in settling accounts with them. So they simply became very negative, neither advancing nor retreating, and became a group of stagnant people who wrapped themselves in heavy camouflage.

Such people are not rare in Russia. You say they are bad, but they are not as bad as Uvarov and Shuvalov. You say they are not bad, but after all, they have not moved forward, and whether they want to or not In fact, I am willing to still be a dog for Uvarov and his ilk, which can be regarded as a minion for a tiger.

When Pushkin explained Razumovski's usual performance, Li Xiao probably knew what kind of person this was after a little thought. So he said to Pushkin without hesitation: "We have two approaches. You go to the military police headquarters to preside over the overall situation and try to resist Shuvalov's chaos! And I will meet the count and try to make him submit!"

Pushkin was surprised, because he felt that Li Xiao was unlikely to succeed. If Razumovsky was really such an ostrich, he would not even buy Uvarov's account, and he would give in if you go ?

Li Xiao didn't promise anything, but smiled and said, "I'm not absolutely sure whether it will succeed, but I have to try. What if it works?"

Pushkin was speechless right away, he thought Li Xiao was really trying his luck, but he didn't say anything, because even if Li Xiao didn't try, going to the Gendarmerie Command with him wouldn't be of much help, and His identity is sensitive, and he really showed up in public, but it is not beautiful. So he didn't hesitate and agreed directly.

Leaving aside Pushkin's reaction to the Gendarmerie Command, let's talk about Li Xiao, who drove directly to Razumovsky's house. As he guessed, the ostrich was not at the Gendarmerie Command. Presided over the overall situation, but hid at home.

It's just that Razumovski is at home, which doesn't mean that he will immediately agree to see Li Xiao. It's no surprise that the concierge directly rejected Li Xiao's request because the owner is not at home.

But Li Xiao is not a rookie either, he sneered and ordered: "Keep calling the door and tell the porter, if his master is not here, I will wait until he comes back!"

Razumovski, who was hiding in the house, had been looking at the carriage parked in front of his house. He had already had a premonition that today would not be peaceful, and he also had a premonition that someone would come to visit him. The only thing he didn’t foresee was that, The first one to come was Li Xiao and he came so early.

Naturally, he didn't want to see Li Xiao, because he knew very well the purpose of Li Xiao's visit, but he had already made up his mind, no matter what, he would not participate in today's affairs, no matter who came, he would not see him!

But he didn't expect Li Xiao to be so domineering, and he just told him not to leave, which made him a little annoyed.

After thinking about it for a long time, he felt that avoiding it should not be a good idea. If after a while, people from Berge or Shuvalov also came, and this group of people bumped into each other, it might be right at his door. In the final decisive battle, he couldn't do it even if he wanted to stay out of it, and he didn't have any excuses to prevaricate afterward.

Razumovski sighed faintly, and reluctantly ordered: "Please come in, Your Excellency the Grand Duke!"

Without much effort, Li Xiao entered Razumovski's living room, but as the host, Razumovski did not greet him. In fact, the living room was empty at this time, and Razumovski's The butler just said to Li Xiao like this:

"Your Excellency, my lord is dealing with some urgent business. It will take some time. Please wait a little longer!"
