Road to Shunzhi

Tsar Fedor is actually a hard-working child.His father was not a master of hard work, nor was he a genius himself.His health is not good, and there are capable younger siblings watching over him.Although Tsarist Russia has a large area, there are also quite a large area of ​​barren land. Not to mention taxation, it is difficult to even feed people.Then there are natural disasters from time to time, and even Moscow likes to play with snow disasters.Therefore, after he took office, he was struggling to raise money, wishing that he could have the spell of turning stones into gold.As a result, the Turghut Ministry still wanted to make a comeback.After he received the official letter from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Qing Dynasty, he was completely outraged.

How kind he is to the Turghut Ministry!The lower reaches of the Volga River, what a rich and beautiful land, he lent it to this group of people to camp, this is the embodiment of his sea-like mind!But now?This group of people pushes an inch!Didn't they just ask them to borrow some people to fight a few battles? There is no one who survives a war, and his own soldiers have sacrificed a lot. But they have such a big opinion, and they ran to find someone to support them. Not ordinary excessive!Daqing is not a thing, directly proposed to buy land.Tsar Fedor is still the same as many ordinary people in his bones: the head can be cut off and the blood can be shed, and my land cannot be lost!

Fedor wanted to throw the letter directly on the head of the envoy Suo'etu. Fortunately, he still kept a trace of calm. The current Qing Dynasty is not so easy to mess with. The emperor of the Qing Dynasty has nothing to do and needs to find something. He came out hoping that others would fight him to make money. If he was really impulsive, the Qing emperor would definitely be very happy to find a new opportunity.

"Since you want to buy it sincerely, it's fine, but you have to give an appropriate price." Fedor almost gritted his teeth and said these words, "As for the specific amount, I still need to discuss it with the ministers before we can buy it." Let me tell you.”——Be sure to offer an unimaginable sky-high price, or I’m sorry for being angry with myself!

Suo'etu agreed nonchalantly, looking like a dude who said "I'm rich, let me quote you", but he kept thinking in his heart.He was sent here for a reason. This guy is versatile and motivated. He speaks Russian fluently and can speak Mongolian. No matter whether it is Tsarist Russia or the Turghut Ministry, he cannot be fooled easily.Therefore, he also tried his best to complete this job well. You know, this is supervised by the prince. If it is done well, it will not only make meritorious service, but also leave a good impression of its ability in front of the next generation of leaders. It kills two birds with one stone.After his own position is enough, and then try every means to rehabilitate his father, his life will be perfect!

Suo'etu, who fantasizes about the future, decides that after working in Tsarist Russia, he must satisfactorily overfulfill the task. The minimum rent given by the emperor is 3000 taels a year, and he must cut this number down to less than 2000 taels!

Fulin, who was far away in Beijing at this time, was not having an easy time.England's rapid rise after the war was like riding a rocket, so fast that it caught the attention of the whole world, and Fulin was no exception.The East India Company is a pure business. Where there is money, go there. England has also begun to participate in it. It is still in the trial operation stage, but Guangdong Customs has discovered several cases of English businessmen smuggling opium.This behavior of stabbing a knife in the back while shouting "China-UK friendship" is really shameful!Fulin planned to deport these businessmen if they caught a similar situation again, and never allowed them to come in again, but unexpectedly, he was unanimously opposed by the court.

The Chinese have always regarded themselves as "the kingdom of heaven" and "a great country".This is not to blame everyone, at least during the Han and Tang Dynasties, China was definitely able to be proud of the world, and the pride in the bones has been passed down from generation to generation, and it is no exception now.

In the eyes of the courtiers, the current Qing Dynasty is already rich and powerful enough.If you want to make money, you have business routes, and if you want to fight, you have guns. Recently, God has been very kind and did not bring any major natural disasters. Everyone is somewhat satisfied.Yes, England has risen, but what kind of trouble can such a palm-sized place make?Moreover, the astonishing trade surplus of the Qing Dynasty every year is not just for fun. If you eat meat yourself, you can't let others eat soup, right?It would be bad if all the people in the world betrayed their relatives.If you are a big country, you should have the demeanor of a big country.

Fulin was almost speechless.He can't tell everyone that if it is not controlled, opium will spread throughout the Qing Dynasty and make the people weak, right?If he really said it, even if he is the emperor, it is estimated that everyone will invite a shaman or cry for the Taimiao.He had no choice but to use the emperor's one-and-done patent again, regardless of the accusations of the ministers, "Your Majesty, you have only been well for a few days, why are you starting to fuck again", saying that he is the emperor, he has the final say.

The customs strictly implemented the emperor's order and permanently expelled two English merchants who brought opium into the customs. One of them was an aristocrat. Due to a headache, he brought opium to make medicine.

Too wronged!England began to use this as an excuse to keep complaining, and Fulin also felt the different atmosphere in the court. Everyone didn't say anything, but silently expressed their opposition in their eyes: Your Majesty, why don't you listen to us? So, is someone else making a fuss?

At such a moment, Fulin completely left the matter to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and let his hard-working brother take care of it. This is not because he is shirking responsibility, but in his opinion, everything in the world is inferior to him at this time. The Palace of Compassion and Ning was critical, and Bumbutai fell ill.

To be honest, Fulin never expected that the usually healthy Queen Mother would get sick.In history, this empress dowager was famous for her longevity, and he didn't remember the exact time, but he always felt that his mother-in-law would not get sick, and would be healthy and healthy in the Palace of Compassion and Ning, waiting for him to say hello, yes laugh at him.

As the saying goes, the healthier people are, the more serious their illnesses will be. Bumbutai is like this.She has always been well maintained, her children and grandchildren are filial, and she has no worries. The only dissatisfaction is that her son has fewer women.But let’s have less, at least there are fewer people, and the harem is not as smoky as Huang Taiji’s back then, so it’s okay, so you don’t get tired.

So, with such ease, Bumbutai gradually lost her former vigor, and instead became more and more like an ordinary old lady, enjoying the filial piety of her sons, daughters-in-law, grandchildren, and now she even has great-grandsons and great-granddaughters. Now, the days are slow and repetitive, simple but happy.

She was fine at first, but that day Fuquan's Fujin and the Crown Princess came to see her with their children in their arms. The two children were about the same age, and Fuquan's daughter was a little older. Group, looks very cute.She teased the children with the fruit on the table, and she ate two more by herself, so she got up to go to the toilet twice at night, and lay down on the bed the next day.

An inexplicable panic gripped Fulin's heart. He kept putting pressure on the Tai Hospital, and at the same time wished he could stay by Bumbutai's bed all the time.

"Stupid child." Bumbutai smiled, "You are the emperor, and you are still so willful. Erniang is fine, as long as there is Renna here, you should go busy with your state affairs."

Ren Na also persuaded him: "Yes, cousin, with me here, what else do you have to worry about?"

It's not that I'm worried, it's that I don't want to miss it again.Fulin promised them with his lips, but still went to the Compassionate Palace every day, and even ordered his two older sisters who were married to Mongolia to come back to serve their illness.

That's right, he didn't want to miss it again.In the previous life, he kept thinking, if he was more sensible and acted like a baby, would his mother think of him before impulsively jumping off the building, would she stop?Moreover, a few days before his mother died, he was called to school by the teacher because he peeked at extracurricular books in class.

In this life, he still kept thinking: If he knew how to give in and be gentle, would his uncle not be so hard-working and sick?Or he might as well go to a showdown with his uncle earlier, so that uncle can spend his old age peacefully with Er Niang?

There are no ifs in life.He didn't want to let Er Niang do anything, and he didn't want to think about the countless "ifs" afterwards.

Ya Tu and Atu came here from Mongolia almost as fast as they could.This matter was hidden from Bumbutai, and when she saw her daughter whom she had not seen for many years suddenly appear in front of her, even she couldn't help but burst into tears.

"Emiang, I just want to make you happy. Take a look. In this way, I feel like I've done something wrong." Fulin suddenly acted like a baby in his old age, but he broke up with his siblings whom he hadn't seen for many years. The gap between people.

Ya Tu wiped his tears with a handkerchief: "Your Majesty, you have gray hair."

"So what, I'm a man. It's good that the sisters don't change." Ya Tu and A Tu still have black hair and bright hair, and they can't be seen as grandmas at all.

Bumbutai smiled: "It's rare to come back, so we must stay longer. If your husband's family has any objections, let them come to Ai's family, and the old woman of Ai's family will tell them!"

I have to say that having a daughter to take care of is different.Yatu, Atu, and Renna got along for a few days, and found that they had the same temper, and they were about to get better soon. The few of them worked hard together to serve them, coupled with their good mood, Bumbutai's illness improved day by day, and he was already able to recover. Get out of bed and take two steps.

Only then did Fulin breathe a sigh of relief, and put his mind back on the government.Yatu didn't come here in vain, she also brought a piece of news: in Horqin, already half of Mongolia, the most authoritative person is not the prince, let alone the emperor, but the Living Buddha.

The Mongols believe in Tibetan Buddhism, which has reached a point where they are close to becoming obsessed.The living/Buddha status is frighteningly high.Not only do they own a lot of property, but they also have great power.It is said that some la/mas even use the method of "preaching blessings" to find beautiful women, and the families of those beautiful women happily send their daughters/wife/daughter-in-law to the la/ma's bed. .....

No wonder Kangxi in history used the method of controlling living Buddhas to control Mongolia.Fulin felt that this method was undoubtedly conniving.He wants to do the opposite. On the one hand, he will give sweet dates, and on the other hand, he will open up Mongolia's wisdom and trade routes.

Master Chen, it's time for you to shine again!
