Road to Shunzhi

Chapter 126

"What, the goddess is actually married?!"

Frederick has been back for several years, but he still misses coral.This time he was sent to Daqing by his sister, his first reaction was that he could see his sweetheart, and he was extremely excited. The first thing he did after he set foot in the capital was to inquire about the situation of the coral, but the result he got made him not believe in himself at all. ear.

The people in the capital are simple and honest.Since Coral took over the Royal Relief Society, it has gone where there are difficulties, established a good image, and has a good reputation among the people.Plus she has such a model husband.Nalan Xingde's melancholy poet is very good at attracting fans, and he doesn't take concubines, and he treats the princess wholeheartedly, which has long been a good story in the capital and even most of China.The common people are very proud of this, and feel that the princess and the forehead are a perfect match...

The more they spread the word, the more heartbroken Frederick became.He is half a Chinese expert, and he has also heard the phrase "Do not leave the gate, do not step forward", and immediately pictured in his mind the situation where his goddess was pitifully imprisoned in a small backyard, and the chivalry broke out. He even forgot his mission, and he wanted to save the corals.

Sure enough, Ottoman's envoys were more dedicated. When Fulin heard that Frederick was single-mindedly looking for corals, he couldn't help but get a black line in his head.The Ottoman envoys were quite demanding. They wanted the Qing Dynasty to cut off ties with Tsarist Russia and continue to maintain a good relationship with them. It was best to only do business with them.

Fulin relentlessly left all these things to his son. Jing Er has been used very well by his father, and he resigned to his fate.In his eyes, Tsarist Russia is close and powerful, while Osman has begun to decline, so why bother with him.

However, the friendly relationship between Ottoman and China was obvious to all.Driven by common interests, there was also propaganda such as "China-Austria friendship is everlasting", which led to a period of time when ordinary people in Beijing had two kinds of views on foreigners: "Ottomans" and "other foreigners".Now, of course, we can't turn our backs and deny people, and besides, Osman didn't do anything to offend Daqing at all, Jing E felt a headache.

He had been educated in Confucianism since he was a child, but unlike his father, he decided to find a more plausible reason, so that at least the Qing Dynasty could gain the upper hand in terms of public opinion.

And when Jing E was busy trying to find an excuse to deal with government affairs, Coral was also very busy.After several days of persistent squatting, Frederick finally found the coral's travel trajectory and successfully intercepted it.

Nalan Xingde's eyes were burning.Is it easy for him to marry a daughter-in-law, first he has to go through many tests, his daughter-in-law's father is the emperor, his daughter-in-law's elder brother is the prince, even the daughter-in-law herself is powerful.Now they finally got married, but the queen mother passed away, and they still have to keep their filial piety.He hasn't touched his wife for a long time, okay, but this inexplicable foreigner appeared shamelessly in front of them.

Frederick looked like "I'm here to save you", and said affectionately to Coral: "Your Royal Highness, you have suffered!"

She suffers only because of you!Nalan Xingde didn't care about his attitude as a scholar at all, and wanted to punch him, Shan Hu held him aside, and said softly: "You don't need to get angry, you don't need to pay attention to this kind of people."

Nalan Xingde rolled his eyes, supported her, and said, "Be careful where you step."

The two walked away affectionately, leaving only Frederick, who was ignored, miserable. He felt that the whole world was gloomy, and he was still downcast when he went to Lifanyuan.Everyone in the Lifan Academy knew his wishful thinking and ignored it. Even Frederick's entourage said: Grand Duke, you should be sad and obedient. Your goddess is already married, and lovers are not popular in the Qing Dynasty.

But the more Frederick thought about it, the more uncomfortable he felt.The news that the Dutch Grand Duke successfully married Daqing Gege spread all over the world.It is said that Heshuo Gege is also the emperor's daughter (heavy fog!), and Shanhu is also the emperor's daughter. Why can't Mao marry him?By the way, if you can't be a lover, then remarry. His current background is also very powerful. His sister is in England and he is an envoy. If he makes a deal with England and the Qing Dynasty, maybe he can succeed?You must know that the silver taels purchased by England from the Qing Dynasty every year can be used as a unit of [-] million.

Jing Er looked at Frederick with an idiotic look: does his sister know that he is so stupid?He was so relieved to entrust such things as envoys to him. It seems that his sister also has a problem!But, what method can be used to make this guy stop this strange thinking?Frederick was right. The market in England is huge, and no one would think of giving up.

Paranoia is scary.Jing E's earnest words did not persuade Frederick to change his mind, and he even said such things as marrying another noble girl to him, but this person was convinced of Shan Hu and refused to let go.Jing E discovered the importance of transportation for the first time, and he firmly believed that if the Queen of England knew that her younger brother was so unreliable, she would definitely stand on the side of justice.No wonder Huang Ama always said "If you want to get rich, build roads first", Huang Ama is really far-sighted!

Therefore, the problem was quickly pushed to the far-sighted emperor.Fulin was very helpless, not because the matter was difficult, but because his son was too tender.

Fulin personally summoned Frederick, and Jing E listened.In Fulin's view, Frederick is a second-year-old.He is the most experienced in middle school and so on. You must know that the body he occupies is a senior middle school patient.

"I heard that you have always had a deep affection for my daughter?"

As soon as Fulin opened his mouth, Frederick was overjoyed, thinking that he had impressed the emperor, and quickly began to describe how he had longed for Shan Shan when he was at home, and what happened after he learned that Shan Shan was married. It hurts so much.He also said that he could fight Nalan Xingde for Princess Coral, and the winner would win the princess' heart.

That's it, that's it!Jing'er started to have a headache again.The outlook on the world and life is completely different. No matter how much you persuade this foreigner, he will stick to his own ideas!Talking to him is so tiring, it will shorten my life!

Fulin smiled calmly, and said: "Huanhu is my daughter, and I know her best. I can tell you frankly that Grand Duke Frederick is not her type. What she likes is the kind who has a big picture view." , a man who can do great things and be relied on by others. Her forehead is now the first-class bodyguard by my side. What about Grand Duke Lie? Queen Mary sent you here to represent England to discuss business with the Qing Dynasty, but you only think about my princess. With such a man, how can I trust my daughter to you."

Frederick was blushing at the words, and said with a stiff neck: "I will definitely be a hundred times better than that forehead son-in-law, and please let the emperor of the Qing Dynasty see my sincerity and ability!"

"Yes." Fulin agreed very readily, "It depends on your performance, Grand Duke."

Frederick was immediately full of confidence, and immediately resigned, saying that he would go to Li Fanyuan now to discuss business with Gao Sai.Jing E looked at the back of this guy going away, full of admiration for his own emperor Ama, but at the same time worried, what would happen if this paranoid took it seriously.Regarding this, Fulin just said indifferently: "Did I promise him anything?"

It seems, really not.A bead of sweat dripped from Jing's forehead. The four words "You have no jokes" can be interpreted in this way, and you should be taught.

Because of the presence of a second-hand guy who wants to get the attention of beauties, Gao Sai's work is progressing very smoothly.Frederick had long put his position in the position of the Qing Dynasty. As long as there was a concession within his authority, he would directly make a decision. The current traffic situation, the letter has been delivered, and the agreement has been signed.

Under the personal teaching of his own Huang Ama, Jing Er deeply understood the meaning of the word "fudge", and quickly used it in actual combat.The Ottoman envoys once again felt the warmth of the spring breeze in the Qing Dynasty. No matter where they went, they were greeted with warm reception and smiling faces of the people.The prince was also very gentle and polite, and he denied Qing's plan to alienate Ottoman, saying that everything was a rumor, and everyone's friendship still existed.The envoys were all dazzled by this wonderful life, and each of them patted their chests and promised that they would vigorously promote the friendship and kindness of the Qing Dynasty after returning home.

"Jinger, you see, the difference between Ottoman and England." Fulin specially came to a training camp for his son because of this matter, "Ottoman's envoys are full of fat, potbellied, and older, give them some benefits They are all dizzy. Except for Frederick who is unreliable, England's envoys can withstand the temptation of money and beautiful women. This is the difference between a dying country and a rising country. If a country's ministers are like Ottoman As it is, the country has no future."

"That's why Huang Ama is so strict about corruption?"

"Yes. I don't want to see the foundation that my ancestors worked so hard to be ruined by corrupt officials. I have seen the appearance of those courtiers when the Ming Dynasty fell. I don't want hundreds of years later, the courtiers of the Qing Dynasty become like that.”

A while ago, Fulin sentenced more than a dozen corrupt officials to beheaded with a stroke of his pen. Jing E once expressed his bewilderment.In his opinion, governing a big country is like cooking a small fish, and these things should be done slowly. Now it seems that he has a little understanding.

"As an emperor, the most taboo thing is to take it slow." Fulin seemed to see what he was thinking, "What is good at the top must be followed by the bottom. The emperor keeps his face on corruption, and the people below will feel corrupt. Some things are not a big deal. The big tail can’t be lost, and when the time comes to deal with it, there will be many taboos. Once you make up your mind to do something, you have to start from the beginning. Since I came to the throne, I have shown my attitude towards corruption. Dare to say that it is completely eliminated, at least this kind of phenomenon is rare. If I don’t pay attention to it at the beginning, it will be bad to manage after the nobles of the eight major surnames are corrupt, they are intertwined, and they form a group for profit.”

Jing forehead nodded, thoughtfully.He sees the emperor's actions most clearly.Huang Ama actually weakened the power of the Manchu nobles, trying to make the Man-Han distinction and the Man-Han conflicts less intense.But at the same time, Huang Ama often sent Manchu officials into the palace to chat. On the one hand, he learned the situation from them, and on the other hand, he wanted to see their intentions and divide them.Or, he still has a lot to learn.

The author has something to say:

Well, in fact, it’s really not far from the emperor’s box lunch.Then, Mouxi decided to use Fanwai to satisfy everyone, and Fanwai is free, so why not hesitate, come and order!
