Four elder brothers take the script of salted fish

The news that Suo'etu sent back the eight hundred li urgent letter quickly spread.

The first reaction in the court was that the damned Raksha State had torn up the agreement again. The violent generals were already furious, and at the same time they secretly scolded the Raksha State for being shameless, they stood up one after another when they boarded the court hall the next day. , to fight to the death with the Raksha Kingdom.

Kangxi Fu forehead: ………

After confirming that Yinzhen was fine, he was in a good mood. Faced with this situation, Kangxi did not hesitate, and said in a deep voice, "The Raksha Kingdom has not broken the agreement."

The faces of the generals froze with anger: "...that's it?"

As for the rest of the officials, their faces became more serious, and they all thought about what other important matters needed to be sent back by Suo'etu with an urgent letter of [-] miles.

Before they could figure out the reason, the emperor's voice sounded next to their ears: "It's my...fourth elder brother, missing."

Manchao civil and military: ...

In the moment of silence, the hall was full of noise, everyone forgot where they were, and discussed with each other in shock.

The fourth elder brother is missing?The fourth elder brother is missing!

After Kangxi dropped such a bomb, he announced his withdrawal from the court, and all the civil and military officials in the court were still talking about it when he walked outside the door.

It is only a matter of time before the court knows and the harem knows.

The expressions of the concubines who were still paying their respects at the Palace of Compassion and Peace froze for a moment, and they hardly dared to look at the expressions of Concubine Tong and Concubine De.

The Empress Dowager covered her heart.

Su Mala was so anxious that the palace officials hurriedly announced the imperial physician—the imperial physician fainted before the concubine De concubine arrived, and the scene became a mess.

Going to the study is not much better.

Yinzuo couldn't believe what he heard, he rushed all the way to the Qianqing Palace regardless of the guards' obstruction, and begged Khan Ama to agree to go to the place where the fourth brother disappeared.

Kangxi, who got the news, of course would not agree.

It should be said that even Kangxi, who has not received the news, would not agree - the sixth elder brother is just a yellow-haired boy after all.Kangxi first praised Yinzuo's attitude, and then ruthlessly rejected his request: "What you should do now is to study hard. I will naturally arrange the matter of finding your fourth brother."

really?

Really?

Yinzuo was so anxious that he turned around and went to find his brothers to discuss the matter.

Prince Yinreng learned from Queen Renxiao that his fourth brother was safe and sound, and the fifth and eighth elder brothers also knew about it.Except for the three who looked slightly calm, the rest of them were all restless.

Yinfeng, Yinqi and Yinhu all wanted to comfort their brothers.

However, Yinzhen's secret could not be revealed, so that the three of them blushed and couldn't speak for a while—it seemed as if they had been severely hit by this matter.

As for Yinti.

He couldn't describe how he felt when he heard the news, as if he felt that he was the only one who could defeat Yinzhen, but he was at a loss and didn't know how to react even though the hatred was accumulated in his heart at the moment.Yinti could only nestle in the arms of Concubine De, gently wiped away the tears for Concubine De: "Emiang, Emiang."

Concubine De's tears seemed to flow endlessly.

She leaned weakly on the bed, and her whole body was haggard like a withered flower, but she lost a lot of weight in a few days.Concubine Tonghuang visited several times, and the more she looked, the more impatient she became: "Sister De, if Yinzhen comes back and sees you like this, can he feel at ease?"

Concubine De's eyes were blank.

Yinti firmly grasped Concubine De's hand, softly shouting: "Emiang..."

Concubine Tong's heart ached.

She continued her efforts: "Wen Mu is so young, are you willing to lose her? There are also Yinzuo and Wenxian, sister De, I know you miss Yinzhen...but you have other children!"

Concubine De was silent.

She stared silently, her thoughts seemed to drift back to when Yinzhen was born.

I knew earlier, I knew earlier...

If he had known earlier, he should have gotten closer to Yinzhen.

From looking at it, I know that Concubine De is on the edge of a dead end.

Concubine Tong pressed her temples and turned around anxiously.

Yinzhen is alive and well.

If something happens to Concubine De, how can Yinzhen who came back from Raksha Kingdom accept this reality?Concubine Tonghuang hesitated to speak, she wanted to help Yinzhen hide it, and she was worried about Concubine De's health. The two thoughts fought in her heart for a long time without any result.

Yinti noticed the abnormality of the imperial concubine.

Maybe the imperial concubine also has problems?Empress Xiaoyiren in her previous life was said to be weak and sick for a long time, and she had already passed away at this time.And the imperial concubine in this life is not only in good health, but also possesses a force recognized by both Huang Mama and Khan Ama, and also cooks delicious food that Eniang, Yin Zuo and Wen Xian can't let go of.

Because she was too young, Yinti, who hadn't tasted it yet, was very curious about it—after all, maybe the imperial concubine knew something inside?Yinti waddled up to the imperial concubine like a duckling, grabbed her leg with two small hands: "Your Majesty, I'm sick, help me."

Concubine Tong Huang looked down.

The eighth princess, who was struggling to speak, looked up at herself, her chubby cheeks and round eyes seemed to remind her of Yinzhen's appearance when she was a child.

Concubine Tong half squatted down.

She carefully hugged the eighth princess, kissed her plump forehead and murmured: "It really looks like... Yinzhen."

Yinti: ...

Who looks like him? ? ?

Wait, now is not the time to argue about this.

Yinti stared at Concubine Tong eagerly, with pikapika shining in his eyes.

Even Tong Huang Guifei couldn't resist the blazing gaze.

She pondered for a long time immersed in such gazes, and finally Concubine Tong Huanggui made up her mind.She walked to Concubine De's bed step by step, and whispered in Concubine De's ear: "Yinzhen, it's fine."

Concubine De didn't move her eyes.

Concubine Tonghuang said again: "All of this is the emperor's plan, I think, I want Yinzhen to travel around to study."

I'm sorry, the emperor, I will give you the blame!

Concubine Tonghuang wanted to tell Concubine De the answer, but she was still unwilling to say it.Her eyes fluttered with guilt, and she stuffed the black pot into Kangxi's arms forcefully: "I will ask the emperor to explain to you later."

Anyway... the emperor will definitely go along with the flow to deal with this matter.

Kangxi, who was far away in Qianqing Palace, sneezed loudly, confirming that Yinzhen is still alive does not mean that the investigation is over.He arranged for local officials to search the area carefully. By the way, Suo Etu, who originally wanted to go back to the capital, did not need to go back.

Suo'etu, who was dizzy from being hit by the scapegoat: ...

Kangxi was satisfied - his son was fine, and by the way, he could let Suo'etu stay outside for a few more months...a few years.Well, even Kangxi has to admit that it is easy to let Yinzhen go out, but it is difficult to let this little bird out of the cage come back.

I don't know how long this kid will stay in Raksha Country?

Yinzhen and his party temporarily settled down in this small town, and everyone was fascinated by the exotic customs and completely different humanistic culture.While teaching the guards who do not know Raksha Mandarin to learn the language, Yinzhen, Fucha Mawu and others also took to the streets, chatting without saying a word, and by the way, learning about the situation in Raksha.

These contents cannot be known in the Qing Dynasty.

If there are people in Fucha Mawu who are tall and big, people should be wary. Yinzhen, who is like a little sparrow chirping and laughing, blends into the local people as simply as a drop of water melts into the sea. The slapstick teenagers got a lot of news from their mouths.

For example, the current emperor Peter I.

Another example is the same emperor Ivan V who just stepped down, and the former regent Princess Sofia.Their stories are enough for everyone to talk about, and there are even songs circulating in the streets. Everyone is telling the bravery of Peter I, the stupidity of Ivan V, and the cruel and terrifying Princess Sophia.

Yinzhen listened with gusto.

Turning around, I complained to Fucha Mawu: "There are two emperors and one regent in a country. No wonder this agreement has been overturned many times. If I say it, it is a miracle that it can be signed."

According to what the people said, Peter I, who had just taken over the throne, did not know whether he would be willing to follow the terms set by Princess Sophia.

Fucha Mawu was dumbfounded: "Can the emperor have two?"

Another guard was also wondering: "Princess can also be in power?"

Yin Zhen was inevitably a little worried.

Fucha Mawu nodded thoughtfully—what he was worried about was how to pass the news back to Qing Dynasty?

Wanting more information, Yinzhen wandered around the whole town.

It is a pity that just like the Qing Dynasty, there is no trend of book culture in the Raksha Kingdom. These are all exclusive to the nobles and landlords and businessmen.

At this time, we have to rely on Fucha Mawu.

He sneaked into the homes of several merchants familiarly, found a lot of books, and found traces of the black market.With his sharp tongue, he got another map from a black market dealer.

You must know that in this era, maps are military strategic items.

It is already a surprise that the black market merchants can provide it. The only thing that makes people a little regretful is that it does not clearly mark the bordering land countries, only the locations of some cities and the areas of some large lakes.

But even so, it was enough for everyone to realize the size of Rakshasa Kingdom.

Fucha Mawu, as an imperial guard, had also seen the globe placed in the East Nuan Pavilion - the area of ​​the Raksha Kingdom drawn on it was not as large as the one on this blueprint.

With these doubts in mind, Yinzhen and his party continued to move forward.

Passing through three or four cities, after wandering in the Raksha country for nearly two months, the conversation, appearance and clothes of the group are almost indistinguishable from those of the Raksha country.

And now they also know the reason for the map change.

No matter whether it was Yinzhen or Fucha Mawu and other guards, no one thought that the Raksha Kingdom would not stop expanding in the past 200 years.

From the small Principality of Moscow to the present, it has annexed many countries in Eurasia, abruptly expanding its territory several times.The reason for the truce with the Qing Dynasty also surfaced. Now the Raksha Kingdom is still at war on the left, constantly attacking and trying to annex Crimea.

What made the population even more thirsty was the reaction of the people.

The 200 years of continuous conquests did not make them feel any fatigue. On the contrary, everyone on this land firmly believed that their country would win and occupy the whole of Eurasia like Genghis Khan.

Just listening to the words made people's blood ignite.

Bannermen who once conquered the Central Plains with their horses put down their weapons and lived a comfortable life, but they never expected that behind the snow-capped mountains, the Raksha people continued to fight and struggle for 200 years.

All this is really unexpected.

Who would not have such a dream?Yin Zhen also couldn't help becoming more interested in this country.He flipped through the newspaper, and some news about Peter I caught Yinzhen's attention.

The young emperor is no better now.

Is it only one year older than the second brother of the prince?Yinzhen couldn't hide his inner curiosity: "Let's... go to Moscow to see!"

"Fourth young master?"

"Don't you think... this is very interesting?" Yinzhen pointed to one of the messages with great interest.

For these newspapers, Fucha Mawu still somewhat disagrees.

The most uncomfortable thing in Rakshasa Kingdom is that all kinds of news about the royal family will be on the news, such as a certain nobleman who is keen on stealing chickens (?), a certain nobleman’s wife has three lovers in one night (??), and some more serious ones, such as about Peter I have to say those things.

To put it simply, in the countryside of Moscow, four or five girls jumped out of Preobrazhenskoye, where Peter I lived temporarily, and said that they were Peter I's first love.

Good guy, Fucha Mawu and the others were taken aback.

Can you use the lace news of the royal family as the headlines of the newspaper?This was simply unimaginable in the Qing Dynasty. Of course, Fucha Mawu and others felt that what was written in the newspaper was all nonsense.Hearing that the fourth elder brother wanted to find out, he couldn't help dissuading him: "Fourth young master, let me tell you that these are all made up."

Yinzhen was in high spirits: "It's okay to go and have a look."

Fucha Mawu couldn't dissuade the fourth elder brother, so he could only go with him. The group took an intercity carriage and traveled across half of the Raksha country to the capital Moscow.

This is a place where the Qing people have never set foot.

You must know that even if you are negotiating with the Qing people, you only stop at the border. As for meeting the emperor, it is only the envoys of the Raksha Kingdom who have an audience with the emperor of the Qing Dynasty. There is no such thing as an envoy of the Qing Dynasty going to Moscow...

Everything along the way here is strange to Yinzhen, and it is also strange to all the guards.There are vast scenery along the way, there are horse-drawn carriages transporting back and forth between cities, people wearing cotton and linen clothes are talking and laughing, and occasionally luxurious and gorgeous carriages drive by.

Unlike the vast grasslands, villages and small towns near the Qing Dynasty, the closer to the west of the Raksha Kingdom, the more prosperous it is.The scale of the town gradually increases, and buildings with high roofs or domes abound.

Especially Moscow.

The laughter in the streets and alleys was not weaker than that in the capital, and the guards who once thought that the Qing Dynasty was the center of the world couldn't help opening their mouths, looking at everything in front of them in shock.

A word came to their minds.

Perhaps the world is wider than they imagined. Is there a more lively and prosperous place than the capital in other places that they don't know?Suddenly some of the guards seemed to understand why Zhijun Wang Yinti was unwilling to come back after going to the Straits of Malacca.

Having seen the outside world, how easy is it to go back?

If the guards were a little dissatisfied at the beginning, and resented that the fourth elder brother did not return to the country in time but went to the remote and poor Raksha country to seek hardship, then now they are full of gratitude in their hearts.

Everyone wants to be an eagle flying in the sky.

No one wants to be the frog that nests at the bottom of the well.

The carriage stopped at the station in Moscow.

Yinzhen and his party did not attract much attention, and after a few months of travel, they were no different from the Tatars of the Raksha Kingdom.Especially Yinzhen, who has a head of curly hair, squeezed in the crowd, unable to tell the difference from the locals.

You can rent a large yard for one ruble.

After arranging the accommodation, Yinzhen happily slipped out.

He wanted to see what Moscow looked like.

Yinzhen stepped lightly on the bricks, bouncing back and forth through the streets and alleys—it's not that Fucha Mawu and the others didn't want to follow, but the experience during this period of time had made them understand how the fourth elder brother was. Ability is much better than they thought.

It is not an easy task to catch the fourth elder brother.

If you spend all this effort, the fourth prince would have come back long ago to ask for help.

Yinzhen was wandering leisurely in the street.

The palm-sized bread is crunchy, sweet and salty, and the fist-sized rye bread smells delicious, but it is hard and hard to bite. There is also a large charcoal-fired meat—well, my god. !No matter how the barbecue is delicious.If you are tired of eating, you can have another glass of kvass. The sweet and sour taste is very appetizing.

Yinzhen ate and shopped all the way.

Although he is 14 years old now, he has a youthful appearance that is only eleven or twelve years old from the Raksha country.

Yinzhen only walked for a while before he was followed by someone.

There are dark alleys and dilapidated slums behind the bustling big cities. During his stroll, Yinzhen found many poor people wrapped in rags and begging in the corners and roadsides.He didn't care about the ill-intentioned person following behind him, and even took two steps to the side of the alley, pretending to be curious and poking his head inside.

A large hand reached out from the darkness.

A pair of sunken eyes were full of greed and malice, staring at Yinzhen's back with excitement.

A little bit……

Just a little closer... and you can push this brat in!Fair and delicate skin, beautiful and immature appearance, definitely, definitely can be sold for a good price!When the time comes, when the time comes...

The bad guys seem to see a bright future recruiting toward them.

He arched his back excitedly, his withered and thin arms wanted to use force—his wrist was grabbed firmly before he exerted force: "Hey! What are you going to do?"

Yinzhen's heart skipped a beat.

Could it be that I had the good luck to meet Peter I directly?
