His Majesty King Louis XIV of France yearned for the distant and mysterious ancient oriental country. In other words, in this era, the entire western upper class was full of illusions about the orient.

In their imagination, there are palaces paved with gold, celadon tea leaves everywhere, a dazzling array of gemstones and jade, the life of the people is orderly, and the emperor lives a life of luxury beyond their imagination.

If they knew that Emperor Kangxi was still worrying about the bottom of the treasury and his family had no money in the past two years, their fantasies about the East would probably burst like a bubble.

In any case, in the current western upper class society, the distant oriental ancient country is still a rich, sacred and happy country. If there is no accident, when Hong Ruohan returns to France, they will set off a new round of upsurge.

Louis XIV is not only an excellent emperor, he is also as passionate about science as Kangxi. In addition, he likes all kinds of art, because he has money, he spends money when he encounters problems, and buys what he likes Buying, because of the ability to make money, Paris has been built into a city with a strong artistic atmosphere.

The rich Sun King's love for China is beyond imagination, celadon vases, tea, silk, clothing... as long as they can be brought to the West by businessmen, Louis XIV can find a way to get things into the Palace of Versailles.

In the 12th year of Shunzhi, the Dutch envoys visited the capital, and an accompanying artist drew down what he saw and heard along the way. After returning to Europe, his paintings caught fire. Louis XIV saw his paintings, It started spending money like crazy again, and built a Treiannon Porcelain Palace directly in the Palace of Versailles to house collections from the East.

Since the previous dynasty, there have been missionaries going back and forth between the East and the West. After the sea ban was lifted a few years ago, the coastal cities prospered, and Westerners can often be seen.

According to those merchants, Emperor Kangxi was an excellent ruler. He loved science, astronomy, and possessed extraordinary artistic talent. When Louis XIV heard it, he realized that the mysterious Chinese emperor had as many advantages as him. China is more yearning.

The great Sun King was obsessed with oriental culture and had been dreaming about it for many years. He finally decided to write a letter to Emperor Kangxi. Even if they couldn't see each other, it would be nice to be able to communicate through letter paper.

Fortunately, Kangxi didn't know that Louis XIV was an emperor who was keen to spend money on affairs. If he knew, he would probably send carts and carts of blue and white porcelain in exchange for money. The Qing Dynasty did not lack porcelain, but he only lacked money.

In the classroom of the school in the suburbs of Beijing, the master in charge of the class got the news in advance that the audience of this class was Westerners, and everyone from the teacher to the students was as excited as if they had been beaten with chicken blood.

They are used to seeing missionaries who are arrogant in the capital, and now they have the opportunity to kill their prestige, of course they are very excited.

They didn't care if the missionaries who came today were missionaries they had seen before, anyway, those foreigners were all similar in appearance, and it made no difference to them who came here.

The missionaries who came all the way from France didn't know that their predecessors had a bad reputation in the capital. Seeing that the teachers and students who were listening to the lectures were full of energy, they thought they were specially welcomed, and they were flattered and even sat upright.

Then, in the next hour, Yin Qi heard exclamations all over his ears.

"There is such a flat piece of glass here."

"These bottles must have been kissed by God, look at their bottlenecks, how smooth and smooth."

"Put water and other substances in glass bottles, and the changes inside can be clearly observed. The craftsmanship here is amazing."

"By God, can our country build such an instrument?"

……

The little guy kept his mission in mind, imitated the expressions of the missionaries, and vividly told the people around him what they said. The prince originally wanted him not to be so dedicated. Those words don’t need to be translated, just look at the expressions of the missionaries. Guessing the shock in their hearts, knowing that today's trip was not in vain is enough.

But seeing the little guy talking happily, coming out for a trip is not like work, but more like treating this matter as a game. The expressions on his face are changing and changing, which is very fun, and he looks much more attractive than the faces of those missionaries. Simply let him continue talking.

His baby bump is cute, how can there be such a cute child in the world.

He must be well-raised.

Today's itinerary is only for the schools in the suburbs of Beijing. When the missionaries go back to rest for a day, tomorrow's job is to show them around the city of Beijing. Don't care if you can understand it. You can go to teahouses and restaurants, and you can also visit the shops on the street. Paris Some things are basically available in Beijing, and things that Paris does not have are also available in Beijing.

See how good they are here, and promote it when you go back, hello, hello, everyone, hahahaha.

The missionaries have no objection to the itinerary. If it is not too rude, they even want to study in the school here. The missionaries from afar basically have two identities: Jesuit priests and academicians of the Academy of Sciences. They come here The dissemination of science is good for accepting unknown knowledge. The teachers here know a lot of knowledge that they don't understand, and they are willing to stay and learn.

In their country, the cost of glass is very expensive. The set of instruments they saw could even buy a large piece of land in Paris.

The mysterious ancient oriental country did not disappoint them.

The missionaries from France knew a lot. Kangxi arranged mathematics, physics, astronomy, foreign language and other courses for himself and his elder brothers, making the best use of everything and never wasting a single available person.

The emperor was happy, but not all the elder brothers were happy, especially the fifth child. Every time he went to school, he felt like he was going to be tortured. Fortunately, the missionary class was not attended every day, otherwise he might hide in the Palace of Compassion and Peace.

After the summer, Kangxi brought his family to Changchun Garden to escape the summer heat. Yinqi was just happy for two days when he found that his family Khan Ama brought those missionaries to Changchun Garden, and couldn't help expressing himself dissatisfaction.

"Fifth Brother, don't be afraid. If you can't learn it, don't learn it. Let's go write." Sitting on the blanket, Yin Qi shook Yin Qi who was lying on the ground, trying to cheer him up.

What's the use of being dissatisfied, no matter how dissatisfied he is, he still has to attend the lessons he should.

To put it in a low voice, the two of them skipped class, and the princes also studied in Changchun Garden, but unlike in the palace, they were separated from the scholars in their own small courtyard, and only in the afternoon would they be with them. The time spent listening to the missionary's lectures with Jahan Amma.

Except for the fifth brother, the brothers of the emperor are very interested in foreign languages, especially the third child, who is simply a miniature version of Kangxi. After learning a foreign language, he is also learning mathematics and astronomy. He is even messing with geometry these days study.

Every day when Yin Qi heard their third brother shaking his head and saying words he had never heard before, he felt like his head was going to explode.

Yaoshou is Yaoshou, they have never even heard of that thing.

The afternoon class is to be attended with Khan Ama, he doesn’t have the guts to skip class, and only the Bachelor Attendant is by his side in the morning, if that’s the case, then what are you waiting for, just run away.

The fifth elder brother is not willing to study, and the ninth elder brother is not willing to study either.

The Confucian classics are too difficult for Yin Qi, who was born in the system. When he practiced calligraphy, Guangqiu Tong would yell beside him in various ways. The same is full of mosquito coils.

He can't disturb his younger brothers' studies. The sixth brother, seventh brother and eighth brother are all well-behaved boys, and they will be spanked when they go to play with the prince's brother. After searching around, he found that only the fifth brother can take him to skip class.

He couldn't understand those "Zhi Hu Zhe Ye", and neither could Fifth Brother. When brothers and sisters in trouble got together, they sneaked away without even discussing decisively.

There are more places to play in Changchun Garden than in the Forbidden City. Their family, Khan Ama, likes "the hibiscus comes out of clear water, and it is naturally carved." The style of Changchun Garden is so simple that it cannot be more simple. There are many old trees and vines that have grown for an unknown number of years, and elk and white cranes can be seen playing in the forest from time to time. They even saw a peacock with its tail on the day they first came.

There is no lake in the Forbidden City, and the Changchun Garden has many springs and brooks. The people who built the garden put all their efforts into pleasing their family, Khan Ama, and the scenery inside is very good.

Yinqi was not interested in writing, nor did he want to take this little guy who couldn't write well to practice calligraphy, so he lay on the ground thinking for a while, then turned his head and proposed to take him to the woods to hunt bamboo chickens.

His own handwriting is not good-looking, and Yinqi's handwriting is even worse than his handwriting. This little guy's bad handwriting is his own problem, and he definitely didn't teach him to make it bad. He won't take the blame.

Brothers all have their own private courtyards in Changchun Garden. In order to facilitate their study, the concubines’ courtyards are deliberately kept far away from them, which is just convenient for children who don’t like to study to skip classes.

Yin Qi sneaked back to his small courtyard to take the bow and arrow, and gestured to his younger brother who was hiding behind the tree, and the two of them rushed into the forest one after the other.

The garden is very quiet in the morning, the emperor is dealing with government affairs, the princes are studying hard, the concubines go back to catch up on sleep after getting up early for a stroll, the court ladies and eunuchs are not going out in the courtyard, the sun is gradually coming up, even though the Changchun Garden is much cooler than the Forbidden City, No one likes basking in the sun.

Yin Qi was bouncing around in the woods, Guangqiu Tong was also very happy, typing the code to give him a soundtrack, [Little elder brother picking mushrooms ~ carrying a big basket ~ bare feet early in the morning ~ walking all over the mountains and rivers hill~]

The little elder brother doesn't have a big basket, but he has a hat. Mushrooms in the forest are not necessarily safe. Picking mushrooms is not as good as picking flowers. If you pick too many, you can use them to make a wreath for my mother.

One for Er Niang, one for Niu Hulu Er Niang, one for Yi Er Niang, and one for Suilan. If there are any left, he can wear a garland to play with himself.

The little guy walked into the woods along the flowers, and filled his hat in a short while. Yin Qi just drew his bow, and saw his younger brother walking all the way in, and hurriedly shouted, "Xiao Jiu, come here, don't run too far."

There are elks in the woods, and he can't fight large animals like elks yet. My brother may be in danger if he goes too far, so he must stay under his nose at all times.

I heard that the prince's second brother shot deer at the age of five. He didn't think it was a big deal. When he started to learn archery, he realized that shooting deer was not that simple. When the second brother was five years old, he definitely couldn't shoot deer. It must be Khan Ama who quietly let others He shot it and said it was shot by the second brother.

He, the future Batulu, couldn't even hit the shot. The second brother didn't look as strong as him, so how could he be stronger than him.

Children love adventure games, especially when there is a younger brother who needs his protection by his side. Bow and archery is a sense of accomplishment. The two little elder brothers find the traces of bamboo chickens and play hand in hand.

In remote Selengosk, territorial negotiations are in full swing.

The mission of the Qing Dynasty was fighting with the Russian mission. At the negotiating table, the two parties were clearly divided. The representatives of the two sides were fighting with each other, and no one was willing to make concessions on major matters related to the country.

Suo'etu's words are very straightforward. The east of Lake Baikal, including Nerchinsk and Yaksa, the upper and lower parts of the Heilongjiang River, and the rivers and streams that pass through this river are all the territory of the Qing Dynasty, and there is nothing less.

The Russian envoys were very dissatisfied with Suo'etu's attitude, and even more dissatisfied with Suo'etu's words, but now that the strength of the two sides is very different, they can only endure it no matter how dissatisfied they are.

When the negotiating mission of the Qing Dynasty passed by the General’s Mansion in Heilongjiang, Sa Busu directly escorted the mission with an army of [-]. As a general who had fought with the Russians before, the old general sat on the negotiating table with a murderous look. Even if he doesn't speak, as long as he sits there, the Russians will not dare to act rashly.

Tong Guowei and others racked their brains to give Suo'etu an idea. Before they came, the emperor said, no matter what, the territory cannot be lost. The northeast is their hometown full of people. If the old man stabbed the back of the hometown, they I feel uneasy staying in the Central Plains.

The missionary who came to negotiate with him was Portuguese Xu Risheng. This missionary came to the capital in the 11th year of Kangxi. Since then, he has been serving as Nan Huairen's deputy in Qin Tianjian. Compared with other people, Kangxi trusted him to arrange for Qin Tianjian the two missionaries.

Before those colleagues who were smacking inside and out were beaten and sent back to the country, even if Xu Risheng had some serious thoughts at the beginning, he dared not show the slightest now, not to mention that they have a prince who can understand Russian here, as long as his reaction If it is not right at all, it is possible to end up in the same fate as those colleagues before.

The sea is a place where people cannibalize. They have already experienced a near-death experience to successfully come to the east. Those people were beaten with boards. No one is willing to treat their injuries. They may die. Without a terrible storm, he would have been seriously injured and died on board.

His Majesty the Emperor said that he was sending them back to the country, but in fact he did not leave them a way to survive. The fate of being found out for their petty tricks was so terrible. Unless he died, he would not sneak into contact with the Russians.

As far as he knows, the situation in Russia has become chaotic. Princess Sophia launched a coup five years ago to make the demented half-brother Ivan V the first tsar, and the ten-year-old half-brother Peter I as the first czar. The second tsar took power by himself, and now Peter was about to seize power, and Princess Sophia was also in dire straits.

The main enemy of Russia is not the Qing Dynasty, but the Western countries. The situation in Moscow is unstable, and Sophia can't wait to solve the problem through negotiations. The envoy of this negotiation is his favorite minister Fyodor Golovin.

At the negotiating table, the Portuguese missionary who had been in the Qing Dynasty for more than ten years stated righteously, "It is the will of His Majesty the Emperor of the Qing Empire that all the land east of Lake Baikal belongs to the Qing Empire, because your side has repeatedly offended , His Majesty the Emperor asks you to give up Selengosk and Nerchinsk, and to return Ghentpur, the leader of the Daurs who defected."

All the land east of Lake Baikal?Do you want to give up Zelengsk and Nerchensk (Nerchinsk)?

The Russian envoy on the opposite side wanted to lift the table, but the only reason left told them not to do it, so they could only blushed and roared thickly, "Impossible! Our Russian Empire is the orthodox Roman Empire! The Romanov family belongs to the Russian Empire. Ruler! Those lands are ours!"

After listening to the other party's roar, Suo'etu slapped the table louder than him, "What's wrong with the Roman Empire, our Bogda Khan is still the successor of Genghis Khan, do you remember how big the four Khanates were? Do you remember who is the ruler of Moscow? If you want to return Moscow to us, just say it, I thank you all on behalf of Bogda Khan!"

What are you shouting for? ! !

It's just a negotiation, calm down, is this louder than anyone now? ! !

Speak well, it’s okay to talk about the glory of your ancestors, if you really want to talk about seniority, who are you?

If they are willing to give Moscow to them, they don't mind accepting it, don't think he is talking big, as long as he dares to give it to him, he dares to accept it!

Now Manmeng is a family, their emperor conquered all the tribes of Mongolia, it is no problem to borrow the name of Genghis Khan, now where is it now, if I really want to talk about it, whose ancestors did not have a few decent people?

What's wrong with the Roman Empire, their emperor is still the orthodox heir of Iskandar, is it because their Macedonian Empire is not enough?

Suo'etu slapped the table and yelled back, killing the envoys on the other side, but they lacked confidence and couldn't quarrel. They pointed tremblingly at the guy on the other side who was showing off their might, and turned and left the scene angrily after shaking for a while.

When I came here, I thought that bringing 2000 people was enough, but the other side was really unreasonable. They actually came to escort the mission with [-] soldiers. Are they here to fight or to negotiate?

Suo'etu stared at the old man's back, swearing, turned around to drink tea, and left as soon as he left. Anyway, they are not the ones who are pressed for time, so they leave now and see who comes back in a hurry.

Before going out, the crown prince specially took him to tell him for a long time, don’t worry that the stolen land can’t be managed, first confirm it in the contract, and then send people to manage it slowly, otherwise it can be managed in the future but there will be no land, thanks to them ah!
