Bloody Heart

Ivan Braginsky was born in the Middle Ages when the Franco-Francois/Crafts had just separated.His birth name was Kiev/Ros, given to him by his creators, and that has been his name ever since.At that time, people's horizons were very small, and the Near East was considered a remote place, and this ignorant child lived here. The overly complicated power struggles in the courts of Western/Europe and the rampant killings on the Central/European plains, temporarily I haven't even found this weak child who is like a piece of white paper.So he too is alone.

He stood on the periphery of those who were busy annexing, conquering and dividing, and for many years he had not made a sound.So Francis and the others paid no attention to him, and based on the news they heard, they vaguely outlined that the child had platinum-blonde hair.

Platinum?Francis imagined it for a while, and waved his hand, a newly born small country, it doesn't matter.So he and his neighbors went back to their busy business.

After nearly a century, something about Ivan reached Francis and the others.The fact that he took all his family members to jump into the D/Nie/Bo/ river to be baptized once became a topic of amazement from the wives at the tea party.Ivan originally thought that this would make these neighbors pay more attention to him, but a few delicate sighs drifted across the rivers and mountains to him, leaving only a little lingering sound blown away in the wind.The wind blows through Ivan's short platinum hair, and nothing else.

The Middle Ages in Europe is still going on, and has ushered in its heyday.The wise monarch appeared in various places almost at the same time, the heart of the kingdom beat more powerfully, the knights marched to the holy land one after another, and the blood-stained battle flags fluttered under the exotic sunset.Under the impassioned war song, there are diseases, bloodshed and death brought about by war.And Mo/S/Koda Duchy was established at this time.Ivan's family also moved to this new city, and it has been here for a long time.

At this time, he seemed to be used to standing on the periphery of Europa, but he still had some expectations in his heart.

Soon this matter was out of his choice, and the iron cavalry of aliens swept across his home, and he was unquestionably separated from the west by the golden tent on horseback.He hated this alien from the east for 200 years, and he still remembered when many family members had no choice but to accept it.

"My name is the Principality of Moscow, not the Kipchak Khanate!" On the outside, at the age of thirteen or fourteen, he was still on the dividing line between children and teenagers, with a crisp voice that was blown to the ground by the wind everywhere.The foreigner finally showed a frightened expression, and finally fell off his horse under the light of the sword honed for 200 years.

After driving away the alien rulers, Ivan still wants to join the West.He watched with joy as the last princess stepped down from the carriage on slender feet, walked towards him gracefully, and tied the cloak embroidered with double-headed eagles for him gently and solemnly.Excitement roared in the boy's chest, perhaps it could be called jumping for joy. "I am the third Rome," he murmured, stroking the cloak with his hand, "and will be forever. I will inherit Sophia's hometown and become the pillar of the West."

But again, things backfired.Roma gave him Sophia not as a gift of acceptance, but simply in exchange for a wall.Everyone is afraid of Ottoman Turkey/Turkey with strong ships and guns. Ivan, who lives in the east, should finally play a role at this time to resist the attack for them.After Ivan knew the truth, for the first time in astonishment, he felt a little disheartened.

But Sophia said to him: "Since you are afraid of being bullied but have no friends, then turn yourself into a big man who can't be bullied by others." Ivan seemed to be awakened, and he began to turn his attention to The vast and deserted East.

That alien disappeared for a while, and it was hard to even find him on the Eastern Grassland, but it was hard to guarantee that he would not come back.And once he came back, Ivan, who had neither mountains nor rivers, would be powerless to resist him.So the young man picked up the knife, and at this time when he was still safe and able to protect himself, he wanted to turn everything in sight into his kingdom.

Sophia is right, Ivan thought, as long as it is wide enough, it will not feel insecure and dissatisfied.

The day has come when every day, every year is at war.Sometimes he is a resister, later more often he is an invader.His home was getting bigger and bigger. He stood in the middle of the vast wilderness between wars. The wind blowing across his face was so silent that he really felt a sense of security.Indeed, no one came to bully him anymore.All he could see was his land, and there was no one else.The boy dropped the knife and sat on the ground exhausted.

But he didn't know that at this time, the brilliance of literature and art rose from Feliciano's palm, shining on the land of Europe.That light was like a new sun, dispelling the darkness of medieval war and bloodshed.The meaning of God was reinterpreted, the 33-year-old Christ returned to the smiling face of a baby, and the rosy radiance began to appear on the cheeks of the Virgin Mary in black—humanity was reawakened.Ivan didn't know any of this.He separated himself from them with the vast land he conquered from east to west.He only knew that Ivan IV was crowned in the Kremlin, and the power of the "tsar" covered the entire land of Russia.

Everything in Europa is rapidly changing from old to new, but time seems to be taking a particularly leisurely pace on Ivan. 1/5/⑥/4 is destined to be an extraordinary year in Feliciano's family. One death marks the end of the Renaissance and the beginning of modern science.Later, Arthur Kirkland exchanged the bloodless revolution for the disintegration of the feudal system, which he regarded as the glory of the following centuries.The opening of new sea routes connected the divided civilizations, and Antonio and his Iberian brothers set sail to write ocean poetry.But the people in the east are still immersed in the historical cycle of dynasty rotation, and Ivan is also deeply immersed in the fantasy of the Middle Ages along with the entire east.

Until he met the kid named Peter.

At that time, the little prince Peter had to raise his arms to catch/hold Ivan's hand. He walked beside Ivan, raised his head and asked him: "The tsar/tsar/Russia/country, do you really think you are the best in the world?" The best country?"

Ivan didn't answer him, so little Peter continued on his own: "I heard that some countries in Western/Europe are better than us, but the priests say that they live surrounded by the devil. Which one is true? Woolen cloth?"

"I don't know either." Ivan calmly perfunctory, his eyes falling on the ground in front of him.The stone-paved road is golden under the setting sun, dazzling people's eyes.

"What a disappointment. I'd better go and see for myself, then."

"Um, okay."

Seemingly sensing Ivan's impatience, the little prince did not continue to pester him.The two walked quietly for a while, and the clear voice of the child suddenly sounded from Ivan's left side: "I plan to take 50 palace guards and travel to West/Europe. If West/Europe is really better than us, I just learned what I saw, and I learned everything from scratch.”

Ivan chuckled.The little prince stopped where he was, and Ivan had to stop with him. "Tsar/Emperor/Russia," the little boy looked up at the boy beside him, his big dark eyes filled with determination, "Will you come with me then?"

"Well, I'll go with you." Ivan smiled, "but you can't dawdle now. It's getting dark."

"Well, then it's settled." The child said happily, taking brisk steps.The setting sun illuminated the sky brilliantly, and the brilliance blinded them all.The shadows of Ivan and Little Peter dragged on the ground for a long time. It was the back view of a half-grown boy and a child holding hands.

In the second year after Little Peter made such an ambitious wish, his father, Tsar Alexei, died of illness, and his eldest son, who soon ascended the throne, also died of illness, leaving only two boys in the huge palace.The eldest relatives behind them suddenly started to move stupidly/stupidly/desire/moving, and the calm appearance in the palace was quickly torn apart.

Peter's older brother, Prince Ivan, was born with a handicap, but was therefore strongly supported by his power-hungry older sister, Sofia.Sophia wins over a group of generals of the shooting army, and with the military power in her hands, Peter's mother, Empress Dowager Naryshkina, has no power to parry.Many of the empress dowager's cronies and even family members became the dead/souls of the shooting army. Before the young Peter fully understood the world, he lived in fear day and night.The Tsar/Emperor/Russia/Nation did not intend to intervene in the royal struggle for power. He was very skillful not to offend both sides, but after seeing the trembling Peter, he finally moved some compassion.

After the situation was basically stable and Sophia won a big victory, Ivan proposed to the empress dowager to send Peter to the outskirts of Moscow, away from court disputes.The empress dowager had no choice but to accept the proposal, and hastily left Moscow with her son.However, Princess Sophia mistook this move as a sign of Ivan's support for her. From then on, she began to throw olive branches at Ivan. Ivan thought that he would stay in the court anyway, and there was no harm in building a good relationship with the real power holder. , so he accepted it generously.

In his spare time, he sent people to pay more attention to Peter, who was "exiled", and learned that he was immersed in war games all day long.As time went by, Peter's game became more and more out of control, and Ivan smelled something unusual from the documents applying for regular weapons and establishment.Sophia was by his side at that time, seeing Peter's request, she said happily: "Oh, this can't be better, just let this kid play every day! Hurry up, approve all his requests, don't let him Thinking about going back to Mo/S/Ko!"

Ivan couldn't help but glanced at Princess Sophia, but the princess didn't understand what he meant and was still immersed in complacency.So Ivan didn't intend to say more, and did as the princess said.Soon, weapons, personnel and instructors were neatly placed in front of Peter, led by Ivan.

"Ivan!" Peter was delighted to see his former friends in Moscow. "It's really rare to see you now. How is everything in Moscow?"

"All is well, Your Majesty the Tsar," replied Ivan, dismounting from his horse.When Peter was about to pass him to inspect his equipment and personnel, Ivan grabbed his arm, "Your Majesty the Tsar, are you still planning to return to Moscow?"

Peter froze for a moment as if frightened, and withdrew his arm from Ivan's hand. "I'll go back," the childish flying jump on his face disappeared, "I will definitely go back."

His promise was quickly fulfilled.He's back in Mo/S/Ko, and sister Sophia is feeling more and more stressed.Not only because Peter's boy scouts are becoming less and less like a game, but also because she sees more and more things in this younger brother that she doesn't have.

Sofia panicked, and Ivan noticed.So in the middle of the night, a sharp alarm sounded suddenly, and unbelievable news came - the shooting army took up arms!

Tsar Peter, who was in a dream, was awakened by a loud "bang". He jumped up from the bed in a hurry, and saw Ivan rushing in. "Hurry up," the fire in the wind lantern in Ivan's hand swayed uncontrollably, making the expression on his face flicker, "The shooting army is in trouble, the palace is not safe!"

Before Peter could react, he subconsciously shouted while putting on his clothes, "Then what shall we do?"

"Anyway, find a place to take refuge first, and I can escort you! Come on." Before he finished speaking, Ivan grabbed his hand and rushed out of the bedroom, dragging the unbuttoned boy.He could feel Peter's palms sweating profusely, his skin was icy cold, and the sound of breathing behind him was also very rapid and tense.Ivan held his hand tightly, and the two escaped through the side door of the palace overnight.

The moment he helped Peter onto the horse, Ivan felt his legs tremble.He knew what the boy on the horse was thinking—it was all too similar for him not to be reminded of Sophia's massacre of his mother's cronies nine years ago.The same shooting army, the same conflict that would happen at an unknown time, blood and violence filled his brain, and the fear that had not harassed Peter for many years wrapped him tightly again tonight——

Ivan turned on his horse behind him, firmly clasped the boy's waist with his strong arms, grabbed the reins and ran towards the Holy Trinity Church.At a very close distance, he heard the boy in front of him gradually calm down his breathing.

No one slept soundly that night.The news of the shooting army's rebellion spread quickly, and a large number of Peter's supporters flocked to the Holy Trinity Church, and then Sophia's messenger came to clarify that the rebellion news was false, and the two sides had a dispute in the church.Peter sat on a pew at the end of the church, watching.

Suddenly, someone in the crowd said: "Here comes the Patriarch!" Only then did Peter stand up from his chair.

Like Moses parting the Red Sea, the Patriarch of Moscow passed through the crowd and came to Peter.Peter asked, "What news do you bring?"

The patriarch said: "The princess sent me to persuade you to go back."

There was a commotion in the crowd, both from the Shooting Army and Peter's supporters.Peter waved them all to silence, and asked again, "Okay, I see. It was a misunderstanding tonight. So, is there anything else you want to tell me?"

In the silence of the crowd, the patriarch took a step back and said loudly under the eyes of everyone: "Your Majesty the Tsar, you are the emperor of all Russia/Russia!"

No one in the church spoke this time.Ivan stood beside Peter, the closest to him, and he saw the vine-like things growing wildly in the eyes of the black-haired boy after the Patriarch expressed his allegiance to Peter.

It was worth the push, he thought quietly in his heart.

The patriarch's statement caused many nobles/nobles to change their positions, and Peter's accumulated prestige finally reached the point of qualitative change, allowing him to overshadow Sophia in an instant.Before long, Sophia, who had lost her power, entered the monastery and stayed away from the court.

After taking power, Peter used the newly built navy to win the victory over Turkey/Turkey/Turkey, in exchange for the attention of the West that Ivan had been pursuing for a long time.Later, he really organized a study group to go to West/Europe to learn from teachers.Before leaving this time, he entrusted Ivan with many matters in the country, without mentioning him to follow him at all—probably he no longer remembered the conversation he had with Ivan when he was young.

Peter's expedition was very successful, as he expected, West/Europe was far better than the closed Russia/country.He returned to his hometown full of knowledge and thinking, but what greeted him was bloody air.Sophia still couldn't give up her desire for power in the monastery. This time she really provoked the shooting army's rebellion; When he arrived, the head of the rebel leader had been nailed to the tip of a spear by Ivan for public display.

"Tsar Peter is not dead, he returned from West/Europe today," Peter stepped on the steps of the palace with wet blood. Those who question his decrees and decisions are tantamount to betraying Russia/Russia!"

Peter raised his head, and he saw Ivan's eyes like the waves of the purple Ne/va/river, in which he saw the light like a sword, the color of the gods like the sun and the moon, the fiery desire of the platinum-gold boy, directly piercing through layers of crowds. into his heart.He read from it that Ivan, who had not been able to get rid of his youthful form for centuries, was eager to become stronger, and he suddenly realized that perhaps Ivan chose him precisely because he had seen hope in him.

——"If West/Europe is really better than us, I will learn what I see and learn everything from scratch."

- "Okay, I'll go with you."

Only then did Tsar Peter realize what he had expected of his country when he was a child, and what his country had promised him.

■

Tsar Peter really applied what he learned in Western/Europe to the reality of Russia. He set up schools and handicraft workshops, asked people to lose their beards, and asked the children of nobles/family who have no inheritance rights to rely on learning other things. To find a way out, to ask all the nobles/nobles to stop being pampered and to serve the country for the rest of their lives by means of military service... One after another government order was issued like a marching army, as if they were proving something to someone, and they seemed to be desperately pursuing something.

Ivan is the most loyal servant behind him, but also the most indomitable pioneer.He showed the utmost support and submission in the face of these tough measures, because he clearly saw hope in Peter, and the desire to be strong was overwhelming.This desire drives the blood in his whole body to flow hotly, as if carrying inexhaustible energy, he runs wildly day and night, racing against the time lost in the past many years.

During that time, he followed Peter with an almost fanatical enthusiasm to transform the country.Deep down in his heart, he already believed that this was his Messiah, the strong and courageous bronze knight, who would lead him out of the mud and toward the light.In the later days, Ivan recalled and found that there was never any time when he was more passionate than when he was by Peter's side.At that time, the arrogance of leading the country, the determination to transform everything, destroy the old and establish the new, can never be compared at any time in my later life.That was the moment when his blood was the hottest, and it was the era when he would do anything for an ideal.

Peter's son Alexei, as a typical example of domestic opposition to reforms, defected to Austria as the Crown Prince in an attempt to terminate the implementation of reforms in the form of rebellion.

At the moment when he was facing his final fate, the crown prince pointed to the young man with platinum short hair, and complained in despair - "You are all crazy! You are all crazy! Ivan, I am his son, he is obsessed with the idea that he would agree to you to kill me!" I!"

Ivan only responded to his accusation with a dismissive chuckle, and there was no warmth in his beautiful purple eyes. "It's not that I want to kill you, His Royal Highness. It's just that you can't see clearly. The new Russia has to eliminate the old one."

Alexei covered his eyes. "You're not going to make it. Absolutely not," he murmured.

■

Alexei's curse was not fulfilled until Peter's death.Everything went perfectly, and when Peter left, Ivan had grown from a boy and a half to a young man.Those in Western/Europe who were still ignoring Ivan Braginsky consciously or unintentionally when Peter was born, there is no one who does not recognize this name today.

In the winter when Peter was 52 years old, Mo/S/Ko was trapped in a thick night, and the life of the Tsar, after decades of hard work with superhuman energy, finally came to an end like a candle on a table.Before leaving, he was finally able to say without regret: "Tsar/Emperor/Russia, I did everything I could for you while I was alive."

And Ivan kissed the old man's forehead lightly, and said, "I believe that you are the light God gave me."

So in February 1/7/2/5, Tsar Peter fell into eternal sleep in the city named after him.On the day of the funeral, Ivan felt that the blazing heat in his chest seemed to tear his heart apart in the icy cold wind, and the bitter wind made the corners of his eyes hurt.

Proud steed, where are you going?

Where will you stop?

ah!Mighty and mighty King of Destiny,

So you are at the bottom of the abyss,

At the top of the peak, use the iron rope to stir up Russia/Russia to jump up!
