After I was reborn, I became a plug-in for the country

Suo'etu entered the hall, knelt down to pay his respects, and then squinted at Mingzhu next to him, with undisguised suspicion in his eyes.

They have been hostile to each other for too long, and they can't help but suspect that the other party is plotting a conspiracy.

Mingzhu let him look at her, her open and frank appearance was completely confident.

Kangxi ordered Suo'etu to get up and asked if there was anything unusual about the recent Russian envoy.

"Returning to the emperor, the emissary has been hanging shoulder to shoulder with people from Junggar recently, and it seems that they have a close relationship." Suo'etu replied respectfully.

After Hu Jixian's report came up, he didn't take it seriously at first, but he didn't expect to be asked about it just today.Suo'etu was very happy for a while, but fortunately he still remembered it in his heart.

Kangxi lowered his eyes: "Did he always take the opportunity to run to the Xiaoqiying camp in the past few days?"

Suo'etu carefully recalled where he had been with the messenger in the past few days.

Thinking about it now, something was really wrong. The foreigner didn't eat the banquet he had arranged, and wanted to run to the military camp when he had nothing to do. When chatting, he always wanted to ask him about the military system.

Thinking about it this way, the foreigner did have the intention of plotting something wrong.

Suo'etu said very bluntly: "Your Majesty is wise, that foreigner has evil intentions, I'm afraid they didn't come to form an alliance with us."

Kangxi didn't express much about his conclusion, just nodded, thought for a moment, and then ordered Liang Jiugong: "Call Zhang Ying and Xiong Cilu back to me."

Liang Jiugong received the decree and asked the little eunuch to run errands again.

The little eunuch wrinkled his face like a bitter gourd: "Master, why didn't the emperor give orders just now?"

Now the sun is shining outside, and the Qianqing Palace is far away from the Meridian Gate, so running down this trip can make people exhausted.

The fly whisk in Liang Jiugong's hand slapped his apprentice mercilessly: "What are you talking about, you dare to shirk the emperor's affairs, so I don't want my head!"

The little eunuch flinched from being whipped, and didn't dare to cry out the pain, so he ran towards the Meridian Gate.

All the way tired wheezing and sweating profusely.Fortunately, his legs and feet were also fast, and he finally stopped Zhang Ying and the others at the Meridian Gate.

It was also a coincidence that Xiong Cilu, Zhang Ying, and Tang Bin hadn't left the Meridian Gate yet, and they were gathering to discuss Yinreng's recent study situation.

The guards at Meridian Gate listened for free for a while, feeling very helpless.A few elders, did you go home and discuss it?The sun is so strong outside, who will be to blame if you faint in front of the Meridian Gate after a while due to heat stroke.

But they still have to be on duty, no one dares to go up to persuade them right now.

Zhang Ying listened to Xiong Cilu's recitation of Yinreng's handling of the recent drought.Tang Bin also said that judging from Yinreng's performance in class, "24 History" seems to have been familiar with it a long time ago.A few of them discussed whether they should ask Kangxi for an order again, and some courses could be appropriately reduced, so that Yinfeng could start to get acquainted with some political affairs.

The little eunuch swallowed a few times dryly, and said after a little relief: "The emperor invites some adults to go back."

Zhang Ying was about to ask what was the matter, but saw that the little eunuch was too tired to stand up, so he had no choice but to give up.Several people walked back against the sun again.

When we arrived at the Qianqing Palace, we knelt down to ask for peace, and Mingzhu briefly explained the matter.

Although Zhang Ying was old, but his mind was active, he soon understood why Kangxi was worried.

After a brief draft, he said: "Your Majesty, the old minister thinks it's better to get rid of this foreign envoy as soon as possible."

Let him hang around in the capital again, I am afraid that he will be able to figure out the defense of the capital.

Kangxi didn't say yes or no, but raised his eyebrows and glanced at Zhang Ying.

For what reason?

Zhang Ying said earnestly: "Your Majesty, when the envoy met for the first time, he said that he would like to form an alliance with us on behalf of the Tsar and the Qing Dynasty, and watch and help each other. Why don't the emperor agree to this matter and sign the letter of credence, so that the envoy can be sent back to China as soon as possible?" .”

The implication is that no matter what kind of god or Buddha he is, send him away first.This is also the easiest way.

Tang Bin didn't quite agree with this remark, and denied, "It's not right, since the founding of the Qing Dynasty, there has never been an allied country..."

The surrounding small countries have always been attached to the Qing Dynasty, and this covenant country allows him to sit on an equal footing with the Qing Dynasty.

Xiong Cilu rolled his eyes, but did not express his opinion.

He just remembered that his student, His Highness the Crown Prince, had drawn a map when he was distracted in class.At first he thought it was a map of the Qing Dynasty, but he didn't want to see the land area of ​​the surrounding small countries on it.On the top of this map, the largest piece is written on this Russia.

He was a little skeptical, would His Royal Highness know what kind of country this Russia is?

Kangxi was a little hesitant, the Qing Dynasty did not have any covenant countries.This end is open, and there will be more in the future, I'm afraid it won't end well.

Xiong Cilu was also very vague in his response, "At the end of the day, we don't know what Russia's national strength is. If it is stronger than the Qing Dynasty, I'm afraid we really have to think about it..."

It's just that as soon as this sentence was finished, the hall fell silent for a moment.

It is precisely because they do not know what kind of country Russia is that they are so worried.

After a while of silence, Suo'etu suddenly had an idea and said, "Your Majesty, apart from Nan Huairen who was expelled from the capital earlier, there should be a foreign missionary in the Qin Tianjian. Why don't you call him and ask him?" Do you know this Tsarist Russia?"

After listening to the analysis of several people, Kangxi also felt that the most important thing now is to know oneself and the enemy, and was about to nod in agreement, but Mingzhu suddenly said seriously: "I think that no matter how powerful Russia is, the emperor should not sign this covenant of credentials."

"Why?" Tang Bin asked in surprise.

"I think that if the emperor signs the letter of credentials without any conditions, Russia will think that our Qing Dynasty is weak and can be bullied. At that time, the lion will open its mouth and wantonly demand property, and we will be even more passive."

Suo'etu was disdainful in his heart, but still put on an attitude of not being ashamed to ask, "According to what your lord said, is there any other way?"

Although he doesn't like to confront Mingzhu publicly recently, he can't help being provocative when he speaks.However, the meaning of this provocation has been suppressed very lightly recently, except for Mingzhu, others may not be able to hear it.

Mingzhu didn't pay attention to his attitude at all, and still respectfully said to Kangxi: "Your Majesty, please summon the Russian envoy again, and express that the Qing Dynasty agrees to form an alliance with them, but the alliance must follow the rules of the Qing Dynasty. You have to make an annual offering to the Qing Dynasty."

Several people in the hall looked at each other after listening, and they all saw from each other's eyes that the other party thought this method was not feasible.

Xiong Cilu shook his head after hearing this: "The envoy's attitude is high and high, and he obviously doesn't take the Qing Dynasty seriously. They don't agree, and the so-called tsar will definitely not agree."

The rest of the people also nodded in agreement.

There was a meaningful smile on the corner of Mingzhu's mouth, "It doesn't matter whether he agrees or not. What's important is that this matter is of great importance. This envoy never dares to make up his own mind. He has to go back and ask their monarch for instructions. I heard that their country is far away. Daqing Mountain is high and the road is far away, so there must be a lot of time spent on the way back and forth."

The important thing is not whether he agrees or not, but delaying time.After this year has passed, the national treasury will be abundant next year. Whether we want to fight or be an ally, everything is easy to say.

"Master Mingzhu's words are very true." Zhang Ying thought for a moment, and then echoed: "This way, I can save my Qing Dynasty's face, and secondly, this envoy can leave the capital as soon as possible."

"What about Junggar?" Tang Bin asked.

There was a bright disgust in Kangxi's eyes: "They came here just to ask for money. I promised to give it, but I will only give them half."

Kangxi gritted his teeth angrily when he thought that the money for disaster relief had not yet arrived, but he wanted to give Junggar a sum of money for nothing.

Sensing his expression, Zhang Ying solemnly persuaded: "For the sake of the world, please be patient for the time being in order to seek compensation in the future."

The rest of the people looked at each other and said together: "Please ask the emperor to plan for the world."

Now the imperial court must not go to war with Junggar. The treasury's money may barely survive a drought, but it cannot support a war at all.Junggar is more like a group of desperadoes who drink blood. Once the food and supplies ahead cannot keep up and the war is defeated, the capital will be at stake.

If the safety of the capital is lost, the entire Qing Dynasty will be in danger.

It was precisely because he knew the consequences that Kangxi's complexion was livid. How could a great country be forced to this point by a small tribe, how could it not make people feel angry.

He said in a deep voice, "I am clear in my heart. In two days, I will order them to have a banquet and summon Junggar and foreigners at the same time."

Forbearance for a while, in exchange for time to plan for the future.As an emperor with the world in mind, he must endure this anger.

Tang Bin said casually, "As long as we can get together a group of people, maybe we can come to have two peaches to kill three warriors..."

Seeing that everyone's eyes were focused on his face, he explained embarrassingly: "The emperor forgives the sin, but the minister has no intentions."

Kangxi didn't have the heart to argue with him, it was just a matter of discussion, so he signaled to everyone that they could resign.

Several people exited the hall together.

After discussing this day, a few days later, Kangxi indeed summoned Gerdan and the Russian envoy at the same time.And directly announced the different attitudes towards the two parties with the imperial decree.

The Russian envoy didn't have enough time to cultivate himself, so his complexion turned dark at that time, and he said in a sharp voice that he would go back to ask his respected Majesty the Tsar for instructions, and then left angrily.

Gerdan had already prepared in his heart. Before coming, their Khan had told them that Qing Dynasty could not give him the money exactly as he asked for. If they could get half of what they asked for, their tribe would be able to live a stable year this winter. .

After thanking him with tribal etiquette, he also left quickly.

Kangxi watched the two of them leave with a calm face, and only ordered the post house to change their rooms farther away.

After the people left, he still thought, whether Tang Bin's words were right or not, if there are fewer people, the effect will be the same.

Before leaving Beijing, these two envoys representing different camps never had the chance to meet again.

This thing is over.

On Yinreng's side, after finishing all the things required by the system, he asked someone to make some new test tubes.Then he emptied out the side room closest to his dormitory and turned it into a laboratory.

A lot of work has been done, and now it is only waiting for him to go north when Khan Ama says.

But what he didn't know was that Kangxi had silently canceled his plan to go north.The reason for the cancellation is also very simple. The disaster relief money plus the money rewarded to the Junggar tribe, and the travel expenses of their father and son were blackmailed by others, and they are gone.

Yinfeng just waited and waited like this, but he didn't wait until he went on a trip, but he waited for his second most hated brother in his previous life, the eighth elder brother Yinhu.

The author has something to say:

small theater:

Yinfeng (looks at Kangxi tearfully): Khan Ama, I want to go out to play~

Kangxi (wanting to cry but no tears): Khan Ama wants to too, but our family has no money...

Yinfeng:...

Where's the money, Khan Ama?What about the little money that you agreed to let me inherit?
