After the fourth master and I wear each other [Qing wear]

Happy times always feel short-lived.Inadvertently, Christmas is over in London.

In about five months, Wu Fuyi and Yinzhen had a thorough understanding of the Royal Society, not letting go of any natural science research.

After winning the Café Summer Dolphin Dissection Competition, the expedition paid a sponsorship fee to the Royal Society in the name of wishing it a smooth relocation.

The expedition team, as the winner, does get to visit the Society for free.

But if you want to break into the interior, have unimpeded access within a few months, and get a first-hand information about Newton's live interview, you might as well give some benefits.

As the saying goes, a slap in the face for a piece of sweet dates will make it easier to buy people's hearts.

For this sponsorship fee, Wen Xian personally contributed half of it.

Then on Christmas Eve, the first draft of "Detective Newton" was produced, and the protagonist reluctantly approved it.

People in the Qing Dynasty wrote crime-solving novels in English. Don’t ask for a brilliant literary talent, as long as the plot content is eye-catching.

On the other hand, Yinzhen figured out the financial operation of the Royal Exchange, and made a profit of [-] pounds from a small test of a stock.

At this time, a piece of news is like bad news, waking people up from their dream of flying themselves in a foreign country.

"It's time to leave."

Wu Fuyi held the Nth team meeting of the expedition team, "Don't forget, the original plan was to return at the end of the year."

Yinzhen was tasting the sweetness of the stock market, and when he heard this sentence, he was poured a basin of ice water head-on.

He was not too reluctant to leave the London Stock Exchange, but remembered the key issue, a problem that he had forgotten for several months.

"Oh no!"

Yinzhen belatedly found that she stayed in London longer than expected.

He took a sip of rum in distress, "The original route was to go to France, the Netherlands and other countries. It's all because the sound of money on the exchange is so attractive that I lost track of time. What should I do now?"

Wu Fuyi was very calm, "It doesn't matter. The purpose of the investigation is to understand the dynamics of Europa, and now the cutting-edge scientific research will be published.

You have also seen that London not only does not limit purchases, but also allows free discussions in various cafes.Then buy a complete set of periodicals and newspapers and transport them back to the Qing Dynasty for careful study.

read more, walk more.For the part of the on-the-spot observation, it is not that there is no other way to think, just go back to the country separately.

You go back faster by sea, but we go by land.Pass through the Netherlands, France, the Holy Roman Empire, Tsarist Russia, the Junggar Khanate, etc., and return to the Qing Dynasty. "

As she spoke, she and Yinzhen looked at each other inadvertently.

After concealing it for nearly two years, it was finally the day when the real travel plan was announced.

Who said that the two of them would never miss leaving?

Absolutely not.

No Rang is more disciplined than them, reminding everyone to set foot on the way home on time, Kangxi knows that he will be moved.

It's just that a little change has taken place, and it's just that I didn't go back to Shihai Road again.

Wu Fuyi spoke out the arrangement unhurriedly, as if he was talking about an ordinary thing.

"What?"

"what?"

"Ama, when will you be home?"

"Fourth Uncle, how do you define us and you?"

Yinzhen, Wen Xian, Honghui and Hongsheng asked questions in disbelief at the same time.

The four of them were reminded to go back, but they hadn't recovered from the lingering feeling that they had to go back. How could they expect to be hit with the sap of returning home separately.Don't bully them to read a lot, now they know enough to go back to Beijing by land at least twice as long as by sea.

"The situation on land is unstable, you all go back by boat."

Wu Fuyi pointed at himself, and then at Yinzhen. "Including Liao Xing and Dai Zi, a total of four people will go by land. The rest will go with you."

There is no need for guards, just hire them locally.

There is no need for a cook. Although the diet is a bit more monotonous, the inspection is not a pleasure.

"No no no!"

Yinzhen firmly shook her head, strongly disapproving of such an arrangement.

"This kind of risk is too great, and it is more difficult than Tang Monk to learn Buddhist scriptures. It is not possible to form a quartet of Buddhist scriptures with four people. You don't have the escort of Wukong, Bajie, and Drifting Monk."

Wait a moment.

Wukong probably exists?When he came, Wu Ze Fujin showed that he was very capable of fighting.

Yinzhen received Lao Jiu's gaze and could only smile politely.

How would he explain that the Wu clan who fought against pirates with one enemy a hundred when he came here is an old ghost?If you can't explain it, keep silent.

Yinzhen shook her head to make herself think more seriously, now is not the time to think about messy things.

He persuaded: "Although the sea route will encounter pirates, storms, etc., merchant ships of various countries have sailed for many years, and a large number of precedents refer to avoiding danger. There are few safety guidelines when traveling by land. Today, many European countries are still fighting the Spanish succession war. How to pass the border checkpoint between them? Fourth brother, let's take the sea route together."

Wen Xian also persuaded, "Although I didn't get to visit other countries this time, we can wait until the next time to go to sea. Or, we simply stay in Europe for an extra year before returning to China by sea."

Ouch, very brave, so daring to speak.

Hongsheng looked at the fifth aunt with admiration. The children born to the concubine Defei are very thoughtful.

Princess Wen Xian almost said that she would not accept the military order abroad, and everyone dared not to act according to the plan reported to the emperor.

Yinzhen was not surprised by his younger sister's suggestion, Wen Xian's courage has been cultivated.

But he knew the difference between two people going overland against the decree, and a group of people staying in Europe for an extra year.

The former can make Kangxi's anger a little lighter, while the latter will inevitably be characterized as going out to play and getting wild.

Wu Fuyi politely rejected Wen Xian's proposal, "Your kindness is appreciated for my brother's heart, but there is no need to be punished together. You return to Beijing on time, and it is not difficult to go out again. Especially the old nine wants to continue to do ocean-going Business, but also to develop and establish the Eastern financial market, is to maintain a good reputation in front of Khan Ama.”

This is said sincerely, as if wholeheartedly planning for the younger brothers and sisters.

"And delaying returning to Beijing is not the best solution, because there are many countries to visit, and returning to Beijing by land is the best choice. You have already seen the difference in London. From the side of this city, it reflects that the customs of Europa are different from those of the Qing Dynasty. There are many bad habits, but the spirit of exploration is by no means lacking.

When we came, we roughly realized the power distribution of the European countries on the sea.Now is also the time to explore countries' land power.No one has done it before, and it is full of dangers, so I am even more obliged to complete it. "

There is a truth that cannot be told.

Whether Wen Xian, Yinzhen, or even Honghui may be approved by Kangxi to go abroad again, but the fourth child will not have such an opportunity.

After returning to Beijing, if Kangxi did not change his mind, the old Siji might be forced to the throne.

If Kangxi changed his mind, he would have to prepare for more complicated struggles, and it would be impossible to be approved to go abroad.

Therefore, the so-called next time must be nothing but empty talk for the fourth child.

All the teaching methods that are based on emotion and reason have been laid out.

This is not enough, but also to play a card to deepen the relationship.

"The fact that the investigation team failed to return to Beijing together will definitely arouse the anger of Han Ama. I should take full responsibility for this matter. The confession of guilt and the anecdote of the investigation that make people feel discouraged are all in it. Just pass it on for your help. .”

Wu Fuyi fetched a wooden box, which contained a letter written by Yinzhen to his father in the name of the fourth son.

"It was my own will to change to Lu. This matter is emphatically explained to Khan Ama. None of you can stop my decision. One person does things and one person is responsible, and no one is allowed to take responsibility indiscriminately. Let the implicated punishment you receive be dealt with in the future. compensate."

Let Lao Jiu and others go back to Beijing first by sea, which is a bit unethical, and will definitely bear a wave of Kangxi's anger.

It's not that dead friends don't die poor people, but that they don't add fuel to the fire, causing Kangxi to become even more angry.

The fourth child can't get on the return boat, and the others can't tie him on either.

At least I know how to let my younger brother, younger sister, son and nephew go home on a safer path, instead of leading them away as people who can't go home together.

"Fourth brother..."

Yinzhen had a lot of persuasive words, but when he got to his mouth, he found that he couldn't say it, because after calm thinking, he found that the fourth brother's decision was right.

Especially Hongsheng, he had to bring him back to the capital on time, so that he could give Brother Wu an explanation.

The fourth brother is also daring.The meaning is very clear, thousands of mistakes are his fault alone, and the road trip is settled.

To this day, Yinzhen is willing to stand in line with the fourth brother.Except for the fourth brother, the other brothers' succession to the throne is not good for Daqing or him personally.

Knowing that you can't be persuaded, you don't persuade.Save some energy and think about how to make Kangxi happy, the less anger Kangxi makes, the better it will be for the fourth brother who comes home late.

Thinking of this, Yinzhen fell into self-movement.

Look at him, this kind of behavior can really select the best younger brother in the Qing Dynasty, and Fourteen don't even think about competing with him.

The last group meeting of the expedition team is over.

Wu Fuyi announced the time of their respective departures, and then talked with everyone individually, focusing on talking about the two of them with Honghui.

One is Peter I of Tsarist Russia.

According to gossip from London cafes, Peter I traveled to Europe in disguise in the early years to learn various natural science knowledge.

The other is Zhu Yunqi of the former Ming Dynasty.

Zhu Yuanzhang's prince passed away unfortunately, and his grandson succeeded him.

The separation is imminent, and the risk of the land route is particularly known.

At this time, mentioning these two characters is not just a small talk.

Tsarist Russia was on the side of the Qing Dynasty, and Peter was willing to go to Europe in disguise. How can his ambition not be taken seriously.

The mention of Zhu Yunqi again made Honghui learn from history.Honghui had no way out, if the fourth son died on the journey, he would fight for the position of the grandson of the emperor as the son of the fourth master.

The predicament before him was even worse than Zhu Yunqi, and when he had to deal with the court disputes on his own, it was impossible for him to live under the protection of the fourth child all the time.

Finally, he emphasized: "As a father, I hope that my child will be safe and sound for the rest of his life, but in the age of the court and complex changes, we must face reality. Remember, you are no longer a child when you return to Beijing this time.

People must learn to grow up.As a father, I hope that you will not lose your heart like your second uncle. I hope that we can be father and son first in this life. "

Father and son first, then what?

The unfinished sentence "afterwards is the monarch and his ministers".

Now, whether the fourth elder brother can succeed to the throne is still unknown, so I can't say clearly if there are some things.But after going through so many things, seeing how big the world is and the external development, how could he not have the idea of ​​seizing the heir.

Honghui understood Ama's parting instructions, and couldn't help but feel heavy.At this moment, he was not a bit happy about being chosen as the heir.

What is more worrying is whether this parting can meet again smoothly and safely.If Ama is unfortunately killed, he will have to take responsibility to fulfill Ama's unfulfilled wish.

When it's time to leave, there is no need to be too attached to it.

Wu Fuyi went through too many life and death, and after seeing off the expedition team merchant ship, he quickly adjusted his mentality and started a new journey.

Seeing that Yinzhen didn't appear depressed on the surface, but compressed all entertainment and leisure, and hurriedly collected information on the development of various countries, she knew that this person was using work to relieve his depression.

It's not bad to do so.People are busy, so there is little time to think about it.

Time will pass like water.

Kangxi 51 years, February.

The expedition team left the capital for two years and eight months, and most of the members returned to the capital as planned.

Inside the Qianqing Palace.

Kangxi's face was very dark, and he received good news and bad news.

The good news is that 20 of the 16-member team returned successfully.

Bad news, bad news, something bad happened, the fourth child actually ran away from home!

In the ancient "Journey to the West", four Tang monks, masters and apprentices went to the West to learn Buddhist scriptures.

Today, the fourth child brings Fujin, a doctor, and a firearms scholar with him, and the four of them cross the Eurasian continent from west to east. This is the posture in which "New Journey to the East" is properly written.

Kangxi: Why did he choose a son who didn't come home to succeed him!

What can be done?Forgive him of course.

Then do everything about the dragon robe, take advantage of the unpreparedness, and tie him to the throne immediately after he returns to Beijing.He doesn't believe in evil anymore, how dare the fourth child run away after becoming the emperor!
