[Red Mansion+Qing Chuan] The heroine comes from the last days

Kangxi couldn't sleep anymore.

He got up and walked to the window, looked at the lotus pond under the moon for a while, and suddenly remembered that Jiang Ling had been rumored for a long time before he left Beijing.Those rumors are related to the affairs of Tsarist Russia.They said convincingly that Jiang Ling's birth date coincides with the fate of the country. If Jiang Ling enters the harem, the affairs of Aihui and Tsarist Russia may not end well.

He thought it was absurd at the time, but now... thinking about it now, it's also quite absurd.

But the dream just now made Kangxi fall into deep thought again.

Although he couldn't remember exactly when he fell asleep, it was obvious that the dream just now was quite clear and real, as if he had experienced it himself, every sentence and every scene was vivid in his mind.If he hadn't experienced the opposite scene during the day, he would probably have regarded the dream as real, and woke up his close ministers in the middle of the night to discuss a countermeasure.

Kangxi remembered that before he went to bed, the woman beside him said, "Siberia is vast and sparsely populated"...

But the Tsar was never mentioned.

As we all know, it takes at least several decades for a book to become a book and spread to the world.Therefore, in the book, Siberia can be mentioned, the Far East and the garrison of Tsarist Russia can be mentioned, and the tsar can be mentioned, but the current tsar will definitely not be mentioned.Thinking about it with my brain, I also know that those words were not spoken by her, but fabricated by herself in a dream.

However, why would he fabricate such an absurd dream?

There are also those descriptions in the dream, which are very different from the description in reality——

During the day, the interpreter said that Emperor Alexei of Russia was in his prime, but in the dream, the interpreter said that Emperor Alexei had passed away, and the current Russian tsar was just two young children; The translator said that the emperor of Russia controls the entire country, but in his dream he said that the current ruler of Tsarist Russia is a Russian princess, and that the east of West Siberia is almost out of control; Thousands of miles to the north, the grassland is a vast and fertile land, feeding hundreds of cities, tens of thousands of manors and villages. No matter how many troops they send, they can be eaten up by Russia; but in the dream, The translator said that although Siberia is vast and boundless, it is inaccessible, and most of it is covered with ice sheets...

Every word and every sentence made Kangxi feel a chill in his heart.

According to daily inferences, the further north you go, the colder it should be.

So what the interpreter said in his dream was more believable than what he said during the day.

But it was precisely because of this that Kangxi felt a chill rushing from the soles of his feet to the top of his head, like a basin of cold water pouring down his head.He had only had such a clear and real dream once since he was a child, but the words and sentences were deeply imprinted in his mind like a brand, and after a while, there would be two completely opposite sentences. , staggered, collided, compared one by one in my mind, and the words were opposite.

Which is true?Who is fake?

Kangxi rubbed the center of his brows, feeling a dull pain in his head.

He walked back to the bed, looked at Jiang Ling's face in deep sleep, calmed down little by little, and then smiled at himself, thinking that he had become suspicious. Being able to push the matter to Jiang Ling, how is he different from those old guys with strange powers... Thinking of this, he lay back beside Jiang Ling, and saw her peaceful sleeping face glowing in the moonlight. Looking at the color of suet jade, he smiled lightly for a moment.

That false dream should have nothing to do with her.

Kangxi thought for a moment, then turned sideways unconsciously, tucked the corner of the quilt for her, and fell asleep again.

This time he didn't dream, and slept until dawn.

The next morning, Emperor Kangxi summoned all his ministers, especially the Russian missionary and interpreter who claimed to know everything about Russia and wanted to serve the emperor, to come to the small palace, and the place was packed to the brim.Kangxi tried it a few times at first, but the missionary and translator insisted that Emperor Alexei of his own country was in his prime, anyway, they couldn't send people all the way to St. Petersburg to check; Two years have passed.Seeing that he was so confident, Emperor Kangxi began to suspect that he had just had a strange dream last night, so he asked again:

"I heard that Siberia, as your envoy said, is a large ice field, with a vast land and sparsely populated areas, and there has never been a fertile land."

The missionary's expression changed.There are vast fertile lands, of course, but they are not worth mentioning compared with the vast expanse of Siberia, which is more of ice fields, forests, mountains and untouched ice.He thought that Emperor Kangxi had a senior person beside him, and he was a senior person who knew the situation in Russia quite well, so he bowed slightly and said, "Dear Emperor, of course it is a vast and fertile land. Compared with our capital, Come on."

Kangxi's face changed slightly.The courtiers also changed their faces a little.

"Compared to our capital", it is a vast and boundless land.

What about Siberia as a whole?

You know, there are fertile lands tens of millions of times larger than the capital, all over the country.

The balance in Kangxi's heart has been tilted towards that dream, and also towards what Jiang Ling said last night.He pressed the armrest, stood up slowly, looked down at the missionary, and said slowly again: "I have heard a rumor that Emperor Alexei has passed away. There are two tsars, one named Ivan and one named Peter, all of whom are unable to control the affairs of the court because of their young age, so Princess Sophia is temporarily in power. The princess is also young, and the control of the Far East is somewhat unstable."

He uttered that absurd dream word by word.

The missionary's face immediately changed, and his pupils shrank slightly.But because his complexion is fairer than ordinary people, the change is not obvious.It's a pity that Emperor Kangxi has been observing his every move, not even the slightest change has escaped Kangxi's eyes.

The dream last night was real.

But how is this possible?

Kangxi felt relieved suddenly, but felt even more ridiculous.Just as he was about to say something more, the missionary suddenly said: "Dear Emperor, I don't know where you heard this rumor. But since it is a rumor, it should not be used as the basis and example of diplomatic relations between the two countries. Our Emperor Alexei is now in his prime, and Prince Ivan, Prince Peter, and Princess Sophia are happily playing in the castle. As for the unstable situation in the Far East, it is of course... haha, of course it is a rumor."

Although the missionaries did not know where Emperor Kangxi got the news, but based on the fact that Kangxi accurately named the names of Prince Ivan, Prince Peter and Princess Sophia, the missionaries believed that Emperor Kangxi was surrounded by not only high-ranking people , and the news of this expert is far better than those guys in the Far East.

You must know that it was a full year and a half after the death of Emperor Alexei that the news spread from St. Petersburg to the Far East; and it was only spread among nobles and officials; The name is taboo, and I don't know the major events that happened in St. Petersburg.The missionary thought to himself that he should go back earlier and report the news to the Grand Duke.

But Emperor Kangxi didn't give him a chance to return home, and nodded around, some courtiers came forward, randomly found a reason to treat him, and put the missionary under house arrest.As for the Russian envoy, he did not understand what had happened until that afternoon.

"It's good to entertain those two guests." Kangxi said lightly.

That illusory and treacherous dream gave Emperor Kangxi a lot of restlessness.It wasn't until today's court was over that I leaned on the table and rubbed the space between my brows.Two academicians came forward and asked Kangxi cautiously, but things changed.Kangxi nodded slowly, and said wearily: "Yes, things have changed, but I don't think it's necessarily a bad thing."

Two young Russian tsars and a shaky ruling princess.

If he didn't take advantage of this to solve the trouble, he would be even more passive when the young emperor reached his prime.

Kangxi thought about it, and decided to go back tonight and ask Jiang Ling if there was anything else mentioned in that book.

Jiang Ling had heard a little about what happened in the small palace that day. After all, the place was too small. Officials passed word of mouth, and it didn't take long before it reached her ears.But Jiang Ling didn't know the details. He just heard that Emperor Kangxi had retained two guests and planned to entertain them well in a few days.She guessed that last night's dream played some role, and she was relieved.

Although Jiang Ling didn't know which side Emperor Kangxi was leaning towards, it was better than before.

If she remembers correctly, most of the maps of the world that are currently circulating in the world are wrong.Jiang Ling has always been cautious, thinking that it is impossible to produce a correct map, so he can only remind Kangxi a little in this obscure way.

Fortunately, things went more smoothly than she had imagined.

In the evening, Jiang Ling waited for Emperor Kangxi who had returned earlier.

Kangxi never said anything about today's events, but only asked Jiang Ling if there was anything else mentioned in that book.

Jiang Ling claimed that the book was obtained by accident and had been damaged, so Kangxi didn't ask the title of the book in detail, but asked a few great scholars to find it.Asking Jiang Ling now, I just want to hear more frank words, and it will be more beneficial to me when I wait for tomorrow's situation.

He still had the usual gentle expression, but Jiang Ling felt a subtle difference.

It seems... the emperor's interest in him has changed again.

But this change was extremely subtle and secretive, even Jiang Ling himself only noticed a little bit.She collected herself and mentioned some unimportant things about Russia and the Tsar to Emperor Kangxi, especially since the capital of Tsarist Russia was severely to the west, and her control over the Far East was lacking all year round.Kangxi listened, then smiled and said: "I have never heard of these old news before, and those Western missionaries who served as teachers for me never mentioned it." He had learned something from them.

Jiang Ling was a little curious, but he didn't dare to ask.

Seeing her slightly startled expression, Kangxi smiled again, went to the case, wrote down some important things, and prepared to try the envoy again tomorrow.Suddenly Jiang Ling called out to the emperor softly, and asked tentatively: "Your Majesty, I want to meet that missionary, I don't know..." She was really curious about the current tsar and Russia, as well as Russian missionaries. Sir, what is the state?

Kangxi paused with his pen tip, shook his head and said with a smile, "No."

Jiang Ling lowered his head and let out a soft oh.

Kangxi saw that there was something wrong with her expression, so he shook his head and smiled again: "I will allow you to do everything else, but this one is not allowed. This matter is very important, and before... If you get involved in this matter, the Queen Mother Over there, I can’t tell.”

Jiang Ling was stunned for a moment.

Then she thought that the reason why she came to Rehe, Aihui and Tsarist Russia was the fuse.If he was really involved in this matter, no matter what the result was, he would not be able to escape the crime of harming the country.Kangxi, he has good intentions.

Jiang Ling squeezed the corner of the quilt, and said softly:

"There is another rumor about Russia and their Emperor..."
