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

Second Codex of the Orthodox Church.

Although he couldn't understand Russian, Jiang Ling still deduced the origin of this item from the pattern on the cover and the texture of the paper.

In Jiang Ling's memory, since the first tsar married the royal descendant of the Byzantine Empire, he has always regarded himself as the Third Roman Empire.It was also before that time that the Western Holy See was once divided, and there were several major conflicts between the Orthodox Church and the Catholic Church, which did not resolve until hundreds of years later.The patriarch of the Orthodox Church has always stood beside the tsars of all dynasties.

One of the characteristics of the Orthodox Church is the large number of legal codes.

As for this second code...

Although Jiang Ling can recognize its origin (thanks to the ppt released by the professor in the elective course), there are also countless second codes of the Orthodox Church. With Jiang Ling's poor memory, he really can't recognize it. Which one is it and what is it for.

When Kangxi returned to his room at night, Jiang Ling vaguely mentioned its purpose, and reasoned that he could not remember the specific records about it because of the long time, only knew that it was a legal code, and it was very likely It is related to those Western missionaries in the capital.As for the grievances between the two sects, it's better to wait for the missionaries to explain the science to Emperor Kangxi. She really doesn't have the guts.

Emperor Kangxi pondered for a moment, and approved of her statement.

Jiang Ling waited on the spot for a long time, but did not wait for Kangxi's response, so she looked up at him, saw that Kangxi had sealed the thing again, went outside, called Chief Manager Liang over, and told him to put the Things are handed over to so-and-so, sent to the capital, and then handed over to so-and-so.Manager Liang responded repeatedly, and left with his things.From the beginning to the end, he never mentioned Jiang Ling.

Jiang Ling breathed a sigh of relief, feeling a little at ease.

Only then did Kangxi turn around, pick out the wick with a copper pick, and said with a smile, "As soon as I saw that thing, I guessed that you might know it. As expected." His eyesight has always been good.

Jiang Ling's eyes started to wander around again, and asked softly: "The emperor showed me this thing, isn't he afraid of me..."

Kangxi shook his head and said with a smile, "You won't."

Jiang Ling was stunned for a moment: "I..."

Kangxi looked at her with a smile, still the same faint smile: "I am watching you. You can't."

Jiang Ling let out a soft oh, and suddenly felt a little heavy in his heart, not knowing what it was like.

She wanted to say something more, but found that no matter what she said, it seemed a bit inappropriate.Kangxi had already sat back in front of the case, took out a memorial from the box, and slowly reviewed it.Jiang Ling looked at his profile for a long time before he suddenly realized that the current situation was exactly the same as when he was in Rehe.

She suddenly felt flustered, but she didn't know why she was so flustered.

Obviously...Obviously, I have gradually gotten used to this situation.

The candles burned out little by little, and the gaps in the corners gradually exceeded the marking line of Haishi, and Kangxi was still reviewing his memorials.Jiang Ling sat quietly by the bed, flipping through a book of bamboo branch poetry in his hand, but his eyes wandered to nowhere.When Kangxi finished approving the last paper and was about to extinguish the candle, he found that Jiang Ling was sitting blankly, his eyes were dazed, and the book in his hand hadn't been turned over for a long time.

Kangxi walked up to Jiang Ling and called her name in a low voice.

Jiang Ling was startled, and then realized that Kangxi was standing in front of her, bent over, looking into her eyes quietly.

There was still a faint smile in his eyes, reflecting two small figures, with the usual indulgent expression.Probably because Jiang Ling's expression was too unusual, Kangxi held her shoulders, and said with a low laugh, "Why don't you rest?"

Jiang Ling subconsciously glanced at Genglou, the engraved line had already passed Haishi.

Usually, she would fall asleep after Xu time, but today, for some reason, holding this bamboo branch Ci in a daze, she actually missed the time to fall asleep.Jiang Ling subconsciously avoided Kangxi's gaze, put Zhuzhi Ci beside the bed, and whispered: "I, I..." I'm going to sleep.

Kangxi couldn't help laughing, but without pointing it out, he got up and blew out the candle.

Looking back, Jiang Ling had already taken off her shoes and socks and lay down on the bed, curled up a little.

Kangxi coughed lowly, walked to the bed, leaned into her ear and asked, "According to the logic, should you change my clothes first?"

Jiang Ling's body froze.Usually, Kangxi would lie down with him in his clothes, and only when he fell asleep did he get up to review the papers.I missed the time to fall asleep this night, so I have been waiting until now.

It seems, it seems that it should change his clothes for him.

Jiang Ling got up stiffly, and saw Emperor Kangxi standing in front of the bed, with arms outstretched, looking at her leisurely, with that faint smile still in his eyes.Under the hazy moonlight, there seemed to be a hint of ridicule.She was a little angry and flustered for some reason, she groped and put her fingers on his collar, and undid the first button.

Followed by the second, third...

Her movements were very stiff, so Kangxi also stood there, motionless, and waited until she unbuttoned the buttons one by one and removed his coat, then he kicked off his shoes and socks, picked up Jiang Ling, and laid him horizontally On the bed, he finally lay down beside her.

Jiang Ling closed his eyes, and his body slowly softened.

Kangxi turned to look at her, stroking her long hair with his fingertips, and asked in a low voice, "What's wrong?"

--nothing.

——It just seems that I am really used to this way of getting along.

Jiang Ling randomly found an excuse to prevaricate, pretending that he was leaning in the arms of a huge teddy bear, and gradually calmed down.Kangxi waited for a while, but seeing Jiang Ling's response, he looked down at her.After a long time, a muffled low laugh came out of her throat, her thumb brushed across her slender eyelashes, and stayed by her ear.

Jiang Ling froze in his arms for a moment, but soon calmed down again.

Kangxi smiled, straightened her body, covered her with a thin quilt, and fell asleep with his eyes closed.

In the dream that night, Kangxi once again heard about the intricate grievances and grievances between the Tsarist Russian Holy See and the Western European Holy See, but because he was in a better mood than usual, he still had a good night's sleep.When he woke up the next morning, Jiang Ling greeted him as usual.

In the evening of that day, Kangxi brought Jiang Ling and two or three attendants to a painting boat.

This painting boat was carefully selected. It is said that from the outside, it is the most common boat on the Qinhuai River; but from the inside, it is more spacious and extravagant than any painting boat on the Qinhuai River.When Kangxi took Jiang Ling to the boat, there were already many guards dressed as boatmen standing inside, and three or four painted boats were guarding them, carrying them slowly to the east.

Qinhuai is a beautiful scene, singing and singing every night, and the lights are as bright as the prosperity of later generations.

Jiang Ling leaned on the side of the boat and watched the night scene, while Kangxi sat behind her, slowly grinding a piece of pine smoke ink.Chief Manager Liang wanted to do it for him, but was stopped by Kangxi. He continued to grind slowly by himself, watching the ink color faint in the clear water, and said to himself: "It's time to come."

It seems that Kangxi was waiting for someone when he went to the Qinhuai River to paint a boat tonight.

Slowly, half of the pine smoke ink in Kangxi's hand went away, and Manager Liang walked back and forth a few times like an ant on a hot pot, but he didn't dare to bother Kangxi too much.Jiang Ling looked at the night view of the Qinhuai River outside. Exquisite painted boats shuttled in the water and passed before his eyes. It was indeed a rare scene in the south of the Yangtze River.A painting boat was slowly rowing towards this side under the tug of the boatman.

Jiang Ling was a little puzzled when suddenly a middle-aged man on that boat gritted his teeth and jumped onto another painting boat, and then jumped onto another painting boat.The two boats in succession were guards brought by Kangxi, and whoever wanted to board the boat had to be searched by them.

Jiang Ling glanced at Kangxi, he was still grinding ink, but his movements gradually slowed down.

About two or three quarters of an hour later, a guard with the appearance of a boatman jumped onto the boat, walked quickly to Kangxi, and whispered a few words.

Kangxi nodded slightly and said, "Xuan."

Jiang Ling left from the side of the boat, and obediently stood behind Kangxi, looking at the unmelted ink in his hand.Kangxi glanced at her sideways, and there was a faint smile in his eyes again.Jiang Ling looked away, pretending to be looking at the night scene on the Qinhuai River.

A nearby painting boat slowly approached, and two guards dressed as boatmen led a middle-aged man and jumped onto Kangxi's painting boat.The middle-aged man was about forty years old, with three strands of beard, and he was kind-hearted.Jiang Ling suddenly discovered that the man's face shape and facial features were [-] to [-]% similar to Mrs. Wang's.

Is it...

The middle-aged man bowed to Kangxi and said, "Your Excellency, Prince Teng, sees His Majesty."

Jiang Ling couldn't help being surprised when he heard Wang Ziteng's name.This man is Mrs. Wang's elder brother. It is said that he was an official in the same dynasty as Jia Zheng and others. He is the "King of Jinling" mentioned in the Jinling Protector Talisman.But I didn't expect to see him here.

After Wang Ziteng saluted, he stood aside with his hands down, waiting for Kangxi's order.The officials in Jinling told him just now that Lord Long Live wanted to meet him here, but he still didn't believe it; he didn't know it was true until he actually saw Kangxi.

Kangxi glanced at Liang Jiugong and nodded slightly.

Liang Jiugong understood, so he took out a folded paper from his sleeve and unfolded it in front of Kangxi's desk.Jiang Ling glanced at it, it was the Jinling Official Protector Talisman, but somehow it got into Kangxi's hands.Kangxi pointed to the official amulet and said, "Do you know this?"

Wang Ziteng stepped forward to pick up the piece of paper, and as soon as he glanced at it, his face immediately changed: "Your Majesty, this..."

Kangxi slightly raised his hand, stopped his next words, and said: "I know, the literal 'Jinling King' and so on, are just children with yellow mouths singing to each other, so I won't blame Wang Qing for this matter. Wang Qing came here for another reason: I heard that the amount of official salt this year is not right. It is more than [-] dan less than in previous years. It is difficult to enter. And the root of this case can be traced back to Jinling City."

Then, Kangxi glanced at the official amulet again, and his eyes fell on the three characters "Jinling King" intentionally or unintentionally.

Wang Ziteng's face changed suddenly, and he said repeatedly: "I'm terrified."

Kangxi smiled, but the smile did not penetrate his eyes: "Don't panic. The root cause of this case has not yet been determined. Wang Qing has been operating in Jinling City for a long time, and then released it to the outside world. It's been more than half a year, but I don't know if you have heard any rumors in this Jiangnan area?"

This made Wang Ziteng feel embarrassed.

Wang Ziteng knew about the transfer of private salt to official salt, and he also knew that the Xue family in Jinling facilitated this matter.But their Wang family and the Xue family are related by marriage, and the four major families in Jinling are also intertwined, and no one's roots are clean.What if Kangxi thoroughly investigated the Xue family, pulled out the carrots and brought out the mud, and searched their Wang family as well?The Wang family is not like a historian. The city is quite deep and they act cautiously. If the Wang family really collapses, they will never be able to recover.

Most of the reasons why officials in this world protect each other lie in this.

Wang Ziteng thought of this, and said: "Back to the emperor, I have been a Beijing official for more than ten years, and I have just been released. I really don't know how the Jiangnan salt case got involved in Jinling City. Oh, I heard that the rich merchants in Yangzhou City There are so many Jias, and there are not a few who made their fortunes by selling private salt, maybe those wealthy businessmen will know something."

With a few words, he pushed the root cause of the matter to Yangzhou City.
