Chapter Ninety-Eight: Who hasn't stepped on under their shoes

While the princes of the court were worried about mechanization, news came from the battlefield on the other side of the world that the crown prince of the Ottoman Emperor had been assassinated in another country. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoIn fact, the crown prince is a lord and faction, and he is also going to negotiate for peace in the face of a hostile country, hoping to erase the flames of war from the Eurasian sky.

In fact, if it had not been for the assassination of the crown prince, the war would have eased, if not stopped. However, the crown prince, who almost brought peace to the world, died at the gunpoint of the conspirators. Although the gunman was soon found and executed, and then the death of an outstanding crown prince made the Ottoman Empire, which was originally a strong country, sitting on the mountain and watching the tigers, and doing a careless job as an ally, not like coming to fight but like a spring outing.

When the news came, all the princes of the court were silent for a short time, and they all wondered in their hearts whether it was someone from their own side who did it. After all, as a nation that plays conspiracy to the point where it is as smooth as eating and drinking, it is simply sorry for the opponents who are intriguing all day long if they do not engage in conspiracy.

Of course, such a big conspiracy is impossible without going through Emperor Xuanqing.

Emperor Xuanqing: I am very wronged.

"Your Majesty, the minister thought that at this time he should send an envoy to the Ottoman Empire to lobby. "Although the Ottoman Empire is an ally, because there is a crown prince who has always advocated peace, it is very careless to be an ally. The Ming Dynasty and Austria-Hungary had a lot of opinions about him, but at this time they couldn't pull out their hands to scold him. The accidental assassination of the crown prince, or the death on the territory of the Entente, no matter who is the master, does not prevent the Ottoman Empire from being completely drawn into the quagmire of war.

After a moment of deliberation, they all advocated sending envoys to the Ottoman Empire, but there were some difficulties in selecting people.

In the court, most of the civil officials from poor families do not know martial arts, and the overseas war situation is ever-changing, so it is more prudent to send someone who knows martial arts. In addition, the envoys, Emperor Xuanqing still prefers to choose generations as the children of the official family, not for any other reason, but considering the demeanor and bearing, these things are best cultivated from an early age. What is the pearl of the cold door, the demeanor of the world, it is not nothing, it needs to be sharpened to have.

"Your Majesty, the envoy will not mention it for the time being, but the Chinese translator Weichen has a candidate to recommend. "Emperor Xuanqing's preferences, the princes of the court are still clear.

"Let's talk about it. ”

In his early years, Weichen studied at Nanshan Academy, and studied with Wang Chongya, who is now the inspector of the Imperial History, who is proficient in many languages, in addition to English and Russian, is Ottoman. ”

"Very good, and there is a prelude to the royal prelude. ”

At this time, Wang Li, who was dealing with the official letter sent by Henan Province, could not have imagined that there were old classmates in the court who recommended him to go to foreign countries to lobby the Ottoman Empire. He is indeed proficient in three Chinese languages, in fact, Nanshan Academy has a special language department, and the requirement for students is to know at least two foreign languages.

Of course, because of the expansion of the Ming Dynasty and the close attack, Russian is no longer a foreign language, so Wang Lixue is English and Ottoman, because Russian can only be regarded as a dialect today.

When there was an inner supervisor in the palace robe outside the public house, Wang Li was still confused, he was supervising the imperial history, and he didn't need to go to the court at all. Suddenly, he came to the inner prison to spread the news that he was going to court, and this was the first time Wang Li had encountered him: "Please wait for a while, and wait for me to change my clothes." ”

Even if he doesn't go to court every day, Wang Li also has court clothes, but fortunately, according to the experience of his predecessors, Wang Li also put a set of court clothes in the public house. immediately changed into it, and went to Daming Palace with the inner prison. On the way, Wang Li also made eye contact with Meng Yue behind Lu Chuying from a distance.

Meng Yue: "Sir, Senior Brother Wang is in such a hurry, he doesn't stop to say hello, why did he go?"

Lu Chuying is a clear door, because the internal supervisor in front of the emperor reported differently: "I want to pass the heavy cliff to the upward, there must be something important in the upward, and the heavy cliff must go." Or something big happened in Henan Road, otherwise, there is no need to go to the imperial history of Henan Road. ”

As long as it's not because of mechanization, there is already a pit at home, so it's best not to come again: "Sir, let's go upstairs, Ah Xu is waving at us upstairs." ”

Because the plum blossoms near the left were blooming just right, and Xu Yan was there, Meng Yue was very tempted and kept wanting to come out and take a look. Although the weather was cold, she couldn't stop her from wanting to come out of the waves, and it happened that Xu Yan was also bored, so she happily agreed. Lu Chuying went out with Meng Yue in order to let Lu Kunlang experience bringing a stove alone for a day.

When I went upstairs and saw Xu Yan, Meng Yue felt a little like being in Luyi in the past, and then saw the glass wine cup on the table, and even more: "I don't remember, Ah Xu picked the plum blossom style." ”

"Knowing that you are in Nanjing, I specially brought it all the way carefully, but unfortunately earlier this year, I took it out for drinking and spent a little bit. "It is precisely because of frequent use that it is difficult to bump on the face, the glass is extremely brittle, no matter how careful you care, it is unavoidable.

Meng Yue didn't mind this very much, she didn't break it and it was already calculated, she waved her hand and said: "Go back and find a good craftsman, let's burn another batch, the artwork I drew earlier is still there, send it to the craftsman to ponder, and it will be able to make exactly the same." When the time comes, it will break one or two, and there will be those that can be repaired. ”

Xu Yan nodded again and again, and Lu Chuying looked at it carefully for a moment and said, "Then dare to be kind, go back and give a set to the teacher." ”

Lu Chuying's voice fell, and suddenly saw a neat queue downstairs, and the officers and soldiers in bright armor ran by, Meng Yue has always been frightened recently, how can he see this, his heart is about to beat out of his throat.

"Isn't that Rong Changgong?" Rong Changgong refers to Rong Yi's brother Rong Su, Lu Chuying didn't know what to think, and said to the servants beside him, "Prepare the carriage and horses, Ah Meng will go to Guangyang with me, and Ah Xu will return home soon." ”

Guangyangdi is where the Lu family lives.

Although Xu Yan didn't understand what was going on, she understood that it was not the time to ask more, so she ordered the servant to take the wine cup and go downstairs with Lu Chuying and Mengyue, and left in a carriage.

Lu Chuying didn't speak to Meng Yue until the carriage was about to drive to the street in front of Guangyang: "This morning, my eldest brother came to Changpingli to send a note to the stove, and mentioned to me that Ye Fuan is afraid that he will make a move, Rong Changgong and Ye Fuan have always been good friends, and their political views are quite equal, and Rong Changgong is going here, I am afraid it is not a good thing." ”

"What is a bad deed?" asked Meng Yue.

"Ye Fuan and Yuan Lingzhao have not been on good terms for a long time, and at this juncture, Rong Changgong and the officials and soldiers are probably going to the Academy of Sciences to get people. ”

Mengyo: ......

"On what grounds?"

"After a long time in the DPRK, no one has stepped on under their shoes, but if they want to find it, they can't find a reason. "What Lu Chuying didn't export was that it was Master Meng, who took a turn in a fat yamen like the Weaving Mansion, even if he didn't stay for a long time, he was afraid that he would have oil and water on his hands.

However, in the end, Master Meng is only a small role in it, and Ye Fuan will not stare at Master Meng, so it can only be Yuan Lingzhao.

PS:

The assassination of the crown prince was a real occurrence in history and was the trigger for the First World War, but the crown prince was not the Ottoman (Turkish) Empire, but the Austro-Hungarian Empire. Because the Austro-Hungarian Empire was used earlier, this time we can only use the Ottoman Kingdom ~ Europe in the 17th century, and the double Austrian is the real local tyrant~
