Li Yunzhong secretly scolded: Bastard, it turned out that with this idea, I wonder how they knew that Lu Daozhen must be interested in Alaska, is there a mole? One piece of news has lost a million taels of silver!

"Your Excellency wait a moment, we can discuss the price well, if the Yankees get Alaska, their tentacles will extend to Asia, not only Russia will be affected, but the Han will not be immune to the bullying of the United States, why don't you do this, I will add another 500,000 taels, how about it?"

The bottom line in Alexander's heart is the price of 20,000 foreign guns, how can he easily agree.

"Your Majesty, if you can bid two and a half million taels, Alaska belongs to the Great Han, although the weather is changeable and the night is cold, but there is abundant gold, as long as Your Majesty operates for a few more years, you will definitely be able to recover the cost."

Li Yun is the most annoying bargain, the first few times he traded with Britain, the Kingdom of Prussia and other powerful countries, there was no way, the Han did not have this talent, only he played in person, and now Russia is obviously in a weak position, and he still has the patience to talk to him.

"If Russia doesn't agree, then forget it, I'll treat you as if you haven't come, come, send off!"

Alexander was immediately alarmed and panicked, hurriedly took two steps forward, and argued: "Your Majesty, these two transactions are separate, and we have received money from the Americans, so that we can buy your country's guns, so that both transactions can be successfully completed, isn't it the best of both worlds." ”

Li Yunzhong said secretly: If you don't tell me that Alaska is the best of both worlds, I know that of course I want to have the best of both worlds!

Li Yunzhong replied sharply: "No! The two transactions must be put together, and the Yankees will pay up to 1.5 million taels of silver, so you don't have to do this method. Use the Yankees to deceive the big guys, and use the big guys to deceive the Yankees. ”

Alexander gritted his teeth. He promised, "Good! That's 1.5 million taels! On behalf of Russia, I promise you, but the Great Han Kingdom must sign a non-aggression pact with Russia. ”

Li Yunzhong agreed without thinking about it. Aren't treaties meant to be torn up?

Three days later, Alexander looked at the treaty in his hand with satisfaction, and this time it was worthwhile, not only to buy a rifle, but also to solve the threat of hundreds of thousands of troops for the Russian Empire.

"Your Highness, it's not good! Your Highness, no! ”

No sooner had Alexander than he was about to tell his servants to pack their bags and prepare to return to Moscow when he heard a shout. Hurriedly put away the treaty in his hand, kicked open the door, and said angrily: "What's the matter! Do you want to die! ”

The servant stammered back, "Oh no, Your Highness! His Majesty has committed suicide! There is news from the country, just half a month after His Royal Highness left Moscow, he committed suicide by taking poison, and now Russia is in chaos, Moscow is presided over by Prince Menshikov, and he is sending someone to ask His Highness to return to Moscow to ascend the throne quickly! ”

Alexander heard bad news at first glance. He took two steps back in disbelief, his father, Emperor Nikolai, had always been in good health, and he had always treated soldiers well, and there was no reason to rebel. It is said that he committed suicide by taking poison, which is nine times out of ten.

Alexander was the eldest son of Nicholas I, born in 1818. As his two uncles, Alexander I and Grand Duke Constantine, had no children. The court realized early on that Alexander could be the future crown prince, the heir to the Russian Empire. So the whole Russian court. Including his father Nikolai, he paid great attention to the education of the future crown prince. He completed all his education at the age of nineteen. He studied a wide range of subjects, including mathematics, physics, geography, history, Orthodox theology, political economy, law and foreign languages, and mastered four foreign languages – English, German, French and Polish. It can be said that Alexander received the best education compared to all the previous Russian emperors.

Alexander had this self-confidence, he would not be in Moscow, and no one would support someone else to ascend the throne, but the war in Crimea was raging, and any news could cause a chain reaction, and it was a major event of the death of the Tsar.

"Return to Moscow at once, Petrov, you stay and receive the guns of the Great Han Kingdom, and you must transport these guns to the front and hand them over to Mikhail. Prince Gorchakov. ”

Petrov solemnly replied: "Yes! ”

When Li Yunzhong learned that Nicholas I had committed suicide, Alexander had already left Beijing, which made him secretly feel sorry for him, and if Alexander was detained, he would definitely get more benefits.

In the south study, Min Shu saw the emperor reviewing the chapter, and reminded in a low voice: "Your Majesty, Lord Zhang of the General Staff Department asks to see you!" ”

Li Yunzhong put down the pen and replied, "Let him come in!" ”

"Your Majesty! Great joy! Your Majesty, great joy! ”

As soon as Zhang Suimou came in, he shouted victoriously, as if he had encountered a great happy event.

Li Yunzhong saw that he was happy and was also affected, so he made a rare joke: "Why, looking at your happy appearance, could it be that Fourth Brother Zhang gave birth to a son!" ”

Zhang Sui Mou said happily: "Emperor Qiqi, Li Chunfa led the army to capture Liaoyang, Xianfeng Xiaoer fled to Changchun, was intercepted by our army halfway, and captured the king of a country, isn't this a great joy?" Even the former Ming Zhu Yuanzhang did not have merits! ”

Li Yunzhong didn't care, since the Han Dynasty captured Beijing, he didn't take the Manchu Qing to heart, Xianfeng Xiao'er was alive or dead, he didn't care even more, and replied lightly: "That's it?" ”

Zhang Suimou was stunned, and he didn't understand why the emperor was unhappy, could it be that Li Chunfa made this great contribution to make the emperor suspicious? However, Li Chunfa and I are good friends, and I can't help it, I don't know what to say, so I replied sneeringly: "Your Majesty, Xianfeng maybe...... Maybe it's fake, Li Chunfa can't tell the truth from the fake, it's really damned. ”

Li Yunzhong saw that his preface did not match his words, and the donkey's head was not in the horse's mouth, and he angrily reprimanded: "What is really fake, if it is fake, does Li Chunfa dare to report it, how did you become the chief of staff!" ”

Zhang Suimou regretted it very much, and secretly scolded himself for being confused, if the emperor was not happy about this matter, let the military department Shangshu come to report it, thinking that he could ask for a lottery, but he didn't expect to touch the mold!

Li Yunzhong asked, "What else is going on?" ”

Zhang Suimou whispered: "Emperor Qiqi, General Li also asked for instructions on how to deal with Emperor Xianfeng, after all, he was the king of a country, whether to kill or stay, and the emperor has to decide." ”

If a few years ago, Li Yunzhong's center was soft, maybe he would have let him go, but now Li Yunzhong has no such plan, glanced at Min Shu, and said softly: "Since you don't surrender, kill it!" ”

Zhang Suimou put his mind at ease, since the emperor planned to kill Xianfeng, Li Chunfa's credit became smaller, and if he became smaller, he would not have to worry about high merit, Li Chunfa's little life was saved, and he praised from the bottom of his heart:

"The emperor is wise, Xianfeng has done a lot of evil, perverse, I don't know how many of us have been killed, the emperor executed Xianfeng, it is really happy! Weichen admired. ”

Li Yunzhong is now more and more unable to guess what these ministers are thinking, like Lu Jianying, Ye Mingchen and others often think about it for three or four days before they come to do things, and how they respond is within their expectations, while Zhang Suimou and others are not so smart, they are often flustered and cranky when they are scolded by Li Yunzhong, and Li Yunzhong is helpless.

"If you don't have anything to do, you can go down!"

Zhang Suimou immediately bowed down and retreated as if he were amnesty.

Li Yunzhong saw that there was no one in the hall, and asked Min Shu, "Have you ever seen Xianfeng?" What kind of person is he? ”

Min Shu was extremely awkward, thought for a while and replied: "I've seen it three times, but I heard that the emperor ...... Xianfeng is very lascivious, often drafts girls, and ......"

Li Yunzhong then asked, "And what?" ”

Min Shu whispered: "And often entangled with some widows, Ama has persuaded many times, but the emperor insisted on going his own way, and even the words of the ministers of the court and the central government were not taken to heart." ”

Li Yunzhong played with taste: "Then he is a faint king?" ”

Saying that Xianfeng is a faint king, Li Yunzhong absolutely does not believe it, the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom offensive is so fierce, but the Manchu Qing Dynasty has no troops available, it all depends on Xianfeng's proper governance to protect the Qing Dynasty.

Sure enough, Min Shu retorted: "Xianfeng is also very diligent and loves the people, and cares about the suffering of the people, for example, there was a drought in Henan, and the local officials embezzled relief money and grain. (To be continued......)
