Is that so? "Zhu Jun on the Golden Palace only came out of Mu Tianbo's matter at this time: Erpin, the original depressed mood was slightly better, Mu Tianbo has been with him for more than ten years, although the relationship between the two is not as good as Zhu Jun and Zhou Mubai due to the difference in age, but there are still feelings in it. Zhu Jun diluted the sadness in his heart, and then said: "Peter Tsar has the heart to return to the Heavenly Empire, and his heart is very comforted, even so, according to the rules, Russia must be a vassal to the Ming Dynasty, this should be no problem, right?" ”

Vishniak first breathed a sigh of relief, then frowned, and called his minister? I'm afraid this is a bit embarrassing, Russia is different from those European countries, those small kingdoms, principalities are very common things to put down their bodies, but Russia has always claimed to have inherited the Eastern Roman Empire, and the tsar is also the meaning of the emperor of the Third Roman Empire, the first empire naturally refers to the strongest period of Rome, the second empire refers to the period of the Byzantine Empire, and Russia calls itself the Third Empire, so that the emperor of the Third Roman Empire is a vassal to the Ming Emperor? Vishniak didn't dare to agree even if he had the audacity, even if Peter forgave him, and those always proud Russian princes didn't tear him to pieces?

"Your Majesty, I want this catty," Vishniak felt very embarrassed, peace talks with the Ming Dynasty were a major matter related to the life and death of Russia, and the issue of being a minister was also something that he, the envoy, could not touch, let alone agree without authorization, he paused: "I hope that you can make a different proposal, and Russia is willing to compensate in other ways."

"In what way?" Zhu Jun's expression today was very weird

"Uh. Vishniak was stunned for a moment, to be honest, he really couldn't find any way to compensate, Siberia is a precious thug But it has been mastered by the Ming Dynasty, money is impossible, Russia's finances are already overwhelmed, where is there money to feed this wolf, Russia has it, Daming has it, and Daming has it, Russia lacks too much.

Forget it, Zhu Jun waved his hand very tolerantly: "Since it is to negotiate peace, both sides have to be more or less tolerant, the United knows the history of your country, yes, the United is not willing to pursue any name, Russia is willing to be friendly with my Ming Dynasty, this is Peter's meaning, the United also deeply thinks so, this peace alliance is the first to run, as for the specific terms, you go to the Ming Dynasty to finalize it." From now on, Siberia belongs to the Ming Dynasty, and the Ming army in Siberia will not cross the Ural Mountains to launch any attack on Russian territory

His Majesty Visniak suddenly became excited, what he didn't expect was. This Ming Emperor is so easy to speak, and he thinks that if the Ming Dynasty were Russia, the Russian Tsar would give up such an opportunity to extort so easily. Remembering that I have accomplished my mission. He immediately became excited, and hurriedly said, "Thank you very much, Your Majesty. ”

Wait to beat away Vishniak. Zhu Jun's face couldn't help but turn cold again, and he beckoned to the little guizi, and then said, "Summons Li Dingguo to meet immediately." There was also Wang Qiu, who "informed the Ministry of Rites and asked them to finalize the terms of the peace treaty as much as possible."

Bu Guizi, the thug who obeyed the order, nodded and went in response. ，

The news of Mu Tianbo's resignation spread quickly, first the news was published in the Di newspaper, and then there was a discussion on the street corner, and later, all kinds of messages came out, after all, Mu Tianbo was a cabinet assistant, and suddenly resigned, and the emperor also directly agreed, what kind of meaning does this mean so that everyone is a little confused, yes, some people believe that the emperor is sympathetic to Mu Tianbo's old age and allows him to take care of his old age, and some people think that it may be that Mu Tianbo has lost his holy family, after all, everyone in the world knows, Zhou Mubai is the scholar who has the best relationship with the emperor.

But soon, this and the rumors were broken, just when Mu Tianbo left Nanjing, almost all the officials in the imperial court saw him off at the post station outside the city, and this catty, at that time, the royal carriage also hurriedly went out of the city gate, under the support of a team of guards, Zhu Jun, who was wearing civilian clothes, held Mu Tianbo's hand, and behind him was the mighty guards, and the officials who saw him off were accompanied from afar.

"Your Majesty" Mu Tianbo said in a low voice, but he couldn't speak.

The spring breeze was blowing, but there was a bleak atmosphere, Zhu Jun said silently: "Mu Aiqing, Lian is here to see you off, I wish you a smooth journey." ”

"The old minister is dead, the emperor has every opportunity, Mu Tianbo, who should not waste time for the old minister, replied cautiously.

Zhu Jun was silent, he naturally understood that Mu Tianbo was a catty, cautious person, and he said it better, calling him to abide by the way of the minister, but getting along with such a courtier also made Zhu Jun a little depressed, and he hesitated for a moment before he said: "Mu Aiqing said this, the heart is clear, the companion is like a tiger, this ideal must be understood by Mu Aiqing, and the heart is also clear, but why should Mu Aiqing be so cautious?" Lian may be at fault, but he said that he hasn't treated his courtiers harshly, right? Especially an old minister like you, if I don't have you, I'm afraid."

Zhu Jun added the word you wastefully. to show respect for Mu Tianbo.

Mu Tianbo stopped tremblingly. Said solemnly: "The emperor is a bright monarch, everyone in the world understands that the old minister is just guarding his family, please don't blame the emperor" A small mountain, it is windy here. You better drive back to the palace Zhu Jun shook his head: "Don't worry, the union is sending it."

In fact, speaking of which, although they have been together for more than ten years, Zhu Jun has always respected and increased the ministers, and Mu Tianbo is loyal and conscientious to Zhu Jun as an emperor, even so, it is difficult for the two to get close.

Mu Aiqing, Lenovo asked, who do you think should be promoted to take over as a cabinet assistant? ”

Mu Yaobo said: "According to the posture calendar, the only people who can be qualified to assist are Yang Side and Zhou Mubai, and the candidate in the emperor's heart must be Zhou Mubai, right?"

Zhu Jun nodded secretly, to be honest, Zhou Mubai is indeed an excellent candidate in his mind, after all, this person is clever and flexible, and he knows the economy well, which is far better than Yang Side, but he still wants to hear Mu Tianbo's opinion.

"Your Majesty, the auxiliary scholar is the most important position of the Ming Dynasty, once you can't find a suitable candidate, it is often disadvantageous to the country, yes, Weichen will never dare to deceive the emperor, speaking of it. The emperor already has a candidate, but the old minister doesn't think so. Mu Tianbo paused: "Although Zhou Mubai is talented and intelligent, and he has also made achievements in people's livelihood, he is compared to Yang Side. But it seems too narrow-minded, and the narrow-mindedness that the old minister said is not open-minded, but old-minded. ”

"The emperor loves to start the smart ministers, not the court those officials who follow the old ways, this old minister knows, but has the emperor ever thought that the country needs to change the law and innovate when the country is strong, you often say this, but if you only seek innovation, I am afraid it will not be successful, the new must be reformed, and the old rules must be observed, otherwise this will not be chaotic? Although Yang Side is conservative and not very smart, there is only one point that Zhou Mubai can't compare, Zhou Mubai specializes in a little, but Yang Side has a vision of the overall situation, if you talk about people's livelihood, Yang Side is not as good as Zhou Mubai, on the familiarity with the law, he is not as good as the officials of the Criminal Department, on the etiquette law, not as good as the officials of the Ministry of Rites, but he can distinguish which is more important and knows that there is a priority. What to do first, what to wait, some things can be aggressive, some things need to be carefully considered, this seems to have little effect, but it contains a great truth, the recovery of the university scholar was originally the position of overseeing the overall situation, yes, the old minister thought that Yang Side replaced the old minister. It's a good thing, the emperor thinks he is conservative, but the old minister thinks that what the court lacks now is not innovation, but stability

Zhu Jun silently nodded Lu You: "Think about it again." Mu Aiqing, after returning to Yunnan, Lianke will often write letters to report to your mansion, and at that time, you must remember to reply. Otherwise, well, Lian will go to Yunnan in person to visit you. ”

Zhu Jun deliberately said a no-joke. But this kind of scene, but no one can laugh, so I have to give up, the two chatted and walked, and arrived at the train station in Xicheng, Nanjing, where there are a lot of people, if Zhu Jun appears, I am afraid it will cause some chaos, yes, Zhu Jun told a few more words, and then went back to the palace.

The wheels are rolling, but Zhu Jun sitting in the carriage is quite uneasy, there is indeed a lot of truth in Mu Tianbo's words, so much so that Zhu Jun is asking himself: "Is the pace of innovation too fast, the change of things has a gradual process, maybe Mu Tianbo's words are not unreasonable." Zhou Mubai has made great achievements in the economy, but this cabinet is supplemented, where is it just the economy, hey, this matter has to be carefully considered

The signing of the peace treaty proceeded very well. In order to let the good news spread back to China quickly, Vishniak deliberately let one of his attendants go back to report the news first, it is said that the Ming side also sent a commissioner to Siberia to order the number of legions stationed there not to be troubled, and after another three days, Vishniak began to prepare to return to China, with him, there is also a messenger of the Ming, the Ming means that since the peace treaty was signed, the exchange of visits is naturally a natural thing, by the way. He could also go and visit the Ming army in Rostov-on-Don. Together with the Ming army in Rostov-on-Don, he returned home.

For this suggestion, Vishniak was naturally happy to accept it, his mission went smoothly, and even sometimes he himself was a little skeptical, whether it was a dream, but seeing the terms of the peace treaty in black and white, he was relieved.

Along the way, the group first boarded the train to the north and arrived in Beiping, and then in order to improve the degree, the group all rode out of the customs

Along the way, we passed through Siberia. What Vishniak saw was that the Ming troops stationed in Siberia showed no signs of military action, and they even began to guide the migrants to clear the land. As well as the protection of resource workshops in some places, Vishniak relieved his heart, and the Ming really kept his promise, but thinking that this huge Siberia had become the territory of the Ming Dynasty, and the Ming Dynasty's policy of opening up the wasteland was obviously intended to occupy this place for a long time. This made Vishniak's mood very low. Russia has been devouring the surrounding territory for centuries, but what it didn't expect is that now it is vomiting all at once.

On this point, Vishniak began to be angry with the line, and the princess Sophia, who had been in power, rose up, if it weren't for the fact that Sophia didn't know the times and stood with the Manchus, maybe the wise His Majesty Peter would have led Russia to the side of the Ming Dynasty. differ

Hand. Li Shao, this Siberia, is absolutely impossible to be invaded by others.

However, fortunately, His Majesty Tsar Peter made a wise decision to put Russia on the side of victory from the beginning, and his heart was full of regret and some relief.

Half a month later, the group finally arrived in Moscow, the capital of Eastern Europe, covered in snow for most of the time except for a few months. The church bells are melodious, there are not many people on the road, and it is common to see some crippled veterans walking drunk and drunk on their shoulders, staring at every pound with bad intentions, passers-by, some of them are drunk in the snow, and they never get up again, just waiting for the team to collect the corpses to pass by and move them away.

Unkempt beggars abound. As a result of the perennial war, the serf economy of the whole of Russia has suffered great damage, even in the city of Moscow, not to mention how miserable the serfs in those villages are.

Vishniak has long been accustomed to this, and did not show too much sympathy, he took the Ming envoy directly into the Kremlin, met with Peter Tsar, the tsar was very friendly to the arrival of the Ming envoys, all the hospitality etiquette was the best, when he learned that Vishniak did not fail in his mission to sign the peace treaty, and the price he expected to pay was much less, he was even more enthusiastic, but the attitude of those princes towards the Ming envoy was not so friendly, However, Peter strictly commanded no one to speak disrespectfully to the envoys. There was nothing wrong with it.

After visiting the Tsar, the envoy was naturally ready to return home, not the same as when he came. His route to return home was to reach Rostov first. Then take a boat through the Mediterranean Sea and return home. For this reason, Peter specially sent a team of palace guards to escort the Ming envoy who had come from afar to Rostov-on-Don.

In Rostov-on-Don, the dragoon regiment had already begun to evacuate, the Western naval division had already arrived in the port of Rostov-on-Don, and in the absence of the enemy, the dragoons were not in a hurry, although they had already passed a month. But the Russians did not protest at all, everything went in an orderly manner, boxes were loaded onto the ship, and in a few days, the dragoons would be ready to board. The arrival of the Ming envoys did not slow down their progress, and two days later, the flotilla officially raised its sails and anchored, and the Russian officials in the harbor "said goodbye." Slowly departing from the port. Head west

On the main ship of the Western Fire Division, Bai Cheng and Shi Lang were chatting in the command cabin, and now that the task was completed, both of them were at ease and relaxed.

At this time, the Ming envoy with two soldiers with a solemn face to enter the door, two catties, the governor was stunned at first, but when he saw that the envoy was wearing a winged crown dress, with a holy appearance, he immediately understood a little bit in his heart.

Bai Cheng, the governor of the Royal Dragoon Regiment, and Shi Langke, the governor of the Western Naval Division? The envoy carried out the etiquette meticulously.

Wechen stood up with the two of them.

"The emperor's secret decree, the two of them listened to the envoy take out a yellow silk, and arched his hands high.

Minister, the two of them knelt down together.

Fengtian carried the emperor, and the edict said: After leaving the Russian harbor, Bai Chengxiao Shilang was ordered to return immediately within one day, attack the port of Rostov, and land there. Chin this

"Minister, obey the order,

In Siberia, army after army began to assemble, and the governors arrived at the city of Dhara on the eastern side of the Ural Mountains, where the officers from the General Staff Headquarters simultaneously pronounced the order, and the army corps, which had thought that the war was over, quickly assembled and prepared for war.

At the Nanjing General Staff, Zhu Jun personally arrived here to observe the General Staff's deduction of the war, and then said to Li Dingguo with an unkind face: "Li Aiqing, the United States suddenly tore up the peace treaty while signing the peace treaty, and what it did was to defeat Russia once and for all. If this battle can be successful, the whole army will be rewarded, and you will order all the legions not to be too cautious, and take Moscow, so as to eliminate the great trouble of our henchmen

Weichen obeyed Li Dingguo's face was also excited, although Zhu Jun tore up the peace treaty to make some officials in the court very dissatisfied, they thought that the Celestial Empire should be based on faithfulness, but for Li Dingguo, as long as he could eliminate his opponent at the smallest cost, the so-called faithfulness was empty talk. Soldiers don't get tired of deceit, that's it.

Zhu Jun sneered: "What Da Ming wants to do now is to eliminate any future troubles, the so-called faithfulness, let the future generations do it, and carry this black cauldron." If the people of the future generations want to scold, they must scold the couplet. ”

"Your Majesty, even if you want to scold, you will be scolded by barbarians, but the people of the Celestial Empire will definitely be grateful to you, the so-called indefatigable deeds, and who is relying on faith to complete Li Dingguo is also deeply infected, he looks at this issue from the perspective of a soldier, and does not feel that the emperor is wrong.

After returning to the palace, everything was entrusted to Li Aiqing and the soldiers. ”
