Chapter Seventy-Four: The Beginning of the Conspiracy
The girl was almost raped, and Brauchitsch, as a father, would never bear it.
A few days later Brauchitsch was summoned to the Kremlin by order of Empress Catherine herself.
Shortly after entering the Kremlin gates, Brauchitsch saw Rasputin approaching him.
It's really a goddamn enemy!
Brauchitsch muttered forward, he wanted to beat the bastard, but he had no choice but to give up on the idea because he couldn't beat him.
"Hi ......! Brauchitsch, how are you? Rasputin greeted Brauchitsch loudly.
The yellow teeth of that mouth are golden in the sun.
"No, it sucks. What about you? Brauchitsch looked at Rasputin without a good word.
"Oh, it looks like your luck really isn't going to be good.
But I have a way to get you to transfer, your second daughter, Peggy, is a witch.
Just send her to me, and I will cast out the evil spirits from her. ”
Rasputin said to Brauchitsch in a serious manner.
"Fuck off, Rasputin, I don't care if you mess with someone else's house, get it to my house.
I'll make you pay! Brauchitsch looked at the wheath viciously.
"Oh, don't be angry.
I'm doing this for your own good. Rasputin gave Brauchitsch an eerie smile.
"This is the last warning, if you dare to harass my family again, I will kill you." Brauchitsch endured the stench from Rasputin's mouth and gave the most vicious warning.
"Huh!
God bless you! Brauchitsch! Rasputin waved his hand and walked away.
"Damn stinky." Brauchitsch glanced at Rasputin fiercely and continued to walk towards the Kremlin.
Inside the chamber, Catherine was waiting for Brauchitsch.
Duke Peter stood beside Catherine and looked at Brauchitsch with a gloomy face.
"Brauchitsch, I heard that the son of the generalissimo of the Ming Dynasty likes your daughter very much, is there such a thing?" Catherine did not wait for Brauchitsch to speak, and spoke preemptively.
"Nope!" Brauchitsch replied very simply, he knew that it was difficult for the Ming people to like the Russians.
Putting aside the living habits for the time being, just the appearance of the Russians is unacceptable to the Ming people.
"Oh, I've heard that ...... took your daughter Peggy home at the dance the other day.
Could it be that ...... I heard the wrong message? ”
Hearing Brauchitsch's categorical veto, Catherine was stunned, she didn't expect Brauchitsch to answer so simply.
"Your Majesty!
Daming Li Gongzi did send Peggy home, but Li Gongzi would never like Peggy.
I understand the Ming people, they don't like our Russian women.
They prefer the kind of slender and gentle, and in the Ming Dynasty, only the low-level vulgar family will like a tall and strong woman like us Russian.
And......! My Peggy is ...... and really ......, and a little unpretty. ”
Brauchitsch was a diplomatist, and he cleverly avoided that ugly word.
Catherine and Duke Peter looked at each other, apparently having heard of Peggy's countenance.
"Brauchitsch, do you think we in Russia need to rely on the Ming Dynasty?" Duke Peter suddenly asked without a clue.
Brauchitsch's face changed, and years of diplomatic experience had taught him that it was a trap.
How can you answer satisfactorily?
"If we are still fighting the coalition forces, we need to rely on the Ming Dynasty, otherwise what awaits Russia will only be the destruction of the country.
If we choose to reconcile with the coalition and form an alliance. Then we don't need the Ming Dynasty, because at that time we were already the enemies of the Ming Dynasty. ”
Sure enough, it was a veteran diplomat, and the two ends of the answer were not leaky.
"Oh, if we choose to reconcile with the coalition forces, do you think we can defeat the Ming?"
"Absolutely!
If the Ming Dynasty is unprepared, it will definitely be defeated by the coalition forces that have an absolute advantage in numbers.
Moreover, the Ming Dynasty will definitely suffer heavy losses in this battle. ”
Catherine nodded, for so far she was satisfied with Brauchitsch's words.
"In that case, Brauchitsch, would you like to trap the generalissimo?" Catherine's words, like a thunderbolt from the blue, blew Brauchitsch stunned on the spot.
It took a while for Brauchitsch to recover from his shock.
"Her Majesty!
Now booby trap the generalissimo of the Ming Dynasty, this ...... This will immediately cause a backlash from the Ming army.
Their equipment is better than ours, their reaction speed is faster than that of our army, and their combat capability is even more incomparable.
If the generalissimo is hastily trapped, I am afraid that Moscow will not be able to protect it. ”
Brauchitsch was frightened, he did not expect Catherine to be in such a hurry.
It's not that you didn't start it until after March, why did you suddenly get anxious, did something happen that you didn't know?
"The plan is ahead of schedule, we want to attack as soon as possible.
It's up to you to lure the Generalissimo of the Ming Dynasty into your house and kill him.
No problem! Duke Peter, next to him, spoke.
That's fine, especially the tone.
Brauchitsch was shocked again, and he wanted to get Li Xiao to his own house to be killed.
How fierce and terrible the revenge of the Ming people will be, Brauchitsch knows very well.
They can make the Russians who slaughtered the sixty-four tuns in Jiangdong into wax people and put them in the Wuying Hall of the Ming Dynasty.
Da Ming, who holds a grudge like this, killed Generalissimo Li Xiao in his own home.
Then his own family is the public enemy of hundreds of millions of Ming people, even if there is no war. Assassination is absolutely indispensable, and there will be no good days in the future.
But if he didn't agree, Catherine and Duke Peter were staring at her.
The look in his eyes was like that of an executioner looking at how to knife a prisoner.
It's obvious!
Promise is death, and failure to promise is death.
If you promise, you will die slowly, and if you don't promise, you will ......, and it is estimated that you will soon see God.
"Please Your Majesty give the minister a time to prepare, there is no room for mistakes in such a major event, let the minister go back and plan carefully."
There was no choice but to take on this errand, and as for the future, Brauchitsch had not yet thought about it.
"You're agreeing." Ekaterina said expressionlessly.
"For the sake of Russia, for the sake of Her Majesty the Empress, Brauchitsch is willing to do anything."
"Good! Well, Duke Peter will inform you of the specific time. Catherine nodded, and Brauchitsch clearly noticed a slight smile on Catherine's face.
Bet right!
At least now there is no worry about life and death!
Brauchitsch breathed a sigh of relief, but then became depressed again.
Do you really want to kill Generalissimo Li Xiao in your own home? This is a fatal thing!
There's no way, let's take it one step at a time.
Catherine was gone, and Duke Peter glanced at Brauchitsch and left.
Brauchitsch was left alone in the council hall, and for a long time no one came looking for him.
Brauchitsch had to come out on his own!
I returned home full of doubts, not understanding what was going on.
I thought about it in the office for a long time, but I didn't come up with a clue.
Li Xiao was the generalissimo of the Ming Dynasty, especially in a foreign country during the war.
Even if you go to the Kremlin, you have to take a battalion of guards with you.
The guards of this battalion were not only armed with Acre rifles, but also a box gun per man.
It is said that there is also a mortar platoon, and it is really enough to fight the little guards in his own house, which is not enough for people to stuff their teeth.
It's easier said than done to assassinate him at home.
Brauchitsch's hair was gray, and he couldn't think of a good solution.
Peggy's life has not been easy these days, and the ladies who come to the Brauchitsch family like to meet this second lady, whom she does not usually meet.
When many of the ladies saw Peggy, they just laughed and said something insincere, and then continued to talk about the gossip in Moscow.
Soon, however, Peggy sadly discovers that she is the biggest source of gossip in Moscow lately.
Some people say that Peggy is a witch and gave the crown prince of Daming a drug to make the crown prince fall in love with her.
Many people believe this rumor, after all, Peggy's dignity is there. As long as you don't have a blind conscience, no one will say a word about beauty.
But it was this dignity that defeated the celebrities of Moscow and captured the heart of the crown prince of the Ming Dynasty in the ball with beautiful women.
Even Peggy's sister, Angelina, came to Peggy for the so-called Ecstasy.
Peggy was so annoyed that she didn't understand how the gap between the same daughter saved by her parents could be so big.
This kind of shadowless thing, Angelina, who is two years older than herself, actually believes it.
And as the rumors spread more and more, more and more noblewomen came to Brauchitsch's house.
Those celebrities who used to look down on Peggy at all now took the initiative to chat with Peggy.
But beyond that, I always want to ask Peggy about the recipe.
The sister who is not very good at her chest and brain actually took the initiative to lead the way.
said that his sister didn't love going out since she was a child, and she only knew how to read in her father's study.
Nonsense!
The old lady wants to go out, but someone has to pay attention to the old lady.
Those celebrities who look noble are actually snobbish.
In the past, Brauchitsch's title was not high, and the official position was not high, and they never looked at the two Brauchitsch sisters in the eye.
If you don't shut yourself in your study and read, what can you do?
The family couldn't stay, and Peggy had no choice but to hide.
Out of sight, out of mind!
Sometimes being an ostrich is also a good choice.
Although it was a time of war, Moscow is the capital of Russia and there is still something to play.
The Bolshoi Theatre, for example, plays ballets and operas all day long.
War did not stop the pleasures of the upper nobles.
Listening to opera is also part of the pleasure.
The coachman took the nurse and Peggy to the Bolshoi Theatre, where the opera "Pirates" was being staged.
On stage, a group of strangely dressed guys with boat-shaped hats on their heads and blindfolds on their faces are scurrying around.
From time to time, he also held a prop gun and fired two shots at the sky or the audience, which scared the ladies and ladies in the front row to squeak and scream.
It can be called to be called, and it will still give the pirates a huge round of applause.
Because they came late, Peggy and the nurse could only find a place at the back.
Anyway, it's not really to watch the opera, it's just to hide from the quiet.
At times like these, it doesn't matter where you go.
On the stage was a bearded pirate, with a harpoon in his hand, stepping on a man's head.
I saw him raise his harpoon high and struggle down.
"Ah......h The ladies and ladies in the front row had already covered their eyes and didn't dare to look.
Peggy was also taken aback, when she was stroking her chest with her little hand.
I heard a deep voice beside me: "Hello! Miss Peggy, we're meeting again. ”
Then Peggy asked, with a disgusting stench.
"Why are you here?" Peggy was horrified.
Because she saw that the nurse had been caught by a man, and she was holding a gun around her neck.
The nurse was so frightened that she trembled like a quail, and she couldn't even speak.
"I knew as soon as you went out, my people followed you all the time.
I also let them go to your house to force you out of the house.
What do you think?
Come with me, I booked a room in the hotel next door. ”
Rasputin bared his big yellow teeth, and his bad breath was so thick that Peggy almost threw up.
"Don't mess around, if you dare to mess around, I'll call someone, that's not good for anyone." Peggy's threat was a little inward-looking.
"You shout, no one will come by shouting a throat.
In Moscow, no one dared to offend me.
You see, I slept with so many women in Moscow. What did their man say?
No one dared to do anything to me, for behind me stood Her Majesty the Empress. ”
"I'm not interested in knowing!
Why do you keep staring at me, I'm not pretty. Peggy broke down.
This thing has slept almost all over the noblewomen and socialites of Moscow, and he really doesn't care about such a thing.
On the contrary, she just had rumors with the crown prince of Daming.
Now, if there are rumors with Rasputdin, then ...... I don't know what it will look like.
"What do you want?" Peggy was like a helpless little sheep.
"Why are you women like this, don't you know what I want?
In Moscow, there is no woman that I Rasputin can't get.
And you, Peggy! Nor can it be an exception. ”
"I'm a friend of the crown prince of the Ming Dynasty!" Helpless, Peggy had an idea and sacrificed Li Lin out.
"Oh, I'm scared, where is he? The Ming people don't come to the opera, they just go to the bathing center to have fun.
I put the rumors out, and if you don't go my way, then I'll tell everyone that you're a witch.
Do you know how they treat witches?
You will be tied to a cross and burned alive with fire.
Your fair skin will be burned like charcoal, and you think about how miserable it will be. ”
"If you say it, someone will believe it?" Peggy's face turned pale.
"Surely there will be people who believe that I am the Patriarch. Patriarch of Moscow, everyone will believe what I say.
Don't say anything about the son of the generalissimo of the Ming Dynasty, even if it is your father Brauchitsch, there is nothing to do.
They can only watch you being burned alive. ”
