Chapter 7 Do You Want to Be a Royal J.S. of the British Empire? (Ask for collections, ask for monthly passes, ask for recommendations, ask for follow-up)
Zhuge Weidao was stunned by what Natalie said!
What the hell was this woman thinking? It's not appropriate to be a good Mrs. Zhuge , but she wants to be a wife to a British crown prince, and she has to give birth to a child for others, and she still wants to be with herself after giving birth, and she also said that the British royal family and parliament will not interfere...... Was there so much chaos in European royal circles in the 19th century?
Natalie saw that Zhuge was silent, and thought that the other party was thinking about the feasibility of this plan.
But in Natalie's opinion, this plan is completely feasible!
York and the Duke of Albany are both 62 years old, how many more days can they bounce? As soon as he dies, Natalie's child will be the King or Queen of England, and Natalie will be the Queen Mother of England, and then no one will be able to take care of it. She can take the annuity of the British royal family and openly fly with Zhuge for the Tao. And for Zhuge Weidao, sleeping with the Queen Mother of England is much less risky than sleeping with Queen Daming.
After all, in Europe in this era, it is too normal for royal couples to play separately. Aren't the kings and dukes of the English Hanoverian dynasty like this? Who is not a bunch of illegitimate children, but there are few who are born in wedlock, and there is no successor to them - the king of Hanover is now left with a few very old men and two very small children, and the corresponding crown has two crowns, one is the throne of the British Empire, and the other is the throne of the Kingdom of Hanover...... The two children happen to be one person and one king, and if something happens, it will be cut off by the king.
So as long as Natalie can give birth to one or two children for the precarious Hanoverian dynasty, she will be a great hero, and no one will care about her private life at all...... If it weren't for the wrong race of Zhuge Weidao, she could even ask Zhuge Weidao, a warm-hearted person, to do the old duke a favor.
In contrast, it is not so convenient to go to Daming to be the queen. Today, the eldest son is still a little boy, so the probability of Natalie surviving the little emperor is not high, and even if there is a day, she will be old.
And the court of Daming is not as chaotic as the British royal family, otherwise Zhuge Youde would not have asked Natalie to stay......
"No, no, no...... This option doesn't work. Zhuge Weidao had already remembered who the Duke of York and Albany was, "The British crown prince is too old, he will definitely not live for a few years, or even live to ascend the throne, and most of them will not have the ability to cloth." If he dies, Prince William becomes the presumptive heir, and when Prince William ascends the throne, Princess Victoria becomes the new presumptive heir. ”
Hearing Zhuge Weidao say this, Natalie was completely relieved, because she felt that Zhuge Weidao's memory was recovering......
"For the sake of the Tao," said Natalie with a smile, "you don't have to worry, I will give birth to a future king or queen of England, it's not a problem...... Even if the British crown prince is completely incapable, I can get pregnant! ”
"You ......" Zhuge Weidao doesn't know what to say?
Why is this Natalie so casual? It looks quite serious, but I didn't expect it to be so wild inside......
"No way!" Zhuge Weidao's face was gloomy, and he said sharply: "Natalie. Pavrovna, you have to go with me to Daming! ”
Seeing that her lover was angry, Natalie immediately relented and said in a low voice: "Don't be angry, honey, I listen to you." ”
Zhuge Weidao didn't expect that this Rakshasa Grand Duke would actually "coax in seconds", and he was embarrassed to be angry anymore, and was thinking about how to appease Natalie...... By the way, I left her down to spend the night with me. Natalie saw that Zhuge Weidao's face softened, so she changed her words and said, "But Nikolai. Pavrovich was inclined to let me go to England. Although he didn't say it explicitly, I understood his thoughts. ”
Nicholas I proposed the construction of the Sovereign-class ironclad in the Rakshasa Kingdom, which was actually an additional condition for sending Natalie to England...... It's just that the tsar can't say it explicitly, so it sounds like he sold his sister, and it would be undignified.
Moreover, it is also more in the interests of the Rakshasa Empire to let Natalie give birth to a future British monarch. Because the foreign policy of the Ming Empire has always been relatively moderate and relatively easy to appease. Britain is different, the British Empire did whatever it took to defeat Napoleon!
In addition, the next direction of expansion of the Rakshasa Empire was not in Central Asia, but in the Balkans and Asia Minor. The Ming Dynasty was so far away from the Balkans and Asia Minor that it was impossible to intervene with arms, while Britain could have intervened in conjunction with France, Austria, and Prussia.
So Nicholas I believed that stabilizing England was the key to the Rakshasa Empire's successful recovery of Constantinople!
"My dear," said Natalie at this time, "if you want to elope, then I have no problem...... I still have a little savings, you're a millionaire, and we can live happily everywhere. ”
"So I'm a millionaire!" Zhuge said for the Dao heart: "But where is my million silver yuan? I knew that I had 30,000 yuan in activity funds, and the check book was still with Guo Xiaobao. This is going to elope with Natalie, is there still a guarantee of a happy life in the future? Do you want to eat Natalie's soft rice? But she is a Rakshasa duchess, and there must be some manors, serfs, and real estate, but there will definitely not be too much cash to elope...... This money is going to be spent, and in the future, it will be a poor couple who will mourn everything. ”
After pondering this, Zhuge Weidao felt as if he couldn't elope. You have to bring her back to Daming legally, and then Ming Media is marrying.
Thinking of this, Zhuge Weidao said to Natalie. Pavrovna said: "Honey, you can rest assured that I will go and convince Nikolai . Pavrovich's ...... If not, we'll find a way to leave. ”
"Well," Natalie nodded, "Okay, I'll listen to you." ”
Listen to me? That's great.
Zhuge thought to himself: "Although this Natalie is a little, she is still very well-behaved......"
"Dear Natalie. Pavrovna," Zhuge Weidao looked at Natalie, who looked like a porcelain doll, "tonight...... Can you stay with me? ”
Natalie was stunned for a moment, and then she understood what Zhuge wanted to do for Dao.
However, contrary to Zhuge Weidao's expectations, this somewhat "debauched" woman actually shook her head, "Dear for Dao, I must save my first night for the wedding night!" ”
What? First night? Zhuge Weidao's eyes widened, and he said in his heart: "There is such a thing? She's actually a bit of a chaste martyr? ”
Natalie smiled at Zhuge Wei a little apologetically: "Although I would love to stay, it was your late father who once told me my fortune that I would ...... before the wedding night There will be unbearable disasters! So my big brother Alexander. Pavlovich also asked me to keep the first night until ......"
This dad is so good!
Zhuge said for the Dao heart: "I really met a good father this time...... It's so thoughtful that I've even thought about it! ”
Thinking of this, Zhuge nodded for the Dao: "Okay, I'll wait!" ”
......
The 10th day of the 11th month of the fifth year of the Ming Dynasty (the Ming calendar).
Beijing.
In the northwest of the Forbidden City, in the magnificent Wuwang Mansion, several old men wearing scarves, cranes, and feather fans are sitting together, chatting while eating breakfast.
These old men are all dressed as Zhuge reincarnation, and they are naturally the characters of the Zhuge family. And he is not an ordinary character, but the military division of the Zhuge family. In the Zhuge family, only those who have won the title of military advisor can dress up as lupine fans, scarves, and cranes. Only by becoming a military advisor can you enter the decision-making circle of the Zhuge family, have more family resources, and master the core secrets of the Zhuge family.
And after entering the decision-making circle of the Zhuge family, having more family resources, and mastering the core secrets of the family, these military advisors of the Zhuge family can often achieve great achievements. Become an important person in the military, political, business, academic and other circles of the Ming Dynasty.
It is precisely because of these outstanding military advisors that the Zhuge family has been able to prosper for a long time after the death of Zhuge Wuzhong Wang, and has been manipulating the development direction of the entire Ming Empire openly and secretly.
It is no exaggeration to say that the current Ming Dynasty is led by the eight great families on the surface, but in fact, the leaders have always been the Zhuge family!
And under the control of these Zhuge military advisors of the "for" generation, the Ming Empire still seems to be on the right path, the national strength continues to flourish, and the situation of peace and prosperity continues to be maintained, whether it is the number of people or industrial and agricultural production, it dares to be called the first in the world!
Although the British Empire in the West has slowly become hostile to the Ming Dynasty since the Napoleonic Wars, the change in Britain's position has long been in the clever calculation of the Zhuge family's military divisions.
And long before Napoleon was defeated, Zhuge Youde, the army division of the Zhuge family, had already laid out the situation...... You're in control.
And the incident of "Tsar's concession and the rebellion of the Petersburg Guards" that just happened was, of course, also in the "clever calculation" of several major military divisions, so at breakfast today, these old men who were "for" began to "calculate" this matter.
"The old man pinched his fingers, there should be news of the Petersburg Rebellion today, this Tsar ...... Most likely still Nikoladan! ”
The one who spoke was a fat Zhuge in his fifties, who was a family member and thirteen in the word generation.
"Thirteenth brother, what is there to calculate in the obvious matter? But no matter who becomes the tsar, there will be a war between the Rakshasa Kingdom and Britain in the future! I can sit on the fisherman's profits. ”
This is also an old Zhuge for the word generation, obscure for righteousness, line ten, tall and thin figure, about sixty years old, the gray beard is almost to the chest, very a little fairy.
"That's not necessarily, if there is a Natalie Empress, Great Britain and Rakshasa may be able to get along...... The secret report of the one hundred and eighth brother can say that this Natalie Grand Duchess is weak and well-behaved, and if she becomes the empress, she will definitely get by. Second brother, do you think it's possible for this Natalie to do it in one step? ”
There is another old Zhuge who spoke, this is the eighth master of the Zhuge family, who is filial piety, in his early sixties, but he looks younger than Zhuge Weiyi, his hair and beard are not white, and a pair of eagle eyes look particularly energetic.
"Hahaha, if the Rakshasa Kingdom can really get by and live for decades, it will be a blessing for the Rakshasa people......" An old Zhuge who looked like he was in his seventies, with a gray beard and hair, and a wrinkled face shaking his fan and laughing.
This old Zhuge is also a generation of Zhuge for the Tao, two lines, a long time of secrecy, he is seventy-five years old this year, he is still the son of the elder brother of the word generation, that is, the king of Zhuge Wu of this generation. In addition, he is now the right prime minister of the Ming Dynasty, and he is the second official of the Ming court, second only to the left prime minister, and becomes the king Zheng Guozhong.
When a few old Zhuge were discussing, a rush of footsteps suddenly sounded outside the door, and then the voice of an old servant of the Zhuge family who was guarding outside: "Eighty-eight master, you are here." ”
"Are all my old brothers in there?"
"In, in, in."
"Eighty-eight brothers, come in!" The old man Zhuge spoke for a long time.
The person who came is also a Zhuge , Zhuge is a scholar of Zhuge who is eighty-eight years old, and he is the brother of Zhuge Weidao, who looks very similar to Zhuge Weidao, but he is not as handsome as the latter, and he is not so good in figure, and he is a little fat. He is ten years older than Zhuge Weidao, and now he is the prime minister of Zhuge for a long time.
"Second brother, eighth brother, tenth brother, thirteenth brother," Zhuge Eighty-eight walked in with a folder in his hand, and arched his hand towards the three elder brothers, "I just received a secret message from Petersburg." ”
"Is it the secret message of the one hundred and eighth brother?" Zhuge asked with a smile.
The "one hundred and eight brothers" in his mouth are the "rich and handsome" Zhuge Weidao - a big family, it has been passed down for more than 100 years, and it can produce many people, make money, and of course there are many children and grandchildren.
"No, it's Guo Xiaobao's secret message." Zhuge Weixue took out a copy of a telegram from the folder and handed it over, "Second brother, the Daoist disciple was injured in order to rescue Archduchess Natalie in the turmoil in Petersburg, and his scalp was grazed by a bullet!" And ......"
Speaking of this, Zhuge Weixue's brows tightened, "I may still have amnesia!" ”
"Amnesia?"
"This ......"
"How's that okay?"
"Can I still be an errand if I have amnesia?"
The four old Zhuge were all taken aback.
Zhuge added for the study: "Don't worry, four old brothers, Baozhi's message said that the one hundred and eighth brother may also pretend to have amnesia." ”
"Pretending to have amnesia? Why? Zhuge asked for a long time.
"For the sake of ...... Natalie Grand Duchess, right? Zhuge made up for the study of the brain, "That female duke is soft-hearted, and she likes one hundred and eight brothers, seeing that he has amnesia in order to save herself, she must be willing to follow him to Daming." ”
