"What? Confused Zhuge wants to send a Rakshasa female grand duke to Daming? Fat Daoguang was stunned, "What are you going to do?" ”

"To marry," said Mu Zhang'a, "and the telegram from Zhongtang says that the Taiping Emperor of the Ming Dynasty wants to hire Archduchess Natalie, the youngest daughter of Tsar Paul I of the Rakshasas. ”

"Is there such a thing?" Fat Daoguang's brows furrowed suddenly, "Although the son of the great tomorrow is a puppet, and he is not the successor of his father and son, but after all, the queen is the mother of the world, and she married a foreign woman and a son?" Besides, how old is that Natalie? Paul I had been dead for more than 20 years. How old is that Taiping Tianzi this year? Thirteen or fourteen? ”

"Back to the emperor, Archduchess Natalie is twenty years old this year, and she is the widow of Paul I, who died in 1804 in the Western calendar, when she was just pregnant." Mu Zhang'a said, "The Son of Heaven of Taiping ascended the throne at the age of ten, this year is the fifth year of Taiping, he is fifteen years old, and he will be sixteen years old after the New Year." The difference between the two is five years, which is not too much. ”

"The foreign woman is already aging fast, and the Taiping Tianzi will marry another five years older...... When the Taiping Tianzi grows up, the Grand Duchess Natalie looks like a! Fat Daoguang snorted, "I think this must be a trick of the Zhuge family!" ”

I was really told by this fat Daoguang.

"Your Majesty," said Mu Zhang'a, "what you say is very true, but this ruse is certainly not against us...... We still have four generations of heavenly sons! ”

There are still four generations, but that's not much!

Fat Daoguangxin said: "If each generation lives as long as Lord Qianlong, there will be some years, if there are a few short-lived ones, it will be ....... Back then, Zhuge Wuzhong Wang Xue did not make it clear to Nalan Mingzhu before he died. ”

Thinking of this, Fat Daoguang was depressed again, he sighed and asked again: "Mu Zhang'a, you just said that the opportunity is rare, what is the opportunity?" ”

"Your Majesty," Mu Zhang'a said with a smile, "This is an opportunity for Zhuge to have a plan!" ”

"Meter? What is it used for? ”

"Use that plan, Your Majesty, we have been planning for many years, and we have never had a chance...... Have you forgotten? ”

"Oh, I remember," Fat Daoguang seemed to be a little hesitant: "But the people of the Zhuge family can pinch and calculate, can this strategy succeed?" ”

Mu Zhang'a said: "Your Majesty, their Zhuge family can pinch and calculate, didn't they also count the bloody disaster of Zhuge Weidao?" The blood-light disaster can't be counted, but can it still be counted as this?

In addition, the telegram from Hezhongtang also said that the new Tsar of the Rakshasas, Nicholas I, was trying to broker the marriage of his son, Archduke Alexander, and Princess Victoria, the third presumptive heir to the British throne. Once the marriage is successful, the situation that the Zhuge family has laid out for decades will be broken. It can be seen that the Zhuge family's ability to pinch and calculate has become weaker and weaker! This may be the reason why the bloodline has become thinner and thinner after several generations, so that the talent is getting worse and worse.

However, He Zhongtang said on the telegram that this Zhuge Weidao's talent does not seem to be weak, and when he saw Su Shun, he immediately calculated that Su Shun's surname was Aixin Jueluo...... Your Majesty, the slave thinks it's just him. If we miss him, I'm afraid we won't even be able to find this number in the future. ”

Fat Daoguang listened to Mu Zhang'a's analysis, just "um", and did not say anything, and then took the box of the copy of the telegram, opened it and took out the two copies inside, and looked at it carefully word by word by word by dim light.

After reading it, Fat Daoguang pondered again before slowly asking: "Mu Zhang'a, who will use this plan?" ”

"Nalandili," Mu Zhang'a said, "among the fairies of the Nalan family, she is the most talented and has the best appearance. And she and Zhuge are considered to be the same door, so you can call Zhuge the Taoist and call Uncle ......"

Fat Daoguang nodded lightly, and a regretful expression appeared on his fat face, "It's a pity, I originally wanted to partner with her for double cultivation, but now I have to cheapen the one surnamed Zhuge ......"

"Your Majesty," Mu Zhang'a said with a smile, "as long as you can get the bloodline of the elite of the Zhuge family, this sacrifice is still worth it!" ”

Fat Daoguang nodded, "It's not enough just bloodline, I have to let that Zhuge calculate for me, how can my Dajin break this trapped dragon situation!" ”

"Your Majesty, according to Nalan Immortal Gu's ability, it's just a trivial matter."

Daoguang sighed: "Mu Zhang'a, this matter will be left to you!" ”

"Huh!"

.......

Petersburg, Moscow railway station.

In its original history, the railway station was not built until 1851, but because the great inventor King Zhuge Wuzhong made the "Wuwang-style steam engine" with performance comparable to the Watt steam engine decades in advance, it was completed in the last year of Catherine II's reign, and it has a history of 30 years. However, the building is well maintained, it looks like new, and it has the extravagant and rough architectural style that is unique to the Rakshasa Kingdom inside and out.

When Zhuge Weidao and Guo Xiaobao rushed to the train station from the Winter Palace with large bags and small bags (mainly books), the station had been guarded by the Tsar's guards on the third and outer floors.

A special train consisting of ten cars has been waiting on the platform for a long time. However, this special train was not arranged for Zhuge Weidao and Natalie, but for Zhuge Weidao, Natalie and his party and Heshen's Jin Empire mission...... They were on the same road anyway, and Zhuge Weidao and Natalie still had to be guests in the Jin Empire, so they shared a train.

When Zhuge Weidao arrived, Wei Yuanda, the Ming ambassador to Petersburg, and Huang Shuren, the new military attache of the embassy, had already arrived, and the two of them were standing on the platform and talking to a few Rakshasa nobles who had come to see Natalie off.

Seeing Zhuge Weidao coming, Huang Shuren came out of the crowd, and beckoned Zhuge Weidao to the side of a carriage, and then took out an envelope and handed it to him: "Daozi, this is an appraisal issued by several accompanying ladies in the embassy...... The Grand Duchess is absolutely perfect!

The book was written in duplicate, and one copy had already been given to Grand Duke Mikhail. This one is for you....... The Grand Duchess is on this train, and I'll hand it over to you! ”

Zhuge Weidao took the envelope and found that the seal of the envelope was not glued, so he took out the letter inside and looked at it, and it was indeed the two wives of Wei Yuanda and Huang Shuren, as well as the wives of two other senior embassy officials, all signed and signed, which should not be wrong.

Of course, after arriving in the Jin Empire, Zhuge Weidao will have to personally inspect it.......

He stuffed the book into the envelope, carefully put it away, then frowned, and asked in a low voice, "Zhisheng, what if...... I mean, what happens if the Grand Duchess doesn't pass the inspection in Beijing? ”

"You, what do you mean?" Huang Shuren was startled by Zhuge Weidao's words, and looked at him with a pair of big eyes, "You, what do you want to do?" ”

"I'll just ask," Zhuge said, "it's always okay to ask, right?" Besides, I knew this rule, but now I forgot it. ”

"That's right," said Huang Shuren, "if you don't pass it...... he said with a serious face, "then you have to give the money back." ”

"What? Is it to give the money back? Zhuge was stunned for a moment, "Don't you give a light punishment?" ”

He was also worried about Natalie's harsher punishment.

Huang Shuren looked at Zhuge Weidao, "Brother Daozi, they are all daughters of the lords of the family, what else do you want?" Do you punish them for dipping in pig pens and riding wooden donkeys? Do you think it's the future? ”

"That's right, the emperor has no real power," Zhuge thought for a while, "What about me?" ”

"You? You what? "The more Huang Shuren listened, the more he felt that something was going to happen!

"In case, I said in case, the Grand Duchess is on the road and people, others ......"

Huang Shuren looked at Zhuge Weidao, frowned and said, "According to the usual practice, you will be fined for half a year." ”

"That's all? You're not mistaken, right? Zhuge Weidao was overjoyed, he had a million family fortunes, and it was nothing to get half a year's salary less.

Huang Shudao: "You can't be wrong, similar things have happened in the past...... The woman sent by the Zheng family in Siam and Annam to run for the concubine was returned, and the son of the Zheng family, who was in charge of the escort, was fined for half a year. However, this is the punishment of the imperial court, not the Zheng family. ”

Huang Shuren pondered in his heart as he spoke: "Anyway, you are a dead pig, and you are not afraid of boiling water." As far as you make it, you will be given a name at home, and it will be good to continue to have the surname Zhuge as well, and don't think about anything else. If the matter of the female archduke goes wrong again, it will be expulsion from the house. But this is just my estimate, so I won't tell you. ”

"Thank you very much!" Zhuge Weidao had already asked about the consequences of handling Natalie, and he was suddenly in a good mood, and smiled and hugged his fist at Huang Shuren, "Brother Zhisheng, there will be a period later!" ”

What? Will there be a period later? Huang Shuren also couldn't cry or laugh a little when he heard his words, and now that Tsar Nicholas I hadn't even come, he was in a hurry to say goodbye?

"Okay, we'll see you later." Huang Shuren had no choice but to say goodbye to Zhuge Weidao.

Zhuge Weidao hadn't seen Natalie in days. Natalie was busy preparing for her marriage, and she had to go to the Ming embassy for a "medical examination" - in addition to checking whether she was complete, she also had to evaluate whether she could give birth smoothly, and the results were of course quite satisfactory.

And Zhuge Weidao, who finished reading Natalie's physical examination report, couldn't hold back his thoughts about her anymore...... Although he and Natalie haven't known each other for long, he still fell in love with this Rakshasa Grand Duke at first sight!

In the past few days, as long as he closes his eyes, what appears in his mind is Natalie's angelic appearance and devil figure.

At this time, the lover is in the car, where can Zhuge Weidao wait? After saying goodbye to Huang Shuren, he got on the train in three steps and two steps. After getting on the train, Zhuge Weidao found that there were small rooms in this carriage, and they were all sleepers. Their destination this time was not Moscow, but far away in Turgeysk, Western Siberia, a small city on the banks of the Turgai River and the current eastward end of the Rakshasa Railway. It's a bit far from Petersburg, and you have to walk for days to get there. So the train to the west consists of two sleepers, a dining car, a car for big guys to socialize, and a few wagons.

"Natalie. Pavrovna, where are you? Zhuge Weidao found that the doors of all the small rooms were closed, and he didn't know where his beloved Natalie was? So he shouted loudly.

Before he could finish his shouting, he heard the door open, and then the sweet and beautiful female voice: "For the Tao, here I am." ”

Zhuge Weidao followed the sound and looked, only to see the face that he had been thinking about for several days appeared in an open door.

Zhuge Weidao could not bear it, and quickly pounced, seeing that he could hold the beauty in his arms, a thick mother with a face full of freckles suddenly squeezed out of the open door, blocking between Natalie and Zhuge Weidao, this aunt was wearing the clothes of a maid, and she should be following Natalie to marry a maid, I saw her squatting to Zhuge Weidao with a smile, and then said with a smile in Russian: "Major Zhuge , His Majesty the Tsar has arrived." ”

As soon as she finished speaking, the sound of music played by a military band was already sounding outside......
