After returning to their residence, Prince Nikolai, Vedmeyer, and Kutuzov of Lucia's delegation continued to meet and discuss for a long time.

Finally, Wedmeyer put together a detailed report and sent it back to Lucia's Moscow Palace.

When Lucia Emperor Paul got the report, he was in a sad mood, but at the same time he was slightly relieved.

It was clear that Lucia was not forced to die.

But it is not so easy to decide how to choose those three options in the end.

Paul thought about it for more than half an hour, and then asked the cabinet ministers and adult princes to discuss it.

Paul's expectation of a judgment was met with a full-blown argument.

The point of contention is not only which option to choose, but also the details of each option.

These include disputes over the extent of the ceded land, as well as disputes over the Ming reform.

Most of the princes were in favor of splitting, but opposed the Minghua reform.

After the split, the Romanov family will be able to have one more country to inherit, and the prince, who originally had no chance of inheritance, will have another chance.

However, most of them were relatively young and inclined to Europa Lucia in their thinking, so most of them were opposed to the Ming Hua reform.

Older ministers were mostly opposed to the split, and were willing to accept the Minghua reforms.

Because the split of the Romanov dynasty can weaken the overall strength of the country, and the dismantled part will be annexed by the Ming Dynasty sooner or later.

Most of them are older, and they are more in favor of Minghua in their thinking, so they tend to be Minghua as a whole.

The young ministers, at the same time, opposed the partition and the Minghua, supported the acceptance of twenty years of peace, and demanded that the emperor lie down and try his courage to fight again after twenty years.

So in the end, the most approved option is to make the tributary of the whole a whole, rather than splitting it.

But in the same way, the most opposed is the overall tributary of ministers.

The conference room slowly became a mess.

Two hours later, Emperor Paul dispersed the prince and his ministers and continued to think alone.

In fact, the chaotic meeting scene is also a true portrayal of Paul's heart to some extent.

Each choice is not the best, but you must choose one of these options that is not the worst.

This is the sorrow of the weak, who can only toss and turn between the options offered by others.

Emperor Paul thought for two hours, but did not make a final decision, and subconsciously wanted to delay it, anyway, there was a one-month deadline.

This delay will be until May.

On May 2, the 34th year of the reign of Emperor Taiping, an urgent telegram was sent to Emperor Paul:

"Khiva Khan was awarded the title of Duke of Khiva of the Ming Dynasty, and the Khiva Khanate officially became a foreign vassal of the Ming Dynasty, and the Governor's Office of the Right Army of the Ming Dynasty entered the Khiva Kingdom on the same day."

Emperor Paul's hands trembled subconsciously, and he almost tore the telegram to pieces.

Although the Ming Dynasty was negotiating and gave a deadline, it was obvious that it would not wait until the deadline to prepare for war.

Instead, preparations for war begin while waiting, and the deadline may be to start a war directly.

"It can't be delayed, this kind of waiting is meaningless, but it will allow Daming to accumulate more anger......"

【Daming 1805】 【】

Emperor Paul quickly made a decision in his heart, and then instinctively wanted to summon the ministers and princes.

As a result, when the words came to his lips, he forcibly held back and temporarily changed it to another order:

"Call Alexander's family."

Emperor Paul's son, Alexander, was born to Paul and a concubine of the Ming people.

Although the Ming royal family and the imperial court officials both prohibit marriage, there is no way to completely prohibit civil transnational marriage.

Although the proportion of ordinary women in the Ming Dynasty who are willing to marry Taixi is very low, the population base of the Ming Dynasty is large enough to always find someone who is willing.

As the largest country in Tessie, Lucia wants to find a few ordinary women from the people of the Ming Dynasty to be imperial concubines, which is not a big problem.

Alexander, the prince of mixed blood, was sent to Daming to study at the age of twelve, and married a Ming woman as his wife in Daming.

It was not until before the start of the world war that he returned to Lucia with his wife, at the age of Chinese New Year's Eve.

More than half an hour later, Prince Alexander, his wife Zhao Xinlian, and five children all arrived at Emperor Paul's bedroom.

Emperor Paul looked at the family with mixed feelings.

This family of seven is all dressed in the Ming style, Alexander also has a Ming Yayan name called Luo Yashan, and several children also have Ming names.

Luo Yashan himself was originally mixed-race, and his children mixed for the first time, and they all had three-quarters of Ming blood.

The five children all have obvious Ming characteristics, and two of them only have hair color that is not black enough, and the others basically have no Lucia characteristics.

A family of seven walked up to Emperor Paul and greeted Emperor Paul in standard Daming Yayan.

The ceremonial gestures were impeccable, but there was a clear sense of indifference.

Because Luo Yashan's family did not approve of Lucia's war with Daming, they felt that it was a completely meaningless and thankless act.

Emperor Paul sighed softly in his heart, and then greeted him with a smile on his face:

"Alexander, the war between Lucia and Daming is coming to an end, and your family doesn't have to worry about it in the future."

Luo Yashan was slightly surprised, but quickly regained his composure:

"And at what cost?"

Emperor Paul's expression suddenly stiffened a little, and he forced out a smile again, pretending to be relaxed:

"According to the terms of the armistice we discussed with the Ming Dynasty, the territory of our Romanov family will be divided into two parts.

"Divide the regions east of the Urals and create a state with Ming-style etiquette and institutions.

"The monarch will be a member of our Romanov family, and the country will become a foreign vassal of the Ming Dynasty.

"I'm going to let you, a child with Ming blood, be the monarch of this country."

Luo Yashan did not show any surprise, but was a little weak and hesitant indignant:

"This is the price, this is the result of more than ten years of fighting for my father, does my father think it's all worth it?"

Royasan has a very mixed mood, and as a member of the Romanov family, he also hopes that the Romanov dynasty and Lucia will be strong.

At the same time, he was very tired of the so-called Europa de Lucia trend that had emerged in recent years.

In Luo Yashan's view, Lucia is not a Taixi country, and it is better to follow Daming to become a Mongol.

【Daming 1805】 【】

Seeing that Lucia was defeated in challenging Daming and was about to pay a painful price, Luo Yashan had a mentality of hating iron and not steel.

Emperor Paul's mentality was equally complicated, and he didn't want to answer such a meaningless question at all, so he directly closed his eyes and changed the topic:

"So you're willing to be this Xianbei Grand Duke?"

Mount Loa has also largely returned to calm:

"Did Da Ming appoint me to be the prince of this country?"

Emperor Paul shook his head:

"Daming did not designate a person, but gave the system requirements, so you became the most suitable person."

Luo Yashan nodded lightly:

"Okay, I'll go to be the prince of Xianbei and fully fall to the side of the Ming Dynasty, and Lucia will continue to be the country of Taixi.

"This is also a two-headed bet, no matter what the situation is in the future, the Romanov family will never be extinct."

Emperor Paul nodded slightly, and then looked at the children of Royashan:

"After the agreement is officially signed, send the two children to study in Daming, and then take a Ming girl as a wife and inherit your title."

Luo Yashan nodded noncommittally:

"If their next generation mixes with the Ming people, they should be completely indistinguishable from the Ming people......

At this point in the topic of father and son, Emperor Paul thought of a question:

"Haven't Peter and Sophia seen their body odor yet? It's not going to come back as an adult, is it? ”

Luo Yashan nodded very definitely and said:

"I still don't have a body odor, and I probably won't have it in the future.

"Erchen specially visited many mixed-race families and did a very detailed investigation.

"If a child has oily ears when he is young, there is a high probability that he will have body odor before he becomes an adult.

"If your child has dry ears, there is a high probability that they will not have body odor.

"The Taixi people who have body odor combine with the Ming people who have no body odor, and the mixed-race offspring produced have a small probability of no body odor.

"Children who are mixed-race but have body odor, continue to combine with the Ming people who have no body odor, and the offspring produced will have half the probability of no body odor.

"Children who do not have body odor continue to combine with children who do not have body odor, and there is a high probability that the offspring will not have body odor."

When Paul heard this, he was a little surprised and said:

"If that's the case, we've always been mixed with the Ming people, so won't there be no body smell after three generations?"

Luo Yashan was a little speechless and explained:

"No, you have to look at it the other way around, starting from the second generation of mixed-race descendants, as long as it is a child with body odor, even if it is combined with someone who has no body odor, the offspring will always have half the probability of having body odor.

"Unless all the children with body odor die, people with body odor will never disappear."

But Emperor Paul shook his head with a dry smile and said:

"No, no, no, if there are people with body odor, and people without body odor, the group is big enough and lives together.

"Then people with body odor, compared to people without body odor, will have a harder time getting the opportunity to marry, so the number of offspring will decrease.

"Therefore, the number of people with body odor will definitely gradually decrease overall......

Luo Yashan nodded lightly:

"That's right, but in fact, people who have no body odor at all can be regarded as Ming people, which is equivalent to the last one."

【Daming 1805】 【】

Emperor Paul shook his head again:

"How can it be considered a last resort? Just like these children of yours, even if the next generation intermarries with the Ming people, your descendants will still be your descendants.

"For you personally, as long as all the descendants of a certain generation can't have children, then you can't be regarded as a ...... last."

This time, it was replaced by Luo Yashan, and he smiled dryly:

"Yes, I personally don't have a fallout, but if you zoom in on the entire race, the one that has a taste disappears."

Emperor Paul retorted again:

"No, it's not gone, they're just completely integrated into the odorless group.

"Since there are no heirs for the individual, and the group is integrated into the better group, what is there to regret?"

Luo Yashan was silent for a few seconds before he said in a solemn tone:

"Father...... There seems to be some truth to what you said......

"But in this process, there will be a part of each generation who have a body odor and cannot leave their own descendants.

"That's what you just said, it's harder for people with body odor to get a chance to get married, and the probability of being out is even higher.

"On the contrary, those who do not have body odor have a lower probability of dying and more ...... offspring"

Emperor Paul said in a calm tone:

"This is a necessary price, and even without this kind of hybrid, not every ordinary person can leave offspring."

Luo Yashan looked at his children, regardless of whether they had a body odor or not, they were all his own children, and he didn't want them to be left behind.

The scene was silent for a while, and Emperor Paul spoke again:

"As the Grand Duke of Xianbei, you will be regarded as a courtier of the Ming Dynasty in the future, so let's also go to the meeting site.

"Zhu Jingyuan, the grandson of the Ming Emperor, who is now presiding over the negotiations, is the most favored and intelligent of his father's children.

"The reform that led to the removal of feudal domains and the lifting of bans has gained great prestige, and now it will reap great credit through negotiations.

"His father has been appointed as the secretary of the Ming Dynasty, and he is already the heir recognized by the Ming Emperor.

Zhu Jingyuan also has a high probability of becoming the heir of the next generation approved by his father.

"You bring some gifts, say hello, and build friendships in advance."

Luo Yashan was obviously stunned for a moment, obviously not expecting that his father would give him such a task.

Regarding the situation of Zhu Jingyuan's father and son, Luo Yashan has already understood, and has no objection to his father's judgment.

I just asked my father's advice with some weakness and apprehension:

"This ...... What gift can we give to the emperor and grandson of this status? So as not to appear rude? ”

Emperor Paul thought for a moment and said:

"It's a problem, even land and manors don't mean much to him, but that's all he can do.

"Then, talk to your wife and Sophia, and ask Sophia if she would like to be a servant for him."

Luo Yashan's expression suddenly became a little ugly.

If he said that he would marry his daughter to Zhu Jingyuan, of course he would raise his hands in favor, even if it was just to be a concubine, he would not refuse.

However, the Ming Dynasty forbade harmony to an outrageous extent, royal women were absolutely not allowed to marry foreign women, and men were not allowed to marry foreign women as their wives.

【Daming 1805】 【】

Of all the foreign clans, Korean maidservants and maids were the most able to become male concubines of the royal family, and the offspring born to them could not inherit the royal title.

Other foreign women can only act as handmaidens without a name, and the children are not included in the royal family, nor do they have any titles.

Luo Yashan shook his head with a straight face and said:

"I don't want to do that......"

But Emperor Paul smiled and said:

"Don't be too busy refusing yourself, you go and ask Sovia if she wants to.

"Also, Sophia is my granddaughter after all, although she is nominally going to be a handmaiden, in fact she will not really become an ordinary handmaiden.

"I will take a manor and land by the Black Sea as a dowry and give it to Zhu Jingyuan with Sophia.

Then his natural choice was to let Sophia manage the manor.

"After all, it is impossible for him to personally manage the manor in Lucia, nor to live and use it himself, in fact he only has the right to benefit.

"It should be passed on to the children born to him and Sophia, and in the final analysis, it will always be Lucia's land.

"This kind of child is not included in the Ming royal family, and can only be arranged as an illegitimate child, and it is appropriate to accept overseas estates."

Luo Yashan fully understood his father's thoughts, so he nodded lightly and agreed, and went to discuss with his wife and children.

Emperor Paul cheered up, summoned the main officials of the court, no longer allowed them to quarrel, and directly intervened in the arbitrary, choosing to split Lucia.

The news was sent on the same day to Prince Nikolai, Vedmeyer, and Kutuzov in front.

Let them formally respond to Da Ming, and at the same time start more in-depth negotiations.
