Chapter 216: It's time to watch the excitement
Sophia had heard of Jia Lian.
In other words, the Russian royal family is concerned about the former military family of Dazheng, a powerful neighbor to the south.
The first time Sophia heard Jia Lian's name was more than two years ago.
Russia had great expectations for the great war of that year.
Although in the final analysis, it is actually the opposition forces within Da Zheng who are plotting to subvert the regime.
But, as the Mother Queen said, you can decide when to start, but when to end, it is up to Russia to decide.
In that battle, the forces mobilized by Russia far exceeded the 100,000 Cossack cavalry that were shown on the surface.
Three of Russia's most elite eight legions were thrown into preparation for this war.
However, because most of these legions, except for one Polar Bear Legion in Siberia, were in Europe, Russia needed someone to drag Da Zheng's main army to prolong the war.
At the same time, it consumes the sharpness of the three battalions of Dazheng's most elite Jingwei.
Originally, everything was well planned.
But unexpectedly, the war had just begun, and the Tatars, who were supposed to be the main force holding down Da Zheng, had gone wrong in Liaodong.
It was this Jia Lian who led the Dazheng army to break the Tatar army with decent combat effectiveness and solve Liaodong.
Then the overall layout of the empire was destroyed, and the mother queen had to stop the three major armies that were advancing eastward.
Since then, Sophia has been interested in this Ja.
Jia Lian didn't know that this Russian princess had so many dramas in her heart.
When he arrived at the Russian mission, he calmly saluted Sophia: "Da Zheng Guohonglu Temple is in charge, and the first-class Bo Jia Lian has seen Her Royal Highness the Princess." ”
Sophia was surprised to find that Jia Lian didn't seem to plan to greet the Lord Wang next to her.
However, as the most honorable princess of the Russian royal family, there is no shortage of etiquette.
"Your Excellency the Earl is well, I don't know how your country will reply to my request?"
Jia Lian pursed his lips: "Your Highness, the order of meeting the Son of Heaven has been determined, and it has been approved by me and cannot be changed."
I don't care what you've heard before, what I'm going to tell you is that it was my decree to put Russia last.
It was because I knew that Her Royal Highness the Princess had personally arrived in Shenjing that I wanted to leave more time for her to talk. ”
Hearing Jia Lian's words, Sophia was silent for a while, and then spoke: "Since it has been approved by His Majesty the Emperor, then okay, I have no opinion." ”
Hearing Sophia's words, the prince hung without a mouthful of old blood spurting out. Why have I told you so much, but I haven't seen you talk so well.
Seeing Sophia nodding, Jia Lian turned his head to look at Wang Ziteng: "The second uncle has always been good, I heard Feng'er say that the second uncle went to Zongzheng Temple to report when he came back, and he is really diligent in royal affairs." ”
The corners of Wang Ziteng's mouth twitched, he really wanted to slap Jia Lian, this little bastard, in person. Lao Tzu is under the control of nine provinces, why can't he even go back to Beijing when he returns to Beijing, and he is reduced to going to Zongzheng Temple to suffer this crime, don't you know?
But Wang Ziteng has been in the sea for many years, and there are still some in the city, and he knows where to say what to say.
Xiyuan is where the imperial city is located, and it seems that there are no people around. But Wang Ziteng dared to guarantee that he had said something too much here, and it would not be long before Wang Ziteng's resentful comments would appear on the emperor's desk.
After all, he is not a direct confidant of Emperor Longzheng, and he is not treated the same as the little bastard in front of him.
"Hehe, that's nature, the emperor and the prince take a fancy to me, so I naturally have to do my best."
Jia Lian nodded, since the problem of the Russian princess was solved, he had to hurry back to his position.
"I still have something to do, second uncle, I'll leave first." Jia Lian didn't have the patience to talk to the prince, so he turned around and left.
As soon as Jia Lian returned to his position, a group of officials from the Honglu Temple and the Protocol Department of the Ministry of Rites came to report to him.
According to the process of the ceremony, it will take a total of one day from the arrival of the envoys of various countries in the morning.
Honglu Temple is responsible for arranging the waiting area and the order of the envoys of various countries, and is responsible for maintaining order.
At that time, the envoys of the various countries arrived at the scene, and the Honglu Temple was responsible for guiding the delegations of the various countries to the waiting place.
At the end of the day, the officials of Dazheng arrived at Zhongnanhai, and Emperor Longzheng brought the prince and queen to the palace of the imperial court.
At noon, the ceremony officially began, and Emperor Longzheng ascended to the throne.
"The Son of Heaven ascends to the throne and kneels." The ceremonial officer of the Ministry of Rites was excited about this moment.
You know, these ceremonial officials basically have nothing to do on weekdays. It is only when there is a ceremony in the dynasty that they have the opportunity to show their faces.
The Da Zheng officials and envoys from various countries present all knelt down. The only difference is that countries such as England and Lyrica do one knee salute.
But in the waiting area of the Russian mission, looking at Sophia, who was standing with her head held high, the prince, who was kneeling on the ground, turned black for a while.
Sophia, as a Russian, is already the second tallest Da Zheng woman, but now everyone is kneeling, but she is the only one standing too conspicuous.
Sure enough, one of the closest officials to them immediately prepared to come over, and Wang Ziteng knew very well the difficulties of these people, and tried to persuade Sophia with a bitter face.
"Flat!" , Emperor Longzheng saved him at this time.
It is customary for His Majesty the Emperor to make an enthusiastic speech to express the welcome of China and the DPRK to all countries.
Jia Lian stood in the position of Honglu Temple and seemed to be listening very carefully, but in his heart he was thinking about how to squeeze more things out of the hands of Magorny and others after today.
After today's ceremony, most of the vassal envoys will return home.
They have fulfilled their mission on their own, and will be protected by Da Zheng for the next three years.
But the mission of countries such as England has only just begun.
Jia Lian also needs to negotiate with them for a long time. Try to give them some sweetness and delay the time for them to do something to Da Zheng. Get more from them at the same time.
After all, although he is not afraid of those Xiyi even now, Da Zheng's courage and heritage are much stronger than those in the late Qing Dynasty.
But after all, he is lagging behind in the fields of basic science and industrial technology, and Jia Lian needs time to push Da Zheng to catch up.
As for saying that Sophia's girl didn't kneel, Jia Lian didn't care at all.
The fool was self-righteous and snatched Sophia away, intending to disgust himself. Don't you know, right in the middle, Jia Lian's most difficult problem to deal with.
Russia will send a princess to envoy Da Zheng, and the plan must not be small. Originally, Jia Lian was still worried, but he didn't expect Zheng Jing to suddenly jump out to help.
Therefore, Jia Lian asked Honglu Temple to fully cooperate, and even the Russian chef found by King Zhongshun was arranged there by Jia Lian in advance. It was just to prevent Zheng Jing from being unable to hold on, and there was a reason to send the Russian mission back.
As for now. Jia Lian felt that it was time to watch the excitement.
pS: I have a cold, I don't have much energy, that's all for today.
