Chapter 232: Jia Lian pointed at the map spread out in front of him
Jia Lian finally realized why it was so difficult for foreigners to learn Chinese.
"I'm just thirsty, you think too much. Sit down, let's talk. ”
Hearing Jia Lian say this, Sophia and Vyshinsky were a little embarrassed, but they also sat down in the end.
"Your Excellency, just now you mentioned harmony, I will report the meaning of the tsar of your country to the emperor of my country. However, as the current top official of Da Zheng's diplomatic department, I think it is very unlikely that he will be approved. ”
"Why?" Sophia was a little unconvinced: "Isn't the prince of the powerful Russian Empire worthy of your princess?" ”
"Your Highness the Princess, it's not like that. This is related to the historical tradition of Da Zheng.
And marriage between your nations has become a custom of difference. China, the DPRK and the DPRK have not achieved many positive results.
Therefore, since the Taizu and the Holy Ancestor, I have had a clear attitude towards harmony.
Foreign princesses can marry into Shenjing, but my princess Da Zheng does not marry outside. ”
After Jia Lian's words were finished, Vyshinsky hesitated for a moment before he spoke: "But on the day of the Mid-Autumn Festival, didn't Your Excellency say that you can also let our prince come to Shenjing?" ”
Jia Lian's face stiffened, at that time he was just talking nonsense, could it be that Russia would really let the prince come to Da Zheng to join the family.
"Your Excellency, that is a special situation that has been the case in some vassal states. You won't tell me that Russia will let the prince come to Da Zheng to live in it. ”
Vyshinsky smiled: "Then why do you think I have been in the Sifang Pavilion for more than a month, I am waiting for news from China."
Now that our tsar has arrived, as long as he returns to Russia every three years, his prince can come to live in Dazheng. ”
Jia Lian: ......
After sending away Vyshinsky and Sophia, Jia Lian entered the palace with a dejected face.
This time, Jia Lian took the initiative to ask to go to Fengzao Palace, because it involved the princess and needed the queen's participation.
"In other words, today the Russian princess and their grand duke went to your house. Offered to marry the princess of our dynasty for their prince. And promised that as long as he returned to Russia once in three years, the Russian prince could come to Da Zheng to join the family? ”
Empress Song and Concubine Jia obviously seem to be a lot closer. In front of the emperor and queen, it was Yuan Chun who spoke first.
"Yes, big sister." Jia Lian said with some dejection.
Emperor Longzheng and Empress Song both thought of the Mid-Autumn Festival ceremony that day, and Jia Lian couldn't help but have a headache when she talked nonsense casually.
Just as Jia Lian said, Taizu and Shengzu once had a clear edict: Princess Dazheng does not marry outside, and relatives can only marry foreign women into Shenjing.
Originally, it was nothing, but Jia Lian happened to notice Shunde when he was looking at the archives of Honglu Temple, and there were two times during the Jingning period, when the Qianxiang Kingdom and the Mangara Kingdom had entered Shenjing as a prince and got a wife to the daughter of the Zheng clan.
So I added a second clause by the way, but I didn't expect the Russians with the head iron to really take it seriously, and the Russian tsar really agreed.
"You, why are you so mouthful." Queen Song couldn't help but open her mouth and counted a few words from Jia Lian.
Emperor Longzheng didn't blame Jia Lian, as the emperor, he still had this responsibility. Jia Lian said these two items in front of him, and he didn't deny it, which means that he agreed.
It's just that Emperor Longzheng is very curious, why is this Russian tsar so unreliable.
"I don't understand, what the hell is the Russian Tsar's mind?"
Jia Lian can explain this clearly: "The emperor doesn't know, the current situation in Russia is somewhat similar to the former Tang Wu anniversary.
The current Tsar Catherine, the empress of the previous Tsar Alexander.
Later, Alexander died, and Catherine ascended the throne as emperor with the support of the Russian military and a group of clans, becoming empress.
So she probably didn't care about the situation of Alexander's son. After all, as far as I know, only four of Alexander's sixteen sons were born to her. ”
"That's right!" Emperor Longzheng understood. Before, he only knew that Russia was an empress, and he originally thought that it was the princess of the former emperor who succeeded to the throne, although he thought it was ridiculous, but he didn't think it was anything.
Unexpectedly, it was the same as Wu Zetian in Chinese history, it was the queen who usurped power and seized the throne.
"But Gu'an and Changning are still young, according to what you said, the prince of Russia is already twenty-two years old, and Gu'an is only twelve years old." Empress Song has begun to think about the problem from a technical level.
Jia Lian and Emperor Long Zheng glanced at each other and laughed.
"What are you laughing at?" Queen Song was annoyed and embarrassed by the laughter.
The two of them glanced at each other, and it was Jia Lian who came forward to solve the confusion for Empress Song and Yuan Chun: "Niangniang, if you want the emperor's daughter to marry, he is not qualified for a Russian down-and-out prince." If you can become the Empress of Russia, then you can still consider it. ”
"Then don't consider it, my daughters are all Nine Heavens Flying Phoenix, how can they marry foreign barbarians." Emperor Longzheng calmly answered, showing the spirit of a king.
"What then?" Empress Song was a little incomprehensible.
"The queen thinks too much, and I haven't agreed to this marriage yet. The second is to agree, choose a daughter in the clan to be the princess, and marry her.
Anyway, they came to Dazheng, and they didn't marry their daughter to St. Petersburg, and who to marry is not to marry. "Emperor Longzheng is not worried about this, anyway, his daughter will definitely not marry an outsider.
When Queen Song heard that she didn't need to marry in Gu'an, she was relieved. Gu Anke is her own daughter, where is she willing to marry so far.
"Don't mention this, Jia Lian, what do you think the Russians mean this time?" Emperor Longzheng decided to put this matter aside for the first time and think about serious things first.
Jia Lian hesitated for a moment before continuing: "Emperor, the minister talked with that Romanov Grand Duke for a while. The initial assumption is that Russia is under pressure at home.
Empress Catherine was anxious to win a foreign war to divert domestic pressure and stabilize her position.
She originally aimed at Da Zheng, but in the first battle of the northern frontier in the fifth year of Longzheng, we thwarted her plan.
So this time she chose a safe target, but she was worried that she would not be able to get enough benefits due to the interference of my Da Zheng. So you want to stabilize us. ”
Emperor Longzheng's eyes lit up: "You mean Liaodong?" ”
"Yes, Liaodong, now it seems that the three sides of the Japanese slaves, Russia, and Mobei Mongolia have been determined.
If Kangxi doesn't have enough strength. Or I'll intervene in the big way. I am afraid that the fall of the Manchu Qing is inevitable. ”
"So, aren't the Russians playing tricks on us?"
As soon as he heard that the monarch and ministers began to talk about state affairs, Jia Yuanchun immediately withdrew from the main hall of the Fengzao Palace. However, Empress Song did not leave.
"Mother, it won't. If Catherine wants to stabilize her position, it is not enough to rely on a Manchu Qing.
The way to grab benefits from Da Zheng is broken, then the battle in Liaodong can only be regarded as an appetizer. That's probably where her bigger ambition lies. ”
Jia Lian pointed to the map spread out in front of him.
