When Kangxi walked into the office of the Grand Duke of Thrace, the regent of the Eastern Roman Empire, the guardian of Constantinople and the heir of the Grand Duke of Galata, the commander of Constantine's legions and the Grand Duke of Thrace, was sitting behind his desk looking down at a document.

Unlike Kangxi, who was dressed in a gray tweed military uniform and had a neat shaved head, the Grand Duke of Thrace wore a blue horse coat, a bald head without a hat, most of his head was shaved bald, and there was a braid on the back of his head. If it weren't for the Rakshasa style furniture and decoration in this room, as well as the glass oil lamp on the desk and the quill pen held by the Grand Duke in his hand, Kangxi would have thought that he had returned to the Qing Dynasty!

Although Kangxi had long known that the man who was looking down at the document was his most feared brother in his life, when he saw the Grand Duke of Thrace, he still felt that this man's tiger back and big bald head, as well as a beard like a steel needle, were very similar to that person!

When he was trying to think about who "who" it was, the Grand Duke of Thrace had already raised his head, stared at Kangxi with a pair of copper bell-like eyes, and a cruel smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "Xuanye, didn't do well in the exam?" ”

This voice sounded very majestic, Kangxi was trembling, and immediately remembered who the Thracian Grand Duke in front of him looked like!

It's like worship!

How is this Thracian Grand Duke so similar to Aobai? Block avatar, beard like, voice like, temperament is more like. looks not the same as Aobai, not so old, only in his thirties, and his facial features are much more upright than Aobai's.

He, he can't be reincarnated by Aobai, right?

Thinking of this, Kangxi is simply like ashes!

Originally, he also wanted to kill his brother and replace him as the Grand Duke of Thrace, and then inherit the position of regent of the empire and guardian of Constantinople in the future, so as to make full use of the strength of Eastern Rome to restore the Qing Dynasty.

But who would have thought that his brother in this life is not a Fuquan type, but a Aobai type!

And this time the "Ao Bai" is not a slave, but a master!

"Aobai" is now the regent of the empire and the official heir to the guardianship of Constantinople, the Grand Duke of Thrace, and the commander of the Constantine Legion! It's his Kangxi's master!

As soon as he thought of "Aobai" becoming the master, Kangxi felt "a lot of pressure"! Even his voice trembled a little: "I took the test, I passed the test, and this time I finally passed!" ”

"Grand Duke, the third prince did well in the exam this time," Principal Kong said, "I got a special grade!" ”

"Grand?" The Grand Duke of Thrace looked incredulous and looked at Principal Kong, "Can he wait?" It can't be Natasha who helped her make the rolls, right? ”

"Where can this be?" Principal Kong smiled and took out two volumes, "Grand Duke, take a look for yourself. Don't say that Natasha can't do it, even the old man can't write such a good eight-strand essay myself. Oh, and that hand-written calligraphy, it's so well written! ”

"Brush?" The Grand Duke of Thrace was stunned for a moment, and took the two volumes from Principal Kong's hand, "This character is really written by the third child?" ”

"It was written by the third prince," said Principal Kong, "and the old man saw it with his own eyes, and he couldn't be wrong." ”

"Really? But this word looks quite familiar, as if it belongs to whoever it is."

As soon as Kangxi heard this, cold sweat came out on his forehead!

also blames him for being too perfect, and thinks the words he writes with a quill are too ugly - Kangxi has never practiced writing with a quill! And he was also used to using brushes, so he took a brush inkstone to take the exam.

And his handwriting was also the first class in the Qing Dynasty back then, and in today's Constantinople, it may be the first in calligraphy.

It wouldn't be a big deal if that Principal Kong didn't show his article to his eldest brother, the Grand Duke of Thrace. If his eldest brother, the Grand Duke of Thrace, was not the reincarnation of Ao Bai who drank a little Mengpo soup, it should not be a big deal.

Isn't it just that the words are better? Today's Europe and West Asia are proper troubled times, and being able to play in troubled times is the most important thing.

Otherwise, the Qing Dynasty would not have died

But this eldest brother, is he reincarnated? It looks a bit similar, but in Zhu Xuanye's memory there, the eldest brother is a little fierce, a little stricter, a little bit turned his face and doesn't recognize people, and a little bit like to be more serious. Ah, isn't this temperament the same as Aobai?

Don't

When Kangxi was scared, his good brother Grand Duke of Thrace no longer wondered who Kangxi's calligraphy looked like, but began to concentrate on reading Kangxi's composition, and nodded lightly while reading, but his brows were already wrinkled, and he didn't know what he was thinking?

Kangxi's heart was beating suddenly, for fear that the enemies of his previous life would come to him to settle accounts.

"The third child!" The Grand Duke of Thrace had already finished reading Kangxi's two eight-strand essays, and then put down the volume and looked at Zhu Xuanye with blazing eyes, "Do you know how to compose poems?" ”

"Yes, a little." Kangxi replied while trying to recall the relationship between Zhu Xuanye and this "good big brother".

The age difference between the two brothers is more than ten years, Zhu Xuanye is only in his early 20s this year, and Zhu Xuanwu is 36 years old. When Zhu Xuanye was a child, Zhu Xuanwu was named the Grand Duke of Thrace, and served as the deputy commander of the Constantine Army, and also moved out of the Pingxi Palace. As the second-in-command of Constantine's legion, he has been busy with military affairs and will not care about his third brother's studies at all.

In addition, because Zhu Xuanye's biological mother Yang died of puerperal fever after giving birth to Zhu Xuanye, Zhu Xuanwu and Zhu Xuanye's second brother Zhu Xuanying (3 years younger than Zhu Xuanwu) both felt that Zhu Xuanye had harmed his mother, so they hated him very much. Later, after the two brothers divided the house and moved out of the Pingxi Palace, they didn't meet Zhu Xuanye much.

Zhu Xuanwu pointed to the documents on his desk and said to Zhu Xuanye, "This is the news of Generalissimo Suvorov's arrival in Moscow from Moscow.

In addition, I heard that during the Three Kingdoms, Cao Pi once ordered his brother Cao Zhi to write a poem in seven steps, you can also try it! Talia, get him a brush and stationery and let him write it down! ”

Of course Kangxi understands what this suspected reincarnation of Aobai means? Bagu articles are very difficult to do, but those who can write Bagu essays well will have the writing skills at home, and it will be difficult to write poems and lyrics.

Of course, this poem may not be passed down to the world, but it will certainly be passable.

Thinking of this, Kangxi had no choice but to follow Cao Pi's example, pacing in the office of the Grand Duke of Thrace, when he paced to the seventh step, he suddenly stopped, and then looked at his good eldest brother, thinking of the Ao Taishi, and began to chant poetry with one mouth: "The prestige of a hundred battles has long been raised, and he has been in Yanjiang for many years." Su knows that he is brave and strategic, and should be based on Hongtu to suppress ghosts. ”

The Grand Duke of Thrace was also influenced by Chinese culture, and after listening to Kangxi's poem, he knew that it was good, nodded his head, and thought: It seems that this third child is really proficient in Chinese studies, and he chose the right person to send him to Napoleon.

At this time, Kangxi had already taken the brush from Talia, dipped it directly in the ink used by the quill, and wrote it on a piece of stationery, and quickly wrote down the poem.

The Grand Duke of Thrace took the letter and looked at it, and finally showed a little smile on his face, looked at Zhu Xuanye and said with a smile: "Okay, the boy turned out to be a literati!" Gotta go back and pack up, and I'll arrange for you to go to France with Paul (Brother Peter) and Natasha!

By the way, I also prepared a gift for General Napoleon. Talia, go and bring Dong Qichang's "Short Song Xing", so that the third child can also open his eyes. ”

"Dong Qichang's "Tanka Xing"?" Kangxi was stunned when he heard this, and said in his heart: Dong Qichang's "Short Song Xing"? That painting was actually brought to Constantinople?

Talia quickly brought a very quaint-looking scroll, and then opened it carefully on the desk, Kangxi glanced at the lettering, and his heart chuckled.

And the Grand Duke of Thrace also saw the problem: "Hey, why is this character so similar to the third child?" Is this genuine? ”

Kangxi was so frightened that his face turned white, because this character was not Dong Qichang's "Short Song Xing" at all, but he wrote it. Dong Qichang's "Short Song Xing" is cursive, and when he was still the emperor of the Qing Dynasty, he imitated Dong Qichang's handwriting and wrote a regular script "Short Song Xing".

I don't know how this character was brought to Constantinople, and three seals of "Xuanxianzhai", "Xuanzai" and "Dong Qichang Seal" were added, as well as a "Kangxi" appreciation seal.

"Can't be wrong," Talia seemed to know how to draw and paint, and said with a smile, "The third prince's handwriting is imitation of Dong Qichang, but it is still a little weaker." And there is also a 'Kangxi' appreciation seal on this "Tanka Xing", which is absolutely fake! ”

"That's right!" The Grand Duke of Thrace said with a smile, "Although Kangxi is a faint king, he has a lot of paintings and calligraphy in his collection, and all of them are genuine. This "Tanka Xing" is one of them and was given to Napoleon as a congratulatory gift, so don't you lose it? ”

"Big brother, Napoleon likes calligraphy?" Kangxi was a little surprised, "Isn't he French?" ”

"What's wrong with the French?" The Thracian justice, "I'm still a Roman!" I don't like robes and coats, and I still have braids! Third, I tell you, this Napoleon. Bonaparte was very fond of Shenzhou culture, especially calligraphy and poetry. Among them, the poems especially like Cao Cao and Li Bai! On your way to France, remember to take Cao Cao and Li Bai's poetry collection and memorize it!

In addition, you can do this calligraphy. Oh, and besides, Napoleon was good at math, can you do that? ”

"Okay!" Kangxi nodded, "Don't worry, big brother, I'm also good at math." ”

"That's it!" The Grand Duke of Thrace tapped his fingers on Kangxi's two volumes, and then lowered his tone, "Third brother, your article is good, and the ideas on it are also a little interesting." But our Eastern Roman Empire is a small country, the capital is too small, it can't withstand the toss and you go to Napoleon, don't act rashly, let alone fan the flames to provoke any world war, that's not something a small country like ours can play!

In addition, you can be said to know nothing about the strength of the Ming Dynasty. So don't be clever and treat Daming as our enemy. Without my orders, you can stay in France honestly and accompany Napoleon to recite poetry, you know? ”

"Got it, my brother is right!"

Kangxi seems to see the shadow of Aobai in the Grand Duke of Thrace again, and now "Aobai" is the boss and he is the younger brother. You have to be honest, otherwise the bloody storm of the emperor's family will befall him!

"Okay, go back and prepare, and I'll set off tomorrow!" The Grand Duke of Thrace was a little resolute, and immediately arranged for Zhu Xuanye to arrange a ship to France, and then asked Talia to send Zhu Xuanye and others out of his Grand Duke's mansion.

Out of the Grand Duke's Mansion of Thrace, Kangxi breathed a sigh of relief, just now it really meant to be a companion to the king like a tiger!

In the future, if this "living Aobai" becomes the regent of the empire and the guardian of the royal castle, I am afraid his life will not be easy!

With a stomach full of thoughts, Kangxi led Natasha back to his house, and then he asked Natasha to take the servants in the house to pack his luggage, while he himself plunged into the study and found a few history books to "gnaw" - his "Aobai" eldest brother is very afraid of being the enemy of the Ming Dynasty, which may also make some sense!

Or do a good study, what if Daming is really difficult to deal with?

And in these history books, Kangxi found a few unfamiliar, but very important words, they are-steam engine, steamboat, railway, rear-loading gun, in addition to the rear-loading gun Kangxi can also find the appearance of the real thing from Zhu Xuanye's memory, this steam engine, steamboat, railroad or something, Kangxi didn't understand it at all. Zhu Xuanye also has these words in his memory, but Zhu Xuanye doesn't know much about what, and he definitely hasn't seen it.

What exactly is this steam engine for? Is it used for steamed buns? Why is this mentioned in the book as a big deal?

And a steamboat, what kind of steam is this? And what kind of ship?

And what does that railroad mean? Paving with iron plates? That's how expensive it is!

When she was racking her brains, Natasha had already pushed the door and walked in, and said to Kangxi with a smile: "Master, everything is arranged. Master, what are you thinking? ”

Kangxi was just thinking about it, but he didn't notice that Natasha came in, and he reacted when he was reminded, and asked casually: "Natasha, do you know what steam engines, steamboats, and railways are?" ”

"Know a little." Natasha nodded, "These are all novelties invented by university scholars in the Ming Dynasty, and there are many in Europe, but they are all concentrated in France, Britain, and the Netherlands, and the Holy Roman Empire seems to have steam engines, and plans to build railways, but Rakshasa is still a little worse than us here, and there are no them yet." By the way, we'll probably be able to get on the train when we go back to Paris! ”

Train? Kangxi was shocked and thought: Sounds dangerous!
