After the Gu of the Red Chamber

Except for the third prince who went back to Beijing directly because of 'discomfort', Emperor Pingkang and the other princes continued to wait for Princess Haijing's coffin. Not long after, Princess Haijing's coffin arrived slowly.

I saw several groups of Russian soldiers, all wearing black coats and holding muskets, slowly coming forward carrying a huge black coffin.

The coffin was painted black, it was extremely huge, and it was impossible to tell what kind of wood it was made of. Before the coffin arrived, Emperor Pingkang was already in tears.

"Finally home."

Emperor Pingkang looked at the black lacquered coffin, no matter how he looked at it, he felt that it was not pleasing to the eye. The coffin was certainly huge, at least twice the size of an ordinary coffin. Considering Hai Jing's status, a piece of golden nanmu would not be too much, why? Could it be just an ordinary coffin?

Although he was dissatisfied that the coffin was not worthy of Hai Jing, but thinking that Hai Jing had finally returned, Emperor Pingkang felt emotional and went up to pat the coffin himself, "Hai Jing, you have finally returned home, I specially brought... "

He glanced at Jia She, then suddenly blurted out, and said in a low voice, "I'm taking you home!"

Unlike Emperor Pingkang who only paid attention to Hai Jing's body, Jia She looked at the black lacquered coffin and the Russian Guards beside him, and felt a little wrong no matter how he looked at it.

Under the oppression of that system these days, Jia Amnesty was forced to learn a lot, not only the Four Books and Five Classics 120 times, but also a lot of miscellaneous books in Jia's study, among which Jia Daishan Notes left by others.

No matter how Jia She looked at the coffin, he felt that something was wrong. Even though he couldn't tell what kind of wood the coffin was made of under the black paint, he always felt that this coffin was really not worthy of Princess Haijing, who is the empress. .

According to the notes left by his father back then, the coffins of normal Russian nobles should have countless 'angels' carved on the outer layer of the coffin! ?

Although I don't know why the Russians carved the eunuch outside the coffin, but no matter what, it will definitely not be as simple and unpretentious as the coffin in front of me.

Besides, when he looked at those Russian Janissaries of different heights, Jia Amnesty felt even more weird.

According to what his father wrote in his notes back then, Princess Haijing is a so-called face control, and she is not allowed to wait on her if she looks a little bit worse. How come the Imperial Guards trained by her single-handedly have such a shabby appearance?Moreover, it is said that the Russians are extremely tall, as strong as a bear, and they are really not like these people in front of them.

Although Jia Amnesty was suspicious, he only thought that Princess Haijing would be treated harshly by the Russians after her death, and they would throw some crooked melons and bad dates to send Princess Haijing to her funeral, but he didn't take it to heart.

Even Jia She, who knew a thing or two about Russia, didn't take it to heart, let alone the others.

Although everyone felt that the Russian Imperial Guards were far inferior to their Great Jin Dynasty's Dragon Guards in terms of appearance, but they thought that Russia could compare with their Celestial Kingdom, and that's all. Many of Emperor Kang's visitors were ministers from the Lifan Academy, and the Lifan Academy usually received a lot of foreigners, so it was nothing if these Russians were not good looking.

"Emperor Jin!" The leader of the Russian Imperial Guard is a Tatar man with black hair and deep eyes. A group of handsome men, but at least among the young guards, only this man looked like a middle-aged man who was nearly forty years old.

The man said in a weird Chinese that was not very fluent: "We have returned Princess Haijing to Da Jin."

It's strange to say that as a Russian, it's not a big deal for the Commander of the Guards to not be fluent in Chinese, but Tu Lei has an inexplicable feeling from the man's irregular Chinese pronunciation, and some words are normal. , I feel that this person is not fluent on purpose.

Tu Lei tilted his head, and finally put that weird feeling behind him, just now... probably an illusion.

Li Fan Yuan Shang Shu took a step forward and said loudly: "Everyone has worked hard all the way, please enter the coffin shed to rest for a while."

Alcoholic beverages have already been prepared in the mourning shed. Although it is not good to drink alcohol because of funerals, it is the beginning of spring after all, and people have prepared sweet osmanthus brewed honey water. It tastes sweet and has little stamina, just to warm up the body.

The Russians were a little cautious at first, but after drinking the honey wine, they also began to talk loudly, and even began to speak in foreign languages ​​that everyone could not understand.

Originally, it was just talking in a low voice, but for some reason, the voice of the speech became louder. In contrast, the clan was still quietly and respectfully lined up, and there was actually two worlds separated by a thin line.

Emperor Pingkang frowned slightly, and was really displeased. Although people died like lights extinguished, these Russians were too disrespectful to the dead.

He scolded: "Let these people—"

"Father!" Tu Mingyu took a step forward and persuaded: "After all, they are visitors and guests, besides, they are all foreigners, so it's not surprising that they don't understand the etiquette of our Great Jin Dynasty."

Emperor Pingkang was dumb for a moment, he had always had the best face, no matter how much he disliked these Russian Imperial Guards, he would not be rude first, so he could only sigh and said: "Forget it, let's get rid of these people as soon as possible. "

"Yes!" Tu Mingyu softly replied yes.

He paused and said again: "Father, my son has ordered people to clean up the coffin, why don't you go there to rest first?"

Naturally, Princess Haijing's coffin would not be transported directly to the capital, but went straight to the imperial mausoleum on the outskirts of Beijing. However, it's not yet a good time for Qin Tianjian to pick up the coffin, so I'm afraid we have to wait.

Emperor Pingkang also knew the reason, and nodded slightly, "Lead the way!"

"Yes."

Tu Lei lowered his head obediently to make decorations, although he was really tired after waiting for a long time in the suburbs of Beijing and standing for several hours, but with Hai Jing's status, he deserved it.

Others don't know, but as Emperor Tianjing, he knows a thing or two. If it weren't for Princess Haijing, the peace between Dajin and Russia would not have been maintained for so many years. Less people send back some novelty things from Russia.

Although it was not valued by people at the moment, in the Tianjing Dynasty, the things that Princess Haijing sent back really saved them a lot of detours. Just because of this, it is worthwhile for him to personally welcome Princess Haijing back to the country.

It's just that he really doesn't understand one thing. For the ownership of Princess Haijing, Dajin and Russia had been fighting for nearly ten years. It wasn't until the year when his father came to power that Princess Haijing officially returned Da Jin, why is this life so early?

And not only that, when Princess Haijing returned to the country, he personally presided over it as the prince. At that time, Dajin and Russia had a friendly and in-depth discussion, but...

Tu Lei couldn't help looking around, what about Russian Katyusha cannons?What about the Russian warriors who came to find a place?Why are you gone?Could it be that because of returning home early, the Russians who were looking for a place back then changed their sex?

Tu Lei was really puzzled, and couldn't help but keep turning his eyeballs in the direction of the coffin shed where the Russians were.

Tu Lei is still a child, and his stature is not enough, even if his eyes are all over the place, no one will notice, except for Tu Tang and Tu Jiao who have been paying attention to him.

Tu Tan laughed and said, "Brother Lei, it's rare to see Westerners, right? No matter what, they are all visitors, so it's hard to treat them like monkeys."

Tu Lei just took a few more glances, but Tu Yan directly charged him with a crime.

Tu Lei said unhappily: "I didn't expect that elder brother's eyes are really sharp. My younger brother just glanced a little more, but others didn't notice it, but my elder brother noticed it."

Tu Lei intentionally expressed doubts on his face, "However, why does brother Yan treat these Russians as monkeys? According to my brother, even though these Russians are different from our Dajin people, they are still human. How can you treat him as a monkey? If you want to know the unity of the world, I am afraid that my brother has entered a misunderstanding."

Who doesn't know how to play tricks? In terms of hating, Tu Lei will never lose to anyone.

When Tu Lei said this, Tu Yan changed his face slightly, "Is it because I look down on these Russians, it's obviously you──"

Tu Lei interrupted bluntly: "Who mentioned the monkey first?"

"Ahem." He reminded tactfully, "They also understand Chinese, the two elder brothers should not talk about it."

Treating people like monkeys, is it true that these Russians can't understand Chinese?

He dared to swear that there were no less than double-digit Russians glaring at them when he said something about monkeys just now, and the commander of the Imperial Guard had a faint murderous look on him. Excited.

Tu Yan was dumbfounded for a moment, and when Tu Jiao saw this, he immediately yelled: "Brother Lei, this is your attitude towards elder brother!"

Seeing that he couldn't justify it, Tu Jiao directly used his identity to suppress people.

Although he and Tu Mo used to compete for the attention of their father, but at this time, they knew very well that they had to keep talking to the outside world!

Tu Lei rolled his eyes directly, and suddenly understood why his father hated his uncle so much. It is really annoying to put a concubine brother on his head, and always use his elder brother's status to put pressure on others.

Just when Tu Lei was about to taunt back, he heard Tu Mingwen scolded in a low voice: "That's enough! Shut up! Don't even look at this place!"

Tu Zhuan and the others shut up instantly.

Seeing the three Tu Lei brothers arguing with a smile, Tu Mingyu deliberately smiled and said, "My brother really envies my brother, my poor brother's knees are empty, it's hard for a child to argue about anything."

Tu Mingwen glared at Tu Mingyu coldly, with a rare look of embarrassment on his face.

He coughed lightly, "Prince, don't worry. After the filial period of the fourth concubine is over, the father will definitely choose another lady for the prince."

Upon hearing Tu Mingwen's words, Tu Mingyu's expression turned ugly. Although it is the dream of many men to be promoted, get rich and lose their wives, it depends on the situation.

Even if the royal family does not have the theory of keeping filial piety, Li Shi has just passed away after all. It is too eye-catching to marry a wife at this time, not to mention that because Li Shi had a son during the filial piety period, he was severely warned by his father , It's really not good to do it again.

Calculated in this way, during this year's filial piety period, not only is it difficult for the wife to remarry, but even the concubines in the mansion are difficult to have children, at least it will take a year or a half. Having another child, to say the least, another two years have passed.

Two years later, not to mention that Tu Mingwen had already taken control of the court, even Tu Lei was not a good match. At that time, he was not as good as Tu Mingwen, and Wuying's son was even worse than Tu Lei. What chance?

Tu Mingyu silently turned his face away, a gloomy look flashed in his eyes.

Some things can't be blamed on him, they are all forced.

Father shouldn't have given it to him and tried to take it back. He didn't even think about what would happen to the loser. He didn't want to be imprisoned until death, so he had to fight for it once.

The three Tu Lei brothers stood aside and ate melons silently.

Tu Lei shook his head secretly in his heart, he had been the emperor for too many years, his energy-raising skill was really not enough, even the fourth uncle was not as good as it, it was just a few gossips, what was he arguing with Tu Dan and Tu Jiao?

Don't say that these two people are better than him in nothing except their age, and it depends on the situation if you need to take eye drops. Right now, everyone is tired from waiting for the coffin, so the father is not in the mood to make an arbitration.

Just at this time, he suddenly heard some Russians mocking in Spanish: "Look at these little chicks, I don't know the time of death is coming..."

When Tu Lei heard that these Russians were speaking in Spanish, Tu Lei's heart skipped a beat.

Something is wrong with this!

Why do these Russians speak Spanish?
