Road to Shunzhi

Chapter 113

Archduke Frederick, younger brother of Mary II.Mary's husband was William III of the Netherlands.William III was a great man. Together with his wife Mary II, he deposed his father-in-law James II and VII, obtained the right to rule the British Isles, and was the head of the Commonwealth of the United Kingdom and the Netherlands.

With such an outstanding and sturdy sister and brother-in-law, Archduke Frederick's life is very easy.He heard that there is a mysterious country in the far east, where the tea and silk are unimaginably exquisite, so he was full of curiosity about the Qing Dynasty.Although Mary II was cruel and merciless to her father, she was still very kind to this younger brother, not to mention that she herself also wanted to do business with Qing Dynasty.Therefore, he sent a few guards, asked his younger brother to bring enough money, and followed the caravan across the ocean to the east.

Unexpectedly, life in Qing Dynasty was simply too wonderful.

Thanks to Fulin's open policy, the capital at this time is rich in goods, as well as rich in races.Foreigners who speak half-baked Mandarin can be seen everywhere buying this and selling that.The people in the capital are also calm about these people with different skin colors and hair colors, and some shop boys will even speak a sentence or two of Spanish.

Therefore, Frederick fell in love with the Qing Dynasty to the bone. Taking advantage of his tall stature and thick skin, he often wandered around the big and small corners of the capital, going wherever there was excitement, and learned a bit of half-baked Beijing movies. In the streets and alleys, no matter what food to eat, he will boldly try it, and he is even obsessed with eating stinky tofu, which makes his followers a headache.

Seeing coral by accident this time, Frederick's soul was ticked off.My older sister is already strong enough, but she is still a lady, and she will definitely not be able to whip a thief in the street. It can be seen that this girl is even better than her older sister. She is too powerful and admirable!We must know whose girl this is, and if possible, we must get her back to the country!Uh, if her family is not willing to marry her so far away, it would be nice to keep her by herself.Frederick happily imagined the beautiful days to come.

As the foreign side Fujin army is becoming stronger and stronger, and most of them have given birth to children, they take their children around the world without knowing the taboo.Mixed-race children are very cute, several mixed-race children have almost turned the capital, especially Xuan Ye from Boguoer's family.Therefore, the people in the capital have no opinion on marrying foreigners.Many poor people who went to sea by hard work brought back foreign wives from outside, and some gave birth to children.These foreign daughters-in-law naturally formed a small group, and they often got together to talk about their parents' family affairs. Frederick's entourage came to them helplessly, wanting to find out whose family the brave loli belonged to that day.

Coral is still quite famous.The eldest daughter of the emperor, the treasure held in the palm of his hand, the only woman in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and the leading princess of the Royal Relief Society, no one in the capital knows.The entourage found out easily, and Frederick immediately started committing a nympho.

Frederick has a chivalrous spirit, thinking: I like you, I have to let you know my heart, and let the whole world see it!Therefore, Comrade Frederick began to report to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Legislative Yuan every day.

Gao Sai was a little puzzled.Why on earth is this tall blond guy hanging around all the time?However, his status is not low, so he has to receive him personally.However, Frederick was no match for Gao Sai, and within two days he was told that the purpose of coming here every day was to take a look at the goddess Coral Princess in his mind.However, Coral didn't come over these few days, which made the big tall man scratch his head.

rely on it!

Gosser looked at Frederick with a vision that was infinitely close to that of a martyr.Who doesn't know that this princess is the lifeblood of the emperor, and she is more precious than the elder brothers. This foreigner dares to covet the princess. What is wrong with his mind?

Frederick was very happy.Although Gao Sai's words were vague, Frederick is very sensitive to the word "princess" at present, and he still understood his meaning. He felt that his feelings had been recognized by the elders of the princess, and immediately began to explain his feelings for the princess with his tune-changed Beijing film. Infatuated, Gao Sai's stomach hurts, and he intends to ignore him, but he is afraid that this guy's nonsense will affect the reputation of the princess, so he has to comfort him with nice words, and then immediately enter the palace and tell his emperor Brother: It’s not good, your daughter has been spotted by someone!

Fulin was completely embarrassed.Of course he knew about William III and Mary II. Even if his history was not good enough, he had heard enough from the merchant ships and envoys who came and went over the years.

These two tough people have equally tough deeds.Under their leadership, the Netherlands actually became a United Republic, with unprecedented development in culture, commerce, and even stocks.For a long time, the business exchanges between the Qing Dynasty and the Netherlands were relatively harmonious, but there were disputes over the Taiwan issue.However, this does not mean that Fulin is willing to marry his precious daughter to Mary II's younger brother.You must know that England at this time was still relatively poor, and a castle was made of stones. Fulin's brain was pumped to let his daughter marry so far away to suffer.

However, if you can get online with Frederick and negotiate business with Queen Mary II, it will be profitable no matter how you look at it.Fulin decided to summon this brat first and ask him to bring a letter of credentials back home.

Frederick happily entered the palace to meet the emperor, and even dressed up specially.Putting on his best outfit, bringing all five of his entourage, hair scrupulously combed, long boots polished, trying to look his best to the Goddess' father.

He didn't know that for his appearance, in the eyes of everyone in the Qing Dynasty, there was only one word: shivering.Just five entourages dare to act like this. In the Qing Dynasty, he was a small landlord or something, and he only ran rampant in one village.As for Fulin, the impression is even worse: he has no taste, shows off blindly, and even has a crush on his precious daughter, which is too much, and must be criticized carefully.

Frederick was also disappointed.He heard that the princess lived in the Forbidden City, and he thought that he could meet his sweetheart when he entered the palace, but he didn't expect the Forbidden City to be so big. He walked for a long time before arriving at the main hall, and then the main hall was full of men, and he didn't even see the edge of the coral. .

Fulin was very polite, asked about the situation of Queen Mary II and William III, asked some questions about business and trade, and then made suggestions on the trade route.Helpless, Frederick knew nothing about business, and he was so focused on meeting beauties that he didn't have the heart to answer these questions, which made Fulin even more dissatisfied.Also dissatisfied are Fuquan and Jinger.The two elder brothers are able to stand up and listen to the government, and they both understand how this foreigner covets his sister, seeing Frederick getting more and more distasteful.

There are not only a few people who dislike him in the court, there is also a cabinet scholar, Mingzhu.

Coral is his daughter-in-law!Mingzhu couldn't wait to rush up and shake the foreigner's neck, roaring and roaring.As the companion of elder brother Fuquan, Nalan Xingde studied and rode horses with Shan Hu since he was a child, and took great care of his younger sister who was a few years younger than him. Shan Shan looked like a queen, bright and charming.After a long time, student Nalan Xingde will naturally become a little distracted.

Mingzhu is happy to hear it, he has always been a qualified child controller, his son can marry a princess, it is definitely because his ancestors burned the incense.But at this time a foreigner appeared, and he directly expressed his love for the princess, Mingzhu made up his mind, and arranged for someone to beat the foreigner after returning home.

However, Frederick still opened up a new idea for Fulin: marriage.He has always insisted on not marrying girls, preferring to accept foreigner side Fujin, resulting in more and more foreigner daughters-in-law.Although it is fine now, he is worried that after a long time, girls from the Qing Dynasty will be unsalable instead.

But if the one who wants to marry is his own daughter, he is really reluctant.Or, can he use other methods?For example, how many girls are selected from which declining clan and trained so that they can take on the heavy responsibility of marrying out?

In the first month of the 28th year of Shunzhi, the emperor took the empress dowager and empress to Shengjing to inspect in person, and ordered the envoys who came to pay tribute and visit to go with them.

Shengjing hadn't had such a grand event for a long time, and it was very hectic for a while.The palace in Shengjing has been rebuilt long ago, and it is no longer as dilapidated as it was back then. The Yongfu Palace is even more resplendent, but it is still incomparable with the Forbidden City.Standing in the courtyard of Yongfu Palace, Bumbutai sighed deeply: "If future generations see this scene, they will definitely think that this palace is the most favored one back then."

Fulin smiled: "The winner and the loser have been like this since ancient times."

That's right, it's just winners and losers.You won and you were right about everything.Looking at the desolation of Guanju Palace now, and then looking at the beauty of Yongfu Palace, Fulin suddenly seemed to see in the distant time, that child who tried his best to please Guanju Palace and pretended to be cute and childish, and a tall and thin girl. An arm to lean on.

Most of the Manchus in Shengjing are side branches, but there is a relatively prominent family: the Guerjia family.The Guerjia family once produced a famous Oboi, the No. [-] Batulu in the Qing Dynasty, and then accidentally got involved in a conspiracy.From then on, this once prominent family was thrown into the dust all of a sudden, and the whole family moved to Shengjing.

Aobai had no children, and as time went by, Fulin's anger towards their family also faded a lot.What's more, when dealing with the rebellion, he and Dorgon completed it together.

Maybe Shengjing is too sensitive, or maybe the nostalgic atmosphere is too good. When Fulin met with Guerjia's current head, Erlun, his expression was obviously much calmer.

Oren was very excited, and immediately fell to the ground, showing his determination to use his wealth and life to serve the country and the king.Fulin expressed his forgiveness, and decided on the spot to let Oron's wife and daughter enter the palace to meet Bumbutai.

At the same time, Frederick finally saw the second side of the goddess in his dream.Fulin came to Shengjing with his children. When Shanhu and his brothers went out to the street, he was blocked by Frederick who was following him.

"Ah, Goddess, I finally see you!" Federer knelt down on one knee towards the coral, holding the flowers bought at a high price from the greenhouse, "Please accept my love!"

What's happening here?Coral, with a black thread on her head, silently took a step back.Fuquan, Jinger, Yongqian, and Nalan Xingde who were walking with her turned dark at the same time, standing in front of her with tacit understanding, especially Nalan Xingde, a great talent, looked at Frederick on the ground with fiery eyes, Always ready to abandon the literati airs and go forward to fight.

The author has something to say:

Well, after explaining the children's marriage and inheriting the throne, it's time for Fulin to die.And, the pressure on a certain river has been so great recently, and it is about to die.
