What a sincere messenger." Feodor said with emotion as he looked at the former servant Yakikv who had sent off Uyifeng back.

Miloslavsky was furious: "I think he is an arrogant, arrogant and stupid Tatar barbarian. Damn, damn!"

Feodor shook his head slightly, feeling a little disappointed with Grand Duke Miloslavsky. A Grand Duke who had been in charge of national affairs for many years was actually angered by a young messenger and was really unqualified. Feodor asked Yakikov: "Dear Yakikov, what do you think of this messenger?"

Yakikov has always been known for his stability in his work. The emperor admired the Uyifeng, while Miloslavsky only had anger. Yakikov had his own opinion: "Your Majesty, this envoy is very self-aware."

"Oh, what do you mean?" Feodor asked in confusion. Yakikv said: "On the way out of the Kremlin just now, he asked me about the addresses of some imperial institutions and the names of the nobles in charge. These institutions were prisons under various yamen. When he learned that some nobles or special people would be detained in the monastery after committing crimes, he asked which monastery in Moscow was clean and tidy and easy to deal with.

Obviously, he had a full understanding of his behavior just now, and he would be imprisoned and lose his freedom. And he provided me with a data, that is, his weight, and said that if he lost one Russian pound of meat, he would have you compensated ten thousand times the gold coins."

"Haha, what an interesting person. Yakikov, you send a servant and four soldiers to follow the messenger. From today on, he can go anywhere in Moscow city, but not leave. The others in the messenger can leave if they want. I like this messenger. No matter what the future is, he will be a good deal, right?" Fedor ordered.

Yaquikov saluted and said, "As you wish, my noble Majesty, I will treat him well and will never let him lose one Russian pound of meat."

After saying that, Yakikov was about to retreat, but Feodor said, "Yakikov, why did he meet Sofia? Have you found out clearly?"

"No, no, but I can be sure that he had absolutely any contact with Princess Sophia, and there was no communication this time. I have a feeling that he did not meet His Royal Highness as a Chinese envoy, but as a man. A bold guess is that he must have learned the rumors about Princess Sophia from someone, perhaps it was just a curiosity." Yakikov said his judgment, and of course he didn't know that spread rumors that Princess Sophia was fair-skinned and beautiful, and had a wide range of charm. Mr. Jin Yong hundreds of years later.

Miloslavsky said: "I can't be completely sure of this. Maybe your Majesty can call Princess Sophia and ask."

Feodor nodded slightly: "I'm just thinking about this, Yakikov, call Princess Sophia. Perhaps I need her wisdom on the issue of negotiations with China."

When Miloslavsky heard this, his face turned black. Whether it was the young Tsar in front of him or Sofia who was about to come to him, half of the blood belonged to the Miloslavsky family, which was the mother of the Tsar. But even so, Miloslavsky was still wary of Sofia because the strong princess was interested in politics since she was a child and her concentration was even greater than finding a man for herself. The Tsar was a weak person, and the national politics must rely on him. If Princess Sofia could directly participate in politics, the only difference was his authority. She thought she could suppress it, but she never thought that the Tsar wanted to use her.

Soon Princess Sophia, with a tiger-backed and bear-back waist, appeared in front of the Tsar, and Fedor directly asked and answered: "Sorry, my dear Sophia, I disturbed you today and let you take a walk outside in the snow and ice. Obviously, you must know that it was the messenger from the East who wanted to see you, and all this was for him to make him do what he wanted. However, I, the Grand Duke and all other people who knew about this did not understand why the messenger must see you."

"It's certainly not because of my appearance, His Majesty the Tsar." Sophia said with a plain face. She knew she was not a beauty. Then Sophia said: "What is certain is that I have no economic or correspondence with the country in the East, nor do my fiefs and subjects. If you send someone to my residence to search, you may be able to find a few underwear made of Chinese silk, but I can guarantee that it comes from Britain, Spain or the Netherlands, and it is shipped by sea."

"Haha, dear Sofia, you're over-concerned. I'm just asking. Maybe as Yakikov said, it was the annoying guy who heard something about you. Maybe that guy was deliberately creating a dispute between you and me. Okay, forget what happened today, Sofia." Fedor was not in the mood to search for Fyah's underwear, but he also knew that his elder sister's family was not just underwear in China, there should be a lot of information on her bedside.

This does not require searching. When he was young, Fedor visited his sister countless times. No matter what country or ethnic group declared war, the relevant information would be placed on the bedside and on the table. He still remembers that when he was a teenager, he heard his sister say that calling Khitan was a completely wrong pronunciation for China. It was just a destructive ethnic group in Chinese history.

"Yakikv, give Sofia a chair." Fedor ordered the servant. When Sofia sat down, Fedor pulled Yakikv and whispered: "Yakikv, tell Sofia what the messenger said just now. Except for the last..."

It is obvious that Yaqikv was able to become a prefect of the Tsar's imperial servant from a civilian without aristocratic status. He repeated many of the original words of Wu Yifeng, and all the important words were repeated in full. Sophia's face had not changed when she heard these words, as if everything had nothing to do with her, but she seemed to have not understood it, but the light flashing in her agile eyes became more and more grand.

After Yakikov finished speaking, Feodor said to Sofia: "Now you know the situation in our country. Obviously, it is very dangerous. Perhaps there has never been such a danger. A powerful Ottoman is already dangerous enough. Now there is another Eastern country that integrates the grassland and most of Siberia. It can be said that we are facing the Ottoman and Mongolia at the same time.

War is inevitable, dear Sofia, so I want you to take our dear brother to Novgorod, and the great duke, all of you. And I will also call all the lords of power to Moscow to expand the Duma meeting."

"Are you going to stay and deal with them?" Sophia immediately understood the purpose of the Tsar's arrangement.

Ivan and Sophia and Fedor are brothers of their same fellow countrymen, but unfortunately, he is a fool. In addition to him, the late emperor had a descendant, Peter, who was a strong child, but like the current empress dowager, he belonged to another family. Obviously, the Tsar wanted Sophia and Miloslavsky to avoid future wars. Once there was any problem with the Tsar and Moscow, he could establish a new Tsar, which was the fool Ivan. Because he was a fool, the regime would be controlled by Sophia and Miloslavsky. In that case, the new regime would be balanced. Although Ivan was a fool, he might not have children, and the Romanov family would not have inherited his descendants.

On the contrary, Peter wanted to stay with Fedor to share life and death with Fedor, and those real nobles. Once the sky and the earth really fell, Fedor could kill all the nobles. Peter and the Queen Mother, ensuring that the new regime would not have any opposition. This was the last move that Fedor thought of.

"Of course, dear Sofia, I am the Tsar, and I will be with Moscow and with my subjects." Fedor said seriously.

Sofia nodded slightly and said, "Your Majesty, can I give you a suggestion?"

"Please say, dear Sophia." Fedordor.

Sofia: "Wu Yifeng is the messenger from the East. If you and Russia are really in danger, please refer to his opinions."

"Didn't you say you don't know him?" Miloslavsky asked vigilantly.

Sofia nodded: "Yes, I don't know him, but I know that he came to His Majesty today, not showing off his power or showing sincerity that is meaningless in the field of diplomacy. He is here to show the attitude of Eastern China."

"What's the attitude?" Fedor asked.

Sofia said affirmatively: "China in the East just wants to seize our land, possess our wealth, and have no intention of destroying our country. Our war with the Ottomans should end without their participation. The war will rise again because of them, but it can also end because of them. Russia's existence is beneficial to China, Your Majesty."

"It's amazing, that sincere messenger ends up saying this. Dear Sophia, your wisdom is amazing, but I still don't understand why?" Fedor said with emotion.

Sofia said: "It's actually very simple. When China and the Ottomans reach an agreement, we have to face not only these two powerful opponents, but also the Crimean Tatars and Kalmyks. These two nomads alone can produce 100,000 cavalry, and the two powerful countries may be 200,000 troops or 300,000.

And we only have Cossacks, and you will definitely ask for help from King Sobesky of Poland and Lithuanian Commonwealth. Indeed, the war between us for the Ukrainian region has ended, and they are willing to fight against the Ottomans and Crimea, but Sobesky will not send troops to the Ural River, nor will he send us to protect our Moscow. I think you understand all this, so arrange for Ivan and I to Novgorod."

Feodor did not hide it anymore: "Yes, the prospect of war is very unfavorable to us. Even a large number of Cossacks defected to China. Once a war broke out, it would be a full-scale attack on the border thousands of miles away. I am not even sure if I am the last tsar."

"You are definitely not." Sophia said persistently.

"The demise of Russia is not good for China. We and our vassals have 8 million people. It is no longer the era when we were conquered by the Mongols. Especially if we lose Russia, China will have to fight against the Ottoman head-on. Although China is stronger, it is too close to the core of the Ottoman. It can be said that the Ottomans who have won the greatest benefit when destruction of Russia is the Ottoman, not China.

Countless history tells us that if two powerful countries want to maintain peace, it is best to have a buffer zone in the middle. But now, there is no decent buffer zone between us and the three countries of the Ottomans and China. It is best to maintain basic peace between major powers without buffer zones, so the three countries should restrain each other, just like now.

I can foresee that now they cooperate with the Ottomans to attack us, and one day in the future, they will also go south with us to attack the Ottomans.

Your Majesty, this country is so appropriate that it is compared to Mongolia just now. If you look at it, Sobesky will also see it. The monarchs of France, Habsburg, and Sweden will also see it. No country in Europe is willing to bear the iron hoofs of the Mongols. In order not to let the whip of God fire again, they will support us. Of course, this war is too late, but as long as we fall, they will definitely make trouble in the next war.

The messenger, or the person behind the messenger, must know this. They do not want us to perish, nor do they want the vast grasslands to be unstable. They want land and wealth, but obviously, the land does not include Moscow.

As our father said, it is easy to conquer the barbarians, but it is difficult to conquer a civilization, so it is for us Russia and for them." Sophia spoke his point in a firm tone.

Fedor and Miloslavsky were both shocked by Sophia's big argument. Fedor finally said: "Sofia, do you know? I really hope that what you are talking about is the facts, but no one is willing to take risks with Russia. You know to figure out the purpose of the Chinese and whether you have a way to kill the war in the bud."

Sophia said: "The messenger did not say his conditions because of you, I and all the Russian nobles would not agree. The messenger's words were right. Only failure can make people sober. Human surrender was just to prevent themselves from losing more. Now, the war has not broken out, and the nobles do not want to lose a piece of land, so there is no way to avoid war. Only when the losses caused by war are something that all nobles cannot afford, can you get the opportunity to end the war."

"When is that?"
