Chapter 11: Emperor Feng Luming (4)

"What do you think of the student I will accept tonight?" Zhu Yinglong asked with a smile.

"Smart and beautiful, but unfortunately, are you from the Ming Dynasty?"

"Yes, I'm still a very scheming girl!" Zhu Yinglong said with a smile.

"Scheming?" Shi Kefa failed to understand it for a while.

"Xianzhi, don't be confused by her simple appearance. Everything about tonight was actually arranged by her. The Grand Duke Prosov must also listen to her." Zhu Yinglong said.

"No way?" Shi Kefa grew up and didn't believe it. The Ming Dynasty was gradually open to the outside world, especially Shi Kefa, who had more contact with outsiders, did not reject foreigners as before, and also had a certain favorable impression of Irina.

"The country is in a mess in Russia. The power of the clan, imperial power and great nobles are intertwined. Irina is the only daughter of the current Tsar. She also has an older brother, but she is also a waste. Her ambition is quite large. Don't underestimate this exotic princess!" Zhu Yinglong solemnly reminded.

"I must pay attention." Shi Kefa has always believed Zhu Yinglong's words and his face turned right.

"I suspect that it is this Irina who is against me behind the scenes of the Turgut tribe in the east!" Zhu Yinglong said.

"Why did the emperor accept her as a student?" Shi Kefa asked in confusion.

"A smart woman has always been very conceited. Since she is willing to do this, I will play with her. Isn't it very lonely when there is no opponent?" Zhu Yinglong paused for a moment and asked with a smile, "Xianzhi, what do you think?"

The king and his subjects smiled at each other, and everything was indifferent.

Irina is indeed a smart and studious student. She ran over in the name of the student early the next morning to ask the teacher for advice.

"Irina, you came to me early in the morning. You are such a good student. You are much more diligent than my princes and princesses." Zhu Yinglong smiled and looked at Irina in a purple pleated skirt. This girl is tall, at least half a head taller than a Han woman. Her figure is incomparable to Han women. She is bulging in front and raised back, which is perfect. It really has a unique taste when wearing Han people's clothes.

"Irina has met His Majesty the Emperor."

"No gift."

"Teacher Xie." Irina asked humbly, "Irina has a question that Irina wants to ask the teacher?"

"You ask?" Zhu Yinglong said with a calm smile.

"Irina thinks that no one in this world can match the power of the teacher, and even His Majesty the Pope can only give up on the disadvantage?" Irina said.

What this little girl wants to say? In terms of power and status, the Pope in Rome is a bullshit. I don’t know how many times he has been humiliated by him. But this guy seems to be masochist. He can’t do anything to him, but he still bit himself tightly. He is typically looking for nothing. This girl will not instigate him to start a war with the Roman Catholic Church. Obviously it is impossible. He smiled slightly and said, “Don’t compare the Pope’s hypocritical and dirty and ignorant guy at his bones with your great teacher!”

"If the teacher's words were heard by His Majesty the Pope, he would probably be crazy." Irina laughed with a "punch". In her eyes, the Pope was a serious and rigid dead old man, which was almost the same as Zhu Yinglong described. However, she did not have the courage to say the Pope. There were not many people in the world who dared to say these words, and even fewer people dared to read them boldly to the world.

"Haha, you are here to discuss this issue with me, right?"

"No, Irina came to find the teacher, but she was here to ask the teacher to help Irina and Russia." Irina said straight to the point.

"Although I promised to be your teacher, it seems that you have not performed a formal apprenticeship, right?" Zhu Yinglong smiled. Although you have no jokes, if you do not perform a formal apprenticeship, you cannot be considered a true master-apprenticeship relationship. This is a rule passed down by our ancestors for thousands of years.

"This..." Irina was stunned. Some things were not something she could understand in just one or two months until the Ming Dynasty.

"However, since I have recognized you as a student, it is considered the fate of our teachers and students. In our Ming Dynasty, the most important thing is fate. Tell me, how can the teacher help you?" Zhu Yinglong first made a small blow, then gave a glimmer of hope, and took the initiative completely.

"Thank you, teacher." Irina said excitedly.

The little girl is the little girl. Even if she has a very smart head, she doesn’t have rich life experience and experience, how can she beat the cunning fox?

Orthodox Church is Russia's state religion, which penetrates almost all aspects of Russia. It is impossible to completely eradicate it. The people have no faith, just like walking dead. Irina is so smart, so naturally she will not be so short-sighted. However, the power of the church is too strong and has endangered the existence of imperial power. Irina tried to provoke the struggle between the church and the great nobles, but that was impossible. Because of collusion with interests, the church cannot break with the great nobles. Without the support of the great nobles, the church cannot live a corrupt and luxurious life like now, so Irina failed, and the domestic big ones

The nobles and the church united to want Irina to marry into Poland. Naturally, Irina was unwilling to succumb to fate. Although her father was weak, this time he was a little bloody and did not want to see her daughter marry a man she didn't like. He also fell in love with a girl at that time. Later, under pressure, he not only separated, but went to a woman she didn't like. The girl's family was exiled to the bitter cold land of Siberia. She secretly sent Irina to the Ming Dynasty in the name of a mission to the Ming Dynasty, trying to use the powerful strength of the Ming Dynasty to force people in the country to make concessions!

"Teacher, my father, he wants to marry me to Poland. I don't want to, so ask the teacher to help me." Irina said with red eyes.

"Although I am your teacher, I am the order of my parents and the words of the matchmaker. I was the queen who married this way back then." Zhu Yinglong said with an incompetent look.

"The teacher can keep me in Daming and learn from the teacher. Poland dares not ask for someone from the teacher." Irina said.

"That's true, but you can't stay in the Ming Dynasty for the rest of your life, right?" Zhu Yinglong nodded and said.

"Three years, as long as the teacher can allow Irina to stay in the Ming Dynasty for three years." Irina asked.

"Okay, three years are three years, but in three years, no matter what you learn, you must leave!" Zhu Yinglong agreed.

"Thank you, teacher!" Irina said excitedly.

"Don't be busy thanking me. I can't accept you as a student in vain. With your intelligence, you know what I want, right?" Zhu Yinglong glanced at Irina coldly and said.

"Student understand." Irina's delicate body trembled gently, as if she felt the cold and harsh gaze, she hurriedly said.

"That's great. I will leave a room for you here. In addition, you can teach with my princes and princesses. If you don't know anything, come to me again!"

"Irina understands, Irina takes her leave!"

Zhu Yinglong knew very well that he and Irina were just using their relationship with each other. Irina used the protection of the Ming Dynasty to avoid her marriage with the Polish royal family, while she used Irina to solve the problem of the Turgut tribe's return to the east. Of course, Irina's purpose was not just to ask for protection. She also wanted to learn everything about the Ming Dynasty and go back to reform Russia. Perhaps this was her real purpose.

A seventeen-year-old girl has such a strategic vision that Zhu Yinglong has to help her, because her opponent is rare. Of course, Irina will not be his opponent, but her own son's generation, because I can't do all the work, and it's not good for her son to be too comfortable, which will lead to laziness!

Only with competition can there be development, only with struggle can there be progress. Survival of the fittest is the eternal truth!

I'm afraid that only Zhu Yinglong can do it in this world. Why is it still the same for hundreds of thousands of years in ancient times? Because there are no competitors, the threat comes from nature, not the same kind, and why does it develop so fast after hundreds of years? Because the competition is all human beings themselves. The more they compete, the more they develop, the more they are developing. Science and technology are changing with each passing day, and competition is the driving force, both external and internal!

Irina lived in the palace. Under her operation, most of the Turkut tribe, except for those who married local women and started their families, they began to pack their clothes, and began to embark on the journey to return to the east with their children.

In 1644, the seventeenth year of Chongzhen, the depressed Tsar Mikhail was seriously ill. On June 12 of the following year, Mikhail felt that his death was approaching, so he recruited his ministers and the crown prince to his bed, issued an edict to make Alexey the Tsar, and appointed the great noble Morozov as the minister of the regent. At three o'clock the next morning, Tsar Mikhail passed away due to edema.

After learning the news, Irina asked Zhu Yinglong to return home to attend the funeral. One night before leaving, she stayed in the southern study of the Yangxin Palace. She reluctantly left the next day. After returning home, Irina served as the princess of the regent and persuaded her brother Alexey to abolish the serf system and carried out a vigorous change in Russia. All the great nobles who opposed the change were ordered to be executed by her to strengthen work efficiency. The functions of the noble lord Duma Conference were deprived of the functions of the Senate, and the Senate was replaced with 11 committees (actually equivalent to Western countries).

The family's "department") was responsible for specific work; the minister of the great minister was dismissed and replaced with a religious academies, making the church a part of the state power; the administrative region was divided into thirty-five provinces. Irina also issued a "function table" to divide civil and military officials into fourteen different levels. All officials, regardless of their family background, must start from the lowest level and be promoted by merit. The various privileges of the church were reclaimed and only maintained their transcendent status. The next year, the unmarried Irina quietly gave birth to a baby boy named Peter Romanov. Zhu.

After Alexey's death, his sons were all foolish and incompetent. With the help of his mother, Peter eventually replaced him and became the Russian Tsar. He also announced that the Ural Mountains were the natural boundary line, and the east part belonged to the Ming Dynasty and the west part belonged to Russia, and signed a century-old friendship treaty with the Ming Dynasty!
