Chapter 611 Cooperative Capital
In August of the sixth year of innovation, the capital.

No matter how tortuous and bizarre the war broke out in the far north, it will not affect the stability of the capital after all. For the people who have been through wars for a long time, the rare stability at present is their greatest blessing, and the New Deal The implementation has also made their living conditions a little bit better.

Therefore, when Ning Yu led the imperial guards and arrived in Tianjin by sea boat, the situation he saw was much better than last time. At least the smiles on the faces of the people were from the heart feeling.

"Si'er, when the north was pacified, the capital had been short of food for a long time, and everyone's faces were pale, and there was also the tragic incident of cannibalism. Thinking about it now, I'm quite lamented."

On the imperial chariot, Ning Yu looked at the people outside the window, but couldn't help but sigh with empress Cui Si beside him. It wasn't because of how well he did, but because he felt from the bottom of his heart that what the people really wanted was a lot. Very few, but their life has always been very difficult.

Under all kinds of threats to survival, the common people are so interested in the prosperous times recorded in history books or passed down by word of mouth.

However, after really clearing away the fog of the times, you will find that those so-called prosperous times are essentially a history full of holes. The so-called prosperous dynasty.

Even if Ning Yu keeps the status quo and doesn't do anything anymore, after a hundred years, people will still miss the current prosperity.

But in fact, Ningyu can only let the people barely eat enough for the time being, and there is no way to improve the living standards of the people in essence, and once the New Deal stagnates, the situation will soon be subverted again.

This is the first time Cui Si has come to the capital. She couldn't help but look out of the window a few more times, and said softly, "Your Majesty, after all, rice is eaten one bite at a time. As long as you eat a little, you can change the status quo."

When she said this, she couldn't help but raised her head and smiled: "A few days ago, I had a few maids who were sent back to visit relatives. After returning to the palace, they all said that people in my hometown are much better now. As long as they work hard, No one died of starvation happened, these are the achievements of His Majesty."

Ning Yu smiled lightly, and stopped talking at the moment, and rushed all the way to the palace. According to the usual practice, he still lives in the Changchun Garden to handle relevant military and political affairs.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, Xiao Ce Ling wrote a letter requesting His Majesty to send an army to rescue him. He has been besieged by Gete for more than a month now, and Yining is not a strong fortress. I'm afraid it won't last long."

Uji King replied respectfully, since the Privy Council would send a streamlined group of Privy Ministers to report to the emperor a series of important military and political affairs when the emperor was on tour, so Uji King would naturally accompany him, but it was just a matter of turning around. His work made his eyes a little red.

Ning Yu quickly took the booklet, read it briefly, and then said softly: "I heard that Nian Gengyao's head has been delivered?"

"That's right, this bandit army has been completely annihilated, and its head was given to Xiao Cering. I heard that in order to see the head, Cering personally went out of the city to defeat a part of Ge Ce's army. That's why I responded. The people who took us into the city.”

When Uji Jing said this, he couldn't help showing a little weird expression on his face, but he seemed to think of something.

Ning Yu snorted, turned the folder over and put it on the table, and said softly: "It's nothing more than acting. He knows that I won't let him pass the test easily, so he cooperates with me to act out this one. He wants It is really that easy to defeat Getce, what will I think of him in the future?"

"A tiger whose teeth have not been pulled out? Or an eagle whose wings have not been removed?"

Ning Yu sneered and said: "If he wants to live, he has to ask me to believe that he has gone to the minion, Uji King, tell the ninth division, don't rush to the north to rescue the siege, first wipe out all the remaining forces in the surrounding area Say it again!"

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Just when Uji King continued to report some trends on the northern battlefield, there were two men in black standing outside the palace, both wearing veiled hats, and one of them pulled the veiled hats away. It was the current shadow leader Ning Luo Yuan, while the other person has been standing in the shadow of the porch, silently.

Ning Luoyuan suddenly said: "Your Highness, please pay attention, Your Majesty's time is precious, and your chances are not many."

The man in black pulled back the veil on his face, revealing a face that is enough to make people flustered. There is a bit of cunning in the blue eyes, and she is the one who came to the capital after traveling thousands of miles. Princess Elizabeth.

"His Majesty, is he an old man?"

Elizabeth bit her lips lightly and spoke not-so-fluent Chinese. Since she fled, she had already started to learn Chinese, but her face still showed a little unnaturalness.

The reason why she chose to follow the shadow people to the East was to a large extent because she had despaired of the current Russian political situation, especially the counter-offensive stance launched by the conservatives, which made Elizabeth understand that the overall situation was irreversible.

Of course, Elizabeth hopes to get help from the Western countries, but the situation is changing too fast, and the Western countries' actions are obviously much slower. On the contrary, the Eastern Chinese people are the first to do it, so she naturally has no other choice.It's just that Elizabeth felt a little sad when she thought that the other party was an old man.

Ning Luoyuan smiled slightly, and did not answer Elizabeth's question, but deliberately deviated from the topic, saying: "His Royal Highness came to the east in the same way, in the future, if you have a chance, you can see more of the scene of my celestial dynasty, which has a different flavor compared to your country. , but whether Her Royal Highness the Princess can return to St. Petersburg in the future seems to be open to discussion."

Elizabeth was slightly taken aback, but before she could speak, a civil servant in red official uniform came out of the hall. He first glanced at Ning Luoyuan, then at Elizabeth, and said softly: "Your Majesty has orders, Lord Ning and His Royal Highness the Princess please have an audience."

The two hurriedly marched towards the hall under the leadership of the civil servants. After only a few dozen steps, Ning Luoyuan stopped, and Elizabeth also stopped. She couldn't help but looked up curiously, but found a A young man in his early 20s was looking at him with a smile on his face, and there seemed to be a little surprise in his eyes.

Indeed, for Ning Yu, when he saw Princess Elizabeth for the first time, he was really amazed. This girl is worthy of being called the jewel among European princesses. Chen Caiwei must be even better, and her exotic style makes her even more attractive.

"Chen Ning Luo Yuan has seen His Majesty."

"Elizabeth has seen His Majesty."

After a brief eye contact, the two hurriedly saluted.

Ning Yu gently raised his hand, and said: "The princess has come from a long way, and I was supposed to go to greet her, but I am busy with things, and I really can't get away. Please don't be offended, princess."

Elizabeth nodded slightly, and looked at Ning Yu with burning eyes, "Your Majesty, if you can send someone to bring me from thousands of miles away to Dachu, I believe you should understand my situation very well. In fact, until now, I still don't understand why It's all going to happen."

"Do you mean Menshikov staged a coup? Or did I send you here?"

There was a little smile on Ning Yu's face, he knew that Elizabeth was definitely not the vase that the world said, in fact she was a very smart and cunning woman.

To deal with such a woman, it's useless to spend all your time playing tricks, only by going straight to the point can you completely subdue her.

Sure enough, when Ning Yu talked about Menshikov's coup, Elizabeth's eyes were a little flustered, because the guess that she had been unbelievable for a long time finally came true, that is Menshikov's coup. Behind it, there is a Chinese conspiracy.

I have to say, this is a very scary thing.

Because no matter from which angle it is explained, it can be explained that at least one point, the Chinese people's understanding of the Russian Empire is deeper than they imagined, and it has even quietly penetrated into the upper layers of the Russian Empire.

But this country is still at war with the Russian Empire, so this is simply a chilling thing.

Elizabeth sorted out her thoughts almost in a short moment. She held back the doubts in her heart and forced a smile: "Your Majesty should understand what I mean, but now the Menshikov coup has passed, and I care more about Your Majesty." The reason someone brought me here."

Ning Yu chuckled, but walked down from the throne, with his hands behind his back as if strolling in a courtyard, and said softly as he walked: "Although you don't ask about Menshikov's coup, I still want to say In other words, this incident was not planned by me, Da Chu, at most we just stuffed some firewood into the fire."

"firewood?"

There was confusion in Elizabeth's eyes, she looked as surprised as a little squirrel trying to steal.

"That's right, actually this matter has a lot to do with your father. As a great emperor, although he is a senior that I need to respect, he is not as wise as you in the way of governing the country. In fact, your current The predicament was caused by your father alone."

Ning Yu ignored Elizabeth's resentful eyes and continued, "If it wasn't for the coup d'état by your mother and Menshikov, I'm afraid this day would have come sooner rather than today. You thought Menshikov was just doing it for himself. Ambition to start a rebellion?"

"Isn't it so? This sinister villain!"

When talking about Menshikov, Elizabeth couldn't help being angry. In her opinion, the source of all this was Marshal Menshikov.

Ning Yu shook his head, and said softly: "Menshikov is very clear about his situation. Once he loses power, the conservatives will never let him go, and the person who hit him hardest is the one he personally supported. Peter II also betrayed him. In fact, even if Menshikov did not choose a coup, he would at least be exiled. As for you, your fate will never change."

Elizabeth was slightly silent, with a little sadness on her face. It's not that she couldn't understand these words, but no one had ever been able to tell her.

As the daughter of Peter the Great, she is destined to suffer more hardships.

Ning Yu looked at the bright girl in front of her, but in her heart she thought of the Queen Elizabeth in history. In another world, she experienced countless conspiracies and tricks, and finally chose to devote herself to the conspiracy to destroy everything left by Peter the Great. They were all brought back successfully, which can be called a very legendary life.

It's just that Queen Elizabeth of that era was never married, and she only favored a Ukrainian singer in her later years, and she might not be so happy.

"Elizabeth, I sent someone to bring you to China for the simple reason that Russia is my enemy."

Ning Yu's voice was as calm as water, even when talking about the enemy, he never had any emotional fluctuations, "And you, as a descendant of Peter the Great, will be the most qualified person to inherit the Russian throne after Peter II, I can support you, defeat Anna, and make you the new empress of the Russian Empire."

"The new queen? Isn't it the new puppet?"

Elizabeth sneered again and again, and said: "Your Majesty the Great Emperor, you are indeed the enemy of the Russian Empire, because you are trying to control the entire Russian Empire through me, but don't forget that I am also a woman of the Romanov family, and I am also Peter the Great daughter—I will never submit."

Ning Yu smiled slightly, "So what if you surrender or not? Even if I let you go now, do you think you can reach Moscow alive? What Anna wants to see most now may be your head!"

Elizabeth was silent, she didn't need to justify this question at all, otherwise she wouldn't have come here.The reason why she said this is to explain to Ning Yu that she is not just a bargaining chip, at least she needs to use more things to measure her own value.

Ning Yu walked up to Elizabeth, looking at the porcelain doll-like face in front of him, he felt an evil interest, he stretched out his fingers and gently raised the other's face, as if a prodigal young man was molesting a girl from a good family generally.

"Cooperate with me, Romanov will still be Romanov, and the Russian Empire will still be the Russian Empire!"

"Then what does His Majesty want?"

Elizabeth bravely raised her head and looked at the young man in front of her, but her heart beat involuntarily.

"you."

Just when Elizabeth's face turned red for a moment, Ning Yu let go of her hand, turned her hand and laughed loudly, and said with a smile: "You need to do something for me, go to Vladivostok to help me persuade the local Russian army to surrender , After they surrender, they will be your direct power."

After all, Elizabeth is just a 20-year-old girl. After being molested like this, she was already extremely annoyed in her heart. She said to Ning Yu loudly: "No, with my current status, they won't listen to me at all, let alone will choose to surrender."

"If you can't do it, I won't cooperate with you."

Ning Yu sat in front of the table, writing something quickly with a pen, while speaking coldly.

"After all, waste has no value at all, does it?"
