Chapter 977
Yunding, accompanied by the fog on the top of the cloud, is like a fairyland.

This plateau is less than 50 kilometers away from the center, and there are rivers, waterfalls, and of course royal gardens in the nearby cliff slope canyons.

In fact, the entire Yunding belongs to the royal family. Although there is a magnificent palace in Zhongdu, there are still more than a dozen palaces in Yunding Valley.In a way, the palace is a royal retreat.

As the honored guest of the Ming Dynasty, Princess Sissi, of course, has her own palace here—the white Achilles Palace.

This palace is a gift from Emperor Zhu, and it has long been built into a temple of art by her: the 10 "Muses" in front of the Ionian colonnade look calm and elegant; Hermes, the goddess of hunting Artemis and the goddess of beauty Aphrodite, stand on both sides of the garden path, and being in it is like coming to the garden of the gods in Greek mythology.

The beautiful white palace is hidden in the green forest.When walking in this beautiful garden with Sissi, Emperor Zhu can always see the "Achilles" that appear here repeatedly - Franz Matz's oil painting "Achilles on the Chariot" ", Gustav Herter's white marble statue "Dying Achilles", John Gatege's bronze statue "Victorious Achilles", Achilles is Sissi's favorite hero.

Emperor Zhu never asked why Sissi fell in love with Achilles, as long as she liked it.

As they walked and chatted, in front of them a pretty little girl, accompanied by a lady-in-waiting, was running in the garden. It was their daughter, Elizabeth, who had just turned three years old—and she had the same name.

"Elizabeth is happy every time you come over."

Holding his arm, Sissy, like all wives, lightly rested her head on his shoulder.When she was talking, she looked at her daughter who was only running, and her face was filled with unconcealable happiness.

"I know, I will come here often in the future."

Emperor Zhu nodded, and when he looked at his daughter, like all fathers, his eyes were full of doting.

Nodding her head, Sissy didn't say anything, and spoke after a while.

"You were thinking of Vienna, weren't you?"

As smart as Sissi, of course she knew why the man around her was distracted before. Even though she was in Daming, she often contacted the ambassador of the Austro-Hungarian Empire to Daming, and she also had a certain understanding of the movements in Vienna.

"Almost, after all, some things cannot be avoided."

Looking at the man beside her, Sissy said.

"Joseph is not a particularly shrewd ruler, but he will not betray his friends. At least he will not betray his friends first."

"I know, Sissy, Joseph is a good friend."

Emperor Zhu is serious, as good as Napoleon III.

"And Sissy, you know that Europe is too far away from Da Ming. For Da Ming, apart from maintaining the imperial alliance, Da Ming is not willing to intervene too much in the disputes of the old continent."

"Do you need me to come forward?"

Sissy looked at the man beside her, her beautiful face was full of confidence.

"Although I am here, I still have an influence on Vienna that outsiders cannot match."

"My dear, of course I believe that, but now is not the time..."

Emperor Zhu laughed.

"Besides, the reason why we are here is not to enjoy life?"

While speaking, Emperor Zhu ran towards his daughter, and played with his young daughter in the garden.

Although he is over 40 years old, in front of his family, Zhu Xianhai is just a father, husband or lover.

Looking at Zhu Xianhai who was lying on the grass and playing with her daughter, the frown on Qianqian's beautiful face relaxed, revealing the happiness from the heart.

He never knew that he was her Achilles, her hero, and what he brought her was never love, but unfettered freedom, but their marriage was each other's Achilles heel.

They are destined to be a tragedy together, thinking of this, there is a trace of melancholy and sadness on her face...

……

In Yunding Manor, there are no mundane trivial matters. Emperor Zhu can feel at ease here, riding horses and hunting with Sissy, Elizabeth, Monica, and Bellucci to their heart's content. Joke.

This land of thousands of square kilometers is, to a certain extent, the playground of the royal family, and of course, it is also the "golden house" of Emperor Zhu.

However, the happy time is always limited. After relaxing in Yunding Manor, on the evening of the third day, Emperor Zhu boarded the royal train and set off home amidst the roar of steam locomotives.

The train came from Zhongdu, and Liu Kunpeng, the minister of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, also followed. The reason why he came from Zhongdu in a hurry was to tell His Majesty that the kingdom of heaven was fooled by the British, and he planned to borrow money from the UK with tariff mortgages to build railways, Repair steel factory, repair arsenal, repair shipyard.It looks like you want to work hard and get on with it.

"Your Majesty, if the British do this, it must be a weasel wishing the old hen New Year's greetings. There must be no good intentions. Let's make preparations early!"

"Unexpected things."

After resting for three days, the refreshed Emperor Zhu said with a smile.

"We support one side, and the British will definitely support the other side. Their purpose is probably to support an opponent for Xuzhou, and even let the civil war in China continue forever-this is of course realistic, although the control area of ​​​​the Kingdom of Heaven is almost The four provinces of Jiangsu, Anhui, Jiangxi, and Zhejiang seem to have small territories, but their national strength is not much different from Xuzhou. After all, Jiangsu and Zhejiang have been richer than the north since the Song Dynasty. Their purpose of supporting the Kingdom of Heaven is not to unify China for the Kingdom of Heaven. It is to prevent Huaxia from standing on our side in future wars, or to make Huaxia overwhelmed."

Emperor Zhu smiled coldly. To be honest, he felt a little inconceivable that Britain had not started to "hook up" with the Kingdom of Heaven until now. How did he just remember it.

In fact, this is not to blame for the UK.

In the past more than ten years, since Daming has made good friends with Xuzhou, it has also made good friends with the Kingdom of Heaven, and even the warships of the Kingdom of Heaven were purchased from Daming.The United Kingdom just wants to support the kingdom of heaven, but it is also worried that meat buns will beat dogs and never return!

Now that Xuzhou has won the world, Ming can only choose one of the two. If Ming chooses Xuzhou, the kingdom of heaven will naturally enter the British option.

"Your Majesty, the British wolf is ambitious and intends to instigate the relationship between us and the kingdom of heaven. In my opinion, we should send a special envoy to express our attitude and try to stabilize him so as to prevent him from being used by the British..."

Liu Kunpeng's suggestion was a common one. After all, to a certain extent, the Kingdom of Heaven could be regarded as a quasi-ally of Ming Dynasty.

Although the cooperation between Daming and Tianguo in these years is not close, the relationship between the two has always been very good. As long as they send envoys, they will definitely be able to convince them.Prevent them from being used by the British.

Emperor Zhu was silent for a moment, then asked back.

"It seems that there is no need for this. We don't need to deliberately win over that side. After all, for Huaxia, the future there needs to be a winner."
