Chapter 524 The biggest test in Kangxi’s life (please subscribe!)

Author: Linjiang Jun

It's a bit of a boast, but it's not a problem for the Ming Dynasty to recruit 200,000 servants in Southeast Asia.

Kangxi also calculated in his heart that if Ming Dynasty could join the battle against Tianzhu, then temporary peace should be maintained between Ming Dynasty and Qing Dynasty, and then he would really have no worries.

Moreover, Zhu Kezang has a strong point, that is, he has the spirit of contract. He said before that he would not fight for three years, which means he would not fight for three years. Can he sign a longer contract this time?

The most important thing is that even if Daming wants to fight, there is nothing he can do against Daming.

Thinking of this, Kangxi nodded with a smile and said: "The Ming Dynasty wants to send troops to Tianzhu, of course I agree, but the Ming Dynasty must sign a non-aggression treaty with the Qing Dynasty!"

"Easy to say, easy to say, I, Ming, have the most contractual spirit!"

Nalan Xingde was very happy. He had completed Zhu Kezang's mission and had an explanation when he returned. Moreover, he also found out a key piece of information!

That is, the queen of Kangxi was fat, ugly and looked like a man. This news will definitely make Long live the Lord smile.

Suddenly Nalan Xingde remembered something important and said quickly: "Kangxi Khan, why don't you take a look at the gift that I, the Ming Dynasty, gave you, so that you can see the sincerity of my Ming Dynasty!"

After all, regardless of whether Kangxi was happy or not, with a hint of unwillingness, he arranged for the guards to bring up the football-sized luminous pearl, and specifically asked Kangxi to close the window tightly.

This battle made Kangxi wonder if Nalan Xingde was here to assassinate him!

After thinking about it, Zhu Kezang should not be so short-sighted. The existence of Kangxi would not affect Zhu Kezang's great cause, so he agreed to Nalan Xingde's request.

With a "swish", Nalan Xingde lifted up the silk cloth covering the luminous pearl.

The huge night pearl blinded everyone's eyes.

British diplomats, Spanish diplomats, envoys from the Khotan Khanate and the Snowy Plateau, as well as the younger brothers of the Junggar, Kazakh Khanate, Bukhara Khanate, and Khiva Khanate were all stunned.

“Wow, so beautiful”

"It's so shocking!"

"What kind of gem is this? How can it be so beautiful?"

For a time, everyone was intoxicated by the treasure of the Night Pearl.

Ming Dynasty, highlights a "tyrannical" one!

Bentinck, the British and Dutch ambassador, once again strengthened his determination to have good relations with the Ming Dynasty.

Look, they even give such luxurious gifts to their former enemies, so they must treat their friends better, right?

The same was true for Kangxi. Although he had seen countless rare things, treasures that shone brighter than this luminous pearl were indeed rare. This beautiful sight made Kangxi's face change.

He remembered that his grandmother, the Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang, also owned such a bead, and it was he who gave it to Xiaozhuang.

Kangxi once thought that there was only one such treasure in the world, so why did the Ming Dynasty also have it?

If Zhu Kezang knew what he was thinking, he would definitely say, not only do they have it, but they can also wholesale it!

"Where did you get this pearl?" Kangxi asked suppressing his inner uneasiness. He was afraid that it was dug from Xiaozhuang's tomb.

"Back to Kangxi Khan, this pearl comes from Southeast Asia. It is rumored that it is the dragon pearl of the Dragon King!"

Kangxi looked at the luminous pearl intently and remembered that although the size was similar, the Xiaozhuang pearl was already very dim.

As the saying goes, seeing things and missing people, when Kangxi saw the Night Pearl, he thought of the Empress Dowager. This pearl was not suitable to keep around him.

He looked around at the envoys from all over the world and wondered if he could sell it afterwards so that he could have a military fund.

At this moment, Princess Sophia's eyes flashed, she looked at Kangxi and then at Ye Mingzhu, the meaning was obvious: she wanted it!

"Queen Sophia, although this bead is beautiful, it is not what I need, so I will give it to you!"

These words surprised Sophia. Is this meant to be given to her?

This is a sky-high price treasure. Princess Sophia wanted it very much, but she could only refuse it quickly, "Kangxi Khan, I don't dare to ask for such a precious thing!"

"No problem!"

Like a domineering president, Kangxi walked straight to the Night Pearl, picked it up, and handed it to Sophia.

This scene made all the guests envious, and people praised Kangxi and Sophia's sincere "love".

At the same time, the guests surrounded Nalan Xingde one after another, all trying to make friends with Ming Dynasty through Nalan Xingde.

Since the appearance of the Night Pearl, this banquet has become the center of attention, and the focus of the crowd has changed from Kangxi to Nalan Xingde.

This made Kangxi very unhappy, so he hastily announced the end of the banquet. The envoys from various countries left a lot of congratulatory gifts, and then asked Nalan Xingde to have a drink and tea together.

In 1689, the first day of September, it was an auspicious day, and everything was suitable.

The crackling sound of firecrackers resounded in the small city of Astana, and crowds of people crowded in front of the Khan Palace.

Everyone crowded at the gate and looked inside curiously. These people not only wanted to see the graceful figure of Princess Sophia of the Rakshasa Kingdom, but also wanted to see if they could catch a glimpse of the Pearl of the Ming Dynasty.

The crowds were bustling, but one of the shortcomings of the Qing and Mongol United Empire was exposed, that is, the number of languages ​​​​that came to the DPRK was a bit troublesome, including Mongolian, Manchu, Chinese, Rakshasa, Turkic, Persian, and Tibetan.

It was obvious that such a large empire could not last for long, and Kangxi himself knew this very well.

We can only use them for a short period of time. Once Tianzhu takes over, everything will be easy.

Now we must unite these rabble!

Today's wedding between Kangxi Khan and Princess Sophia has been packaged by Kangxi and Princess Sophia into a grand ceremony showing the unity of the great empire.

Since it is a grand ceremony that has been carefully packaged, naturally not just anyone can enter the city of Astana to watch the ceremony.

At this time, the people gathered in the Khan Palace were all wearing decent clothes. Most of the men among them had their hair shaved and braided. Obviously, they were all good slaves of Kangxi Khan!

The women all wear loose clothes and veils on their faces.

The reason why they hang up the veil is naturally because they are worried that they will steal the spotlight from the bride.

Otherwise, all the female guests who came to the wedding would be more beautiful than the bride, which would hurt Kang Mazi’s heart!

But the key is not to look at the face, just looking at the figure is enough to hurt Kang Mazi's heart.

In this regard, Kangxi could only keep hypnotizing himself: good fertility, good fertility!

As for the city of Astana, it is of course heavily guarded!

There are posts at five paces and sentries at ten paces everywhere. They are all Eight Banners elites wearing yellow jackets and chainmails. They all carry lead-loaded matchlock guns on their backs and have grenades hanging from their waists.

The Elites of the Eight Banners were fully armed and guarding everywhere inside and outside Tashkent. It was unthinkable to assassinate the Kangxi Khan or something like that!

When the time was approaching noon, the spectators suddenly heard a burst of cheerful gongs and drums and cheers. It seemed that the wedding team had arrived!

"Kneel down!"

"Everyone kneel down to pick up the driver!"

The Eight Banners elites guarding the roadside saw the wedding team approaching from a distance, and they shouted loudly together, asking the people watching along the street to kneel down to greet Kangxi Khan and Sophia.

About an hour ago, Kangxi Khan, who was wearing a bright red dragon robe, led a wedding procession clad in red and colorful decorations from the Khan Palace to the outside of Astana, where he personally wore a Rakshasa-style wedding dress.

Princess Sophia invited in an eight-carriage sedan chair carried by eight Manchu soldiers!

Then he turned back and returned all the way to the Khan Palace.

At this moment, Kangxi Khan, who was riding on his horse, looked at the people kneeling in two rows on both sides of the street, and felt really uncomfortable in his heart!
