Chapter 66 The Grand Duchy of Minsk 8

In the small room next door, there were two people sitting.

Both of them look like they are around thirty years old, one with a distinct Turkic appearance, and the other with a stubborn Mongolian image.

By the way, the one who looked like a Turk is Hulugong, a Kazakhrei tribe, and his brother is Hulujin. He died last time in the battle of the Ersk Sect that protected Sun Dean. Later, his younger brother Hulugong took over his position and now he has reached the high position of commander of the army.

Hulugong is a Nestorian. After converting to Orthodox Church, he was extremely pious and restrained himself with doctrine everywhere. The one opposite him was Nolbu, the eldest grandson of Chechen Khan Shuolei. He grew up with Sun Dean since childhood. He is now Sun Dean's personal guard and the deputy commander of the personal army who is still above Mikhailchenko in Mir Castle in Minsk.

Generally speaking, Nolbu would follow Sun Dean to patrol around with three hundred elite cavalry. These three hundred cavalrymen are not like Mikhailchenko's 3,000 people, and are the closest people who can enter the palace group to guard.

By the way, most of these people are from Eastern Khalkha, and only a few are locals from Minsk.

The two were speechless because for them, the two people in the next room were discussing and quarreling.

woman.

A person who is over thirty years old and although he is still charming, he seems very ordinary to these two people.

That person is naturally the former Swedish queen Christina.

For Nolb, such a woman, no matter whether she had been a queen before or not, now that she has come to Konesburg and is attracted by her own "king", she naturally has to obey and follow him for the rest of her journey.

But for Hu Lugong, who is proficient in Orthodox teachings, his admiration for Ge Zhongwen is no less than Sun Dean. On the other hand, if Sun Dean and Ge Zhongwen had a conflict at this time, maybe he would stand beside Ge Zhongwen!

Of course, this is all internal. If the enemy is in front of you, everyone will abandon past grudges and be united in external ways.

"What's the point of talking about an old woman!"

As an Orthodox country, both Sun Dean and Ge Zhongwen should handle things in private and secretly. It is best not to let their subordinates know about it, but in the end, people including Hu Lugong knew about it. This time, Sun Dean rarely recruited Ge Zhongwen to the top floor of the cathedral to discuss. Hu Lugong was a little uneasy and followed him up.

After a while, Nolbu, who was usually careless, spoke.

Hulugong frowned and hesitated for a while before saying, "Don't say that. Christina is a former Swedish king. In our country, she is the role of Wu Zetian in history. How can she be taken lightly? Moreover, she is proficient in Christian doctrines and debates on doctrines. Even a group of higher priests in Rome are not an opponent, and she is also familiar with music, philosophy, and mathematics. Lord Ge Zhongwen has made great achievements in these aspects, so she has a great conversation with her..."

"But she is the one that Your Highness loves!"

Nolbu approached Hulugong and said fiercely.

When others saw Nolbu's expression and his identity, they would definitely be frightened and trembled all over, but Hulugong's expression was as normal.

"No, no, no, what you and I said is not the same thing. Alas, forgot, Christina was introduced to His Highness by the tutor. His Highness has been taught by His Majesty since childhood, and he can understand all kinds of disciplines, proficient in martial arts, and often practices. Christina's swordsmanship is also quite good. Because of this, Master Ge Zhongwen introduced him to His Highness. She is the daughter of the Swedish royal family and cannot be neglected easily. How can she..."

"Hmph", Nolb snorted coldly, "Sweden, what's that? Compared with my Daxia..."

"Bang!" At this time, a crisp sound of something suddenly hitting the ground from the next room, which scared the two of them. Nolbu stopped talking immediately, but he could not violate Sun Dean's order. Before Sun Dean entered the house, he said, "No one is allowed to enter without my order."

There was also a corridor about two meters wide between the two rooms, plus thick oak wall panels, and they didn't know what the next door was saying.

The two stood up and went to the corridor. After a while, Nolbu shouted boldly: "Your Highness..."

A sound came from inside immediately, "Get out!"

The two had to go back to their room. At this time, they had no interest in continuing to talk, and they all focused and paid silence to the movements in the next room.

Go back to the slightly larger room.

The sound just now was indeed sent by Sun Dean. He just persuaded Ge Zhongwen not to insert his and Christina's affairs, but Ge Zhongwen refused without hesitation. Sun Dean was angry and couldn't help but throw a high-quality vase from the local area on the table to the ground and smash it.

But Ge Zhongwen was unmoved at all.

"Your Highness, Christina is a Protestant and an important member of the Swedish royal family. Although Sweden is weak at the moment, it is still a force that cannot be underestimated in the Baltic region. How can you keep her in your private home, let alone use her to control the Swedish royal family!"

"Why not? On the night of the dance I held for her, she became my man. Now she is pregnant again. Isn't this the meaning of God? Although I can only marry one wife, in China, which high-ranking official and noble relative does not have three wives and four concubines? Why do they eat and drink spicy food in China and make us abide by the rules of the teachings?"

"But Your Majesty is here! He has realized that we have not reported these things to him truthfully over the years, and have also dismissed Sun Sike's position!"

"It's okay," Sun Dean picked up the teacup in front of him and took a sip, and said indifferently. In his mind, from childhood to adulthood, his father did not seem to have beaten and scolded them very severely. Even if he made such a big mistake in the Osk Sect last time, he did not receive any major punishment. Instead, he took on important positions like the Grand Duke of Minsk ahead of his other brothers.

"In Europe, whether it is Catholic, Protestant or Orthodox, which high-ranking official, the archbishop does not keep two or three beautiful wives and concubines? I, Orthodox, can marry a wife, but Catholic, Protestant priests are not allowed, but which of the seven German electoral emperors has no private rooms? Even the French prime minister and Cardinal Mazaran have several private rooms, let alone the royal family."

"But your Majesty will definitely not agree!"

"How can I tell? In the Esk Gate, due to my mistake, there were several senior generals who died in battle. My father didn't do anything to me, let alone a mere woman?"

Ge Zhongwen's expression changed drastically. He suddenly stood up and saluted Sun Dean, "Your Highness, can you tell the truth? Are you sincere to Christina or for the Swedish royal family?"

"What's the difference?" Sun Dean was a little surprised.

"There are big differences," Ge Zhongwen took a deep breath and said, "If you really like her, she has the intention, and I have nothing to say, but if you are mainly for the Swedish royal family, please let her go."

"Let her go?" Sun Dean curled his lips, "She is pregnant with my baby, how can she let it go? It's impossible. No matter what, she can only stay in Konesburg for the rest of her life."

"What if she doesn't agree?"

"Why? I am not worthy of her at all? I am younger than him, and I have been taught by my father since I was a child. I am proficient in mathematics, music, philosophy, etc., and martial arts. I can talk to her in any aspect..."

Speaking of this, Sun Dean suddenly thought of something. He glared at Ge Zhongwen, "Did you like her too?"

According to the past situation, this kind of thing would never happen in the country of Minsk Grand Duke under Sun De'an's jurisdiction. At this time, the senior officials of the Grand Duke were still mainly traditional people and were very respectful of people like Sun De'an, but Christina was introduced to her by Ge Zhongwen. Could it be...

"Yes," I didn't expect that this time Ge Zhongwen looked at Sun De'an's eyes and spoke, "Your Highness, before Your Majesty arrives in Koenigsburg, let's quickly understand this matter. Moreover, Grand Duke William is here now. The things brought by Grand Duke William are related to the future of the Grand Duchy. You must not distract Your Majesty from any more."

Sun Dean did not agree to it, and he continued to stare at Ge Zhongwen, "What are you good ways?"

Ge Zhongwen said: "According to the Protestant and Orthodox regulations, we cannot get married. However, the Minsk Grand Duchy is one of the most important countries in Europe, and I am the second most important minister to you. I am qualified to marry Christina. When His Majesty arrives, I will say that I have misunderstood before. The child in Christina's belly is... I am the one who takes the initiative to bear this infamy in order to protect your subordinates..."

Now Sun Dean couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

It was not that Ge Zhongwen's words made him realize, but that these words reminded him of what happened a few days ago. The people he arranged in Minsk came from, "As soon as His Majesty entered Minsk, he dismissed Sun Sick's legion commander, asked him to return to Crimea, and took away the position of deputy commander of Mikhaichenko, taking the military power of the entire Minsk in his own hands."

If he hadn't made obvious mistakes in this way, his father would not have done anything like this. At first he didn't care much, but after the reminder of Ge Zhongwen, who was known as the wisest Minsk, he suddenly woke up.

Of course, with his intelligence, he naturally knew that the root of the problem was that the Grand Duchy had concealed too many things from His Majesty and the Central Committee. With His Majesty's temper, things like storing private rooms, if he had reported them to him early in the morning, he might have agreed. The problem was that they had concealed them.

Another thing came to mind, which was that in history, a certain emperor of the Southern Song Dynasty had no biological heirs, so he could only choose from the royal family. In the end, he chose two people and gave them several palace maids respectively. As a result...

A cold sweat broke out on Sun Dean's face.

“Tu tu tu tu…”

At this time, the sound of Johann Chan's crutch hitting the oak stairs had already reached their ears.

Sun Dean stood up, "Well, you are right, Zhongwen, then you will be wronged."

At this time, he decided to consult Johnson Chan again. This person is respected after all. If he has the same opinion, then follow Ge Zhongwen's opinion.

After a while, Joshua Chan finally appeared in this house.

"inappropriate"

Unexpectedly, Johnson Chan did not agree with Ge Zhongwen's opinion.

And his words made the two of them fall into an ice cave.

"Your Highness, the tutor, is not an old man who relies on his seniority. I am one of the few people summoned by His Majesty the Pope at the Theological Seminary of the University of Cologne. According to the records of the Holy See, the total number of people with this qualification in the entire German region will not exceed one hundred people in hundreds of years. I think I am very talented. After coming to the Ming Dynasty, I quickly learned Chinese and could use ancient texts to report it to mathematics and astronomy. Before coming to the Ming Dynasty, I also met some European masters in mathematics and philosophy, such as Mason and Descartes. Of course, I am not as good as them, but I can also talk to you."

"But since I met Your Majesty, everything I have given me by the great God has been crushed to pieces. His attainments in mathematics, physics, astronomy and the formulas he has proposed are amazing. His cosmic origins have made me wonder about the great God. This is the only reason why I am willing to convert to Orthodox religion as he commands. In my eyes, Your Majesty is God, an omnipotent God."

"So, you must not hide everything from him. The only reason he did this in Minsk is that he was the emperor of this great empire and the only head of state. Political reasons occupied his brain for a moment when he made a decision, but he would definitely regret it after the matter was made, but once it was made, he would not change it, and the great Bogdahan would not make mistakes!"

"So, if you deal with it this way, he will be even more angry and things will be even more uncontrollable."
