Chapter 153 Don't Leave and Don't Give Up

"In the early morning of March 13, the Petrograd Soviet delegation, which had finished the first plenary session, rushed to the hall on the second floor of the Tavrida Palace, waiting for the statement of the Provisional Committee of the State Duma. Milyukov, a constitutionalist, opened the door and said solemnly: "It has been decided that we are in power." What greeted him was not a curse, but a deafening cheer. When Milukov went downstairs to Yekaterina Hall and was about to give a speech, someone asked provocatively, "Who chose you?" The historian answered confidently: "Revolution! It was the revolution that chose us!"

On March 15, after Guccikov and Shulikin returned to Petrograd with an edict of abdication, the interim committee announced the list of members of the New Deal Axe: the last prime minister appointed by the Tsar, the constitutional party personality Orgi? Prince Li Wolf is the Prime Minister and Minister of the Interior, Milyukov is the Minister of Foreign Affairs, 10 cabinet members are neutral, and the Constitutional Cook Party occupies half of the seats. In addition, the Progressive Party also occupies 2 seats. In October, Guccikov, a member of the Party, is the Minister of the Army and Navy, the non-party person, Tereshenko is the Minister of Finance, and Kronsky is in his personal capacity. Participate in the political axe and serve as the Minister of Justice. Because the future form of government in Russia will not be decided until the newly elected Constitutional Convention is held, this new political axe is awarded the title of "temporary political axe".

After the candidate list was released, the Soviet held a meeting in the Catherine Hall to discuss the executive committee's resolution on trusting the New Deal Axe. The Soviet immediately passed a resolution, declaring that "the most urgent task at present is to fight against any attempt to undermine the organization of the temporary political axe and obstruct its realization of the political platform. . After that, the temporary political axe began to work as the highest political leadership in Russia, and the Soviet became his supervisory organ.

On March 18, Tsar Mikhail abdication..."

The Drama of Russia

In Nanjing in March, it is already a bright spring, spring breeze and green south bank. This word is most appropriate to describe Nanjing in March. At this time, the most beautiful scenery of this imperial capital is probably Zijin Mountain. Every spring comes, Zijin Mountain has always been from Beijing. There is still a forbidden place on the mountain, which can only be queued up to visit - the Royal Garden.

In China, the Royal Garden may be the largest Western-style garden in China. This Garden, which has been expanded many times in the past 12 years, is to some extent a gift from the emperor to the queen. This large-scale royal garden designed by dozens of the best architects in Europe is full of artistic atmosphere. It's like a fairy tale-like world. For the royal family, this is a world exclusive to beauty. The palaces and castles are completely combined with the surrounding natural landscape. There is not much water on Zijin Mountain, but here in this forest and lush field, there are four artificial lakes quietly spreading, velvet-like smooth sinking. Because of this, this is the most beautiful scenery on the whole Zijin Mountain.

However, this beautiful place is like a forbidden place for most ordinary people. Except for the members of the royal family, only those meritorious ministers can enjoy a small villa in the other garden. Of course, there are also some royal friends who can move in, and these friends are often specific objects. For example, the diplomatic envoys of a major country can accept invitations at a special time to come here for an outing or escape the summer heat. Except for the royal family members and meritorious ministers who own villas here, there is probably only one special case - Lord Lisa.

This female lord who married far away from Russia, although she had married far away from Russia long before the completion of the other garden, she still left a villa for her when it was built. To some extent, this is more of a symbol, which means that her home is here, in China, in Nanjing.

A few days ago, the title of the female court officials changed from the "madam" to the "queen" in the past, because her husband had inherited the throne of the Russian Empire. At that time, no one knew that the title only lasted for a few days.

"I have to go back to him!"

Looking at Ji Li, Lisa with tears on her face said stubbornly.

A week ago, she became the queen of the Russian Empire. On that day, the Russian ambassador to China and the ambassadors of several other countries even congratulated her, and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs also sent people to congratulate her, but they did not know that in her eyes, this was not a happy thing. She knew that her father-in-law What does it mean to inherit the throne... It means that his brother Nicholas finally threw the "trouble" to Mikhail, just like what Nikolay wanted to do but failed to do more than 20 years ago.

Can Mikhail get this desperate empire back on track again? On the contrary, a few days later, when Ji Li personally told her that Mikhail had abdicated, she breathed a sigh of relief, and even said to Ji Li that maybe she should let Mikhail come to China, a new Russia, which may not welcome the old royal family members. Over the years, her understanding of politics has made her deep. I know, maybe this kind of active abdication may be able to save their lives, but that country has actually rejected them.

But what about now?

Ji Li once again brought worse news. Mikhail died at the hands of a group of mobrities. After the riots in Petrograd, Grand Duke Mikhail had been taking refuge in the private residence of Duchess of Pujakina on Millionaire Street. As the Tsar's younger brother, he returned home and would only become a mow. Although she knows the gorgeous name of the Duchess of Pujiatina and their past, Lisa can still understand that this may be his only choice. At least in terms of personal dignity, as the Tsar's younger brother and the Grand Duke of Russia, he will never accept the invitation of the Chinese Embassy to avoid it. Difficult.

But during the riots, Millionaire Street, where a large number of nobles and millionaires lived, was constantly attacked by mobbs. When she took refuge in the home of the Duchess of Pujiakina, it was also hit by the mobbs. In the process of mober robbery, some mobbeds saw the Duchess Pujiakina and tried to rape the other. In the face of this situation, Mihail stood up, but died at the gunpoint of the mob... Perhaps this is Mihail's surname. He died like a man as he had always hoped, in order to protect a woman.

But is this really the whole story?

Lisa didn't know, and now she didn't want to know. All she knew was that she had to return to Russia, return to her husband's side, and preside over his funeral, which was her responsibility as a wife.

"Lisa, as a wife, is indeed your responsibility to hold a funeral for Mikhail, but..."

Looking at Lisa with tears on her face, Ji Li also looked hazy with tears in her eyes, and Lisa was also her sister.

"However, you must know that now you are not only Mikhail's wife, but also the queen of the Russian Empire, and Nasha, who is the heir to the throne of the Russian Empire, you..."

"Is there a Russian Empire in the world?"

Lisa, with a sad face, whispered, and there was no light in her beautiful eyes.

Mikhail has abdication. He hasn't even ascended the throne. He just fulfilled his responsibilities for a few days.

"Mikheil..."

"There is no doubt that he is the emperor of the Russian Empire!"

Taking a deep breath, Ji Li looked at Lisa and said.

"Sister, I sent a telegram silently to tell me that the embassy found Mikhail's abdication. There was only one document, a document taken out by Kerensky and others. He himself has never appeared since then. Now... He, he doubts whether there is any conspiracy!"

Conspiracy, when referring to these two words, Ji Li's heart only felt a chill. Russia, China, two similar and different empires, is this the fate of the royal family?

Even Britain has paid the price of the king's death, and so is France. Now it is Russia. What about China in the future?

"Conspiracy?"

Looking at Ji Li puzzledly, Lisa didn't quite understand. As far as she knew about Mikhail, he... Suddenly, she seemed to understand something.

"Sister-in-law, you mean, they forced Mikhail to abdiccate, and then..."

Ji Li shook her head, just hugged Lisa and comforted her. She didn't know what had happened in Russia at all. All the news was mentioned in the telegram from Harbin. As for the rest, she didn't know at all, and she didn't even want to know.

"We don't know what happened there, and we don't know, but don't worry, let me tell you silently, as long as the situation in Russia is stable, at least wait until the temporary political axe restores Russian order, and you can go back. Mikhail is your husband, Nasha's father, and also Yi. Xuan's future father-in-law, the embassy, will be properly placed..."

"Konasha..."

"She will always be my daughter-in-law, no matter what happens!"

In the face of Lisa's uneasiness, Ji Li said in a very affirmative tone. In fact, after learning of Mikhail's succession, she had considered whether the marriage of Nasha and Yixuan should be solved. The future successor of the Russian Empire should not and cannot marry the future successor of China. However, Mihai Er's abdication has solved many problems, but now, now, no matter what happens, the marriage must continue, whether out of inner guilt or out of comfort.

"I..."

"Lisa!"

Holding Lisa's hands tightly, Ji Li said seriously.

"Remember, no matter what happens, this is your home. In the past, now, and in the future, Moran and I will always be your family, and so is Nasha..."

In the dense woods, a man, a woman and two children were playing freely in the woods. At this time, Chen Yixuan completely forgot the "might" he kept all the time, and completely restored the anger that the teenager should have. For him, only at this time, in When he is far away from others, he will really be himself.

He likes to walk in the woods. Since he avoids the eyes of outsiders, he can also avoid everything in the world. At this time, perhaps because he ran too much and played too much, his forehead permeated with fine beads of sweat.

Finally, the two teenagers were tired of playing, so they sat on the grass. Nasha, wearing a Chinese court dress, also forgot everything required by the temperament of a lady, but lay down casually after sitting on the grass. Then as she spoke, she looked at the little blue sky exposed at the canopy. Compared with Chen Yixuan, her attitude was lively and serene. It was her attitude that made Chen Yixuan admire him. In the past, he had no idea how a person could coordinate all this so perfectly.

"...So, I still like Russia"

At this time, her voice gradually lowered, and finally disappeared; with a smile, she looked up at the dark clouds in the eastern sky.

"Well, well, Russia is beautiful, beautiful, yes..."

Listening to his fiancee praising everything in Russia there, Chen Yixuan laughed at him and followed his eyes to the sky for a while. Then he suddenly turned his face and said to her.

"Do you know? If your father hasn't abdication, maybe..."

He once again wipped off the sweat on his forehead, with a somewhat uncertain tone in his tone.

"Maybe you're leaving here!"

Then he stared at her pretty face.

And Nasha also looked back at him, but she was neither anxious nor excited, but her eyes were full of care. Suddenly, she suddenly sat up and sneered, spread out her hands, made a "finished" gesture, and replied in a crystal voice:

"Yes, if you leave here, you will never have to come back. At that time, I will be the Grand Duties of Russia, Grand Duties, the future, well, maybe one day, I will visit here!"

After the words fell, Nasha smiled again, stretched out, and one arm swung in front of Chen Yixuan's face, and some sweet fragrance floated out.

"Well, I will definitely welcome your visit!"

Although she was stubborn and pretending to be indifferent, when she turned her head and saw the gentle and lovely smile on Nasha's face sitting next to her, she smiled. Why was she so beautiful?

So another kind of inexplicable taste permeates his mind again, and he suddenly remembered what he should have said:

"But now it's all over..."

"Don't say any more!"

Nasha rushed to say, interrupting Chen Yixuan's unfinished words. However, her face and tone were still unhappy or nervous without exception.

"I know that the Russian Empire no longer exists. I'm not a princess, let alone a nobleman. I'm just a... Well, a commoner!"

There are some things that she doesn't want to say or talk about. Although her mother never told her what happened in Russia, she still read something in the newspaper, and even found something strange in the eyes of others. In short, what happened there. Love is an extremely bad thing.

"Civilians, what's wrong with civilians? My father went there, and he was also a civilian!"

"What are you talking about!"

Nasha shook her head. He didn't know what he was talking about at all.

"Your father used to be a commoner, but now he is the emperor, and my father, who used to be a nobleman, is now a nobleman driven down by the mob!"

Nasha smiled and said such a long paragraph. Her tone was gentle and round, and she was not affected by it at all. It seemed that she didn't care about everything that happened. In fact, for an 11-year-old girl, what did she need to consider?

There is no need to think about it at all. That's an adult's business.

However, what she has never understood is why the people want to overthrow the Tsar. In her impression, Aunt Nicholas is a very kind person, but why are the people dissatisfied with him? Why overthrow him? Even the Russian Empire will be completely destroyed.

"Yi Xuan, why do you think people want to overthrow a country?"

Turning her face, Nasha asked Chen Yixuan this question in an extremely serious tone for the first time, "This..."

After a moment of silence, Chen Yixuan still chose a "standard answer".

"There is a saying in China that water can carry a boat, but it can also overturn it! Perhaps... Every dynasty can't avoid the possibility of destruction, so the king must always be vigilant and always have the people in mind..."

"Yixuan, if, I mean if..."

Looking at Chen Yixuan, Nasha asked another question.

"If the same thing happened in China, what would your father do? Will he choose to abdication like Uncle Nikolai?

This question is suddenly and even a little bold. In China, this question could not be asked and should not be asked, but for two teenagers, there seems to be nothing to say and nothing to ask.

"He..."

Yes, what will my father do if the same thing happens?

Chen Yixuan didn't know how to answer Nasha's question at all. He never thought about it. He didn't even need to think about it. He was about to enter the Army Officer School. He knew very well that the loyalty of the army to the royal family could not be questioned, and it was impossible for the resistance of the "Russian [***] team" as the teacher said. Life and silence led to the collapse of the Russian Empire.

And this kind of thing is almost unimaginable in China. The emperor of the soldiers, the worship of their father comes from the heart. The army has always been the cornerstone of this country. They can't betray their emperor. As the teachers said, when the students went on a hunger strike, if your majesty ordered the cavalry to shoot, those soldiers would not hesitate to shoot, because Believe in their emperor for the soldiers.

"He won't compromise with violence!"

After thinking about it for a long time, Chen Yixuan gave an answer.

"As an emperor, you can compromise with the people, but you must not compromise with violence!"
