Back to the Ming Dynasty to be a tyrant

After repeating what he and Holkin said to Patriarch Nikon, Mikhailovich said: "Now, I want to hear your opinion."

The relationship between Nikon and Mikhailovich is somewhat like a symbiotic relationship - Mikhailovich needs to rely on Nikon's influence in religion, especially when Nikon joins a group of great nobles and clergy after the group.

Nikon also needs to rely on Mikhailovich. After all, the current monarch of Tsarist Russia, Mikhailovich has the right to speak in the secular aspects. As for the future, who knows?

Facing the question raised by Mikhailovich, Nikon fell silent.

If you put aside reason and simply look at it from a religious point of view, the demands made by the Poles are undoubtedly the most in line with the needs of himself and Mikhailovich.

Mikhailovich is a devout Orthodox Christian. Once Tsarist Russia marches into Europe in an all-round way, it will be extremely beneficial for the Orthodox Church to preach in Europe in the future.

From Mikhailovich's words, we can know that this war has swept almost the entire Europe, and no country is an exception, and it is the two bastards, the Holy Roman Empire and the Holy See, who launched the war.

I am the next Patriarch of the Orthodox Church, and if I say that I don't hate the so-called Pope of Catholicism, even Nikon himself doesn't believe it.

From a rational point of view, Nikon himself can't say whether it is good or bad to agree to the request of the Poles.

This is not a simple war between nations.

All the countries in Europe, plus Catholicism, if Tsarist Russia participates again, then there is no doubt that this will be a world war, and it will involve secular and religious aspects. I just don’t know What kind of actions will Woer and Ottoman have?

The question is, does the current Tsarist Russia still have the strength to participate in such a world war?

Why did Mikhailovich add a rule that "in order to help the monarch enrich the treasury, no drunk person should be driven out of the wine shop" in addition to the rules of the "tsar's wine shop"?

To put it bluntly, everything is because of the word money. If there is money, does Mikhailovich need to enrich the treasury by selling alcohol?No money, what are you talking about?

After a long silence, Nikon said: "Your Majesty, from my personal point of view, I hope that Tsarist Russia will intervene in this war, because this is an opportunity for Tsarist Russia and the Orthodox Church, and opportunities often It will only appear for a moment, and if you miss it, there will be no more.”

Only Nikon himself knew that even he didn't quite believe what he said - the reason why people are human is that it is impossible for people to remain rational forever.

From Nikon's own point of view, the current Tsarist Russia is definitely not suitable to participate in the war in the whole of Europe. When you're done, go clean up the mess.

Mikhailovich nodded unsurprisingly, and said: "Very well, you have the same opinion as Holkin, and I have to admit that although Holkin is a bit annoying, his vision But it's good."

Nikon said: "Your Majesty, although Holguin has a bad temper, he has a good vision. You shouldn't dislike him just because of his temper."

Mikhailovich nodded, and after discussing religious issues with Nikon for a long time, he sent Nikon away from the Kremlin.

Everything now is a discussion between myself and Nikon and Holkin. As for the final result, it depends on the result of Holkin's trip to Poland.

As for the Nikon guy.

Mikhailovich looked at Nikon's disappearing figure, and took another heavy puff of his pipe—let him live first, the current chaos in Europe is also an opportunity for Tsarist Russia, and it is also an opportunity for Nikon Chance.

If he really dared to bring up issues such as theocracy and monarchy...

Thinking of this, Mikhailovich couldn't help snorting heavily. It seems that these religious people can't change their shit. They always want to let the divine power over the monarchy. The divine right and the monarchy are one.

If the unified power is in his own hands, then Mikhailovich absolutely doesn't mind the merger of the monarchy and theocracy, and it doesn't even matter if the theocracy suppresses the monarchy.

If the final right cannot be in your own hands, what should you do after the monarchy and theocracy are unified?From then on, he became a puppet under the Patriarch, just like he was a puppet under Morozov back then?

Taking a deep puff of the pipe again, Mikhailovich ordered: "Let the regiment commander Klyuchevsky come and see me."

After telling Klyuchevsky about the views of Holguin and Nikon again, Mikhailovich ordered: "Send someone to keep an eye on Nikon, his thinking is becoming more and more dangerous now, if necessary , Immediately let people start the cleaning plan.

Also, send someone to prepare. If Holguin's trip goes well, then we will intervene in the European war situation and strive for the greatest benefits for Tsarist Russia. "

But God is doomed not to want to see any good end for Holguin. In other words, the Dudufu of the Five Armies and Jin Yiwei don't like the existence of Holguin, because the existence of this person is a great threat to the European war situation. variable.

Holkin had just left Moscow with his retinue knights when he was stopped in a birch forest.

There were only twelve people who stopped Holguin. Compared with the hundred and ten people brought by Holguin, the number seemed pitifully small.

But no one dared to underestimate the twelve people in front of them——they were so weirdly dressed that they blended in well with the environment. If these twelve people hadn't taken the initiative to stand up, I'm afraid Holkin and his party wouldn't have noticed this at all. Twelve people.

Twelve people without horses surrounded a cavalry team of more than 100 people. No matter how funny it looked, the scene that made people laugh just happened in front of Holguin's eyes.

"Tatar!" Holkin shrank his eyes and couldn't help crying out.

The twelve people in front of them had typical Tatar appearances, which were completely different from those of Tsarist Russia. My family's ancestors had Tatar blood, so I couldn't admit that I was wrong.

However, none of these twelve people paid any attention to Holkin. They took out some round bumps from their arms, pulled off their bracelets, and threw them into Holkin's team.

The weather in Moscow is very cold, and it is even colder in Moscow, which has already had a lot of snow. However, cooling does not mean humidity. The grenades thrown by these twelve people are completely effective.

The effect of a large number of grenades exploding in the crowd is obvious, at least most of the horses that Holguin and his party rode were frightened.

What's more obvious is that among the twelve people, several unlucky ones were injured by the grenade fragments thrown by him, and the most seriously injured one died directly without even having a chance to confess his last words.

Holkin's side was not all trash, except for some followers who fled in all directions, there were 30 to [-] people who firmly protected Holkin.

Now the situation has become very fair. The warhorses on Holguin's side have long been frightened and fled in all directions. The group changed from cavalry to infantry, and among the twelve people, except for one who died and two who were on the journey, There were nine people surrounding 30 people, and the whole situation looked extremely funny.

Holkin couldn't laugh, and even felt a little shuddering.

Dare to intercept and kill himself on the outskirts of Moscow in broad daylight, these twelve people are undoubtedly the legendary dead men, and who in Moscow has such great energy to find twelve Tatar dead men?

After forcing himself to calm down, Holkin wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and asked, "Who sent you here?"

The nine killers seemed to have a tacit understanding. No one paid any attention to the question Holkin raised. Instead, they took out a strange-looking machete from the box on the back and rushed towards Holkin together.

The final result was a bit tragic. Apart from corpses, blood, blood-stained white snow, and the silent birch forest on this small battlefield, only Holkin and a killer were left standing. The rest are all dead.

Holkin, who had been limp on the ground for a long time, no longer had any hope in his heart. After forcing out a smile that was uglier than crying, he said: "Now there are only you and me left, you can tell me now , who sent you to kill me?"

Without waiting for the killer on the other side to answer, Holkin said on his own: "Tatars, such ruthless characters who are not afraid of life and death, those landlords and gentry, don't have the strength to train you. Tsar? The Tsar still needs to send me out Make Poland, it should not be him.

Morozov?If it was him, he would not have been exiled.Who is it?To be able to make such a large capital, just for my life? "

While Holkin was talking to himself, the killer on the opposite side came to Holkin with a long knife, and said coldly: "Go ask King Yama!"

Until the moment when Holkin's head flew into the sky, Holkin didn't want to understand why these Tatars wanted to kill him.

for money?He is a poor ghost at all, unlike Morozov's greedy vampire, who has a lot of wealth in his hands.

It was too late for Holkin to think about it. In the darkness, all his thoughts were at a standstill. What else could he think about?

Wiping the blood from the knife on the headless corpse, the only remaining killer turned around and went into the woods to find a small cage containing a few cooing pigeons.

"Mission accomplished, it is confirmed that Afanasilavlendievich Olkin-Nashokin is dead, and no one on our side survived."

The same secret letter was written several times in a row, and after being led in different directions by several carrier pigeons, the only remaining killer put the horizontal knife on his neck, and then wiped it hard, taking away the last person who knew the secret letter. parties to the truth of the matter.

The news that Holguin was intercepted and killed was quickly spread back to Moscow. When the reinforcements sent by Mikhailovich arrived at the birch forest, apart from the dead bodies all over the ground and the fact that the killer was a Tatar, Didn't get any useful information.

Unlike Holguin who misled his own thinking at the beginning, Mikhailovich, who was able to kill his brother-in-law Morozov, immediately became aware of the fact that the killer was a Tatar. Think of the Ming Empire.
