The Qing Dynasty is about to end

Chapter 90 Tupolev Foreign Lama (First Update)
"It really exists. It's really weird!"

Yi Xin has already studied the box of mooncakes from Lian Heung Tower - Lian Heung Tower can be considered a "well-known brand". Although it was not opened for another 37 years, everyone from Hong Xiuquan to Prince Gong Yi Xin already knew of the brand. Next, he would have to enter the palace to open the eyes of Emperor Xianfeng!
As for whether it will break out of Asia and go global in the future, it is unclear. After all, this box of mooncakes may come from God or the devil! Maybe the Orthodox Patriarch, the Pope of Rome, the Caliph of Istanbul, and Victoria, the eldest sister of the Church of England, all want to open their eyes?
Anyway, after Yi Xin's research, this box of mooncakes definitely could not have come from the mortal world.

With the current technology in the mortal world, let alone the mooncakes in the box, even the box for the mooncakes and the pocket for the mooncake box cannot be made.

The pocket seemed to be made of paper, but Yi Xin was sure that there was no such good paper in the palace!

As for the picture of Chang'e flying to the moon on the pocket, I don’t know whether it was printed or painted on, but it doesn’t fade at all, and it feels very smooth to the touch, with no traces of ink at all - where in the world can you find such a good thing?
The box was even more amazing. It seemed to be made of iron, or a lacquer box, and the bottom seemed to be inlaid with copper. In addition, the lid of the iron box was sealed with an unknown film! I didn't know how to open it. Should I chant a spell?

Also, if this box is really opened, are there really mooncakes inside?

Could this be a trick of the devil?

Will some monster jump out of the mooncake box and kill me as soon as I open it?
Thinking of this, Prince Gong carefully placed the mooncake box aside and asked, "Yuan Bao, where is Hong Daquan now?"

"Here we are," Yuan Bao said. "He has been sent to the prison of the Ministry of Justice. Your Majesty, would you like to try him in person?"

In-person review? Is it safe?
When Yuan Bao saw that Prince Gong was silent, he knew that the prince was being cautious, so he said respectfully: "Prince, I have repeatedly tested Hong Daquan along the way, and he really does not know magic, and he is not the brother of the traitor Hong Xiuquan in heaven, but a mortal man."

Prince Gong thought about it and felt that it was true. Hong Xiuquan’s elder brother in heaven could definitely not be caught, so Hong Daquan was just a mortal without any magical power and there was no need to be afraid of him.

So Prince Gong ordered loudly: "It's too late today, send it tomorrow.

Remember to build a sturdy cross first, and tie Hong Daquan tightly to the cross. Make sure it is tied tightly before sending it to me!

Also, send someone to the Saint Nicholas Lama Temple to invite Tu Lama who just arrived from the Rakshasa Kingdom, and ask him to come to the palace early tomorrow morning!"

"twitter!"

The St. Nicholas Lama Temple in Beijing is located east of Dongzhimen North Street. It is a very impressive temple. It was originally a Guandi Temple and was rebuilt into the St. Nicholas Lama Temple during the reign of Emperor Kangxi. In the future, the St. Nicholas Lama Temple will be rebuilt into a very magnificent cathedral, but the current shape of the Guandi Temple remains!

The chief monk of this Orthodox Lama Temple is a bearded, elderly "old bear" named Tupolev, from Tver Province in Russia. His family has been Orthodox for generations. In Russia today, this is considered a learned intellectual.

Before coming to Beijing, Tupolev had served as a chaplain in the Russian Army. When he was young, he participated in the Eighth Russo-Turkish War. After retiring from the army, he was sent to Siberia. After ten years, because the Qing Dynasty in the East was opened by the British with powerful ships and cannons, the opportunities in the East attracted the attention of Nicholas I.

Tupolev, who had learned to speak fluent Mongolian in Siberia, took advantage of this opportunity and was sent to the Irkutsk diocese to learn Chinese for two years. He was then recalled to St. Petersburg, appointed a high priest, and sent to Beijing to preside over the St. Nicholas Lama Temple.

When he left St. Petersburg, he was personally received by Tsar Nicholas I at the Winter Palace. His Majesty the Tsar also personally gave him an important task - Nicholas I hoped that his Russian Empire could sign a treaty with the Qing Dynasty like Britain, France and the United States to obtain consular jurisdiction, Orthodox missionary rights and one or two trading ports.

However, when Tupolev came to Beijing from afar with the Tsar's mission, before he had time to discuss the unequal treaties with the Emperor of Qing, he learned a ridiculous news from a seemingly silly Qing prince - the second son, third son, fourth son, fifth son, sixth daughter, seventh son and son-in-law of "God's family" might have been reincarnated into Qing and rebelled in Guangxi Province of Qing!
Moreover, in order to help his children rebel, "God" sent down a demon on a bicycle from the sky!

The prince also gave Tupolev a picture of a monster with three pairs of wings and a bull's head riding a bicycle. It was said that it was sent by "God" to help his children fight!

Of course, the prince did not think that "God" was the real God, but suspected that the so-called God might be a Western devil, most likely Satan. He also asked whether the "Great Lama" of the Rakshasa Kingdom could fight against Satan?
When Tupolev left the prince's magnificent residence, he didn't know how to report to the Tsar.

Moreover, he did not think that the young Qing prince who had approached him was a serious prince who had the final say - who would believe that "God" or "Satan" would send a demon on a bicycle to help his son rebel?

It seems that he still needs to find a truly reliable minister of the Qing Dynasty!
But who should I look for?
When Tupolev thought of the arrogant attitude of the Qing ministers in Beijing towards him, the Tsar and the servant of God, he didn't know who to talk to about the unequal treaties.

Just when he was in a dilemma, Bai Siwen's voice suddenly came from outside the house: "Tulama, there really is a demon in Tulama! There really is a demon! I saw it with my own eyes!"

What? Are there really demons? Are demons coming to Beijing? How is this possible? How could God allow such a thing to happen?

Tupolev was stunned. Before he could react, Bai Siwen rushed in. Seeing that Tu Lama was holding a Russian version of the "black magic book" called "Dead Souls" in a daze, he rushed over, bowed, and then said to Tupolev in fluent but grammatically incorrect Rakshasa language: "Tu Lama, the prince asks you to come to the mansion to see the physical and human evidence related to the demons. Please come with me!"

"What? Physical and human evidence related to demons?" Tupolev was stunned.

"The physical evidence related to the demon is a box of snacks from thirty-seven years later!"

"Thirty-seven years later?"

"Yes! It will be thirty-seven years later!" Bai Siwen said, "There is another witness, who may be the eldest son of God!"

"God's eldest son?" Tupolev almost dropped his jaw.

God's eldest son seems to be the savior Jesus, Christ himself!
Jesus has come to the Qing Dynasty? Is this the end of the world?
"Impossible, absolutely impossible!" Tupolev shook his head like a rattle.

Seeing Tu Lama's panicked look, Bai Siwen didn't waste words with him. He stepped forward and pulled up his left hand: "Tu Lama, don't say it's impossible. It's impossible. You will know when you go and see it! Take a look and see. Can you still go to hell?"

Bai Siwen said this casually, but Tupolev shuddered - it's the Last Judgment, shouldn't he go to hell? As a loyal servant of the Tsar, he has done many things that are against the will of heaven and earth! I wonder if it's too late to repent now?
Bai Siwen didn't care what the "old lama" was thinking about. He just dragged him out of the St. Nicholas Lama Temple, got on his carriage, and went to Prince Gong's Palace.
