May 3, 259 AD.
Evening.
Roman Palace.
A certain study room.
King Liu Yan of the Ming Dynasty and Emperor Liu Chan of the Han Dynasty, father and son, were talking and laughing happily. After more than a year, the Roman Empire was finally conquered by them.
"Father!"
Liu Yan asked with a smile: "Valerian, how should we deal with it?"
Valerian is the emperor of the Roman Empire and is now under house arrest in the Roman Palace, including some members of the royal family and high-level officials of the Roman Empire.
Now that the war is over, it's time to decide what to do with them.
Kill?
Or should he be expelled from the imperial palace and deposed as a commoner?
Liu Chan did not give an answer, but asked pretending to be confused: "In your opinion, how should these people be dealt with?"
"Kill!" Liu Yan gave the answer directly without thinking.
Hearing his son's answer, Liu Chan felt an inexplicable sense of relief. Although Liu Yan is still very young, only twenty-four years old this year, he is already very mature and very decisive in doing things. The Kingdom of Ming Dynasty entrusted him with
You can rest assured that you have it in your hand.
"Father!" Liu Yan added: "Although the Roman Empire has been conquered, Valerian is still the emperor of the Roman Empire. If he remains, I am afraid that it will endanger the rule of my great Han Dynasty in the future."
Well...Liu Chan agrees with this.
Although he has conquered many countries over the years, such as the countries in the Western Regions, Dawan, Kushan, Sasan, Soochow and Cao Wei.
The only royal family that truly killed them directly was the Sasanian Dynasty.
While the father and son were talking, King Qin Liu Tan came in from outside. He bowed respectfully to Liu Chan: "My son, I pay homage to my father, long live my emperor..."
"Get up!" Liu Chan waved his hand and said before his son finished speaking: "There is no one else here, just us, father and son, so there is no need to be polite."
"Thank you, Father!" As soon as Liu Tan finished thanking him, Liu Yan stood up, saluted Liu Tan with a smile, and then said: "Brother, please sit down quickly!"
Liu Yan liked to play with Liu Tan and Liu Chen since he was a child. Even though he is now the king of the Ming Dynasty, in terms of identity and status, he has far surpassed his elder brother.
However, in front of the eldest brother, he still respected Liu Tan as he did when he was a child, and Liu Tan could feel it.
After Liu Tan sat down, Liu Chan said seriously: "Tan'er, my father will leave Europe to you."
"???"
Liu Tan suddenly froze and seemed a little panicked.
"Father!"
Liu Tan had stood up again, and Liu Chan said with a smile: "This Europe is no better than our Central Plains region. This area is relatively complicated. You must manage it carefully in the future."
"Congratulations to the great emperor!"
Liu Yan bowed his hand to Liu Tan and said with a smile: "We will be neighbors from now on, and I will often come to Rome to annoy the eldest brother."
Liu Tan was a little confused, because Liu Chan didn't discuss it with him from the beginning.
Saying this suddenly... made him not ready yet.
Perhaps seeing Liu Tan's panic, Liu Chan first motioned for his two sons to sit down, then looked at Liu Tan and said, "Do you still remember what my father said to you back in Furousha? You four, We are all our father’s sons, and our father will not treat anyone badly.”
When both of them heard this, they were shocked.
"Rui'er, Yan'er is young and has not experienced the baptism of war before;" Liu Chan looked at Liu Yan again and said: "In this Western expedition, Yan'er performed well, like a king;" After praising Liu Yan, he looked at Liu Tan and said: "You are the eldest brother, so naturally you have to bear more responsibility than your younger brothers."
As soon as Liu Chan finished speaking, Liu Yan couldn't help but admire Liu Tan even more.
In terms of achievements, among the four brothers, the eldest brother made the greatest contribution. He accompanied his father on the expedition to the Western Regions when he was very young, and made great contributions to the establishment of the Tang and Ming Dynasties. He and Liu Rui can be regarded as standing together. Just profit on the shoulders of father and brother.
Liu Chan went on to say: "This world is very big. In the past, we Han people only cared about the three-acre area of the Central Plains. Little did we know that this world is not just the Central Plains." As he said, he looked at his two sons and said: "I want the Han Dynasty. For thousands of generations, the Han Dynasty needs to be strong enough."
Liu Chan is a time traveler. He definitely understands the future of this world and its future development pattern better than his two sons.
Over thousands of years, dynasties have changed, European powers have grown, etc.
"In this world now!" Liu Chan said in a deep voice: "The richest places have all been conquered by my Han Dynasty. In the past, my Han Dynasty and the four great empires of Kushan, Sassanid and Rome stood side by side. Now these four places are all conquered. My surname is Liu."
Hearing this, both sons had proud smiles on their faces.
The mighty Han Dynasty.
Then, Liu Chan looked at Liu Tan again and said: "In comparison, Europe is relatively complicated. This is also the real reason why my father took you with me from the beginning and let you go through the baptism of war. Because this place, This is the fiefdom that my father prepared to give you early in the morning."
Liu Chan didn't lie. He did have this plan early on. He had this plan when the four princes were born and there was the battle for the crown prince.
The Central Plains must be the orthodoxy of the Han Dynasty. The person who can inherit the orthodoxy of the Han Dynasty can only be the eldest son Liu Chen. Only if the Central Plains is handed over to Liu Chen, the other princes will have no objections. Otherwise, it will easily lead to brotherly disharmony.
As for Liu Tan, he is the eldest son of the emperor and the elder brother of the three emperor brothers.
As the saying goes, the eldest brother is the father.
As an older brother, you have to bear certain responsibilities.
Liu Chan's plan is very simple. The four great empires must belong to the Han Dynasty. Only in this way will the Han Dynasty's state be stronger.
In comparison, although the Kushan and Sassanids in Central Asia are also foreign lands, they are not as complex as the European era.
The Roman Empire, the Germans, the Goths, etc. all coexisted.
It was also for this reason that Liu Chan deliberately took Liu Tan with him during his first western expedition. Later, he even asked him to lead the troops when he conquered the Sasanian city-states and Kushan.
Later, Liu Tan took on important responsibilities in destroying Wu and conquering Wei.
If Liu Tan wants to sit firmly in Europe in the future, he will definitely not be able to sit firmly without experiencing the baptism of war.
"Thank you, Father!" Liu Tan quickly stood up to thank him, and then said: "Father, I would rather follow my father and serve him."
Of course he understood what Liu Chan said.
He was actually a little depressed at the time when his two younger brothers were conferred the title of king, but after so many years, he was relieved.
Now my father has fulfilled his promise and given Europe to him.
"No need!" Liu Chan waved his hand and said: "Sooner or later when my son is old, he will spread his wings and fly high. If you are really filial, you can manage your own kingdom well and let the brothers live in harmony. Even if the father is asleep
, you will also wake up with a smile."
This is Liu Chan's true words. Throughout the dynasties, for the sake of imperial power, brothers and sisters have fought against each other.
Liu Chan in his previous life may not have been able to understand this feeling.
But in this life, what he fears most is this.
As an emperor, isn't it true that what he fears most is that his sons will kill each other for imperial power?
Although Liu Chan is a time traveler, he is not a perfect person. He cannot balance a bowl of water. The only thing he can do is how he is now.
Four sons, each has a fief, and each has a kingdom.
The four sons are all monarchs, no one should worry about the other.
As soon as Liu Chan finished speaking, Liu Tan and Liu Yan said in unison: "I will obey my father's will!"
"Remember!" Liu Chan added: "This world is very big. If you want the empire to last forever, you must unite as brothers. As long as you four brothers unite as one, no one in this world can defeat you, and no one dares to fight against you.
Enemy."
After saying that, Liu Chan looked at Liu Yan and said: "You have been the king for several years. This time, you will be in charge of the founding of the country by your great brother."
"Thank you, Father!" Liu Yan said with great joy: "My son, I obey!"
Liu Yan is really very happy. He has made many achievements in the western expedition to Rome. This time, his father has entrusted his elder brother to take charge of the founding of the country.
This is the trust his father placed in him.
It is also his honor.
...
Half a month later.
May 18, 259 AD.
The Battle of Rome has been over for more than 20 days. During these 20 days, after the Han Dynasty entered the city of Rome, Liu Chan ordered that neither the Han army nor the Ming army should harass the people.
The army serves the people.
Only the army recognized by the people at the bottom will be owned.
Only a dynasty that truly cares about the people will be recognized by the people.
Liu Chan's most memorable sentence from his previous life - He who wins the hearts of the people will win the world.
Over the years, the national policies pursued by the Sassanids, Kushans, the Tang Dynasty and the Ming Dynasty have also been based on this standard. It is also for this reason that the Ming Dynasty and the Tang Dynasty have gradually been recognized by the local people, and now they have embarked on a
Formal.
The three kingdoms of Han, Tang, and Ming now all speak Chinese, and people have entered government-run academies to study, and people's lives are getting better and better.
This is a successful example, so when the Han and Ming armies entered the city of Rome, Liu Chan naturally treated them equally.
I dare not say anything else, but at least after more than twenty days, the city of Rome has regained its vitality. The people who were hiding before have returned to their homes, and the shops on the streets have reopened for business.
Early in the morning on May 18th.
The residents of Rome took to the streets. They came to see the excitement, because today is an important day.
As early as a few days ago, the Han army issued an edict.
On May 18, 259 AD, the Han Dynasty will establish a new kingdom in the city of Rome and will also confer a new king.
The people and slaves of Rome were very curious.
Because before the War of Rome, there were many Christians lobbying everywhere, saying that the Han Dynasty was a special dynasty. They treated the people at the bottom well and advocated equality for everyone. Among the two kingdoms established by the Han Dynasty, both kingdoms had been completely abolished.
Slavery.
The abolition of slavery is something that many people in Rome cannot understand, including those slaves.
Because in their view, slaves should exist. For example, a defeated country or tribe should become the slaves of the victor. This is the law of nature. The winner is the king and the loser is the enemy.
But——
After the Han army defeated the Roman Empire, they did not bully the Romans or treat the Romans as slaves. Instead, they treated ordinary people, including those slaves, very friendly.
Today is May 18th.
What kind of country will the Han people build?
How will the Han rule this land?
This is what all Romans want to know.
Although the Han people are a foreign race and invaders.
However, in the face of the powerful weapons and force of the Han army, even if they were unwilling to submit to the rule of the aliens, they seemed to be unable to do anything.
Now——
They can only wait and see how the Han people will behave next.
The first moment of the hour.
Thousands of fully armed Praetorian Guards stood around the Civic Center Square in Rome. A huge red carpet was laid out in the center of the square, from the east side of the square to a three-foot-high platform.
.
There is enough open space on both sides of the red carpet.
When the people came to the periphery.
The guards on guard all said kindly in Roman: "People who want to watch the ceremony, please enter in an orderly manner."
"Can we go in and watch the ceremony?"
A few plainly dressed Romans asked incredulously, and the guard said politely: "Of course, the Emperor of the Han Dynasty has issued an edict that any common people can enter the squares on both sides today to watch the ceremony."
The Romans present were all shocked.
They also come to this municipal square on weekdays, but when it comes to major gatherings, they, the lower class people, are not allowed to approach it, and of course, slaves are even more forbidden.
But today——
The Han Dynasty wants to establish a new country in Rome. This cannot be described as a major gathering. This should be the most important and sacred gathering.

The people were naturally very happy, as they had never seen such a grand occasion as the founding of the People's Republic of China.
"People who want to watch the ceremony, please line up and enter in an orderly manner;" a guard shouted: "Metals, swords and other weapons are prohibited."
Huh——
It turns out to be true.
The guards left a passage, and several guards came at the same time. They wanted to check whether anyone entering the square was carrying metal, swords or other dangerous weapons.
"Everyone, line up!"
"Everyone line up."
As the guards shouted loudly, the people consciously obeyed the instructions and began to line up nearby, waiting to be inspected and then entered the square to watch the ceremony.
As for swords and the like, almost no one carried them because at first, they didn’t know that they could still enter the square to watch the ceremony.
"Why are you here to join in the fun?"
"The Emperor of the Han Dynasty decreed that common people can enter to watch the ceremony. You are not common people. You are all slaves. Slaves are definitely not allowed to enter."
Suddenly, there was some commotion among the people waiting in line.
A guard saw it and hurried over with several guards.
I saw a few ragged young people. They also wanted to queue up to enter the square, but they were pushed out of the queue by people next to them.
Because they are not so-called common people, they are just slaves of the Roman Empire.
What the imperial guard said just now was very direct. His Majesty the Emperor of the Han Dynasty issued an edict that any common people can enter today's ceremony, but he did not mention that slaves were also included.
"General!"
"They are slaves, not common people!"
A middle-aged man, when he saw the guards, pointed at a few slaves and said, in his opinion, the guards would definitely drive away these slaves.
The slaves all lowered their heads slightly at this time, looking depressed.
Slaves are the lowest form of human beings.
"Sorry! General!"
"Let's leave now!"
"Let's leave now!"
Several slaves hurriedly said that they did not dare to offend these soldiers, because in their bones, they were used to being oppressed by others, and it seemed that they were inherently inferior.
However, they had just finished speaking and were about to leave.
The leading guard shouted loudly: "Stop!"
