Liu Che looked at a memorial handed over by Da Honglu and scratched his head.
"Da Qin..." After a while, Liu Che remembered that he seemed to have picked up an envoy from Rome.
However, he had only paid attention to this Roman envoy for a while.
After that, they left him to the Confucians and left him to fend for himself.
After all, the Roman Republic or the Roman Empire, no matter how powerful and domineering Mussolini or Hitler may have been, was still a country separated from China by tens of thousands of miles, and before the advent of steam trains, it was probably impossible for them to interact with each other.
At this moment, the significance of Rome to the Han Dynasty was just a sloping market for silk and spices.
And more importantly, the amount of silk and spices produced in the Han Dynasty that could actually flow to Rome was probably pitifully small, and most of the profits were taken by the Huns and Persians.
Hanshi is just a wage earner, earning a few hard-earned money.
Therefore, Liu Che felt fresh for a while, and then he forgot about this matter and this person.
But now, the envoy from Rome suddenly found Da Honglu and handed over a memorial requesting him to go to Hajj. He claimed that the news and intelligence about the poisonous body should be reported to Liu Che face to face.
"India..." Liu Che knocked on the countertop.
"It is indeed possible that this person knows something about the situation in India at this time, as well as the division of countries, tribes and forces in Central and West Asia..." Liu Che thought in his heart.
After all, hundreds of years ago, Alexander the Great conquered the vast Central and Western Asia during his Eastern Expedition, and established a huge empire spanning Europe and Asia.
Although the gay guy died quickly and the empire he built disintegrated.
But if Liu Che remembers correctly, after the disintegration of Alexander's empire, it still had a profound impact on the areas he conquered for a long time.
Now there are many Hellenistic kingdoms and city-states in Central Asia, West Asia and even parts of India.
A Roman envoy came across the sea from Europe. He really should know the reality of these kingdoms and city-states. Although his information may be out of date, some city-states and kingdoms may have perished now.
But at the very least, this is first-hand information.
"It's just that he didn't say it before, but now he suddenly said it..." Liu Che was suspicious in his heart.
Liu Che knows the people of Europe very well.
Even two thousand years later, when these scumbags put on ties and suits and speak the spirit of a contract, they are still famous for cheating people without paying for their lives.
His integrity is almost comparable to that of Maozi.
As for the integrity of the current Roman Republic or the credibility of the Roman aristocracy...
Carthaginian, Persian and Greek corpses are proof...
"If you show your courtesy for nothing, you are either a traitor or a thief!" Liu Che knocked on the memorial and sneered twice.
However, it doesn't hurt to meet him.
It doesn't matter even if this person is just trying to deceive.
Because when a person lies, he will always tell some truth involuntarily.
Just like when you play Werewolf, even the strongest werewolf player will always show his wolf tail when he jumps.
Now, what Liu Che lacks most is intelligence and information from distant foreign lands.
Liu Che doesn't even know at all now how far the Yuezhi people's power has expanded, and how long will it take before they evolve into the Kushan dynasty that dominates Central Asia?
That's right, after the Xiongnu were eliminated, the Yuezhi people or the Kushan Dynasty established by the Yuezhi people became the biggest enemy of the Han Dynasty.
"Let Da Honglu bring people to see me..." Liu Che said to Wang Dao beside him.
Half an hour later, Curitios, now a Roman envoy named Zhao Qin in Han Dynasty, was brought to Liu Che wearing a Confucian robe.
"Foreign Minister Zhao Qin. Pays homage to His Majesty the Emperor..." Curitios trembled and lay down in the palace. Following the etiquette of the Han Dynasty that he had learned, he kowtowed.
At this moment, Curitios naturally knew what a powerful king the emperor of China, or the Han Dynasty, was.
His authority covered almost the entire East.
And his holiness is like a god and cannot be desecrated.
He is like the Aspirin gods in Roman mythology, possessing all kinds of incredible abilities.
Rome at this time was deeply influenced by Greek culture.
The level of feudal superstition is even more serious than in China.
Facing such a descended god-king, the god of all gods, Curitios felt that his calves were cramping.
While he was fearful, he also felt some pride and pride deep in his heart. He even thought: I am so honored to be able to be received by this great God Emperor several times and listen to the holy teachings...
"How are you getting used to the envoy in our country?" Liu Che asked gently to the envoy from Rome with a slight smile.
"Replying to Your Majesty, everything is well with the foreign minister. Thank you for your warm hospitality. One day, when the foreign minister returns to the country, he will definitely tell the whole country, especially the Senate, about your Majesty's friendship and kindness..." Curitios replied humbly.
road.
"That's good!" Liu Che nodded, and then asked: "I heard that the envoy has news and intelligence about his own poison. Do you want to report it to me?"
"Yes, your majesty..." Curitios lay on the ground and replied with the words he had thought of in advance: "I am grateful to your majesty and your country for taking care of me. The foreign minister has nothing to repay, and the foreign minister heard that your majesty has taken care of you."
Shendu, which is what our country calls India, is very interested. Therefore, the foreign minister wants to use the news and intelligence of Shendu as a reward for the preferential treatment given to His Majesty and your country..."
"Well..." Liu Che smiled and nodded, then stood up, looked at this guy, and asked coldly: "Then how did I hear that there is a kingdom in that poisonous country, and it has a very close relationship with the envoy's Great Qin?
Deep origin? Can it be said that they come from the same source?"
In a broad sense, the so-called Greek-Athenian city-states, as well as Carthage, Rome, and Macedonia, should be regarded as a cultural community at this time.
Their religions, cultures, and even races are highly similar.
This is also the reason why the Romans were able to rule the European continent and unified it for a time.
However, the Romans obviously did not have the tradition of unification and high cultural cohesion and cohesion like China.
In other words, Rome once had such cultural cohesion and cohesion.
But the growth and power of the Gay Friends religion ruined all of this.
Therefore, the European continent in later generations can only be described as a piece of loose sand. Even if it was reluctantly held together by interests and slogans, Oumeng was established. But, in fact, Oumeng may not be as good as its predecessor, the loose European Community!
But Liu Che was too lazy to think about this issue.
Whether the European barbarians live or die has nothing to do with China, the Han people, or the Xia peoples.
The only thing Liu Che wants to know now is what is the current situation in India? To what extent has the power of the Yuezhi people in Central Asia expanded?
Curitios was shocked when he heard this.
The panic in my heart can no longer be described in words.
There is indeed a very deep connection and origin between the Greek kingdom of Bactria and his motherland, Rome.
However, in this distant eastern world, there are very few outsiders who know and understand this.
"This divine king of the Han Dynasty really has the same power as a god..." thinking to himself. Curitios bowed respectfully, and then said: "Reporting to your great majesty, this is indeed the case...
"
"But..." Curitios raised his head and said in a tone of admiration: "Your Majesty does not know that the poisonous Kingdom of Bactria was established by the Greco-Macedonians, and although our country,
Culturally and religiously, they are very similar to the two. But ultimately, both the Greeks and the Macedonians are potential enemies of our country..."
Where did Rome's hegemony come from?
Wasn't it just stolen from the Greek-Macedonians?
Be it the Mediterranean or Asia Minor, the previous overlords of these places were all Greco-Macedonians.
Rome wrested it from both of them through war.
"Greece-Macedonia?" Liu Che looked at Curitios and said abruptly: "I have heard about it. I heard that these two countries once had the likes of Aristotle, Plato and Archimedes.
The thoughts and books written by such a great sage can be regarded as a doctor even in China..."
"But it's a pity, it seems that these great sages have passed away..." Liu Che smacked his mouth and shook his head, looking very regretful.
But Curitios was scared to death!
Aristotle, Plato and Archimedes, the names of these Greek giants of thought, have never spread to the East.
Even in the current Kingdom of Bactria, there are only a handful of people who know and understand the thoughts and achievements of these few people.
In other words, these names should not have spread across tens of thousands of miles to this distant eastern world.
Where did the emperor of China learn about this?
There can only be one explanation!
When this god-king heard the name of Greece-Macedonia, these messages immediately emerged from the bottom of his heart.
What a terrifying and great living God this is.
Compared with the demigods such as Achilles described in Homer's epic, there is undoubtedly a gap between heaven and earth.
But why does this god-king only mention Aristotle and others, but ignores the Roman Republic at all?
Could it be...
"Only a great sage like Aristotle is qualified to be known to him..." Curitios thought bitterly in his heart.
But we have to admit that the Roman Republic was left in the ditch by the Greek thinkers and artists led by Aristotle, Plato and others in terms of culture and art.
Because of this, Rome accepted Greek culture, thought, religion and art without reservation.
Liu Che pondered for a moment, then continued: "I seem to have heard that the great sage named Archimedes was killed by soldiers from your country?"
He shook his head and said to Curitios: "How can your country be like this? There are wise men in the wild, how can we use swords and weapons to fight against each other? We should respectfully use etiquette to invite such great wise men to the temple.
Discuss and discuss national policies and let their wisdom benefit the people..."
Curitios, on the other hand, was already in a state of turmoil.
Death of Archimedes...
Well, this is something the Romans themselves regretted.
When Curitios was in Rome, he often scolded the generals and soldiers who invaded Syracuse.
The entire Greek cultural circle often laughed at the Romans for their vulgarity and disrespect for scholars.
Now, this scandal has even been known to the God-King of the Eastern Kingdom...
As far as Curitios knew, the emperor of this eastern empire had greater power and authority than the emperor of the continental empire.
However, this country has a tradition of giving preferential treatment to literati, scholars, intellectuals and artists since ancient times.
A great sage like Archimedes will definitely be respected and loved by the whole country in this country.
As for a figure like Socrates, if he were born in this country, I am afraid that he would not be punished at all.
From the emperor to the common people, they all respectfully worshiped his thoughts and artistic achievements.
If the story of these two people is known to the people of this Eastern Empire, then...
Curitios seems to have seen the future of Roman-Greek names on the streets of China.
He knew very well that in this Eastern empire, thinkers, cultural figures, and artists enjoyed a special and lofty social status and were respected from all over the country.
Anyone who harms or insults such a figure, even a noble or an emperor, will be despised, let alone killed!
"Compared with such a mature empire, Rome still has a long way to go..." Curitios thought in his heart, and then he raised his head and looked at the man sitting at the top.
As the son of heaven and the undoubted god-king of the Han Dynasty, he thought in his heart: "Perhaps Rome should learn from this ancient empire and its political system and structural system..."
During his nearly one year in China, he heard and witnessed the strong mobilization and national strength of this eastern country.
Such a huge empire is closely united under the leadership of the Son of Heaven. The supreme Son of Heaven, with its supreme authority, rules and manages this empire that is even larger than Rome.
Govern the country with kindness, truth and compassion instead of force, trickery and conspiracy.
Curitios once visited the civilian areas of the capital of the Han Dynasty. After comparison, he had to admit that even the poor living in this city were better than Rome in terms of mental outlook, physical fitness and personal cultivation.
Many of the civilians had cultural accomplishments and personal qualities comparable to those of Roman citizens and even nobles.
Therefore, it is natural and natural for such an empire to rule over and lead the world where it lives.
The master of such an empire is praised and protected by the gods, which is unquestionable and logical. (To be continued.)
