Chapter 1413: The Bookbox Contains History
Khazar opened the lid of the box, and it was full of books.
This surprised Qin Jin greatly, and he didn't expect that the Prince of Great Food, who was known for his greed, gave him a box of books.
"The villain heard that after the prime minister came to Persia, he collected a large number of ancient books from Persia, which the villain collected, I don't know if it is the ...... that the prime minister needs."
The Qin and Jin dynasties did collect a large number of ancient Persian books, all of which were priceless treasures, and most of them would have been destroyed in the flames of war if they were not protected.
Before leaving for the east, he felt that it was necessary to collect as much as he could, and bring it back to Chang'an in the future to be studied by those in need.
When he came to the wooden box, Qin Jin picked up a book casually and flipped through it casually, but saw that it was densely packed with Persian characters.
The Persian script is different from the Agashi script, which is written in letters, and it is a cuneiform script, which is now less and less readable by people.
"Can Your Highness read the words on this?"
Qin Jin picked up the book in his hand and looked up at Kazar.
"Yes, I can understand some, when the villain was a child, there was a Persian teacher in the tribe who taught the villain!"
"Oh?"
This guy who looks like he has a full stomach of straw bales actually knows some cuneiform in ancient Persia.
Seeing that he looked disbelieving, he took out a book from the box and tried to interpret it for Qin Jin.
It chronicles the life of Cyrus the Great, a prodigious ancient Persian emperor who built a vast empire that propelled Persia to its prominence, but he himself flourished and declined.
Unwilling to succumb to Cyrus' conquests, the queen of the tribe rose up and led her people against the Persian invasion, vowing to make the bloodthirsty monarch drink his blood.
No one could have imagined that Cyrus the Great, famous for his conquests, would be defeated at the hands of the tiny Masagatae, and his army would be defeated, and he himself would die in the chaos.
Queen Massagtai found his body, cut off the head of the once-invincible monarch, and soaked it in a blood-filled skin to fulfill his vow to "drink blood".
Khazar shook his head in regret.
"The noble emperor died at the hands of the barbarians of the East, but fortunately his son Cambyses defeated the Masagatae, recaptured his body, and buried him in Pasargad. ”
Pasargad is in Fars, not far from here.
"So, Cyrus's mausoleum is here?"
"The Prime Minister is right, Cyrus is buried in Pasargad, and if the Prime Minister intends to go and see, the villain is willing to be the Prime Minister's guide. ”
Qin Jin waved his hand and said:
"No, there's just a few lifeless stones left, nothing to see, we all have more important things to do, it's time for you to return to Elam, which will be your capital!"
"The villain understands, and when the villain goes back, he will follow the instructions of the prime minister and send a message to the empire, so that Mansur will become an ant on a hot pot!"
The ants on the hot pot were learned by Qajar from their conversation between Qin and Jin, and this thing seems to have a good talent for language, and he has learned a lot of Chinese in just a few days.
However, Qajar did not use it properly.
"Alright, don't play around with your half-baked Chinese, from now on, you will do everything possible to humiliate Mansour!"
"The villain understands!"
This was what Qajar was most willing to do, humiliating Mansur and giving him an embarrassing taste that he had never tasted in his life.
For more than ten years, Mansur has spared no effort to suppress his brothers for the sake of his own power, and even kills him if he disobeys.
Khazar was a clever man who voluntarily gave up his military power, and even voluntarily left his territory and lived in the city of Ctesiphon, right next to Mansour, to the heart of the cruel and suspicious Hari.
It is precisely because of this that the fate of Qajar is different from that of many persecuted brothers, and he has lived smoothly until now.
But after all, he failed to hide his true self in his heart, and took advantage of Mansur's anxiety to launch a mutiny with his cronies, which naturally resulted in a crushing defeat.
Ctesiphon's defeat was nothing, but the Praetorian Guard instigated Muhammad to betray him and kill all his family members who had remained in Elam.
At the thought of this, Khazar trembled with hatred.
If it weren't for Mansour's resolute decision, how could he have defected to the Tang people?
Qin Jin added:
"Humiliating Mansour must also be mastered, otherwise it will be irritating his blood, and if he really rushes straight to Ilam, it will not be good news for you and me!"
Of course, the chances of this happening are very low, and with Mansour's situation at this moment, the best option is to respond to all changes, remove the threats from all sides one by one, and then wait for the opportunity to defeat each one.
Whether it was the Romans, the Khazars, or the Persians from the East, who didn't wait for Mansur to make a mistake?
If Mansur came to attack Elam with all his might, the Shenwu army would inevitably have to go all out to keep Qajar, and if that was the case, Qin Jin would not be able to return to Chang'an at this time.
However, the situation in Chang'an is also surging undercurrent, it has been almost three months since Emperor Li Heng died, and if he doesn't rush back in time, God knows what other ghosts will pop out of the ground.
In addition, the first goal of attacking the West has been basically achieved, and the operation of the Western Regions is not something that can be achieved overnight, and Qin Jin cannot stay here for a long time, and he has to devote more energy to the Tang Dynasty in Chang'an.
Because only Chang'an is the heart of the Tang Empire.
"Prime minister, don't worry, Mansur is not a person who will be carried away by anger, for all the humiliation now, he will only grit his teeth and endure it, and when the time is ripe in the future, he will return that humiliation a thousand times and a hundred times over!"
Just by saying that, Khazar felt a cool breeze rise behind him.
So far, al-Mansur intended to punish whomever he had not missed, including the Emperor of the Roman Empire, who had sent envoys to humiliate him, and finally died of injuries wounded by blows.
Qajar was afraid of Mansur to the core, and in fact, there were few people in the empire who did not fear the caliph to the bone marrow.
This had become a subconscious thought, but he immediately realized that at this time, in the Tang camp, the Tang Dynasty's army had repeatedly made Mansur taste the taste of disgrace.
"The villain must be fully prepared, even if Mansour is angry, let him go and never return!"
Although Khazar straightened his waist, he had no confidence in what he said, and his heart was full of emptiness that could not be concealed.
Qin Jin smiled, only shook his head and said nothing!
