Chapter 579: The name of the scumbag, from east to west, everyone knows it
Zhao Huan saw Anna's long black hair under the monk's hat, and it was really disguised.
Whether it is the Holy Roman Empire or the Byzantine Empire, in fact, they have always claimed to be the true power of the Roman Empire. At this point, there is no doubt about it.
And Zhao Huan, by chance, happened to know that the Romans were not blonde and blue-eyed, but black-haired and black-eyed.
In the Roman Empire, the physical characteristics of the blonde and blue-eyed were equivalent to those of the barbarians of the Great Song Dynasty.
"It's a long way to go, and I have to disguise myself as a group of nuns. I also ask your Majesty's forgiveness. Anna saw that the emperor of the Great Song Dynasty already knew her true identity, so she put on black hair.
This black hair has a bit of a Song appearance.
Zhao Huan nodded and said, "Then Princess Anna, why did you come to the Great Song Dynasty with such a valuable gift tens of thousands of miles away?" ”
Anna looked at the emperor of the Great Song Dynasty with some amazement, and her expression was full of memories.
Anna sighed and said, "My father was a great monarch who led the revival of the Roman Empire. ”
"He resisted the Seljuk Turks from the east, disrupted the Norman pressure from the Western Front, and organized the Crusades to conquer the Holy City, and if he could recover the island of Asia Minor, my father would be the new Holy Emperor, not king."
"Much like the emperor of the Great Song Dynasty, my father was a general before, and then ascended the throne as emperor."
Zhao Huan nodded, the heart disease of the Great Song Emperor was the sixteen states of Yanyun, and the heart disease of the Holy Roman Empire was the island of Asia Minor.
This is said that his father and Zhao Kuangyin's experience are very similar, both of them are the transformation from a general to an emperor.
Zhao Huan looked at Anna with a smile, waiting for her to say her purpose.
Anna continued: "My father had mishandled the Crusades in order to order the knights of the Seventeen Duchies of England, France, Hungary, and Rus' to be loyal to him. ”
"But after these knights conquered the Holy City, they did not obey their father's orders, but established their own principality."
"The significance of recovering the Holy City is only to get back the remains of the Holy Lord, but there is no substantial territory and benefit gain."
"I believe that Your Majesty can understand my father's feelings."
Zhao Huan nodded and motioned for Anna to continue, which was the same as after he recovered the sixteen states of Yanyun, the major generals established themselves as kings.
But the ministers who fought on the side of the Great Song Dynasty were first the masters, and then Yue Fei.
So far, there are no courtiers, so it is not easy to say that these two people are in rebellion, otherwise Zhao Huan can screw off the head of this courtier and kick it as a ball.
This involves the difference between Eastern and Western cultures, and he is too lazy to tear up this kind of thing with Anna, each with its own benefits.
"Father decided to formalize his decision to make a complete break with the Western Church. But the Eastern Church of the Holy Roman Empire was not strong enough. ”
"Originally, I was my father's designated heir to the throne. But I had a different idea of the crusade nobility and the church, and he appointed my younger brother as the heir. Finally John ascended the throne and I was exiled. ”
"Humbert himself is the archbishop of the Western Church, and in the negotiations with my father, the negotiations failed, and the Ecumenical Patriarch excommunicated all the Eastern Churches, and my idea was to negotiate with the Western Church, and my father did not agree to do so."
"So, I came all the way to the Dragon Court, and it was Bishop Humbert who wrote me a letter about the great changes in the Eastern Continent, and at that time I decided to take these books of wisdom and come to the Great Song Empire to try my luck."
Zhao Huan finally understood the cause and effect of this matter, the Jin State used troops against the Great Song Dynasty, it was not a trivial matter, whoever won was the king of this region of the Eastern Continent.
Historically, it was the Jin people who won, but now it is the Great Song Dynasty that has won.
Zhao Huan looked at Anna and asked puzzledly: "The journey has been hard, but the Great Song Dynasty is too far away from the Holy Roman Empire, tens of thousands of miles away from your Byzantium." How can I help you? Try your luck here with me? ”
Anna said solemnly: "The Persian Governorate of the former Tang Dynasty extended the tentacles of the Central Plains Dynasty to the Mediterranean Sea and the vicinity of the Holy City. ”
"The Protectorate of Persia?" Zhao Huan muttered to himself with some confusion.
[Reminder of historical events: Persian Protectorate, during the period of Tang Gaozong, established the Governor's Mansion in the city of Jiling in Persia, appointed the Persian prince Belus as the governor, and awarded Belus as the general of the right Weiwei, which was subordinate to the Anxi Metropolitan Protectorate. 】
[And in the ninth year of Tianbao (751 AD), Gao Xianzhi, the envoy of Anxi Jiedu, led an army of 100,000 to attack Shiguo (in present-day Uzbekistan), defeated Shiguo, and captured the king and prince of Shiguo. 】
Zhao Huan looked at the introduction of the system, and couldn't wait to slap himself in the mouth!
What is the goal he set, Yuanmai Shengtang.
But the more you look at this goal, the more difficult it is to accomplish it.
"Your Majesty?" Anna looked at the emperor in a daze suspiciously, what is wrong?
Zhao Huan asked suspiciously, "Eh, what do you think?" Will I help you remove your brother from the throne of the Holy Roman Empire? I don't have the power to influence the Holy Roman Empire. ”
Anna glanced at this Great Song Emperor, and this emperor's desire for territory was written on his face!
"Only the Great Holy Lord can see what will happen in the future, and I have accepted the guidance of the Holy Lord to come to the Great Song Dynasty." Anna said meaningfully.
But then she continued: "My Honorable Majesty, my brother John is a male lord, and has the same mercy as His Majesty, and is a good man. ”
"His strategy is the same as mine, and when I leave, he is soothing the wounds of fifty years of continuous warfare and the Empire, and when I leave, he has already made a covenant with the Western Church."
"I just want to be able to contribute to the Holy Roman Empire."
Zhao Huan realized that he had misunderstood Anna's intention, he thought that Anna was going to help her reset, but now it seems that it is not.
"I sincerely beseech Your Majesty to send an emissary to the Holy Roman Empire to reopen the Silk Road and bring more prosperity and knowledge to the Roman Empire. Use the advance of the Great Song Dynasty to sweep away the ignorance of the Roman Empire, and replace the backwardness of the Roman Empire with the prosperity of the Great Song Dynasty. Anna said sincerely.
Restarting the Silk Road?
When Anna said this purpose, Zhao Huan was thrilled!
Anna continued in an aria: "From Chang'an in China, across the Hexi Corridor and the Western Regions, through the desert to Byzantium, through the Duchy of Rus, to the Kingdom of France, to travel and trade in Europa, and finally to the water city of Venice, and by boat to Athens and the Celestial Realm. ”
"This route is recorded in the documents of the Roman Empire, as well as in the classics of the Central Plains Dynasty."
"This Silk Road once created the prosperity of the Han Empire in the East, and also created the prosperity of the Roman Empire."
"Restart the Silk Road and revive the Central Plains and the Roman Empire. It is the purpose of the Great Song that Anna came thousands of miles away, Your Majesty. ”
Zhao Huan opened the Kanyu map and looked at it for a long time, and said, "Princess Anna is a good lobbyist, you persuaded me." ”
The resumption of the Silk Road is not just about commerce.
For example, if the Silk Road was restarted in the early stage, it was necessary to survey the countries of the Western Regions, and it was very reasonable to install the inspectors of the Imperial City Division and collect information on the countries of the Western Regions.
After the recovery of the Western Regions, the geographical location of the Western Regions was destined to be barren.
If it can open up commerce between the East and the West, it will be of great significance to the stability and development of the Western Regions! It can also solve the product backlog caused by the high productivity of Dasong.
Kill more than one stone.
Zhao Huan had already written the national politics of the Silk Road in the plan, and Anna's invitation reminded Zhao Huan that he could make preparations in advance.
"It's not difficult to just send envoys to communicate with countries to reopen the Silk Road. I will give Princess Anna an answer after the court meeting. Zhao Huan didn't finish his words, and took a cup of tea.
Anna's face was a little weird, she looked at the emperor of the Great Song Dynasty, looked at Humbert in a daze, and asked Humbert in Greek: "Could it be that I, as the eldest princess of the Holy Roman Empire, arrived here in person, and I can't express the sincerity of my Holy Roman Empire?" ”
"Is it difficult to send an envoy to Rome?"
Humbert replied quickly, also in Greek: "Probably not, the Eastern Dynasty likes to discuss everything, it should be like this." We've all heard that Eastern dynasties love to procrastinate. It is not surprising to think that this Great Song Emperor came. ”
Zhao Huan listened to the two of them muttering a lot, but he didn't understand.
[The historical translator is turned on, and the Greek ...... is translated simultaneously]
Zhao Huan saw the content of the exchange between Anna and Humbert.
"Hehe, my system has finally given me a hard time, and I didn't cut the chain." Zhao Huan praised the system.
[Hmph! I'm strong! 】
Anna is still communicating with Humbert, and the two of them think they are communicating secretly, and Zhao Huan has real-time subtitles here.
"But Humbert, we don't have much money to impress this greedy emperor." Anna said with a worried expression.
Humbert also frowned and said: "The significance of the Silk Road to the Roman Empire does not need to be said by Humbert, Princess Anna knows more than me, whether it is your father or John, in fact, the fundamental reason for the decline of the Holy Roman Empire is poverty." ”
"Eldest Princess Anna, since she has come to Yanjing from Byzantine City for tens of thousands of miles, she can't have any gains."
Anna looked at the emperor of the Great Song Dynasty for a long, long time before asking, "Bishop Humbert, I heard that the emperor of the Great Song Dynasty was an extremely lascivious person, and he even married a princess of Western Xia. ”
Zhao Huan looked at Anna's words in the subtitles, and almost didn't squirt out a mouthful of tea!
His lustful reputation has spread to the Dragon Court?! Even the eldest princess of the Roman Empire knew!
[Yes, the name of the scumbag, from the Holy Roman Empire to the Wa Kingdom, from the east to the west, everyone knows it, no one knows it. Convex (艹)! 】
Zhao Huan scratched his head, Cao Xian's thing was to divide and consume the strength of Western Xia, and then recover his homeland in one fell swoop.
Pass it on, you can get the benefits.
Zhao Huan is an extreme pragmatist, as long as there are benefits, not to mention Li Qianshun's wife, it is Li Qianshun's mother, it doesn't matter.
Anyway, I don't spoil them.
"Humbert, do you have to sacrifice for the Holy Empire to that extent?" Anna asked with some hesitation, she looked at her figure and said with a smile: "Humbert, is the beauty and figure of the eldest princess of the Holy Roman Empire attractive enough to the Great Song Emperor?" ”
"No, you don't!" Zhao Huan hurriedly interrupted the conversation between the two.
If you continue to talk about it, you may be rumored to be an evil dragon, and whoever will be arrested will be caught!
And he didn't forget that Zhu Lian, Zhang Tanghua and Liu Wan were in Funing Palace against outsiders.
This is his last stubbornness.
Anna covered her lips lightly and asked in surprise: "Well, rejecting a beautiful woman in the West is another insult to a woman. But now what is more important, is it true that Your Majesty still understands Greek? ”
Zhao Huan nodded and said, "I understand a little, I understand a little." ”
