Chapter Seventy-Two: The Prosperity of the Royal Family

In peacetime, people live a leisurely and comfortable daily life. No more wars, no more relatives killed or injured on the battlefield. After the day's work, the comfortable people go to the opera house in the evening to enjoy a wonderful performance. Some people will go to get together with relatives and friends to eat and drink. O young man! Meet in the beautiful garden, male and female friends in the flowering season play and play without fear. Macedonia's population has ushered in a new upsurge of growth.

Carefree time goes by very quickly. Ten years have passed in the blink of an eye.

BC, 249 summer.

In recent years, the kingdom has enjoyed bumper harvests in various regions, and the ports are busy with trade, and the smooth stone roads are full of caravans. The rich and powerful kingdom of Macedonia became a paradise that many other people yearn for.

As soon as the war ended, the soldiers seemed very happy, because they no longer had to worry about losing their lives on the front line. Occasionally, they can also have some drinks, and later they become hearty drinkers. But these fierce men soon got tired of such a monotonous and peaceful life. They began to miss the glorious moments of the former battlefield, which were the special way men communicated. The comrades-in-arms are close to each other and regard each other as brothers in life and death.

The soldiers miss their relatives back home very much, so Gueras will often give the soldiers the opportunity to go home to visit their relatives, and if the military level is enough, there will be three months of vacation. But you need to take turns to go back, and there are only 100 people at a time. There are also some people who have married and started families in the local area, and these people still have warm families as spiritual support. But most of them still have to stay in the barracks, and life in the garrison is boring and boring, except for training is training. There are frequent incidents of soldiers drinking and making trouble, and for these empty and lonely young men, there is nowhere to vent their energy, and fighting is light. When they looked at their uniforms and weapons, their hearts began to glorify war and yearn for war with romanticism.

The people's living standards have improved, and the distribution of social wealth has stabilized at a relatively reasonable range. The soil for the existence of bandits and rebels has become very thin. The army now has no combat mission, it is at home. Wherever there are rebels, the nearby garrisons will rush to exterminate them, which is a good opportunity to exercise. The fighters took this opportunity to come out and stretch their muscles. So recently, there have been very few rebels in the country, almost nowhere to be seen. Another important reason is that Oonos issued a very harsh and harsh order to kill the rebels.

King Gueras had been in power for almost ten years, and he was very satisfied with the prosperity of the world and the prosperity of the people and the strength of the country. He was 53 years old, and his father, Antigones, at the age of 50, began to plot to send troops to Greece to seize land for Macedonia. His merit lay in strengthening the kingdom he had inherited from the king. It was with Gueras that he was conservative and forbearant that laid the foundation for Macedonia's next move.

The king had two princes, one was Aloyos 35 years old and the other was Abrias 32 years old. Two lovely and lovely princesses, the eldest princess Ogo is 15 years old and is already married to Aguirocus Ambracia 17 years old, who is the son of Interior Secretary Callas. The three children were born to Gallas and Akemina. The little princess's name is Apsudis and she is 9 years old. It was born to Princess Dulcis. The king was very fond of this little princess, and she was the jewel of Guerras.

Aloyos is 35 years old, and he originally wanted to gain more exploits and honors on the battlefield, but the war stopped for ten years. He also became middle-aged, and his quiet life increased his endurance. He is now more poised and more like a king and commander than just a cavalry commander or a front-line general. Not long ago, he held a grand coming-of-age ceremony for his 16-year-old son, Podare Ríos. At the ceremony, Aloyos gave his son Podarerios a full set of military equipment: the best horse from Macedonia, a Macedonian golden helmet, a purple cloak of the Roman senate, a full body of Roman gold armor, a Roman shield, a Macedonian lance, and a sword of Thessaloniki.

On Podarre Ríos' 16th birthday, King Garras of Macedon personally came to Rome to celebrate the coming-of-age ceremony for his eldest grandson. He gave him a great gift and canonized Podare Ríos as regent of Rome, who would succeed to the title of King of Rome after Antigone and Aloyos. This means a lot to him, as soon as he became an adult, he has already become a king, showing his supreme and glorious Ziwei destiny.

As the saying goes, "Three years old is big, seven years old is old." "Podare Ríos' eyes are still as sharp as they were when he was a child. It's just that his eagle eye is more determined and keen, revealing infinite depth from it, which is elusive. Podare Ríos stood there coldly, as handsome as a Roman heroic statue, but very different from the beautiful men that the world called it. His father, Aloyos, was a young hero, and his mother, Sylfin, was a famous beauty on the island of Crete. He has a good body and appearance, but his unique temperament is so unique, it is as if he himself comes from another realm.

As soon as he saw Podare Ríos, he nodded his head and said that this was the most prosperous generation of their Antigonus, and that his grandson would be a very honorary king in the future. At the feast, Aloyos was also very happy to see his father, and he was by his side, chatting with him. As soon as Garras saw that the house was full of children and grandchildren, all of them looked like they were all promising, and they didn't care about trivial matters before. He put his 10-year-old grandson Sith in one hand and Podare Rios in the other, and celebrated with everyone over a drink. Abrias also came with him to see his brother and nephews.

"Still in the royal palace in Thessaloniki, Macedonia, you are only a few years old. It's so big, and grandpa often hugs you and teases you. And now, the appearance is dignified and extraordinary. Truly my future heir, the future king of the Macedonians. ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty! I am still studying hard, and I will live up to the expectations of my ancestors, grandfathers, fathers and elders, and do my part. ”

"Good!"

This humble remark was pleasant to listen to, and the king raised his glass to the guests, and they all rose:

"Congratulations, Your Majesty! Congratulations, Your Majesty! The prosperity of our successor royal family will become a great weapon. ”

Podarerios was secretly happy that he would most likely become king of Macedonia, but that was only the beginning for him. Talking and laughing is just that he has to fit the scene of this banquet now, and his gaze is still deep and incomprehensible.

Garas was secretly happy in his heart, he was very good at reading people, and he felt that the child in front of him had an indescribable temperament, the respect of the ninety-five. He made up his mind to officially appoint Aloyos as the heir to the Macedonian throne.
