Chapter 495: Great Qin Bai Fumei, a dowry of 100 million taels
Liu Xue and Shalina chatted for a while, and then sat there by themselves, studying some of their Great Qin's information, and saw Zhao Jin and Xiahou Wang sitting on one side without talking to each other.
She did that with Xiahou Wang yesterday, and now that she saw Zhao Jin in front, she felt a little upset. Although Zhao Jin and Luna were very close last night, after all, they didn't do anything out of the ordinary, and he and Xiahou Wang did something wrong on impulse.
Liu Xue beckoned to Zhao Jin and motioned for him to come over. Zhao Jin walked over with a straight face, sat down opposite her, and Liu Xue said, "Are you planning to continue to have a cold war with me like this?" ”
Zhao Jin said: "How dare I? You are the prince, the future female emperor, and we will meet each other as courtesy. ”
Liu Xue slapped him and said angrily: "Can you not be yin and yang?" ”
"Wechen obeys."
"Zhao Jin," Liu Xue said angrily, "If you do this again, we will have nothing to say!" ”
"That Weichen has retired," Zhao Jin said, getting up to leave.
"Zhao Jin!"
"Dare to ask when the prince will order?"
"You? Get lost! ”
"Wechen obeyed, Wechen retreated," Zhao Jin said and walked away.
Liu Xue watched him walk away, stomping his feet angrily, but there was nothing she could do. Xindao: If it weren't for the royal family's face, the very stuffy old lady would have to regret marrying you!
was getting angry, and saw Gaita shouting not far away: "Prince, Prince!" ”
Although it was on a plane, Gaita was isolated and not allowed to approach the prince, and at this moment he was stopped by two guards. Liu Xue beckoned and motioned for him to come over.
Gaita walked over with a smile, sat down across from her, and asked, "What's the matter, is the little couple having an awkward relationship?" ”
Liu Xue said: "It's okay, it's just a small disagreement." ”
Gaita smiled and said: "It's no secret that the prince and Zhao Gongzi are not in harmony, haven't you seen a big report in the media?" ”
Liu Xue sighed, and Gaita also sighed.
"What are you sighing for?"
"I know about political marriages, and I suffer from them," Gaita said. ”
"Oh? Tell me about it? ”
Gaita said, "I won't tell you anything, in fact, this is not my Great Qin's secret. My father, the emperor, was engaged in armaments, wanted to compete with the Han Dynasty, and made the treasury empty. He borrowed money from the richest man, the Duke of Rigal. ”
Liu Xue said: "As a subject of Great Qin, let alone borrowing money, even if you donate it, that is also what you should do." ”
"That being said," said Gaita, "but the Duke of Rigal has made a condition, and that is that I must marry his daughter. ”
Liu Xue said: "I borrowed the money again, and I married Bai Fumei and went home, the best of both worlds!" ”
"But I don't like Miss Bai Li."
The Miss Bai Li he said was the daughter of Duke Rui Jiale, the richest second generation of the Great Qin Empire.
The richest rich second generation in the Han Empire is Wen Yin, Liu Xie's fifth concubine.
Liu Xue asked, "Is this Bai Li very ugly?" ”
"No," said Gaita, "she is not only not ugly, but she is beautiful, and she can almost be described as a nation, and the Duke of Regala has said that if I can marry Bai Li, he will give a million gold coins for free." ”
The exchange rate of Daqin gold coins and Dahan silver stamps is: one Daqin gold coin = 100 two Han silver stamps. Therefore, one million Daqin gold coins is 100 million taels of silver, and the purchasing power is equivalent to the current 20 billion RMB.
Liu Xue smiled: "Then Miss Bai Li's dowry is really a lot!" I think that my Aunt Wen's dowry back then was 5 million taels of silver, that is, 50,000 gold coins, which was already a lot, but it was still dwarfed by this Bai Li. Why is the prince of Gaita still unwilling? ”
Gaita shook her head and said, "But this is a political marriage, there is no love at all, it is not what I like, and it is ......"
"And you've got a sweetheart."
"Yes, it's a pity that she's dead," said Geita bitterly, "to be murdered by the conspiracy of my father and my brother." In order for me to cut off contact with Leddy and marry Bai Li, so as to get Duke Regale's self-help and develop armaments. ”
Liu Xue fell into deep thought, wondering if she would also want to rebel against a political marriage for the sake of her own happiness like Gaita.
Gaita said: "This time, my father announced that I would go back, saying that there was something important, and it was estimated that it was something related to the throne. ”
"The throne?" Liu Xue asked, "Isn't your brother Prince Caracalla already made a prince?" What else could there be to do with the throne? ”
Gaita said: "We Daqin, you are different from the Great Han, my father is old, and he recruited me back, probably to pass on the throne to my imperial brother, so that I can go back to witness." ”
In the original history, the Great Qin Emperor died ten years ago, and his two sons, Dalakala and Gaita, ascended the throne at the same time, each administering half of the territory of Great Qin.
In the original history, Great Qin did not have such a large territory as it is now, only the land along the Mediterranean coast.
However, it is said that in the original history, this Caracalla and Gaita were emperors at the same time, and it was not long before there was a civil war, and Caracalla killed all the supporters of Gaita and Gaita, thus holding the imperial power of Great Qin alone.
However, the good times did not last long, and Caracalla was only emperor for six years before he was assassinated by his guards, after which the captain of the guard, Macrinus, usurped the throne and became the emperor of Great Qin.
Of course, this is all the original history, in which Gaita died ten years ago, and Caracalla also died four years ago.
This is the current history, in reality, both of his brothers are still alive and well, not only are they not dead, but their father Severus, who should have been dead for ten years, is also alive.
Originally, only Liu Xie knew the original history, and since Liu Xue had become the prince and was facing the upcoming war, it was necessary for Liu Xie to talk to her about the original history of Great Qin.
So Liu Xue knows these things.
Since Liu Xie knew the original history, there was no doubt that the Great Qin Emperor Seviru must also know.
Liu Xue asked, "Is there a person named Macrinus in your Great Qin?" ”
Gaita said: "Yes, the captain of the former guard of the Great Qin Imperial Palace was executed ten years ago for dereliction of duty. ”
Liu Xue smiled secretly, this Macrinus is the Emperor of Great Qin after Severus and Caracalla, Severus executed this person in advance in order to prevent future troubles, which shows that he knows the original history.
Seeing Liu Xue's casual smile, Gaita asked, "Did the prince find anything?" ”
Liu Xue shook her head and said, "No, you continue." ”
Liu Xue is very similar to telling him these things, but she knows that she can't, because she knows that this Great Qin and the Great Han are friendly on the surface, but in fact they are hostile countries, if she tells Gaita the truth, not only will it not play a role in discord, but it will also make Gaita suspicious and distrust her.
Gaita looked left and right and said, "So I'm in a difficult situation, and I want to work with you." ”
