Vologis VI said to his soldiers: "The wine of the Han Kingdom tastes endless, and according to this list, each general and official will give them thirty jars. ”

The soldier smacked his lips, forcibly sucked the saliva back into his stomach, received the warrant, took the list, and busily sent the wine.

In the city of Babylon, Liu Ze admired the beautiful city, and said to Liu Ye with a sigh: "The civilization of the two rivers is indeed worthy of its name, after our army occupies Persia and stabilizes the political situation, we must vigorously develop local agriculture and make Persia a great rear, so as to map Rome." ”

Liu Ye said: "The Roman Emperor Caracalla was arrogant and lascivious, unpopular with the people, and blindly relied on the military, which caused the Senate to complain. Can our army stay in Persia and wait and see what happens? ”

Liu Ze said: "Southern Persia, known as the Arabian Peninsula, on the peninsula, the Arabs mostly live in a tribal situation, regardless of the rest, the Sassanid Dynasty, all look up to the nose, and now our army is here, the Arabs are still watching, I intend to divide an army, occupy the Arabian Peninsula, plunder its youth, aid the Yun Chang army, speed up the excavation of the canal, so as to facilitate the Gongjin naval army to enter the Mediterranean Sea and disturb Rome. ”

Liu Ye said: "On the peninsula, the Arabs are still in ignorance, why does the emperor value it so much? ”

Liu Ze secretly said in his heart, not to mention that the people on this peninsula will occupy the entire Persian Gulf in the future, it is their teachings that quickly replaced Zoroastrianism, and also introduced to the Western Regions of our country, and then spread to the country, fighting against Buddhism, Taoism, and even Christianity; Then there are the underground resources of the peninsula, which have aroused the coveting of many hegemonic countries in later generations. Therefore, this area must not be easily parted.

Liu Ze sorted out his thoughts and said to Liu Ye: "The peninsula is frequently close to the sea, rich in products, and there are many places suitable for building ports. Brother Meng De stayed in Guishuang, presumably the situation has stabilized, Qian'er has the assistance of Zhuge Ke, and Guishuang should be able to be treated. I intend to order Brother Mengde to come and manage the army, and Ziyang to assist Jian'er in governing Persia, and when the time is ripe, march into Rome and seize the Mediterranean. ”

Liu Ye frowned and said: "The elite in the country is almost all in Persia, and the emperor's general power is easily paid, and the ministers are uneasy. ”

Liu Ze said with a smile: "Ziyang, don't worry, although you are in charge of political affairs, but you are still in charge of the army's general missionary position, Yun Chang, Yide, Zilong, etc. are all important ministers who have followed me for many years, Brother Meng De don't say that he is dedicated to the country, he has the intention of rebellion, is it possible to succeed?" ”

Liu Ye said: "Xun Gongda is a wise and resourceful man, Xiahou Shuangxiong has a great reputation, plus Cao Ren and Cao Zhen, the strength of the old Cao family is not weak. ”

Liu Ze said: "I have a close relationship with Meng De, and Brother Meng De will never have two hearts." The Cao clan is all in the country, and Ziyang has no need to worry. ”

As a child of the royal family, Liu Ye must be concerned about the consolidation of imperial power, Liu Ze's family business is too big, Persia is too far away from the country, and the military power is handed over to a person with a foreign surname, so it is inevitable to have ideas. Seeing that Liu Ze trusted Cao Cao so much, he sighed in his heart, the emperor's mind is really very human.

Liu Ye said: "The emperor crisscrosses the world, has a heart for the United States, and the ministers admire it inexplicably. It's just that the emperor has been away from the country for a long time, and I don't know when he will return to China? ”

Liu Ze said with a smile: "After Persia is stable, return immediately." ”

Cao Cao found an opportunity in Guishan, made Hedoro do, and announced thirty charges. Where did the Kushan people think that Hedoro was so cruel and unkind, it turned out that the land and property that the Han people gave him, Hethoro actually thought about taking it back, cutting off people's wealth is equivalent to killing his parents, Hedoro, the old boy, is not authentic, hearing that Hedoro was executed, the whole country rejoiced. It's just that geese don't fly without heads, and with such a large territory, there must be someone in charge, right? Cao Cao timely proposed that Liu Qian, the emperor of the Great Han Kingdom and the son of Jinguang Bodhisattva, was intelligent, benevolent, and compassionate, and could be the lord of Guishan. After Liu Qian arrived in Guishan, he actively pursued domestic policies, liberated slaves, returned land to the people, taught farming, and provided grain seeds, and the agricultural harvest in Guishan had doubled, and the common people had food to eat, houses to live in, and the basic survival requirements were met. Compared with the previous Vesudeva I when he was in power, the living standards of the common people have improved many times, all of this is brought by the son of the emperor of the Han Kingdom, and Liu Qian is willing to sit on the throne of Guishan.

Liu Qian successfully controlled Guishan, Zhuge Ke was the prime minister, and the green and strong part of Guishan went to Persia, and the number of troops was only able to maintain law and order, Cao Cao left an army of 50,000 and handed it over to Liu Qian, and he took the rest of the army and rushed to Persia to meet Liu Ze.

Liu Ze was in the city of Babylon during this time, and he had been thinking about how to unite people's hearts, and there was no doubt that doctrine was the best means. The doctrines of various schools in China, from the first emperor of Qin Shi Huang to burn books and pit Confucianism, to Dong Zhongshu's proposal to depose the hundred schools, respect Confucianism alone, the situation of a hundred schools of thought no longer exists, the Han Confucianism is respected, the rest of the factions have declined, Huang Lao's learning is still respected in the early days of the Han Dynasty, and now Taoism has become a rat crossing the street after the Yellow Turban Uprising; Zhang Lu's Wudou Rice Sect has been carried forward well in Hanzhong, but when religion and policy are involved, everything has changed for the better.

Liu Ze remembered a sentence from later generations, white lotus, red flowers, green lotus leaves, and the three religions turned out to be one family. It is said that there are similarities in the teachings of Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism, and in the final analysis, they are all to educate the world, but the means are different. Liu Ze was born under the red flag in later generations, grew up in New China, worshiped the founding ancestor in his heart, believed in atheism, as a small country doctor, he really did not have any interest in Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism, and it was the greatest wish in his heart to cure diseases and save talents. Since the crossing, the level of contact has changed, and the understanding has also changed, and now how to maintain one's rule is a daily consideration.

How do you do it? Zhang Jiao is undoubtedly the most successful one, in just a dozen years, millions of believers, unveiled the rod, directly shook the foundation of the Han Dynasty, Taoism seems to be very set in terms of demagogy. So use Taoism to unite people's hearts and promote Taoism on the territory occupied by the Han Dynasty? What if someone with ulterior motives takes advantage of this opportunity? Liu Ze had a headache.

The three religions turned out to be one family, one family? Liu Ze secretly thought, what if the three religions of Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism were synthesized and a Protestant religion was founded? What about the candidates? Liu Ze thought about it for a whole month, but he didn't figure it out, and he reported it: "Your Majesty, Lord Cao has arrived." ”

Liu Ze was overjoyed, he hadn't seen Cao Cao for a long time, so he hurriedly came out to greet him. Cao Cao walked all the way and saw the round city of Babylon, the beautiful buildings, and the amazing hanging gardens, and he was overwhelmed. Cao Cao laughed when he saw Liu Ze: "Your Majesty, I miss the old minister." The wealth of this Persian kingdom is no less than that of our Han Dynasty? ”
