In the pavilion of the imperial garden, Li Liangzuo is teasing his youngest son who has just been born for a few months, this youngest son was born by Wang Yunyan for Li Liangzuo, and is Li Liangzuo's eighteenth prince, currently the youngest, as for how many sons Li Liangzuo can have in the future, Li Liangzuo himself does not know.

"Wechen see Your Majesty." Yang Kai came to Li Liangzuo's front and bowed.

"See Your Majesty'......"

"Aiqing Wai ......"

"Your Majesty Xie......"

Seeing that the two of them were a little restrained, Li Liangzuo said to the two: "It's not that the previous dynasty didn't need to be so restrained, I came to you two today to learn about the West, and I haven't had time to see the gifts you two gave me!" Go and move all those things here, little Fuzi! ”

Yang Kai brought a lot of things to Li Liangzuo from Europa, most of them were some Europa armor and weapons, and Long Weiping's gift for Li Liangzuo was a cross made of gold with gems on it, and Lang Weiping sent the cross to Li Liangzuo and said: "Your Majesty the Emperor, this is a gift I dedicate to you, I hope you can like it." ”

Li Liangzuo looked at the cross and said, "Thank you for your kindness, I heard that this thing is used by you when you pray!" But I don't seem to need it in this life. ”

Lang Weiping still didn't understand what Li Liangzuo had politely rejected him, and Lang Weiping said to Li Liangzuo: "Yes, my majesty, you are so smart, this cross is for prayer." ”

"Yang Aiqing, what's the name of this foreigner?"

"Your Majesty, his name is Lang Weiping."

"Long Weiping, I asked you, do you know how to paint."

"Of course I will."

"That's right, Xiao Fuzi went to the Royal Academy of Painting to send a painter to compare the painting techniques of the East and the West with Lang Weiping."

"Yes, the minion obeys."

Soon the painter of the Royal Academy of Painting came, and Li Liangzuo said to the two; "The two of you will draw my beloved concubine, whoever paints well, I will be rewarded."

"Thank you, Your Majesty......"

Long Weiping later wrote in his memoirs; "Painting the emperor's concubine was the first task I accepted from the emperor, and later I learned that the emperor was actually testing whether I had real talent and learning, although the emperor was not interested in Catholicism, but the emperor hoped that he could recruit more talents; The Great Xia Emperor has a mind like the sea, as long as he is talented, he can be recognized by the emperor......"

After the painting competition, Li Liangzuo made an evaluation of the two paintings, first of all, the painters of the Royal Academy of Painting used the classical Chinese painting method, although the painting is not particularly real, but it is more meaningful; And Lang Weiping painted an oil painting, Li Liangzuo said to Lang Weiping: "Lang Weiping, although your painting is very real, but there is no more artistic conception, I hope you can improve your painting method, combine these two paintings, and paint more real and meaningful." ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your teaching......"

"Lang Weiping obeyed the order, I will allow you to enter the Royal Academy of Painting and become the imperial painter of my Great Xia royal family."

"Thank you, Your Majesty, long live, long live, long live......"

Li Liangzuo smiled and asked Yang Kai, "Yang Aiqing, have you drawn the map I asked you to draw?" ”

"Your Majesty, the artistic conception has been drawn." Yang Kai said.

"Xiao Fuzi sent someone to move the map to the imperial study, I want to take a good look at it." Li Liangzuo said excitedly.

In the imperial study, the map drawn by Yang Kai was tiled to the ground, and the entire map was actually a map of the Silk Road from Xingqing Mansion to Rome, with many countries marked along the way, Li Liangzuo took off his shoes and looked at it carefully and said: "Do you know Yang Aiqing?" You've done a great job for me this time; With this map, my army can ...... all the way west."

"Little Fuzi, send someone to draw a map of the Seljuk Empire, and then send it to the Anxi Metropolitan Protectorate to hand it over to Li Yi, this kid must be in a hurry."

"Yes, Servant Command."

"Yang Kai! Who is the current Catholic pope? ”

Yang Kai looked at Li Liangzuo in shock, because Yang Kai didn't tell Li Liangzuo about Europa and the Pope at all, although he was shocked, Yang Kai still said to Li Liangzuo: "Your Majesty, the current Pope is Urban II, how could Your Majesty suddenly ask about this person." ”

Li Liangzuo did not answer Yang Kai's words, but walked to the window by himself and looked at the sky outside, this Urban II Li Liangzuo knew something in his previous life, he was the initiator of the First Crusade, and it was from him that the power of Catholicism in Europe became more and more huge, and now Europe has entered the dark Middle Ages, and the power of the pope has overridden the power of the monarch; Although Long Weiping did not say it, Li Liangzuo had roughly guessed the real reason why Urban II sent Long Weiping.

Urban II's sending Lang Weiping to preach was only the first step, and once Catholicism in the East developed to a certain point, I am afraid that Urban II would incite the people to revolt, and the ultimate goal would be to control the whole East; Urban II was actually a very ambitious man, otherwise he would not have launched a crusade, seeing that Li Liangzuo fell into the courtiers, Xiao Fuzi waved his hand to everyone and let everyone leave, then rolled up the map and slowly retreated.

Later, in a letter to Europe, Long Weiping wrote: "Before I knew the East, I had no idea that the emperors of the Great Xia Empire had so much power, and even their religion was under the control of the emperor; The people here believed in the emperor more than in religion, and the emperor of the Great Xia Empire was the son of God in the eyes of the Xia people;

After living here for a long time, I have learned more, it turns out that there is not only the country of the Great Xia Empire in the east, there is also a huge empire called the Great Song Dynasty in the southeast of the Great Xia Empire, and there is a country completely surrounded by the Great Xia Empire in the northeast of the Great Xia Empire, and these three countries are still in a period of peace;

Twenty or thirty years before I came, in fact, the Great Xia Empire was still a very weak country, and they fought down such a huge empire under the leadership of the Xia Emperor, which was a powerful military empire, and the emperor was the supreme commander of all armies, and no one dared to disobey the emperor's orders;

In addition to bringing vast territory to his people, the Great Xia Emperor also made his people very prosperous, which was also an important reason why the people loved the emperor; I also heard that the Emperor was building a palace in the newly occupied territories in the south, and although I have not yet seen this palace under construction, I had the privilege of seeing a model of this new palace at the Royal Academy of Painting, and it was so magnificent that it would not be possible to build such a magnificent palace even if all the wealth of Europe were combined......"

After Long's letter was sent to Europa, it immediately caused a great shock, and for a while Europa set off a wave of oriental fever, both the nobles and the poor were proud and proud of owning oriental goods, and Longweipin's letter was like a butterfly, unknowingly changing the history of Europa.
