Chapter 124: Scarborough's Orphan (I)

In the ninth century 877 A.D., the autumn equinox, Krakow, the capital of the Kingdom of Poland, was full of people, and the people here were dressed in Chinese clothes and doing various things in this prosperous city.

Krakow, the capital city of Poland, is also known as "Lanking", which was originally the name of Krakow by the merchants of the Chinese Empire, but with the deepening of the Chineseization of Poland, the people of Poland gradually called Krakow "Lanking".

It's also funny to say that Yin Lankang, the Polish State of Jingzhaofu, is the favorite of Krakow's nickname "Lanking".

Lan Kang also said in the Confucian school he established: "Orchid is a kind of flower, in the Chinese culture, because the orchid grows very elegant, its leaves are elegant and beautiful, its fragrance is elegant and quiet, and the orchid grows in the depths of the mountains and forests, not competing with the peach and plum for fragrant flowers, not competing with the peony and rose, the orchid is like a Confucian gentleman, and the orchid is really a gentleman in the flower." ”

It is precisely because of Lan Kang's unsparing praise of orchids that Confucian scholars in Krakow have an inexplicable feeling about the word "orchid".

The most terrifying thing is that since this group of Confucian scholars knew that Orchid was the gentleman of flowers, they no longer called Krakow's real name, and they all called Krakow "Lanjing".

There were even some radical Confucian scholars, and they even wrote to the Polish court to ask the Polish court to change Krakow to Lanking, and finally made the Polish king Scarborough call Lan Kang to the palace for a night of discussion, and then Lan Kang came forward to stop the nonsense of this group of Confucian students.

However, Lankang also fought for it, and finally the Polish court announced: Although the name of Krakow, the capital of Poland, cannot be changed, the imperial court allows Krakow to have another name, and Krakow's nickname is "Lan", of course, this title can only be used by the people, and the official name is still Krakow.

That's right, it's just a single word "Lan", but the common people and Confucian scholars still call Krakow "Lanjing" verbally.

After several years of development, the Kingdom of Poland gradually became richer, the people lived and worked in peace and contentment, and the court officials were quite incorruptible.

Of course, this is not to say that the Kingdom of Poland is perfect, the Kingdom of Poland also has shortcomings, and the shortcomings of the Kingdom of Poland are, to be honest, a very serious shortcoming.

This disadvantage is that the defenders of the Kingdom of Poland have only tens of thousands of people, and all of these defenders have been arranged by the Polish court to defend the nomadic Avar tribe in the south on the border south of Lanking.

Neither the northern, western, and eastern borders of the Kingdom of Poland had many troops, but it was just a thousand troops stationed on each of the northern, western, and eastern borders.

This made the Kingdom of Poland very dependent on the three countries of the Alliance, and if one of these three countries tore up the Covenant, Poland would not be able to hold the east, west, or south at all.

In fact, the Polish court had already discovered this drawback, so they had been planning to send part of the army from the south to the other three sides for several years.

However, Simon Sbro, the second brother of the Polish general Scarborough, a son of the Polish kingdom, disagreed.

Simmons Bro thought that this was the imperial court weakening his military power, and he directly did not have the order of the imperial court, Simmons Bro thought that the imperial court could recruit troops locally, but ran to draw his army.

But in fact? The Polish people have lived too comfortably for a few years, and they think that there will be no war in the north, east and west, why should they go to those places to serve as soldiers.

The fact is that there is only war in the south of the Kingdom of Poland, so even if someone wants to join the army, they will go directly to the General's Palace to register, instead of going elsewhere to register.

Fortunately, this matter can be slowed down, because the Chinese Empire in the east has been crusading eastward for the past few years, and there is no time to invade them; The kingdom of Great Moravia to the west had been at odds with the kingdom of East Francia further west for several years, so there was no time to invade them; Finally, the Kingdom of Pomerania to the north was constantly fighting against the Vikings, and Pomerania had some rebellions from time to time, so there was no time to invade Poland.

Tonight, the Polish king Scarbro suddenly summoned the important ministers of the Kingdom of Poland to the palace for discussion.

These important ministers were Feng Haoyuan, the Marquis of Poland, the Great Polish General Simmonsbro, the Polish Zongzheng Tocanos, and the Polish Jingzhao Prefecture Yin Kantebro (Lankang).

This group of people can be said to be the top ministers of the Polish Kingdom, and they gathered outside the palace of the Polish King Scarborough with solemn faces.

In fact, when they arrived at the hall of the Polish royal palace, they saw the Queen of Poland, Jaquilina, waiting for them.

"Zitong has seen all of you." Jaquilina made a blessing to them.

"Queen, I wonder what the king has called us to do? What about the king? Feng Haoyuan, the prime minister of Poland, frowned and asked Jaquilina.

"yes? Queen, what did the king tell me to come and wait? The Polish Jingzhao Mansion Yin also bowed his hand to Jaquilina, and then asked with the same frown.

The Polish general Simmonsbro and the Polish Sosho Tocanos also looked at Jaquilina with puzzled eyes.

"Ladies and gentlemen, since you have all asked questions, then Zitong will also tell you directly! Ladies and gentlemen, come with your ears! Jaquilina said with a sad look on her face when she heard the group of people ask.

Seeing that this group of people had come with their ears in their ears, Jaquilina said with tears in her eyes: "Ladies and gentlemen, the king is on him, the king is not good!" ”

"What?" The group of people all looked at Jaquilina in shock, they really couldn't figure out why Scarborough was only middle-aged, so he suddenly couldn't do it.

They glanced at each other, and then they all looked at Zongzheng Tokanos, who nodded and asked with a solemn expression, "Queen, are you sure you're telling the truth?" How could he suddenly not work, the king? ”

"The king, the king, he was actually not in good health three years ago, and the king often coughed up blood two years ago. The king relied on taking medicine to persist until now!! Jaquilina said with tears in her eyes.

"What?" The four stared at Jaquelina with wide eyes and disbelief.

"Ladies and gentlemen, please follow Zitong, the king is still waiting for you." Jaquirina said to the four of them.

"The Queen of Labor leads the way!" Poland Prime Minister Feng Haoyuan said.

"Well, everyone, please come with Zitong." Jaquilina nodded, and then led the four of them to the door of the palace of King Scarbro of Poland.

"King, Zitong has already brought people here!" Jaquilina said at the door, making a blessing inside.

"Cough, cough, cough, let, let them in!" Scarborough said weakly as he lay on the bed in the dormitory.

"Yes, four adults, please!" Jaquilina stretched out her hand.

"Queen~, you~ come in too!" Scarborough said weakly.

"Yes, King!" Jaquilina nodded, and then walked into Scarborough's bedchamber first.

The other four looked at each other and walked into Scarborough's bedchamber.

When they entered, they saw Scarborough looking at them with a pale face and a weak bed.
