Co-ruling Emperor Leo. Macedonia saw Lin Anjiong's fierce gaze, and he was not annoyed.

Leo. Macedonia knew that the general from the Chinese Empire on the other side would choose to cooperate with him in the end.

After all, the situation in the Byzantine Empire of Eastern Rome is not right now, and it has always been in a gloomy situation, and most people are suspicious and jealous.

Leo always knew that his brother, the co-ruling emperor Constantine, also wanted to win over Lin An, a general from the Chinese Empire.

But Leo didn't think that Lin An, the general of Zhenguo, would switch to Constantine, why? Because Constantine didn't want Lin An to leave.

In today's Roman palace, Constantine refused to let Lin An leave, so Constantine would not want Lin An to leave in the future.

After all, as long as Lin An's army was still in Constantinople (New Rome), the capital of the Eastern Roman Byzantine Empire, the situation in Constantinople could be stabilized.

It's just that Lin An really wants to leave, he doesn't want to participate in the war for power in the Eastern Roman Byzantine Empire.

Because in that case, most of the soldiers under Lin An's command may not necessarily have a security guarantee, not to mention the participation of other country's generals in other countries' political affairs, which will make the two countries suspicious of this general.

Lin An didn't want to be suspicious of His Majesty Gao Yang Yajun, the Holy Son of Heaven of the Huaxia Empire, although he knew that it was unlikely that the Holy Son of Heaven would be suspicious of him.

But there is always a what if, what if you are suspicious?

Even if His Majesty the Son of Heaven is not suspicious, there are a group of people who will make His Majesty the Son of Heaven suspicious, such as court officials.

After all, today's Chinese Empire is different from the Huaxia in Wanzhou back then, and today's Chinese Empire can be described as vast.

Therefore, different alliances will naturally be established in the Chinese Empire, such as the meritorious nobles of Wanzhou who were originally born in Wanzhou, such as the original Rus family who did their best after surrendering to the Chinese Empire.

There are also scholars who have risen in the middle and lower classes by virtue of military merits and examinations, and they have their own interests.

Although they are all loyal to His Majesty the Holy Son of Heaven of the Chinese Empire, this does not mean that they have no other interests and needs.

Even the meritorious nobles who were also born in Wanzhou of the Chinese Empire will have some disputes between them, such as the Shangshu of Wanzhou and the Prime Minister Mei Andao, who are considered to be the oldest meritorious nobles of the Chinese Empire.

And the generals of the other generals' mansions in Wanzhou, who were conquered by Gaoyang Yajun, were another group.

Among the oldest meritorious nobles in Wanzhou, Prime Minister Mei Andao's family can be said to be the first wealthy family in the Chinese Empire.

The Mei family is privately known as a door and two and a half phases, Mei Xianying, the inner minister, Mei Xianying, the foreign minister, Mei Andao, and the half of the Yuxu general Mei Dingguo.

Prime Minister Mei Andao's qualifications are good enough, his birth is good enough, and his ability is even more outstanding. And Mei Andao's two children, Yuxu General Mei Dingguo and University scholar Mei Xianying, are also outstanding in ability and have won the hearts of the emperor.

It can be said that the Mei family holds at least two-thirds of the rights of the Chinese Empire, but why is no one against the Mei family?

Because Prime Minister Mei Andao is a low-key person, likes to do practical things, and has a good reputation. To put it bluntly, Prime Minister Mei Andao can suppress the chief officials of the various Shangshu and various states and counties in the court of the Chinese Empire, and it is precisely because of this that the internal peace of the Zhongshu Province of the Chinese Empire will be performed.

And in addition to Prime Minister Mei Andao, Gaoyang Yajun, the Holy Son of the Chinese Empire, is also able to suppress the ministers, when Gaoyang Yajun unified Wanzhou, conquered Luozhou and Taozhou, and found a way to get Taozhou and Lizhou, which was vassalized in the Chinese Empire.

In addition, Gaoyang Yajun vigorously supported the construction of roads, Cao Yun, post stations, cities, etc., which benefited the people of the whole country of the Chinese Empire.

After all, most of the people who built roads, transport, post stations and cities in Gaoyang Yajun were built by the military department, prisoners and people from Luozhou and Luzhou, and they didn't need to pay for the work, just take care of the food.

When Luozhou and Luzhou had just been incorporated into China, they had no food at all, although the imperial court of the Chinese Empire distributed grain.

But the time was in the cold season, and there was nothing, so most of the people in Luozhou and Luzhou joined in the construction of their homes.

It can be said that Gao Yang Yajun's prestige was completely obtained by war and construction of convenience measures, and there was no one in the Chinese Empire who could shake Gao Yang Yajun's prestige.

Generally speaking, most of the officials and generals of the Chinese Empire also relied on their own abilities to achieve their merits.

And the general of Zhenguo, Lin An, is different, the town ** under his command has been training in the territory of the Chinese Empire and has not participated in any war.

When they were almost finished, they were sent by the Son of Heaven of the Chinese Empire to the territory of the Eastern Roman Byzantine Empire.

Zhen**'s only merit was to help the Eastern Roman Byzantine Empire conquer the enemy everywhere, but this did not mean that the people and officials of the Chinese Empire would agree with them.

After all, in the eyes of the people and officials of the Chinese Empire, although your town ** was hired by the Eastern Roman Byzantine Empire, you can't be so serious about fighting for the Eastern Roman Byzantine Empire! Isn't that the same as helping your potential enemies?

Most of the officials and people in the Chinese Empire had an idea in their hearts that there would be a war between the Eastern Roman Byzantine Empire and the Chinese Empire in the future.

However, only the various ministries and military departments who really fought in the army and understood the purpose of the Zhenguo general Lin An to come to the Eastern Roman Byzantine Empire, as well as Gao Yang Yajun, the Holy Son of Heaven of the Chinese Empire, knew.

To know the opponent's true combat strength and combat methods, it is necessary to fight seriously in order to become familiar with the opponent's combat methods and formations.

Of course, the two co-emperors of the Eastern Roman Byzantine Empire, Leo and Constantine, and even Princess Anastasia of the Eastern Roman Byzantine Empire, could not have known the purpose of the Chinese Empire.

Leo. Macedonia looked at Lin An seriously and said: "Lin, you know my current situation, we should unite, only when I am crowned emperor of the Roman Empire, you will have a chance to leave Rome."

Father and Constantine will never let you go, so help me! Now let's rescue Anastasia together. ”

Lin An frowned and shook his head: "To help you become the emperor of the Roman Empire, I have to think about this matter, but I can promise you that we will rescue Her Royal Highness Princess Anastasia together first." ”

Leo originally saw Lin An shaking his head, and he was no longer hopeful in his heart, but when he heard that Lin An was willing to bring Anantasia out with him first, Leo had a glimmer of hope in his heart.

After all, in order to rescue Princess Antasia, it is necessary to offend Leo's brother and co-rule Emperor Constantine.

Leo thinks that after Lin An offends Constantine, he will eventually become a passive person in his camp.

Leo nodded and smiled, "Okay, in that case, then let's rescue Anastasia first!" ”
