Chapter 317: The two with solemn expressions
After all, Basil. Macedonia, who single-handedly created the rise of the Byzantine Empire in Eastern Rome, knew why a country would go to war.
Either they are launching a war to alleviate domestic contradictions, or they have already stabilized the rear, so they can start a war with impunity.
Emperor Basil of the Byzantine Empire of Eastern Rome. Macedonia believed that the Chinese Empire was more inclined to the latter.
It is a pity that until now the Eastern Roman Byzantine Empire was among the Byzantine Empire, except for Emperor Basil. Except for Macedonia and some of the missionaries who had been to the Chinese Empire, no one knew what was going on in the Chinese Empire today.
However, those missionaries who had been to the Chinese Empire, after they returned from the Chinese Empire, they had almost been brainwashed. If they hadn't been brainwashed, the Huaxia Empire wouldn't have let them back so easily.
Even when the Orthodox missionaries of the Eastern Roman Byzantine Empire planned to return to China, the Holy Son of Heaven of the Chinese Empire also sent Jinyi Wei to secretly follow them to the Eastern Roman Byzantine Empire.
This group of Jinyi guards is to monitor whether this group of missionaries of the Eastern Roman Byzantine Empire will leak the situation of the Huaxia Empire, and if they do, they will be killed mercilessly.
Of course, in addition to missionaries, there were also some people in the Eastern Roman Byzantine Empire who had been to the Chinese Empire, and these people were merchants of the Eastern Roman Byzantine Empire.
Unfortunately, these merchants could only go to Meijing, the imperial capital of the Chinese Empire, so they could not learn about the development of other states in the Chinese Empire.
It's funny to say, the Chinese Empire originally only planned to hide the domestic situation for a year or two, but after more than two years, the Eastern Roman Byzantine Empire has not yet discovered that all the states and counties of the Chinese Empire are developing rapidly, which the Chinese Empire Imperial Court did not expect.
It's easy to say about this matter, in the past two years, the emperor of the Byzantine Empire of Eastern Rome. Macedonia became more and more mentally abnormal, and the Eastern Roman Byzantine Empire was shrouded in Basil. The shadow of Macedonia's ruthless murderous thirst.
The Eastern Roman Byzantine Empire did not have much time to understand the changes in the Chinese Empire, after all, the governors, generals and nobles in the Eastern Roman Byzantine Empire were now all in danger and were cautious in doing things for others. Macedonia pulled out his eyes after castration.
Even the two co-emperors of the Eastern Roman Byzantine Empire, Constantine and Leo, did not dare to be too aggressive, because they were afraid of being suspicious of their fathers.
Leo. Macedonia and Constantine. Macedonia, the two of them only dared to secretly contact some people for the throne.
And because of Leo. Macedonia and Constantine. Macedonia has its own ghosts, so the two of them don't have time to learn about the Chinese Empire.
Compared with the throne of the Eastern Roman Byzantine Empire, the affairs of the Chinese Empire must be more important than the throne of the Eastern Roman Byzantine Empire.
It was also the Emperor Basil of the Byzantine Empire of Eastern Rome. One of the reasons why Macedonia sighed helplessly was because Constantine. Macedonia and Leo. Macedonia really didn't see it, especially Constantine. Macedonia.
Leo. Macedonia at least knew that the Chinese Empire would one day become an enemy of the Eastern Roman Byzantine Empire, and Constantine. Macedonia did not think about these things at all.
It's just that neither of them thought that their father would actually plan to go to war with the Huaxia Empire right now, and they didn't care why they did it. Newcastle
Emperor Basil of the Byzantine Empire of Eastern Rome. Macedonia asked lightly, "Do you know why I want to go to war against the Huaxia Empire?" ”
Hear Basil. The Macedonian Question, by Constantine. Macedonia and Leo. The Macedonians had countless puzzles in their hearts, but they still shook their heads honestly.
Especially Constantine. Macedonia, he heard Basil. Macedonia asked him to lead his troops into battle, and his face became more and more gloomy. Macedonia sent itself to death.
Constantine. Macedonia naturally knew that his body was not able to lead troops to fight at all, but Basil. Macedonia actually wanted him to lead his troops to attack the Chinese Empire, so Constantine. Macedonia thinks Basil. Macedonia wants to give the throne to Leo. Macedonia.
Constantine thought that Basil. Macedonia should know their own physical condition, but Basil. Macedonia actually asked him to fight, wasn't it just for Leo. Does Macedonia, a strong man, have a chance to inherit the throne?
And Leo. Macedonia doesn't think so, Leo. Macedonia did not believe that his father would break the alliance and declare war on his former allies in order to give himself a chance to inherit the throne. Leo. Macedonia thinks there must be something hidden in this.
Basil. Macedonia looked at Constantine. Macedonia and Leo. Macedon's eyes, he was really helpless in his heart, he found Constantine. Macedonia was moving farther and farther from the throne of the Eastern Roman Byzantine Empire.
The current Constantine is a jealous man in Basil's eyes, but it is Leo who surprises Basil. Macedonia, Leo. Macedonia's eyes were very similar to those of Basil.
It's just Leo. Macedonia is better than Basil in the year. Macedonia is less insidious and unscrupulous, Leo. Although Macedonia was ambitious, Leo. Macedonia in Basil. Macedonia still seems to have a trace of integrity that a monarch should not have.
If the Eastern Roman Byzantine Empire had not threatened the Chinese Empire, Leo. Macedonia can say that this integrity was very beneficial to the Eastern Roman Byzantine Empire.
If the Eastern Roman Byzantine Empire had an upright king, it would have been possible to make a country peaceful for a long time when there were no very threatening enemies around.
But if there is a strong enemy, then this integrity will only become a reminder that can destroy the country at any time.
Basil. Macedonia's enemies in the first half of its life were the Arab Abbasids, but although the Arab Abbasids are still strong today, the Arab Abbasids are gradually falling apart.
But the Chinese Empire is different, and the Chinese Empire is gradually becoming rich and powerful. Macedonia knew that its enemy in the second half of its life was the young country of the Chinese Empire.
Basil. Macedonia looked at his two sons with uncertain expressions and said lightly: "Constantine, Leo, I know that you are very confused about why I want to attack the Huaxia Empire.
I'll tell you! Not long ago, the Chinese Empire had sent troops to attack the various countries north of them.
It won't be long before the Chinese Empire will be able to completely conquer the northern states. At that time, the eyes of the Chinese Empire will look to the south. ”
Hear Basil. Macedon's words, the two co-emperors of the Eastern Roman Byzantine Empire, Constantine and Leo, were stunned for a moment, and then suddenly looked at Basil. Macedonia, the two of them looked solemn.
Constantine and Leo didn't react at first, but after a while the two of them reacted and knew why. Macedonia was to go to war with the Chinese Empire.
