Chapter 315: The Only Way Out for the Co-ruling Emperor (Part II)
Leo. This idea of Macedonia was indeed correct. Macedonia intended to be mutually beneficial with the Chinese Empire, so it agreed to form an alliance with the Chinese Empire, in fact, when the Eastern Roman Byzantine Empire and the Chinese Empire formed an alliance, the Eastern Roman Byzantine Empire and the Chinese Empire did benefit each other.
After all, since the alliance between the Chinese Empire and the Eastern Roman Byzantine Empire, the merchants of the Chinese Empire gritted their teeth and went to North Africa and West Asia through the Eastern Roman Byzantine Empire, which made the Chinese Empire gradually famous in North Africa and West Asia.
And because the people of the Huaxia Empire learned that the merchants supported by the imperial court had explored some kingdoms, the world they gradually understood was indeed what the Holy Son of Heaven Gao Yang Yajun described, and His Majesty the Holy Son of Heaven was not wrong.
It can be said that after the alliance between the Chinese Empire and the Eastern Roman Byzantine Empire, the merchants of the Chinese Empire explored everywhere to understand whether the world was as described by the Holy Emperor of the Chinese Empire.
When they explored, they found that the world was indeed as described by Gao Yang Yajun, the Holy Son of Heaven of the Chinese Empire, which made Gao Yang Yajun, the Holy Son of the Chinese Empire, gradually become somewhat divine.
Of course, in fact, the Chinese Empire was not the first country to explore the known world, and the first country to explore the known world was the Kingdom of Poland, a subordinate state of the Chinese Empire.
It's just that the exploration of the Kingdom of Poland is different from the exploration of the Chinese Empire, and the exploration of the world by the Kingdom of Poland is only from the fanatical disciples of the Confucian Academy founded by Yin Lankang, Jingzhao Prefecture, Poland.
They explore the world only to disseminate the scholarship of the Confucian Academy, so their exploration is carried with a kind of concealment.
The exploration of the merchants of the Chinese Empire is deliberately to let the people understand how big the real world is, and even the country where the merchants arrived, and the Chinese Empire will record these things in the history books.
So that future generations will not sit in the well and watch the sky, and will not be ignorant of the world.
The most important thing is that the Chinese Empire spread its special culture and costumes to North Africa and West Asia.
The Chinese Empire does not know that agriculture is developed, and the handicraft industry of the Chinese Empire is also very good, of course, the handicraft industry of the Chinese Empire is definitely not as good as the Tang Dynasty in the East.
After all, the handicraft industry of the Tang Dynasty has only developed for several years after thousands of years, and the current Chinese Empire has only had a few years of development.
Of course, the Chinese Empire has a characteristic, the Chinese Empire likes to use some of the cultures of the Eastern Roman Byzantine Empire and some cultural craftsmen of the Arab Abbasid Empire.
And these are still legally obtained, the cultural craftsmen of the Eastern Roman Byzantine Empire were lured by the Chinese Empire, and the cultural craftsmen of the Arab Abbasid Empire were sent by the Chinese Empire to learn.
Among the imperial palaces of the Eastern Roman Byzantine Empire, Basil. Macedonia looked at the two co-emperors in front of him, and at his two sons, Leo and Constantine, in front of him.
Basil. Macedonia is really disappointed and most so Basil. Macedonia's disappointment was his eldest son, Constantine. Macedonia.
Basil. Macedonia really couldn't figure out that the eldest son Constantine, who was heroic at the beginning. Macedonia has become what it is now.
Think back then Constantine. How much Macedonia fits Basil. The standard of the Macedonian heir, but now Constantine. Macedonia has become like this.
Today's Constantine. Macedonia and Leo. Macedonia is just an heir with the appearance of a man.
If there was no Chinese Empire, either of the two heirs of the Eastern Roman Byzantine Empire would have been able to maintain the glory of the Eastern Roman Byzantine Empire.
And with the Chinese Empire, then the two heirs of the Eastern Roman Byzantine Empire are really Basil. Macedonia was somewhat dissatisfied.
After all, Leo. Macedonia and Constantine. Macedonia is many years older than Gao Yang Yajun, the Holy Son of Heaven of the Chinese Empire.
And the Holy Son of Heaven of the Chinese Empire, Gao Yang Yajun, is only ten ** years old now, if there is no accident, I am afraid that it will wait until the emperor of the Eastern Roman Byzantine Empire. Macedonia died, and then Constantine. Macedonia or Leo. Macedonia succeeded to the throne and then slowly grew old and died.
I'm afraid that Gao Yang Yajun, the Holy Son of Heaven of the Chinese Empire, is still alive in the world, after all, the age of Gao Yang Yajun, the Holy Son of the Chinese Empire, is an advantage!
If Gao Yang Yajun is an ordinary monarch, then it would be fine, but Gao Yang Yajun is still an ambitious monarch with ideas and achievements.
Basil. Macedonia knew that even when he was young, he might not be able to compare to Gao Yang Yajun, the Holy Son of Heaven of the Chinese Empire.
After all, when he was Gao Yang Yajun's age, he was still an ordinary petty official in the Eastern Roman Byzantine Empire, and Gao Yang Yajun had already destroyed many kingdoms.
Of course, this is also because Gao Yang Yajun was born high, and Gao Yang Yajun, the holy son of the Chinese Empire, was the only daughter of the first emperor, and Gao Yang Yajun was assisted by a group of loyal ministers.
In fact, Basil. When Macedonia didn't see Gao Yang Yajun, he always thought that the emperor of the Chinese Empire should be assisted by virtuous ministers, so Gao Yang Yajun could get all that.
And when the three emperors of the Khazar Khanate, the Chinese Empire, and the Eastern Roman Byzantine Empire met, Basil. Macedonia found himself wrong, and the emperor of the Chinese Empire could indeed be called a generation of heroes.
So the emperor of the Eastern Roman Byzantine Empire, Basil. Macedonia believes that now is the only chance to stop the Chinese Empire.
If this prevents the Chinese Empire from succeeding, then even if the Eastern Roman Byzantine Empire dies by itself in the future, I am afraid that the Eastern Roman Byzantine Empire will exist for a long time.
And if this war is lost, then the rise of the Chinese Empire will be unstoppable, the Chinese Empire will definitely dominate Europa, and even the Eastern Roman Byzantine Empire will be destroyed by the Chinese Empire.
At that time, Basil. Macedonia can't wait anymore, he can't wait, Basil. Macedonia is now seventy years old, and he himself does not know how long he will live.
Basil. Macedonia hoped to be able to stop the rapid rise of the Chinese Empire in his lifetime. Macedonia knew that it could not completely prevent the rise of the Chinese Empire.
Just Basil. Macedonia hoped that the rise of the Chinese Empire would be slower, so that the Eastern Roman Byzantine Empire would survive for another century or two.
Emperor Basil of the Byzantine Empire of Eastern Rome. Macedonia stared helplessly at his two children, Basil. Macedonia looked at the two children and said, "Constantine, Leo, I know that you two brothers no longer have a brotherhood.
