But what did the Eastern Roman Byzantine Empire do?

The Eastern Roman Byzantine Empire learned of the Chinese Empire's actions towards the Kingdom of Bulgaria.

They also planned to Romanize the Kingdom of Bulgaria, after all, the Orthodox Church began to degenerate, or rather indigenize, when it entered the Kingdom of Bulgaria.

The Patriarch of the Eastern Roman Byzantine Empire had no control over the Orthodox Church of the Kingdom of Bulgaria, which was governed by the Bulgarian Church itself.

The Patriarch of the Eastern Roman Byzantine Empire had long been reluctant to see such a thing, if the Kingdom of Bulgaria was far away from Constantinople, the capital of the Eastern Roman Byzantine Empire.

Then the Patriarch had to let the locals establish their own local churches and govern them.

For example, Orthodox Christians in the Arab region are governed by the local church, even in Antioch.

After all, those places are still a little far away from Constantinople, but the Kingdom of Bulgaria is different, and the Kingdom of Bulgaria is the north of Constantinople!

The fact that the Kingdom of Bulgaria dared to establish its own native church at such a close distance made the Patriarch of the Eastern Roman Byzantine Empire very dissatisfied.

But not satisfied, the Eastern Roman Byzantine Empire was not good at attacking the Bulgarian kingdom under the pretext of establishing its own native church.

After all, the Patriarch of Constantinople of the Eastern Roman Byzantine Empire could not influence the Eastern Roman Byzantine Emperor Basil. Macedonian thoughts.

Basil. Macedonia has no interest in attacking the Kingdom of Bulgaria, Basil. Macedonia was busy attacking the Italian peninsula.

It is because now, when the patriarch of the Eastern Roman Byzantine Empire learns that the Chinese Empire is infiltrating the Bulgarian kingdom.

The Patriarchate of the Eastern Roman Byzantine Empire discovered a new way, and that was the missionary method of the Chinese Empire.

Most of the time, the missionary work of the Chinese Empire first infiltrated and then gradually eroded the local religion, so that the culture and religion of the local people gradually converged with that of the Chinese Empire.

Of course, the Church of the Eastern Roman Byzantine Empire did not fully understand and recognize the horrors of the Chinese Empire.

The Church of the Eastern Roman Byzantine Empire only allowed the Church to influence the local area, and caused the local Orthodox people to pay taxes for the Patriarchate.

It can be said that the purposes of the patriarch of the Eastern Roman Byzantine Empire and the national teacher of the Chinese Empire, Song Jue, are completely different things.

To put it bluntly, the patriarch of the Eastern Roman Byzantine Empire was just for profit.

However, Song Jue, the national teacher of the Chinese Empire, was in order to promote and spread the culture of the Chinese Empire, or some religions in Chinese culture.

Of course, it can't be said that Song Jue is completely selfish, after all, Song Jue did this with the participation of the Chinese Imperial Court.

As we all know, as long as the imperial court participates in anything, it will definitely not be selfless, and the imperial court of the Chinese Empire is not a charity.

Of course, although the Chinese Empire preached in the northern part of the Kingdom of Bulgaria, the Chinese Empire still tried to give the Bulgarian king some benefits.

However, the Eastern Roman Byzantine Empire was different, and the Patriarch of the Eastern Roman Byzantine Empire came to the Kingdom of Bulgaria at the invitation of the Kingdom of Bulgaria.

But the Patriarch of the Eastern Roman Byzantine Empire did even more than the Chinese Empire.

At least the Chinese Empire's promotion of the Kingdom of Bulgaria to the outside world was a civil matter, and the imperial court would not interfere too much.

The Chinese Empire did not influence the officials of the Kingdom of Bulgaria or the local lords, at least not overtly.

But what about the Patriarch of the Eastern Roman Byzantine Empire? The Patriarchate of the Eastern Roman Byzantine Empire entered the Kingdom of Bulgaria in the name of justice.

Later, the Patriarchate of the Eastern Roman Byzantine Empire began to preach in enclosures, although the Patriarchate was also using food relief to win over the people of the Kingdom of Bulgaria.

However, in addition to helping the common people, the patriarchate of the Eastern Roman Byzantine Empire also set up bishops and tax collection departments in the southern part of the Bulgarian kingdom.

And the people in this department are actually the nobles of the Bulgarian Kingdom, which makes the Bulgarian Kingdom look at the Eastern Roman Byzantine Empire.

No matter how much the northern Chinese Empire is, it will not come to the Kingdom of Bulgaria to collect taxes!

The Bulgarian king believed that he had to hold the Byzantine Emperor of Eastern Rome accountable for this.

But when the king of Bulgaria was against the Byzantine Emperor of the Eastern Roman Empire, Basil. After Macedonia explained this, the Eastern Roman Byzantine Emperor Basil. Macedonia excused himself on the grounds that he could not manage the church.

Emperor Basil of the Byzantine Empire of Eastern Rome. Macedonia asked the Bulgarian king to go to the Patriarch of Constantine for an explanation.

But when the Patriarch of Constantine of the Eastern Roman Byzantine Empire was found, the Patriarch said that it was the Eastern Roman Byzantine Emperor Basil. Macedonia nodded in approval.

To put it bluntly, the Eastern Roman Byzantine Empire did not pay any attention to the Bulgarian king at all.

The Bulgarian king was angry in his heart, but he was helpless against the Eastern Roman Byzantine Empire, after all, the Eastern Roman Byzantine Empire was allied with the Chinese Empire and the Khazar Khanate.

If the Bulgarian Kingdom wants to make a move against the Eastern Roman Byzantine Empire, I am afraid that the Bulgarian Kingdom will be divided between the Chinese Empire and the Eastern Roman Byzantine Empire.

But now that the Eastern Roman Byzantine Empire has actually let the Bulgarian Kingdom attack the Chinese Empire, how can the envoy of the Bulgarian Kingdom in the Eastern Roman Byzantine Empire agree.

The envoy of the Kingdom of Bulgaria is not stupid, the two big countries are facing each other, what does this have to do with the Kingdom of Bulgaria, the envoy of the Kingdom of Bulgaria can't intervene.

Even the envoy of the Kingdom of Bulgaria had an idea in his heart what if the Kingdom of Bulgaria united with the Chinese Empire against the Eastern Roman Byzantine Empire.

Although in the hearts of the envoys of the Kingdom of Bulgaria, the Chinese Empire and the Eastern Roman Byzantine Empire, the two major empires of the north and south, were not the same thing.

But at least the Chinese Empire was not as strong and excessive as the Eastern Roman Byzantine Empire, and the Chinese Empire was still relatively moral in the hearts of the Bulgarian Kingdom, and the Chinese Empire was not as strong as the Eastern Roman Byzantine Empire in the eyes of the Bulgarian Kingdom.

In fact, this is only because the Chinese Empire is now placing the route of expansion in the north, and the Chinese Empire does not want the Bulgarian Kingdom to stab in the back.

But what the Chinese Empire didn't expect was that the Bulgarian Kingdom had not yet decided whether to stab the knife, but the Eastern Roman Byzantine Empire, a close ally of the Chinese Empire, actually took the initiative to stab the knife.

The envoy of the Kingdom of Bulgaria did not immediately reply to the princess of the Byzantine Empire in the Eastern Roman Empire, Anantasia, he saluted and said: "Your Royal Highness, I don't know if you can give me a little time, this matter is too important, I will tell the king first!"

When the King's attitude is settled, I will definitely inform Her Royal Highness the Princess immediately. "Reading a book and finding the latest chapters by yourself? You're out, WeChat attention Beauty editor helps you find books! It's really a good book to flirt with girls!
