Constantinople (Byzantium), Grand Palace. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Empress Irina wore a laurel crown and dragged a long skirt on the smooth stone paved ground, her eyebrows furrowed, and the fingers of her left hand were a little white.

The two attendants at the door of the government hall immediately stretched out their hands to stop them, and one of them said: "Honorable Majesty the Empress, His Majesty the Emperor is handling official business, and no one is seen!" ”

Irina was furious, "I want to see my husband, do I have your permission?" I don't care about you! ”

The guard bowed his head and said, "I am duty, please don't embarrass us with Her Majesty!" ”

Constantine V, who was in the government hall, heard the voice and said in a loud voice: "Irina, come in!" ”

The two guards immediately stepped aside, bowed their heads again, and said, "Your Majesty, please!" ”

"Humph!" Irina snorted coldly, flicked her sleeves and walked into the government hall.

Forty-three-year-old Constantine V grew up tall and strong, but many years of imperial life made him look a little old, looking older than his actual age, he heard the footsteps and put down the quill, looked up at Irina with a smile, and said with a smile: "My queen, why are you here today?" ”

Irina was dissatisfied: "Hmph, now I want to see my husband with the permission of the watchdog, it seems that my wife is too annoying!" ”

Constantine V hurriedly got up and smiled: "My dear Irina, how can you say that? I have too many official duties to deal with these days, and in order to concentrate on handling government affairs, I specially let the guards stay outside, just not to be disturbed. By the way, did you come to me for something? Can't you wait until I get back at night? ”

Irina walked over with an unhappy face and said, "The Western Qin army of the Tang Kingdom is about to reach Samandar, do you think I can sit in the dormitory and win the master?" Although I have been married to you for more than twenty years and have had six children, the Khazar Khanate is my mother country after all, how can I watch her being attacked by the Tang people and ignore it? ”

"Oh? So you know about it, too! Constantine V touched his forehead and asked, "Are you here for me to order the sending of troops to reinforce the Khazar Khanate?" ”

"Yes!"

Constantine V said: "But you also know that I am deploying an attack on the Bolgars, and I do not have the extra energy and troops to help the Khazar Khanate, compared to the Tang people, the Slavs in Thrace and the Bolgars in the north are the henchmen of our Eastern Roman Empire!" ”

Irina argued: "The Slavs and the Bolgars have not provoked us now, if we provoke a dispute without permission, it will inevitably give them an excuse to invade our Eastern Roman Empire in the south, aside from the relationship between us and the Khazar Khanate, the Khazar Khanate has always been a staunch ally of our Eastern Roman Empire, our Eastern Roman Empire and the Arabs have sent heavy troops to help us during several wars, and now the Khazar Khanate is in trouble, shouldn't we lend a helping hand?" If we watch the Khazar Khanate being destroyed by the Western Qin army of the Tang State, who else will ally with us in the future? My beloved, my majesty, how can you be a king of great vision and talent? ”

Constantine V pondered for a moment and then said, "Well, Irina, I will seriously consider your suggestion, and I still need to consult with the military ministers, you can go back first!" ”

"Hmph, okay!"
