"Your Majesty, running through the Suez Canal can greatly shorten the distance between the Han and Rome, which is conducive to the communication between the Han and Rome, and the two countries are beneficial and harmless!" Meet Marcus. Aurelius pondered, and Fugui hurriedly stepped forward to lobby.

"Yes, father, once the Suez Canal is opened, our communication with the Han will be greatly strengthened, which is very beneficial to our empire!" Commodus also stepped forward to persuade him.

Benefits of Suez Penetration, Marcus. Aurelius is quite clear. But the problem is, Marcus. Aurelius was well aware of the amount of effort it would take to keep a canal open in the desert. So, he's kind of a drummer on the drum.

"Viscount Fugui, I am also very willing to do the matter of connecting the canal. However, the Suez Canal, located in the middle of the desert, is very laborious to dredge and maintain. Moreover, this canal is not directly under the jurisdiction of our Rome, it is our subject country Greece. If we force Greece to do this, it will make him resentful. ”

"Your Majesty, although the Suez Canal is now blocked by wind and sand, it will not be so serious. After all, this canal, which was still in use not long ago, has not been abandoned for a few years, and it does not take much effort to dredge it. As for the maintenance in the future, although it takes a little effort, but in terms of the benefits it brings, it is simply insignificant. ”

"Yes, Father." In order to get the exclusive agent of fairy powder, Commodus really worked hard, "Whether it is dredge or maintenance, it is a matter of consuming some slaves." Like our empire, do you still care about this little slave? Compared to the benefits brought by the canal, this slave is really insignificant. As for Egypt, the canal is within its borders, once it is opened. When the merchant ships of the Han Dynasty arrived within their borders, they could still benefit less. So, it's a thing that is good for several of us. ”

Listening to the two of them, Marcus. Aurelius felt that it made sense, and he lit a spiced cigar that Commodus had offered him, and sat down on his throne, thinking carefully about the merits of the matter.

Meet Marcus. Aurelius was sipping on his spiced cigar, and he almost jumped up in excitement. You know, he was still thinking about how to give Marcus . Aurelius sells this fairy powder. Unexpectedly, Commodus had already helped him complete this task.

Enjoy the intense pleasure brought by white powder. Marcus. Aurelius finally made up his mind, "Okay, I've agreed, and I'll open the Suez Canal again." But Viscount Fugui, I hope you can communicate with your majesty. Let's see if we can sell our empire a cure for the plague. ”

"Yes, Your Majesty. This thing. I will report back to your majesty. ”

Rich in Rome and Marcus. Aurelius discussed the specifics of the Suez Canal connection. At this time, the Han Dynasty was full of lights to celebrate the birth of princes and princesses.

As soon as she was pregnant in October, she gave birth, and Ding Luoli and Zhang Mei and Zou Ju are all born now. Among them, Ding Luoli and Zhang Mei all gave birth to a big fat boy for Liu Hong. And Zou Ju simply gave birth to a pair of dragon and phoenix fetuses, and all sons and daughters were born.

At once, so many children were born. is a prince and a princess, but the Empress Dowager Dong is very happy. Staying by those children's side all day long, hugging this, hugging that, not being idle for a moment.

Liu Hong is not only happy now, but also worried. After all, it is not an easy task for so many children to come up with a name. Even if he had already made up his mind to name his child after the emperor of later generations. But the problem is that he is not a student of history, how can he know all about so many emperors in later generations. Moreover, the Han Dynasty was valued by a single name, and the emperors of later generations were not so particular, most of them were double names, which increased the difficulty of naming.

"Sima Yan of the Jin Dynasty seems to have reigned for more than twenty years, why don't you use his name?" Thinking of this, Liu Hong shook his head, "No, although this guy has been in power for a long time, it seems that he doesn't have much time to live, and he died in his fifties." ”

Denied this Sima Yi's grandson, Sima Zhao's son, Liu Hong thought of another name with the same sound as the word Yan, Xiao Yan, Emperor Wu of Liang in the Southern Dynasty.

"Just use this guy's name, he lived to be eighty-one years old, and he reigned for forty-eight years and nearly fifty years, this name is definitely auspicious!" Thinking of this, Liu Hong named him and Ding Luoli's son Liu Yan, "What are the names of the other sons, it seems that the emperor who can live for such a long time and reign for such a long time is really gone?!" ”

Liu Hong pondered for a long time, the emperors he knew really didn't have anything to compare with this Xiao Yan. Not only is no one comparable to him, but there is not even anyone who is slightly worse than him.

"Alas, it is difficult to have both good fortune and longevity, this is difficult to avoid, I will try to choose the best among those emperors!" Thinking of this, Liu Hong began to think about those emperors of later generations, "I am not very familiar with the Tang Dynasty, and the emperors who can remember a single name are Li Yuan, Li Zhi and Li Dan." ”

But these three, Liu Hong really doesn't like them very much. Li Yuan let his son usurp the throne, Li Zhi let his wife usurp the throne, and Li Dan even let his fierce mother toss and ascend the throne twice.

"Forget it, the Tang Dynasty is too weird, let's go to the Song Dynasty." In fact, speaking of which, Liu Hong's understanding of the Song Dynasty is not as good as that of the Tang Dynasty, he pondered for a long time, and he felt that Song Renzong was still suitable, "Forget it, just use him." Although this guy's living age is not very old, this guy is definitely a rare Ming Jun in the Song Dynasty. In addition, he has been in power for forty-one years, which can be regarded as rare good luck! ”

After naming him and Zhang Mei's son Liu Zhen, he began to ponder the name of his fourth son.

"Okay, the Song Dynasty is over, it's time to go to the Ming Dynasty!" The ultra-nationalist Liu Hong directly gave up the Yuan Dynasty and began to count the emperors of the Ming Dynasty with his fingers, "Ma De, I have counted the emperors of the Ming Dynasty, even if I add the Nanming Dynasty, it is only a single-name emperor like Zhu Di!" ”

"Forget it, this Ming Chengzu is not bad. He lived for sixty-four years, became an emperor for twenty-two years, and was still an emperor who rebelled, this luck is excellent! Thinking of this, Liu Hong named his fourth son Liu Di.

The son's name was taken, and it was the daughter's turn. Now Liu Hong was happy, because he didn't have to worry at all, just press Wu Zetian's name for herself on his daughter's head, "Cao, literally, it is the sun and the moon in the sky, what a bold name, it's called Liu Cao!" ”

finally named his son and daughter, Liu Honggang wanted to take a breath, Qiao Xuan came to report, and the Persian prince came to Dahan again and wanted to meet him. (To be continued......)
