Chapter 340: Senate Debate

"No, no, no......." Liu Bei waved his hand for a while. Although he really wants to show his face abroad, he also knows his own weight. If it's in China, it's all easy to say. Then he must be chattering non-stop. But abroad, he doesn't understand anything. It's not showing your face, it's showing your stupidity.

"Master Hou is the dictator of this mission, and he doesn't dare to focus on beauty." He hurriedly said respectfully, looking at the back of Qin Feng in the distance, he sighed.

So, Conrad was in front and led Qin Feng and his party to the high ground next to the Palace Mountain, which was the Elder Mountain where the Senate was located.

On the way, Cao Cao asked in particular: "Zijin, how are you going to tell the Romans about the East?" ”

Yuan Shaotou Avenue: "If you don't talk about it well, it will damage the national body." ”

Qin Feng would never do anything that was detrimental to the national body, he pondered for a while, and said: "Ben Hou already has a plan, and he will definitely not let the Romans underestimate us in the East." ”

As he spoke, he came to the Senate.

The attendants opened the magnificent door, and when Qin Feng and the others walked in, they saw the circular staircase chamber with Roman characteristics.

Cao Yuan Liu felt very surprised.

The Senate of this period had similar powers to the Congress of the Great Elders and the United States in later generations, and had the right to check and balance the emperor. Originally, there were about a hundred senators in the Senate, all of whom were heads of the major families of Rome. Later, as the Roman Empire expanded, there were more characters and more senators.

By now, there are about 300 of them.

Despite the increase in the number of people, the power has not been diluted, but has increased, which comes from the gradual expansion of the territory and population of the Roman Empire.

The applause rang out, although there were no words, but they also saw the importance that the Roman elders attached to Qin Feng.

The First Patriarch, Marcy Antonique, couldn't wait any longer, and he said to the others, "It's finally here. ”

Veteran Crassus Heaney, a probe probes his brain. "These are the people from the country where silk grows on the tree."

The patriarch, Tiberius Gracchus, exclaimed: "These men have the color of the hair of the Africans, and the skin of the Kushans ....... ”

Westerners from the second century came in a wave of criticism of the Easterners.

Qin Feng is like the great leader who came to the old American Capitol in later generations. Got a warm reception. Cao Yuan Liu was placed in the distinguished seat of the next step of Emperor Conrad, they did not understand Roman, and they could only laugh awkwardly as the people around them kept talking to them.

However, Cao Yuan Liu came here. It was also an eye-opener. If they were still in the Central Plains, they would be able to see everything that has been done so far. Eye-opening is conducive to the unrestrained thinking and future development of their minds.

After everything was arranged, Conrad waved his hand and motioned for the elders to be quiet, and then he said, "Your Excellency Champion Hou, the elders have also known each other. He was the first Oriental to reach Rome, which is historical, which illustrates. Our great Rome has been connected to the whole world. ”

The only thing that could connect the whole world was Rome, and the senators applauded fiercely, all with emotion, and their faces were full of Roman glory.

Even Qin Feng had to admire Rome at this moment, at this moment, it had indeed made contact with the civilizations of the world. Of course, some primitive civilizations are not among them, but real civilizations.

Cao Yuan and Liu looked at each other. I don't know why the Romans were so excited. They also saw another way of expressing themselves, which was applause.

Cao Cao, who was applauding, said: "If it is with us, it is estimated that you will kneel." ”

Yuan Shao said: "It's really a peculiar imperial court. ”

Liu Bei did not express his opinion.

After the applause was over, Conrad said again. "Today, let His Excellency Hou, the champion from the East, explain to us the humanities of the East."

The patriarchs' eyes lit up when they heard this, and they all looked at Qin Feng.

Qin Feng looked at the look in his eyes, the beast, and he. It is clear that it is the prey. This is the beast listening to the reality of the prey, Qin Feng's heart moved, and he said that if you want to understand the specific human geography from me, it is impossible, so I will tell you about history.

At this time, the patriarch Severus said: "Your Excellency Champion Hou, please." As he spoke, he gestured to the podium at the bottom of the circular staircase.

Qin Fengxin can say it, this kind of podium in the West is inherited from you, including the great old beauty of later generations.

When he stood on the podium, more than 300 elders all looked at him with great interest. Cao Yuan Liu looked at it from afar and gave Qin Feng an encouraging look, "You can't embarrass us Huaxia." ”

Although the Roman senators seemed to be kind-hearted, they were all slave owners who ate people and did not spit out bones, and they were very vicious and vicious in their bones. Although Qin Feng was targeted by these more than 300 people, he had no stage fright.

He cleared his throat and began his life, the first foreign speech.

Thus, for the first time, a majestic voice from the East echoed in the Roman Senate.

"Located in the East, Huaxia is a unified multi-ethnic country with Chinese civilization as the main body, Chinese culture as the foundation, and Han nationality as the main ethnic group. Huaxia generally calls themselves the descendants of the dragon and the descendants of Yan and Huang. ”

As soon as Qin Feng's first sentence fell, an elder opposite him raised his hand.

Qin Fengzhi was like a great leader, with the bearing of Huaxia, so he stretched out his hand and signaled: "This elder, what do you have to ask?" ”

The senator estimated that he had just entered the Senate and was speaking in parliament for the first time. He asked in a trembling voice, "Your Excellency Honorable Champion, why does your kingdom claim to be the descendant of the evil dragon?" ”

Qin Feng's eyebrows jumped for a while, and he suddenly thought that something like a dragon was in the neutral camp in the best case in the West, and it was generally the head of the evil camp. Western dragons like to rob the princesses of Western countries, and they also like to rob Western countries for money.

The Chinese dragon is fundamentally different from the Western demon Dragon, and later some missionaries translated the Chinese dragon as Dragon, which led to the demonization of the Chinese image in Europe and the United States.

The patriarchs all looked at each other suspiciously.

Qin Feng naturally couldn't let these Westerners think that the East was the descendant of the evil dragon, so he said, "This elder, let me explain what a dragon is. The dragon is the auspicious rui of our Chinese mythological era. It has a body with horns like a deer, a head like a cow, a mouth like a donkey, eyes like a shrimp, ears like an elephant, scales like a fish, whiskers like a human, a belly like a snake, and feet like a phoenix. It represents virtues such as fearlessness, justice, justice, strength, and so on. ”

"And your dragons in the West are not actually dragons."

"Not a dragon?" The senators were shocked, and the senator who asked the question hurriedly said, "What is that?" ”

Qin Feng smiled slightly, and immediately said seriously: "It's a lizard." ”

"Lizards?"

"It can't be!"

"The lizard doesn't look like that." The patriarchs were talking.

"Your Excellency Hou, the champion of the East. You're deceiving us. First Senator Marcy Antonik said angrily.

At this point, a speech has become a debate again.

"Mom, I just don't want my master to go home well." He added, "Benhou has not deceived you. ”

First Patriarch Marcy Antonique. Immediately retorted: "Then how do you tell me how the lizard became a huge, evil, winged, fire-breathing dragon?" ”

Qin Feng spread his hands and said freely: "This is too simple, mutation." ”

"What? Mutated? Oops~. The old First Senator, Marcy Antonique, could not hold it anymore, clutched his chest, and collapsed back into his seat.

The other patriarchs were also shocked.

Emperor Conrad was the son of Hercules. He was very interested in the myth and immediately asked, "Your Excellency, how did it come to life?" ”

Qin Feng was very helpless, because no matter where he went, as long as he talked about new things, everyone around him, regardless of identity, would become a hundred thousand why babies.

He could only continue to answer the question, "Do you need to talk about this?" I've got demonic power~. ”

Conrad and the elders immediately showed a sudden realization. "That's right, I see!"

Cao Yuan Liu really didn't know what Qin Feng was talking to the Romans, but seeing that he had been controlling the emotions of the Romans, he couldn't help but give a thumbs up.

Qin Feng patted the table in front of him and said, "So, you can't say that it is a dragon when you see a lizard with wings, it should be called a mutant lizard." In the future, Dragon (dragon), the explanation is that it is a mutant lizard, understand? ”

The patriarchs nodded their heads with chickens eating rice. Or the patriarch who asked the question at the beginning, trembled: "Then how should you spell the dragon?" ”

Qin Feng immediately said, "L, o, o, n, g, Loong, understand?" ”

The patriarchs were shocked. They never expected that Qin Feng would be able to say the new spelling immediately. You can't do it without being a great linguist.

So, Qin Feng shocked the Roman Senate with the spelling of the dragon of the later generations. This made the elders have to look at Qin Feng with admiration.

After Qin Feng settled this matter. That's how we can go on.

"Our China has a long history. It is said that about 3,000 years ago, settlement organizations began to appear in the Central Plains, and then became countries and dynasties. The territory of China is vast, from the Yellow River region in the Xia, Shang and Zhou dynasties, and gradually expanded to the legal territory of the mainland today. ”

"The Chinese population and ethnic groups are numerous, and the Chinese people in the pre-Qin period multiplied in the Yellow River valley and exchanged with various surrounding ethnic groups. Now, 400 years later, China's various ethnic groups have further integrated and gradually formed a unified multi-ethnic state. And the population is also rising, with a population of more than 60 million ....... ”

When Qin Feng said this, he was actually uncomfortable in his heart, because of the current decline of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Huaxia could no longer match what he said. However, because of this, he has to fight even more. One day, he will let Huaxia match these, far beyond these.

He also said: "Chinese culture is broad and profound, brilliant and colorful, occupies an important position in the world cultural system, and there is also a colorful folk culture, traditional art forms include poetry, calligraphy and Chinese painting, etc., and the Spring Festival, Lantern Festival, Qingming Festival, Dragon Boat Festival, Mid-Autumn Festival, Chongyang Festival, etc. are important traditional festivals in China!" ”

"There are four ancient civilizations in the world...... so I won't go into details." He continued.

At this time, the patriarch Severus couldn't sit still, his whole body was full of Roman glory, and he didn't want to hear Qin Feng "brag" about how powerful the Chinese civilization was. He got up and said, "Your Excellency Champion Hou, you wait for a while. ”

Qin Feng looked over and said, "I wonder if Elder Severus has anything to say?" ”

Severus exuded the glory of Rome and said, "Your Excellency just mentioned the four ancient civilizations, I don't know which four?" ”

The patriarchs immediately came to the spirit, and said that there must be Rome in this, and it is estimated that there is no Huaxia, if not, this person will definitely say it when he introduces Huaxia. They felt that they were still the wise elders of Severus, and they keenly grasped a node in Qin Feng's words.

The patriarchs thought to themselves, no matter how well you say about China, if it is not in these four civilizations, it will not be as good as our great Rome. The patriarchs who were full of Roman glory were also competing, and they urged Qin Feng to quickly say which of the four major civilizations were. (To be continued.) )
