Hearing Cao Ying's words, Liu Hong pretended to be displeased and said, "Meng De thinks I am the one who covets immortality? ”

Cao Ying also held a crown ceremony in advance, and he had a table word.

As soon as he heard Liu Hong's words, Cao Ying's head began to turn rapidly, and he said secretly, "The emperor is now under twenty years old, so it is naturally impossible to covet immortality, in this case, why would the emperor ask to build a warship that crisscrosses the sea?" ”

After pondering for a long time, Cao Ying attached himself and saluted, "The minister is stupid, please make it clear to Your Majesty!" ”

Liu Hong did not answer Cao Ying's words, but said to Li Hao, who was waiting on the side, "Go and get the map of the four seas of the world!" ”

"No!"

Li Hao answered the promise and ordered someone to go down to get the map.

After a short time, several eunuchs carried a huge brocade cloth into the main hall of the dormitory.

"Open!" Liu Hong said lightly, a trace of excitement flashed in his eyes.

Several eunuchs answered the promise, and then spread the huge brocade cloth on the ground and slowly opened it.

Cao Ying was attracted by this huge map at a glance, Guishan, Nanyang, Anxi, Rome, those unheard of place names appeared in Cao Ying's sight one by one, this is the first time Cao Ying knew that there was such a vast land outside the Han Dynasty.

In the end, Cao Ying's gaze fell on the land outlined in red, where two words were written, Dahan!

Cao Ying didn't expect that in addition to the Han Dynasty, there was such a vast land outside, especially when he saw the territory of Rome, which was almost not much smaller than the Han Dynasty, a little strangeness flashed in his eyes.

This huge map is the general situation of Eurasia and Southeast Asia, some of which are well documented, and some of which Liu Hong added from memory, although Liu Hong can draw the approximate location of the Americas, but he cannot explain the source, after all, no outsiders have been there.

Immediately, Liu Hong walked down slowly, pointed to the map and said, "This is the map of the four seas of the world drawn by the envoys of the countries who entered the court in the later years of Emperor Xiaowu, but unfortunately after the death of Emperor Xiaowu, it has been put on the shelf, devoured by insects and ants, and it took me a lot of effort to redraw it." ”

Then he pointed to the Roman Empire and said, "Some time ago, someone in the Western Regions Protectorate learned the latest news from Rome, Aiqing wants to know?" ”

Cao Ying's eyes lit up and said, "Please your majesty to solve your doubts!" ”

Liu Hong smiled and said, "At this time, the monarch of Rome is named Marcus Aurello, this is a promising monarch, who is the adopted son of his previous monarch Antony, who was diligent and loved the people during his reign, and can be said to be a wise monarch. After his death, the throne was shared by his two adopted sons, Verus, and the current emperor, Marc Aurelius. ”

"Two emperors?" Cao Ying exclaimed.

Liu Hong smiled faintly and said, "That's right, Meng De can't understand the Western country with the reason of the Han Dynasty, there are three giants in Roman history, and there are similar reading powers in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, but they are still collectively referred to as Rome to the outside world." ”

"After these two men became emperors, there was an invasion of foreign enemies, and after repelling foreign enemies, a large-scale plague broke out in the country, and countless people died. In order to raise military salaries, the two of them sold the jewels in their crowns. ”

Speaking of this, Liu Hong chuckled and said, "Hehe, that's a symbol of the country!" ”

Cao Ying was silent when he heard this, such an emperor would definitely be able to resist foreign enemies, although the West may be different from the Han Dynasty, but Cao Ying believed that under the emperor's example, his military morale would be high.

Liu Hong continued, "Then King Verus fell ill and died, and Rome was restored to the situation of an emperor, and Marcus Aurello repelled a strong enemy, but I did not approve of it!" ”

Immediately, seeing Cao Ying's puzzled face, he said: "It allows strong enemies to settle on the Roman border. ”

When Cao Ying heard this, he immediately understood what Liu Hong meant, how similar this was to the previous Han! Once the northern nomads sued for peace, the Han allowed them to settle on the border, and then attacked the Han Dynasty, and Cao Ying could foresee that the Roman Empire would probably follow the old path of the Han Dynasty.

Speaking of this, Liu Hong pointed to the map and said with a smile: "Aiqing, do you understand now?" I don't think it's under the sky, that's all! ”

When Cao Ying heard this, he immediately said loudly: "I am willing to be the vanguard of His Majesty." ”

Liu Hong waved his hand and said, "There is no need to be like this, I know that Aiqing's ambition is to conquer the west of the Han Dynasty, don't worry, there will be a battle between the Han and Rome!" ”

Cao Ying took the lead in looking at Liu Hong, I don't know why Liu Hong is so confident, then he looked at the map and immediately understood.

The distance, the easternmost part of Rome and the distance between the Western Protectorate, is not far away, and there is a high probability that there will be a big war.

Liu Hong slowly walked back to the upper seat, and said solemnly, "Meng De, I want to build a fleet for me that can cross the sea, I have been in Huangxian for so long, Aiqing should know the wealth of the sea, even if I can't cross the sea, Aiqing will take a few big islands in the north and south for me!" ”

The big islands in the north and south that Liu Hong mentioned are Hainan Island, Taiwan (Ryukyu), and the four islands in the north, called Honshu.

Immediately afterwards, Liu Hong said, "I don't care if there are still huge countries in this great overseas, even if there are huge countries and come with their invincible fleets, I must use these frontier islands to defeat the invading enemy, otherwise they will step into the Central Plains of our Great Han Dynasty." ”

"No! Ministers will live up to God's grace! ”

Cao Ying said loudly.

Liu Hong knew that at this time, there was no enemy on the sea who could argue with the Han, but if Liu Hong didn't say so, he really couldn't explain the act of marching into the sea.

Cao Ying slowly walked out of the dormitory, and the bright sunlight shone on his body, which calmed Cao Ying's excited heart a little.

After walking a few steps, Cao Ying suddenly felt that Liu Hong was taking precautions, and he was much stronger than Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.

When Emperor Wu of the first Han Dynasty, he sent a debater into Yelang, and there was an allusion to Yelang's arrogance, and later Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty defeated the Xiongnu and said that the Han Dynasty was the first powerful country in the world, and some ministers proposed that Yelang was arrogant.

At this moment, Cao Ying couldn't help but sigh slightly, at that time, there was no Han Dynasty who was the protector of the Western Regions, and it may not be as large as the territory of Rome.

"It seems that you should not be conceited at any time!"

Cao Ying whispered.

This is a humane on the side: "Why did Meng De sigh? ””

Cao Ying was shocked when he heard this, looked to the side, and then smiled and said, "It turned out to be Zhongde Gong!" ”

Cheng Yu walked up to Cao Ying's side and said with a smile: "Meng De, what's wrong?" ”

"Nothing, nothing!" Cao Ying waved his hand, and then asked, "...... was Gong Zhongde summoned by His Majesty this time?" ”

A trace of excitement flashed in Cheng Yu's eyes, and he immediately regained his composure and said, "It's not a big deal, a certain law that has been revised for several years is about to be implemented." ”

Cao Ying was shocked again when he heard this, although Cheng Yu said that it was not a big deal, but this was the most comprehensive law since the beginning of the world!

Someone once said that 'Qin died in strict law and strict government', and wanted to advise, but the emperor said, "Since the law is useless, what else do you want to do?" ”

Tingwei Chen Qiu was angry at that time, in his opinion, this is the ministers of the DPRK and the Central Committee collectively want him to tell him to return to his hometown!

Subsequently, the emperor ordered the farmers and industrialists to participate in it, which can be said to have given the family enough face, and the family had no choice but to agree to this law.

Now that the law is finally coming out and about to be implemented, how can it be a trivial matter? (To be continued.) )
