The triumphal arch of the city of Rome is wide open. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
Five thousand Roman adult phalanx soldiers lined up on both sides of the avenue, and flags of various colors fluttered.
At about nine o'clock in the morning, Pompey came with Liu Xie.
On both sides of the avenue, there are 100 trumpeters, with big red brushes, turning their heads in unison and blowing trumpets at the sun.
Under the Arc de Triomphe, a silver troika slowly drove out. On the carriage, Severus was dressed in a whole golden armor and a huge red brush helmet, and the armor was depicted with the pattern of a lion, which was majestic and majestic.
Severus was the real power faction in the military who entered the Senate, with a big family, wealth, and strong troops, although he was not yet the first senator, but he was supported by many senators. At the Roman court, Emperor Conrad was the most powerful, and Severus was the second. Because of the existence of the Senate, the system of the Roman court was different from that of the Eastern dynasties. On many things, Conrad had to negotiate with Severus.
Subsequently, the returning Pompey expressed his respect for Severus's subordinates, and vaguely mentioned that the capture of the Eastern Emperor Liu Xie this time was for Severus's glory.
Severus's troika was in front, Pompey's troika was behind, and the carriage carried Emperor Han Xian, and at the sound of the trumpet, he entered the city of Rome.
After Liu Xie came to Rome, it was like entering a different world. I don't understand anything but fear. He didn't have enough brains for what was happening now, and he didn't have enough eyes for the style of Rome. In a word, Meng chattered very dizzy and scared.
On both sides of the avenue in the middle of the city were Roman citizens dressed in certain costumes, who waited for a long time to see what the emperor of the East looked like.
In order to make it easier for citizens to visit the Eastern Emperor, Pompey took care of the emperor's crown for Emperor Han Xian.
Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty wore a crown with a black dragon pattern and a crown with beaded curtains on the front and back, which was exposed to the sight of Roman citizens.
"This is the Emperor of the East?"
"Skinny, weak, weak, little kid?"
"No wonder his dynasty is torn apart, and his retainers rebel."
"Hey, why does he have so many bugs tattooed on his clothes?"
"You don't understand this, this is the loong of the East, not the dragon. Many years ago, the 'Hammer of Thor' Qin Zijin said it in the Old Mountain. ”
The citizens of Rome cheered and celebrated as it was another glorious victory for the Roman Empire, arguably the most glorious victory in a century. The citizens knew very well that Rome ruled the West and the Han Dynasty ruled the East, and now that the Han Emperor has been captured, wouldn't Rome be about to rule the world.
What a glorious thing it was, but where Emperor Han Xian passed, the citizens of Rome shouted 'heartbreaking'. Too many people raised their fists and demonstrated to Liu Xie, all grinning with their teeth, eager to eat Emperor Han Xian.
How could Liu Xie, Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty, not know that he was embarrassed, he hung his head, blushed, clenched his fists, and suffered great humiliation in his heart.
Pompey was Severus' subordinate, and Severus was able to share in this glory.
Every time Severus waved his hand, he was greeted with cheers. Severus was glad that such a thing would increase his prestige in the Empire. In addition, after capturing Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty, Severus had plans to expedition to the East. He intended to conquer the East himself, and when he triumphed, it was when he became Roman emperor.
The unique political system of the Roman Empire, in which the emperor was not in the same lineage, gave him the opportunity to win the throne.
Pompey slapped Emperor Han Xian's ass, "Wave your hand quickly." ”
Humiliation.
But Liu Xie had to wave.
Pompey slapped Emperor Han Xian's ass again, "Bow quickly." ”
Liu Xie had to bow.
The Romans erupted in even greater cheers, which were certainly not given to Liu Xie, but to the glory that belonged to Rome. The Eastern Emperor bowed, what this represented, it is self-evident.
Emperor Han Xian was about to cry.
Pompey laughed and said, "What are you crying for, do you know that when other emperors enter the city of Rome, they are tied to the back of the carriage and dragged away." It's good that you're able to stand in the carriage. Don't cry, or you will look good, laugh quickly, and bow quickly. ”
Emperor Han Xian wiped his tears, bowed and laughed.
When Emperor Han Xian entered the palace, the city of Rome was in the midst of a city-wide celebration that was rare in a century. "Great glory, shine on Rome, long live Rome!" The cries echoed in the skies of Rome.
On the Roman Palace Hill, in the high platform hall, Conrad received Liu Xie in a 'friendly' manner.
The Eastern Emperor Liu Xie was forced to kneel to the Western Emperor Conrad and kowtow in salute.
This was the first meeting between Eastern and Western emperors in world history. It's just that this meeting has made the East dusty. Because Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty actually came in the nature of a captive, although the Roman emperor gave him the treatment of an emperor, he could not hide this fact.
Conrad eats, drinks and entertains.
Emperor Han Xian thought that it would be torture, but he didn't expect that it would be a good reception.
In fact, Conrad will not easily beat Liu Xie, he has to raise Liu Xie well, and raise him for nothing, so that he can use him to subdue the Han Dynasty. Therefore, he specially ordered the palace department that no one could embarrass the Han emperor and serve him well.
The Romans rarely bowed to each other, and Conrad, who received the bow of the Eastern Emperor, was so excited that on this day he summoned all the senators of the empire to a meeting in the Senate.
The Patriarch's Hill next to the Imperial Palace Hill, the Senate.
The meeting was attended by the First Senator Marcy Antonique, the Second Consul Emilius Poonway, the well-known senators Crassus Heaney, Tiberio Gracchus, and more than 300 senators. Severu, of course.
There were also imperial generals, Gaeder Julius Caesar, Cornelius Pompey, Marcus Junius Octavian, and Sempronius Tiberius. Most of these are descendants of the Glory Bloodline, and they are inextricably linked to Severus, so Severus's stealth strength is huge.
The central topic of this meeting was, of course, the expedition to China. The expedition to China was not easy, and it required huge supplies and troops. Under normal circumstances, such an expedition that consumes a huge distance and does not get permission at all, but with the emperor of the other party in hand, it will be completely different.
The patriarchs pondered one after another, because of Liu Xie in their hands, this expedition would definitely be brilliant, and what they would get would be many times more than what they spent. In the eyes of the patriarchs, what kind of grain and grass and soldiers are numbers. They don't care about the damage of the soldiers or anything, as long as the number invested in it can be returned profitably, everything is easy to say.
Therefore, the Senate surprisingly did not disagree, and unanimously agreed to start preparations for the expedition to China.
The patriarchs blushed one by one and had thick necks, and they actually began to quarrel about the distribution of benefits after Huaxia. One by one, holding 'knives and forks', staring at the map of China, it was as if they had seen an irresistible big cake.
"The Han Dynasty had thirteen states, with a huge area, and the distribution of rights and interests, slaves and other items after the victory depended on the contributions of the elders." Conrad laughed. That means, in a word, whoever pays more money and more soldiers will share more after victory.
Roman politics was distinctive, with the senators wielding enormous wealth and military strength.
Just when the patriarch was discussing how to divide China, the gate was pushed in, and a general with a gray face, his armor was full of old bloodstains, and he ran in with an intelligence canister in his hand, and shouted: "The big thing is not good, the Han Dynasty champion Hou Qin Zijin led the Han Dynasty army to Armenia, and the Armenian governor of Macedonia, Niku Paulus, is in a hurry!" ”
"What?" Conrad's elders couldn't help but stand up one after another, and the staircase conference room that was still buzzing just now could be heard at that time.
"Thor's hammer Qin Zijin led a large army to the province of Armenia, and the governor of Macedonia Nikul Paulus is in a hurry!" The general shouted at the top of his voice, he was afraid that the emperor and the elders would not understand who the champion was, so he deliberately changed it to Thor's hammer.
Thor's hammer, messenger of the Olympian god-king Jupiter, he's coming! Conrad, Severus and other elders were in shock.
Who is Mjolnir? His deeds as an ambassador to Rome are still widely known in the Roman Empire. It is the embodiment of wisdom, strength, and courage, and an oracle that can make the tigers submit.
Everyone stared at the huge map of Huaxia, their throats stirred, this piece of fat meat was indeed delicious and tempting, but it was definitely not so easy to eat. (To be continued.) )
