Li Jie was also stunned. [Eye-fast reading book new domain name., initials, previously registered accounts can still be used]

Even if only the eastern half of the Roman Empire remains, Byzantium is still beautiful for hundreds of years, spanning Asia, Europe and Africa, once controlling the Holy See and a large area of Europe, even the Rus barbarians recognized its suzerainty, and the rise of Islam only took away his Asian territory, and this thousand-year-old empire still stubbornly survived.

After the unexpected capture of Constantinople by the Crusades in the 11th century, the heavy blow of the Mongol expedition to the west, until the Ottoman Turks of the Islamic country came to attack in the 14th century, hundreds of thousands of troops with the cooperation of artillery to draw an end to this old empire.

Byzantium represents an era in which the empire of more than a million square kilometers is now subject to itself.

In the end, it was still Li Jie, who came to his senses after just a trance, but squinted his eyes vigilantly and looked at Anna who looked serious, pinched his chin and asked, "What benefits does the Min Kingdom get?" How can Lone believe in you? ”

"Byzantium is now in constant war, and we can only pay a tribute of 50,000 gold coins and 50,000 wheat, as for how to guarantee it? I am the princess of Heraclius of Rome, the granddaughter of Emperor Heraclius, the daughter of Emperor Constans II, the co-emperor, Tiberius, governor of Syria. Sister of Constantine, I can swear in the name of Byzantine royalty. ”

"King Min, I'm afraid you promised to negotiate an alliance with the Arab peace, I'm afraid it's also a good idea to turn against each other in the future, Byzantium represents not only himself, but also the Holy See, Armenia and several other vassal countries, from the Tang Dynasty thousands of miles away, the King of Min is probably not willing to stop in the Himalayas, if Byzantium is a vassal to Min, Min will crusade against any country in Central Asia and Western Europe, it will become justified."

Li Jie finally felt moved by these words, now that he has gone so far, isn't his biggest ideal to establish another great empire belonging to China in a distant foreign land to ensure the prosperity and civilization of thousands of generations? Huaxia can pay the most attention to fame, and if the name is not right, it will not be good.

Seeing Li Jie's heart-warming appearance, Khalid's face couldn't help but be gloomy, and he lowered his voice and reminded solemnly: "His Royal Highness the King of Min, the Byzantines have bullied us Arabians for many years, and the caliph will not make a truce with them, if you accept their submission, I am afraid that the contract we signed just now will be null and void." ”

"Constantinople soldiers are only more than 100,000, the remnants of the Armenian Military Region are more than 50,000 in danger, the Byzantine emperor is bent on fleeing to the west, if our country withdraws its troops, the Byzantines will never dare to pursue, and it will be impossible to give any aid to Fujian, and then it will become a decisive battle between our two countries, the old man admits that several wars in Fujian have been fought very beautifully, but this Beijing division has not even built a good city wall, not far from the heart of the Fujian rebellion, the remnants of the rebellion are not settled, and the king of Fujian has the confidence to prevent my Arab destruction of Persia, Beat the Roman emperor to flee the Islamic army? ”

These words were full of threats, and he couldn't help but rush to Xiao Sheng after hearing them, Yang Jian suddenly changed color, and the two important ministers of the Fujian State were full of anger, and scolded angrily: "Arrogance! ”

"Rude! Come! ”

Without waiting for the two of them to call the Praetorian Guard, Li Jie waved his hand violently: "Wait." ”

The two important ministers stopped abruptly, full of coldness, and Li Jie raised his head with an imperial momentum: "This subject country has taken it alone." ”

"Then wait for the war." The color of anger spread on his face, flicked his sleeves, Khalid turned his head directly and left, the arrogant look just arrived angrily again, the ceremonial department Shangshu Xiao Sheng's old face was red, the other end was facing away from Li Jie, Anna's eyes flashed cunning again, but Li Jie was not in a hurry at all, waiting for Khalid to take a few steps, Li Jie said slowly: "Just a few words from Princess Anna, the tongue of Allah is nothing more than that." ”

It was really a sudden stiffness, and then the old face became red, Khalid came back to his senses in an instant, Anna swore an oath, but now it is just an empty word, with a small trick, the covenant between himself and Li Jie who had been negotiating for a long time was almost ruined by her, and it was blamed that the Byzantine vassal was too shocking, and even he couldn't help but be tricked.

With a blushing face, Khalid was so angry that he roared directly into Arabic, and was stunned before the Arabic translator hurriedly translated it into Tang: "'It is impossible for Byzantium to be a vassal to Fujian. ”

A touch of pity flashed in her beautiful eyes, and she glanced at Li Jie angrily, and Anna bit her pink lip again: "Then the king of Min does not accept my Roman vassal?" ”

"No, if Rome is a vassal, it will be accepted, but it will require Emperor Constans II or co-emperor Tiberius. Constantine and Gu personally talked about it, before that, Fujian will not intervene in the war between the Arab Empire and Byzantium, so, Ambassador Khalid, our covenant can continue, if you are not at ease, you can turn the annual tribute into a monthly payment, and send as many wheat and gold coins as a month. ”

"King Min still doesn't believe me? You must know that Byzantine women also have the right to inherit, and Anna has the right to the third inheritance to the throne, and my words represent the empire. Unwillingly, Anna once again raised her pink lips, but looking at her with interest, Li Jie shook his head again.

"Princess Anna, Lone will teach you a Chinese allusion, there was an assassin named Yao Li in the Spring and Autumn Period, in order to assassinate the country's enemy Qingji, he asked the monarch to cut off one of his right arms, killed his entire family, and scattered ashes in the bazaar, and then fled to Qingji, relying on the blood feud to gain trust, and in one fell swoop assassinated the world's famous warrior Qingji to achieve the name of the ages."

Obviously suspected that she was leaving, after hearing it, Anna sighed helplessly in her heart, but her face was silent and confused, the king of Min was shrewd, but she somewhat separated the relationship between Fujian and the Arab Empire, which can be regarded as one of the gains.

has been woken up by Li Jie, Khalid will not be so resigned, after listening to this story noncommittally stroked his beard, Khalid lobbied Li Jie again.

"Your Highness, even if what the Byzantines say is true, and they really claim to the Min country, but he is a country in the West Mountain, how can there be a kingdom established by Allah and the followers of the world more valuable, or it will not be long before we Arabs will destroy Byzantium, and lose the friendship of the caliphate for the sake of Byzantium, is it worth it?"

This time, Li Jie also hesitated for a moment, actually shook his sleeves, quickly leaned in front of Harry, and whispered: "Now that you are the caliph reigning in the Arab Empire, but Your Majesty Osman is from the Umayyad family?" ”

Although it was not a secret, Khalid didn't expect Li Jie to know so clearly about the upper echelons of the Arab Empire, so he nodded subconsciously, a trace of understanding flashed in his eyes, Li Jie suddenly whispered in Khalid's ear, and after a while, Khalid's face changed dramatically.

"Your Highness, how did Your Highness know?"

Khalid even stumbled, first shouted an Arabic sentence, and then replied to the Tang language that God said, but unfortunately, at this time, Li Jie shrugged his shoulders very irresponsibly.

"This can't be said, if the envoy doesn't believe it, it's okay, when Gu didn't say it."

It was really tangled like constipation, Khalid lowered his head, and the rest of the Arabs surrounded the neighborhood and asked about it, but Khalid always shook his head, and after thinking for a moment, he arched his hand to Li Jie and turned to leave.

"Ah, Ambassador Khalid! Our covenant, when will the Arab Empire send tribute, and how much per month? Lonely open market? ”

"No need to do it every month, 200,000 wheat, 400,000 gold coins will be delivered at the beginning of next month, and the king of Min can open the border."

Khalid and the Arab envoys were really in a hurry, and the ambassador was out of order for no reason, and a group of deputy envoys were stunned and said goodbye to Li Jie and hurriedly went out in a panic.

Khalid can use one mouth to say that Chaori, Aroshun, Palava, and Punjab large and small dozen states rebelled against the Min state, it can be seen that his ability, not only in Tianzhu, in the war with Persia and Byzantium, Khalid also caused a lot of trouble for Anna, looking at Li Jie suspiciously sent away the notoriously difficult tongue of Allah with a word, and in such a hurry, even Anna couldn't help but turn her head in confusion and looked at Li Jie and asked.

"What exactly did you tell him?"

"Miss Anna, Princess Anna, how sure are you that Byzantium is a vassal to Fujian?" Still that kind of annoying smile, looking down at Anna's curious eyes, Li Jie lowered his sleeves and asked rhetorically, Anna couldn't help but feel gloomy in her heart, how did she not know the character of the Romans, she was obviously decayed, but she was still clinging to the glory of her ancestors, just now it was just Anna's disturbance in a hurry, asking them to bow their heads? Difficult!

However, this matter can't be said to Li Jie, the head, Anna forced a smile and sneered at the little tiger tooth and patted her little chest and smiled: "Don't worry, Miss Ben is the third heir of the Roman Empire." ”

I wanted to be like Khalid and the Arab mission, saying hello and returning home in a low-key manner, but unfortunately, things did not go the way Miss Anna had hoped.

That night, her fake ambassador was warmly welcomed by the Fujian State, after all, a large country of more than one million square kilometers took the initiative to call himself a minister is still a very face-saving thing, for this reason Li Jie also held a special state banquet, in this solemn hall, thousands of officials above the fifth grade all attended the state banquet, all kinds of delicacies that Anna has never seen before do not want money to go up, if in the past, this foodie princess was so happy that she went crazy, but now, she always can't swallow, can't come out of a taste.

What makes Anna even more depressed is that the educational institutions in Fujian are really developed, and in less than three days, the story of the Romulo brothers drinking wolf milk and building a city by the Tiber River is known to everyone, as well as Caesar, Octavian, Scipio and Scipio, the Punic Wars and Hannibal, if you don't talk about the Marian military reform on the street, you can't consciously say that you are a scholar.

The scholars were the tongues of the year, the scholars were dressed in a boiling fashion, the people of Third Street and the rich merchants who frequented knew that the rich merchants were showing off and muttering to their subordinates, and on the fourth day, Anna even heard sitting in a tavern on the side of the road, which was too small to be smaller, listening to two people digging dung discussing how the Spartacus revolt was.

Of course, the news that the Byzantine princess came all the way to Fujian to claim her vassal is also well known, and in terms of public opinion, Li Jie played out first, making Anna want to cry without tears......

"Miss, what should I do, if this is passed back, your father will not be mad?" Sitting on the gorgeous four-wheeled carriage presented by the Fujian Kingdom, wearing the coveted silk Mediterranean dress, the little maid Ruth was crying with a little face and asked in a low voice.

This time the goods were fully loaded, and they were all given by the Min State, without waiting for Byzantium to claim the vassals, the Min State and the rewards given by the suzerainty country could not be loaded to them, and it was rare to make a lot of money, and Amulie's fat face also rose like a ripe persimmon, and he kept muttering: "These are bad, go back to those senate nobles and don't hang me for treason." ”

For so long, it has always been a small country seeking refuge in Rome, and it has never been a case for Rome to seek refuge in another country, and Amule can even imagine the ugly faces of those red-robed elders after returning home.

However, Anna didn't care that she didn't have the image of a princess and reclined on the cushion, while constantly stuffing the grapes of the Western Regions into her bright red little mouth, and hummed nonchalantly: "What are you afraid of, a large group of important ministers of their Senate can still see me like a little girl, it's a big deal to go back and admit your mistake." ”

"Then Miss, what are your hands shaking?"

Hearing Ruth innocently blink her big eyes and ask, Anna immediately wanted to die, her brown eyes widened, and she snorted angrily: "Ruth, why are you so real?" Tell the truth? ”

"King Min has arrived!"

Just when Anna was sulking, outside the car window, there was a long shout from the free rider.
