Chapter 281: The Three Emperors Meeting (2)
Outside the city of Mali, Zeng Hua met Zeng Mu, who rushed to hear the news, he was standing on the side of the road in a white robe, and when he saw Zeng Hua riding his horse over, he respectfully raised his hand and raised his forehead as if he bowed, bowed ninety degrees, and saluted forward, and Murong Ling and Tuoba Jue behind him also saluted respectfully.
Zeng Hua jumped off the horse, grabbed Zeng Mu's hand, carefully looked up and down the son he had not seen for a long time, and finally nodded with a smile, and turned back without saying anything.
Hearing Zeng Hua's words of condolence, Murong Ling and Tuoba Jue's faces suddenly turned red with excitement, as two pious saints, Zeng Hua's prophetic identity was like a god in the world, although Zeng Hua himself never admitted this. Just as Murong Ling and Tuoba Jue stammered to express their hearts to Zeng Hua, Zeng Wen had already hugged Zeng Mu.
"Seventh, I haven't seen you for a long time. Hey, I'm sorry, when I was a child, you dragged your nose behind my ass, crying and shouting for me to hug, and now you don't like it. Tell you, you are still the grandfather or the seventh of our brothers, my younger brother. ”
Zeng Mu's slightly red face returned to normal, and looking at Zeng Wen, who was already naked, he finally just nodded and shouted softly: "Big brother." ”
Zeng Wenyi shook his head and continued to shout loudly: "It's still Lao Qi who fought happily, running thousands of miles from Zhaozhou, and now this Arab region has been flattened by you, I heard that there are many good things to grab." ”
Zeng Zhan next to him said: "Yes, I heard that Uncle Seventh snatched the western part of Mesopotamia clean, and the nobles there cried so badly in Ctesiphon that I couldn't help but go up and throw two copper plates to them." And Zeng Zhuo next to him was laughing with his mouth split.
"You kid is still so oily and smooth, and it's all ridiculous to your seventh uncle." Zeng Mu looked at his two nephews who liked to watch jokes, and couldn't help but laugh happily.
"By the way, Uncle Seven, what about Xiao Yuezi?" Zeng Zhan asked Zeng Mu's eldest son Zeng Yue, who used to be "alumni" of the same subject, but Zeng Zhan was just two grades higher.
"Yes, Xiao Yuezi still owes us a few big meals?" Zeng Zhuo added with a smile.
"He is still in the Arabian region, and the king of the Himyar kingdom has fled, and he is pursuing with 5,000 cavalry, ready to completely defeat the Himyar kingdom in one go." Zeng Mu replied with a smile, "I hope he can make a great contribution this time, and then he has the money to invite you to have a good meal." ”
"Speaking of fighting, Uncle Seven should be very relieved of Xiao Yuezi." Zeng Zhan and Zeng Zhuo looked at each other and replied with a smile. I don't know if the bloodline of the Murong family is too good, Zeng Mu is the most outstanding of the brothers, and Zeng Yue is also a leader in the third generation of the Zeng family, but Zeng Mu is surrounded by many talents, and Zeng Mu is more strict and demanding for his son, so Zeng Yue's promotion is far behind Zeng Zhan and other peers, and this time it is estimated that this is the first time to lead troops to carry out major tasks alone.
"Old Seven, how long do you think it will take and how much manpower will be needed in the Arab region?" Zeng Hua opened his mouth to ask, and as soon as he spoke, everyone put away their smiles and stood there honestly.
"It is estimated that it will take about fifty years to completely recover, but in twenty years, we can gather troops here and begin to deepen assimilation while conquering." Zeng Mu thought for a moment and replied. Obviously, he learned this trick from Zeng Hua, who initially encircled the Qiang and Di people in the name of religion, and then sent troops to conquer the Xianbei people, the Rouran people, the Eile people and the Huns, and used the glory and benefits of victory to greatly strengthen the encirclement of the Qiang and Di people, making them the first batch of the most solid supporters in Beifu; Then Zeng Hua took the Xianbei people, Rouran people and other ethnic groups in the north and south of the desert and the northeast to march westward, and then used the victory in the western expedition to further envelop these people, and after decades of hard work, finally had the incomparably powerful national power of China today.
"Well, the Bedouins should be able to convert to the Holy Religion easily, but you need a support force in the beginning."
"Father, I think 100,000 households should be enough." Zeng Mu replied.
"100,000 households?" Zeng Hua pondered for a moment and said, "Yes, I will propose that Shangshu Province transfer 100,000 Turkic, Yueban, Wusun and Western Xiongnu believers from Shazhou, Xizhou, and Zhaozhou to you, and then fill the gap from Hezhou and Shuozhou." ”
Hearing this, Zeng Mu was a little anxious, and hurriedly continued: "Father, what about me?" There are millions of barbarians in the Dnieper to Danube region, and although the missionary work has been going well in recent years, you must give me some support. ”
The strategy of the region between the Dnieper and the Danube was nominally to help the Romans suppress the Germanic barbarians who were frequent invaders, and to receive an annual "military expenditure" from the Romans in accordance with the agreement. However, Zeng Wen is in charge of the strategy of this region and Zeng Mu is in charge of the strategy of the Arab region are still "secrets" that are well known to a few people, and have not yet been officially announced to the world.
"I know your mind, and I won't be partial. In this case, I would propose that Shangshu Province transfer another 80,000 believers from Zhaozhou and Xizhou to the west of the Dnieper River, and then collect and replenish the gap from Heishui County, Bohai County, and Korean County in Pingzhou. ”
"That's good, thank you, Father!" Zeng Wen was very satisfied, according to the previous law, 80,000 households can recruit more than 80,000 men at most, and under normal circumstances, at least about 30,000 to 40,000 government soldiers can be maintained. Such an army is enough to hear that it has gone sideways in this area.
"In this case, there will be another big migration rotation in the north and south of the desert and the northeast." Zeng Mu looked at Zeng Hua and said, "Father, who do you want to fill the vacancy there?" ”
Zeng Hua glanced at Zeng Mu meaningfully, and then replied: "Among the Qiang people, the Dangxiang Department, the White Horse Department, and the Hetao Department, the Qiang people and Di people in Wudu in Qinzhou, the Shangjun County, Beidi County in Yongzhou, and the Xianbei in Hexi of Liangzhou were the first to follow me, and it is time to give them some pasture land." ”
These tribes are the descendants of Zeng Hua and the original Beifu, and they are also the earliest believers of the Holy Religion, and they can be said to be dead set on Zeng Hua, Huaxia and the Holy Religion, after decades of conquest, they have not only gained great wealth, but also obtained a huge increase in population, and because they were the first to be incorporated into the "education system" of Beifu, "the quality of the population" is also not what it used to be. Zeng Hua and the Huaxia Center had already migrated a large number of these tribes to Mobei and Northeast China through the method of adult land granting, but none of them were as large as this time.
"By the way, Father, do you really intend to keep Persia in this way?" Zeng Mu asked.
"What's wrong? Isn't Persia the way it is now? Zeng Hua asked rhetorically.
"I fear that a weak Persia will lead the Romans eastward, and if the Romans enter the region strongly, I am afraid that the situation will be even more chaotic." Zengmu's fears were not unfounded, as the Roman Empire, which had made Mesopotamia a province at its strongest, now firmly held the vast expanse of Egypt and Syria to Asia Minor, the eastern Mediterranean coast.
"The strength and glory of the Romans had long since dissipated with the death of the Five Sages. Sooner or later, they were going to split into East and West, and the harder we tried in the north, the more pressure the barbarians would put on the northern borders of the Roman Empire. At that time, they will not be able to take care of themselves, how can they still have the strength to advance eastward? Zeng Hua explained with a smile that the division of the Roman Empire was inevitable both in terms of his known "otherworldly history" and in the religious and political landscape of Rome today.
"So, neither the Persians nor the Romans are a threat to you." Zeng Hua finally concluded, "And the biggest beneficiary of this situation in Persia may be you.
Zeng Mu lowered his head and thought for a long time, and finally raised his head and replied with a smile: "I believe in my father's inference. ”
"Well, we've been delayed for a long time, it's time to hurry, Theodosius I and Barash are still waiting for us in Baramir."
When he first met Theodosius I, Zeng Hua thought that he was a mixture of an ancient European peasant and a victorious general, with brown skin, a broad face, a strong body and a somewhat honest temperament, no matter how he looked at it, he didn't feel like a Roman emperor.
When Zeng Hua heard Theodosius I introduce himself as being born in Segovia, Spain, he immediately appeared with a person, that is, the protagonist of the American blockbuster "Gladiator" that he had seen "from another world" put on the bookshelf - Maximus, who is also said to have been born in Spain. However, Zeng Hua, who once knew the real historical background of "Gladiator" on the bookshelf because he liked it, knew that he was once a pathetic person in the movie; In a series of various ** that must be resisted, one of the most attractive ones that I once felt was the person who wanted to quit; The picture of dreaming of returning to his hometown, standing in the middle of a vast wheat field with his hands slowly brushing the ears of wheat, and looking at the maroon-eyed child running with a colt is not the protagonist Maximus, but the old emperor himself in the black cloak, the last of the five wise emperors of the Roman Empire - Mark. Aurelius (Marcus aurelius).
"Your Majesty, I'm very sorry for my rudeness, I think of Mark. His Majesty Aurelius. Under the reminder of Zeng Wen and Zeng Mu, Zeng Hua finally recovered from his distraction, and said to Theodosius I, who could only sit there in embarrassment and wait after greeting him.
When Theodosius I heard this, there was a smile on his face. Aurelius, but the famous virtuous emperor in Roman history, His Majesty the Emperor of China can think of him from himself, isn't this boasting about himself?
"Your Majesty also knows Mark. Aurelius's deeds? I wonder if His Majesty also knew about Trajan? "Relative to the Stoic scholar of the emperor's mark. Aurelius, Theodosius I admired Traianus, the other of the Five Wise Emperors, the Roman emperor who was also born in Spain and brought the Roman Empire to its maximum in 114 AD.
"I know Trajan, who conquered the world with his sword, but Aurelius conquered it with his mind." Zeng Hua replied with a smile
Hearing this, Theodosius I only muttered in a low voice twice, while Zeng Wen and Zeng Mu and others behind Zeng Hua had mixed feelings, and the father and the Huaxia monarch in front of him seemed to be ready to conquer the world with swords and thoughts at the same time.
When it came to Aurelius, Zeng Hua couldn't help but admire him in his heart.
"It is a marvelous thing that a saint who longs to retreat sits on a glorious throne, and that a great philosopher becomes a great emperor."
"I once thought of the tomb of His Majesty Aurelius, and then read aloud the words of his meditations: 'What is lost is what he who lives the longest, and who dies the fastest.'"
Aurelius's "Meditations" written in Greek was put on the bookshelf and was introduced to China as a Stoic work, and was also translated into Chinese by professors of Yongzhou University, which caused a sensation in Chinese Sinology. And on the title page of this book, Zeng Hua made a preface.
"The Roman Empire had been in turmoil for many years, full of dangers, even wars, and the infighting of the army, and his Majesty Aurelius's annual rings were almost turning under the chariot, and his body was very tired. Everywhere they went, people chanted "Long live the Emperor!" ”。 But His Majesty Ole VI himself knew that the days were numbered, and a premonition that the mighty man would never return lingered in his heart. But he was ready to give up his life at any moment. As an emperor above ten thousand people, he usually had no friends, but His Majesty Marcus Aurelius had many close friends. Until three days before the expedition, they were talking together about the profound philosophies of the universe, the gods, and life. More than 200 years ago, outside Rome, Aurelius shook hands with his friends affectionately, as if he were parting with life and death, but this was really his last expedition. His Majesty's emotions may have been contagious to his friends, who begged him to leave his own proverbs, and thus the Meditations we see today have emerged.
While Aurelius was struggling with the plague and relief for the Roman Empire, his trusted general, the Syrian governor Aavidius Cassius, wanted to kill Aurelius and try to inherit his supreme power, but it was soon revealed. His Majesty Aurelius showed tolerance and mercy that put all the monarchs of history to shame by ordering that all evidence of Cassius' rebellion be burned, and that Cassius not even be punished (he died at the hands of his own men). This is because His Majesty Aurelius believed in the saying: everything has its own reasonable destiny, and do not impose your own power to influence them.
From this point of view, Marco. Aurelius was almost a perfect man. But being overly kind and trusting others left him with some embarrassing stories. But the most wrong thing about him was his chosen heir, Commodus. Aurelius was well aware of Commodus' incompetence, but dreamed that the sages of the Senate would guide Commodus into a man of honor and integrity. But the facts played a joke on the philosopher-king. Commodus ascended the throne and became the Roman tyrant on a par with Nero, Caligula, and Domitian. And the most glorious period of the Roman Empire came to an end. ”
Zeng Hua loudly recited the preface he had written, Zeng Wen and Zeng Mu and others had read this preface and this book well, and they were already familiar with it in their hearts, while Barash and other Persians looked indifferent, because it really had nothing to do with them. Theodosius I was very dissatisfied when he heard this, but he was not easy to say. After all, the current state of the Roman Empire is too far behind the Five Sages Emperor, and the blind can see that Theodosius I is not easy to sue Zeng Hua for slander and distortion of facts, and he now has the heart and the courage to do so.
Seeing the unhappiness on Theodosius I's face, Zeng Hua smiled and changed the subject.
"In fact, the Persian Empire also had great monarchs." Hearing this, Barash and the others couldn't help but feel nervous, this Chinese monarch had just embarrassed Theodosius I in the name of the philosophical emperor of the Roman Empire, and now he turned the spearhead to Persia, could he also be prepared to do such a thing to Barash and the Persians.
"Shapur II is a well-deserved national hero of Persia. With the expedition of Alexander the Great, Greek civilization swept every corner of the world. And it was His Majesty Shapur II who saved the Persian nation and preserved the ** nature of the Persian nation. Although Shapur II was a national hero of Persia, he did not give up food because of choking, but absorbed a lot of advanced technology and craftsmanship from the Romans and Greeks. ”
Shapur II did much to the Romans in the past, defeating the Roman army several times, even killing a Roman emperor, and he "brutally" persecuted and suppressed Christians and restored Zoroastrianism to the status of the state religion. So for a devout Christian and a Roman emperor, Theodosius I had a very bad memory of Shapur II. So Zeng Hua couldn't say it too explicit and frank, but it was these words that made Barash and others feel that they had profound meanings. After all, Aurelius has been away for more than two hundred years, and he can't compete with Theodosius I, but Shapur II died not long ago, and he was still Barash's grandfather.
"By the way, Theodosius I, I heard that you suppressed a pagan movement last year and have declared Christianity the state religion."
Zeng Hua's leapfrog thinking made it difficult for Theodosius I, Barash and others to deal with.
"Yes, Your Majesty, the two pagans Apogaste and Eugeneus have made such a fuss that it is completely contrary to the will of God. I have ordered the arrest of both of them and their followers. ”
After listening to Theodosius I's words, Zeng Hua shook his head and said, "Religion is indeed very dangerous and tricky. If it is relaxed, it is easy to have divisions and conflicts, which seriously affects the cohesion of a country and a nation, and if it is too tight, it is easy to appear ideologically ** and rigidity. ”
However, Zeng Hua only complained twice, and would never communicate with Theodosius I about the methods and means of dealing with religion. As a traveler, Zeng Hua is well aware of the advantages and disadvantages of religion. Therefore, he single-handedly created the Holy Religion, and then developed it into the state religion in which China has an absolute advantage, and began to export it strongly. But now Zeng Hua has begun to put a noose on the Holy Religion in China, rigidly limiting its secular power and subtly linking the law with religious beliefs. As a "prophet" who single-handedly created a perfect legal system, believers who believe in the Holy Religion will definitely believe wholeheartedly, and once the law is regarded as faith, then the church that is restricted by the law will not have a day to come out.
On this basis, Zeng Hua also took back the church elementary school system established by the church with a lot of financial and manpower, and merged it with the government-run elementary school that also spent a lot of financial resources and manpower to establish it, forming the largest national basic education system in the world. And absolutely guarantee the best nature of the education system, starting from the tenth year of China, schools are not allowed to propagate any religious and political ideas except for the love of the country and moral education, and institutions of higher learning are even more autonomous in the former semi-autonomous situation - "Education is to help the educated, to give him the ability to develop his own ability, to complete his personality, and absolutely not to shape the educated person into a special instrument, for those who have other purposes to use." It also defined the basic system of higher education in Chinese and state studies, namely "freedom of teaching" (the right of professors to freely lecture and conduct academic research freely) and "freedom of learning" (freedom from administrative interference in students' learning and freedom to take courses).
Zeng Hua knew very well in his heart that the ultimate essence of everything he left to Huaxia was science and democracy, which was the only magic weapon to deal with ignorance and **. And the Chinese Holy Church, which has the potential to form ignorance and **, has a very embarrassing system itself - its basis is missionaries, all professionals who have graduated from seminaries. All clergy, priests, bishops and even archbishops are elected by the people of the church, and even the Pope (Zeng Hua and his successors) can only appoint cardinal archbishops on the basis of nominations and votes of the National Council of Bishops, and this kind of election is the most democratic in the world in the current historical environment.
Moreover, after Zeng Hua occupied the absolute superiority of the Holy Religion, he quietly loosened the ropes that had been put on the heads of "pagan religions" such as Taoism, Buddhism, and even Nestorianism. Buddhism, Taoism and other religions had been suppressed by the Holy Religion for decades and could only hide in the academy and bury their heads in "study". In order to "make a comeback", they are always preparing for it, and they have always been "advancing with the times", constantly absorbing the "essence" of Chinese civilization and foreign civilizations such as Greece, discarding the dross of the previous ideological system, and perfecting their own religious system. Therefore, when Zeng Hua partially lifted the "religious ban" in the twelfth year of China, the vitality of the "new" Taoism, Buddhism, Jing and other religions made the Holy Religion dizzy for a while, and it took a while to come back to their senses and use their inherent advantages to fight back, and to maintain their absolute superiority in the fierce struggle, but they never dared to take it lightly from now on, because they knew that if their ideological system was rigid and outdated, it would be easy to be abandoned by the Chinese elites cultivated by Chinese studies and state studies. Because the more learned people are, the more aware they are of the nature of religion and its basic role.
Theodosius I did not know what Zeng Hua was thinking of, but continued in the spirit of a "devout" Christian: "Ambroaz has told me that the Olympian Athletic Convention in Athens, Greece, in terms of its origin, is the main source of paganism, a pagan activity, contrary to the tenets of Christianity, and recommends that I abolish it. Temples in Rome should be destroyed, and worship and sacrifice to pagan gods should be banned. And then there is Alexandria in Egypt, which is almost a paradise for the heathen, where the temple and library of Acelapis are the foundation of the pagan life, and where the philosopher Ipatia is an evil witch, and all this filth should be burned to death and buried in hell forever. ”
Ambroaz was the Archbishop of Milan and was trusted by Theodosius I, whom he called the conscience of Christ. He had a great influence on Theodosius I, and it seems that the archbishop had convinced Theodosius I that in order to restore the glory of Christ, it was necessary to sweep away all the pagan "stains" that had been brought to Rome.
Since Theodosius I wanted to end the Roman civilization, which inherited the ancient Greek civilization, and began the Christian medieval culture known for its darkness and **, Zeng Hua did not want to stop it. Although he had some ideas about the upcoming ban on the Athens Olympia Athletic Games, after thinking about it, he dismissed the idea of transplanting it to China, because China now has a grand sporting event of its own - the quadrennial All-China Games. It's good to get some talent and athletics to go back, and let him go if the Olympia Athletic Games are banned. But Zeng Hua planned to take care of Alexander's affairs.
At present, there are many scholars from Greece and Rome in Chinese Sinology, and in their hearts, the Library of Alexandria is a sacred place, a collection of world knowledge, if Theodosius I really burned it, maybe these scholars who have joined the Chinese nationality will encourage the Chinese province to declare war on Rome.
Zeng Hua then began to negotiate with Theodosius I to grant the Library of Alexandria to China, allowing scholars who had been declared pagan and heretical to take refuge in China, and the witch Ipatia was "on the list".
Although Theodosius I did not understand the meaning of Zeng Hua's actions, sending heretical books and scholars to China, which was also a pagan religion, had little effect on Rome. After Zeng Hua promised to forgive the Chinese army of military expenses and half of the foreign debt to help the Romans recover the city of Baramir (due to the trade deficit, the Roman Empire owed China a lot of money), Theodosius I promised to give China all the "non-Christian heretical books and cultural relics" that were originally to be burned down in the Library of Alexandria, the Library of Rome, the Library of Milan, the Library of Athens, and the Library of Constantinople, and all "non-Christian heretical" scholars who should be arrested and executed could apply to go to China.
After the matter was settled, Zeng Hua, Theodosius I, and Barash I began to talk about business, and they had a discussion on the mutual relations and status of the three kingdoms of China, Rome, and Persia, and agreed that the three countries were fraternal countries of friendship and mutual assistance, mutual respect for sovereignty and customs, and they represented the advanced civilization of the world, and in order to protect this civilization, it was necessary to unite to suppress and strike at the barbaric and murderous barbarians.
When resolving conflicts and disputes between the three countries, the third party has the obligation to help the parties to the conflict mediate and help them turn hostilities into friendships.
For the sake of the progress and development of their respective countries, the three countries maintain close contacts and communication to ensure free commercial trade and academic exchanges. To this end, they will authorize the relevant officials to draft and sign a series of friendly and reciprocal agreements such as trade and tariff agreements, talent mobility agreements, navigation agreements, etc. Finally, the Three Emperors signed and promulgated the Declaration of the Baramir and placed it on the shelves.
All that remained was for the officials below to discuss the details of the agreement, and Zeng Hua, who was idle, proposed that the three emperors go to the nearest Syria for an excursion. Theodosius I and Barash I agreed.
Nearly two months later, Zeng Hua, who was visiting Damascus, received a "List of Books and Antiquities to be Gifted" from the Roman side, which was placed on the shelves and a list of scholars who had voluntarily applied for avoidance, and the list would continue to be extended as the work continued. However, Zeng Hua couldn't help but feel his heart beat after reading the first catalog of the Library of Alexandria.
the complete manuscripts of Homer, the famous ancient Greek poet, reproduced and translated into Latin by the Library of Alexandria; Many originals of the ancient Greek mathematician Euclid, including the Geometry Originals on the shelf; As early as 270 BC, the ancient Greek astrophist Aristophanes' theoretical work on heliocentrism proposed the Copernican theory of the sun and the earth; The original manuscripts of the three great tragic writers of ancient Greece, Eschiris, Sophocles, and Eulipides; Many manuscripts of Hippocrates, an ancient Greek physician and the founder of Western medicine; The first Greek Bible was placed on a bookshelf for translations of the Old Testament Pentateuch; The handwriting of many works by scholars such as Aristotle, the ancient Greek philosophical scientist, and Archimedes, who contributed to medicine, mathematics, physics, and many other fields. In addition, there are numerous works of philosophy, poetry, medicine, religion, ethics, and other sciences by the ancient Egyptians whose names are unknown to Zeng Hua, and of the Ptolemaic period. The final statistic is that there are more than half a million volumes of manuscripts of all kinds (papyrus).
Zeng Hua looked at these familiar and unfamiliar names, his hands trembled slightly, it seems that in the future, if the West wants to study the history of their own civilization, it will have to go to Huaxia to study. With this surprise, Zeng Hua only glanced at the list of asylum scholars who had applied for asylum as many as 3,769, and he didn't know it anyway, even Ipatia among them had heard about it from Theodosius I in the name of a witch. Okay, let's all go to Huaxia, anyway, half of the professors in Huaxia Sinology and State Studies are saints, and the other half are all kinds of pagans, and they don't care about these people.
Zeng Hua held a Chinese New Year celebration in the consulate in Damascus that was a novelty for the Romans and Persians, and the time soon reached the seventeenth year of China.
In February, Theodosius I was returning to Constantinople, because with a series of repressive policies, the pagan revolt was becoming stronger, and the Roman emperor had to return to take charge. Zeng Hua is also ready to return to China, because it has been almost four years since he came out.
After bidding farewell to Zeng Hua, Theodosius I complained to the guards beside him: "The emperor of the Chinese people looks like he is in a meeting with me and Barash, but in fact he is in a meeting with Marcus Aurelius and Shapur II. ”
Zeng Hua looked at Damascus City, which was getting farther and farther away, and suddenly turned back to Zeng Mu and said, "If you want to build a country one day, I suggest that you set up the capital in Damascus." ”
Zeng Mu's face was shocked, but he quickly calmed down and asked, "Father, why is this?" ”
"The valley of the two rivers is too rich to produce good soldiers. The Persian plateau is good, but it's a little further away. Only this Damascus, connecting the Arab region in the south, the two river basins in the east, Asia Minor in the north, and Egypt in the west, not only has the Syrian Valley as a base, but also has the Mediterranean Sea at its back. ”
After hearing this, Zeng Mu couldn't help but look at Damascus in the distance, and after a while he replied: "Please rest assured, father, I will definitely come back." ”
