Chapter 462: The Empire Has Succeeded
Now we know a little bit about why the emperors of all dynasties did not abolish the eunuch party, who wrote the swan song of the historians, and who wrote the rhyme of the rhyme? Who improved the papermaking technique and inherited the human civilization? Who was the one who subdued the border and fixed the distance for the Tang Dynasty and pacified the barbarians in the southwest? Who was in charge of the state affairs and saved the Tang Dynasty from the fall? Who was the one who expanded the border to the northwest and passed through the Youyan? Who set sail and raised the prestige of the country thousands of miles away? Who was the Donglin Party that single-handedly suppressed the Donglin Party that brought disaster to the country and the people? -- they were all eunuch parties.
Although there are many disasters to the country and the people, but ...... There's no denying that these guys are good at figuring out people's hearts. After abandoning his initial prejudices, Cybertron really felt that there was one less guy around him who could talk and have a brain.
"Oh...... I see, I understand when you say that. So all the famous emperors here except for Emperor Nero have streets named after him, right? β
"Oh...... the place we're going to be is the Golden Palace?βthat sounds familiar. We don't have such splendid palace buildings in England, and we think that our previous dynasty was already poor and luxurious. It's really incomparable to the Empire - oh roar, what is that statue? It's about the same size as the Demon King's half-body!"
"This is the Colosseum that is a replica of Rome? I heard that Rome has already ...... Well, it's ruined. It's 40 meters bigger than Rome? Oh, it's a place worth visiting. I'll tell you, it's almost like seeing a hive from the outside!"
Cybertron excitedly walked in Constantinople, the capital of the Byzantine Empire, because the city was still under siege, so the city was under control and ban. Generally speaking, citizens are not allowed to walk on the streets, and shops are not likely to be open. However, it can be seen that the houses here are magnificent, and the life of the citizens should be rich.
But, early in the morning of that day, the inhabitants of the Byzantine imperial capital "spontaneously" took to the streets to greet the [allies] who had saved them with a cheering gesture.
In any case, these Greeks had long considered themselves Romans, and this kind of victory parade with the antique flavor of Rome was not the first time in Constantinople. "The empire is about to succeed" is the key word in all victory parades. Putting on a grand parade was often a great way for everyone to realize the greatness of the empire, which the Romans liked to do.
The end of Cybertron's tour had arrived, and Cybertron was walking through the streets in military uniforms early the next morning. By the way, he treated a group of chiefs of his own tribes, capable courtiers, and...... New Byzantine eunuch slaves. It's a deterrent to the local population, and to be honest, it's a deterrent to the local population for the sake of further profit.
We will experience the limits of the continent.
Look at our mighty allies -- Cybertron wants to build on such an idea. Anyway, whether it is the evil Axis powers that peacefully occupied Vienna, or the righteous American imperialist father who "I will tie the enemy's intestines to the chariot tracks and crush them to scum" and do what he says. What they had to do in the occupied areas was to carry out parad-like "patrols" with a show of force.
Of course, Cybertron opened and closed his mouth to mention some evil things that he had experienced before.
Following the ancient example, although the city was still under siege outside, it could not lose in momentum! Cybertron stood on a splendid Roman chariot that had long been militarily eliminated. He wore a purple high-grade toga, and because he was extremely upset, he did not paint his face with the red paint that represented Jupiter - yes, despite believing in the Holy Light, the Greeks still cannot forget Jì Jupiter (or Greek mythology). Especially in recent years, the Renaissance has been done well, and everyone has begun to gradually regain the glory of the Roman Empire. Wearing an olive branch crown on his head, which symbolizes nobility and peace, glory and status, and behind him stands the eunuch slave holding a decorative [halo] on top of Cybertron's head, which seems to represent Cybertron's great ability to have a "godhead" (which was indeed done in the days of the Roman Empire). The chariot slowly moved forward because it was because it was for everyone to "see" the true face of the reinforcement general, and also because of ...... In front of the chariot there was a large group of Orthodox patriarchs who were advancing while chanting, as if to open the way with the Holy Light.
Behind him were more than twenty courtiers or holy soldiers, followed by two hundred chariots, and five hundred reckless men of Burkeso, who marched in a mighty procession blowing trumpets and war-drums.
"Uh...... My lord. Govin next to him rode forward, came to the side of the Cybertron chariot and reminded Cybertron with a dry smile, as if he really couldn't stand Cybertron and closed his mouth about the past: "Now is the parade of victory, we may be able to change the analogy - although Constantinople is indeed the most magnificent city on the European continent, but ......"
"Uh...... I'm sorry, I'm only 19 years old this year, and the most atmospheric scene I've ever seen in my life are none other than those two things. Aha...... After all, I'm a countryman from Ellan, and this is the farthest I've ever traveled. Cybertron also laughed to himself, to the simple point of being: "Well, I've only seen those things in my life, so of course the metaphor has to be a metaphor - it doesn't matter." Look, at first glance, those crowds seem to be more than a zombie wave!"
"......" Gawain retreated in a gloomy manner, because his boss had always been strict with himself - at least in the eyes of other nouveau riche and even hereditary monarchs in the continent, he was a model of strict self-discipline. Therefore, the courtiers who gave him a little sunshine were more strict with his words and deeds, and it seemed that in some cases everyone had ignored Cybertron's age limit - treating him as a mature and sophisticated ruler.
But today the other party has already expressed his dissatisfaction -- Lao Tzu is only 19 this year! What nonsense are you talking about?
"Your Excellency...... It's really pitiful. On the contrary, the eunuch slave who had just been accepted next to him could speak human language, and there was a sigh beside Cybertron that was not flattering, but just sighed like a friend: "If the adults are not heroes, they are probably still living freely in some deep mountain in Ellan, right?"
"Hmm...... Aha, almost, right?" Cybertron unceremoniously and unabashedly roared in front of everyone, praising the slaves behind him. Patting this beautiful little eunuch on the shoulder, he even found the feeling of playing with the bear children of the bear people when he was a child, and said like a buddy: "I don't have to be the prince of Ellan, how good! I tell you, my greatest wish is not to be a prince, but to be able to travel all of Europe! See the monsters here, see the monsters in foreign countries, or something--experience the different atmospheres and cultures of the world! But ...... It seems that there is no chance in this life, so I took advantage of this holy war to go farther! I also promised the king of the Holy Land to go around the Holy Land. "Look at the differences and similarities with the Earth.
Cybertron patted his eunuch friend on the shoulder very boldly, while he, the eunuch friend of the cat people, probably didn't think so, but he also accepted Cybertron's kindness with a wry smile. On the other side, a group of courtiers have something to say but dare not say, you say that your boss suddenly likes to stir up the foundation, is it a good or bad thing? Of course, at the end, Dinisha is going through a series of ideological struggles, should she walk over and jump and split now--but after so many years of research with Cybertron, this expression represents his sincere happiness, but it does not represent human and affection, desire and desire--could it be that Cybertron really regards a eunuch as a friend? This ...... Obviously my wife is by my side, you say that I am more willing to believe it if you change your mouth!
Of course, the most strange thing may be the group of onlookers around him who don't know the truth. I heard that a group of barbarians from the horizon had arrived, and this group of barbarians had just saved the city from the danger of slaughtering the city. But...... The leader of this group of barbarians does not seem to be the tall and mighty knight king of legend.
It's a handsome anomaly, chatting and laughing with another handsome and unusual cat-man slave...... Pseudo-mother?
...... Well, it's not unacceptable, isn't it said that was the same thing with Augustus the Great? Could it be that the empire was reborn? It's just ...... It's a bit far from the heroes I imagined in my heart.
The procession staggered and finally came to the [Golden Chamber] in the distance, where the barbarians in the Ellan Mountains were now swaggering through the city as the saviors of the empire.
On the altar at the apex of the semicircle of the palace hall, this long nave looks like a regular church on the continent. But this is indeed the seat of the emperor, and it is actually designed according to the church. The throne was located on a three-level porphyry staircase, made of ivory, gold, pearls, and precious stones, and topped with a canopy, from which Constantine XXIII stepped step by step. On the tall marble building, he stood on the high steps and waited for Cybertron's arrival.
"Thank you for coming, beloved, great, and most honorable Basilius of Britain!" Constantine XXIII, about forty years old, with a short Greek beard, and a magnificent Toga uniform of the same purple. He stepped forward and hugged Cybertron - complimenting him with almost the most flowery salutation.
"......" is so big that there is a smell of alcohol and medicine, Cybertron was hugged by the other party and instantly felt that the whole person was not good: "Ahem...... Thank you for the compliment. By the way, I just want to see you, how does it feel like a parade through the streets......?
"In fact, this is indeed a victory parade. The Emperor looked at Cybertron and smiled, took Cybertron's hand and raised it above his head to accept the cheers of the people: "I'll just be straight, I need you and your army very much now, and the people need you very much." But I give you real benefits and benefits to fight against the armies of the Latin countries. I don't trust the Hungarians, the Pope, and the people of the Holy Roman Empire, so I'm going to make you a hero before they arrive - and even more so you are. Come, accept my sincere wishes and those of my people -- by the way, that you like the gift I have given you. β
"Hmm...... It's better if it's not purple, I prefer red, blue and black, preferably black......"
"No, I'm talking about the eunuch slave. β
"......Yes, we can talk a lot, but you like to talk about this in formal situations?"
"Haha-" Constantine laughed, indicating that the other party was still very easy to handle: "It's nothing, you just like it." β
