"yes." Li Xuanying is very proud: "In fact, as long as you understand deeply, it is not difficult for you to find that our country is much more 'Rome' than you imagined. ”

"We don't really know much." Zerik stumbled, "At first, all we heard was that this was an Orthodox Khanate. ”

"Strictly speaking, we're not really a khanate." Guo Kang corrected: "Although everyone likes to call us 'Roman Khanate' or 'Purple Horde' or something like that, in fact, our Rome is a state with a head of state, but the head of state has been hereditary for a long time. ”

"Yes." Li Xuanying nodded: "Our official name has always been 'Kuriltai and the Roman People', not really calling ourselves the Roman Khanate. ”

"It seems a familiar name." Zhu Wenkui said curiously.

"This is not surprising, because Mongolia under the Kurultai system is actually similar in nature." Li Xuanying pointed out: "Beginning with Genghis Khan, although the Great Khans paid less and less attention to the authority of Kuriltai, the Mongol Khanate was still essentially a state of the head of state. ”

Later, Kublai Khan led the Hebei army to cross the Tura River and disbanded the Helin Kuriltai by force. At this point, the transformation to the empire was completed. ”

"That's right...... That's really a bit like. Zhu Wenkui nodded slightly in surprise.

"I suspect that these countries, in the earliest days, were not too much different. However, there are not many records of the early Mongols, so it is impossible to judge. Guo Kang said: "Now even Genghis Khan's decrees have basically been lost, and I don't know the specific decrees and organizational details of their laws at that time." ”

"It's only been a few years." Zhu Wenkui calculated and shook his head.

"It's mostly vandalism." Li Xuanying explained: "At that time, he originally hoped that all the members of the Golden Family in the future would firmly abide by this set of laws. But the one he formulated...... What's it called? I can't even remember the name, but it's probably called the Golden Law. It's probably been passed on for a generation, and then no one listens to it. ”

"Kublai Khan, who I just mentioned, took the lead in breaking the Golden Law, and even some basic provisions. In the earliest days, Genghis Khan ordered him not to make portraits – a common way to emphasize divinity. ”

Kublai Khan not only found a statue of Genghis Khan, but also claimed that he looked like his grandfather, and asked to make it according to his own appearance. The portraits that are now circulating everywhere are actually Kublai Khan. ”

"This way also emphasizes one's legitimacy." Jeanne said.

"yes, that's the usual way." Guo Kang nodded: "In order to control the Persian region, the Ilkhanate made a large number of sacred images of prophets, and then painted a great khan's face and distributed them everywhere. This kind of icon is widely circulated, and we have it here. ”

"By the time of Timur, the icon became the face of Timur. The statue in our Niangniang temple was personally funded and sponsored by Emperor Timur for a Greek sculptor to carve on his face. ”

"It's the same with the people of the Central Plains." Li Xuanying said: "I heard that in order to usurp the throne of our Li family, Wu Zetian made Buddha statues carved according to his own face to elevate his sacredness - you see, everyone actually does. ”

"Then that's not surprising." Zhu Wenkui agreed.

"yes. I've seen a portrait of your grandfather. That face, probably ......" Li Xuanying pursed her lips and gestured on her chin: "It's just, it's probably like this......"

"Looks completely different from you." Li Xuanying looked at Zhu Wenkui and appraised.

"Ah......h

"That's for folk propaganda." Guo Kang said: "The people of the Central Plains believe that people with the destiny of heaven will look different. But I don't know why I made a fuss about my face......"

"I guess it's the face that's the most obvious." Li Xuanying thought for a while and said, "What is the vision of Han Gaozu?" There's a mole on your thigh, right? But you see, how do you show that to everyone? ”

"The portraits of the emperor are all wearing crown robes and sitting upright. If Han Gaozu wants to show people his intentions, he has to make an opening, and then lift the hem so that he can show his thighs to everyone. This isn't very elegant......"

"Well, I don't think anyone will want to see Han Gaozu show his thighs......" Guo Kang said helplessly.

"That's right, then you can only sacrifice your face." Li Xuanying said.

Guo Kang nodded, but if you think about it carefully, there are hidden dangers in this way.

"On the European side, there seems to be a person with a big chin." He reminded.

"Yes?" Li Xuanying didn't seem to pay attention.

"It's not obvious yet, but with the continuation of consanguineous marriage, in another one or two hundred years, it is estimated that it will be very conspicuous." Guo Kang pondered and said: "Originally, except for the genetic disease itself, there was no problem. But now...... It is also not known if they will falsify the pedigree. ”

"Pretending to be a descendant of Taizu?" Zhu Wenkui didn't seem to have considered this possibility at all, and was taken aback.

"That's right, Daddy is running around Europe now, and he likes to come into contact with the middle and lower classes." Guo Kang frightened him and said: "Now in European countries, the contradictions between the nobles and the people are very serious, and many people have long wanted to rebel. It's not that they don't have this mind, it's just that they couldn't make trouble because of their poor organizational skills before. ”

"Not only did we in Rome give them an example of how to organize, but we also probably gave them a better reason to make a claim."

"Europeans believe in blood, and if you have a good bloodline, it will be easier to pull people. Therefore, they are also likely to pull an ancestor who is far away and cannot be verified well, but has a high reputation. It would be even better if this ancestor had similar deeds - think about who is the most suitable. ”

"You don't even need to be really related, you can claim that your ancestors are the righteous sons you received back then." Li Xuanying pointed to Jieshika and the others who were leading the way in front of him, and said with a smile: "You see, they have already started, and there will definitely be more and more in the future." ”

"I think it may not take too long, at most one or two generations, and the whole of Europe is full of descendants of the second prince Zhu rebelling."

"That's right. I also think that with the current ghost, the peasants on the side of the HRE will definitely start a large-scale uprising in the future. Guo Kang said: "Maybe when the time comes, it will be the right cloth of the Rhine, carrying a three-foot sword, in order to win the world." ”

"Ah......" Zhu Wenkui was completely dumbfounded.
