Chapter 108: The Three Knots of Xi'an Mountain

"It's not like I don't support you." Theodora pointed out: "Brother Tian really does not have tens of thousands of households, but you want to borrow the words of the Son of Heaven...... There were really a lot of households in the Ming Dynasty. ”

"We're not going to rob the emperor with him." Guo Kang said: "We are learning the system of the Han land, not letting the Khan directly say that he is the son of heaven in the Central Plains." And Brother Tian's younger brother has a lot of positions, what are you fighting for with them? ”

"If the Ming Dynasty comes over and says that he is the eldest son of heaven, that's just right." He pointed to his notebook: "You see, the most troublesome thing we have now is the setting that Brother Tian is the boss." If you move easily, not to mention the Greeks, the whole of Europe may not be able to stand it, and even trigger a religious war. ”

"But the Ming Dynasty is coming, then let the Ming Dynasty beat them." He spread his hands: "Whoever thinks this is blasphemy and not pure enough, ask Zhu Wenkui and his fourth grandfather to debate the scriptures with him to see who has said whom." ”

"When the time comes, we just need to recognize them as big brothers. It's not bad this one anyway. Look, the Ming Dynasty was the eldest brother, we just hugged the thighs as the second brother, and let the heavenly brother be the third brother to ......"

"Can you still make up like this?" Jeanne had an eye-opening expression.

"Of course, I just made it up. And it's all in name – like our relationship with France, not really brothers. Guo Kang explained: "We can even say that the Ming Dynasty, Rome, and Brother Tian were united on the mountains of Xi'an - just like the Three Kingdoms script, so that the sacredness is also full." ”

"I think that can be written into drama as well." He wrote a few times, only to find that the ink had run out, so he had to shake his head: "Look, doesn't this solve the previous order problem?" ”

"That's too far away. I have to go to Mount Zion to talk about it. Theodora tried to close the conversation.

"Not the Mount Zion next to Jerusalem." Guo Kang corrected in Chinese: "It's the mountain of Xi'an Prefecture." ”

"The Xi'an Mansion of the Yuan and Ming Dynasty was the place where Chang'an City was located in the Tang Dynasty." He shook his head indifferently and said, "Jerusalem? What's that? It's just an inexplicable religious town, how can it be meaningful to have Tang Chang'an. ”

"All I know is where the crusaders are fighting." Meltem also smirked at him: "Others...... Hehe, I don't understand doctrine either. ”

"There is no doctrine." Guo Kang said with a smile: "There are many places where the crusaders fought, and they have also fought us here." Is this also what the doctrine says? ”

"In fact, they just wanted to loot some of their possessions because they needed Venetian money. If this is the pursuit of 'pure faith', then I think the purest thing is gold. He took out a round coin and threw it on the table: "Don't call it a crusader, call it a circle army." ”

The gold coin landed on the table with a thud and shook a few times.

"Okay, if you think it's okay." Theodora watched the gold stop and had given up.

"Don't worry about that. The Ming Dynasty was not a religious state, and their decisions were based on practical results. Guo Kang said: "There are some small countries around that secretly claim to be emperors, as long as they don't make trouble on formal diplomatic occasions, the Ming Dynasty will not take it seriously." Those various Yuan, it is also because they really have the Central Plains Haoqiang to support them and are willing to help them fight against the Ming Dynasty, so that the two sides are-for-tat. ”

"If we imitate the Ming Dynasty, they will be happy. Far overseas, some people spread and indoctrination, allowing the local people to learn from Huaxia and even regard themselves as Xia people, which is something worth celebrating in the values of the traditional dynasty of the Central Plains. ”

"Think about it, if a civilization attracts a large number of outsiders to imitate it, and make them think of themselves as members of that civilization, isn't that the best sign of prestige and cultural power? You see, so far, there are many people who miss the Tang Dynasty and think that they are also Tang people. What could be more proof of the splendor of a dynasty than that? The Ming Dynasty would also like to have this kind of treatment. ”

"You also have a little confidence in the Ming Dynasty." He laughed: "People are not stupid. ”

"He declares today that we Rome are outsiders, and that we will destroy the purity of culture, and we will not be able to learn and use Chinese culture; Then tomorrow he can declare that the Mongols in Monan are too nomadic to learn; The day after tomorrow, it can be announced that the people of Hebei are too Hu and cannot learn...... If it goes on like this, it won't take long for everyone to be expelled again, just like Da Song. ”

"Emperor Zhu Hongwu is not an official of the Southern Song Dynasty. It is impossible for an emperor who tries his best to bridge the division between the Han people in the north and the south without even this vision. His current successor will not be a fool either. Isn't the spread of one's own culture a manifestation of one's own martial arts? ”

"Oh, I still hope that the Ming Dynasty will call. The province is the same as now, surrounded by barbarians, and it takes a lot of effort to buy an iron pot......" he shook his head again and again.

The other people couldn't speak, and Guo Kang didn't want to chat. He found another piece of ink, hurriedly sharpened it, and then continued to work on the setting.

After a while, he had memorized these thoughts, wrote an official letter, and handed it to Jeanne.

"Take this to the Ministry of Rites. I told them, keep it low-key, but have etiquette. He said: "I know that Jeanne Jr. has an awkward relationship with her mother right now, and the royal family may not be happy to let her visit in public, but it's not a big deal." ”

"This ...... Oops, Jeanne is so much. He casually wrote it down: "She's from the Valois family, isn't she?" How many of the king's children are coming? ”

"Fourth." Jeanne replied, "She has an older brother and two sisters. But the big brothers and sisters have all died. ”

"It's okay, just know it's the fourth." Guo Kang didn't care too much: "Then let's call it Wa Siniang." Don't let Na ......"

"Don't give other foreign guests nicknames." Theodora was speechless.

"I'm really afraid I'll get confused." Guo Kang explained, and said to Jeanne: "How long do you need to live, and if there are any location requirements, just tell them directly." Also, are there important nobles accompanying you? ”

"No, it's just her." Jeanne said.

"I also thought about whether I could take the opportunity to let them connect and talk about it and solve the problem of mutual recognition. Let's go back to it. Guo Kang shook his head: "How long will she stay?" Do you need me to tell my father-in-law that there will be a banquet? ”

"No, it's better to keep a low profile." Jeanne replied, "It's just that it might stay longer." ”

"What's wrong?" Guo Kang asked.

"The royal family wants her to marry the Duke Claimant of Brittany and seize control there. She wasn't happy, so she ran over. Jeanne said truthfully: "I probably won't be going back anytime soon." ”

This time, Guo Kang was stunned.

"Why didn't you say it earlier!"

"Aren't you writing the premise......" Jeanne said weakly.

"I-" Guo Kang stood up and began to pace back and forth, he looked at Theodora, subconsciously hoping that she would make a decision, but Theodora just shook his head.

"You wrote the official document." She pointed out: "Either you want it back from her, or tell the Ministry of Rites that this doesn't count; Or you'll figure it out on your own. ”

Jeanne immediately hugged the paperwork to her chest.

Guo Kang was dumbfounded.
