Chapter 165: The Greek Nobles in an Awkward Situation

Guo Kang's brain hole has always been not small, and with the information bonus of the traverser, every time he releases himself, he can shock the people around him. When the Bishop of Rome heard this, he exclaimed that this son was so heretical that he must not be left behind.

Everyone is not surprised. Except for Jeanne, who couldn't react a little, everyone else didn't take it seriously.

"Look, I'll just say, isn't that enough?" Tuohuan smiled: "He knows a lot, calling him a half-immortal is not a flattery of him." ”

"Okay, okay, don't tease me, let's get down to business." Guo Kang waved his hand again and again.

"That's the right thing." Tuhuan pointed out: "What I mean is to tell my sister, don't worry about those bloodlines or anything. And even worse, I haven't said it yet. I don't really think that our mother's side is a noble bloodline. ”

"Uh, you can't say that......" Guo Kang hurriedly persuaded him to say less.

"Hey, at the beginning, it wasn't your grandfather, who kept talking about the right thing or something. Therefore, according to the rules of the Greeks, my ancestor married the daughter of an official family in order to proclaim this bird emperor. Dehuan was obviously a little unwilling: "Actually, what's the use." Wasn't the Roman Barcelus the one who was a strong soldier? There was a lot of trouble in the marriage, and I looked at it. ”

"That's not what I said." Guo Kang became serious: "What did Confucius say? 'Only the name and the instrument, not the dummy'. The things in this name are the ones that must be taken as long as they can be taken. ”

"What we lack is not force. But if there is a problem in the name, even if Tang Taizong's martial arts will be troubled for a long time, and even affect the entire Tang Dynasty. ”

"We don't have Taizong to fight, and we don't have the same level of management as Zhenguan and the famous ministers, when there are conditions, of course, we must pay more attention to the name. It doesn't cost much anyway, so why not do it? ”

"Hey, it's not like you're getting married...... anyway," Tuohuan muttered.

"It's nothing, marriage is part of politics." Guo Kang didn't care about his complaints: "And I see your father and your mother, the relationship is not bad." What are you worried about here? ”

As he spoke, he remembered what had happened before. At that time, his father-in-law seemed to have mentioned it to him once, saying that the queen's family was active again and wanted Tuhuan to continue to marry the daughter of their family. Think about it this way......

"No, you're worried about yourself, aren't you?" It dawned on him.

Dehuan was rarely speechless, and his expression became cramped. Guo Kang and Theodora couldn't help laughing, and even the Grand Lama Wang also laughed: "Tai Ji Mo should care, the queen should just mention it at the request of her family." My mother's family has this will, and I don't want to help but say that I don't want to go, but that's it. I won't say you have to marry her. ”

"yes. You're not a philosopher anyway, what are you doing with a Greek wife? Guo Kang also took the opportunity to tease him in turn.

Little Jeanna and Grand Lama Wang obviously understood, and couldn't help but laugh again. Tuhuan had heard this Socrates allusion before, and he was even more embarrassed for a while. Theodora began to look at Guo Kang meaningfully again.

Only Jeanne was still confused: "What are you talking about?" ”

"Nothing, nothing." Guo Kang hurriedly waved his hand.

The king looked at Tuohuan, and found that he was still depressed, so he looked at Theodora again. Seeing that the other party nodded, he began to give Jeanne Woman popular science knowledge.

"Socrates was the founder of classical Greek philosophy, but his wife was a well-known woman. Later, Socrates chatted with his friends and laughed at himself that all men should get married. Because if he marries a good wife, he will have a happy life; And if he marries a bad wife, then he can become a philosopher. ”

"I thought everyone knew this story." Guo Kang smiled and said, "Haven't you seen Miss Jeanna?" ”

"Well, our Tomb Sect has helped people transfer ancient books in history, and we do have a lot of books. But those books ...... I can't stand it. Jeanne said with a headache: "After reading for a long time, I can't help but want to sleep, so I have always doubted the knowledge of philosophy that helps me sleep......"

Guo Kang was speechless.

"It's okay, if you encounter something you're interested in, just read it slowly. When I was young, I didn't like to read, but now I can read what I should read. The Great Lama Wang comforted.

"As for the meaning of what they just said, it's not difficult to understand." He explained: "Our queen, the mother of Tigi and the princess, Anna Kedun, is not a direct descendant of the Valleologous family. Do you understand that? ”

Jeanne shook her head decisively.

Grand Lama Wang was a little surprised, but Theodora had already nodded his head, so he further explained: "Before we first entered the capital, the first Khan John VII married the sister of John V, an official of the Ba dynasty at that time. Because according to Roman custom, such sons-in-law had the right of inheritance. ”

"Then they marry off the princess, aren't they afraid that the inheritance will be obtained?" Jeanne asked curiously.

"Another official family, John VI, has already married his own daughter to the Ottoman Sultan Orhan." Grand Lama Wang had no choice but to tell her, "If you hesitate, it will be too late." ”

"Ah......h

"It's already good. Previously, the Queen Mother's plan was to marry her to a pirate leader in the Aegean Sea, because they wanted to find pirates to borrow ships to fight the civil war. Guo Kang said: "Although we were very grassy at that time, we were a little more formal than pirates. It's not a mistreatment of her. ”

"Oh, by the way, the princess who married Osman is also called Maria. At that time, there were two Mary Kodun at the same time. He added: "However, Mary Kodorn over there is too young, she was only 14 years old when she got married, and Orhan was 66 years old." Therefore, she is actually the worst. ”

"This age difference...... Well, we've seen a lot of it in Europe anyway. Jeanne hesitated and said, "Political marriage, I didn't go to fall in love with the old man." ”

"It's not a question of love or not." Guo Kang corrected: "The age gap is too big, which means that her children don't have much time to grow. Sure enough, when Orhan died, her only son was only fifteen or sixteen years old, and he couldn't fight his adult brother at all. In the end, all of Orhan's other sons were killed by the victorious Murad. This practice has become a habit over there. ”

At that time, the officials also had the idea of using the princess and grandson to intervene in the Ottoman court. However, Murad probably didn't take her as a threat and didn't use the knife, but just let her go after that...... Or rather, rushed back. ”

"Because at this time, we have returned to the capital. Now, her situation is even more embarrassing than those Greek nobles. ”
