For the precious materials in the warehouse, Liu Ruyu confirmed the quantity again, and then signed and the ship set sail.

Half an hour later, a pair of cold hands covered Li Daozong's face, and Li Daozong, who was sleeping soundly, was awakened.

"We're in trouble, big trouble."

"What's the trouble, who dares to be an enemy of my Datang, I still have 20,000 elites in Suez, and 80,000 slave legions in Djibouti. Who is so short-sighted that they dare to make trouble for us. ”

Li Daozong was awakened but not angry at all, Liu Ruyu's face was very bad, which made him very nervous.

"I have found the Saracen crown, there is still a treasure right now, the three together represent the supreme royal power of Saracen, we already have two in our hands, how to deal with this thing. The war is over soon, and we have to give the Roman emperor an attitude, whether to stay or not to stay. ”

After listening to Liu Ruyu's words, Li Daozong also felt that one head and two were big.

"Husband, do you know what the last thing is?" Liu Ruyu is more concerned about treasures.

Li Daozong said: "I have heard that during a casual conversation, the Roman Emperor Heraclius told me that Rome, Sassan, and Saracen are all about the same, and royal power is three treasures. Rome is a double-headed eagle, a golden scepter, a crown, and a golden dagger, and the other two countries are also scepters and crowns. ”

"And the last one?"

"The Saracen Kingdom is a golden water bottle, but no one has ever seen it, and no one has described what it looks like. Even in the Saracen King City, it is estimated that only a very small number of people know about it. ”

Liu Ruyu said to herself: "It seems that there are a lot of water bottles among the treasures we got." ”

Li Daozong interrupted Liu Ruyu's thoughts: "Madam, the question at hand is whether we should keep this scepter and crown or not." ”

"I don't know. You're a man, you take the idea. ”

This pot is thrown at a level, and Li Daozong feels that he is under a lot of pressure.

After thinking for a long time, Li Daozong asked Liu Ruyu: "Where is your eldest man?" ”

"How could I possibly know that if you were going to consult with him, it would be a few months before you found him." Liu Ruyu knows very well that once Liu Mu goes out to sea, he will disappear somewhere in the sea like a fish, and it is difficult to find him.

Li Daozong asked again: "So, what should this scepter do?" ”

"You ask me?"

"Madame help me with an idea."

Liu Ruyu gritted her teeth: "If I have an idea, buy it with money." Even if it costs hundreds of thousands of gold coins, this thing will have to be sent back to Chang'an, but Rome wants to help find the last water bottle if it wants a large price. ”

"Well, today I will test the attitude of the Roman Emperor."

A gold crown weighing a few pounds and a few hundred pounds of gold is more realistic, I believe most people must like gold.

However, this is the first battle of the Tang Dynasty overseas, and Liu Ruyu believes that the Tang Emperor will definitely like the crown and scepter, not a pile of gold coins.

When it was almost noon, borrowing the temporary celebration venue of the military camp under the mountain city of Rome, the two rugby teams from the Datang Navy Division and the Datang Field Soldiers were ready to play.

Then there was the favorite horse race of the Tang aristocracy.

There are special people in charge of the horse rolls, from the Roman Emperor Heraclius to the ordinary people of Constantine, whether it is gold or silver, the popularity of the betting field has made the entire city of Constantine lively.

In every street and every tavern, there are special people who constantly report the results.

The area around the racecourse has long been crowded with water, and it is estimated that hundreds of people will be killed in a stampede alone.

Rugby is only played in half the court, and the fiery game is only used to heat up the atmosphere of the stadium.

Li Daozong poured a glass of wine for the Roman Emperor Heraclius during the transition between the ball game and Marseille: "Your Majesty, I have just received news that an object suspected of being a crown has been found in a deep well in the royal city of Saracen. ”

Hiracle took the glass with a hint of confusion.

He had thought about this problem since he began to attack Saracen, especially when the Tang Dynasty was attacking the royal city.

But at the moment, this matter is not something that he can decide alone, there is still a senate in Rome, although the senate has not discussed this issue, but in private he inquired, and it seems that it is divided into three factions.

Seeing Heraclius's silence, Li Daozong waited for a while before he said tentatively: "I don't know, what the water bottle, one of their three treasures, looks like." ”

Heraclius suddenly spoke, "That crown is a fake. ”

"Ahh

Li Daozong was taken aback, he didn't expect to hear such words.

Heraclius continued: "The water bottle is in our hands, the scepter is missing, but the crown is indeed fake, the real crown is not gold, but made of the skull of a lion and blackened copper, and later some gems were added, and a layer of gold was added, and the bones and copper are still there. ”

"Your Majesty has seen it?"

"In my treasure trove, this is a conspiracy, a conspiracy from fourteen years ago. At the time, the Saracen Kingdom did not exist, but was a group of nomadic tribes who borrowed some weapons from the empire as a pledge for their crowns, as well as gold coins. They were accustomed to ambushes and sneak attacks, and it was only by defeating the nobles of Grunesi and subduing them that they had the power to establish a state. ”

Hearing this paragraph, Li Daozong was very curious.

Heraclius continued: "They used the gold of two camels to redeem the crown, or to borrow some more weapons and food. At this time, I believed them, and they took the opportunity to capture the city without the defense of my soldiers, and then took advantage of the large amount of weapons and food in the city to capture a province of the Sasanid kingdom. ”

"It's ...... A clever tactic without shame. ”

"Yes, very clever. But because of this incident, Rome and Sassan ceased war, and then they fought and talked, and two years later it was last year, and you know what happened next. ”

Heraclius said this, Li Daozong understood everything.

Li Daozong asked again, "So, what happened to the golden crown that the soldiers found?" ”

"It's a copy of the original crown, and of course the Saracens claim that it's the original crown, and it's never been lost, and it's never pledged to Rome."

Li Daozong asked again: "What is Your Majesty's opinion?" ”

"My opinion is not important, I believe you are interested in hearing the opinion of the Senate."

"Interested."

Li Daozong must be interested in hearing that the power of the Senate is a bit too great, and it has reached a height that can resist the imperial power, and he has already written to tell Li Shimin about this.

Heraclius said: "The Senate was divided into three factions, and they had three different ideas. ”

Li Daozong said: "I want to hear it in detail!" ”
