Chapter 892: The World is Settled
Everyone present knows that. The first evil refers to the brothers Caracalla and Gaita. Today Caracalla's whereabouts are unknown. The only thing left to kill is Gaita. Liu Xin waved his hand. This is the end of the feast. All went to the Colosseum.
The Colosseum is a landmark of the Roman city. Also known as the Colosseum. The magnificent rotunda can accommodate more than 90,000 spectators at the same time. Liu Xin was amazed. But. There are now only a few hundred spectators in the front row of the Colosseum. In addition to Liu Xin's side of the civil and military ministers and the kings of the fifty-five newly independent countries. Captured officials and nobles from the city of Rome were also taken here.
Before the execution of Gaita. Liu Xin first ordered the fireworks. These colorful fireworks were originally used by the military to transmit signals. It was used to celebrate a victory or for the first time. Although it is daytime. But the colorful fireworks still amazed these kings. As for those nobles. Because I was worried about my life and death. There is no time to appreciate it.
The fireworks are over. Gaita was escorted into the Colosseum. Just a few days of hard work. Gaita seems to be ten years older. The blonde hair on both sideburns turned white. The guard threw down a broadsword. A shield. Then he retreated.
Then. Liu Xin turned to everyone and asked, "Everyone. You guys love to watch gladiators duel each other. I still like to watch gladiators fight with beasts."
And they all trembled. Liu Xin smiled. said: "Forget it. If you find a gladiator to duel with Gaita. In case Gaita wins. Isn't it a waste of a life? I have always been merciful. Let's go up against the beast."
How dare these people have any opinions. Not only no comments. I also want to praise Liu Xin a few words insincerely. It is nothing more than to say a few words about His Majesty's benevolent nature. It is an empty talk of the blessing of all the people of the world.
Liu Xin didn't care either. Hehe, smile. waved his hand. said, "Let's put it."
This is the order. Four iron gates inside the Colosseum open at the same time. Four ferocious beasts roared and rushed into the arena. Two male lions. A tiger. And a cheetah. To make the scene more thrilling. The beasts hadn't eaten for three days.
Suddenly. A man stood up and said, "Your Majesty, the Emperor of the Great Han Dynasty. It is usually fought by a warrior and a beast of prey. This. It doesn't seem like a proper thing."
Liu Xin had also done some homework before. I can't name the person though. but he knew that he was the king of Lower Germania. The provinces of Upper and Lower Germania were originally the domains of Geta. Many of the kings in the realm had a relationship with Gaita in one way or another. The king may have been a relative of Gaita.
But. Liu Xin was not angry. Nor did he blame the king for interceding on his behalf. He just said lightly: "It's not a gladiatorial show now. Rather, execute Gaita. Nature is different from usual. Besides. Rules are made by men. Now I want to change the rules. You don't have any comments."
Although Liu Xin said this with a smile on his face. But the eyes that looked at everyone were extremely sharp. Who would dare to say that there is an opinion. And even if they have an opinion. And Liu Xinken listened to them. It's too late. I only heard a terrible scream from inside the Colosseum. Everyone hurriedly watched. Gaita has been pounced on by a male lion. Cut my throat. Forthwith. The Colosseum roared like thunder. Four beasts of prey fight for the carcass of Gaita. Tear each other up. The intensity is no less intense than the battle between man and beast.
Half an hour later. The scuffle was finally decided. Each of the three beasts curled up in a corner. Only a sturdy male lion is left to enjoy this delicious meal to himself.
The scene was bloody though. But these people in Great Qin have long been commonplace. I don't even feel how stimulating. And the civil and military forces of the Han also crawled out of the pile of dead people. The same face is not afraid of color. Then. Liu Xin turned to the crowd. He said lightly: "Everyone, please see. The fight between the beasts is equally exciting. And why do you have to get people involved? In my opinion. In the future, no gladiators should be allowed to participate in the Colosseum."
He's now a man of his word. Who dares not to listen. Just because of his words. I don't know how many gladiator lives were saved. Of course. The bloodthirsty nature of the Great Qin people is difficult to change for a while. The Colosseum has never had gladiator performances since. But there were many underground gladiatorial performances. That's also something that Liu Xin can't control.
Brutally executed Geta. Liu Xin suddenly ordered the release of all the captured Roman nobles and officials. Return confiscated land and homes. All the beautiful girls who danced in the palace hall just now were also brought home by each of them. This sudden order delighted the Roman nobles, who thought they were going to die. I can't believe my ears.
Originally. Liu Xin was planning to execute all these nobles. The wife and daughter were brought back to Chang'an. as spoils of war to be distributed among the courtiers. It's just that I'm worried that it will make Ma Yun unhappy. Two came these wars from the very beginning. Liu Xin has a clear goal. It is to overthrow the rule of the Great Qin Empire. Divide this vast empire into countless small states. And not for the purpose of occupation. Right now. This purpose has been basically achieved. His strategy should also change from being tough to being gracious.
This war. The Han army not only paid heavy casualties. The consumption of various materials is also very huge. In order to make up for the loss. The property confiscated from the homes of these nobles could only be partially returned to them. But. For these aristocrats. It's nice to be able to live. Now not only got back the house and land. There is also a part of the property. That's already a bonus. Who would dare to make any more inches. Make other requests.
Three days later. Liu Xin led the army to return to the court. There was not a single soldier left in the fifty-five countries of Great Qin. It was even more convincing to the kings of all countries.
A few more days passed. The army arrives in the Parthian capital of Ctesiphon. At this time. Zhao Yun has completely defeated Arshak. Captured Ardaban. Vologis also heard the news of the Han army's capture of Rome. Fear of being hit by the Han army. I had to drag the sick body and take the initiative to go to the Han army camp to ask for guilt. was temporarily detained by Zhao Yun. As a result, Ctesiphon fell into the hands of the Han army.
Tessiphon was twice defeated by the Great Qin army. Ravaged by the Great Qin army. Later, it was still with the help of the Han army. Ctesiphon returned to Parthia. The time when the Han army was in Ctesiphon. There is no offense with Minqiu. So this time the Han army returned to Ctesiphon. More popular than Vologis & Sons.
Liu Xin entered the city after the closure of Taixi. And he didn't blame Vologis for Parthia's duplicity. Just sent a letter to Arshak. Let him come to the city of Ctesi to meet him.
Arshak though afraid. But I didn't dare not come. Fortunately, after Liu Xin met the three of them, father and son. And there is no rehashing of the old things. Just soothed them with pleasant words. At the same time, it is proposed. Divide Parthia into three. Vologis father and son each received one of them. Still with the unification of Parthia to the outside world. Internally, autonomy is exercised.
For this program. Both Vologis and Arshak disagreed. But the situation is stronger than people. I can't help you not bow your head. Aldaban raised his hands in approval. Although there is no fight for the right to inherit the throne. But I finally have a world of my own. Looking at Liu Xin again, the eyes were a little different.
Dealt with the feud between Vologis father and son. Only then did Liu Xin turn around and reprimand Liu Yu and Bian Zhang, the two daring guys. Waited until Chang'an. The two brothers inevitably had to be locked up for a few days. Although Liu Xin has always emphasized that children cannot be cultivated into flowers in the greenhouse. Have a lot of experience. But there should also be a degree. This time they ran away from home. Obviously a little too much.
At this time. The guards outside the door came to report. Said it was Aldaban asking to see. Liu Xin knew that in this arrangement. Alda Banderi is the largest. Presumably he's here to say thank you. I couldn't help but wave my hand. Let the guards let him in.
Really. As soon as Aldaban entered the door, he bowed and worshipped. Then he said, "Your Majesty the Emperor of the Great Han Dynasty. Xiao Wang has a daughter who is at a young age. May it be dedicated to Your Majesty. Serve the pillow seat. I hope Your Majesty will not refuse."
Liu Xin was stunned. Then he asked, "But the one who promised to marry Caracalla."
Old Ardaban blushed. Cheekily said: "Sure enough, there is nothing that can be hidden from Your Majesty. It's this woman. This woman ......"
Liu Xin waved his hand. Turning to Liu Yu, he asked, "Yu'er. I heard that the girl and you came all the way. You should know her temperament and physiognomy. Is it appropriate for her father to marry her? Not beat around the bush. Don't hesitate."
Liu Yu scratched his head. Hesitantly: "This. This one. The kid just felt a little awkward."
Liu Xin laughed and said, "I just try you. It's enough to have your mother, a few of them. Where will I go to the flowers and grass again. Ardaban. Thank you for your kindness. Keep your good daughter and marry someone else."
Aldaban was disappointed. Suddenly I saw Liu Yu on the side. Got an idea again. Hurriedly bowed down and said, "Your Majesty. I don't know His Royal Highness the Prince, he ......"
While talking. Another pro-guard came to report. It is said that it is an emergency military situation from Chang'an. Liu Xin waved his hand. Said: "Ardaban. I have something to do. I won't leave you anymore. Stand down."
Aldaban helpless. I had to give up.
Original. This is the good news sent by Ma Yun. Wei Yan defeated the allied forces of Goguryeo, Fuyu, Mahan, and Chenhan in Liaodong. Beheaded more than 100,000 levels. The king of Goguryeo was afraid. Bound to the righteousness of the koji to surrender. Willing to bow down to the Great Han. Ma Yun immediately ordered Lu Yi to be executed in Chang'an Street. and punish its nine tribes. Such cruel punishments have been abolished in the statutes of the Han Dynasty. But for traitors and traitors . Ma Yun will never be soft. The news is out. Fuyu and other countries have come to vote. Willing to emulate Goguryeo and call the courtiers. Ma Yun will be all right.
For a long time. Liu Xin has always hoped to eliminate foreign enemies. Let Dahan get a peaceful development environment. Now all four are leveled. The Han Dynasty will no longer have any opponents in ten years. And after ten years of development. And what country can catch up with the Han Dynasty? Liu Xin couldn't help but look up to the sky and smile: "I wish to do it."
