"King Min Order! Spread the Honglu Temple Shaocheng King Xianjie Wang! ”

The long and sharp voice of the eunuch came from the moving palace, the eunuch beside the King of Min is a rare animal, this voice is particularly eye-catching, less than a moment, a young man in a red official uniform hurriedly hit the horse and rushed over, under the admiring and envious gaze of others, he got into the palace

Just past him, one shoulder seemed to be stiff, Amullie tiptoed into the car, but turned his head to find the camp guard officer and shouted: "Captain Li, this officer goes out to make a respect, come when you go, and bother the captain to inform you if you have something!"

Listening to the instructions of the young eunuch of the Shaofu, the captain surnamed Li was obviously embarrassed, and asked with great concern: "Lord Heraclius, this neighborhood is not very peaceful, or will I find two guards to accompany you?"

"No, you don't! No! Hurriedly waved his hand, Amullie's other arm patted his chest heavily and smiled: "When I didn't serve His Majesty King Min in the early years, this official was a businessman who ran the rivers and lakes, and there were patrol sergeants nearby, so it wouldn't be in the way!"

Amullie said this, and Captain Li obviously couldn't delve into it, so he had to arch his fist, lead a horse and quickly leave the Chinese army, along the way, Amuliel's fat and oily face was blue.

About a stick of incense, Amu Lie came back in a hurry, and after saying hello to the lieutenant surnamed Li, Fang Cai went into the mobile palace again, but happened to meet Wang Xianjie holding the talisman and walking out with excitement.

This person is the eldest son of Feng Pavilion's first assistant Wang Xuance, and he is the same as himself at a young age, what can make him so excited? A wisp of doubt flashed in his eyes that were squeezed into a slit, but Amulie didn't bother to pursue it, and hurriedly rushed into the palace.

In the imperial study, Li Jie seemed to have just finished something, and his brows were tightly fixed on the huge sand table, and a piece of red "pork belly" outside suddenly broke in, and it was buckled on the ground with a chirp.

"Your Majesty, Princess Anna has been wronged!"

Just ordered Anna to be placed under house arrest, and someone went to the palace to shout injustice, and Li Jie, who was already ashamed, couldn't help but have a cold face.

…………

The sun has not risen to the top, and the moon is resting, just when the army of Fujian is marching to Edessa with all its strength, another army is also in a hurry, the golden double-headed eagle flag is really like spreading its wings and fluttering, floating on the head of the army, and the neat and orderly Roman legions are also marching at great speed.

Compared with the Roman legions that conquered the Western world hundreds of years ago, the Eastern Roman army at this time has been unrecognizable in terms of appearance and organizational structure, first of all, the iconic large square shield of the ancient Roman legions has disappeared, replaced by round shields and kite-shaped shields learned from the barbarians, and the striking ring armor of Rome has also been replaced by chain mail, and due to the military division of Heraclius, the legion equipment has changed from unified equipment to self-provided and slightly messy.

Even the Roman dagger was replaced by the barbarian longsword and spear, which the Romans once despised.

However, in the seventh century AD, the army of Eastern Rome still retained a bit of the style of the ancient Roman Empire, and the Macedonian legions of Thrace and Macedonia were still quite combat-ready brigades, followed by tens of thousands of Slavic barbarians and Bulgarian infantry cavalry, and the heavy axes of the barbarians were quite deterrent.

However, the Roman emperor did not enjoy it as much as Li Jie, the king of Fujian, and Constantine IV, who was considered the last generation of heroes, could not imagine Genghis Khan's huge felt palace hundreds of years later and copy it into his own mobile palace, even if Constantine IV rode a horse against the sun.

Like Li Jie, while walking, Constantine IV also had to deal with military affairs and national affairs, especially compared with the Fujian army, the composition of the Byzantine army was more complex, and the unruly barbarian mercenaries were constantly causing trouble, which made Constantine IV, who was only in his thirties, also worried a few more wrinkles.

The administrative system of the Byzantine Empire is much simpler than that of China, imitating the Senate of ancient Rome and sometimes strong and sometimes weak, basically has bid farewell to the decision-making body, the real leader of the empire is the emperor's imperial council, which is composed of the deacons equivalent to the prime minister, the generals of the military districts, the governors of the regions, and the mayor of Constantinople and other senior officials, the whole decision-making body is very concise, the advantage is that the administrative efficiency is higher, and the disadvantage is that it is easy to be full of loopholes when the situation is complicated.

There are also more than a dozen more influential senators in the country who also follow the emperor, although the senate has become a pension institution with honorary titles, these big figures in the Balkan Peninsula are quite prestigious, and the emperor cannot ignore their opinions.

Just when Constantine IV was dizzy and irritated by several senators complaining about excessive taxation, a pigeon fluttered its wings and flew over the flag of the double-headed eagle.

Many people think that eunuchs are a deformed culture unique to China, but in fact, India, Egypt, the Arab Empire, and the Romans and Greeks, who originated from Western civilization, all have the habit of using eunuchs, which is a deformed culture of the world's group, and there is naturally no shortage of eunuchs around Constantine IV, and eunuchs also hold great power in the Roman Empire and are trusted by the emperor.

Seeing the pigeon flying by, several cronies and eunuchs immediately galloped back with their horses, looking at the pigeon, Constantine IV's heart was also filled with irritability.

At this time, the Ostrogothic cavalry of the former army galloped back with a rigorous and expressionless face, and reported loudly to the close acolytes of Constantine IV.

"Report to Your Majesty! The Fujian people came to ask to see Your Majesty! ”

"The Fujian envoy wants to see Augustus and me?"

At this juncture, anyone with a discerning eye can see that Edessa has become a powder keg spewing sparks, and millions of troops will be fighting here at any time, but Li Jie sent envoys to visit him at this time, no wonder Constantine IV was stunned.

Because there was no such good mobile palace as Damin, in order to ensure the majesty of the Roman emperor, Constantine IV had to stop and set up a camp on the spot, holding something similar to the Swedish halberd of later generations, the Gothic escort solemnly stood all over the camp, looking murderous, but the Byzantine army that was rolling forward did not stop a step.

For this "warm welcome scene", Wang Xianjie had expected it before he came, after all, he had seen a lot of big scenes with his father Wang Xuance, and the young Honglu Temple Shaocheng was not stage frightened, Shi Shiran hugged Fu Jie, accompanied by two equally cold-faced, burly and sturdy Fujian army guards, and walked into the emperor's tent of Constantine IV from under the sharp axe.

The arrival of the Min envoy was obviously a big deal, although it was necessary to give the Min people a dismount, but the main staff of Constantine IV, the deacon chief Marmagnius, the * official Morbius, the generals Olesikin, Mezchos and more than a dozen heavyweight senators were all there, and the room was crowded.

Although his head was wrinkled, he was as old as a fifty-year-old man, Constantine IV still tried his best to show the arrogance of a young man, arrogantly sitting on the emperor's chair and holding his arms, the Roman emperor was noble, like the Chinese Son of Heaven easily did not talk to his subordinates, so after Wang Xianjie held the talisman and saluted, Constantine IV did not say anything at all, but was asked arrogantly in Greek by the attendants.

"What is the purpose of your King Min in sending you to see Augustus? Could it be that you have come to surrender knowing of your sins against Augustus? ”

Although they knew that it was impossible, a group of patriarchs still laughed a few times, and even Constantine IV himself showed a slight smile on the corner of his mouth.

As an official of Honglu Temple, in charge of foreign guests, envoys and other things, he naturally won't understand Greek, one of the mainstream languages, but he is not annoyed, powerful people never need to use boasting to increase their worth, shaking the next Fu Jie, Wang Xianjie also replied in proficient Greek without humility or arrogance.

"My King Min sent his subordinates to tell the Byzantine Emperor that King Min must get Edessa!"

"Did the king of your family say that he must also get Constantinople?"

The confidence in Wang Xianjie's tone obviously made many Byzantine magnates feel uncomfortable, listening to his tone, as if he was stating an established fact, just to tell you the Romans, there was no attitude of asking for advice, and the official Morbius who listened couldn't help but ask angrily.

But with a few angry words, who knew that Wang Xianjie really thought about it seriously, and then shook his head.

"My king should have no interest in Constantinople."

The fluttering attitude in the tone, as if taking Constantinople is also an easy thing for Great Min, the King of Min just doesn't want to take it, this attitude of Constantine IV is itchy at the root of his teeth, and he can't wait to jump up and curse Wang Xianjie.

But at this juncture, Wang Xianjie's next sentence made the Byzantine magnates in the tent breathe a little faster, and they were still so humble and not arrogant, Wang Xianjie continued to explain very calmly.

"Because the king of Min sent his subordinates this time to negotiate with the Eastern Roman Emperor on the terms, if the Eastern Rome is willing to cede Edessa and withdraw the army, and pay 500 talantes of gold to the Great Min every year, my King Min is willing to use Antioch as the border to sign a permanent peace agreement with the Eastern Roman Empire."

"And!" Speaking of this, Wang Xianjie especially aggravated his tone, and solemnly promised: "Your Majesty is also willing to swear to God with Her Royal Highness Anna, Concubine Min of Qin, that the descendants of King Min and Her Royal Highness Anna will give up the inheritance of the Eastern Roman Empire!"

Constantine IV was breathing a little rougher, and the hearts of the rest of the important ministers and the elders also beat faster, and everyone's eyes converged on Constantine IV in an instant............
