The status of the Grand Priest of Constantinople in the Eastern Diocese was equivalent to that of the Pope, and even in the centuries of the decline of the Byzantine Empire, there were cases where the Great Priest did not allow the Eastern Roman Emperor to enter the church to pray until the other party repented.

Although this kind of thing will definitely not happen after the merger of Great Min and the Roman Empire, at this juncture, Li Jie still gave enough respect to the Grand Priest of Constantinople, although it had cost him a lot of energy to go to the southeastern suburbs of the city to worship the heavens, and still went to the port to greet him in person.

But seeing the cheers of the crowd, thirty-seven large ships from the Roman navy approached the shore one after another, and saw that the great priest had landed on the shore with a group of clergy, and there were other generals who had not seen any armor from the boat, and had been on the Caesarea beach, and the artillery chief Xiao Yehu breathed a sigh of relief.

However, he did not relax his vigilance, after all, the Roman Empire is still an enemy country, and he has to guard against their deception, hundreds of cannons are still staring at the Golden Horn, and there are twenty general cannons that have been turned around, and the cannons are operated by Xiao Yehu himself, pointing directly at the arriving Roman fleet, and he does not dare to relax in the slightest.

The Romans also knew the truth that people had to bow their heads under the eaves, and as soon as they came ashore, before Li Jie greeted them, Theodora I, the great priest of Constantinople, bowed down from a distance and bowed highly: "The servants of the Lord in the world pay homage to the King whom the Lord has set up in the world." ”

This title is quite ingenious, Li Jie has never converted to any religion, he is really a Taoist, because the ancestor of the old Li family is the Taoist master Laozi Li Er, but Theodora I's words vaguely classify him as a Christian, just like Constantine the Great who vaguely spread the "Milan Amnesty" in history.

People obviously did not know whether they were confused or longed to go to heaven before they died in their seventies, so they converted to Christianity, but many general histories of Christianity describe Constantine as a holy warrior who fought for Christians all his life.

Moreover, hundreds of years later, the Holy See also forged a false document that Emperor Constantine had given the western territories to the Pope, relying on this to lay the foundation for the papal state to rule the secular power, until the Renaissance more than a thousand years later.

If he should come down today, maybe he will become a great warrior of Christianity in the future, thinking secretly funny, Li Jie did not show anything on his face, and took Anna, the eldest grandson and the other concubines to return the salute humbly, bowed slightly and said.

"The King of Damin and the Roman Emperor and his wife visited the Great Shepherd."

The great pastor also took the burden of the King of Min to return the salute slightly, those Roman elders could not afford it, but there was a difficulty here, and there were some obstacles to them to salute the pagan emperor for a while, and they felt embarrassed to kneel, and they didn't know if they would offend the King of Min too lightly when they bowed, but fortunately, there was a person who set an example at this time.

With a plop, Paul, who was also wearing the robe of the Great Shepherd, fell to the ground with his body all of a sudden, and shouted loudly with a trembling voice: "Long live the Emperor of Damin, long live, long live, long live!" ”

Things were born in an instant, and the reaction of the human brain had passed, and with Paul, a large group of Roman senators, young and old sons and nobles fell to the ground one after another, and some of them had good brains and followed Paul to read two sentences of Emperor Yunyun of Damin, and those who reacted slowly simply hummed.

There were only two of the people in the group who did not kneel, and one of the Constantinople priests looked a little embarrassed, even if it had reached the point of compromise, he still did not want to make King Min the emperor of the Romans like this, and at the coronation ceremony, he also wanted to play some tricks to force Li Jie to be baptized, so as to give him the crown, but now, this plan has been half bankrupt.

The other is also an old man, with a typical Roman face, gray and short, no beard, and a big hooked nose with a sense of not being angry and arrogant, but he is much simpler than other aristocratic senators, and is also closer to the dress of the ancient Roman senate.

At first glance, this old man seemed to be not in the same group as the gorgeously dressed patriarchs, so he paid attention to this old man, and in an instant, several figures in the past appeared in his mind.

The eldest grandson Wuji, Yuan Gai Suwen, Chu Suiliang, Muawiye, and even Yang Yi, who had followed him, these people could find some shadows in the old man in Rome in front of them.

Another old fox!

This kind of person is definitely his own trouble in the future, his face is slightly gloomy, looking for a reason, Li Jie wants to suppress him, who knows that at this time, Anna next to him stepped forward with a little surprise, and shouted in surprise: "Teacher Etius, it's actually you!" ”

This person was actually Anna's teacher, but it really made Li Jie stunned, and the old man's cold face finally showed a rare smile.

"Many years ago, Her Majesty Anna was a little girl who asked why butterflies fly and why birds were so beautiful, but now she is the Emperor of the Communist Party, and she is ashamed to say that she did not teach Her Majesty anything useful."

"No, thanks to the teacher's teaching, Anna is where she is today." It seems that she has finally regained the shyness that only a girl has, and Anna actually scratched the back of her head innocently, and escaped from a timid student who saw Master Yan.

Since he was Anna's teacher, Li Jie couldn't put on a face anymore, so he had to take the initiative to say hello.

"Jie has met Mr. Aetius."

These days, some simple Greek Li Jie still learned as if he memorized words, speaking Greek is simpler than English in later generations, but this stumbling sentence made Aetius hurriedly come back to his senses, and solemnly saluted: "Don't dare to be, old man to meet Augustus!" ”

This person didn't grasp it at all, but in the last ray of divine light he looked at himself, Li Jie still captured the indescribable complexity.

This made Li Jie's heart vigilant again, but after a while, he threw the thought out of his mind in amusement, the name Aetius has calluses in his ears that he is happy to hear these days, almost half of this senate coup d'état was promoted by him, he is still Anna's teacher, how do you look at it, it is his own party, right?

As for the complexity, the Roman Empire, which has dominated the West for thousands of years, now has to bow to itself, the monarch from the East, I'm afraid it will be complicated for anyone, right?

"Your Majesty, don't delay the auspicious time!" This kung fu, Xiao Sheng, the old man of the Ministry of Rites, urged behind his back a little anxiously. After Li Jie nodded to Aetius, his eyes returned to the great pastor Theodora I made a gesture of please, and then turned around and boarded the royal car of the king of Fujian, a majestic four-wheeled chariot pulled by sixteen horses, and then nodded, and the great pastor of Constantinople also sat on the second car behind him with the guidance of the eunuch.

This time, the Romans were the talkers, and the nine hundred members of the Senate, in addition to those who had been hung up in the Eastern provinces, there were also more than 100 who supported Constantine IV, and the remaining more than 500 all came, these people owned more than 70% of the land of the Roman Empire, and it can be said that these people present were the real rulers of Eastern Rome.

They came to coronate Li Jie, which was equivalent to the entire Eastern Roman Empire recognizing Li Jie's throne.

In St. John's Cathedral, where all the utensils for enthronement had already been prepared, groups of well-known archbishops who had rushed from the territory of Damin gathered on both sides of the church, and there were silver candlesticks everywhere, and there were faint chants of maidens coming from behind, and there were many other enlightened monks such as Imam @Siran, Brahmins, and Tianzhu who embraced behind the crowd.

On weekdays, these priests really regard the clergy of other sects as enemies and treat them as the devils of the cult, but now, looking at them with their eyes behind them, these priests are pleasing to the eye for the first time.

With this in mind, more than a hundred well-known archbishops, priests, worked even harder, and each of them put on a solemn appearance and waited there.

I have to praise the status of Greek Orthodoxy in the minds of the Romans, under the rule of the Great Min for many days, and also accepted the gift of the old Xiao Sheng, but when the frame of the King of Min and the Great Pastor of Constantinople arrived, watching the Great Priest get out of the car, the tens of thousands of people gathered around were cheering violently, and the close ones were still scrambling to shake hands with the Great Pastor, so as to be contaminated with a little sacred atmosphere of the divine servant.

This is equivalent to saving face, while waving to the people near the carriage with a very close to the people, Theodora I looked at Li Jie with a slight look. The emperor changes every day! But in the end, we have to rely on the theocracy of our Lord Christ to rule the empire! Even if the king of Min from the east is not good!

It's a pity that to the disappointment of the Great Pastor, Li Jie actually didn't seem to see the huge influence of his Great Pastor, and still walked straight to the church.

He knew that Li Jie had made up his mind, once he controlled the situation in Constantinople, he would migrate from West Asia to the Balkans on a large scale, and the Roman emperor was more stupid, in order to maintain temporary stability, he pressed all the spiritual sustenance on Christianity, resulting in the suppression of divine power in later generations, and China has always paid attention to the art of balance, Li Jie's idea is to dilute Christianity with other religions, and when the time comes, whoever is obedient will support him, and he will not worry about this group of gods.

Thinking about it, Li Jie had already walked into the church at the front, on both sides, the Greek girl in a white dress kept throwing flower petals from the basket on him and the queen eldest grandson weaving, Qin Concubine Anna's body, on the altar offering table, the golden and dazzling crown was already close at hand.

It symbolizes the hegemony of the world, and it is within reach, even if it is like Li Jie, a soul and worldview from the afterlife, at this time, the breathing is still a lot faster.

O Emperor!
