sweeping the world

Chapter 842

Constantinople naturally has an arena, but because this city is still very young as a capital, in fact the arena is not only incomparable with Rome, but even with many Italian and even Gaul and Spanish arenas. The field is incomparable.

The Romans were obsessed with bloody competitions. In the early days, it was just fighting between humans and beasts. Later, fighting between humans evolved. It can even be said that the early arenas were more of a performance nature. , it became more and more exaggerated and bloody later on.

The arena has a special status in Rome, and any city must have an arena, even if it is a small arena.

There are many ways to gain the support of the people in Rome, but holding gladiatorial fights in the arena is the most direct and effective way, and there is no one.

According to Roman customs, the existence of the arena has another purpose. It is to hold a grand gladiatorial fight to please the gods. The more bloody and exciting the process of the gladiatorial fight, the more the gods who want to please will try their best to protect them.

Fun with killing and gore?If there is such a god, it is estimated that they will be classified into the camp of evil gods, so do the Romans belong to the religion of the evil order?
Killing to please the gods of belief has always been accompanied by the history of the Romans. Even if the religious belief is replaced by Christianity, there will be no less gladiatorial fights that should be held once, and a new sacrifice method has even been invented. , that is burnt to death.

In the past, the Romans usually executed people by crucifying people, causing the person to be killed to bleed too much and die.

Jesus was nailed to the cross by the Romans. After waiting for a few days for Jesus to survive, the Romans sent soldiers to give him a decisive blow with spears.

According to the records of the Romans themselves, they admitted that Jesus died and was resurrected later. They could not figure out what happened, so they speculated that Jesus had a twin brother, or that Jesus did not really die and was probably in a shock coma. Woke up again later.

Of course, later Constantine I began to support Christianity and made revisions to many historical records. It was not because he didn’t want to cover up the fact that the Romans killed Jesus, but he really couldn’t cover it up. There is a reason for the beautification of the direction of the traces to show the conversion of the Romans.

"So, Christians will appear at the scene?" Cai Mian frowned and looked at Julian, and said displeasedly, "If they make inappropriate remarks again, we won't have any patience."

When the Han people came to Rome, the first official visit caused Christianity to develop in a bad direction. Until now, Christianity still has not formally apologized to the Han Dynasty, and there are even rumors that Peter did not After being dismissed from his post, the fat man who caused trouble not only lived a good life, but was also regarded as a hero.

In the city of Constantinople, the traces of chaos that day have not yet been cleared away, and even fighting still occasionally occurs.

厮杀是基1督1教1徒与其他信仰的人起了冲突，基本上先动手的就是基1督1教1徒，不得不让汉人怀疑罗马的官方压根就管不住基1督1教。

"I don't have the power to stop them from coming." Julian smiled wryly when he came, and he has been smiling wryly all the time. He hesitated and said: "I will try to arrange their location as far away from you as possible, and they will I have promised not to take the initiative to provoke, please exercise restraint."

Cai Mian raised his eyebrows and let out a "hehehe..." laugh, but did not give Julian a formal reply.

That's all Julian said, he didn't expect people including Han people and Christians to listen to him, it was because the organizers clarified their position, which basically meant that they didn't help each other.

"That day on your side..." Julian stopped smiling bitterly and changed to a serious expression: "Take the bravest warriors as possible."

Cai Mian nodded, giving Julian a smile for the first time since meeting today.

On the first day of the arrival of the Han Dynasty envoys, they started a battle. Not to mention killing hundreds of Roman soldiers, Constantinople was also in chaos. The Romans would try to save face no matter how wrong .

Wang Meng had guessed before that it would be a gladiatorial fight, but the Romans never responded, but no one had forgotten such a thing, and they had been waiting for the Romans to find a place.

"In addition..." Julian looked like he was hesitating to speak, and waited for Cai Mian to show his impatient expression before saying, "I have decided to ask Augustus to marry Helena."

Cai Mian was obviously stunned.

The news about Rome's desire to marry Han was that Julian told Wang Meng, but the Roman government has not yet taken any action.

It was also Julian who told Rome that Helena would be chosen to marry. What I have to say is that the Han people have not done nothing. They have been inquiring about Helena in private. In a series of news feedback, at least the Romans have no opinion on Helena. Not bad, and there is no shortage of people who praise it.

"No..." Cai Mian really didn't react: "What do you mean?"

"There are many differences between Rome and Seris, and there are obviously great differences in culture and social customs." In his heart, Julian actually ate flies, not because of the rot in Helena's life, but because he absolutely did not want to take the blame: "I I just learned about some customs of Siris, such as the importance of maintaining chastity."

Cai Mian remained calm on his face, but he was a little dazed in his heart.

Does Zhu Xia pay attention to that membrane?That's not easy to say.

However, at least for now, that membrane is important, but not that important.

The Western Han Dynasty was one of the time periods when he didn't care about that layer of film. Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty Liu Qi took in many concubines, and a considerable number of concubines lost that layer of film before marrying the royal family. Whether Liu Qi would be depressed is impossible to guess, but Liu Qi He didn't get furious just because a woman in the harem didn't have that film, and even knew that Wang Zhi was a remarried daughter, but when he wanted to make Xiaozhu the prince, he didn't care about the fact that Xiaozhu's biological mother was a remarried daughter.

There are many less well-known examples. In short, during the Western Han and Eastern Han Dynasties, Zhuxia really didn't pay attention to women's film, but it doesn't mean that they didn't care who their wives messed with.The so-called indifference refers to not looking into the relationship before marriage, but still caring about the loyalty of the partner after marriage.

Influenced by the Western and Eastern Han Dynasties, it must be said that there is no such thing as a "body check" in the royal family. On the contrary, some gentry of the people attach great importance to this. .The same point is that the Western Han Dynasty, the Eastern Han Dynasty, the feudal lords' wars, the Three Kingdoms, the Western Jin Dynasty and the Eastern Jin Dynasty. In this period of history, there are many examples of women in charge of the house, especially the number of royal queens and empress dowagers listening to politics behind the curtain.

When Liu Yan rebuilt the Han Dynasty, since the royal families of previous dynasties did not have such a thing, he had never encountered a concubine who was not a virgin, so naturally he did not set up that rule on purpose.

Furthermore, the war in Zhuxia has just ended. It is a social reality that there are more men than women and few women. For many people, it is very good to be able to marry a wife. The environment still maintains the concept from the Western Han Dynasty to the present, that is to say, there is no obsession with that layer of film, but it is not allowed for my mother-in-law to mess around after marriage.

Cai Mian came to his senses a little bit. If he guessed correctly, there was only one reason why Julian was like this, and that was that Helena was a complete slut, far more than just being open.

There are no relevant regulations in the Han Dynasty, but it doesn't mean that it really doesn't matter, especially for the royal family, if they accept a slut from Rome, it will be more than just a laughing stock, Julian can't bear such a big pot , even Rome can't memorize it.

"Your Highness, you need to know a fact." Cai Mian said with an almost livid face, "Because of you, the angel has written a letter back to China, reporting the Roman royal family's intention to marry."

"This is the other thing I want to talk about." Julian is very fortunate now. Fortunately, Constantius II has not proposed marriage, let alone Helena as a candidate, otherwise Helena The matter can be kept hidden for a while, but it can't be kept hidden for too long: "We are serious about the marriage with Siris."

Cai Mian just looked at Julian and didn't speak, his eyes were full of suspicion and unconcealable anger.

It is conceivable that if Julian hadn't come to tell the news about Helena, even if the Han country found out something, it would not be comprehensive. Once the Han country center decided to marry Rome, it would basically not The candidate who refused to marry was Helena.

Waiting for Han Guo to find out that Helena is a slut, that is, Helena has messed up again after she got married, and it will definitely become a big political event.From the moment the royal family married Helena, it was already embarrassing and embarrassing. If there were subsequent major political events, it would not only be as simple as embarrassing, but might even shake the foundation of the old Liu family's rule of the country.

Discovering that Helena was already a slut when she was in Rome, the only option for Han was to find Rome to settle the score, but the war did not necessarily break out like that, probably to make Helena disappear and Rome sent a new princess, Rome gave Han what compensation it considered reasonable.

Helena continued to be a slut after she arrived in the Han Kingdom. The Han Kingdom would have no second choice except to go to war against Rome, and would be ridiculed by any country and nation in the known world. It is certain that all Han people will go crazy.

"For the sake of my friendship with Siris, I am trying to resolve this matter." Julian was very aware of the seriousness of the matter.He loves Rome, and he doesn't want Rome to have an unstoppable enemy country, but it's more for his own benefit: "I invited Princess Helena to the auction..."

Cai Mian still knew that Constantius II had another daughter named Helena, but he never paid attention to or inquired about the news.

"Helena is a..." It was difficult for Julian to find another Roman aristocratic woman who was more self-conscious than Helena, but she was a little too introverted, and at the same time, she had low self-esteem because of her growing environment, but for Han Guo For a marriage, the opposite is an advantage: "How should I put it? It's as holy as a white lily!"

Cai Mian frowned again. Of course there are lilies in Zhuxia, but they are not regarded as ornamental flowers. In fact, lilies in Zhuxia are used for food or medicine.

Here again, the differences in civilizations are reflected. Julian feels that Bai Lily can be related to holiness, but Cai Mian sounds weird.

"The big man is the passive side in this matter." Cai Mian looked at Julian, and said blankly: "Whether you choose Helena or Helena, the choice is in the big Qin, and the big man may not be Accept it, and don't necessarily refuse it."

What Julian was afraid of was that Han Guo would accept it, and what was even more afraid of being blamed by himself. If it hadn't happened to him, he would be happy to be a spectator and take practical actions to gain benefits in the future.

"Maybe you shouldn't say it, but it doesn't matter to you." Cai Mian continued to stare at the uncomfortable Julian, and said slowly: "Compared to Daqin, Sasan's performance is what a great country should be like. Sha Poole II has once again sent a mission, including a hundred royal families and the noble daughters of the great nobles, who are going to Dahan..., I think you can figure out why."

Julian complained infinitely, Persian Sasanian is also a great country in the world, but what Persian Sasanian is doing is kneeling and licking Han without a bottom line, seeing that Persian Sasanian really doesn't have the dignity that a great country in the world should have.

"Shapur II clearly expressed his sincerity. The emperor can choose one or more concubines to be his concubine, and the rest of the noble daughters will be dowry." Bring treasures and wealth.He didn't hide his contempt at all: "Compared to it, Daqin...hehehehe!"

The smile on Julian's face could hardly be put on any longer, and he almost yelled, asking Cai Mian and Rome if they should fully agree to Han's whatever they want, so as to have a basis for becoming friends.

There seems to be nothing wrong with it?At least when Zhu Xia was not weakened, he demanded anything and everything from any country in the known world, but anyone who dared to refuse would be oppressed by heavenly soldiers.However, Zhu Xia's eating habits have never been ugly. Direct annexation means merging into a family, and accepting what can be given and what can be taken will also assume the responsibility of protecting the suzerain country.

Since the emergence of the tributary system, the later, the Central Plains Dynasty even gave the younger brother several times or even hundreds of times in return.

Julian left with a complicated and depressed mood.

Cai Mian explained the meeting, and said his conclusion: "As the saying goes, there must be evildoers when a country is about to perish, and there are so many evildoers in the Great Qin Dynasty."

In fact, everyone was quite speechless towards Julian. Some wondered that Julian had accepted the gift for so long and didn't give it back.

"It's just that there is no possible follow-up caused by the slut..." Dou'a always said something: "With the existence of Christianity, the result of the relationship between the Han and the Qin will be the same."
