Eagle Byzantium

Hearing this question, Gawain pointed to the gray-haired girl over there easily, "All the dredging work in New Port has been handed over to this Miss Agnes Plani, the Ordnance Department of Tarsus. Undersecretary and second-in-command of the Royal Palace. She will plan to dig through the tributaries of the Sidnus River, select the newest and most convenient entrance to the sea, and then use new equipment to remove the blocked silt. "

Hercules looked at the gray-haired girl in surprise, with an expression of disbelief on his face.

"Do you look down on women?" Gawain seemed to be deliberately trying to sow discord.

But the envoy of Marash quickly shook his head vigorously, even out of diplomatic etiquette, he could not say this.

"In our Tarsus, the internal affairs of the palace and the diplomatic documents are all in the hands of a group of smart and capable female officials. Women are not just the ribs of men. They will prove their worth more and more. How to be impressive? Lacrosse, do you think my country is interesting?"

After Agnes heard Gawain's words, she couldn't help but have an unhappy expression on her face, and thought in her heart - "Previously, in the stable, she was clearly opposed to mocking the issue of equal rights for men and women, but in the blink of an eye, she pretended to be in front of outsiders. You have to be generous, simply There is no moral principle. Oh, this young man, what kind of expression are you looking at? Are you impressed by this brown bear again? Wake up, I can even tell you that your thoughts and reactions are very disturbing. It’s dangerous!”

But Hercules here lowered his head and admitted, "Yes, Your Highness, your country and your governance skills have made my trip worthwhile and eye-opening."

"Three years later, come and see the port of New St. Paul City. The Maras Chamber of Commerce, like many other chambers of commerce, can occupy the commercial port here, and the new port will soon become developed." Gao Wen extended his hand cordially and said The other party has successfully completed the mission of this trip.

"We, Marash, will have perished by then, right? Under your horse's hooves?"

These words made Agnes behind her twitch her eyebrows, and the soldiers of Tarsus quietly clenched their sword hilts. They did not expect that this young man from Ani would suddenly refuse to be with the Lord. The guarantor shook hands and said these embarrassing words.

"But Armenia will not perish. They just lost the land of Marash, but they can get more." In the wind, the patron's answer seemed very clear. He did not mean to deny it, but he added a sentence , "Hercules, I like you very much, what do you think? You are young and courageous, and have the ambition to make progress. Together with other wise men of Armenia, stop resisting me. In order to revive your true country, not in Marashi is trapped in a nest, trapped between the powers of all parties. Go. Do you live in a mountain castle? What is there? The boundless valleys, the eternal old ideas, the aristocrats who only know how to drink and fight, and the large numbers of poorly clothed poor people can even become a honeycomb. A legacy of boasting. The merchants long to see the fertile ocean, and your farmers hope to marry their daughters with dignity. As a ruler, do you have to turn a blind eye to the voice of the people? Follow me when the time is right, and I will take you to see newer, wider and more interesting things. world."

"So you are not afraid that after signing the peace agreement, the original armed group will flee across the border, because you just give them a piece of land and suitable benefits, and they will completely abandon Marash emotionally and settle in your land. . I finally figured it out. But if possible, can you tell me what Romana is in your heart?”

"It's over... this young Arnie's brain is completely over." Little Sunfish had already seen the ending and hid his face as he thought.

"Romana, it can't be achieved by strong force, magnificent buildings and majestic style. I can only express it this way, if God gives me time, I will make all the people in the pot of every family, every family. There will be a fat chicken every week. I think this is Romana." Gawain said this sentence, very simple and unpretentious. Then he tilted his shoulders slightly and stretched his slender fingers closer, his light blue eyes filled with enthusiasm and sincerity.

Hercules slowly stretched out his hand, and then quickly shook it with the Patron's, "I will no longer confuse the Patron, I will add my own strength to your Romana."

Heracles, who had cleared all doubts, returned to his kingdom. When the noble council asked him what he thought, the young man said easily, "I have brought you as much peace as I can - the king of Tarsus." Agree to our request, stop garrisoning troops in Vanka City to oppress us, and set up forays for free trade on the border, and accept the Marash Commercial Port in Tarsus City."

"Long live!" The nobles at the meeting shouted enthusiastically like thunder.

As a result, Marash categorically refused to join forces with Antioch.

Although Tancred was angry, he had nothing to do: compared to the little Marash, the biggest threat was his uncle Bohemond, who now occupied Cyprus just around the corner, and Gawain and Baldwin might join him at any time. His uncle became an accomplice in the sequence. Finally, after Tancred discussed with his confidants, he felt that the crux of the problem still lay in the ownership of the property rights of the Holy City of Jerusalem. Should it belong to St. Peter's Church or to the inheritance of the Godfrey family?

If Patriarch Sambel succeeds in turning the Holy City and the entire territory into the Pope's territory, then he will be saved - Baldwin will lose any reason to declare war on Jerusalem under the oppression of the Roman Catholic Church, and his Antioch will be saved in a chain reaction. At most, he will donate some of his land and city blocks to the Holy See. If Bohemond attacks, he will be cautious.

Just as Tancred was negotiating day and night in Antioch, his uncle Bohemond took the lead, but did not mention the ownership of Antioch. Instead, he directly accused Patriarch Sambel of Jerusalem. In the letter sent to the Cardinals' Conference of the Vatican, Bohemond called Sambel "greedy" and "unjust", "embezzling the donations of Christians from all over the world to the Holy City and St. John's Hospital, and locking countless money in his private safe as a treasure and squandering it himself."

Before the Pope and the Council of Cardinals could make an investigation and ruling, Anselm, the Patriarch of Tarsus under Gawain, suddenly proposed an impeachment against Sambel, saying that he was greedy, "occupied several gates of Jerusalem, set up checkpoints to exploit pilgrims", "extorted the knights of the banners originally conferred by Godfrey", and had the bad behavior of privately selling the positions of the priests.

A perfect version of the book in 1619!

In the face of the impeachment one after another, Pope Eugene of the Holy See could not take it lightly. He called a cardinal named Maurice and gave him a task, "It takes about ten days to travel from Rome to the Levant by boat, and you will be given another twenty days to form a fair investigation report, plus the time to reply. After forty days, I want to get the truth of the Sambel incident."
