Chapter 837

This NIMA... More than three million people died in a war. Anyone who listens to it will feel numb in an instant!

Rome's population has always been small, up to nearly 20 million. If we count the number of citizens alone, it is even less. It is like bleeding heart and mouth to die 10000 people. If 300000 citizens die, it is unknown whether Rome can continue to exist.

At that moment, most people in the parliament hall opened their mouths and looked shocked.

The news is olus Setus Cicero came back. They were willing to believe that people as envoys did not dare to talk nonsense. It must be something that really happened. That would be terrible.

"So..." Helena couldn't help asking, "the angel just said that the puppet Yan country was destroyed. Can you tell me how many people died in that war?"

"More than 200000 people died directly in the war to destroy the country." Wang Meng was Liu Yan's personal secretary Lang at that time. He was able to watch the number of war casualties: "the population indirectly killed in the war is not easy to calculate."

There is one thing Wang Meng didn't say. In the war of extermination with the Jie nationality, the soldiers on both sides died on the battlefield are an absolute minority. The number of people killed by race accounts for the absolute majority. Hundreds of thousands of Han people alone died. The number of non soldiers killed by the Jie nationality, Qiang nationality, di nationality and zahu nationality is more, and the number of soldiers killed by both sides only accounts for about 200000.

Later, the heart of the Capricorn family was completely broken, but it was related to the survival of the race, or let the Capricorn people not surrender easily. A war of extermination has not ended yet. As a result, the people with blue eyes in the territory of ordinary Han have been completely unlucky. When they see one, they are definitely caught.

The war of extermination was bloody. Ran min made his first move in the Han army system. It was a move that never happened for hundreds of years, or did he kill hundreds of thousands of people at one time. At the beginning, it was just killing Capricorn people. Who resisted and killed who, also completely left a mark in the history book.

The army of Murong Yan state resisted firmly in the war to destroy Yan. Unfortunately, it tasted the terror of firearms for the first time. Then, the Han army came with high morale with repeated victories. Only so many Murong Yan troops died on the battlefield and so few casualties of the Han army.

"Compared with the war on our side, the war in the Far East is more... Cruel." Helena originally wanted to use the word "bloody". She had seen dead people, and dozens of hundreds of people felt terrible. It was hard to imagine whether she would go crazy when she saw hundreds of thousands of dead people. She couldn't help asking, "is cyris a barbarian country?"

Wang Meng looked at Helena with sharp eyes and said word by word: "China has great etiquette, so it is called Summer; the beauty of clothes and seals is called China. This sentence came from hundreds of years ago."

Many books have used words with similar meanings. The most commonly used are Zuo Zhuan and Shangshu justice, but both of them are considered "fake books".

The "Fake Book" here says that later generations wrote it themselves in the name or reputation of their ancestors. For example, when Kong Yingda took out Shangshu justice, he said to find it at home, but the content in Shangshu justice has not been quoted by other classics, which is extremely abnormal.

Let's talk about Zuo Zhuan. In fact, Zuo Zhuan is a "Story Club", which tells the thoughts you want to spread one story after another. It's not clear whether those deeds happened in ancient sages. It's politically correct to spread beautiful thoughts with stories.

A little wonder is that the child lying on the ice begging for carp is filial. It's just that his head is a little difficult to use. Why not just smash the ice and melt the ice with his body temperature. How long it takes him to become ice.

There is another story of Mencius' mother moving three times. The background is that the family's life is very difficult, but they can move again and again and have a house every time. In order to let children have a good growth environment is the wish of every parent, but we must consider our own economic situation, or we have to meet a kind person every time, either send a house or don't charge rent.

In addition, there is a story about chiseling a wall to borrow light. It must be said, man, it's wrong to dig a wall. Fortunately, there are old men living next door. If there are women, even if they are not beautiful women, they constitute the crime of peeping!

"China?" Helena saw that Constantius II had not spoken, but she had infinite curiosity: "is the official name of cyris China?"

"Han, your translation is the Han Empire." In fact, Wang Meng wanted to answer the question "the central country". The question was not necessary: "cyris is the name of the cloth you wear, not the name of the original country."

The name "China" appeared very early. The word "China" was first seen in the inscription of "he Zun" on bronze ware in the early Western Zhou Dynasty, which said "Yu qizhai came to China and created the people from it". The word "China" in Chinese first refers to the Gyeonggi region in the Western Zhou Dynasty, and later evolved into the Central Plains region in the middle and lower reaches of the Yellow River in the Yellow River Basin. Outside China, it is called Siyi. The so-called "the son of heaven has the Tao and guards in Siyi". To put it simply, China is the one who lives in heaven and earth, and Siyi is the one who lives in heaven and earth.

"Just as angels call Rome Daqin?" Helena tilted her head slightly and said, "your country is a big man. Claiming China is also one of your names."

Er, it's not like that. Generally, Zhuxia claimed China with pride. He just said clearly that "except China, the rest are slag". It's not another country name, let alone the abbreviation of the country's name. This mood has been passed down, but the artistic conception has changed again and again. What has not changed is that there are only China and foreign countries in the world.

Wang Meng smiled implicitly and said he didn't want to answer Helena's wrong and embarrassing question.

Constantius II finally spoke again, but called Helena back to the high platform. He said something later, and Julian, who had been standing by the side of the passage, went to Wang Meng.

Wang Meng guessed that Helena asked too many inappropriate questions, which seemed a little reliable. The translation work should be exchanged with Julian, who was absolutely reliable. He can also have another guess that Helena's appearance is only a rehearsal, and he must see the Roman Princess many times later.

After Julian came out, he stood still and saluted Constantius II. Then he saluted the Roman parliamentarians present. Finally, he said to Wang Meng, "I will finish the translation next."

Compared with Helena who speaks Chinese with an accent, Julian's Chinese is very standard.

Julian must have got that set of pinyin annotation table and studied it very carefully.

Helena probably belongs to the kind of learning method that she has not learned in oral form in dialogue.

With the change of translation, the atmosphere also changed. There was no more nonsense of Roman parliamentarians. Only Constantius II said that Wang Meng answered or asked questions, and Julian translated.

At the beginning, the topic was just to know each other about Han and Rome. There were a lot of diplomatic words that felt hypocritical at the first hearing, such as what had been admired for a long time. The leaders of the two countries made divine friends with each other and hoped that the friendship between the two countries would last forever and create a better future together.

"Archbishop Peter will be punished by the church. He will be stripped of his identity as archbishop and will not be allowed to believe in the 'Lord'." Julian is translating Constantius II's words: "in addition to those punishments, he will be fined up to 1000, and is strictly prohibited from participating in political activities."

Wang Meng understood that even Constantius II could not personally punish Archbishop Peter. He could only put pressure on the Christian Church. He took it for granted that the punishment was too light, not to mention that the battle broke out because of Peter's stupidity, resulting in chaos in Constantinople and bloody disputes between the two great powers. It's not too late to execute. It's cheap to cut off the fat head with a knife or hang.

"My next sentence doesn't need to be translated for the time being." Wang Meng thought it over and said, "can I understand that the monarch of the Qin Dynasty has lost control and restriction on the religion?"

Julian is a stunned God. He himself is the lamb of the "Lord". He has spent money to become the Holy Son of ji1 Du1 religion. However, there are a lot of holy sons and daughters of ji1 Du1 religion. Anyone who is willing to spend money can get the identity of the Holy Son or daughter. Some noble children who want to join ji1 Du1 religion will also get the title of the Holy Son or daughter.

It must be said that Julian's faith in the 'Lord' is still very pious. He didn't know that Wang Mengqing didn't know his attitude towards faith. After listening to it, he only felt embarrassed and strange. For a time, he was stunned.

"Then, should the national credentials of the great man be divided into two parts, one for your monarch and the other for the 'Lord' of ji1 Du1 religion?" Wang Meng was not familiar with ji1 governor 1. He thought that the 'Lord' was a living man: "if so, when would he be able to see that 'Lord'?"

Julian would like to say that if Wang Meng is willing to change his faith, he is willing to help Wang Meng stab a sword at the heart. The process will bleed and suffer. It is not clear whether he can see the Lord, but he is dead.

Seeing that Julian was still stunned, the king frowned and said, "is the 'Lord' more noble than Augustus? I can see Augustus, but I can't see the 'Lord'."

Now Wang Meng has only one worry. No matter what kind of response the Han country should have to the "Lord", he can't communicate without seeing it.

"In fact... Angels can try the way of burning?" Julian said uncertainly, "maybe the Lord can receive it in heaven?"

This time, Wang Meng was stunned. He finally knew that the "Lord" only existed in the kingdom of heaven, that is, the living people couldn't see it at all. It seemed that it was unknown whether he could enter the kingdom of heaven after he died. He wondered that there was a custom of "burning" in Rome, but it might not be received by the "Lord". What's the reason?

"Ben understood that the archbishop was the spokesman of the Lord in this world." Wang Meng looked at Constantius II on the high platform with a "distressed" look, which made Constantius II feel puzzled. He looked back at Julian and said, "it's amazing and incredible that your monarch doesn't have divine power."

That's not right. In fact, there is only one phenomenon between imperial power and divine power, no matter where or which country or nation. It's not that imperial power suppresses divine power, so that rulers also master divine power, or that divine power suppresses imperial power, leading to religion controlling the country. It depends on who has more skills and ability. The difference is that the king will end in person, and the gods will not end in person. It is unclear whether the gods exist or not. Of course, it is up to the spokesperson to do things.

"In return for your kindness, I'd like to reveal something." Wang Meng's words focused Julian's attention: "in the Great Han Dynasty, the son of heaven is not only the Lord of all living beings, but also the supreme existence.", He just clicked to the end.

When Julian saw that he was really learning Chinese with his heart, he fully understood what Wang Meng wanted to express. In an instant, his eyes widened. His eyes were not only shining, but also shooting a laser.

What is more magical is that even if the Chinese embassy did not come, Wang Meng did not say those words. In history, after Julian became the Augustus of Rome, he also tried his best to control the Christian religion, became the dual holders of imperial power and divine power, and carried out a number of reforms in Rome according to his own wishes, and worked out measures to protect the equality of faith.

But Julian died after only one year and eight months, becoming the last Augustus of the Constantine Dynasty, which was replaced by the Valentinian Dynasty.

After a short conversation, Julian felt that he had gained a great deal and found his goal in life. His favor for Wang Meng suddenly burst, and his piety for the "Lord" decreased rapidly.

If you intend to master divine power, Julian must abandon piety, or how to do it in the future!

Things were a little out of the control of Constantius II. He was originally dissatisfied with Julian who left himself to have a pleasant conversation with Han envoy. Now his bad feeling increased infinitely. He endured extreme unhappiness, said something loudly, and finally left with a smelly face.

Constantius II's departure made the parliament hall fall into a "buzzing" noise again. Many parliamentarians waiting for a share of their interests shouted. It was extremely unpleasant for parliamentarians who thought it was none of their own to ignore the play.

In fact, Wang Meng didn't know what the situation was. He was waiting to be sent out of the parliament hall by Julian. When he arrived at the arranged rest place, he was still wondering why things were a bit hasty.

"Now is the best result." Julian is not in power in Rome now. He will think of Rome and pay more attention to the interests of his supreme power in Rome. He felt that making friends with the Han state was the first thing at present: "Augustus disrupted all the steps. The longer the time passed, the lower the heat."

Wang Meng was relieved. Today's affairs are really too hot. The negotiation must be full of gunpowder. It is really beneficial to the Han country to cool down the situation.
