Chapter 842

Naturally, there is an arena in Constantinople, just because this city is still very young as the capital. In fact, the arena can not be compared with Rome, even with many arenas in Italy, Gaul and Spain.

The Romans were obsessed with bloody sports. In the early days, it was only people fighting with wild animals. Later, it evolved into fighting between people. It can even be said that the early arena was more performance, and the later it became more exaggerated and bloody.

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

In Rome, there are many ways to get people's support, but holding a fight in the arena is the most direct and effective way, and there is no one.

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

Fun with killing and blood? If there is such a God, it is estimated that it will also be divided into the camp of evil gods. Do the Romans belong to the religion of evil order?

Killing to please the gods of the faith has always been accompanied by the history of the Romans. Even if the religious belief has been replaced by jiyidui, there will be no fewer fights, and even a new method of sacrifice has been invented, that is, burning.

In the past, the Romans usually nailed people to the cross to make the person to be killed bleed too much and die.

Jesus was crucified by the Romans. The Romans waited for a few days. Jesus did not die, so they sent soldiers to take spears and give him a clean blow.

According to the Romans' own records, they admitted the story of Jesus' resurrection after his death. They don't understand what happened. They guessed that Jesus had twin brothers, or Jesus didn't really die. He should wake up after shock and coma.

Of course, later, Constantine I began to support fundamentalism and Christianity and made modifications to many historical records. He didn't want to cover up the Romans' killing of Jesus, but he really couldn't cover it. It could only beautify it in the direction of miracles to show that the Romans had reason to change their faith.

"So, the people of ji1 governor 1 church will appear at the scene?" Cai Mian frowned at Julian and said unhappily, "if they make any more inappropriate remarks, we won't have any patience."

When the Han people came to Rome, their first formal visit made ji1 Du1 religion develop in a bad direction. Up to now, ji1 Du1 religion still hasn't officially apologized to the Han state. There are even rumors that Peter hasn't been dismissed. The fat man who made trouble not only lives a very moist life, but also is regarded as a hero.

In the city of Constantinople, the traces of chaos on that day have not been cleaned up, and even fighting occasionally occurs.

The fight was a conflict between the basic 1 supervisor 1 religion 1 disciple and people of other faiths. Basically, the first person to start was the basic 1 supervisor 1 religion 1 disciple. The Han people had to doubt that the official of Rome could not control the basic 1 supervisor 1 religion at all.

"I have no right to stop them from coming." Julian smiled bitterly and always smiled bitterly. He hesitated and hesitated and said, "I will arrange their position as far away as possible from you. They have promised not to take the initiative to provoke. Please also exercise restraint."

Cai Mian raised his eyebrows and laughed "ha ha..." without giving Julian a formal reply.

Julian just said that. He didn't expect those people, including Han people and ji1 Du1 religion, to listen to himself, just because the sponsor clarified his position, which almost means that the two don't help each other.

"Your day..." Julian stopped smiling bitterly and changed to a serious expression: "take the bravest warriors as far as possible."

Cai Mian nodded and gave Julian a smiling face for the first time since we met today.

On the first day of their arrival, the Chinese Embassy launched a battle, killing hundreds of Roman soldiers. Constantinople also fell into chaos. The Romans would want to recover their face even if they were unjustified.

Wang Meng had guessed that it would be carried out in the form of fighting, but the Romans had never responded, but no one had forgotten such a thing and had been waiting for the Romans to find a venue.

"In addition..." Julian looked like he wanted to stop talking and waited for Cai Mian to show an impatient expression before he said: "I have decided to ask Augustus to marry Helena."

Cai Mian was obviously stunned.

The news that Rome wanted to marry the Han state was that Julian told Wang Meng that in fact, the Roman authorities had not made any action.

Julian also told Rome that it would choose Helena to marry. It should be said that the Han people didn't do anything. They have been asking about Helena in private. In a series of news feedback, at least the Romans rated Helena well, not to mention the lack of praise.

"No..." Cai Mian really didn't respond: "what do you mean?"

"There are many differences between Rome and Cyrus, and there are obvious differences in culture and social customs." Julian's heart is actually like eating flies. It's not the decay of Helena's life, but that he absolutely doesn't want to bear the black pot: "I just learned some customs of cyris, such as attaching great importance to maintaining chastity."

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

Do Zhuxia pay attention to that film? That's hard to say.

However, at least so far, that film is important, but it is not so important.

The Western Han Dynasty was one of the times when he didn't care about the film. Emperor Liu Qi of the Han Dynasty received many concubines. A considerable number of concubines lost the film before marrying the royal family. Liu Qi was depressed and had no way to guess. But Liu Qi didn't get angry because a woman in the harem didn't have the film. He even knew that Wang Yu was a remarried woman, but when he wanted to make a little pig prince, I didn't care if the pig's biological mother was a remarried woman.

There are many unknown examples. In a word, in the western and Eastern Han Dynasties, Zhuxia really didn't pay attention to the film of women, but it doesn't mean that they didn't care who their wife fooled around with. The so-called neglect means that you don't care about your partner's loyalty before and after marriage.

Under the influence of the western and Eastern Han Dynasties, it must be said that there is no "self-examination" in the royal family. On the contrary, some civil gentry attach great importance to this. The problem is that they attach importance to it. On the other hand, they do not exclude the acceptance of married and remarried noble women. The same thing is that in the Western Han Dynasty, the Eastern Han Dynasty, the chaos of the princes, the coexistence of the Three Kingdoms, the Western Jin Dynasty and the Eastern Jin Dynasty, there are many examples of women in charge of the family, especially the queen of the royal family and the Empress Dowager.

Liu Yan built the Han state again. Because there was no such thing in the royal families of previous dynasties, he did not encounter an imperial concubine who took in a woman's body. Naturally, he did not deliberately set up that rule.

Another thing is that Zhuxia has just ended the war and there are more men and fewer women. For many people, it is very good to marry a mother-in-law. There is no condition to care about whether there is that layer of membrane. In the general environment, the concept of the Western Han Dynasty is still maintained, that is, there is no obsession with that layer of membrane, Just don't allow your mother-in-law to fool around after marriage.

Cai Mian recovered a little. If he guessed correctly, there is only one reason why Julian is like this, that is, Helena is a full swing woman, far more than opening up.

There are no relevant regulations in the Han country, but it doesn't mean it really doesn't matter. Especially for the royal family, if you accept a slut from Rome, it's not just as simple as becoming a laughing stock. Julian can't carry such a big pot, even Rome.

"Your Highness, you need to know a fact." Cai Mian was almost livid: "because of you, the angel has written to return home and reported the intention of the Roman royal family to marry."

"This is another thing I want to say." Julian is very happy now. Fortunately, Constantius II has not proposed marriage, let alone Helena as a candidate. Otherwise, the matter about Helena can be concealed for a while and can not be concealed for too long: "we are serious about marriage with cyris."

Cai Mian just looked at Julian and didn't speak. His eyes were full of doubt and irrecoverable anger.

It's conceivable that if Julian didn't come and tell the news about Helena, even if something was found out in the Han country, it would not be comprehensive. Once the Han center decided to become a marriage relationship with Rome, it would basically not refuse to marry Helena.

Waiting for the Han side to find that Helena is a slut, that is, after Helena married, there was a mess, which is bound to become a major political event. From the moment when the royal family married Helena, it was a loss of face. There were subsequent major political events, which was not only a loss of face, but might even shake the foundation of Lao Liu's rule over the country.

It was found that Helena was already a concubine when she was in Rome. The only choice of the Han country was to settle accounts with Rome, but the war did not necessarily break out. It was probably that Helena evaporated. Rome sent a new princess, and Rome gave the Han country reasonable compensation.

Helena continued to be a concubine after she came to the state of Han. The state of Han would not have a second choice but to be ridiculed by any country and nation in the known world. It is certain that all Han people would go crazy.

"For the sake of friendship with Cyrus, I am trying to solve this matter." Julian was well aware of the seriousness of the matter. He loved Rome and didn't want Rome to have an endless enemy country. He was more for his own interests: "I invited Princess Helena to the auction..."

Cai Mian still knew that Constantius II had another daughter named Helena, but he didn't pay attention to and inquire about news.

"Helena is a..." Julian is hard to find another Roman noble woman who is more clean than Helena. She is a little too introverted. At the same time, she also has inferiority complex because of her growing environment. However, for marriage with the Han country, those opposite advantages are: "how to say? It's as holy as a white lily!"

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

This once again reflects the difference of civilization. Julian thinks that the White Lily can have a relationship with holiness, but Cai Mian sounds strange.

"The big man is the passive side in this matter." Cai Mian looked at Julian, said expressionless: "whether you choose Helena or Helena, the right of choice lies in Daqin, and the big man does not necessarily accept or refuse."

Julian was afraid that the Han state would accept it, and he was even more afraid that he would carry the pot by himself. If it hadn't been for him, he would be happy to be a spectator and get benefits later with practical actions.

"Maybe not, but it doesn't matter to you." Cai Mian continued to stare at the uneasy Julian and said slowly, "compared with the great Qin Dynasty, Sasan's performance is what a great country should be like in the world. Shapur II has sent envoys again, including 100 royal families and noble women. They went to the big man... I'm sure you can figure out what it was for."

Julian is a great power in the world. But Persia is doing nothing but kneeling down to the Han kingdom. Make complaints about Persian sage no real dignity.

"Shapur II clearly expressed his sincerity. The emperor can choose one or more of them to become his concubine, and the rest of your daughters will become dowries." What Cai Mian didn't say was that apart from the dowry girl, Persian sassanne brought treasures and wealth. He didn't hide his contempt at all: "compared with it, Daqin... Hehe hehe!"

Julian's smile on his face was really too big to hold. He almost shouted and asked Cai Mian whether Rome should fully agree to the plunder of the Han country in order to have the foundation to become a friend.

There seems to be nothing wrong with it? At least when Zhuxia was not weak, they demanded that any country in the known world should take whatever they wanted. If they dared to refuse, they would be oppressed by heavenly soldiers. However, the eating appearance of Zhuxia is never ugly. Direct annexation is to integrate into a family. Accepting whatever you take will also bear the responsibility of protecting the suzerain state.

Since the emergence of the tributary system, the more to the back, the Central Plains Dynasty has even given several times or even hundreds of times in return for its younger brother.

Julian left with a complicated and depressed mood.

Cai Mian explained the meeting and said his conclusion: "as the saying goes, there must be demons when the country is about to die. There are so many demons in the Qin Dynasty."

In fact, they were quite speechless to Julian. Some people wondered that Julian had not given a return after receiving gifts for so long. The other is that Julian's choice is to "sacrifice his life for justice" by marrying a vagrant woman.

"There is no follow-up that may be caused by Dang 1 woman..." Dou a always said: "with the existence of Ji 1 governor 1 religion, the communication results between the Han Dynasty and the Qin Dynasty will be the same."
