Chapter 2411 The delusional Cicero
Chapter 2408: The delusional Cicero
Wang Jian gave Yue Yun and others a reassuring look, which made Yue Yun and Xue Dingshan overjoyed.
Immediately afterwards, Cao Zhengchun called out their names, and it was obviously their turn to go out to accept the enthronement.
Yue Yun was promoted from a side general to a title general.
Xue Dingshan was promoted from the lieutenant to the miscellaneous general.
Both of them were promoted two levels in a row, but Yue Yun was still one level higher than Xue Dingshan.
Generals such as Mi Houwang, Chen Dao, and Chen Tang were also promoted, and at least one level was promoted.
As for the founding marquises such as Lu Bu, Zhao Yun, Huang Zhong, Dian Wei, Xu Chu, and Gao Shun, their titles and official positions are not low, so the promotion is naturally not large, but the fief increases from 1,000 to 3,000.
Lu Bu and Zhao Yun both reached the level of Wanhuhou.
After the enthronement was over, Ying Hao announced in public that generals such as Lu Bu, Dian Wei, Xu Chu, and Huang Zhong would not have to return to Yingzhou.
Now the situation in Yingzhou has been settled, and there is no need for so many powerful generals to guard it. It is a waste of talents for them to continue to stay in Yingzhou. It is better to transfer back to China.
However, Zhou Yu and Zhao Yun are still going back. After all, one of them is the commander-in-chief of Yingzhou and the other is the commander of the Dragon Cavalry. Yingzhou is still inseparable from them.
After some thought, Ying Hao decided to transfer Longyang, Meng Yi, Ren Bi, Ying Hua, Ying Qian and other generals to replace Lu Bu and other generals to guard Yingzhou.
Zhao Yun, Long Yang, and Mi Houying, with these three war gods, including Zhou Yu and Qin Zheng, as well as 80,000 elite troops and more than 100,000 surrendered troops, it is enough to ensure that Yingzhou is as stable as Mount Tai.
"Your Majesty, Cicero, the envoy of the Roman Empire, has been waiting outside the hall for a long time." The diplomatic secretary Zhang Yi stood up and said.
"Um."
Ying Hao nodded and said lightly, "Come in."
“Abide by the order.”
"Your Majesty has an order to promulgate the Roman envoys to see you."
The guards shouted loudly, passing one by one until they reached the waiting place where Cicero was a thousand meters away.
Looking at the voice transmission posture of this person passing by, Cicero''s mouth couldn''t help but twitch.
He knew that the etiquette of the Qin Dynasty was more complicated than that of Rome, but he did not expect that the pomp would be so great. He could only say that he was a great power in the East.
Seeing that Cicero did not move, Chen Pingping pointed to the direction of the hall and said lightly: "Roman envoy, please, you can''t let the emperor wait for a long time."
“Oh, OK.”
Cicero looked at the guards on both sides as he walked, and saw that everyone had a solemn expression, wearing heavy armor, holding sharp blades, but he didn''t even move.
"Elite in a hundred battles."
Cicero gave a four-character evaluation in his heart, then shook his head, and walked into the hall without thinking too much.
As soon as he walked in, the eyes of the ministers in the hall focused on him.
Cicero was not nervous, and smiled calmly and knelt down and bowed, "Cicero, the envoy from the Western Roman Empire, see the great Emperor of Qin."
"The messenger is exempted from courtesy." Ying Hao said lightly.
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Ying Hao didn''t say anything nonsense, and asked straight to the point: "What''s the matter with the messenger coming to the Central Plains from the extreme west?"
Cicero couldn''t help but be stunned. Why didn''t this emperor play according to the routine? He was also going to praise the other party''s achievements first, but how could he flatter him after doing this?
If you don’t have any preparation and just ask for the Holy Sword, the possibility of success is obviously not high.
"Dear Emperor, this is true. There was a fugitive in Rome who not only planned to rebel, but also stole the national treasure holy sword. After failure, he fled to the east.
This holy sword is of great significance to Rome and must not be left out. Therefore, the great Roman emperor asked his country to go to his country to send his mission to him, hoping to bring the holy sword back. ”
As soon as Cicero finished speaking, Ying Hao laughed and said to the bottom: "Master of Phoenix, the Roman envoy said you were a fugitive and had stole the national treasure of Rome. Do you have anything to say?"
Arthur stood up and said coldly: "Rome has always been shameless and good at turning black and white, and there is nothing to say at the end."
Cicero couldn''t understand the meaning of these two idioms, but after seeing Arthur, he looked shocked and asked uncertainly: "Are you Arthur Pandragon?"
"Cicero, what, don''t you know me anymore?" Arthur said coldly.
It’s not that Cicero couldn’t recognize Arthur, but when Arthur was forced to leave Europe, he was still a 16-year-old young girl. He was only 1.54 meters tall, he looked a bit young, and had flat breasts, completely like a tomboy.
Now Arthur is twenty-five years old and has grown to 1.8 meters tall. After losing his youthfulness, his appearance tends to mature.
Her blonde hair shawl, **** and long legs, a convex figure, a heroic posture, mature and sexy, charming and seductive.
Nowadays, Arthur and Cicero are completely different from each other, so he didn''t recognize him.
Cicero knew that Arthur had become the general of the Qin Dynasty, but he did not expect Arthur to have such a high status in the Qin Dynasty.
There are hundreds of officials in the Qin Palace Hall, but only Arthur is a foreigner, and she is also a woman. This does not mean her status.
Cicero thought it was not good and hurriedly said, "Arthur, for the sake of the Qin Dynasty, Rome may not pursue the crime you have committed, but you must hand over the holy sword, it is not something that belongs to you."
"Just, the Holy Sword does not belong to me, does it belong to Rome? Besides, the Holy Sword is the Holy Sword of Britain, what does it have to do with you Rome?"
"Why doesn''t it matter? Britain is now a province of Rome. The holy sword belongs to Britain, so it naturally belongs to Rome."
"Hmph, Rome launched an unjust war and forcibly annexed Britain. The people of Britain will never succumb to your tyranny. Sooner or later, they will expel Rome." Arthur said angrily.
Cicero smiled as if he had succeeded in his conspiracy and said, "In that case, you also admit that Britain is now a province of the Roman Empire, and the holy sword is naturally Roman things."
"you…"
Arthur showed an ugly look, and before he knew it, he fell into Cicero''s language trap, and he didn''t know how to refute it for a moment.
At this moment, Ying Hao above said, "The messenger''s words are wrong. Britain is not a province of Rome. I believe the envoy should be clear in his heart."
Cicero was stunned when he heard this, and looked at Ying Hao''s joking eyes again, and a huge wave suddenly burst into his heart. How is that possible?
How could he know?
The Roman Empire dispatched 600,000 troops to attack Macedonia, but was wiped out by Alexander''s entire army. After that, it fell into pieces, and Britain was among the independent provinces.
This is well known in the West, but no one in the East thousands of miles away will know about this.
But the emperor of Daqin knew this, what does this mean?
It shows that the Emperor of the Qin Dynasty noticed Europe thousands of miles away and sent people to collect information from Europe.
As soon as he thought of this, Cicero only felt a chill on his back, and Ying Hao''s image in his heart became increasingly unfathomable.
Ying Hao naturally did not send people to Rome. The reason why he knew the situation in Rome was just because of the system''s world map function.
As long as the world map function is available, Ying Hao can understand the global situation even if he doesn’t leave his home.
Not only Cicero, but also Arthur and Jia Xu''s hearts were also filled with shock at this time.
Arthur was shocked that Britain could actually become independent by itself.
Jia Xu, who was in charge of the intelligence department, was shocked that in addition to the Black Ice Platform, His Majesty the Emperor secretly had other intelligence agencies, otherwise how could he know about the intelligence of Rome thousands of miles away?
But why did Your Majesty set up a new intelligence agency outside the Black Ice Platform without hiding it? Do you not have complete trust in his uncle?
Thinking of this, Jia Xu looked up at Ying Hao, but found that Ying Hao was also looking at him. He was so scared that he quickly lowered his head, not daring to look directly, and his forehead was covered in cold sweat.
At this moment, Jia Xu''s brain ran wildly, and finally it was concluded that the emperor did not distrust him, but habitually reserved anything to anyone. This is the emperor''s mind.
While this made Jia Xu feel relieved, he couldn''t help but feel sad. His nephew was no longer the nephew he used to be. Now he is already a wise lord with a deeper heart than the sea.
At this time, Ying Hao had no expression on his surface, but his heart was full of doubts.
He just looked at Jia Xu habitually, why did he scare this old guy to the point of sweating?
What is this old guy thinking about?
Are you tired of calculating this and that every day?
Ying Hao was speechless at Jia Xu''s reaction, but he didn''t say much, and then looked at Cicero.
"The noble envoy, the Fenghuang Hou has made contributions to the Qin Dynasty. The holy sword you mentioned is her private property. If she doesn''t want to hand it over to you, I will never force her to hand it over."
Cicero was anxious when he heard this. The main purpose of his trip was the Holy Sword. If he could not bring back the Holy Sword, his mission would fail. So he hurriedly said:
"Dear Emperor, the Holy Sword is of great significance to Rome, just like the Tai A sword and Xuanyuan sword of the Qin Dynasty.
Can Your Majesty tolerate the loss of national weapons like Xuanyuan Sword? ”
Ying Hao didn''t think about it and said, "Of course not."
"The same is true for Rome. If Your Majesty did not return the holy sword, Rome would not give up."
Hearing this, Ying Hao''s face changed suddenly, and Prime Minister Wang Meng also stood up and scolded, "Envoyee, please pay attention to your words. Are you threatening my Daqin?"
Cicero was shocked by Ying Hao''s momentum, and felt that Ying Hao above was getting taller and taller, while he was getting smaller and smaller. He endured the fear in his heart and gritted his teeth and said, "I dare not, don''t dare."
"Envoy, do you know that not long ago, Japan, east of the Central Plains, was attacked by the Great Qin across the sea because it angered me. It took only three months for the seven million soldiers and civilians in the country of Japan to be killed, and Japan also became the Yingzhou of our Great Qin."
"What?"
Cicero exclaimed, Daqin actually had the military power to cross the sea to eliminate a country with seven million people? Even in the heyday of Rome, it could not be done.
Rome did forcibly annexed Britain overseas, but it took more than ten years to fight. On the other hand, the Qin Dynasty destroyed Japan, which was no less than Britain in three months. It was obvious that the navy was much stronger than Rome.
"Do you really think that I am far away in the Central Plains and don''t know what''s going on in Rome?"
As he said that, Ying Hao ordered the system in his heart to turn on the world map function, and looked at the map and said, "After Macedonia was defeated, Rome was broken into pieces and all the heroes rose up.
The twenty-five provinces including Egypt, Britain, Belgium, Lyon Gallu, Narbang Gaul, Upper Germanic, Lower Germanic Severu, Pannonia, Retia... have declared independence, and there are still a large number of provinces preparing for independence.
There were fifty-one provinces in Rome during its heyday, but now there are only twenty-six provinces left.
Like the Han Dynasty, Rome was already on the verge of destruction. Your emperor didn''t think about how to save the country and survive. He actually went through a lot of effort for a sword and even threatened the Qin Dynasty thousands of miles away?
I tell you that even Rome in its heyday, I am not afraid, let alone Rome that is about to perish? ”
As soon as Ying Hao said this, Cicero was immediately scared and sweated.
How could the emperor of the Qin Dynasty know this level of Rome?
When he set out from Rome, the Roman provinces had only reached twenty-two, so why are they now twenty-five?
Cicero naturally would not think that Ying Hao was lying to him. After all, the first twenty-two Ying Hao was right. It should be that after he left, three provinces became independent.
As for why Ying Hao knew about this, it must be that Daqin set up an intelligence network in the West and sent the intelligence back through more advanced communication capabilities.
"Ying Hao is worthy of establishing the Qin Dynasty from nothing to something, the strongest man in the East. If His Majesty Severu could be like him, the Roman Empire would not have ended up being broken." Cicero said in his heart.
"Your Majesty, please calm down. Foreign ministers have no intention of threatening. However, the holy sword is of great significance to Rome. Even if the Roman Empire falls into civil strife and is unable to repay the holy sword, the people of the Holy Sword will not give up."
"Holy See?"
Ying Hao showed doubt, while Arthur''s face changed drastically and explained: "In the West, everyone believes in God, and the Holy See is the most influential existence except the Roman Empire.
Although Rome was a monarchy, even the emperor must be recognized by the pope before it could be crowned emperor. ”
"Isn''t this similar to Shintoism in Japan?" Zhou Yu interrupted.
“That’s right, but the Western Holy See has a deep foundation, and the number of strong people is much more than Shintoism. Most of the famous Western strong people are from the Holy See.
Moreover, many people in the Holy See are extreme. They regard all other beliefs as heresy, and formed a crusade, launched many wars of destruction, and eliminated different beliefs. All countries that believe in God responded and cooperated to send troops. ”
"What, just because of different beliefs, the war to destroy the country was launched?"
Many people such as Yue Yun, Xue Dingshan exclaimed. They really couldn''t understand. They destroyed other countries just because of different beliefs, causing hundreds of thousands or millions of deaths. What is this?
If this is clearly a cult in the Central Plains!
