Such a unique performance style and the shocking historical picture moved ancestors of the Chinese people overcame all difficulties and civilization rose and the territory expanded. Although it has declined from time to time over thousands of years, it has never been interrupted. This is something that no other civilization has ever experienced. Many Mayan scholars were shocked. Compared with the Chinese civilization, the Mayan civilization was like flowers in a greenhouse. Although they were fighting against the sky, they did not have the belief and determination that man could conquer nature. Over the years, their civilization has progressed slowly. If they don't catch up, it will be a disaster when those jackals find the way to Yinzhou. Of course, not all of the envoys present could understand the meaning of the magnificent scene, because many of them had no civilization, not even writing, and all their experiences were passed down by word of mouth from the older generation. When a civilization does not have an orderly inheritance, their history is fragmented and can be graffitied and tampered with at will. They only saw the power of the Tang Dynasty, but did not know the background and hidden beliefs behind this power. Constantine II was unable to come back to his senses for a long time. When everyone sat down again and looked at Ji Song, who had a calm face, he said inexplicably: "The Tang Dynasty is fortunate to have a wise man like the Duke of Qing!" Li Shimin was stunned, but heard the other party continue to say: "I wish I was born in Rome. I, alone, can defeat millions of soldiers. As long as he is here, the Tang Dynasty will never decline!" "Your Majesty, I have a request. I wonder if you can agree to it? If you agree, my Roman Empire will pay 100,000 gold coins to the Tang Dynasty every year." Constantine II's words startled everyone present. Li Chengqian asked curiously, "Your Majesty, please feel free to say it. As long as the Tang Dynasty can do it, we will not..."
"Cough cough~" Li Shimin coughed quickly to make Li Chengqian wake up in time. Li Shimin glared at the emperor and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, please tell me first. If it is possible, our Tang Dynasty will not refuse!" Constantine's eyes flashed with disappointment. He knew that the Tang Dynasty would not agree to his request, but he still gritted his teeth and said, "My country would like to invite the Duke of Qing to Rome to serve as the chief consul. If you agree, Rome is willing to add 100,000 gold coins per year, a total of 200,000 gold coins per year to the Tang Dynasty." bang~ Constantine looked in astonishment at Li Shimin who stood up angrily. He saw that Li Shimin's eyes were filled with rage. The hall, which was noisy just now, suddenly became quiet and you could hear a pin drop. Even Constantine II, who was also an emperor of a great country, trembled in fear. Was this the power of the Heavenly Khan, who was respected by all the countries in the world? Ji Song, as the host of the ceremony, saw something was wrong and quickly stepped forward and asked, "Your Majesty, is there something wrong?" At this time, Li Chengqian, as the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, also stood up and said, "Father, Your Majesty Constantine only said it unintentionally, please calm down!" After saying that, he looked at the somewhat puzzled Constantine II and said coldly: "This is the first time I heard you being so abrupt, but I also hope it will be the last time. How can the pillars of our Tang Dynasty be measured by money? This is not only an insult to the Duke of Qing, but also a criticism of our Tang Dynasty royal family. I remember that our two countries are friendly countries, and you are coming to the Tang Dynasty as an emperor. As a guest, you must have the absolute awareness of being a guest. Our Tang Dynasty is a country of etiquette, and we must make Your Majesty feel at home. But it is better not to say other things, so as not to hurt the feelings of the two countries." Constantine II lowered his eyebrows and sighed in his heart. He knew it was impossible, but he couldn't help it. If it were possible, with Ji Song's wisdom, Rome could regain its former glory within ten years. but. "I am sorry for being rude. I just admire your talent. I hope you won't take it to heart." Li Shimin snorted coldly when he heard this, and said with a flick of his sleeves, "It's better this way." After saying that, he looked at Ji Song who looked puzzled, and said in a cold voice: "Duke of Qing, His Majesty the Roman Empire is willing to invite you to serve as the Chief Consul of the Roman Empire at a price of 200,000 gold coins per year. That is a position that is truly second only to the emperor. What do you think? Do you want to go?" Wow~ As soon as these words came out, all the ministers in the palace were furious. Ji Song was sweating profusely, and he wanted to pick up a knife and cut Constantine II into pieces immediately. This is not cherishing talent, this is clearly to let him die without a burial place. His mind was working quickly, and suddenly, he looked at Constantine II, bowed and said: "Thank you for your praise, Your Majesty. As far as I know, the Eastern Roman Empire has not only resisted the invasion of the Arabs during your several terms, but also gradually regained many rights. I believe that with you, the Eastern Roman Empire will be glorious again." "You only see my achievements in the Tang Dynasty, but the Chinese ancestors said that oranges grown in the south of the Huai River are oranges, while those grown in the north of the Huai River are tangerines. How can the same person be the same in different environments?" Then he bowed to Li Shimin and said, "As the saying goes, a wise ruler and wise ministers complement each other. Without your majesty's love and trust, how far can I, Ji Song, go even if I have great abilities?" "I thank Your Majesty for your love and care, but I was born here, raised here, and would like to be buried here. It was this land that raised me, and it was Your Majesty who gave me the opportunity. I cannot repay Your Majesty's kindness even if I die a thousand times. I only wish to protect the eternal prosperity of the Tang Dynasty with my remaining body." With a sigh in his heart, Constantine II said apologetically: "I was too impatient!" He bowed respectfully to Li Shimin and said, "I was rude just now. With you, Duke of Qing and many wise ministers, the Tang Dynasty will surely prosper. I hope the Khan will not blame Duke of Qing."
At this time, Li Shimin slowly calmed down. He didn't know why he reacted so strongly just now. He just reacted violently subconsciously. Perhaps, deep down in his heart, Ji Song is different! If it were someone else, he wouldn't be like this either. "Your Majesty, you are too polite. I did act a little inappropriately just now. If I was disrespectful, I hope you will forgive me." Li Chengqian heaved a sigh of relief. He was a little panicked just now. Now that Ji Song had expressed a clear response and Constantine II had spoken, the matter was temporarily put aside. At this point, no one wanted to continue. First, Li Shimin and Changsun left on the grounds of being unwell, and then Constantine II left. Everyone knew that tonight's grand ceremony was over. "Good fellow, the emperor of a country actually tried to steal the Tang Dynasty's people in such an occasion. What is he trying to do? Ziyi, you have to hold on. I have heard that Rome implemented a feudal system. With your talent, Constantine would have worshipped you. At least he would have made you a great lord." "But no matter how good it is, it's still in someone else's house. How can it be as good as your own?" As soon as he walked out of the hall, Cheng Yaojin started to yell. Yuchi Gong, who was standing by, glared at the old man and said, "Stop talking. Can't you see that Ziyi is upset?" "You said that this Constantine II is an emperor, but he is so abrupt. Isn't this embarrassing for Ziyi?" Ji Song stopped their quarrel and said with a forced smile: "Please stop quarreling, I am not feeling well, so I will not accompany you two." "See you!" Watching Ji Song's departing back, Cheng Yaojin sighed, "It was supposed to be a grand ceremony, but how could something like this happen? Now, His Majesty has a grudge in his heart. He will have a hard time in the future!" "Alas, who says it's not? This is a joke. Look, we'll have time to talk to His Majesty about it." "Okay, call everyone else along when the time comes. Damn it, if that guy wasn't so special, I would have beaten him to death. How can someone do things like this? And the emperor? It's so shameless. He uses such despicable means to alienate the emperor and his subjects in the Tang Dynasty. He is simply not a human being!" Everyone was furious and really disgusted. This guy seems harmless, but now they know that there is no good person who can be emperor. He is like a beehive, full of tricks. - (End of this chapter)
