Tang Dynasty good brother-in-law

Chapter 973 A Treasure

For the precious materials in the warehouse, Liu Ruyu confirmed the quantity again, signed the contract and the ship set sail.

Half an hour later, a pair of cold hands covered Li Daozong's face, and Li Daozong, who was sleeping soundly, was startled awake.

"We're in trouble, big trouble."

"What trouble, who dares to be an enemy of my Tang Dynasty, I still have 8 elites in Suez, and [-] slave legions in Djibouti. Who is so short-sighted and dares to trouble us."

Li Daozong was awakened but he was not angry at all, Liu Ruyu's complexion was very bad, which made him very nervous.

"I found the Saracen crown, and there is one other treasure right now. The three together represent the highest royal power of Saracen. We already have two in our hands. How to deal with this thing. The war will end soon, and we have to give The Roman emperor had the same attitude, to stay or not to stay.”

After listening to Liu Ruyu's words, Li Daozong also felt that one head and two big.

"Husband, do you know what the last one is?" Liu Ruyu was more concerned about the treasure.

Li Daozong said: "I heard that the Roman Emperor Heraclius told me in a chat that Rome, Sassan, and Saracen are all similar. Kingship is three treasures. Rome is a double-headed eagle with a golden scepter and a crown. And a golden short sword, and the rest of the two countries are also scepters and crowns."

"What about the last one?"

"The kingdom of Saracen is a golden water bottle, but no one has seen it, and no one has described what the water bottle looks like. Even in the city of Saracen, only a few people know it."

Liu Ruyu said to herself: "It seems that among the treasures we got, there are a lot of water bottles."

Li Daozong interrupted Liu Ruyu's thinking: "Madam, the question now is whether we should keep the scepter and the crown or not."

"I don't know. You're a man, you make up your mind."

Li Daozong felt that he was under a lot of pressure.

After thinking for a long time, Li Daozong asked Liu Ruyu: "Where is your Dalang?"

"How could I know? If you plan to discuss with him, you will probably find him in a few months." Liu Ruyu knew very well that once Liu Mu went out to sea, he would disappear somewhere in the sea like a fish, trying to find him. difficult.

Li Daozong asked again: "Then, what about this scepter?"

"you ask me?"

"Ma'am give me an idea."

Liu Ruyu gritted her teeth: "If you let me make up my mind, I will buy it with money. Even if it costs hundreds of thousands of gold coins, this thing will have to be sent back to Chang'an, but if Rome wants a big price, it must help find the last water bottle. "

"Well, today I will test the attitude of the Roman emperor."

A gold crown weighing a few catties is more realistic than a few hundred catties of gold. I believe most people will definitely like gold.

However, this was the first battle that the Tang Dynasty fought overseas, and Liu Ruyu believed that the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty would definitely like the crown and scepter, rather than a pile of gold coins.

When it was almost noon, the two football teams from the Datang Navy and the Datang Field Soldiers were ready to play on the occasional celebration venue of the barracks under the Roman mountain city.

Then there is the favorite horse race of the nobles of the Tang Dynasty.

There is a special person in charge of the horse racing rolls, from the Roman Emperor Heraclius to the ordinary people in Constantine. Whether it is gold coins or silver coins, the popularity of the betting field makes the whole city of Constantine lively.

Every street and every tavern has a dedicated person to report the results continuously.

The surrounding area of ​​the racetrack has been crowded for a long time. If there is some trouble, it is estimated that hundreds of people will lose their lives just because of the stampede.

Rugby is only played at halftime, and the fiery game is only used to warm up the atmosphere of the stadium.

Li Daozong poured a glass of wine for the Roman Emperor Heraclius at the transition time between the ball game and Marseille: "Your Majesty, I just got the news that a suspected crown object was found in a deep well in the city of Saracen."

Chirac took the wine glass with a little doubt.

He had thought about this problem since the beginning of attacking Saracen, especially when Datang was attacking Wangcheng.

But right now, this matter is not something he can decide on his own. There is still a senate in Rome. Although the senate has not discussed this issue, he has inquired about it in private, and it seems that it is also divided into three factions.

Seeing Heraclius' silence, Li Daozong waited for a long time before continuing to test: "I don't know what kind of water bottle is one of their three treasures."

Heraclius said suddenly, "That crown is fake."

"what!"

Li Daozong was taken aback, he didn't expect to hear such words.

Heraclius continued: "The water bottle is in our hands, the scepter is gone, but the crown is indeed a fake. The real crown is not gold, but made of a lion's skull and blackened copper. Some precious stones were added, and another layer of gold was overlaid, and the bone and copper remained."

"Your Majesty has seen it?"

"It's in my treasury. This is a conspiracy. It was a conspiracy 14 years ago. Back then, the Saracen Kingdom didn't exist. It was just a group of nomadic tribes. They borrowed some weapons and gold coins from the empire with the crown as a pledge. They are used to ambushes and sneak attacks, defeating the Gulaisi nobles and subduing them gave them the strength to establish a country."

Hearing this passage, Li Daozong was very curious.

Heraclius said again: "They used the gold of two camels to redeem the crown, or to borrow some weapons and food. At this time I believed them, but they were in my soldiers without defense. , took the opportunity to capture that city, and then captured a province of the Sasan Kingdom with the help of a large amount of weapons and food in the city."

"It's... a clever, but shameless tactic."

"Yes, very clever. But also because of this incident, Rome and Sassan ceased war, and then they talked while fighting. Two years later, it will be last year. You know what happened next."

When Heraclius talked about this, Li Daozong fully understood.

Li Daozong asked again: "So, what happened to the golden crown that the soldiers found?"

"It is a replica of the original crown. Of course the Saracens claim that this is the original crown. It was never lost and never pledged to Rome."

Li Daozong asked again: "What is your majesty's opinion?"

"My opinion is not important. I believe you are interested in hearing the opinion of the Senate."

"interested in."

Li Daozong must be interested to hear that the power of the Senate is a bit too great, and it has reached a height that can resist the imperial power. He has already written to Li Shimin about this.

Heraclius said: "The Senate is divided into three factions, and they have three different ideas."

Li Daozong said: "I would like to hear the details!"
