Since the Accounting: A Chronicle of the Roman Khanate

Chapter 264 Roman Martial Temple
Of course, Guo Kang was only secretly joking about this.Moreover, he himself does not know whether the Ming Dynasty officially released the standard portrait of Zhu Yuanzhang in this era, or what it would look like if it was released.

In the courtyard of Zhu Wenkui's house, there is a small house dedicated to offering sacrifices to ancestors.He had seen it when he passed by, but there were only tablets of Zhu Yuanzhang and others inside, and no portraits, so he couldn't figure out how the etiquette system was arranged here.

On the side of the Purple Horde, there are only portraits of Genghis Khan and some stone carvings of ancient Roman khans.

When the Queen Mother Helena was in power, some people suggested that now that the imperial court was stable, it could clarify the legal system and announce it to the public to promote its own legitimacy.

The ruling foundation of the Queen Mother Helena is not stable, and this kind of ceremony is very much needed to maintain her authority in the Khan Court.This kind of move is also good for uniting the Romans everywhere, so they agreed to this suggestion.

The officials then began to compile the genealogy, and collected statues and mosaics left over from past dynasties.But this work has encountered many difficulties.For example, the simplest question: Who is the second king and Sanke of the Zizhang Khanate?

There is a big gap between the "dynasties" of Rome and the "dynasties" of the Central Plains, and the concept of dynastic change may not be able to correspond. It is impossible to determine the scope of the previous dynasty.And in many cases, the Roman emperors did not have a clear "lineage", because there were too many emperors and the relationship was too chaotic, and it was not clear at all.Coupled with various inexplicable rebellions, separatists and civil wars, the legal system has become a mess.There is really no way, everyone can only give up this plan.

There are also a variety of voices on the transfer of the legal system.Some people think that the kingship era is counted as one dynasty; the following hundreds of years are counted as republican politics; after Augustus, it is counted as the second dynasty; after Constantine, until now, it is counted as the third dynasty .In this way, the "two kings" were just set up to run through the history of Rome, emphasizing its unity and continuity, and completing the work of "connecting the three systems".

But others believe that the ruler of Rome is a public office.Regardless of the king, consul, head of state or emperor, they are all the same rulers, as long as they serve Rome, there is no difference, nothing more than different titles in different periods.Therefore, since the founding of the city, Rome has been a single regime in the eons.The periodization of dynasties is just a classification made by historians for convenience, which is not the case in legal system.

Of course, some of them also objected that this lineage should start after the end of the royal period.The two sides also had a dispute over this.

In the end, Guo Gai and others preferred not to distinguish between dynasties, so they referred to the suggestions of scholars and selected according to merit and influence. Aurelian, Patriarch Constantine, Sejong Basil II, and Liezu Boyan Timur seven.

As for posthumous titles and the like, they did not continue to take them on the grounds that Rome did not have such traditions and temple titles were enough.Guo Kang reckoned that it was because of his limited educational level that he really couldn't remember.

In fact, even with these seven temple names, the debate has never stopped.Some people think that the selection of candidates is unfair, and some people think that the range should not be so large.Later, as the lineage of the Zizhang Dynasty increased, some people felt that more people should be added.However, as before, no one can convince others, so it will continue to make do for the time being.

These seven people received the treatment of "serving God", that is, the patriarch presided over the canonization, and formally accepted sacrifices together with the heavenly father and heavenly brothers in the national altar - Niangniang Temple, declaring that they possessed divinity.Among them, Romulus has the highest status, almost equal to Brother Tian.

Of course, this has also caused various debates within the Orthodox Church.However, there are also many people who are very happy, thinking that this is not only in line with the teachings, but also in line with the Roman tradition, which is really too orthodox.Since most people liked it, it was kept.

In order to make up for the gap in the era of the Republic, the Purple Horde Khanate set up a martial arts temple, selected generals with outstanding achievements in various eras, and finally selected ten people headed by Caesar, who were also included in the Niangniang Temple, and set up a special area for sacrifices.

In addition, they planned to set up a corresponding Confucian temple at the beginning.However, many people believe that the Confucian Temple is essentially a place to sacrifice to Confucius. The culture of Seris has undergone several twists and turns since Zhou Gong and Confucius, but it has never been cut off, so it has the value of sacrifice.

However, on the Roman side, there is no continuous cultural tradition, even the religion and common language have changed.Everyone pondered for a long time, but they didn't know who to use.In the end, the matter was over.

Some of the 17 have entire statues, while others only have busts of their heads.Some simply have only mosaic portraits, which can only be completed by the painter according to these fuzzy patterns.That's how it came together.

As for the others, there are only portraits of Genghis Khan—of course, strictly speaking, they may not be portraits of Genghis Khan.

At that time, according to the order of Genghis Khan himself, it was not allowed to make his portrait.This line of thinking may have come from Central Asia following the teaching of Tianfang, with the intention of maintaining the sanctity of the ancestors of the country.

However, after Kublai Khan came to power, he not only made a portrait of Genghis Khan directly, but also drew it with reference to his own appearance.It can be said that all the statues of Genghis Khan now violate the orders of Genghis Khan himself, and it was his grandson who took the lead in breaking the rules.

The Purple Horde Khanate enshrined this portrait. After careful analysis, it is a kind of behavior that wants to express respect, but does not respect the order of the other party. It is a contradictory behavior...

Moreover, Kublai Khan's reason at the time was that Genghis Khan said that he looked like himself.However, there are no verifiable records in other historical sources.

Among the four sons of Tuo Lei, Genghis Khan's favorite is more likely to be Xu Liewu.At the beginning, when Kublai Khan and Xu Liewu were hunting for the first time, Xu Liewu hit a wild goat, and Kublai Khan only hit a rabbit.According to the tradition, when a child hunts for the first time, he should smear the blood of the prey on the finger of the elder to show respect.Kublai Khan just smeared it lightly, but Xu Liegu hurt Genghis Khan's fingers.

According to Yuan sources, Hulagu was considered rude, but others argued that the records showed that Hulagu, who was rough, was preferred by him.Later, Genghis Khan even complained about Kublai Khan, saying that he looked like a Han.No matter how you look at it, it doesn't seem like he is boasting that he is similar to himself.

Therefore, these "historical details" may be of the kind that should not be delved into, otherwise it will inevitably embarrass everyone.Over there in the Ming Dynasty, such things probably would not be rare.
