Since the Accounting: A Chronicle of the Roman Khanate

Chapter 412 Little Warlord Fights Sigismund
Regarding Zhu Wenkui's suggestion, everyone has their own thoughts.

Everyone in the Purple Horde is actually very interested, but they can't directly say whether the loopholes in it can be accepted by Europeans.For example, the age of marriage and childbearing is rather strange in the eyes of the Purple Horde Khanate.

The minimum age for marriage under Roman law was 14 for men and 12 for women.After the collapse of ancient Rome, the church still followed this rule.However, like many other canons that prohibit forced marriages and marriages between close relatives, this rule only stays on paper most of the time.

The theory of the Zizhang Khanate was copied directly by Guo Gai, Patriarch Zhang and others back then, which required men to be 20 years old and women to be 15 years old.But this rule is also facing the same dilemma as the church - even with the control ability of the Purple Horde, it can't restrict folk customs.

But even so, marriage at the age of six is ​​outrageous.I don't know how round is better.

Princess Jeanna didn't seem very positive about this topic either.Therefore, we can only temporarily end the discussion in this regard.After all, this is just a meeting for a preliminary exchange of opinions, and specific matters will have to be discussed in the future.

So, Bai Sai Khan looked at the others, and told Princess Jeanne the next thing: "The princess helped us call the crusade before, and we are very grateful. However, our scholars found that some regulations in France were not applicable to the Romans." A lot of prejudice. The princess is close to us, so we want to talk to you first."

"Prejudice?" Princess Jeanna was a little surprised.

"We found that in some ancient laws of your country, there are laws that clearly discriminate against or even insult the Romans." Lu Shangshu said:
"In the Salic Code, it is clearly stated that killing a Frank or a barbarian protected by law requires compensation of 200 sous, but killing a Roman requires only half. If it is a vassal Roman who wants to pay tribute to the king , the compensation is lower. Isn’t this obvious discrimination and prejudice?”

"These regulations are a long time ago, and it is reasonable for us not to pursue them. However, the current situation shows that this code is still valid, and some people will quote part of it from time to time. You should also know these things Bar."

Princess Jeanna thought for a while, and seemed to understand something.She didn't make a statement, but just nodded, expressing that she really knew.

"If it's just your country's internal laws, we don't need to intervene. But now that the relationship between the two countries is getting closer and people-to-people exchanges are becoming more frequent, the situation is already very different from what it was back then. If this is the case, there should be no need to continue to maintain it. "Lu Shangshu continued.

"However, some parts of the Salic Code are still frequently quoted today. And it is not a folk custom, but a national behavior led by the royal family." He emphasized: "So we think that our concerns are not difficult to understand ——Since some of them are still applicable, does it mean that other parts are also applicable?"

Princess Jeanna thought about it carefully and found that logically speaking, this worry was indeed justified.So she nodded again and asked, "Do you hope that you can solve this part of the potential problem?"

"Yes." Bai Sai Khan replied: "We hope that our allies can understand our difficulties. We can no longer entangle with the contradictions and conflicts in the past, but now there are so many tourists and business travelers. What can we do if we persecute our citizens on the grounds of the law?"

"Therefore, our choice is also forced. We hope that your country can abandon this old code and re-edit the parts that are needed. If it is not possible, you can also publicly declare which parts to keep and which parts to abandon. In this way, we to be more at ease."

Speaking of this, everyone already understands it very well.

The Salic Code is the reason for the French royal family to maintain paternity and exclude female members of the royal family and their descendants.Whether it was the Valois branch competing for the throne with Capet's direct line, or they are now rejecting the claim of the King of England, they all rely on this hand.

Therefore, this thing is related to the discussion of the legitimacy of the royal family.So tricks and double standards are allowed, but not without them.

Normally, legitimacy itself is an axiomatic consensus.The customs of the Frankish tribe stipulate that the throne can only be passed on to male offspring, so it must be passed on to males.All kinds of doubts about this, such as what kind of logic this is based on and whether it is unfair to female members, are meaningless.Because the tribal tradition itself is the default "truth" and cannot be discussed.

Nor did the Purple Horde directly question the tradition itself.Because it involves political issues, its authenticity itself—for example, whether it is a real "tradition" or made up by later generations—is no longer possible to verify.Moreover, the Purple Horde and France have no in-laws, and there is no direct competition for inheritance rights. It is not meaningful to be entangled in these places because it is easy to offend people. It is better to bypass it directly.

Therefore, the Purple Horde simply used the part of the code that was unfavorable to Rome to question the rationality of the entire code.

It would of course be better if the royal family followed their advice and made changes directly.But unless they are already beaten to the brink of death, this ideal situation is unlikely.

But even if it is the next best thing, the French royal family needs to deal with it seriously, that is to say, it needs to negotiate and discuss with them on the rationality of the entire code.In this way, he brought an issue that he could not discuss originally to the negotiating table.

For this reason, it is equivalent to announcing clearly that she will help Princess Rangna and her descendants to fight for the throne.

However, for their kindness, Princess Jeanne still responded tactfully.

"I will help inform the court and the Regency Committee." She said, "However, some nobles may not accept it."

"Those nobles? It doesn't matter." Prime Minister Wang said with a smile: "You can tell them, we think that if the court nobles disagree, the Duke of Normandy will also agree."

Princess Jeanna heard the words, smiled wryly, and nodded.

As everyone in the purple tent said just now, the English certainly do not recognize this code.The king of England, on the contrary, shared their goals in wanting to recognize the succession rights of female royal family members.Therefore, the relationship between the three parties is obviously not that simple.

However, this kind of thing really cannot be finalized on the spot.So, after telling her, this simple meeting is over.

Bai Saihan's family also invited Wu Wang's family to stay and participate in the evening banquet.But Princess Ma said that she would take little Rangna home to rest.I have been playing for several days before, and I am too tired, so I will not attend.

Hearing what she said, Zhu Wenkui also said that he should go back together.Anyway, the serious matters to be discussed are all related to Princess Jeanna, so let her communicate and discuss with relevant people on her own.

In this way, only Princess Jeanna herself is left.

She was obviously not reconciled, but Princess Ma had a good reason.Even Tuo Huan and the others felt that it was better for little Rangna to go home and sleep at her age.Therefore, she had no choice but to agree.

After that, Bai Saihan and others got up and left the big tent, went outside the temporary camp, chatting along the way.Tuo Huan, Zhu Wenkui and Theodora left alone to relax near the sea.

When they were farther away, Theodora complained in a low voice.

"Old Wang is too cunning." She shook her head and said, "In the beginning, he was the one to remind Princess Jeanna, but it turned out that my mother had to come forward. Why are you so timid when facing outsiders."

"It's understandable. Let alone him, I don't know if the princess is an outsider." Tuo Huan shrugged: "Wen Kuianda, what do you think?"

"I actually don't know." Zhu Wenkui lowered his voice: "When I need to be with her now, I have to find ways to avoid suspicion as much as possible."

"Actually, there's no need to be so exaggerated." Tuohuan had no choice but to comfort him again.

"I'm fine, but I have to take care of my family's reputation." Zhu Wenkui sighed helplessly as he said, "I don't know why my father is so persistent, hey..."

"Anyway, right now, I'm going to take good care of my sister first, so that she can grow up well. I can only do my best for the rest." He waved his hand and said.

Seeing that it was not easy for everyone, Tuohuan had no choice but to sigh.

"I don't know what's going on with Brother Kang." He muttered, "If he's here, maybe he can persuade him."

"What did he do?" Zhu Wenkui still didn't know what happened before.

"Catch the thief." Theodora said: "Cao Jian sent a group of Ross recruits to him, but the quality of those people was too poor, and there were a lot of street gangsters among them. He found it difficult to accept, so he was going to arrest him." A person with too many bad deeds should be a model, and we should rectify the atmosphere."

"Whether it's Cao Jian or him, why are you in such a hurry." Tuo Huan shook his head and commented: "This kind of thing can't be handled normally."

"The Cao family is fighting internally. This time, the Cao family as a whole supports Brother Kang's plan, but who will be in charge of this matter cannot be determined. If the plan is successfully passed, there will be many new Powers will be created accordingly. Of course they will not miss this opportunity." Theodora took it for granted:

"Whoever strikes first, installs his own people, and creates established facts, the subsequent advantages will snowball. Cao Jian is already weak, so of course he is in a hurry."

"As for Brother Kang...he is too much like an ideal chivalrous man." Theodora shook her head: "He is usually quiet, and he goes to places like churches and monasteries every day, like a priest. Except for seeing him often doing strange things, everyone thinks he is smarter, and they don't think he is special. But in fact, his sense of justice is astonishingly high."

"He is in a hurry. I suspect it's not for power, nor for the reputation of the family and himself, but simply because he can't stand it anymore. But Master Wang also knows this, and has sent a prosecutor to investigate the ins and outs."

"It's normal, it's not him if you don't worry." Zhu Wenkui obviously understands Guo Kang's temper: "I also go to the slums from time to time, and given the environment there, he might be so angry that he would go and kill people himself... "

"That's right. He can really do it." Theodora hesitated: "I don't know if he is so reckless, is it safe? Otherwise, I will not participate in the reception at night. I will go and see his side situation."

"At night we have to entertain veterans whose families are not nearby, so they can't go home to visit relatives." Tuo Huan reminded her: "Although according to the custom, only my father and I need to appear on the stage, it is better for our family to appear. You don't have to say something is wrong. It's okay, but it's not really a big deal..."

"It just so happens that I'm going to take my concubine back. I'll stop by and inquire about it." Zhu Wenkui said proactively.

"Actually, you don't have to worry. As you said, they are some small thieves in the city." He said to Theodora: "Although everyone subconsciously thinks that Brother Kang is more like a master or a bachelor, he is also a The general's son has been practicing martial arts for many years. There will be no risk in dealing with such villainous youths in the slums."

"Yes." Tuo Huan also nodded: "In fact, I have always thought that he is also the material to be a war commander, so let's not despise him too much."

"Actually, if he hadn't proposed the strategy of going south, I would have invited him to fight with Alemanni after the legion has been rotated and repaired this time." He said, "We in Rome, The first battle of the disciples of the Zhu Kingdom is also an important ceremony. To discuss business with the Egyptian army chiefs is a shame for him."

"If you want me to say, even if it is personal force, he is enough." Tuo Huan seemed to have not boasted enough, and added: "It's a pity that the Alemanni have always been timid and dare not fight. Otherwise, let Xiji Smond came out to fight him one-on-one, to decide the outcome of the two countries, I think it is completely feasible."

"Sigismund is almost 50 years old." Theodora muttered, "One-on-one with him..."

"It's not too old. Anyway, as long as you know what it means." Tuo Huan had no choice but to prevaricate.

　Recently, I designed and produced a solid-state hard disk box with external power supply.The circuit of the public version has been changed, and the power supply has been changed to an external connection, so no matter how old the interface is or how poor the power supply is, it can be used for a long time without worrying about insufficient power supply and damage to the hard disk.Heat dissipation has also been specially enhanced.

　　The official name is "Solid-disk with Power-supply Qualified for Running" (Solid-disk with Power-supply Qualified for Running) or SPQR for short.If you are interested, just search for "SPQR hard disk box".If you have technical problems, you can find me in the group.

　　This name seems to be quite unique, and this is the only one I found out, there is no competing product...
