Since the Accounting: A Chronicle of the Roman Khanate

Chapter 92 Batch Canonization
After discussing with Zhu Wenkui, Guo Kang and Zhu Wenkui realized that Theodora had gone somewhere.

"Where are people?" Guo Kang was a little puzzled.

"Maybe it's too boring, I don't understand it." Zhu Wenkui looked at the circles all over the floor and the dense numbers in the notes in his hand, but he was quite self-aware.

"Forget it, let's find her later." Thinking of Theodora's previous "interview", Guo Kang felt a little guilty: "I feel that I also need a headband."

"What are you talking about!" Zhu Wenkui shook his head immediately, and comforted him: "It's just daily trivial matters, no big deal, why bother so much? The princess also cares about you, and the misunderstanding can be resolved after everyone communicates. What do you need? I can help here too."

Guo Kang was about to express his gratitude, but Rang Na, who was next to him, was not happy.

"Then what did you tell me just now?" She stared at Zhu Wenkui and complained again and again: "Oh, if your brother is unhappy, you should comfort him quickly; if your sister is unhappy, you should put an iron band on her, right? Is this for your loved ones? You like iron hoops so much, why don't you give yourself one?"

"I didn't do it on purpose either, I just say what comes to mind." Zhu Wenkui was also unhappy: "Others asked me to hit me, but I wouldn't give it up."

"That's all right, all right, your brother also cares about you, thinking you really want it." Guo Kang also helped to persuade: "Why don't we turn around and forget about each of us, and don't let anyone be special than anyone else, that's fine..."

"?" Jeanna had a question mark on her face.

"Then, let's discuss it later..." Guo Kang had no choice but to forcefully fool: "I still have to find a way to deal with Theodora, and I can only let other things go."

"I just think you guys are weird." Jeanna said unforgivingly: "You complain about the troubles of Greek women every day, but you never thought that you are also responsible for this matter?"

"What's wrong?" Zhu Wenkui asked.

"You know that the Greeks have problems, but you still keep intermarrying with them and let them control the power in the harem." Jeanna pointed out: "Look, whether it's the empress dowager's dictatorship or Shi Zetian's troubles, it's not all yours." What the system allows, what officials and generals acquiesce to? You can only blame yourself.”

"We can't do anything about it." Guo Kang began to complain: "It's okay in other places, and the resistance of the local people has never been strong. But in Greece, we relied on in-laws and adoption relationships from the beginning to gain a foothold."

"You know the geopolitical situation here. The exit of the Black Sea and several important areas entering the Mediterranean route are all populated by Greeks. Therefore, if you want to enter the Mediterranean, open up trade routes, and make the country rich, you must We must stabilize and control the Greek region."

"This place is different from today's Central Plains. Local people like to recognize religion and blood. Although the Greeks themselves have developed an official selection system, even local people like to recognize a foster father or Just pretend to be an ancestor."

He gave an example: "Look, there are a lot of Greeks surnamed Dukas and Komnene in our court, but few of them are real. Many people suddenly appeared from nowhere, and then Beginning to claim to be the Barcelius of old, a lost relative."

"I've heard it's the same in the Frankish countries. Is that so?"

"That's right." Jeanna was stared at by him, so she nodded and joined his topic: "Many people are pretending to be the descendants of old nobles in the Charlemagne era. Even if the royal family can find out the records, in order to appoint talents, they can only Open one eye and close one eye."

"Everyone cares about bloodlines, but bloodlines really can't guarantee talents. As a result, we have to acquiesce in capable people pretending to be bloodlines to open up a channel for talent selection." She sighed: "It sounds ironic, doesn't it?" ?”

"As for Shinra..." She thought for a while, "I doubt whether Shinra will have the ability to track down the whereabouts of every nobleman after the Great Era. Prove it."

"That's right. This is the same all over the world." Guo Kang said: "Back then, the Queen Mother Helena told the officials herself that she didn't know that the Komnen family was so prosperous until she married into the purple tent." A small half of the Greek officials promoted every year are her long-lost relatives."

"Even when we entered Dadu for the first time, we used this habit. Do you remember Cao Jian who sent you the documents before?" he asked.

"I remember." Zhu Wenkui said.

"Cao Meng, the ancestor of his family, was an envoy and negotiated with the Greeks. During this period, he established cooperation with Michael, the head of the eunuch at that time. Michael valued him very much, and even adopted him as his adopted son, as his heir. It was also in With their help, we entered the city to quell the chaos," Guo Kang said.

"Our right to rule Rome is also obtained through marriage. According to Roman tradition, the Purple Horde does have the power to inherit the empire, and the Greeks can't deny it."

"Even so, after entering the city for the first time, we all faced a huge challenge. Two Greek officials who were in a civil war actually joined forces to deal with us."

"This incident is so abnormal that it simply does not conform to the logic of the behavior of the Greeks." He shook his head again and again: "Look, has there ever been such a thing in Greek history? It shouldn't be that they are vying to bribe us and let us take him Is it more in line with the historical norm to be the co-emperor yourself and eliminate the other party?"

"What did you do at that time?" Jeanna felt very strange.

"My ancestor Guo Gai recorded this incident." Guo Kang said: "At that time, everyone felt that we were going to promote that we were decent Romans, which was different from those two disorderly Greek officials."

"As the saying goes, there are three fires for a new official to take office." When a newcomer arrives, he must show a new look in order to convince everyone. Therefore, they moved out a lot of crosses, brothers, and so on from the temple of the empress, and made another Put a statue of Romulus in and call everyone to sacrifice. This shows that we are orthodox Romans and have never forgotten the Roman orthodoxy."

"what……"

"The Greeks at that time were different from what they are now. They were very extreme. At that time, some people couldn't stand it and wanted to make trouble." Guo Kang shook his head again and again: "We mobilized the legionnaires and suppressed them several times. As a result, Li Xuanying and his ancestors missed the show , it was still blown out."

"Then how did you solve it?" Jeanna was very curious about the changes in the Greeks.

"Didn't the Ottoman army camp outside the city later?" Guo Kang said: "After the defeat of the Serbian army, the Ottomans demolished all the nearby churches, leaving only one and changing it to Tianfang Temple for temporary use."

"The Greeks were very scared. The patriarch at that time urgently recognized all the ancestors below Romulus who we worshiped as saints in batches, and announced that worshiping them was in compliance. After that, things like this got better. "
