Chapter Thirty-Six: The Empress
Guo Kang discussed this issue with Li Xuanying and others, and they were very straightforward.
The last dynasty of the Greeks' development to this day is the Palaiologos dynasty. This dynasty began with Michael VIII bullying orphans and widowed mothers, and ended with internal strife between Emperor John II.
And to be honest, this Greek was even more outrageous than the Song Dynasty - in the end, the performance of those few people was roughly equivalent to Lu Xiufu and Zhang Shijie each holding an emperor hostage and fighting a civil war on Yashan. They also rushed to boast about Haikou and wanted to hire
Kublai Khan beat the opponent.
It is probably difficult for ordinary people to understand the way of thinking of these Greek nobles...
This thing is not interesting for learning!
Therefore, in order to combat the influence of the Greeks, the Purple Horde also thought of various methods, including opening its own schools, holding examinations, and cultivating talents. In addition, the pillar states also sought alliances with various forces in the hope of achieving a balance.
For this reason, Zi Zhang also imitated the European nobles and began to form marriage alliances, looking for countries as far away as France, and even went to steal marriages with Shinra. However, from the current point of view, the effect is relatively limited.
As for what to do, no one has a reliable idea at the moment.
Just as I was thinking about it, someone shouted at the door: "The Queen is here!" Several Russian envoys and Bulgarian officials left them and returned to their seats.
The eunuch in the chamber led a middle-aged lady in purple robes into the house, followed by several maids and a tall girl also in purple robes.
Along the way, everyone in the palace bowed and saluted. When the queen passed by Guo Kang, she nodded to him. Guo Kang lowered his head and waited for her small team to pass by before raising it and looking around. Not surprisingly, everyone
Their expressions are different.
Most of the people in the North Yamen opposite had normal expressions. Several Greek and Serbian civil servants here were also respectful. However, the princes of the South Yamen were obviously not very happy.
They walked through the middle of the hall, and then passed by Guo Daxia, who also stood up. At the end of the hall, the others stopped, and the queen who headed them walked up the steps and sat on the throne of the Great Khan.
Guo Kang saw that when the queen actually sat on the throne, even Shi Ke, who had always been serious, couldn't help but frown.
"Oh, Wu Zetian!" Li Xuanying lowered her voice and complained.
Guo Kang shook his head gently and told him not to talk nonsense.
According to Greek tradition, the emperor and the queen often sat side by side, but in everyone's eyes, this was really not a good sign.
According to Shi Ke, in addition to the lessons of the Tang Dynasty, there were also such cases in the Yuan Dynasty not far away from now. The palace system of the Yuan Dynasty was very chaotic, and the emperor and queen were equal and appeared in the court. As a result, Ogedai Khan died.
Later, Empress Naimazhen caused chaos in the government; after Guyukhan's death, Haimai became a leader in chaos... The political situation was originally unstable, and continued tossing like this directly led to the corruption of the government.
The emperors of the Yuan Dynasty did not learn lessons. Until the last generation, there was still the incident of Empress Qi's chaos. The emperor, the prince, and Empress Qi fought back and forth, and most of the courts were as chaotic as Constantinople. Even without Zhu Yuanzhang, the court would have been in chaos.
All his strength has been exhausted, it is just a matter of which warlord will kill him.
Li Xuanying curled her lips disdainfully, still looking dissatisfied: "By the way, the 'Twenty Cows' kept looking at you just now. Didn't you see?"
Guo Kang was looking around at that time, but did not look towards the throne, so he could only shake his head honestly.
Twenty Cows is the girl in purple just now, the unlucky sister Hulu Buhua. In Mongolian, this name means "twenty" and "cow".
Although it is a bit strange, this name is indeed unisex. Maybe in their side, it is similar to the Europeans' John and Paul. It is a universal word. As long as you randomly arrange and combine it, it will form a name.
Having said that, my son is called Guo and my daughter is called Twenty Cows. They are both very traditional names. This is probably how the old herdsmen on the grasslands longed for a well-off life.
Although he didn't know what he was looking for, since his adoptive father was present, he was not afraid of being troubled. Besides, there was Li Xuanying next to him, so even if he caused trouble, he would definitely not be scolded first.
Just as he was thinking about it, his adoptive father walked to the throne and knelt down on one knee on the top step. The queen raised her robe and asked him to give him a symbolic kiss. After the ceremony, the queen asked everyone to sit down. The adoptive father returned to his seat.
, other ministers also sat down.
"Hey, General Guo has such a good temper." Li Xuanying muttered in a low voice: "If I had to kneel down, I would have to throw that Greek bitch out."
"So you can't be a war commander." Shi Ke turned around and scolded in a low voice: "That's my own mother who is having fun, how can you be like this?"
"I think I want to have sex more than I do." Li Xuanying said harshly and finally became honest.
War Commander is the current title of the adoptive father Guo Daxia. I heard that this title appeared very early. Before the 11th century, he was a senior official with actual power. He was responsible for commanding the national army and even serving as regent when the emperor was absent. He had more power than a Taiwei.
.But of course, those who hold this kind of power have a strong tendency to rebel, so later on, the power was divided.
In the era of the Purple Horde Khanate, War Commander was just an honorary title, given to the leader of Nanya Shihou, and was regularly rotated among the families. According to common sense, the adoptive father who is the War Commander should preside over the state meeting now, but
However, the queen appeared and occupied the main seat. People like Li Xuanying were already unhappy with her and would definitely be disgusted.
"Thank you for your hard work. The Patriarch reported that there are important matters related to diplomacy with the Ming Dynasty that need to be discussed at a meeting, so General Guo must urgently summon the ministers who stayed behind to discuss countermeasures." Over there, the queen said: "In this world
Above, Rome and the Ming Dynasty are like Zeus and Hera. The relationship between the two countries is of vital importance. You must consider it carefully and act with caution."
"Weird talk. What a mess of metaphors." Li Xuanying complained in a low voice in Chinese: "Are we still married?"
"Xuanying, what are you talking about?" He kept whispering, and finally caught the queen's attention and asked from the throne.
"It's nothing." Guo Kang quickly smoothed things over: "He just said that Her Majesty the Queen is pleased to see you."
