When the old man stepped forward to answer, Marcus naturally didn't dare to play tricks or expression management, so he planned to admit his mistake first and foremost on the spot.
This is actually a very profitable business for young people. As long as you are facing truly talented and virtuous seniors, being humble is not a disadvantage. Anyway, being humble does not cost money, but you can draw a lottery, and you will have a better future.
Wuliang, whether it is directly arranging opportunities for yourself or giving important career guidance, it is valuable, and it is valuable.
Before Marcus could say a few words, Spruius had already waved his hand, "You are the best among the young people in Rome. Even if you escape back, you don't have to be so ashamed. After all, you already know how to be ashamed."
The old man spoke with a smile, which seemed normal, but contained a vague philosophy - this immediately made Marcus feel a chill in his heart, and he secretly thought that this old man was indeed an old man, and he looked like he had a lot of attainments at first sight.
I am still unsure about this matter. As for how His Majesty can be confident after I consult him, that depends on the situation. "Spurius, do you think this matter can be resolved smoothly?"
"
Marcus asked bluntly, because the senior in front of him said this, so he must have some opinions.
A sage like Splius shouldn't be clueless, right?
But just when Marcus started to look forward to it, the next moment he saw the old man in a fine linen robe shook his head directly, "No, actually I have no clue. Talking about things that I am not familiar with is not wisdom, right and wrong. The history of the Tang Empire is too
long."
Saying this, Splius frowned, his eyes showed deep concern, and he shook his head.
Marcus couldn't help but feel nervous. It turned out that his feelings and choices in this matter were not only correct, but also very correct? This matter was indeed extremely risky?
But what I don't understand is why Splius suddenly mentioned the history of Selis.
Is there anything to say about a long history? Every land in this world has a long history.
Of course, if we are talking about a specific country or city-state, it may not have a long history, but in this way, the history of the Tang Empire does not seem to be long. Like Rome, they have just changed dynasties.
What's there to say?
Since Splius sighed like this, he should be referring to the land of Selis.
This, so what? So what if it has a long history?
Marcus couldn't quite understand what Splius said, but before he could continue to ask for advice, he saw little Hannibal coming out of the tent.
Seeing two ministers, one old and one young, he pondered for a moment, and then sighed, "Even the king doesn't know about this matter and can't control it."
"This, Your Majesty, how could this happen?"
"No direction at all?"
When Marcus heard that the emperor actually said this, he was stunned on the spot, and he fired out questions like a barrage of questions. However, little Hannibal didn't seem to be surprised by Marcus's reaction.
Originally, of course, ministers could not talk to the emperor like this, but at this moment, little Hannibal looked like he had no intention of paying attention to the ministers' etiquette issues. He shook his head and sighed, "The king has already said that Selis has governed the world with filial piety since ancient times.
.It means that children must serve their parents and ministers must serve their monarch and cannot disobey them."
"However, despite the existence of these ethics, Thalys is not that simple."
"In Selis, there is also a saying that 'a small stick leads to suffering, a big stick leads to walking', which also has a long history. The entire society of Selis has been divided from ancient times to the present. Regardless of the Tang Empire's
No matter how powerful the monarch is, the world of Selis will always be divided into two parts: 'temple' and 'jianghu'."
"Although the Salis people formed a powerful army with the monarchs of the Tang Empire, according to true tradition, the Salis people have always had two choices. One is to follow the emperor and be loyal to the emperor, and at the same time expand the territory opened by the emperor.
You can also get dividends from soil activities.”
"The other type is the so-called 'Jianghu'. As long as anyone is willing, he always has the right to leave the emperor's command and live in the wilderness. Of course, the price of freedom is that the emperor does not have to give him anything. To put it simply
, that’s it.”
"That's what the king said anyway."
After briefly describing the situation of Selis that he had just heard in the tent, little Hannibal's brows furrowed and became more and more nervous, and sighs leaked out of his throat one after another.
"The king himself has only recently realized that Seris is indeed an abyss."
Little Hannibal sighed with emotion, already secretly planning to let Marcus rest like this for the night.
As for this matter.
Obviously, it is impossible to draw any reliable conclusions in a short while.
Life is so difficult. Although he sighed in his heart, little Hannibal also knew that as a king, he could not act rashly, but he also could not be timid.
But on the other hand, you need to be brave enough, but you also need to be cautious.
This is true.
The old man Splius, who had been silent all this time, watched the conversation between the emperor and the young minister without showing any expression. It seemed that he was not interested in what little Hannibal was relaying.
However, at the moment when little Hannibal was talking to himself after finishing speaking, Splius's old eyes suddenly lit up. Although his eyelids were still lowered and reserved, the luster under his eyes still shone clearly.
one time.
——It’s just that in this wilderness of night and in the flickering of the campfire, even clear things are often not clear.
Splius frowned slightly, obviously, little Hannibal's words made him feel extremely concerned.
This minister named "King" is considered a celebrity in Rome, and his prestige is even higher than that of his own old Rome. Although everyone habitually calls him a Tatar, Splius still knows the situation.
Yes, these people are out-and-out real Selis people, not Tatars who are close to the European continent in latitude and quite primitive in culture.
Although it is true that Rome is now facing the powerful Tang Empire, which is why I have to think about this series of things at this moment, but to be honest, starting from the very beginning, in fact Rome
The country's national strength has also been rising.
This point did not change even when the northern mountainous areas of Europe were fighting, and the Roman legions and the Tang Empire's armies were constantly fighting. It was just that most of the increase in national power at that time was flattened by losses.
