Looking at Wang Yuanji's malicious eyes, Liu Chan pretended to be suspicious, then nodded and said: "Well...if you don't remind me, I forgot...these Sasanian women do have their own unique charm...
." As he spoke, Liu Chan deliberately swallowed, looking salivating.
"Your Majesty!" Wang Yuanji said: "I will not disturb Your Majesty. I will leave."
"Hahaha!" Liu Chan was overjoyed when he heard this.
He hugged Wang Yuanji tightly, who was about to get up, and giggled: "Are you jealous, my beloved concubine?"
"No!" Wang Yuanji muttered: "I don't have one!"
"Are you still saying no?" Liu Chan rolled his eyes at first, then in a serious manner, gently pinched the tip of her nose and said: "I have a few of you!"
Wang Yuanji always felt it was untrue when she heard it, and she thought to herself, Your Majesty, you really can bear it.
How many Sasanian women are not allowed to be concubines?
Liu Chan is very sure.
It’s not that he’s not lewd,
In fact, he is quite lustful.
It's just that he is lustful, but he deeply understands that if there are too many women in the harem, it will place extremely high demands on the emperor's waist and kidneys.
I still want to live a few more years.
"My dear concubine!" Liu Chan changed the subject and asked: "My beloved concubine, do you think it's time for us to return to the imperial court now, or..."
Wang Yuanji is quite knowledgeable, which is why Liu Chan deliberately took her with him during his Western expedition.
Wang Yuanji was stunned for a moment, as if she was thinking, and after coming over for a while, she asked: "What do you mean, Your Majesty?"
I asked you, but you asked me instead.
Liu Chan said: "I... didn't think about it for the moment, so I wanted my concubine to give me an idea."
Look at how seriously Liu Chan listens,
Wang Yuanji said: "Although the Sasanian dynasty has been destroyed,
If His Majesty returns to the DPRK, maybe...maybe another war will break out in Sassanid,
Then a new dynasty appears."
"The Han Dynasty has been running the Western Regions for many years. If the Western Regions are unstable..." Wang Yuanji frowned and said, "This will be harmful to the Han Dynasty without any benefit. This Western Expedition will be in vain."
Liu Chan agreed with Wang Yuanji's words. Before the expedition, he had indeed not thought about occupying Sassanid. After all, it was far away from the Central Plains and beyond reach. From Chang'an to Taixi Feng, even if it was a day and night journey, it would take more than half a year.
"What my concubine said is absolutely true!" Liu Chan nodded and said, "If this happens, I'm afraid we will have to stay here for a while longer."
Wang Yuanji also nodded, but felt a little disappointed in her heart.
In fact, she had already guessed it. She just asked Liu Chan when they would return to Chang'an because she wanted to confirm her suspicion.
Now,
Liu Chan’s words are actually very clear.
Entered Ctesiphon,
The city-states of the Sasanian dynasty,
Although he is not a big man yet,
They can also attack the Han army in Ctesiphon, or establish a new king.
But Liu Chan is not afraid, the reason is very simple.
Even though the Han army lost tens of thousands of people in the battle of Assyria, there are still 80,000 Han troops in the city of Taixi at this moment.
Since the Western Expedition, Liu Chan has also been learning about this newly rising dynasty.
The entire Sasanian Empire had a population of more than 40 million, but it was composed of hundreds of city-states. They were not all subordinate to the imperial court like the Central Plains Dynasty, but they were more like a huge empire composed of several small tribes.
.
Now that the Han army has captured Ctesiphon, the kings of the Sasanian Dynasty and the royal family, especially the men, have basically been executed by the Han army.
It is unlikely that the Sasanian Dynasty will resurrect, but the surrounding city-states are an uncertain factor. As Wang Yuanji said, if the Han army withdraws from Ctesiphon and Sasanian and returns to the Central Plains.
In this land, heroes will soon appear side by side, and then attack each other.
No, this is not what Liu Chan wants to see.
In the next few days, the Han army made frequent moves in Ctesiphon.
First of all, most of the Sassanians who can speak Chinese and the Han people doing business in Sassan gathered together.
Although Ctesiphon is now occupied by the Han army and Liu Chan has also moved into the Sasanian Palace, the language barrier is very troublesome.
Five days later.
The Palace of Ctesiphon.
About a thousand people gathered in the main hall. They included Han Chinese and Sassanian people. Relatively speaking, the Sasanian people were the majority. They all knew Chinese and Sasanian language.
Liu Chan looked at them very kindly.
"Everyone!" Liu Chan said loudly: "The reason why I led my royal army to conquer Taixi Feng was not to invade this land, but because the Sasanian royal family took the initiative to become the enemy of my Han Dynasty and attacked my Han Dynasty's vassal state Dawan, which also led to my
My father-in-law, the King of Dayuan, was killed. Whether as the suzerain of Dayuan or as a son-in-law, I have to avenge this revenge."
Liu Chan is not worried about the Han people in the main hall. They must be facing the big Han. Because the big Han has become the master here, the status of these people here will naturally be improved.
But these Sasanians are different.
In their eyes, the Han people are outsiders and a foreign invasion.
Even if they surrender to the Han on the surface, they must be hostile to the Han in their hearts. This does not require investigation at all, it can be thought of by individuals.
Therefore, Liu Chan needs to tell these Sasanians the rationality of this war.
The culprits of this war were not the Han people, but the Sassanians. This is actually the case, and Liu Chan was not talking nonsense.
"Now the Sasanian royal family has all been put to death!" Liu Chan said in a deep voice: "I originally wanted to return to the court...but..." As he said, he frowned and said: "It's just that there are no more in this land now.
Your Majesty, if our great army of the Han Dynasty leaves here and returns to the Central Plains."
Having said this, Liu Chan glanced around the hall, especially those Sasanians.
"I can conclude that...as soon as my Han army leaves Taisi Feng..." Liu Chan said in a deep voice: "The city-states in Sasanian territory will immediately compete for the dominance of this land, and a melee will break out."<
/p>
"What do you think?" Liu Chan asked everyone.
After Liu Chan finished speaking, the entire hall erupted in various voices of discussion.
"Your Majesty is right. Once the Han army withdraws from Sassanid, those city-states will inevitably attack each other and the heroes will rise together."
"But the Han people are not my race."
"Does it make any difference who is the king?"
"..."
The Sasanians made various sounds, but when it came to big men or some objections, their voices were very quiet, and they still used Sasanian.
Suddenly——
An old Sasanian man who was over sixty years old suddenly came out of the queue to protect Liu Chan's chest with one hand, and then asked Liu Chan: "Your Majesty the Emperor of the Han Dynasty, the Han Dynasty and the Sassanids were friendly neighbors, but now unfortunately this war has broken out, who is it?"
It is meaningless to discuss it now."
This old man's clothes are simple, but it is difficult to hide his extraordinary talents. In fact, his words can already show that he feels that he is not an ordinary Sasanian businessman.
As the saying goes, a slap can't make a difference. Since the two countries have already gone to war, is it necessary to discuss whose fault it is now?
Moreover, the Sasanian royal family no longer exists.
The Han army is the winner.
The old man continued: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty the Emperor of the Han Dynasty, now that the Han army has entered the city of Taixi, I have something to ask Your Majesty!"
"Old man, please speak!" Liu Chan was very polite.
"Your Majesty!" The old man said: "As your Majesty said, if the Han army withdraws from Ctesiphon now and returns to the Han Dynasty, we, the Sasanians, will definitely fight for the right to rule and a war will break out." He paused and then asked
: "Your Majesty, if the Han army does not withdraw from Sassanid, how will your Majesty plan to govern Sassanid?"
The old man was a little worried. After all, Han people and Sasanians are two different races.
Now the Han army occupied Ctesi Feng and became the new master of Ctesi Feng.
If previous practices were followed, the Han people would become the superior people in this land, while the Sasanians would naturally have a lower status.
As a result, this land will also be prone to frequent wars.
Of course Liu Chan could hear what the old man meant, so he said with a smile: "If I don't evacuate Sassanid, how will I govern the Han Dynasty? How will I govern Sasanian people? From now on, the Sassanid people will be my subjects of the Han Dynasty. I know how to use a bowl of water."
Duan Ping will not differentiate between Han people or Sassanid people, I will try to be as fair as possible."
This was a very honorable statement. The old man and the hundreds of Sassanians in the main hall naturally would not believe Liu Chan because of this. The old man continued to ask: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty the Han Emperor, then... will your Majesty be able to govern this place?"
A detailed plan for a piece of land."
Is this a thorough inquiry?
Liu Chan said loudly: "The Han people are by no means a warlike nation. On the contrary, we, the Han people, advocate peace more. This time, Master Wang came here because he had no choice." After saying that, Liu Chan paused and then said to everyone: "In order to make peace
The Sassanid transition will be smooth, so that the Han people and the Sassanid people can live in peace from now on, and there will be no more quarrels. I have thought of three things in the past few days, but I don’t know if they are feasible. Please give me some advice."
"First, immediately promote Chinese throughout the territory;"
"Second, abolish slavery immediately;"
"Third, equality for all;"
As soon as Liu Chan finished speaking, the old man asked: "Your Majesty, as the Chinese language is promoted throughout the territory, I wonder if the Sasanians will be prohibited from using their mother tongue?"
The old man is very smart. Liu Chan said that Chinese language should be promoted throughout the country, and he can understand it. After all, as a ruler, if he cannot understand the language of his subjects, then this is a bit of a joke.
However, the Sassanians will all speak Chinese from now on, so what about the Sasanians’ mother tongue?
Forbidden?
If the Sasanians are prohibited from using their native language, the old man knows very well that this will definitely make the Sassanians rise up to resist, and then this land will still inevitably be in war.
The Sasanians definitely don’t want to be assimilated by foreigners.
