When all the generals heard Young Master Liu's somewhat regretful tone, they all lowered their heads with lonely expressions.
Facing the situation in front of them, their mood was no better than Liu Mingzhi's.
After Liu Mingzhi took another sip of wine, he turned to look at Nangong Ye.
"Uncle, what's the situation over there in Tianzhu?"
When Nangong Ye saw Young Master Liu suddenly changing the topic to Tianzhu, he immediately replied: "Your Majesty, the situation in Tianzhu is similar to the problem in Dashi Kingdom.
The overall situation is relatively stable, but there will be some unrest in some places from time to time."
Liu Mingzhi frowned and wiped the drink from the corner of his mouth with his fingers.
"Are some of the remnants of the Tianzhu imperial court continuing to cause chaos? Are there still some Tianzhu people who are unwilling to surrender to the rule of our Great Dragon Heavenly Dynasty?"
"Your Majesty, that's exactly what it is."
Liu Mingzhi nodded lightly, flexibly turning the wine cork in his hand with his fingers, and fell into silence with a frown on his face.
Nangong Ye, Zhang Kuang, Wanyan Chiezha, Cheng Kai, Han Peng and others looked at the frowning Young Master Liu and stopped their movements one by one.
I was afraid that I might accidentally get into trouble with Mr. Liu.
They are all bright-sighted people, and they can naturally see that Young Master Liu is in a bad mood at the moment.
At this time, the only right choice is to stand quietly aside.
After a long time.
Young Master Liu breathed a sigh of relief, turned around and looked at the man who was holding a dry tobacco bag in one hand, silently taking a sip and puffing away the smoke.
"Uncle, how is the situation in Rome? Is it still stable?"
When Zhang Kuang heard Young Master Liu's inquiry, he quickly took out the cigarette holder from his mouth and nodded gently to Young Master Liu.
"Back to Your Majesty, the current situation in the Kingdom of Rome is very different from that in the Kingdom of Dashi, but it is quite stable."
Half a month ago, the new king of Rome, who was supported by his old ministers and others, specially sent people to invite them to the Colosseum in their country to watch a very exciting beast-fighting performance.
"
Liu Mingzhi raised his eyebrows slightly and glanced at the surrounding generals with interest.
"Colosseum?"
"Your Majesty, that's right."
"Then did you go?"
Hearing Young Master Liu's curious tone, arrogance, and Nangong Ye, they all looked at each other and nodded in unison with slightly nervous expressions.
"Back to Your Majesty, I have nothing to do but stay idle in the royal city of Baghdad. In addition, the King of Rome sincerely invites me, and I cannot refuse the hospitality, so I have no choice but to go to Rome to keep the appointment."
"Your Majesty, before I went to Rome, I had already taken care of everything and arranged everything.
My ministers have definitely not left their posts without authorization, and I hope your Majesty will learn from it."
"I am waiting for your Majesty to learn clearly."
"Okay, okay, just go and go. I don't mean to blame you."
"Your Majesty, Holy Ming, thank you very much, Your Majesty."
"Tell me, young master, how the situation is in the Colosseum. Is it fun?"
"Your Majesty, it's a little cruel, but at the same time it's very stimulating. It makes people's blood boil uncontrollably."
"Cruel? How to say?"
"Back to Your Majesty, in the Colosseum, in addition to the fight between wild beasts, there are also fights between humans and wild beasts.
Some people are very brave and can barely subdue or kill ferocious beasts even after sacrificing half their lives.
Some people are not so lucky and will be killed by wild beasts on the spot."
After listening to the crazy explanation, Liu Mingzhi nodded with a clear expression.
"I see. By the way, what's going on with the king you supported? What's his attitude towards our Great Dragon Kingdom?"
"Your Majesty, as far as the current situation is concerned, I can see that he is still very dependent on us.
After all, without the strong support of his ministers, his throne would be unstable.
As for what it will be like in the future, I can't guarantee it.
The veteran can sense that this person is not the kind of person who is willing to live under others for a long time.
Don't look at this person now, he has always been groveling and respectful to his ministers.
However, I can vaguely see that if this person seizes an opportunity to escape the control of our dragon, he will definitely betray us without hesitation.
After the ministers returned from Rome, they immediately began to discuss whether to replace this person and support a new person to be the new king of Rome."
Liu Mingzhi raised the wine bag and took a sip of wine, then rolled his eyes thoughtfully.
"Uncle, is this person ambitious?"
Zhang Kuang nodded lightly and replied without hesitation: "Not only is he ambitious, but his ambition is not small.
However, this person is better at forbearing. For now, this person has not really exposed his little thoughts.
But, young people will be young people after all.
Sometimes, when you are in a happy mood, some real thoughts will inevitably be exposed.
I can tell something based on his words, deeds, and changes in his expression.
correct.
Your Majesty, since we have said this, you have already arrived at Dashi Country, so the old minister and others do not need to continue the discussion.
Your Majesty, in your opinion, should this person be replaced and a new king be established?"
Liu Mingzhi closed the stopper on the wine bag and pointed to the city wall on the left.
"It's really boring to sit here all the time.
Let's go, let me walk around with you. I'll take the opportunity to appreciate the scenery around the King's City of Dashi.
Let’s talk about things about Rome while walking.”
After hearing Young Master Liu's words, everyone immediately made way for Young Master Liu to make way.
"Your Majesty, please."
"Your Majesty, please."
Liu Mingzhi nodded slightly, put the wine bag on his waist, turned around and waved to the little cutie who was sitting on a chair more than ten steps away, eating melon seeds boredly.
"Yue'er, come here."
"Hey, here we come."
The little cutie responded directly, stood up suddenly, and trotted to Young Master Liu with a smile and stopped in front of him.
"Dad, what's the matter with calling me Yue'er?"
Liu Mingzhi smiled lightly and pointed at the small cloth bag on the little cute Liu's waist.
"Girl, do you still have many melon seeds on you? Give me some for my father."
The little cutie nodded hurriedly, took off the small bag from her waist, and handed it to Young Master Liu with a smile.
"Daddy, here you go."
Liu Mingzhi took the little bag with melon seeds in the little cutie's hand and waved his hand with a smile.
"Yue'er, please go back and sit down. It will take about a cup of tea before the soldiers will serve you the food."
"Dad, what are you going to do?"
"I don't want to sit still all the time, so I plan to walk around on the city wall and appreciate the scenery outside the King of Food."
The little cutie looked back at Qi Yun, the third princess, the queen, Wenren Yunshu and the other sisters, and pinched her pretty nose with a smile.
"Dad, Yue'er has been sitting here and she feels bored to death. I also want to follow you around on the city wall so that I can enjoy the scenery outside the city."
When Young Master Liu heard the little cutie's request, he frowned instinctively.
"Stinky girl, you've been traveling for a long time, aren't you hungry?"
The little cutie caressed her small waist, and replied with a smile: "Dad, Yue'er ate several pieces of cakes on the road, and she's not very hungry yet."
Liu Mingzhi chuckled, shook his head, and walked forward first.
"Okay, since you're not hungry, you can follow if you want."
The little cutie looked happy, smiled and hurriedly followed Mr. Liu.
"Hey hey hey, thank you daddy."
Arrogant, Wanyan and the rest of the group saw this and chased after him with smiles on their faces.
"Yun'er, Yan'er."
"Hey, husband?"
"I am here, husband?"
"You sisters, continue to wait for the food, and go take a look around for your husband."
When all the beauties heard this, they all smiled and nodded their heads a few times.
"Hey, I know it."
After cracking a few melon seeds, Young Master Liu cheerfully held up a small cloth bag containing melon seeds and gestured to the large group of generals following him on both sides.
"Uncle, uncle, brothers, do you want some?"
"Your Majesty, you're welcome, veteran."
"Your Majesty, please come too, veteran minister."
"Your Majesty, please come too."
Liu Mingzhi looked at the unceremonious generals and glanced at the little cutie who was jumping up and down while holding a telescope and looking at the scenery outside the city with a faint smile.
"Yue'er, are you willing to bear it?"
The little cutie held up the telescope in one hand and looked at the scenery outside the city, waving his hand without looking back.
"Eat, eat, there are still many in Yue'er's carriage."
"Hahaha, thank you so much, Your Royal Highness the Fourth Princess."
"Your Highness, thank you very much."
"Oh, you're welcome, you're welcome, you can just bump into each other as you please."
While a group of people were walking, the soldiers on duty on the city wall and the soldiers on patrol suddenly became excited when they saw Young Master Liu taking the lead.
However, when they saw Young Master Liu talking softly with Zhang Kuang, Nangong Ye and the other generals, all the soldiers suppressed the excitement in their hearts and did not directly gather to give Liu a message.
Very rare courtesy.
Liu Mingzhi saw the excited expressions of the surrounding soldiers looking at him, and chuckled as he spit out the melon seed shells on his tongue.
"Uncle, what is the name of the king of Rome you are talking about?"
"Your Majesty, this person's name is Alexander Peter."
"Alexander Peter."
"Exactly. However, there is a long paragraph of his name after it. To save trouble, I won't say it out one by one."
Young Master Liu laughed and cracked a melon seed, then turned his head and glanced at Zhang Kuang with a half-smile.
"Uncle, why do I feel like you can't remember this young master?"
Listening to Young Master Liu's narrow tone, Zhang Kuang looked embarrassed.
"Uh! Uh! This, this."
After Zhang Kuang snorted a few times, he nodded with a slightly embarrassed expression!
"Your Majesty, your Majesty, to be honest, I really can't remember all the names of these Westerners.
A name has at least seven or eight characters, and sometimes even a dozen characters. It can be said to be long and difficult to pronounce.
For example, the Alexander Peter that the veteran just mentioned has about a dozen characters after his name.
The exact number is a dozen words, and I have forgotten it."
As he spoke arrogantly, he immediately turned to look at Nangong Ye.
"Brother Nangong, how many characters does his name have?"
Nangong Ye's face froze, and he scratched his head with a very troubled face.
"Um, I can't remember clearly. Thirteen? Fifteen, or sixteen."
Zhang Kuang saw Nangong Ye's troubled expression and immediately turned his attention to Young Master Liu.
"Your Majesty, you have seen that I am not the only one who cannot remember all the names of these Westerners."
"Uncles, let's not talk about names anymore. Let's continue talking about Alexander Peter."
"Yes, yes, that's too far, too far.
Your Majesty, veteran, the question is still the same as before. In your opinion, should this person be replaced and support a new king?"
Liu Mingzhi frowned slightly, picked up a peanut from the palm of his left hand and threw it into his mouth.
"Is this person ambitious?"
"Yes, very ambitious."
"Master, remember what you said just now, uncle, that this person is still very dependent on our dragon?"
"Your Majesty, that's exactly what it is.
Without the support of his ministers, this person would naturally not be able to sit in that position.
If we no longer support him in assuming the throne of Rome, we only need to casually reveal some rumors, and he will send people to contact his ministers.
Then, try every means to get support from your ministers and others.
After that, Your Majesty, you should understand."
"So, this person
"Back to Your Majesty, according to my observation of those people, it is indeed the case."
Liu Mingzhi rolled his eyes slightly, lowered his head and spit out the melon seed shells in his mouth.
"Uncle, if that's the case, then why bother to replace someone as the king of Rome?
They are all very ambitious people. How do you know that if you change someone else, his ambition will be smaller than that of Alexander Peter?
Maybe the next person’s ambition is even stronger than his!”
"Your Majesty has a keen eye and saw the key to it all at once.
Lao Chen and other brothers, it was precisely because of this consideration that they had been slow to come up with a specific result.
That’s why I want to ask His Majesty’s opinion.”
Liu Mingzhi narrowed his eyes slightly and frowned slightly as he pondered.
After a while.
Liu Mingzhi took off the wine bag from his waist, raised his head and took a few sips of the wine.
"Uncle, how many soldiers and horses do we have in Rome now?"
"All the troops and horses put together are more than 53,000 people."
"More than fifty-three thousand people?"
"Your Majesty, that's right."
"Approximately how many people did all the troops and horses in Rome have together?"
"There are 30,000 soldiers and horses in the royal city, plus the soldiers and horses in the large and small cities within its territory, there are about 120,000 soldiers and horses in total."
Young Master Liu frowned and glanced at Zhang Kuang in surprise.
"All the troops and horses put together are only about 120,000, so few?"
Zhang Kuang looked at Young Master Liu's surprised look, smiled bitterly and shook his head.
"Your Majesty, not all kingdoms are as prosperous as our Great Dragon Kingdom.
The position of the Roman Kingdom was between the Great Eating Kingdom, the Prussian Kingdom, and the Frankish Kingdom.
The Roman state survived in the cracks between the three kingdoms, and it was able to gather 120,000 troops, which is already a lot."
