The first thousand nine hundred and sixty-four chapters are far away
The capital of God, the capital of the Song Dynasty that suddenly appeared, has become the target of worship of all civilizations in this world.
It is the richest place, the most powerful place, the center of world politics.
Whether it is Tubo or India, whether it is Seljuk or Europa, as long as it is a civilization in this world that has its own caravan, you will know the capital of this powerful Eastern empire.
Countless minstrels were reluctant to leave after arriving at the capital of God. Some returned to their hometowns and became popular people in the eyes of the nobles, because these minstrels could reach the capital of the Song Dynasty.
They told everyone who yearned for and could not go to Shendu City. They described the power of the Song Dynasty. The power here was not only the powerful force of this civilization, but also their culture, technology, cultivation and politics...
All of these can become the themes of a banquet. John, the messenger of the Roman Empire, was a friend of the Emperor of the Song Dynasty in private. However, after returning to his hometown, he resigned from his position as the special envoy of his own emperor Henry III and devoted himself to doing business in his hometown.
He owned a large amount of goods from the Song Empire, and the Song merchants were very awe of his identity. After all, he had a very good personal relationship with the Emperor of the Song Dynasty.
The war between the Holy Roman Empire in the southeast was very smooth. The Seljuk Dynasty did not provide much support to the Byzantine Empire, but only provided some assistance in property.
This has greatly helped the Holy Roman Empire's conspiracy to annex Constantinople, the capital of Byzantine. No one knows the final fate of this dynasty, but one thing is that the Byzantine Empire has almost no way to resist under the attack of the Holy Roman Empire.
John was very famous in his hometown, and even the Roman emperor was quite polite to him. When John resigned to the emperor, the emperor was very surprised. His identity was very honorable. Why did he give up all this when the Frankian dynasty was at its peak?
John's answer was simple: "The Emperor of the Song Dynasty said that I am not suitable as a politician or a man who manipulates power. I am only suitable as a simple merchant who sells goods. You are my Majesty, and he is also my Majesty. I think you should follow his advice and stop your footsteps outside Constantinople."
Such an answer made Henry III smile: "He is really as powerful as you said?"
"Your Majesty believes me, he will only be stronger than you think. This time he stopped after capturing the Eastern Defense Line of Seljuk, and the entire Western Defense Line of the Song Dynasty advanced hundreds of miles, and you must know what this means."
Of course Henry III knew, his face looked a little ugly, and he squeezed out a sentence from his teeth: "He is telling Tugluke that he and I are not in the same group!"
"Yes, your Majesty, he is telling everyone that the Song Dynasty will not form an alliance with any country. His strength no longer requires any ally, and no one can use him. It doesn't matter whether I am a chess piece in your hand or not. He is just warning me not to force him to kill me."
Henry III looked at John in surprise: "So he already knows the scene you and I rehearsed?"
John nodded with a wry smile and said, "He would not believe that the messenger of me will become a chess piece in your hand. Or you should not tell me the plan and make me a chess piece. If you tell me, it would be equivalent to telling the Emperor of the Song Dynasty that nothing can be hidden in his eyes unless I am also placed in the fog!"
Henry III touched his head with his hand: "It's really a headache to play chess with this smart man. He can always see the situation clearly. I hate this very much!"
"Dear Your Majesty, please stop and take a break. There must be a reason why the emperor of the Song Dynasty could say this. Whether it is because of the Seljuks or the Byzantines, there is a threat that lies in the dark. However, the emperor of the Song Empire, who is far away in the east, can see this. You should observe it carefully."
Henry III's face turned ferocious, and he clenched his fists and said, "I am determined to win Byzantine. Only in this way can I become the first Roman emperor to ascend to the throne of the pope!"
John took a long breath. In fact, he had already vaguely guessed Henry III's unusualness before. He was so determined and even resolute to send troops to Byzantium. No matter how many people's oppositions were finally rejected by him.
Even the envoys who opposed him sent people to intercept them, etc., were exhausted. If the ideal result was not achieved, the final result would be that the Frankian dynasty would be exhausted.
The powerful princes may become emperor-selects. In order to be strong, they can control everything. This is the declaration of the emperor of the Roman Empire, so this battle is very important to the Frankian dynasty at present.
John knew that his emperor had bet on everything. As the emperor of the Roman Empire, if he could become a pope again, he would definitely push the Frankian dynasty to the top.
But in the same way, the greater the gain, the greater the risk. No one can easily get the throne, and no one can take the risks. But even John doesn't understand what is the risk of the Frankian dynasty at the moment?
The Seljuks did not have any intention to help the Byzantine dynasty in substance. After all, Byzantine claimed to be the Roman Empire, and they never admitted that they were the Byzantine Empire. On the contrary, they always regarded themselves as the Roman Empire.
They also believe in Christ Jesus, but they are Orthodox religions that have been divided from Christianity.
Now, the power between Christianity and the *** religion is already in harmony, and Seljuk has no chance of aiding the Byzantine Empire. On the contrary, after dealing with the war between the Great Song Empire, Tugluk will definitely focus on the west.
Maybe Seljuk, like the Roman Empire, peeked at the Byzantine Empire, which was the only thing Henry III felt he needed to be careful about.
The glory of the Frankian dynasty will also be opened by itself. Once he ascended the position of pope, he must bring this religion that has continuously weakened the imperial power back on the right track.
The Emperor of the Song Dynasty was right. Religion should serve the imperial power, and should not be called a constraint on imperial power. Otherwise, the world will be decided by the "god" rather than humans!
You must have more rights, and make the Frankian dynasty the most unified and powerful dynasty in the history of the Roman Empire. You must be unified like the Eastern empire, destroy the vassal states, eliminate those who oppose you, and call yourself the most powerful emperor of the Roman Empire!
The struggle for secular power between the Catholic Church and the emperor has become fierce. John keenly realized this and intends to follow Zhao Zhen's advice and stay away from all this. If possible, he even hopes to move to the Song Dynasty and never come back.
