Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    This is the back garden of the Royal Palace of the State of Wu. After Li Ke became emperor, the Wu Palace in Xijing was upgraded to a royal palace after simple renovations. Although the size of this palace is small, Li Ke believes that the State of Wu is still in its infancy.  In this stage, money is needed everywhere, so there is no need to spend too much on the palace. Therefore, the entire palace has only been renovated on the original basis, giving the entire palace more features of Central Plains architecture.

    "Irina, have you really decided?" In the pavilion in the garden, O'Fron looked at his daughter and asked solemnly.

    Irina did not answer in a hurry, but skillfully poured out a few tea balls from the tea tube and threw them into the teapot. Then she picked up the boiling water from the red clay stove next to her and poured it down. After washing the tea, she poured the tea into it.  He poured the boiling water in again, then poured his father a cup of tea and said with a smile: "Father, please try this tea quickly. I heard Sanlang say that this is a tribute tea produced in the Tang Dynasty. Only the royal family can drink it.  And it was just delivered yesterday, Saburo said that if you like it, you can take some back to taste."

    How can Overlon enjoy tea now?  Especially when he saw that his daughter did not answer directly, he was even more anxious. He couldn't help but say again: "Irina, you"

    But before Ophron could say anything, Irina interrupted him with a smile: "Father, I have decided that this time I will not only bring Theodosius to justice, but also fight for the throne."  , became Empress of Rome.¡±

    "Butbut don't you like the kind of life of fighting for power the most?" O'Fron asked very puzzledly. As a father, he naturally knows his daughter's character best, and it is precisely because of this that he will  The choice Irina made was even more puzzling.

    Irina still had a faint smile on her face. She took a sip of tea and immediately felt the fragrance on her lips and teeth.  At that moment, I couldn't help but secretly praise "good tea", and then put down the teacup, and explained to his father with a smile: "Father, don't worry, I am now the first heir to the Roman throne, as long as I can reach Constantinople safely  , I can immediately get the support of most nobles, and it is not difficult to get the throne. Besides, I don¡¯t plan to be the Roman Emperor forever.¡±

    Irina said at the end with a naughty smile on her face.  This made Ofron feel a little dazed for a while. When Irina was a child, every time she was caught shaving herself with a knife while she was taking a nap, she would have this naughty expression.

    O'Flon is not stupid either.  He quickly caught the key to Irina's words, and said with a shocked face: "Irina, you said you don't plan to be the emperor of Rome forever, do you mean"

    "Yes, that's what I thought!" Irina interrupted her father again, with a happy smile on her face.

    ?Similarly, in the study room in the front hall of the palace.  Li Ke and Cen Changqian are also having a conversation about Irina's decision to return to Rome.

    "Your Majesty, the reason why Queen Irina chose to return to Rome so unexpectedly is probably because of you!" Cen Changqian, who was sitting in the study, sipped the tribute tea and said with a pleasant smile.  After Li Ke found him today and told him about Irina's return to Rome, Cen Changqian understood the other party's plan almost immediately.

    After hearing this, Li Ke smiled bitterly and nodded: "Yes, I misunderstood Irina at first. But then I thought about it carefully and found that with Irina's character, I should not choose to return to  Rome, the only possibility is that she came up with a somewhat whimsical idea."

    "No, Your Majesty, you should not use the word 'whimsical' to describe it. On the contrary, in my opinion, Queen Irina's idea is very feasible." Cen Changqian said with some excitement at this time, if it were Irina  If Na really did that, it would undoubtedly be a huge leap in strength for their country, Wu.

    Before Li Ke could ask anything, Cen Changqian said excitedly again: "First of all, after the death of Constans II, according to Roman law, Irina became the first heir to the throne, Theodosius  Although he launched a coup, most of the nobles did not like his violent methods, and with the support of Motan, as long as Irina can return to Constantinople, the throne will be almost within reach."

    "But¡­¡­"

    When Li Ke heard this, he looked embarrassed. He was about to say something more, but was interrupted by Cen Changqian: "Those who achieve great things do not stick to trivial matters, and the marriage between the two countries has existed since ancient times. Let's not talk about the one in the Central Plains for now.  Didn¡¯t the Romans formally gain control of Egypt through marriage in the past?¡±

    Hearing that Cen Changqian even mentioned Cleopatra in Roman history, Li Ke was completely speechless.  According to Irina's temperament, she should not be interested in the Roman throne. The only possibility is that she wants to win the Roman throne and then marry herself. In this way, Li Ke also has the qualifications for the Roman throne.  Inheritance qualifications, when the time comes, Irina will give up the throne to him, it is also because of love.No one can stop it.

    Regarding this point, Li Ke has already received confirmation from O'Fron. Irina may be worried that Li Ke will prevent her from returning to Rome, so she did not tell him herself. Even Li Ke quietly confirmed it to O'Flon. Now Irina  Linna didn't know yet that Li Ke knew her plan.

    Seeing that Li Ke was still a little hesitant, Cen Changqian thought about it and immediately understood Li Ke's concerns. She smiled and said: "Your Majesty, you must be worried about the safety of Queen Irina. Although Theodosius used to  He has received our help and has been an ally with Queen Irina for a period of time, but this person is flexible and flexible, and he is definitely not a soft-hearted person, so he will definitely interfere with Queen Irina on her way back, and even let the queen  Die on the road.¡±

    "That's right, how can I, a great man, let the woman I love take risks for me?" Li Ke also sighed at this time. Cen Changqian's words indeed touched on what he was most worried about.

    However, a proud smile appeared on Cen Changqian's face and she said: "Your Majesty, don't worry, this problem is actually not difficult to solve. All you need is one person to accompany Queen Irina back to Rome."

    "Who?" Li Ke asked instinctively, but he immediately realized that the person Cen Changqian was talking about could be other than himself.

    As Li Ke, he lent some courage to Theodosius, and he did not dare to harm himself, so as long as Irina stayed with him every day, there would definitely be no problem in ensuring safety, not to mention that as a big Wu  If the emperor went to Rome, he would definitely bring a large fleet with him. With the strength of their navy, they would be able to fight their way out even in a head-on battle with the Roman navy.

    But there is also a problem, that is, now that the Kingdom of Wu has just been established, if Li Ke, as the king, leaves rashly, will it have any impact on the country?  If the Goths, who were driven out of the Iberian Peninsula, took the opportunity to attack, it would definitely be a life-or-death test for Wu.

    Thinking of this, Li Ke couldn't help but show hesitation on his face, but then Cen Changqian continued: "As for domestic security, your Majesty does not have to worry, your trip cannot be kept secret, so we will simply make it public.  Tell the people at home and let them know what happened in Rome. You left to escort Queen Irina. This will definitely make those Romans grateful. Coupled with the deterrence of the army, at least within half a year, it will definitely not be possible.  What could be the problem?"

    "As for the Visigoths who were driven to Europe, if they want to enter the Iberian Peninsula, they can only pass through the mountain passes at both ends of the Pyrenees Mountains. The mountain pass at the east end has fallen into our hands. Now Jianyang City is heavily guarded.  There are also forts built on the mountains on both sides, so there is no need to worry about the attack of the Goths. As for the mountain pass at the west end, it is the territory of the Basques. These Basques originally did not obey the rule of the Goths. Now the Goths  After being driven away, we sent envoys to actively contact them and got them to agree to become our subjects. We also prohibited the Visigoths from passing through the mountain pass at the west end. Therefore, unless the other party attacks from the sea, there is no possibility of them appearing in Ibi.  Leah Peninsula!¡±

    Cen Changqian is resourceful and young, and he likes to take risks. He knows that Li Ke leaving Wu now may cause some problems for Wu, but he also knows that if Irina can really become the Empress of Rome, then she will bring them  The benefits will also be very huge. At least in his opinion, this risk is worth taking.

    Li Ke also knows Cen Changqian's talents. Now that he has analyzed clearly and is well prepared in all aspects, he can't help but be very excited.  He suddenly stood up, walked back and forth in the study several times, and finally gritted his teeth and said: "Okay, in that case, I will accompany Irina. As for domestic matters, I will leave them to you and me."  It¡¯s a square wing!¡±

    "Thank you for your majesty's trust. I will definitely live up to your majesty's trust and work together with other ministers to protect the safety of our country!" Cen Changqian also looked solemn. After thinking about it finally, she warned again very seriously: "But your majesty  This time when you go to Rome, you must be careful. Theodosius is very tolerant, but if he is forced to a dead end, he is likely to give up. Therefore, your Majesty must not move when dealing with him.  Otherwise, the opponent must be completely pulled out as soon as he makes a move, and we must not leave him a chance to come back like Constans II did!"

    "I understand this. In addition, in order to ensure safety, I need to bring a strong army, mainly the navy. You need to discuss this matter with Fang Yi and try to mobilize as many main warships as possible." Li Ke  After hearing this, he nodded.

    ¡°Then Li Ke thought that he needed to talk to Irina about this first. She must be very happy when she knows that she is also going to Rome together!  To be continued)
