Chapter 621 The Parthian Empire
It is said that Zheng Xuan's "Li" began with a discussion of heaven and earth. The title is: "The earth carries all things, and the sky hangs down all phenomena. Get wealth from the earth, and get the law from the sky. The sky and the earth are dark and yellow, the universe is vast, and the sky and the earth seem to be inseparable. But is the sky bigger or the earth bigger? Is the sky or the earth more important? ? What is the relationship between heaven and earth?"
Heaven and earth were the most confusing things for ancient people. They could not do without the earth and could not see the earth from the perspective of the universe. They could only often use yin and yang to explain those strange celestial phenomena. In the end, they could not explain it, so they created another The five elements.
Yin and yang are relatively easy to understand. They represent the two positive aspects of things, which are opposite but unified. It is yang during the day and yin at night. Men are yang and women are yin. Spring and summer are yang, autumn and winter are yin, and all things can be classified accordingly. The yin and yang are mutually reinforcing and restraining each other, continuously and endlessly, so there are five elements.
Although Chen Long only knows a little bit about the theory of Yin Yang and Five Elements, when it comes to understanding the heaven and earth, who in the world can be better than Chen Long? So Chen Long watched with cold eyes and saw that many big shots looked confused, knowing that his opportunity had come. I am afraid that what I have said is too thorough and will shock the ancients of the Three Kingdoms.
While Chen Long was preparing the answer, everyone stood up to go to the toilet. A group of fans gathered around Zheng Xuan and asked some questions about their daily studies. Senior officials from Xiliang and the patriarchs of aristocratic families exchanged pleasantries and introduced their juniors to each other. Chen Longxing was alone and ignored. He turned his eyes and saw Ma Yunluan getting rid of Zhang Ji's entanglement and walking out of the hall to the backyard alone. He couldn't help but feel a move in his heart. He was busy. He winked at Jiang Wei. Jiang Wei understood, pretended to be on patrol, and followed behind.
Chen Long was watching Ma Yunluo's back disappearing outside the gate when suddenly a hoarse voice sounded beside him. The voice seemed to have iron sand rubbing against his bones. The metallic texture was chilling and aroused goosebumps all over his body. Chen Long hurriedly looked away and saw a strong man in Confucian attire standing proudly on the side of the coffee table. He was only an inch shorter than himself. His face was covered with dense stubble like steel needles. The aquiline nose highlights the identity of the Hu or Persian race. Wearing a Confucian robe on the outside is very inconsistent with his rough and arrogant image, and is in sharp contrast with the Hu robe underneath. Although he was using his bare hands, Chen Long could feel the explosive power in his body under the Confucian uniform.
Chen Long knew that this person was chatting with him, so he hurriedly responded with Confucian etiquette: "I'm Lu Shui Hu Yang, may I ask who this brother is?" He thought to himself that this person was interested in him for some reason.
The big man looked at Chen Long up and down, and said in Chinese mixed with a strong Persian accent: "There are few people in Lushuihu who are as tall as you, little brother. I am from Sassanid, coming from distant Parthia."
Chen Long was confused for a while and had no idea about Parthia at all. Fortunately, his brain had already shown some information about Parthia. Chen Long blurted out in surprise: "The Parthian Empire?"
This time it was Sasan's turn to look surprised and said: "Brother Huaiyang, do you know about the Parthian Empire?"
Chen Long didn't expect that the Persians from far away in the Parthian Empire would also send people to attend the Hundred Tribes Conference. The amount of information in Guang's mind was too huge. He couldn't figure out the clues for a while and asked: "Brother Sasan, the Parthian Empire is thousands of miles away from here." , are you here alone?"
Sasan was obviously not good at lying. Hearing this, he replied: "No, no! My Sasan's fathers have already been to the Protectorate of the Western Regions. I grew up in Takancheng in Qiuci."
Chen Long suddenly said: "It turns out that your father has come all the way. No wonder my brother speaks Chinese so well. But I don't know why your father came here?"
Sashan was very generous. When Chen Long asked, she simply pulled Chen Long to sit a few seats away and said in a deep voice: "To be honest, brother, my father's surname was originally a nobleman in Anxi. At that time, the Protector of the Western Regions in the Han Dynasty was Ban Chao. , he sent his secret envoy Gan Ying on an envoy to the Roman Empire. He met with Pacorus II when passing through Hekatonpilos, and then headed west to the Persian Gulf. My father was a Parthian official there who received distinguished guests from the Han Dynasty. At that time, he arrived in the Roman Empire The only way to get there was by sea, and the sea route around the entire bay was very difficult and difficult. Many people did not return after going to sea. Gan Ying gave up the idea of going to the Roman Empire and wanted to return to the Han court to deliver a message to the emperor. At that time, there was also civil strife within the Parthian Empire. Recently, the Roman emperor supported some puppets to fight for the dominance of the Parthian Empire. My father felt that his life was seriously threatened, so he escaped with his family in the name of escorting Gan Ying back to the Han Dynasty. Finally, with the help of Gan Ying, he was able to protect the Western Regions. Settled near the mansion.”
Chen Long couldn't help but said in awe: "It turns out that my brother came to the Parthian nobles, so you are disrespectful and disrespectful!" In fact, Gan Ying's mission was originally intended to make friends with the Roman Empire, but he did not arrive in the end. It was probably because the Parthians did not want the Han Dynasty to North Korea established direct diplomatic relations with the Roman Empire. Especially after Banchao defeated the Huns in the Han-Hungarian War in the Tarim Basin, not only the Parthian Empire felt the danger, but the Kushan Empire, which was sandwiched between Parthia and the Western Regions, was even more silent. However, the Han Dynasty recorded that in the ninth year of Yanxi, Roman envoys or just Roman merchants arrived in Luoyang, the capital of the Han Dynasty. The Roman emperor at that time was Marcus Aurelius, and the king of the Han Dynasty was Emperor Han Huan. .
Chen Long gradually cleared his mind, thought for a while and asked: "Brother Sashan, since you are a nobleman of Anxi, haven't you ever thought about returning to your hometown? The current situation in the Han Dynasty is changing rapidly, why don't you stay out of it?"
Sassan didn't expect Chen Longjiao's words, and sighed: "The cruelty of Rome tore my Parthian Empire into pieces. Why don't I, Sassan, not want to go back to my hometown? My father misses me day and night, and one day I will go back to my hometown to save the elders in my hometown." Then he stared at Chen Long and continued: "To be honest, brother, I also want to make friends with some forces here. If I can form an army in the future, I can help me return to Anxi. Lu Shuihu, if you can help me restore my country, I am willing to divide the land I conquered equally with my brothers."
Chen Long couldn't help but feel shocked. He didn't expect that the foreign leaders outside the Western Regions were also moving around in Daxiliang. At this time when the Han Dynasty was falling apart, he had to be careful of foreign invasions. From this perspective, it seems that it is urgent to unify Xiliang as soon as possible, consolidate Xiliang's defense strength, and implement a national policy that combines hardness and softness.
Chen Long glanced at Sashan, nodded and said: "It's natural that I can meet you here because I have a fate in my past life. I am the most loyal person, so I will naturally take your brother's words to heart." Sashan was overjoyed and was about to Thanking him, Chen Long continued: "But I don't know what the reputation of Xiongtai's family is in the Parthian Empire? If it can be supported by the Parthian people, it will be great." The implication is that if he wants to get his help, I am afraid he will have to See if the Sasanian family has a good reputation in Parthia.
Sashan slapped her chest and was about to swear an oath to heaven and earth when suddenly a sweet voice came out. It turned out to be Ma Yunluo who had returned and announced that the lecture meeting would continue. Sashan had no choice but to shut up for the time being, indicating that we would talk again during the next break. She returned to her desk not far away, sat down, and exchanged a few words with a young man behind her. The young man covered his head and face with a turban and scarf, and his face could not be seen clearly. Only then did Chen Long gain his attention.
Zheng Xuan stood on the podium again, looked at the audience with a smile, and asked: "Gentlemen, what is the relationship between heaven and earth? Who can tell me the answer first?"
If you want to know what happens next, listen to the explanation next time.
