Fang Zheng rolled his eyes and babbled: "Actually, I saw a map on King Wu's ship. It recorded some news about the West, and King Wu also explained it to me personally."
Emperor Jing asked in confusion: "Huh? Why didn't you tell me about this earlier? Let's talk about it."
Fang Zheng cleared his throat and said, "Actually, I can't confirm whether what he said is true, and the map is too old, and the drawing is actually a bit messy. So I didn't think of saying it if I wasn't sure."
"According to what King Wu said, the West is not a land of barbarians, but has its own culture. The map records that the largest country in the West was named ancient Rome, and the emperor was called Caesar. Originally, the West was also divided, and Caesar was An unparalleled hero, he conquered east and west, made great achievements in battle, and conquered a vast territory."
"But after the country was stabilized, there were still worries about foreign invasion. Emperor Caesar did not hesitate to use the strength of the whole country to build a fortification on the northeastern border, called the Macedonian Defense Line. At the same time, he built a mausoleum for himself. This overseas mausoleum is called a pyramid, with countless huge stones stacked on top of each other. It is completed, which means it is the place where the soul rests. The two huge projects will cost tens of thousands of civilians!"
"Two mountains came down, and the people suffered terribly... so they revolted one after another. Emperor Caesar died on the way before he could lead the expedition in person... The country was in a precarious situation. Emperor Caesar originally left a will to appoint his eldest son Alsace to the throne. . But although this man is talented, he is too honest and honest. Without noticing, his brother Sal, under the instigation of his personal eunuch, manipulated the imperial edict and stole the throne. "
"Fortunately, Alsace also escaped under the cover of the retainers."
Li Yuanzhao was mesmerized by what he heard and fantasized about it again and again.
Emperor Jing closed his eyes and nodded. Although the name was a bit weird, he felt a sense of recognition for being the same emperor.
"At this time, Emperor Caesar's general Sauron saw that the situation was unstable, so he led two of his generals, Dumbledore and Kratos, led an army of 50,000 Spartans, and attempted to rebel in the name of Qingjun. At this point, all the heroes in the world Get up together."
"Saar is an idiot. Before he could react, Sauron kidnapped the emperor to order the princes."
"Ha! This Sauron's arrogant ambition deserves to be killed!" Emperor Jing snorted coldly.
"Your Majesty, I haven't finished speaking yet." Fang Zheng was overjoyed to see Emperor Jing enter the scene.
Damn it, I’m not good at studying history and I’ve forgotten almost all of it, so now I can only dig out all the things in my mind and apply them mechanically!
"Although Sauron gained the upper hand, Arthas, the eldest son of Rome, still has appeal outside the country. The national tokens are passed down in the palace, and the treasure of Nadia is also carried with him! Countless loyal ministers and lofty ideals follow him."
"The empire was torn as a result. Arthas sat in Stormwind City and occupied two provinces, Azeroth and Northrend. He had 200,000 hobbits, 100,000 Nephalem, and top-notch Gandalf, his counselor, advises him."
"The two forces fought for more than ten years, and Sauron finally gained the upper hand, captured Alsace alive, and killed Alsace in the name of a shipwreck. But this man was extremely hypocritical, claiming to be a loyal minister, and finally used the name of mutiny to get himself in yellow robes. "
"After taking control of the country, Sauron summoned the ministers with meritorious service, threatened and induced them at the banquet, and forced the ministers to hand over their military power."
"In the end, after two of his most capable generals handed over their military power, Dumbledore was beheaded, Kratos was exiled, and Rome was transformed into an empire on which the sun never sets... I don't know what happened next."
"I heard from King Wu that this is old history, I don't know how many years ago. Now the West has returned to a state of fragmentation."
"These things are really a bit messy, and I'm going to spit it out today!"
After saying that, Fang Zheng wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.
I dug out all the things in my head and sewed them all together!
And it's reasonable. If there are loopholes, just say that you can't remember it clearly or you've remembered it wrongly.
Emperor Jing frowned, feeling something was wrong... He couldn't tell what was wrong.
Then he asked, "Do you remember all these random names?"
"Your Majesty, these foreign names are so messy. I am more sensitive to these fancy things, so I remember it quite clearly. I heard it from King Wu, and I remember it well. If you don't believe it, your Majesty can take a test on me! "
Emperor Jing waved his hands and sighed, with a hint of confusion in his tone: "According to your statement, these Western countries are indeed not barbarians... but is this true?"
"Your Majesty, this is really untrue, and I can't verify it." Fang Zheng's heart was pounding.
It's really exciting to put this lie on my father-in-law.
But as long as he can make him interested in overseas, it will all be worth it!
"Oh, let's just think he is real for now... It's interesting. I thought about this Caesar for a while, but it's a pity that he is dead. But Sauron and his like are hypocritical and cunning. Now that they have taken the military power, they have to take heavy action. , wouldn’t it chill the hearts of all the people in the world? What a short-sighted person! How dare you claim to be an empire on which the sun never sets.”
"You are so arrogant!" Emperor Jing said disdainfully.
"Your Majesty is mighty. How can Sauron, who is just the fluorescent light of rotten grass, compare to your Majesty's bright moon in the sky!" Fang Zheng seized the opportunity and presented the rainbow fart.
"Father, according to what Lao Fang said, the Western heritage is quite deep, so we have to take precautions in advance!" Li Yuanzhao was extremely excited.
I almost screamed!
I'll ask Lao Fang later...what about Spartans and Hobbits? These people have a lot of tricks to play!
"Your Majesty, this is what I know about Western history. Although I don't know whether it is true or not. But it can't be all false!"
"So I think it is unlikely that the West will regress after so many years?" Fang Zheng asked, while carefully observing Emperor Jing's expression.
Emperor Jing nodded and remained silent.
You can tell it is fake, it has a nose and eyes, it is conclusive, it even has names, the legendary treasure of Nadia is mentioned.
But to say it is true... I feel more and more awkward as I try it, maybe because I am not used to overseas culture!
Fang Zheng asked tentatively: "What do you think, Your Majesty? Are you interested in sending a ship to the West to find out what's going on? I also found a large amount of silk and porcelain on King Wu's ship. It is said that these things are worth as much as gold in the West!"
"If it is true, then when our ordinary things go overseas, they will be replaced by mountains of gold and silver!"
"...It's okay." Emperor Jing hesitated.
If there really is such a country, it is still unclear whether it is an enemy or a friend. But it is always necessary to understand the other party's situation to some extent.
"It's certainly possible to send a fleet out, but we can't open the sea for the time being." Emperor Jing glanced at Fang Zheng meaningfully, and continued: "I know that you will not look back until you hit the south wall, and send a fleet to explore the unknown. There is nothing wrong with the land, but the opening of the sea has a lot to do with it.”
Fang Zheng nodded and said, "Your Majesty is right. However, I believe that if only the imperial court goes to sea, the power will not be enough."
"Only when aristocratic families and civil society forces are fully mobilized can we reap huge profits!"
Emperor Jing looked at Fang Zhengyi and said seriously: "No need to tell me anymore. If you have the ability, go and convince others!"
Fang Zheng was suddenly shocked!
That’s it!
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
