Guo Kang discussed this issue with Li Xuanying and others, and they were very straightforward.
The last dynasty in the development of the Greeks to this day was the Palaeolian dynasty. This dynasty began with Michael VIII bullying orphans and widowed mothers, and ended with internal strife between Emperor John II.
And to be honest, this Greek was even more outrageous than the Song Dynasty - in the end, the performance of those few people was roughly equivalent to Lu Xiufu and Zhang Shijie each holding an emperor hostage and fighting a civil war on the cliff mountain. They also rushed to boast that they wanted to hire Kublai Khan to attack the opponent.
It is probably difficult for ordinary people to understand the way of thinking of these Greek nobles...
This thing is not interesting for learning!
Therefore, in order to combat the influence of the Greeks, the Purple Horde also thought of various methods, including opening its own schools, holding examinations, and cultivating talents. In addition, the pillar countries also seek alliances with various forces in the hope of achieving balance.
For this reason, Zi Zhang also imitated the European nobles and began to form marriage alliances. They found various countries as far away as France, and even went to steal marriages with Shinra. But from the current point of view, the effect is relatively limited.
As for what to do, no one has a reliable idea at the moment.
Just as he was thinking about it, someone shouted at the door: "The Queen is here!" Several Russian envoys and Bulgarian officials left them and returned to their seats.
The eunuch in charge led a middle-aged lady in purple robes in, followed by several maids, and a tall girl also in purple robes.
Along the way, everyone in the palace bowed and saluted. When the queen passed by Guo Kang, she nodded to him. Guo Kang lowered his head and waited for her small team to pass by, then raised it and looked around. Unsurprisingly, everyone's expressions were different.
Most of the people in Bei Ya across from them had normal expressions. Several Greek and Serbian civil servants here were also respectful. However, the princes of Nanya were obviously not very happy.
They walked through the middle of the hall, and then walked past Guo Daxia, who also stood up. At the end of the hall, the others stopped. The queen, who was the leader, walked up the steps and sat on the throne of the Great Khan.
Guo Kang saw that when the queen actually sat on the throne, even Shi Ke, who had always been serious, couldn't help but frown.
"Um, Wu Zetian!" Li Xuanying lowered her voice and complained.
Guo Kang shook his head gently and told him not to talk nonsense.
According to Greek tradition, the emperor and the queen often sat side by side, but in everyone's eyes, this was really not a good sign.
According to Shi Ke, in addition to the lessons of the Tang Dynasty, there were also such cases in the Yuan Dynasty not far away from now. The court system of the Yuan Dynasty was very chaotic, and the emperor and queen were equal and appeared in the court. As a result, after the death of Ogedei Khan, Empress Ma Zhen caused chaos in the government; after the death of Guyuk Khan, Empress Hai lost the government and chaos... The political situation was originally unstable, and continued tossing like this directly led to the corruption of the government.
The emperors of the Yuan Dynasty did not learn lessons, and until the last generation, there was still the incident of Empress Qi disrupting the government. The emperor, prince, and empress Qi fought back and forth, and most of the court was in chaos comparable to Constantinople. Even without Zhu Yuanzhang, the imperial court was at the end of its tether. It was just a matter of which warlord would kill it.
Li Xuanying curled her lips in disdain, still looking dissatisfied: "By the way, 'Twenty Cows' kept looking at you just now. Didn't you see?"
Guo Kang was looking around at that time, but did not look towards the throne, so he could only shake his head honestly.
The twenty cows are the girl in purple and the disgraced sister Hulu Buhua. In Mongolian, this name means "twenty" and "cow".
Although it is a bit strange, this name is indeed unisex. Maybe among them, it is similar to the Europeans' John and Paul, and it is a universal word. Just arrange and combine them randomly to form a name.
Having said that, my son is called Guo and my daughter is called Twenty Cows. They are both very traditional names. This is probably what the old herdsmen on the grasslands longed for for a well-off life.
Although he didn't know what he was looking for, since his adoptive father was present, he was not afraid of being troubled. Besides, there was Li Xuanying next to him. Even if something happened, he would definitely not be reprimanded first.
Just as he was thinking about it, his adoptive father walked to the throne and knelt down on one knee on the top step. The queen raised her robe and gave him a symbolic kiss. At the end of the ceremony, the Queen asked everyone to take their seats. The foster father returned to his seat, and other ministers also sat down.
"Hey, General Guo has such a good temper." Li Xuanying muttered in a low voice: "If I were to kneel down, I would have to throw that Greek bitch out."
"So you can't be a war commander." Shi Ke turned around and scolded in a low voice: "That's my own mother who is having fun, how can I be like you?"
"I think I want to have sex more than I do." Li Xuanying said harshly and finally became honest.
War Commander is the current title of his adoptive father Guo Daxia. I heard that this title appeared very early. Before the 11th century, it was a senior official with actual power. He was responsible for commanding the national army and even acting as regent when the emperor was absent. He had more power than a Taiwei. But of course, those who hold this kind of power have a strong tendency to rebel, so later on, the power was divided.
In the era of the Purple Horde Khanate, Warmaster was just an honorary title awarded to the leader of Nanya Shihou, and it was regularly rotated among the families. Normally, the adoptive father as the war commander should be presiding over the state meeting now, but the queen showed up and took the chair. People like Li Xuanying were already unhappy with her and would definitely be disgusted.
"Thank you for your hard work. The Patriarch reported that there are important matters related to diplomacy with the Ming Dynasty that need to be discussed at a meeting, so General Guo must urgently summon the ministers who stayed behind to discuss countermeasures." Over there, the queen said: "In this world Above, Rome and the Ming Dynasty are like Zeus and Hera. The relationship between the two countries is of vital importance. You must consider it carefully and act with caution."
"Weird talk. What a mess of metaphors." Li Xuanying complained in a low voice in Chinese: "Are we still married?"
"Xuanying, what are you talking about?" He kept whispering, and finally caught the queen's attention and asked from the throne.
"It's nothing." Guo Kang quickly smoothed things over: "He just said that Her Majesty the Queen is pleased to see you."
