Guo Kang's imagination has always been great, and with the information bonus from time travellers, he can shock the people around him every time he lets himself go. After hearing this, the bishop of Rome exclaimed that this boy was so heretical that he must not be allowed to stay.
Everyone is not surprised. Except for the heroine Jean, who couldn't react, everyone else didn't take it seriously.
"Look, I said, isn't this enough?" Tuo Huan said with a smile: "He knows a lot. Calling him a half-immortal is not flattering him."
"Okay, okay, stop teasing me, let's get down to business." Guo Kang waved his hand repeatedly.
"This is also a business matter." Tuohuan pointed out: "What I mean is to tell my sister not to worry about blood and other things. And what's even worse is that I haven't said it directly. I don't really think that our mother's side, It can be considered a noble bloodline."
"Uh, you can't say that..." Guo Kang quickly advised him to say less.
"Hey, back then, it wasn't your great-grandfather who kept talking about being just and right. That's why my ancestor followed the Greek rules and married the daughter of an official so that he could claim to be the bird emperor." Tuo Huan was obviously unwilling: "Actually, what's the use? Isn't it true that Rome's Basileus is a man with strong soldiers and horses? The marriage will create a lot of troubles, and I think it's a big headache."
"That's not what you said." Guo Kang became serious: "What did Confucius say? 'Only names and utensils, not fake people'. As long as you can take something with a name, you must take it." of."
"What we lack is not force. But if there is a problem with the name, even the civil and martial arts like Tang Taizong will be troubled for a long time, and even affect the entire Tang Dynasty."
"We don't have Taizong who can fight, and we don't have the same management level as the famous officials in Zhenguan. When conditions permit, of course we have to pay more attention to the name. The cost is not high anyway, so why not do it?"
"Hey, you're not getting married anyway..." Tuo Huan muttered.
"It's nothing, marriage is a part of politics." Guo Kang didn't care about his complaints: "And I think your father and mother have a good relationship. Why are you worried here?"
He said, just remembering what happened before. At that time, his adoptive father seemed to have mentioned to him once that the queen's family was active again and wanted Tuo Huan to continue marrying their family's daughter. Thinking about it this way...
"No, are you worried about yourself?" He suddenly realized.
She was speechless for a long time, and her expression became awkward. Guo Kang and Theodora couldn't help laughing, and even the Great Lama Wang also laughed and said: "Taijimo should be careful. The queen should just mention it at the request of her family. Her mother-in-law has this wish and will not help. I'm sorry, but that's it. I won't say that I have to marry her."
"Yeah. You're not a philosopher anyway, why would you marry a Greek wife?" Guo Kang also took the opportunity to tease him in turn.
Little Jeanne and Dalai Lama Wang obviously understood, and couldn't help laughing again. Tuo Huan had heard this allusion to Socrates before, and was even more embarrassed. Theodora began to look at Guo Kang meaningfully again.
Only the heroine Jeanne was still confused: "What are you talking about?"
"Nothing, nothing." Guo Kang quickly waved his hand.
Lama Wang looked at Tuohuan and found that he was still depressed, so he looked at Theodora again. Seeing the other party nodding, he began to give Jeanna heroine popular science knowledge.
"Socrates was the founder of classical Greek philosophy, but his wife was a well-known shrew. Later, Socrates chatted with his friends and laughed at himself that all men should get married. Because if he marries a good wife, he He will have a happy life; and if he gets a bad wife, he can become a philosopher."
"I thought everyone knew this story." Guo Kang said with a smile, "Hasn't Miss Jeanne read it?"
"Well, our Tomb Sect has helped people transfer ancient books in history, and we have indeed collected a lot of books. But those books... I can't stand them." The heroine Jeanna said with a headache: "After reading for a long time, I I can't help but want to sleep, so I have always suspected that there is knowledge in philosophy to help sleep..."
Guo Kang was speechless.
"It's okay. Just read it slowly when you encounter something you're interested in. Old man, I didn't like reading when I was young. Now I can still read whatever I should." Lama Wang consoled him.
"As for the meaning of what they said just now, it is not difficult to understand." He explained: "Our queen, the mother of Taiji and the princess, Anna Cordon, is not a direct descendant of the Valleolo family. So. Say, can you understand?"
The heroine Jeanna shook her head decisively.
The Great Lama Wang was slightly surprised, but Theodora had already nodded, so he further explained: "Before we first entered Dadu, the First Khan John VII married John V, an official of the Ba Dynasty at that time. His biological sister. Because according to Roman practice, such a son-in-law has the right to inherit."
"Then when they marry off the princess, aren't they afraid that the inheritance rights will be taken away by others?" Heroine Jeanna asked curiously.
"Another official, John VI, has already married his daughter to the Ottoman Sultan Orhan." The Great Lama Wang had no choice but to tell her: "It will be too late if you hesitate any longer."
"ah……"
"It's pretty good. Before, the Queen Mother's plan was to marry her to a pirate leader on the Aegean Sea, because they wanted to find pirates to borrow ships to fight the civil war." Guo Kang said: "Although we were very poor at the time, But it’s more formal than pirates. It’s not like I’m treating her badly.”
"Oh, by the way, the princess who married Osman was also named Maria. At that time, there were two Marias at the same time." He added: "But the Maria over there is Dun was too young, she was only 14 years old when she got married, and Orhan was 66 years old. So, she was actually the worst off."
"This age difference...well, we have met a lot in Europe anyway." Jeanne hesitated and said, "Is it a political marriage? I didn't go to fall in love with the old man."
"It's not a matter of love or not." Guo Kang corrected: "The age gap is too big, which means that her children don't have much time to grow up. Sure enough, when Orhan died, her only son was only fifteen or sixteen years old. There was no way he could fight against his adult brother. In the end, all the other sons of Orhan were killed by the victorious Murad. This practice has become a habit there. "
"At that time, the officials also had the intention of using the princess and grandson to intervene in the Ottoman government. However, Murad probably did not regard her as a threat and did not use the knife. He just let her go...or drove her back."
"Because at this time, we have returned to the capital. Now, her situation is even more embarrassing than those of the Greek nobles."
