Lu Xuan arranged for soldiers to notify, then looked at Sureira and ordered: "Surela, go down and wait for Olivia to come to you."
"As you command!"
Suleila retreated honestly.
At this moment, because he had value, he was no longer detained. However, Suleila didn't have the slightest confidence to escape. The city was full of Lu Xuan's people, and Ctesiphon had already fallen. Where else could he escape?
Under the current circumstances, Surera is no longer optimistic about the Roman Empire. The Parthian Empire and the Roman Empire were at war, and they were able to fight back and forth. They were the eldest brother, not to mention the second brother, but they were actually pretty much the same.
Now that Parthia has lost without any resistance, Rome may not be in good shape either.
this is the truth.
Lu Xuan looked at Su Leila's leaving figure. He didn't kill Su Leila for the time being because this person really had a certain value.
Countries such as the Parthian Kingdom and the Roman Empire were all influenced by religion.
The Central Plains dynasties were also influenced by religion.
However, all religions must serve politics and the emperor. Once the influence of religion goes beyond the secular definition and enters the political system, it is natural that the emperors of the Central Plains Dynasty will set off a bloody storm of extermination of religion.
The Parthian Kingdom was different from Rome. As the influence of religion increased, in many cases, religion could override secular politics.
The emperor's succession also required religious coronation.
Imperial power cannot defeat divine power.
This situation must be solved by Lu Xuan, so he first used Surella to pull Surella from the altar and let Surella become his tool man and a dog of the Ming Dynasty.
Slowly, Zoroastrianism lost its roots.
Naturally, there is no influence.
Lu Xuan waited quietly, and not long after, Olivia came in. She felt a little helpless, and even more regretful. If her father had listened to him and negotiated peace with Ming Dynasty, perhaps the current situation of the destruction of her family and country would not have happened.
Olivia entered the hall, saw Lu Xuan, and saluted: "Your Majesty the Emperor."
Lu Xuan waved and said, "Come and sit."
Olivia walked to Lu Xuan's side and sat down awkwardly. She was not used to sitting next to the emperor in broad daylight in public. She leaned against Lu Xuan and asked, "Your Majesty summoned me, what's the matter?"
Lu Xuan said: "As for your father Vorogasis, he is my father-in-law after all. Although the Parthian Kingdom is destroyed, I still hope to keep your father open and keep him alive."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
A look of gratitude appeared on Olivia's face.
Although Olivia is quite innocent politically and does not have the characteristics of being politically sinister. However, she cares about family ties and the life of her father, King Vorogasis V.
Lu Xuan took Olivia's hand and said with a smile: "Thank you, we are still a family after all. The fight between the Parthian Kingdom and the Ming Dynasty is a conflict of interest between the two countries and has nothing to do with your personal friendship with me."
"Actually, you've done a pretty good job."
"You persuaded your father-in-law, but unfortunately, because he had his own ambitions and ideas, he was ultimately defeated and became a prisoner."
"None of this has anything to do with you."
Lu Xuan talked freely, alleviating Olivia's guilt.
Not to mention, after Lu Xuan's words, the helpless expression on Olivia's face dissipated a lot. This time, she did pay a lot for the Anxi Kingdom and tried hard to persuade her father. Unfortunately, her father ambushed Lu Xuan first in Luoying Mountain, and was attacked by Lu Xuan.
Whether it is his father or Lu Xuan, they are both people with ideas.
She couldn't control the two of them.
However, she also tried her best.
Lu Xuan rubbed the back of Olivia's hand and continued: "As for the reason why Parthia was defeated, in fact, it is not my father-in-law's fault, because Parthia has long been an empty frame."
Olivia's curiosity was immediately aroused and she asked: "What does your Majesty mean?"
Lu Xuan said: "I led the army into the city, only to find that the Parthian treasury was empty, with no money, equipment, or armor. I asked Surella, and he said that the Parthian kingdom has been in decline in recent years. I don’t have much foundation left.”
"Everything in the Parthian Kingdom has been divided up by the nobles. Why is the royal family of the Parthian Kingdom relatively weak and only has such a small amount of power?"
"It's just that the local elites have too much power."
"The defeat of the Parthian Kingdom was not so much at the hands of the Ming Dynasty. In fact, it was the defeat by the nobles and city lords in these places. These people were selfish and emptied everything of the Parthian Kingdom. Foundation."
"Therefore, it cannot support the full-scale operations of the Parthian Kingdom."
Lu Xuan's words were bewitching, and he said: "Olivia, I came to the Kingdom of Anthia to bring order to the chaos. Why are the people so difficult, but these nobles are naturally superior to others and want to enjoy the best of everything? I, no agree!"
"I don't agree either!"
Olivia answered without hesitation.
She has little involvement in politics, but has a sense of justice. In Parthia, Olivia is also known for being close to the people.
Lu Xuan nodded and said: "I have surrendered Surella, and he surrendered to me on behalf of Zoroastrianism. At the same time, Surella has told me that all the roots of the Parthian Kingdom lie in these nobles, and we must completely destroy the Parthian in the city of Taisi. Everything about nobility.”
"Surela is an old fox."
"Although this man will carry out orders in order to survive. However, I don't believe him because he is not for the peaceful people."
"So, I hope you will supervise."
"Follow Surella, go check out the Parthian nobles in the city of Ctesiphon one by one. It just so happens that you can also take this opportunity to see how extravagant and lustful these Parthian nobles are and how they have hollowed out their wealth. Rest in peace.”
Lu Xuan said in a deep voice: "I will arrange an army to follow you. Your task is to supervise Surela, and Surela's task is to find people. The army I have arranged is responsible for ransacking homes. The peaceful nobles who cooperated, let bygones be bygones. . Anyone who refuses to cooperate and resist will be killed without mercy."
Olivia thought for a while and glanced at Lu Xuan, feeling that this matter seemed a bit murderous.
However, it is also beneficial to the people.
Olivia also knew in her heart that Lu Xuan used her familiarity with the situation in Parthia to specifically restrain Suleila. In addition, she also wanted to show off and gain more benefits for her father.
Olivia did not say anything more and directly stated: "Your Majesty, please rest assured that I will supervise Surella. Any nobles that Surella has missed, I will add them to ensure that no Noble of Peace is missed."
Lu Xuan looked approvingly and said with a smile: "I believe you."
Olivia actually felt a little bitter in her heart.
She didn't even know if she was doing the right thing now. She once felt that Parthia could not defeat the Ming Dynasty and should sue for peace and a truce. But now, the Parthia Kingdom has been destroyed. What she is doing now is just hoping to show off more and gain some opportunities for her father and brother.
Everything she has done can only be verified by time, and she can't control so much.
Everything is the wave of the times that surrounds her and moves forward.
Lu Xuan and Olivia talked some more, then called Guan Yu, and asked Guan Yu to be responsible for checking the affairs of the resting nobles in Taixi Feng, and asked Guan Yu to lead the army and follow Olivia and Surela.
Guan Yu agreed without hesitation.
He has always loved soldiers as much as his sons, and he also values ordinary people, and is even more hostile to the nobles who exploit the people. Guan Yu hurriedly mobilized his troops, and then followed Olivia and Surella to confiscate their homes and exterminate their clans, and deal with the Parthian nobles.
