Everyone present knows that the first evil refers to the brothers Caracalla and Getta. Now Caracalla's whereabouts are unknown, and only Getta should be killed. Liu Xin waved his hand and announced that the banquet was over and everyone went to the arena.
The Arena is an iconic building in the city of Rome, also known as the Colosseum. The magnificent round building can accommodate more than 90,000 spectators at the same time, making Liu Xin amazed. However, now there are only a few hundred spectators sitting in the front row of the Colosseum. Except for Liu Xin's civil and military ministers and the kings of the fifty-five newly independent countries, the captured officials and nobles in the city of Rome Was also taken here.
Before Geeta was executed, Liu Xin first ordered fireworks to be set off. These colorful fireworks were originally used by the military to transmit signals, and it was the first time that they were used to celebrate victory. Although it was daytime, the colorful fireworks still amazed these kings. As for those nobles, because they were worried about their own life and death, they had no time to appreciate them.
After the fireworks were set off, Getta was taken into the Colosseum. In just a few days, Getta seemed to be ten years old, and his blonde hair on both temples turned white. The guard threw down a broad sword and a shield, and then backed out.
At this time, Liu Xin turned to the crowd and asked, "Everyone, do you like watching gladiators fighting each other, or watching gladiators fighting beasts?"
Everyone trembles and dare not speak. Liu Xin smiled and said, "Forget it, if you find a gladiator to fight Gaeta, if Gaeta wins, wouldn't it be a waste of life? I have always been kind, and let Gaeta compare with the beast. Right!"
How dare these people have any opinions? Not only did they have no opinion, but they also praised Liu Xin insincerely. It was nothing more than saying that your Majesty was kind by nature, and that it was the blessing of all people in the world.
Liu Xin didn't care, he smiled, waved his hand, and said, "Let it go."
With this order, the four iron gates in the Colosseum were opened at the same time, and four ferocious beasts roared into the arena, two lions, a tiger, and a cheetah. In order to make the scene more thrilling, these beasts have not eaten anything for three consecutive days.
Suddenly, a person stood up and said, "His Majesty, the emperor of Han Dynasty, is usually a warrior fighting a beast. This seems to be out of order."
Liu Xin had done some homework before. Although he could not name this person, he knew that he was the king of Lower Germania. The two provinces of Upper Germania and Lower Germania were originally the territory of Getta. Many kings in the territory have a relationship with Getta in one way or another. Maybe this king is a relative of Getta.
However, Liu Xin was not angry, nor did he incriminate him because the king interceded for Geta. Just said indifferently: "Now it is not a gladiatorial performance, but the execution of Geta. Naturally, it is different from usual. Besides, the rules are determined by people. Now I want to change the rules. You have no opinion."
Although Liu Xin smiled when she said this, her eyes were sharp when she looked at everyone. Who would dare to say anything more. And even if they had opinions and Liu Xin was willing to listen to them, it was too late. Hearing a screaming scream from the Colosseum, when everyone looked at it quickly, Geeta was already thrown to the ground by a lion and bit his throat. Immediately, the colosseum roared like thunder, and the four beasts bite each other in order to fight for the corpse of Gita, and the fierceness was no less than the battle between humans and beasts.
After half an hour, the melee finally came out. The three beasts each curled up, leaving only a strong lion to enjoy this delicious meal.
Although the scene was bloody, these people in Daqin had long been used to it, and they didn't even find it irritating, and Dahan's civil and military also crawled out of the dead, with no fear on his face. At this moment, Liu Xin turned to the crowd and said faintly: "Look, everyone, the fight between the beasts is equally exciting, so why must people participate? In my opinion, in the future, there will be no more horns in the Colosseum. Fighter join in."
He is eloquent now, who would dare not listen? Because of his words, I don't know how many gladiator lives have been saved. Of course, the bloodthirsty characteristics of the Daqin people are also difficult to change for a while. Since then, there have been no gladiator performances in the Colosseum, but there have been many underground gladiatorial performances, which is beyond Liu Xin's control.
Gita was brutally executed, Liu Xin suddenly ordered the release of all captured Roman nobles and officials, and returned to the confiscated land and houses. All the beautiful girls who danced in the palace hall just now were all brought home by them. This sudden order made the Roman aristocrats who thought they were going to die so ecstatic that they couldn't believe their ears.
Originally, Liu Xin planned to execute all these nobles, and bring his wife and daughters back to Chang'an to be distributed to the officials as the spoils of war. It’s just that she was worried that it would upset Ma Yun. Second, from the beginning of these wars, Liu Xin had a clear goal, which was to overthrow the rule of the Great Qin Empire and divide this huge empire into countless small countries, not by occupying it. for purpose. Now that this goal has been basically achieved, his strategy should be changed from being tough to being benevolent.
In this war, the Han army not only suffered heavy casualties, but also consumed a huge amount of materials. In order to make up for the loss, the property confiscated from the homes of these nobles can only be partially returned to them. However, for these nobles, it is good to be able to survive. Now they have not only taken back their houses and land, but also some of their belongings. That is already a surprise. Who dares to make further progress and make other demands.
Three days later, Liu Xin led the army to return to the court, and did not leave a single soldier in the fifty-five kingdoms of the Qin Dynasty. This made the kings of all countries deeply admired.
After a few more days, the army arrived in the capital of Parthia, Taixifeng. At this time, Zhao Yun had completely defeated Arshak and captured Ardaban. Volojis also heard the news that the Han army had captured Rome. He was afraid of being hit by the Han army, so he dragged the sick body to the Han army camp to plead guilty. Zhao Yun was temporarily detained and Tai Xifeng fell into the control of the Han army. in.
Tai Xifeng was attacked twice by the Da Qin army and was devastated by the Da Qin army. Later, with the help of the Han army, Tai Xifeng returned to Parthia. During the time when the Han army was in Taixifeng, they had no offense with Minqiu. Therefore, the Han army's return to Taixifeng this time is more popular than Volojis and his sons.
After Liu Xin entered the Sealed City of Taixi, he did not question Volojis because of Parthia's double-handedness, but sent a letter to Arshak, asking him to meet in the Sealed City of Taixi.
Although Arshak was afraid, he didn't dare not come. Fortunately, after Liu Xin saw the three of them, he didn't mention the old things again, but comforted them with a pleasant remark. At the same time, it was proposed that the Parthia should be divided into three, and the Vologis father and son will each lead one. The unified parthiya is still used for the outside and the internal self-rule.
For this plan, Volojis and Arshak disagree, but the situation is better than others, so you can't help but bow your head. Aldaban raised his hands in favor. Although he didn't fight for the right to succeed to the throne, he still had his own world, and the look in Liu Xin's eyes was a little different.
After dealing with the grievances between the father and son Volojis, Liu Xin turned around and reprimanded Liu Yu and Bian Zhang, two daring guys. When it was in Chang'an, the two brothers would inevitably be locked up for a few days. Although Liu Xin has always emphasized that children should not be cultivated as flowers in the greenhouse, and more experience is needed, but there should be a degree. This time they ran away from home, obviously a little too late.
At this moment, the guard outside the door came to report, saying that it was Aldaban begging to see him. Liu Xin knew that Alda Bandeli was the biggest in this arrangement. He must have come to express his gratitude, so he waved his hand and asked the guard to let him in.
Sure enough, Ardaban paid homage as soon as he entered the door, and then said: "His Majesty the Emperor of Han, Xiao Wang has a woman who is a young woman, and I would like to dedicate it to your Majesty and serve the pillow seat. I hope that your Majesty will not refuse.
Liu Xin was taken aback, and immediately asked: "But the one Xu married to Caracalla?"
Old Aldaban blushed and said cheeky: "Sure enough, there is nothing to hide from your Majesty, it is this woman. This woman..."
Liu Xin waved her hand and turned to Liu Yu and asked, "Yu'er, I heard that the girl came along with you. You should know her temperament and appearance. Is it appropriate to marry her for your father? To be honest, don't worry."
Liu Yu scratched his head and hesitated: "This, this, the child just feels a little awkward."
Liu Xin laughed loudly and said, "I just tried you. It is enough to have your mother and the others, and I will go there again. Aldaban, thank you for your kindness, your good girl keeps it. Marry someone else."
Ardaban was greatly disappointed. Suddenly he saw Liu Yu on the side and had an idea again. He bowed and said, "His Majesty, I don’t know the Prince...
While talking, another guard came to report that it was an emergency military situation from Chang'an. Liu Xin waved his hand and said, "Aldaban, I still have important things to do. I don't want to keep you, so you can withdraw."
Aldaban had no choice but to quit.
It turned out that this was a good news from Ma Yun's orders. Wei Yan defeated the coalition forces of Goguryeo, Fuyu, Mahan, and Chenhan in Liaodong, beheading more than 100,000 ranks. The king of Goguryeo was frightened, bound Yuyi to surrender, and was willing to bow his head to the big man. Ma Yun immediately ordered Yu Yi to be executed in Lingchi, Chang'an Market, and his nine tribes were punishable. Such cruel punishment has been abolished in Dahan's laws, but Ma Yun will never be merciless to traitors and traitors. When the news came out, Fuyu and other countries came to vote and were willing to follow the example of Goguryeo in claiming tribute, and Ma Yun agreed.
For a long time, Liu Xin has always hoped to eliminate foreign enemies and give Dahan a peaceful development environment. Now that all the razors are flat, the Han Dynasty will not have any rivals in ten years, and after ten years of development, which country can catch up with the Han Dynasty? Liu Xin couldn't help looking up to the sky with a long smile: "My wish is here!"
