The most arrogant in history

Chapter 950 The Roman Senate.

Everyone was surprised when Ye Kun said this.

Especially Ye Shusheng, who was obviously stunned for a moment, then stood up and said with a smile: "Father's arrangement is very good, and my son and Brother Huangfu hit it off right away."

As a prince, a king overseas, and a replacement for the Roman emperor.

Ye Shusheng looked down on Huangfu Shou.

But he couldn't disobey his father's wishes.

Huangfu Lin and Yingtao were excited and moved. The couple thanked him: "Your Majesty, how could I be so worthy of such an honor and marry the King of Qin?"

In ancient China, Rome was always called the Great Qin Kingdom.

Ye Kun continued to use this name, so Ye Shusheng is now the King of Qin.

Huangfu Shou was also surprised and stood up to thank the emperor: "Your Majesty, I dare not..."

"It's OK if I say so." Ye Kun said with a smile:

"Your father and I have been brothers and comrades-in-arms for decades. The descendants of the Huangfu family are also my descendants. My descendants can also be said to be the descendants of Huangfu Lin.

Now, you are all far away from the Chinese homeland and have spread abroad. At this time, you must continue the family affection and comradeship of your fathers and cooperate with each other to ensure that the Chinese children will permanently occupy the Mediterranean area! "

Xie Baochan understood Ye Kun's intention and said with a smile: "You two youngsters, are you still not obedient?"

Ye Shusheng and Huangfu Shou left the table together, knelt down in front of the court, and became sworn brothers. They vowed to share the joys and sorrows, life and death, and that their descendants would also be brothers and would never fight against each other.

Ye Shusheng is the elder brother and Huangfu Shou is the younger brother.

Everyone raised their glasses to congratulate.

After the banquet, Ye Kun and Xie Baochan invited Ye Shusheng to talk alone.

Ye Kun asked, "Today I asked you to become sworn brothers with Huangfu Shou. Are you surprised?"

Ye Shusheng smiled awkwardly: "Father, I really didn't think of it at the time. Now that I think about it, I seem to understand something..."

"So what did you understand? Tell me about it."

"Father is worried that my foundation is not stable, and the Huangfu family is unwilling to help me, so he wants me to become sworn brothers with Huangfu Shou, so as to bind the Huangfu family together, right?"

"There is some truth to that, but it's not all, and it's not the main reason."

Ye Kun took a sip of tea and said thoughtfully: "Your current military strength far exceeds that of the Huangfu family. Your military strength is more than three times theirs, and the area of ​​your fiefdom is more than ten times theirs. Your resources and strategic depth are unmatched by the Huangfu family. Although Huangfu Lin is a famous general, he cannot defeat you if a real fight breaks out."

Ye Shusheng nodded slightly.

Ye Kun continued, "You are the leader of the frontier, you have great talent and strategy, and you are a rare talent. However, all talents have one characteristic, that is, they will not allow others to sleep soundly beside their bed.

I am worried that after my death, you will use military force against the Huangfu family and annex the Spanish Peninsula."

Ye Shusheng smiled: "Father, I won't."

"People will change. You may think they won't change now, but that may not be the case in the future." Ye Kun said with a smile:

"If you use military force against the Huangfu family, the Chinese people will kill each other, which will inevitably cause serious damage and greatly weaken the power of the Chinese people around the Mediterranean. The Roman elders may take advantage of this to drive out the Chinese people and restore the Holy Roman Empire.

This is the overall situation. If we fail to see this, all our efforts over the years will go to waste!"

Ye Shusheng was deeply touched when he heard this: "Don't worry, father. I will live in harmony with the surrounding kings and will never kill each other."

Ye Kun nodded and said, "I still say the same thing. Even if they are crowned as kings overseas and declare the establishment of a country, I can accept it. The premise is that they must admit that they are the descendants of Yan and Huang, the children of China, and continue to use Chinese characters, speak Chinese, and follow Chinese etiquette.

It is difficult for us to maintain a global unified Chinese empire, but we can let the Chinese people control all the wealthy places in the world."

Ye Shusheng smiled and said, "I understand, kid."

Ye Kun was relieved and said with a smile: "Your sworn brotherhood with Huangfu Shou today only guarantees that you can live in peace and develop together in the next few decades. After a few decades, there should not be many Romans left, and the Chinese people will become the majority in the Mediterranean area."

In the present Mediterranean region, the original Roman territory is still mostly populated by Romans.

The Roman Empire collapsed, but there are still tens of millions of survivors.

We can't kill all of these people, can we?

It will take some time for the Chinese to become a major force in the Mediterranean.

Ye Shusheng said: "Father, can the Roman Senate be abolished?"

The Senate of the Roman Empire is a very unique thing that has existed for thousands of years.

Actually, it's quite advanced.

Because the Roman emperor had to be elected and recognized by the Senate.

It can also be said that the Roman Senate was the highest authority in the Roman Empire and the supervisor of imperial power.

This is different from the emperor's autocracy in ancient China.

Ye Kun smiled and said, "Shusheng, do you think that the nine-ministry cabinet we formed is somewhat similar to the Roman Senate?"

“A bit like that, but not quite.”

Ye Shusheng thought for a moment and said with a smile: "Our nine ministries have clear division of labor and are responsible for both major and minor matters. The Roman Senate basically has nothing to do, except for collective votes on national affairs.

In contrast, our nine ministries are powerful and have clear functions. The Roman Senate is like a makeshift team. "

"Well, let's start from the basics."

Ye Kun smiled and said, "In fact, the so-called Roman Empire was just a loose alliance of castles. The actual control area of ​​the Roman emperor was not large. It seems that during the Spring and Autumn Period, the emperor of the Zhou Dynasty was still the common ruler of the world, but the major vassal states no longer listened to the Zhou emperor."

There is a term in history, the Holy Roman Empire.

In Ye Kun's view, it is neither sacred nor imperial!

It's just a castle alliance.

The Roman emperor and the Roman Senate were only responsible for maintaining order in the alliance.

Ye Shusheng nodded: "Father, you hit the nail on the head. Rome and Qin are indeed like the Spring and Autumn Period of our China."

Ye Kun continued, "The Roman emperor is gone, and you are now the de facto Roman emperor. If you abolish the Senate at this time, it may be too radical, and those Roman castle owners and slave owners will feel at a loss.

I suggest you keep the Roman Senate to calm people's hearts. You can treat the entire Senate as a puppet, control it, and use them to manage Rome. In another twenty years, when there are more Han people and fewer Romans here, you can abolish the Senate.

In the area under your absolute control, do not let the Senate interfere; outside the area under your absolute control, give the Senate some power. "

There are thousands of castles in the Roman Empire, and Ye Shusheng now directly controls less than one-third of them.

Small castles in remote areas still rely on castle owners and slave owners for management.

These small castles also recognized Ye Shusheng's rule, paid taxes and slaves, and provided support for Ye Shusheng's finances.

So the Senate cannot be abolished.

Once it is cancelled, the situation will be difficult to control and Ye Shusheng will suffer the loss.

However, in the area under Ye Shusheng's absolute control, there is no need for the Senate to intervene. We must strengthen assimilation and allow Chinese civilization to completely replace Roman civilization!
