"It's settled." Xing'an hurriedly bowed his head and said, "Elena's etiquette has been almost done, and she will enter the palace in October in tentatively."

The eldest princess Elena of the Great Qin Kingdom was studying etiquette and law in the Ministry of Rites. This involved some disputes about etiquette, and it was eventually carried out according to the Ming system.

Pastors, altars, ministers, flower boys, summons, prayers, vows, etc. were all denied by Hu Yi and Yang Shan.

If you let the emperor of the Ming Dynasty accept the blessings of gods and ghosts, the wedding rituals, let alone whether Your Majesty agrees or not, the Ministry of Rites will disagree first.

If the Ministry of Rites does such a thing, Hu Yi, Yang Shan and others will all retire, or just find a rope to hang it?

Since he married into the Ming Dynasty and came from afar, he naturally followed the ritual system of the Ming Dynasty.

This round of communication was not difficult. The main reason that prevented Elena from entering Tai'an Palace was that Elena herself wanted to learn Eastern culture.

You can't... let Your Majesty learn foreign languages!

"Okay." Zhu Qiyu nodded, signaling that he knew, and then opened the case file. He would return to Tai'an Palace to celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival with his wife and son at dusk.

Hu Yi is very leisurely now, and the affairs of the Ministry of Revenue were handed over to Xiao Xun, Shi Mao, and others to preside over the presidency. His most time now is to spend in the ancient and modern Tongjiku in the imperial city and his small study room.

The second major task was to teach the imperial heirs of the Tai'an Palace, and the third thing was to discuss Roman law with Nikolaoz, the envoy of the Great Qin Kingdom.

He wore a swing patch, took two attendants and four guards, and walked around the capital to the Huitong Hall. He wanted to see Nikolaoz.

For Hu Yi, the exchanges with the envoys of the Great Qin Kingdom were part of the Ming Dynasty's great thinking.

Openness and inclusion are not the core of Confucian culture, but the core of the Central Plains dynasty, which is one of the etiquette and law of "Your is mine, mine is mine."

Ma Huan and more than a dozen were waiting outside the Huitong Hall at the same time. When he saw Hu Yi, he hurriedly brought people forward and bowed to him and said, "I have met Shangshu Hu."

He was surprised that Hu Yi did not ride a sedan chair, but walked on the street.

Hu Yi had a way of health preservation. After a meal, he walked a hundred steps and lived to ninety-nine. He often walked on the streets of the Ming Dynasty after meals.

He helped Ma Huan up and smiled and asked the others to stand up.

He walked over and instructed Ma Huan again: "The translation of documents in the Great Qin State should focus on practical content. As for religious books, please do not translate them for the time being. Your Majesty does not like to read them."

The Nestorian classics of the Great Qin Kingdom actually had a large number of translations during the Tang and Song dynasties, so there was no need to translate them again.

However, some books that are required by degree bypassing and some philosophical books are very necessary.

By learning from history, you can know the rise and fall.

Hu Yi walked into the Huitong Pavilion and met Nikolaoz who was writing hard at his desk.

A person who is as old as a man, is more than twenty years apart. Every time Nikolaoz sees Hu Yi, he has to admire him. Hu Yi is really good at maintaining health.

There were also many people in the Ming Dynasty who gritted their teeth with hatred. Hu Yi was so old and his energy was still so vigorous.

Nikolaoz talked about the big thing first, and he leaned forward and said, "Zoe entered the palace in October, and this matter has been decided, and there are no omissions in etiquette."

Hu Yi thought for a while and said, "Well, when His Majesty and the Princess's son were born, he had all the claims of King of Kings and Rome."

Hu Yi couldn't decide whether Rome could return in West Asia and Thailand, and it depends on the development process of the Ming Dynasty.

It is hard to say that Hu Yi could see such a day in his lifetime.

This is to make Nikolaoz translate Thai texts well. At present, there are not enough Latin knowledge cultivated by the Ming Dynasty.

Nikolaoz's face was a little bitter. Shangshu Hu was a slippery man. He seemed to have said something, but he didn't say anything. He seemed to have made promises, but in fact he didn't promise anything.

As far as Nikolaoz knows, the envoys of the Ming Dynasty and the Qin Dynasty communicated closely with Kang Chengzhi, the envoy of the Ottoman Empire.

Whether it is Roman wisdom or technology, Roma can provide it.

This round foreign policy made Nikolaoz always unable to exert force when facing Hu Yi and retreated step by step.

"Let's talk about a sad topic today, the demise of Rome." Hu Yi sat upright, drank a cup of tea, and said calmly.

What they are going to discuss is the demise of Western Rome.

The Sultanate of Rome and the Ottomans all had the intention to replace Rome, but it was the Eastern Rome of the Monotheistic Church, and what they were going to talk about was the demise of Western Rome.

Nikolaoz said with emotion: "The respected Emperor of Ming Dynasty and Yu Shaobao are great heroes of the Ming Dynasty, and this is something that there is no doubt."

"Then His Majesty Mayorian is the emperor of the last Romans in the Western Roman Empire."

"His Majesty Mayorian is a great hero who will appear by chance during the period of the decline of the empire, hoping to revitalize all the glory of Rome."

"Although His Majesty Mayorian served as the consul of Western Rome for only four years, all the words of praise are enough to describe the greatness of this period."

"He has a mind like the sea and ambition as lofty as the sky. His eyes can break through the constraints of space and time."

"He tried to save the empire's long decline, and he also tried to save a disarray of empire."

"He launched a military and diplomatic strategy against the barbarian separatist regimes entrenched in southern Gaul, Spain and North Africa, and regained almost all of the Roman Empire's land in Tessia."

"He has a series of reforms in economic, political, and legal terms, and those policy reforms, which are long-term."

Nikolauz had a full fanatical worship of Mayorian, and he gave all his praise to Mayorian, the last Roman emperor.

Nikolaoz said excitedly: "He initially realized the bureaucratic rule of the Western Roman Empire, but he also offended countless huge family parents under the family system."

"He advocated integrity and efficiency, and made the entire Roman Empire's government orders roar in the ditches like rushing rivers! But he also offended all the bureaucrats of the Western Roman Empire."

"He carried out tax reforms on the Western Roman Empire, hoping to calm down the barbarians who like to make trouble and pay taxes. He almost succeeded. Those barbarians really paid taxes, but they also offended the rampant barbarians."

"In the end, after His Majesty Mayorian returned to Rome, the ambitious Senate, Libius Severu, launched a mutiny and brutally killed His Majesty Mayorian."

"The decline of the Roman Empire is like a rolling stone falling on a cliff, and there is no possibility of resuming the decline."

Hu Yi quietly listened to Nikolaoz's praise of Mayorian worship and said, "In order to defeat the Kingdom of Vandal, Mayorian established a navy in the port of Spain, but was attacked by the Kingdom of Vandal.

The navy was wiped out in the port."

"Mayorian's attack on the Kingdom of Vandal was a military adventure. He had just finished fighting the barbarians of Gaul and conquered Spain. He should correct it instead of continuing to expand territory."

"The failure of military adventures was a heavy price. His death was indeed a mutiny that killed him, but politically, he killed himself."

Hu Yi has translated some Roman historical materials. Mayorian was indeed ambitious, but his attack on the Kingdom of Vandal and his defeat caused Mayorian's prestige to plummet.

The barbarians were opposing him, the bureaucrats were opposing him, the nobles were opposing him, the Senate was opposing him, and the most important thing was that even the Romans were opposing him.

It is unwise for him to still launch a military adventure when almost everyone opposes him.

Nikolauz had an almost fanatical admiration for Mayorian, which affected his objective view of this history.

Of course, Hu Yi was just a bystander.

If you think from the perspective of others, this happened in the Ming Dynasty, and he did not think that his mentality would be stable. He would also regret it if the Lord of Zhongxing was suddenly killed.

Hu Yi didn't know that in the original historical line, the lord of Zhongxing in his eyes was a change of snatch by speculators. After the mutiny, the Ming Dynasty Emperor, Yu Shaobao and others in history may be killed.

He was beheaded and abandoned in the market.

At that time, Hu Yi was only more sad than Nikolaoz at this time.

Hu Yi continued to speak: "The Mayorian Law you translated stipulates that the senate in the Senate must not migrate for no reason, which means that the senate people are leaving secretly."

"The conquered barbarians are already resistant to taxes, and in the army, barbarians account for more than 80% of the number, and mutiny is completely expected."

"There are also parents of families who were tortured by bureaucracy. They led the barbarians to mutiny. They instructed their slaves to open the city gates to facilitate the mutiny of barbarians."

"At that time, Mayorian should be alert."

Nikolaoz twitched the corners of his mouth, and then said helplessly: "You are right."

Hu Yi asked with a strange expression: "I'm very curious about one question: What makes your Roman emperors indifferent to 80% of the Germans and Goths in the army?"

“This is simply crazy.”

Hu Yi could not imagine what the Tartar officials in the Beijing army would look like, and the number of Tartar troops accounted for more than 70%. Not to mention 70%, even Hu Yi would think it would be too much.

The debate between Chinese and foreigners in the Ming Dynasty was still better than that of the Tang and Song dynasties, because the Ming Dynasty had long been to expel the Tartars.

Under such great defense of China and the barbarians, the Ming Dynasty was extremely afraid of the Tartar officials and the Taurus army.

There are almost no Tatars or Urianha people in the capital army now, except for a few horse herds.

Nikolaoz said helplessly: "If there is a way, we would not choose to let the barbarians fill the entire military camp."

"Isn't this impossible?"

"If there is a way, the Roman emperor would not want to have any barbarians in the barracks."

Hu Yi's expression became even more strange and asked suspiciously: "Why? Is it because there is no one in Rome?"

"This is impossible. As far as I know Rome, the Romans were citizens and civilians in the Roman Empire, while the barbarians were just slaves."

Nikolaoz nodded heavily and said, "Yes, the Romans had a young man and had a late marriage, which eventually forced the Roman emperor to fill the barbarians with the barbarians."

"No one? I refuse to give birth?" Hu Yi asked with a heavy expression after drinking a glass of water.

Nikolaoz thought for a long time and said, "Yes, there are many reasons. The Roman emperor tried almost everything to encourage the Romans to have children. Those almost absurd policies could not restore the Romans' reproduction.

interest."

"Even though, the Roman Empire was replaced."

Rather than saying that the Western Roman Empire was destroyed by the barbarians, it was better to say that it was replaced by the huge barbarian population.

No one is also a serious problem facing Eastern Rome.

"What's the reason? They enjoy the treatment of citizens and civilians, so why are they unwilling to have children?" Hu Yi asked.
