Capital Datang

After the division of East and West Rome, Western Rome had officially perished more than 100 years ago. The Apennine Peninsula where the city of Rome was located had also been occupied by the Lombabians. He was soon driven out again, causing the territory of the Western Roman Empire to be completely lost.

Even more unfortunately, with the attack of the big cannibal, the Eastern Roman Empire has lost its provinces in Africa and the South. The current Eastern Roman Empire mainly occupies the Balkan Peninsula and the area east to the Black Sea, plus Asia Minor It can be said that the area of ​​the peninsula is not large. Compared with when the Roman Empire was at its strongest, their land area has shrunk by two-thirds.

However, the reduction of the land area also brought a benefit to the Eastern Roman Empire, that is, it made the domestic situation less complicated. The whole country unified the use of Greek, and the religion was also dominated by the Orthodox Church. It fell into the hands of the big cannibal, which made the domestic religious dispute finally subside.

It is also under such circumstances, coupled with the powerful enemy of the cannibal outside, that the top and bottom of the Eastern Roman Empire can finally be united. In the previous war with the cannibal in the Asia Minor Peninsula, they were also able to fight with sound and sound. color", firmly defending their last piece of territory in Asia.

The current emperor of the Eastern Roman Empire is Constans II. When he succeeded to the throne, he was only 11 years old, and in the second year of his succession, Egypt was captured by the Great Food, and then the southern provinces successively was captured.There are many reasons for this situation. Most people think that Dashi is powerful, but it is actually too young for Constans II.As a result, domestic power has been left behind, and most of the forces cannot be concentrated to fight back.Capital Datang 646

The current Constans II is just 19 years old.He is younger than Li Ke and Li Yin, and grows up with him.The power within the empire was slowly taken back by him, which finally concentrated the strength of the Roman Empire, and finally had the power to fight back against the resistance of the Great Food.Moreover, Constans II, who grew up under such circumstances, was also very far-sighted. He was the one who saw the influence of Datang on West Asia, so he sent Siro as an envoy to make friends with Datang. It further led to the signing of the Quadruple Covenant.

With the Four Nations Covenant, Dashi really did not dare to attack Eastern Rome again.This also relieved Constans II. While stepping up trade with Datang and trying to maintain the friendly relationship between the two countries, he stepped up time to rectify the internal affairs and train the army, especially the navy, which is related to the whole of Rome. Life and death, so it is particularly valued within the empire.

The morning in the palace was particularly bright today, and Constans II was also in a very good mood. This is his bedroom.Sunlight poured in from the tall glass windows, making the entire bedroom bright.

Constans II got up from the wide bed with his upper body bare, and an eunuch immediately stepped forward to dress him.Don't be surprised, eunuchs are not a specialty of the Central Plains Dynasty.In the imperial palace of the Roman Empire, there were also eunuchs, and they were all over the palace.The power is not less than the eunuchs in the Central Plains, and some eunuchs can even become generals of the empire.

The 19-year-old Constance II looks mighty.A golden hair is disheveled, looking like a young lion.The naked upper body is muscular and has obviously been well-exercised. Under the morning sun, it looks like a perfect marble statue.

"Your Majesty's body is comparable to the gods on Mount Olympus. Every time I see it, my heart beats!" At this moment, on the big bed with his back facing him, another naked The young man with the upper body sat up, looked at Constans II Dao who was changing clothes fascinatedly, his eyes were full of admiration.

Again, don't be surprised, it's nothing strange for two men to share the same bed, because this is Rome.It is no exaggeration to say that out of ten Roman men, at least half have a gay friend, and the remaining half have a group of gay friends.

In fact, the "chaos" of the private life of Roman nobles can be said to be world-famous in history, and it is not only between the sexes, but also between the same sex. Among the famous Roman emperors in history, most of them They all have one or even several good friends, such as Octavian, Caesar and so on.

The same is true for women, almost all Roman ladies, in addition to their husbands, also have a considerable number of lovers, and even when they are in the mood, they will have a good time with the slaves around them, even the queen is the same. Two very famous Roman queens, one often dressed up as a "prostitute" at night, soliciting customers on the street to satisfy her desires.The other one had a pk with a famous "prostitute" at that time, and finally won the other party with 25 rounds, while her husband was leading troops to fight outside.

Roman women's debauchery behavior, if they were placed in Datang, would have been soaked in pig cages [-] times, but in the eyes of Romans, especially those Roman men, it doesn't matter at all.They are even more than happy to share their own wives so that they can share other people's wives as well.

Moreover, when the games between the opposite sexes could not satisfy their desires, these Romans extended their claws to the same sexes around them, so sexism appeared, and it became very popular. It can even be said that, A Roman man who does not engage in Christianity is not a qualified Roman man, and being a Roman emperor is a representative of it, and Constance II is no exception.

"Forres, get up quickly. After breakfast, I will go to inspect your naval unit. If you don't satisfy me, you will be punished!" King Constance II said affectionately. He said with a smile, although the last sentence said that he would be punished, judging by the expression on his face, everyone can make up the content of the punishment by themselves.

This young man named Forres was a courtier of Constans II, and he was born in a noble family. He was not only handsome, but also quite talented, so he and Constans II easily developed a special relationship. And by virtue of this relationship, the young Forres has become the consul of the Naval Legion, with a status comparable to that of Li Yin's Lu Qing, commanding the naval forces of the Eastern Roman Empire.

"No problem, I have always been very strict about the training of the Navy Corps, and it will definitely satisfy His Majesty!" Forres also stood up at this time, smiling while putting on his clothes.

While the two were talking, the door of the bedroom opened, and a young woman in a purple silk dress walked in. The young woman had brown hair and blue eyes, and her facial features were very delicate. The figure is uneven, and under the shoulder-length dress, there is a charming cleavage, which makes people fall in love with it at first sight.

Purple is the exclusive color of the royal family of the Roman Empire, and she can freely enter and leave the emperor's bedroom, so the identity of this young woman is ready to be revealed. She is the queen of Constans II, named Irina .

Irina was born in an aristocratic family in the southern province. She was educated by Christianity since she was a child. She is a devout Christian. It was also under the influence of religion that Irina kept a clean life. After marrying Constance II, There are no lovers like other ladies, and even apart from her husband Constance II, no second man has ever touched her body. Among the noble men in Eastern Rome, many people tried their best He wanted to hook up the queen, but unfortunately no one succeeded.

Irina walked in and took a look at Forres next to him, with an undisguised disgust flashing in her eyes.And Forres took a step back with a smile on his face, and at the same time, his eyes looked at Irina with a kind of naked desire.

"Your Majesty, the vehicles are ready. When are we going to inspect the navy?" Irina asked.Capital Datang 646

As a queen, she is legally equivalent to the emperor, and if her natal family is strong, she can still have a considerable say in the empire, but it is a pity that her family's territory was closed two years ago. Has been occupied by big cannibals, and the family can only flee to Constantinople to live on her, without any strength at all, so she naturally does not have the slightest power in political affairs, at most she can only be the Queen of Constantinople. It's just a foil for the second generation.

"Understood, after I have breakfast with the Consul, I will go to inspect the navy immediately." Constans II glanced at his wife with a very cold expression on his face, because he felt that his wife was too much. He is old-fashioned and can't give him too much joy, so he doesn't like Irina very much.

"Okay, I'll wait for you in the car!" Irina also said very coldly.

When she first married Constantinople II, Irina was still an innocent girl, full of fantasies about her husband, but the facts dealt her a cruel blow. The "kinky" life made her extremely disgusted, and the chastity education she had received since she was a child made her unable to integrate into this kind of life at all. Even in the contacts with some "women", there were disputes over ideas, which made Irina In the entire aristocratic circle of Constantinople, it seemed so out of place.

After Irina finished speaking, she turned around and was about to leave, but at this moment, a waiter suddenly reported from outside the door: The navy stationed in the Dardanelles has something important to report.

The Dardanelles is the gateway to Constantinople, so Constantine II naturally attached great importance to it, and as the governor of the navy, Forres, the navy of the Dardanelles also falls under his jurisdiction. At the moment, he and Constance II didn't bother to have breakfast, and rushed to the front hall immediately.

Although Irina does not have much power, she is a very smart woman, and she is very familiar with the internal situation of the empire, and knows the importance of the Dardanelles, so after hearing the news, she stood there and hesitated After a while, he followed to the front hall.

What the three of Constans II didn't expect was that what the troops stationed in the Dardanelles brought was the news of a friendly visit from Prince Li Ke of the Tang Dynasty. (to be continued...)
