Emperor Liu Hong

"Your Majesty, running through the Suez Canal can greatly shorten the distance between the Han Dynasty and Rome, and is conducive to the communication between the Han Dynasty and Rome. Both countries will benefit from everything!" See Marcus Aurelius Thinking, Fugui hurried forward to lobby.

"Yes, father, once the Suez Canal is completed, our communication with the big man will be greatly strengthened, which will be very beneficial to our empire!" Commodus also stepped forward to persuade.

Marcus Aurelius is quite clear about the benefits of Suez penetration.But the problem is that Marcus Aurelius is also quite aware of how laborious it would be to maintain a canal in the desert.So, he's kind of drumming up on this thing.

"Viscount Fugui, I am also very willing to go through the canal. However, the Suez Canal is located in the desert, and it is very laborious to dredge and maintain it. Moreover, this canal is not directly under the jurisdiction of our Rome, it is our It belongs to Greece. If we force Greece to do this, it will make him feel dissatisfied."

"Your Majesty, although the Suez Canal is now blocked by wind and sand, it will not be too serious. After all, this canal was still in use not long ago, and it has not been abandoned for a few years now. It does not take much effort to dredge it. .As for future maintenance, although it takes a little effort, it is insignificant at all in terms of the benefits it brings."

"Yes, father." In order to get the exclusive agent of the fairy powder, Commodus really worked hard, "Whether it is dredging or maintenance, it is a matter of consuming some slaves. Like our empire, do you still care about these slaves? Compared with the canal The benefits brought, such slaves, are really insignificant. As for Egypt, the canal is within its territory, and once it is completed, the merchant ships of the Han Dynasty will lose their benefits when they arrive in their territory. Therefore, this is a matter that is beneficial to both of us Favorable things."

Hearing what the two said, Marcus Aurelius felt that it made sense. He conveniently lit a cigar with flavors presented by Commodore, sat on the throne, and carefully considered the pros and cons of the matter. .

Seeing Marcus Aurelius smoking a flavored cigar, Fugui almost jumped up in excitement.You know, just now he was thinking about how to sell this fairy powder to Marcus Aurelius.Unexpectedly, Commodus had already completed this task for him.

Enjoy the intense pleasure brought by white powder.Marcus Aurelius finally made up his mind, "Okay, I promised to pass through the Suez Canal again. But Viscount Fugui, I hope you can communicate with your majesty. See if it is possible to cure the plague. method sold to our Empire."

"Good Your Majesty. This matter. I will definitely report it to our Majesty."

Fugui was in Rome to discuss with Marcus Aurelius the specific matters concerning the completion of the Suez Canal.But at this time, the big man was decorated with lanterns and festoons everywhere to celebrate the birth of the princes and princesses.

Once she was pregnant in October and gave birth, Ding Luoli, Zhang Mei and Zou Ju were all born now.Among them, Ding Luoli and Zhang Mei all gave birth to a fat boy for Liu Hong.As for Zou Ju, she simply gave birth to a pair of twins, sons and daughters.

All of a sudden, so many children were born.It belongs to both the prince and the princess, but the Empress Dowager Dong was very happy.Staying next to those children all day long, hugging this and that, never idle for a moment.

Now Liu Hong is not only happy, but also worried.After all, it is not an easy task to name so many children.Even if he had made up his mind a long time ago, he wanted to name his child after the emperor of later generations.But the problem is that he didn't study history, so how could he know all the emperors in later generations.Moreover, in the Han Dynasty, a single name was the most precious, but the emperors of later generations were not so particular about it. Most of them had double names, which made it more difficult to name.

"Sima Yan of the Jin Dynasty seems to have been in power for more than 50 years, why don't you use his name?" Thinking of this, Liu Hong shook his head, "No, although this guy has been in power for a long time, he doesn't seem to live long. He died when he was over [-]."

Negating the grandson of Sima Yi, Sima Zhao and his son, Liu Hong thought of another name with the same pronunciation as Yan, Xiao Yan, Emperor Wu of Liang in the Southern Dynasty.

"Just use this guy's name. He has lived to be 81 years old and has been in power for nearly 48 years. This name is definitely auspicious!" Thinking of this, Liu Hong named his son with Ding Luoli Liu Yan, "What are the names of the other sons? It seems that there is really no emperor who can live to such a great age and reign for such a long time?!"

Liu Hong thought about it for a long time, and among the emperors he knew, there was really no one who could compare with this Xiao Yan.Not only is there no one who can compare with him, there is even no one who is slightly worse than him.

"Well, happiness and longevity are hard to achieve. It's hard to avoid. I'm among those emperors, and I'll try my best to choose the best!" Thinking of this, Liu Hong began to think about those later emperors, "I'm not very familiar with the Tang Dynasty, I can remember The emperors with single names are Li Yuan, Li Zhi and Li Dan."

However, Liu Hong really doesn't like these three.Li Yuan let his son usurp the throne, Li Zhi let his wife usurp the throne, and Li Dan let his tough mother ascend the throne twice.

"Forget it, the ones from the Tang Dynasty are too weird, I'd better go to the Song Dynasty to choose." In fact, Liu Hong's understanding of the Song Dynasty is not as good as that of the Tang Dynasty. After thinking about it for a long time, he thinks that Song Renzong is still suitable. , "Forget it, let's use him. Although this guy didn't live very long, he was definitely a rare Mingjun in the Song Dynasty. In addition, he has been in power for 41 years, and he can be regarded as a Rare luck!"

After naming his and Zhang Mei's son Liu Zhen, he began to think about the name of his fourth son.

"Okay, the Song Dynasty is over, it's time for the Ming Dynasty!" Liu Hong, who is extremely nationalistic, gave up the Yuan Dynasty directly, and began to count the emperors of the Ming Dynasty on his fingers, "Made, I have counted the Ming Dynasty. Even if Nanming’s emperor is added, it’s only an emperor with a single name like Zhu Di!”

"Forget it, this Ming Chengzu is not bad. He lived to be 64 years old and became the emperor for 22 years, and he was also the emperor who rebelled. This is very lucky!" Thinking of this, Liu Hong thought for his fourth son, Named Liu Di.

Now that the son's name is finished, it's the daughter's turn.Now Liu Hong is happy, because he doesn't have to worry about it at all. He can just put the name Wu Zetian gave her on his daughter's head, "Zhao, literally, it means the sun and the moon are in the sky, what a bold person." The name is Liu Zhao!"

After finally choosing a name for his son and daughter, Liu Hong just wanted to catch his breath when Qiao Xuan came to report that the Prince of Persia came to Dahan again and wanted to see him. (To be continued..)
