Zhao Ziliang is not a person who likes gambling, nor is he addicted to gambling.
This bet is purely for fun.
The main reason why he can win is that he can look at Qi.
At his level, he can naturally see a person's energy and spirit.
He didn't expect that he could win the bet through this method.
This was beyond his expectation.
Naturally, he was happy after winning money.
Zhao Ziliang took Irina to a tavern for a good meal.
Unexpectedly, the bearded Bulgarian businessman Tramcz was not an ordinary thick-skinned person, so he insisted on sticking up and eating.
Drink, Zhao Ziconian said that we are not familiar with each other, okay?
Tramtz's shamelessness naturally made the guards who were not far behind Zhao Ziliang very nervous.
However, Zhao Ziliang did not give them a signal, and they did not dare to take any action casually, so they could only continue to follow.
After they had had enough wine and food, Zhao Ziliang called the waiter to pay the bill, but Tramtz paid the bill first, so he didn't eat and drink for free.
Now Zhao Ziliang and Irina knew that Tramtz was relying on them.
Reason.
After sending away the waiter in the tavern, Zhao Ziliang said: "Mr.
Tramtz, I understand what you mean.
Where is your batch of goods?
I will go over tomorrow to see."
Tramtz said hurriedly: "It's in the third pier on the edge of the Golden Horn in Galata.
Next to it is the sea-blocking iron cable.
When will Brother Wang go there tomorrow?
I'll wait for you there."
Zhao Ziliang said: "Let's go in the morning, or you can go to Qin's Trading Company to find me."
Tramtz immediately agreed: "Okay, I will go to Qin's Trading Company to find you tomorrow morning."
After sending Tramtz away, Zhao Ziliang said to Irina: "Next, are you going to return to Alexius's home or find a place to live somewhere else?"
Irina said: "Of course I am with you, haven't we already agreed?"
Zhao Ziliang touched his forehead and said with some helplessness: "Our goal together is too big, you know?
I am planning to return to Qin's Trading Company.
I dare to assert that the envoy's official residence, Qin's Trading Company offices and other Western Qin Chamber of Commerce are here."
The offices must have the eyes and ears of your Eastern Roman Empire.
Come on, don't deny it.
You are the empress dowager who is in charge of power.
Now that you are no longer in power, these eyes and ears may have become Constantine's eyes and ears.
I don't want to be recognized because of your involvement, so the two of us must Separately, even if we have to meet, we can agree on another time and place.”
Irina was silent for a while before agreeing, "Okay, for safety reasons, I won't live in Alexius's home.
You can send me to Hagia Sophia."
Zhao Ziliang was a little surprised: "Hagia Sophia is a public gathering place with a lot of people.
You don't have to worry about being recognized."
Irina said: "Don't you have a saying in the East that the more dangerous the place, the safer it is.
I think this is very reasonable.
That place is the property of the church, and Archbishop Tarasius is loyal to me.
His loyalty is unquestionable, and with him as my cover, I should be safe living there.”
Zhao Ziliang just wanted to send this woman away quickly.
He would be happy if other women followed him, but with Irina following him around all day long, there were many things that were inconvenient for him to do.

After all, he and she were not the same thing.
There is no real relationship between a man and a woman, and there is no real relationship between a man and a woman.
The reason why the two have super-friendship exchanges is just because of their status and their own needs in this regard.
There seems to be no other factors other than that.
Inside.
"Okay, I'll take you to Hagia Sophia," Zhao Ziliang said, getting up, and the two of them left the tavern and walked towards the direction of Hagia Sophia.
Zhao Ziliang said as he walked: "Out of our friendship, I kindly remind you not to trust the church too much.
You can use it as a tool to rule the entire country, but don't trust it too much.
Trusting it too much will As a result, it gets more and more benefits and more and more rights.
You see, it has been your state religion hundreds of years ago.
The emperor became a believer and allowed it to have more influence.
Its power is getting stronger and stronger.
Not only has it penetrated into the common people, but also nobles, high-ranking officials, and even members of the royal family have become its believers.
This may not seem like anything to you, but in my opinion, this is terrible.
It is unknown to you.
It has unknowingly affected every aspect and everyone in the entire country.
In my opinion, as long as you use it a little bit, your power structure will be controlled and manipulated by it."
Irina turned to look at Zhao Ziliang and said, "What you said is too exaggerated.
How can it be so serious?"
Zhao Ziliang shook his head and said, "Constantine knows that Ratasius is yours, right?"
Irina nodded and said: "He must know that I appointed Tarasius as archbishop.
This is not a secret."
Zhao Ziliang said: "Look, he knows that Tarasius is yours and your right arm.
You have been away from the palace for so long and he hasn't done anything to Tarasius.
Why is it because of the power of the church?"
It was so big that he, the powerful emperor, did not dare to act rashly.
He also knew that once he touched the archbishop of Tarasius, it would be tantamount to challenging the entire church.
The church's top leaders could tolerate the removal of the archbishop at one time, but they absolutely could not tolerate it.
The royal family has been replacing archbishops one after another.
As long as they do something to stir up trouble among the believers, the country may be in chaos.
When this country is in this situation, you know how many people are dissatisfied with the royal family and this dynasty.
Pray every day, go to church every week to pray, ask for the Lord’s blessings, and repent to the Lord.
These have become what most people in this country do every day.
Things have become a very important part of their lives and have become a habit.
If they can’t pray, pray, feel ashamed, or seek blessings from the Lord, how can they live their lives?
You have been doing this for generations of emperors.
Eliminate the influence of the church on this country, try every means to take back the property and resources that originally belonged to the people from them, and reduce their harm to this country.
But you are doing the exact opposite.
And to support the church, the hard work of generations of emperors has been wiped out.
I really don’t know what you are thinking.
Of course, if you are a loyal believer in the Lord, you are willing to dedicate your life and everything to you.
Lord, just treat me as if I haven’t said anything because as a devout believer, it is natural for you to do these things.
Everything you have can be dedicated to the Lord.
Even if you dedicate the entire country to the Lord, it doesn’t matter.
Woolen cloth" These words made Irina silent for a long time.

It was not until she walked a few streets that she changed the subject and said: "I feel very insecure now.
Several trusted and capable guards have stayed with the envoy."
The official residence has attracted the attention of the monitors.
There is no one around me who can protect my safety.
Can you lend me a few people?"
Zhao Ziliang said strangely: "You trust my people so much, or you trust me so much."
Irina asked back: "Most of the people who follow me have intentions.
As long as they have intentions, they may betray me.
So do you have any plans for me?"
"All right"
People were talking about it, so what else could Zhao Ziliang say?
He could only agree.
As he walked, he waved to the plainclothes guards who were following him from a distance.
Soon, a plainclothes guard walked up quickly and hugged Zhao Ziliang.
Hold your fists.
Zhao Ziliang ordered: "Go and call Bart over.
Go and come back quickly."
"Yes" the plainclothes guard agreed and left quickly.
Zhao Ziliang originally wanted Zhang Huchen or Zhang Bi to stay with a dozen Long Guard soldiers to protect Irina, but when he thought that some oriental faces appearing next to Irina to protect her safety might cause more unhappiness.
Necessary trouble, but it was very common for the royal family or nobles of the Eastern Roman Empire to have black Africans as guards, so he thought about it and decided to keep Bart.
Bart is an African black man.
At one time, Bart's appearance reminded Zhao Ziliang of his former bodyguard Nuer.
Nuer was also an African black slave.
His fighting ability was beyond comparison with ordinary people.
The two had fought side by side countless times, but Nuer had been fighting side by side for many years.
He died of illness before.
Bart and Noor are very similar in terms of body shape, personality, and fighting ability.
The key is that he is very loyal and very fighting.
He is the best person to stay to protect Irina.
People in the Eastern Roman Empire will not be dissatisfied with it.
His presence repels.
When he was about to arrive at Saint Sophia Cathedral, Bart finally rushed over.
He walked to Zhao Ziliang and whispered: "Your Majesty, you summon me."
Zhao Ziliang stopped, turned around, pointed at Irina and asked Bart: "Bart, do you know her?"
"Of course, Empress Dowager Irina of the Eastern Roman Empire" "Are you loyal to me?"
Bart knelt down on one knee holding the sword and said: "Bart will always be loyal to Your Majesty.
Even if the world collapses and the universe is destroyed, Bart's heart of loyalty to Your Majesty will not change."
"Get up."
Zhao Ziliang stretched out his hand to help Bart up and said: "Bart, you have always had strong force.
You didn't realize it before because your heart was not brave enough and you had no one to be loyal to.
Now, not only do you have strong force, but you also have a strong force."
A brave heart, a loyal heart, this is your advantage.
Not everyone has this advantage.
It is rare to have it, and this is what makes you unique.
Once upon a time, I said to my subjects, There are three types of people in this world who can make it impossible for everyone to ignore their existence no matter where they are, regardless of race, and they can be respected by everyone in the world.

These three types of people are brave people, loyal people, Even if people with high moral character are enemies, they must respect them.
You are already a brave person.
I hope you will be a loyal person throughout your life.
Loyalty is a kind of belief and a kind of persistence.
Loyalty can make people live a simple life. ,hapiness":
