What Tarasius said made Constantine almost believe that all the mistakes were caused by the city guards accepting bribes.
If the city guards had not accepted bribes from the Assassin organization and patrolled as usual, how could the Assassin organization have the courage?
Leading more than 800 mercenaries to besiege the offices of Qin's Trading Company But when he thought about it carefully, Constantine couldn't think so.
He was the emperor, and the city guards were his army.
How could he help outsiders?
He said: "Tarrasius, didn't you listen to me when I asked you to come?"
You are accusing the city guards of their crimes, but I want you to solve this matter perfectly."
Tarasius asked: "I don't know how your Majesty wants to solve this matter."
Constantine said coldly: "After all, the city guards are my army and the army of the empire.
No matter what mistakes they make, they cannot be slaughtered by others at will.
This is a provocation to the entire empire.
They have practitioners, Don’t we have any practitioners?
Shouldn’t their practitioners be punished for attacking ordinary people?
I hope that the church will arrest and bring to justice the Western Qin practitioners who massacred the city guards, and the Inquisition will be responsible for the trial.”
Tarasius said directly: "Your Majesty, I can't do this.
Your Majesty can remove me as the Patriarch and choose another capable person to solve this matter."
Now Constantine was completely angry.
He thought that Thalassius was deliberately confronting him and deliberately making him look bad.
He almost overturned the imperial court and said angrily: "Talasius, you are so stupid."
What does the word mean?”
A look of fear flashed across Tarasius's face and he said: "Your Majesty, you asked me to find trouble with the practitioners of Qin's Trading Company and arrest him.
I dare not even think about it, let alone them.
There is an extremely terrifying being among them.
Even if our church has the ability to arrest them and hold them on trial, does Your Majesty think this matter will end perfectly?
I dare to guarantee it with my head.
As long as we do this, it will definitely happen.
The war between practitioners that caused the war between the empire and Western Qin has not occurred on a large scale in the past thousand years.
For ordinary people, they never know how much damage the previous wars between practitioners will bring.
Once When the war between cultivators breaks out, the national forces in the secular world will inevitably be involved.
This is a war that can destroy civilization.
How much chance does your majesty think the current empire has of winning if it starts a full-scale war with the Western Qin Kingdom?"
Constantine was completely dumbfounded.
He had not thought of this at all.
As an emperor who had just taken over the power of ruling the empire, his political acumen was still too weak.
After a cup of tea, Constantine came back to his senses and asked reluctantly and with difficulty: "Could it be that if we just forget about this matter, the death of those city guard soldiers would be in vain?"
Tarasius covered his face and rubbed it, and said with a bitter smile: "Let's forget it.
If you want to let it go, it depends on whether they are willing.
I am worried that they will hold on to this matter, so we will be the first to go out to practice.
They take part in fights between ordinary people as an excuse to let their practitioners cause harm to ordinary citizens of Constantinople.
You have to know how powerful a practitioner is.
How terrifying.
Some practitioners are not as threatening to ordinary people as the pastors of our church.
Sometimes a powerful practitioner can slaughter a city and destroy a country.
What on earth did this stupid woman Serdot do?
Oh God, I am so scared.

I can’t imagine what kind of devastating damage the entire Constantinople will suffer once that powerful Western Qin practitioner goes crazy.”
Constantine was very embarrassed, "Don't the empire have any practitioners who can resist him?"
Tarasius sighed and said: "Fighting alone, I can't think of anyone who can fight against this person.
If all the practitioners in Constantinople are gathered together, there may be a chance of winning, but is Your Majesty sure you want to do this?
If both parties really If a fight breaks out, the situation will be out of control.
Your Majesty should be prepared for a full-scale war with Western Qin in advance, otherwise I do not recommend that your Majesty make such a determination."
Under the purple robe, a pair of hands were clenched and trembling.
As an emperor, he had personally seen practitioners display their abilities.
Ordinary people were like ants in front of practitioners.
After thinking for a while, Constantine couldn't think of any other way, so he could only ask: "How do you think this matter should be resolved?"
Tarasius said: "Now we can only send people to contact the other party's practitioners to apologize and calm down the other party's anger to prevent them from taking more extreme actions."
Constantine lost his voice and said: "Why are you crazy?
If you apologize to them, how can the empire lose its face?"
Tarasius sneered when he heard this: "Hey, what else are you going to do?
Are you going to fight to the end?
Are you going to let the situation continue to deteriorate?
In the final analysis, we sent out the practitioners first to participate in the battle of ordinary people.
It's us.
The city guards accepted bribes from the Assassin organization The government and businessmen colluded to deal with foreign merchants, and the government and the Assassin organization colluded to deal with foreign merchants.
Isn't this disgusting enough?
Do we have to confidently tell the people of Western Qin that we don't have it?
wrong" Constantine's entire face turned dark, "The Assassin organization dispatched practitioners first to attack the escort of Qin's caravan.
What does it have to do with the officialdom?"
Tarasius clenched his fists and beat his head continuously, shouting in pain: "Oh, my God, why do I have such an emperor?
His Majesty the Emperor thinks that the Assassin organization sends out practitioners to participate in the massacre of ordinary people."
The battle has nothing to do with the Empire, you can even So they do not recognize those people in the Assassin organization as subjects of the Eastern Roman Empire, but do the people of Western Qin think so?
In their view, no matter who they are, they are all people of the Eastern Roman Empire, as long as they are people of the Eastern Roman Empire , no matter what they did, this scapegoat wants me Our dynasty is here to support you.
Can you broaden your horizons and stand taller when looking at problems?
If you are still struggling with these irrelevant issues, if you don't make a decision, the people of Western Qin will not wait.
We, once they take action, will be the first to die.
It must be Seldot who is the culprit, and I don’t know who they will deal with next.
Maybe they will go directly to the palace to kill you, the emperor.
You must know that we are afraid of an all-out war with the Western Qin people, but they are not afraid. , they are worried that they can’t find an excuse.”
Constantine's face turned pale and his body began to tremble violently.
He lost his mind and shouted loudly: "Quickly call all the soldiers of the Ninth Royal Guards to participate in the defense of the palace."
"Yes, my lord" The Ninth Royal Guards is a special army.
This army only has 500 people, but each one is a physical cultivator with strong faith.
Each of them has very strong close combat capabilities.
This is also the royal trump card, the absolute power to check and balance church and folk practitioners.
After the order was given, Constantine felt a little more at ease.
He looked at Tarasius and said: "Archbishop, I will leave this matter to you.
You will contact the Western Qin practitioners and talk to them.
Let’s talk, see what their demands are, and try to satisfy them.
Now the empire doesn’t have the strength to start a full-scale war with the Western Qin people.
We must be patient and wait until the empire becomes stronger before we let them look good.”

Constantine's series of performances just now exposed the weaknesses of his character.
Tarasius saw this very clearly.
Under the current complicated situation at home and abroad, Tarasius did not think that he had the ability to let him down.
The strength of the empire has been substantially improved, but this fact is obviously not considered now.
He promised: "Yes, if His Majesty the Emperor has nothing else to do, I will leave."
"Wait a minute" Constantine stopped Tarasius who was about to leave and asked: "Did you go to the official residence of the envoy of the Western Qin Dynasty to see your mother during this time?"
Tarasius hesitated for a moment and said, "I've been there twice."
"Is she okay?"
Tarasius said: "Her Majesty the Queen Mother is in good health, but she is not very happy in mood.
Just imagine that a person can only stay in a small courtyard all day long.
No matter who it is, he will not be happy."
Constantine was silent for a moment and asked: "I didn't want to do anything to my mother, but she didn't believe me and thought I had ill intentions towards her.
If I wanted to take her out and continue to live in the Holy Apostles Cathedral, What do you think?"
Thalassius glanced at Constantine and said: "Your Majesty, I have no say in this matter.
This is a family matter between your mother and your son."
Constantine also knew that this matter would not be easily resolved.
Irina obviously had a deep prejudice against him, and it was undoubtedly unrealistic to ease the relationship between mother and son in a short period of time.
"Okay, let's go" Thalassius bowed to Constantine, turned and left the palace.
After Thalassius left, Constantine immediately ordered troops to surround Serdot's mansion on the pretext of disrupting the market, and told her not to leave the house without his order.
On the surface, Serdot was placed under house arrest. , in fact, to protect her, he was still worried that the Western Qin cultivator would kill Seldot to vent his anger.
Arriving at the church office area in the outer courtyard of the palace, Tarasius explained some work and matters to the clergy officials working here, then immediately returned to Hagia Sophia in a carriage, and immediately reported to Irina what happened last night.
The business area and the experience of meeting the emperor just now.
Irina frowned after hearing this.
This matter is really difficult to deal with.
The assassination by the Assassin organization is not a big deal.
What puts the Eastern Roman Empire in a passive position is that the Assassin organization colluded with the city guards, The Assassin Organization had deployed two key points: cultivators.
She had already sensed that Zhao Ziliang was likely to seize these two points to make a big fuss.
If it were her, she would never give up easily.
After careful consideration, Irina said: "You make arrangements and I will go see him in person."
"yes":
