Chapter 1495: Audience with Charlemagne (2)


Charman looked at Zhao Ziliang blankly.

This young man who had an encounter with Zhao Ziliang more than thirty years ago has now become a middle-aged and elderly person.

The person who soon entered the ranks of the elderly has completely lost his former self.

That kind of vigor and heroic appearance, but now the aura on his body has become majestic and thick after years of cultivation.

"Ahem!"

The queen next to her coughed to remind Charman to pay attention to etiquette.

Charman came back to his senses and asked, "Your name is Zhao Yunge.

Are you related by blood to the royal family of Western Qin?"

Zhao Ziliang smiled and said: "So that His Majesty the King will know that I am the eldest son of the current King of Western Qin."

Everyone in the hall was immediately shocked, and soon began to talk in low voices.

The eldest son of a king was sent as an envoy.

It can be seen how seriously the king and senior officials of the country attached great importance to this mission, and the situation in the Western Qin Kingdom Also different from other countries, the eldest son of the king of Western Qin has the first line of succession and is also the de facto crown prince, equivalent to the co-ruling emperor of the Eastern Roman Empire.

After Charles recovered from the shock, he frowned, and the chill on his face became more and more intense, "But as far as I know, the eldest son of the king of Western Qin is called Zhao Ang, and he is not Zhao Yunge.

You want to pretend to be What is the intention of the prince of Western Qin Kingdom?"

Zhao Ziliang was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Your Majesty, I am both Zhao Ang and Zhao Yunge.

Ang is my name and Yunge is the character.

In our Tang Empire and Western Qin Kingdom, anyone with a little bit of knowledge and status can When people reach adulthood, they will be given a first name by their elders, which is an extension of their first name.

First names are generally used in writing and formal occasions.

In daily address, peers and elders call juniors by the first name.

This will make them appear close and friendly.

Some people also use the first name.

I will give myself a number.”

Charman looked at Archbishop Tobin with doubts.

Tobin was very knowledgeable.

He was proficient in Chinese, familiar with the affairs of the Western Qin Dynasty, and also had a lot of research on Eastern culture.

Tobin noticed Charman's gaze and immediately He turned around and saluted: "Your Majesty, the name of the eldest son of the King of Western Qin is indeed Zhao Ang, and his nickname is indeed Yunge.

If he can produce something that can prove his identity, I think there should be no problem." " Einhard immediately translated these words.

After hearing this, Zhao Ziliang took out a jade pendant from his arms and said: "This was given to me by my grandfather.

My name and surname were given by my grandfather.

I want this thing."

Can prove my identity, unless you know nothing about the East."

A waiter came over and took away the jade pendant from Zhao Ziliang's hand.

The jade pendant soon reached Charman's hand.

Charman looked over and over but couldn't see anything.

He just wanted to cover up his ignorance.

He He handed the jade pendant to Archbishop Tobin, "Archbishop, look at this stone."

Tobin took the jade pendant and looked at it carefully and said: "Your Majesty, this is called jade pendant in the East.

This kind of stone is generally produced in the East.

Craftsmen use exquisite craftsmanship to carve them into various shapes, with patterns or words.

You see, this kind of jade is crystal clear and extremely beautiful.

As far as I know, Top-grade jade pendants with fine carvings like this are usually presented as tribute to the royal family.

Only the royal family or members of the royal family can own them.

It is a crime to own a jade pendant of this level among the people.

You see there is a Chinese character "ang" on it, which means this piece of jade pendant.

The jade pendant belongs to Zhao Ang, the eldest son of the king.

This can be confirmed.”

The jade pendant was quickly returned to Zhao Ziliang.

Charman seemed a little embarrassed.

He laughed loudly to cover up the atmosphere, "So you are really Zhao Ang, the eldest son of the King of Western Qin.

Oh, can I call you You are Yunge” Zhao Ziliang said: "Of course, as an elder, of course you can call a junior by his name."

Charman nodded, with a smile on his face, "You see, I don't know much about your Western Qin country, and I know very little about Eastern culture, which is why there was such a misunderstanding.

I hope you can tell me Error, of course, it’s a mistake” "It doesn't matter, Your Majesty the King, everyone will make mistakes, let alone humans, even gods cannot always be right.

Judging from your country's hospitality standards, Your Majesty attaches great importance to my arrival.

I am very gratitude" Charman skipped this question and said with a smile: "Do you know why I just asked you if you are related to the Western Qin royal family?

Because you and your grandfather look so much like each other, they are almost from the same mold. came out more than thirty years ago, that I was still eighteen years old at that time, and I met your grandfather in Shanzhou of the Tang Empire.

At that time, I was traveling to the East as a mercenary, and at that time your grandfather was already the most important person in the Tang Empire.

The most famous and powerful general" Speaking of this, Charman's thoughts seemed to go back to the time when the Tibetan army besieged Shanzhou City more than thirty years ago.

He and his two companions happened to be blocked by the besieging Tibetan army in the city.

In order to survive, he and his two companions His companions had to join the Tang army to resist the Tibetan army's day and night attacks.

"Since the city was besieged, your grandfather had more than 10,000 men, including half of the cavalry.

The siege lasted for half a month.

The Tibetans continued to attack day and night every day until the end.

There are only more than a thousand people left around your grandfather who are still holding on.

Whether it is the bodies of their own people or the corpses of the enemy, the height between the city wall and the ground has long been leveled.

The Tubo people can rush up to the city wall in one go, and then Both sides are on the city wall Fights began, and the city wall was taken away by the Tubo army several times, but your grandfather quickly organized troops to take it back.

At that time, my companions and I had to join the Tang army to resist the Tubo attack in order to survive.

In the end, we The reinforcements came, and the reinforcements and the remaining troops in the city worked together to attack the Tubo army from inside and outside.

They suffered heavy casualties, and their king was shot to death by your grandfather while escaping.

From then on, the Tubo country was in chaos."

"After the war, your grandfather heard that several Westerners joined the battle and killed many Tubo people, so he received us and, as a reward, gave each of us a weapon."

Having said this, Charman looked very accomplished.

He turned to the waiter behind him and ordered: "Go get that bow."

"Yes, Your Majesty the King" The waiter quickly came over with a bow on his shoulder.

The bow was almost taller than his whole body.

Charman stood up and reached out to take the long bow and said: "This is the bow your grandfather gave me at that time.

This bow required 500 kilograms of strength to pull.

At that time, I couldn't pull the bowstring even with all my strength.

After returning to Aachen, I practiced strength every day, and then tried to draw it after a while, but it was not until seven years that I could fully draw it.

The bow your grandfather used in combat at that time required a thousand pounds of force to fully draw it.

I thought we Westerners were generally stronger than you Easterners, but it wasn’t until I met your grandfather that I realized how wrong I was.”

Zhao Ziliang asked: "Where were the other people who were with you at that time?"

Charman sighed and said with melancholy on his face: "The other two people were Roland and Gain.

Their names at that time were Tony and Jason.

After so many years, these two guys are fighting with me. died one after another” Charman said a lot, but he did not tell Zhao Ziliang that he took Roland and Gaien to the Central Plains to steal papermaking technology.

He also concealed that the reason why Roland died in the war was because of Gain.

Gaien's betrayal and betrayal, and Gaien was ordered to be executed for treason.

After Charman said this, he looked at Zhao Ziliang and said: "Yunge, do you know that the reason why I can create the current situation is largely due to the influence of your grandfather.

I met you more than 30 years ago.

That scene with my grandfather is something I will never forget forever.

I still remember it fresh to this day, as if it happened yesterday.

By the way, is your grandfather okay?

Where are you now?"

Zhao Ziliang said: "Thank you for remembering my grandfather.

He may be in Syria now, or he may be in Canaan or Palestine.

Anyway, these are the two places."

Charmain asked: "I have never understood why he gave up the throne to your father when he was sixty years old.

I heard that he was still in good health at the time.

Isn't he afraid that your father would torture him so much?"

The world we worked so hard to conquer is in a mess."

Zhao Ziliang spread his hands and said: "The ideas of great men are often different from ordinary people, just like you.

I believe that many of your subordinates think that they can't guess your ideas anyway.

In fact, this is because your ideas are different from those of ordinary people.

Ordinary people are different.

Otherwise, you would not have achieved what you have achieved today and created such a great situation for the Frankish Kingdom."

Charman was very happy, "I have to say that you are a very talkative child and a child who is very good at making the elders happy.

You should be about the same age as my children.

I think you should have something in common with them."

Topics and hobbies.

I will hold a palace banquet for you tonight, and most of my sons and daughters will be there, and I will introduce you to them."

Zhao Ziliang smiled and said: "Thank you for your kindness, I will definitely be there."

Charman seemed to remember and asked: "By the way, how are your riding skills and can you hunt?"

"Of course, riding and archery is something that all the children of our Western Qin people need to learn.

Many children of nobles and officials, and even all the children on the northern grasslands will learn riding and archery from an early age."

Fellman was very surprised by this.

It was a great thing to popularize mounted archery.

However, he was still very happy and said: "That's just right.

You can have something to eat at my place at noon.

After eating, we will go together."

Go hunting in the countryside and let me see your hunting skills.

If you satisfy me, I won’t mind marrying one of my daughters to you."

Zhao Ziliang and everyone were stunned.

You must know that Charlie has several daughters, the eldest daughter is over thirty years old.

Until now, none of his daughters has been married.

There are many speculations and rumors about this, but He didn't even care
