Chapter 496: A Missionary from Rome (Medium)


After half a month, Yang Kai and his entourage finally arrived at Hu Si Ear from the Iron Gate Pass, and now Hu Si Ear has become the political, economic and cultural center of the Great Xia Empire ruling the Western Regions, the vast majority of the Xia people living in the city are migrated from the east, the original nobles of the Black Khan Dynasty were all moved to Heishui City located in the hinterland of the Great Xia Empire by Li Liangzuo, and now the Hu Si Ear has changed The Western Regions style buildings have disappeared, and there is no difference between here and the Central Plains from the outside.

Yang Kai rode a horse and just came to the city gate, when a general greeted him and said, "Is it Lord Yang Kai?"

"This official is Yang Kai, dare to ask the general who is" "The lowly position is the deputy general of the Dadu Protector, and the Dadu Protector is waiting for the adults here."

"General Lao is leading the way."

"Adult, please" Under the leadership of the deputy general, Yang Kai and his entourage soon came to the Anxi Metropolitan Protectorate, as the highest ruling body of the Great Xia Empire in the Western Regions, the Anxi Metropolitan Protectorate was built very magnificently, standing in front of the door of the Anxi Metropolitan Protectorate, Lang Weiping was shocked and said to Yang Kai: "Yang, is this your palace, I have never seen such a magnificent building, and most of them are built of wood, the East is really a magical world" Before Long Weiping finished speaking, the guards guarding the gate of the capital palace put their swords on them, and the officer at the head said: "Bold maniac, dare to be so presumptuous, take it down." ” "Wait."

Yang Kai immediately stopped; "This general, this person is from Europa, he is a barbarian who doesn't understand my Chinese etiquette, and I ask the general to atone for his sins."

"Since the adults have spoken, then it is the duty to obey the order."

The officer said; "Please also ask the adults to discipline more in the future, and if you say such a big rebellious thing, you can only take it down according to the law."

"Thank you, General, for your hard work."

After entering the Metropolitan Protectorate, Lang Weiping chased after Yang Kai's ass and asked, "Yang, what did that person mean just now, why did you arrest me, why did you say that I was a barbarian." ” "If I don't say that, I'm afraid you'll already be in prison."

Yang Kai said to Lang Weining with a serious face; "Do you know how much trouble you just said I told you that this is the Great Xia Empire, be careful when you speak, if you say anything rebellious, I won't be able to save you."

"What do you mean by great rebellion?"

asked Longwining, puzzled.

Yang Kai patiently said to Lang Weining: "Let me tell you, this Duhu Mansion is a yamen, not a palace, let alone a palace; You just said that this is the royal palace, which is a great rebellion; Great rebellion means that you have signs of rebellion, and rebellion is to kill your head. ” "I understand Yang."

Longwinen chick nodded and said; "You have to teach me more of your etiquette in the future, I don't want to be arrested and put in prison just because of a word."

In the lobby of the Metropolitan Protector's Mansion, Li Yi was already waiting, and after Yang Kai came in, he bowed to Li Yi and said, "Your Majesty will meet the Metropolitan Protector." ” "Virtuous nephew, get up quickly."

Li Yi said with a smile; "Brother Yang has a son like you, Ben Hou is really gratified, it is really not easy to make such a great contribution at a young age, and His Majesty will definitely be rewarded after returning to Beijing."

"The lord laughed, and the lower officials just did their own thing."

Yang Kai said.

Li Yi walked up to Yang Kai and asked, "Virtuous nephew, what is that yellow-haired guy?"

"He's not a thing."

Yang Kai said with a smile; "He was a Europa, from Rome, and was sent by the Catholic Church to preach."

"Is their Pope the king of a country," Li Yi continued.

"This pope is the king of a nation, and he is not the king of a nation."

Yang Kai scratched his head and said; "The lower officials couldn't understand it for a while."

"Just tell me about it, and let me know about this Europa."

"This pope only rules directly over the Papal States, so that he is the king of a kingdom; But this pope is also the head of Catholicism, and now the whole of Europa is Catholic, and in this respect he is still the head of a denomination. ” "I probably understand when you say that; So how much power does this pope have?"

"The power of the pope is indeed great, and those kings of Europa must be crowned by the pope if they are to ascend the throne; In Europa, clerical power is above royal power. ” "Speaking of which, the Pope is the son of heaven for them Westerners."

"No, no, no," Long Weining, who was eavesdropping with his ears pricked up, immediately objected; "The Pope is a slave of God, not a son of God."

"God, what the hell" Li Yi said with a frown.

"God is the King of the Gods, and He Can Rule All Things" "Okay, okay, don't say it anymore, you've worked hard all the way, let's eat first, and we'll talk about it when we're done."

The food in Duhufu is naturally good, and the people who eat Longweining have always given a thumbs up, Longweining has never eaten such a delicious meal, compared to these, those that Longweining used to eat are scum; After being full of wine and food, Li Yi called Yang Kai to the study, in fact, Yang Kai didn't have to go through Hu Si to go back to Xingqing Mansion, the reason why Yang Kai came here was because he was invited by Li Yi, when Yang Kai had not yet arrived in the Great Xia Empire, Li Yi received a report from the spies; So Li Yi specially sent someone to inform Yang Kai that he had set up a banquet in Hu Si's ears to catch the wind and wash the dust.

The reason why Li Yi called Yang Kai to Hu Si's ears was actually for his own purpose, Li Yi invited Yang Kai into his study and said, "Virtuous nephew, I actually asked you to come here because I asked in advance."

"My lord, even if you say anything, as long as the lower official can do it, the lower official will definitely do his best."

"There are no outsiders here, you and my uncle and nephew don't have to see each other like this, I'm not a few years younger than your father, it should be more than enough to be your uncle."

Yang Kai smiled bitterly and said, "That's nature, that's nature; If the uncle has anything to say, the little nephew will do his best. ” "It's just a small favor."

Li Yi said with a smile; "Nephew, see if you can give my uncle a copy of the map of your journey to Europa; Of course, my uncle doesn't want all of them, I only want that part of the Seljuk Empire. ” "Isn't this uncle embarrassed little nephew," Yang Kai said in embarrassment; "This is the top secret of the empire, without Your Majesty's permission, how dare the little nephew leak it privately, if Your Majesty knows about it, the little nephew will destroy the Nine Clans; If the uncle really wants it, after the little nephew dedicates this picture to His Majesty, the uncle can ask His Majesty directly. ” "You can't make a discussion," Li Yi still said without giving up.

"It's really not good, please don't embarrass my little nephew."

Yang Kai said; "With the relationship between my uncle and His Majesty, if I open my mouth at that time, can Your Majesty not give it?"

"That's right, then don't embarrass the virtuous nephew."

Li Yi said with a smile; "Take care of that yellow hair along the way, don't make any trouble, you brought the person, if he causes something, you can't escape it."

"This little nephew understands."

"When you leave, I will send a team of soldiers and horses to protect you from leaving, and it has not been very peaceful in Tibet recently."

"Then thank you uncle."
