Cleopatra rolls out of the blanket.Her exaggerated Venus make-up during the day had been changed, no powder, her hair was decorated with gold leaf in braids, her body under the sari cloak was very poorly dressed, she was not flustered, she looked left and right in Ren Hong's room with her hands behind her back, and her eyes fell on the map of Egypt that the sword and pen had hurriedly rolled up.In shock, the guards and the little officials withdrew from the room with a sense of humor under the head of General Ren.Assassination?
I don't know who stabbed who tonight.When they left, they laughed, saying that tonight's events would not be hidden from Madame, and that there would be a good show when they returned to the body.Ren Hong seemed to expect this play, threw the dog tail grass that teased the cat in his hand, invited the queen to sit, and looked at her smooth shoulders: "Isn't the queen cold?"
”He was still thinking about how two people could communicate without a translator, relying on the flesh?
I never thought that Cleopatra was fluent in Chinese as soon as she opened her mouth."
It's because it's cold, so I brought a blanket to the general" "And me in the blanket." ”She put her hands on her chest, and her eyes were full of temptation: "If one person is cold, two people will not be cold, and this truth must be the same in Seris and Egypt." ”The legend has it that the queen was a linguistic genius, fluent in Greek and Roman, and one of the few fluent Egyptians in the Ptolemaic family, who called themselves "Pharaohs".The queen lifted the wine jug very familiarly, poured the fuchsia wine and handed it to Ren Hong, her eyes were full of the affectionate veins she deliberately pretended, since the queen's pomp couldn't frighten General Ren, how about a little girl who adored him?
People of General Ren's age are most likely to be interested in young girls.Don't ask her how she knows.And at the moment, Ren Hong didn't drive her out directly, which shows that there is a drama.The queen must understand what General Ren wants, since he does not speak easily during the day, it is easy to ask when the girl wraps herself around the man's neck and pets her after the bed.This is the simplest and rude way for the two to go from strangers to acquaintances, the queen has no time to play the game of guessing, with a smile on her face, she is approaching General Ren step by step, she wants to take the lead.Ren Hong sighed: "The queen came to visit late at night, did she want to know the purpose of my visit to Egypt?"
Let's just be open and honest with the queen. ”It's that easy?
Then you should have said it earlier!
The queen nodded, but listened to Ren Hong say, "I want a posture." ”Phew, it's a big deal, but fortunately, the queen didn't understand, Ren Hong corrected: "I want knowledge!"
”"Knowledge?"
The queen was stunned."
It's a book."
Ren Hongdao: "I heard that there is a large library in Alexandria, and for three hundred years, successive Ptolemaic kings have collected almost all the books in the world, and the collection of books has reached hundreds of thousands of volumes. ”The Queen was of course aware of the Great Library, and had visited it several times before she ascended the throne.The library was built by the founder of the dynasty, Ptolemy I, the "Savior", with the purpose of "collecting the books of the world."
If you want to ask Ptolemy I, one of the Diadochi, why he attached so much importance to knowledge, because he was Alexander's companion and a disciple of Aristotle, he wanted to realize the dream of a teacher's world knowledge collection.Ptolemy II and III carried on this great ideal, and found every effort to collect books from Athens, Greece, and other places, and ordered every ship that entered the port of Alexandria to immediately return to the library if it found books, regardless of nationality.Homer's epics, Greek plays, Euclid's geometric primitives, and the writings and even manuscripts of Plato, Aristotle, and Archimedes, history, medicine, geography, astronomy, philosophy, everything.Greece, ancient Egypt, Phoenicia, and almost all the wisdom crystallization of the history of the Western world are condensed in this library, which is truly the perfect "stone from other mountains".However, with the weakening of Ptolemy's national power, the chaos of internal affairs, and the forgotten teachings of his ancestors, several Ptolemaic kings were uneducated and unskilled, and they no longer paid attention to collecting books.Who would have thought that in the far east, there was a man who loved books as much as Ptolemy I.In order to gain knowledge, he crossed an ocean and waged a war against a country on another continent!
Compared with Chong Guan's anger and red face, which is romantic?
The Queen's mouth was slightly open, a little incredulous, but that was the only explanation for the unusual behavior of the Serisians.In her eyes, General Ren has become more mysterious.Of course, after following the decision of "going to war for knowledge" in the East and the West, General Ren Hong is already a pure person, a person who has detached himself from low-level interests!
Ren Hong stretched out his hands and began to talk nonsense again: "So the queen." ”"I don't have to go to war with King Ptolemy.""
The envoy has gone to the south to negotiate with Theodotus, I just need to show the strength of the Han army, make the king of Ptolemy feel threatened, and then force him to hand over the scroll, which is more important, the country or the book, presumably the king of Ptolemy knows very well."
Cleopatra heard Ren Hong's implication: once the agreement was reached, Ptolemy XIII would hand over the books, and Ren Hong would hand her over!
Isn't that a perfect deal?
This was something the queen had not expected, but she immediately stroked her stomach and burst out laughing."
General Ren overestimates my brother too much."
The queen said: "There are two sides to the Delamarck coin, and my family's blood marriage is like a coin toss, and the child born is a genius on the one hand, and a fool on the other, and my brother is unfortunately thrown on the back." ”As for her, of course, she is a genius who throws the positive.She was not defeated by her brother, but by the ministers who had been in control of the country since her father's lifetime, and they only needed puppets to expel her who was unwilling to cooperate.But now, the queen wants to emphasize the power and ignorance of Ptolemy XIII."
He is just a naughty boy who has not grown up, and makes decisions not based on the situation, but according to his own likes and angers.""
He may refuse to let you go, and with General Achillas and an army of tens of thousands, he prefers to fight."
The queen clenched her fists: "War is inevitable, and I can help the general win it." ”"There are hundreds of thousands of volumes in the Great Library, which take several days to transport by camel and wagon, and the general wants to take them with him.To take the waterway and then cross the eastern desert to the Red Sea ports, many ships and human livestock were needed.You need a trusted Pharaoh to stay safe in Alexandria, not a child who could tear the peace up at any moment. ”Her voice carried the temptation of a female: "General Ren, my brother can only give you a book at most." ”"And I can give a lot of gifts."
As he spoke, he began to untie his silk yarn clothes, and what kind of clothes to take off!
Ren Hong stopped her: "Queen, please respect yourself." ”Cleopatra didn't understand this word, he lightly took off the clothes on his body, looked up at General Ren and said, "Not only me, but also my dowry, complete in and out of Egypt." ”Ren Hong is a little impure, his eyes look up and down, he is still a little tempted, and at the same time he can't help but sigh, being young is good and slow, the queen is proposing to him?
Cleopatra made up her mind: "Didn't the general say that there is no co-ruler and vice-king in Seris?
You, who conquered India, whose fame spread throughout Egypt, Greece, Parthia, and Rome, are you just a mere general?
”"The gods owe you a crown!""
Marry me."
She stretches out her arms and confidently displays her body."
The general will become my co-ruler, a king, a god of Upper and Lower Egypt!"
And she will also become the queen of India, what a wonderful political marriage, each takes what he needs, and then almost disappears across the sea, each playing its own game.As was the tradition of Ptolemaic Egypt, a single queen should go to a husband and make him a co-king.Cleopatra's sister, Belenicius IV, ruled alone during the expulsion of the Piper, and her courtiers forced her to marry Seleucid King Seleucus VII, but she, the bride, strangled Seleucus VII to death, of course, a matter that the general did not know.But the name of the king and the temptation in front of him did not overwhelm Ren Hong's mind, he sighed, picked up the queen's tulle, and draped it over her shoulders, which was undoubtedly another blow to the queen's self-confidence."
I have a wife, and I'm a queen."
In this way, he who married Wusun Xiaokunmi is really a "co-ruler of the West Wusun Kingdom"!"
I have children and grandchildren waiting for me to go back in India, and this trip to Egypt is just a trip."
The implication is that at most, it is an old man's thrill-seeking one-night stand, and if he is responsible, forget it."
Moreover, India and Bactria are rich and vast enough that I don't need to go so far to seek territory and people."
After taking the book, he patted his ass and left, whoever likes to keep it, he doesn't keep it anyway."
As for the throne, I'm afraid the queen doesn't know, sooner or later the emperor of the Han Dynasty will crown me."
Ren Hong is very sure of this, in ten years, the old rule of "Guanxi shall not be a marquis" has become a null and void, and he has dozens of "Guanxi marquis" under him.And the ancestral system of "not the Liu family is not the king" will disappear sooner or later, and the situation is stronger than people, but Ren Hong would rather not receive the edict of the king from the imperial court, he knows what it means.Either he died, or Liu Xun was about to collapse.So Ren Hong's performance is not rare at all, and the crown of Egypt is not at all.Cleopatra's tears were about to come out, and she hung her head, a little desperate, knowing that she had made another mistake."
I should sacrifice my body first, and then talk about the conditions, after the men and women have a bed, they will not be so calm and rational."
The corners of the queen's eyes flickered, thinking about the next countermeasure, the general in front of her was definitely not the kind of person who was tempted by a woman."

However," Ren Hong had already dealt the queen enough blows to see her racking her brains and letting go of her dignity, while he firmly controlled the dominance.Now, it's time to give her a little hope.He also understood that if he wanted Alexandria's book collection, the safest way was to take the city down and support a pro-Han pharaoh to deal with the aftermath.And the real strong enemy of the Han army is the Romans, who will soon end the civil war, once it is dragged south by Caesar, things are probably going to be yellow.The expedition to protect the body was a wave, but the Romans were endless.So Ren Hong said: "If we can ensure that the certificate is shipped out in its entirety, let the queen become the pharaoh of Egypt, let the capital protectorate have one more ally, and the Han has one more tributary state in Hercy, wouldn't it be impossible?"
”Ren Hong held up the wine and handed it to the queen."
Listen up."
Cleopatra raised her head obediently, pitiful, she put down the dignity of the queen and knelt in front of General Ren, maybe this is what he wants.Ren Hong did tease her hair like a kitten."
If only the Queen could agree to my terms.""
Then tonight, I'm happy to make a deal with the Queen!"
