After stepping on all the noble families, the empress asked me to marry her?

Chapter 150: The Monk's Experience! Parthian Empire! Zoroastrianism (6K)

"After discovering the lack of manpower."

"The first reaction is to think about arresting others!"

"He is indeed the minister chosen by Chen Huaixin."

“This is an unspeakable act.”

"It's exactly the same as Chen Huaixin!"

Looking at the deduction of the Jiantian Mirror.

The Imperial College's chief academic officer couldn't help but snort coldly.

Even he knew it.

If the coal mines on the grassland could be mined.

Then the people of Yu Kingdom will no longer fear the cold winter.

but.

This did not prevent him from using this incident to attack Chen Huaixin!
Ji Changling, who was standing next to him, glanced at him and said, "Master Jijiu, please stop talking nonsense. You once said that enlightening the people would destroy the Yu Kingdom. Why hasn't it become a reality yet?"

"The Yu Kingdom is still thriving!"

The words I once said were used to hit me like a boomerang.

The chief priest's face suddenly turned dark and ugly.

But he didn't dare to attack the royal princess.

I can only continue to curse Chen Huaixin's shamelessness.

However, even the officials of the aristocratic families no longer agreed with him.

Because everyone's eyes were all on the Jiantian Mirror!
of course.

They don't care about the coal mines on the grassland.

Because even if they knew where this thing was, they didn't have the ability to mine it!
"Even the future Yuguo."

"I want to mine the coal mine on the grassland."

“It’s not that easy.”

"Then don't talk about our Chengguo!"

Wang Qianhe shook his head.

but.

He didn't feel helpless.

Since these are things that cannot be done anyway, there is no need to worry about them so much.

The monks who traveled to foreign countries and met a large number of missionaries attracted their attention even more!

"It took more than half a year to reach Rome from the most remote country in the Western Regions?"

"No! That place shouldn't be Rome, otherwise those missionaries wouldn't be preaching on the streets."

"Although I don't know the situation in Rome, most of its people should believe in Catholicism. They just need to sit in the church and wait for believers to come. Why do they need to preach like this?"

"Unless Rome, like Chen Huaixin, restricts the development of religion and controls what religion does, how could anyone in this world think of such a thing?"

"So the place that the monk arrived at was most likely one of the countries occupied by Rome, but this is enough for us to observe part of Rome's strength!"

"..."

The ministers in the court discussed it with great anticipation.

You should know.

in this world.

There is also a country that can launch an expedition.

Naturally, they want to know how powerful it is and what the result will be if it collides with Yu Kingdom!
Even though many people believed that Yu Country was powerful and invincible, what if it lost? !

"If you lose."

“That would be really fun!”

"wrong!"

"Chen Huaixin is looking down on other countries!"

"Yuguo will definitely suffer failure!"

Those officials from aristocratic families thought so.

Even though Chen Huaixin said that we can despise the enemy strategically, we must never underestimate it tactically!
But apart from Duke Weiguo who was still savoring this sentence, the more he savored it, the more he felt that Chen Huaixin's leadership idea was brilliant, everyone else basically didn't care!
The Sixth Princess Ji Changwei was now clenching her hands nervously, praying in her heart that the monk must not reveal the exact location of Yu Kingdom!

"otherwise."

"Wait until the deduction is over."

"I will definitely ask my aunt to flatten some temples!"

……

【The monk is very smart.】

【After preaching in the farthest country in the Western Regions. 】

【He was following a foreign merchant. 】

【Let's go together towards Rome. 】

【"after all."】

[“These foreign merchants came to the Western Regions to do business.”]

[“Even without knowing where Rome is.”]

[“But no matter what… you can help me avoid taking detours!”]

【This is what the monk was thinking.】

【And those foreign merchants. 】

[They naturally knew how much influence Yuguo had on the Western Regions.]

[So they could only turn a blind eye to the monk's following.]

【Anyway.】

They are not heading to Rome.

[Even if I take this monk with me on the journey. ]

[It will not affect their business. ]

【“As for killing this monk.”】

[“Avoid exposing our trading routes?”]

[“Then forget it.”]

[“We still have to do business in the Western Regions!”]

[Many foreign merchants saw it with their own eyes. ]

[The monk wrote down in a letter who he had met and who he planned to travel with, and asked the merchants of Yu Country to send it back to Chang'an City and give it to Master Xinkong.]

[If this monk met with misfortune because of them, then Master Xinkong would definitely investigate, and even attract the cavalry of Yu Country! ]

[“The army of Yuguo is very domineering!”]

【“Even if there is no evidence.”】

【“Just a guess.”】

[“They will also take action without hesitation!”]

[These foreign merchants doing business in the Western Regions are naturally very clear about the Yu Kingdom's style of doing things. ]

[They don't want to be afraid of coming to the Western Regions again because of this monk. The income from this route, even if it only takes one round trip a year, is much more profitable than other businesses! ]

[Moreover, the silk and porcelain they brought back, plus the new and unique items recently produced by Yu Country, made them be treated as superior people in their own country! ]

【That's cutting off your own financial resources. 】

[They don’t want to do it, nor do they dare to do it! ]

[So some merchants would secretly take care of the monks who followed them, fearing that the monks would die on the way and affect them! ]

【That’s why. 】

[The monk was able to travel through several small countries in just half a year to reach this completely unfamiliar country. Thanks to the merchant's help, he was able to master most of the language.]

【At least we don’t have to worry about language barriers anymore! 】

【And when it came. 】

[This looks like a very prosperous country. ]

【The merchants then scattered like birds and beasts. 】

[Only the merchant who took care of him said that they had returned to their homeland. If the monk still wanted to go to Rome, he could only rely on himself.]

【“If you have any letters.”】

[“If you want to send it to the Western Regions.”]

[“I can help you with that.”]

[The merchant said this to the monk.]

[He is not really so kind as to do something that does not bring much profit. ]

[He just wanted the monk to write that he had left those merchants who followed him. If he encountered any problems in the future, even if he really died outside, it would have nothing to do with those merchants! ]

【"otherwise."】

[“If this monk died in Rome.”]

[“You can’t let us take the blame, right?!”]

[The businessman's eyes are full of anticipation.]

【The monk naturally knew what he was thinking. 】

【And I got so many conveniences along the way. 】

[The monk would naturally not deliberately embarrass these people. ]

[He wrote a letter and handed it to the merchant in front of him. After watching the merchant leave with a sense of relief, he looked towards the prosperous city in front of him.]

[“Although.”]

[“It can’t compare to Chang’an City.”]

[“But it’s pretty good.”]

[“It is much stronger than the small countries along the way.”]

[The monk thought silently in his heart.]

[Most of the countries he passed through on this road could only be called ordinary cities, and some were not even that big as villages. Anyway, poverty and weakness were their main themes.]

[But the country in front of us is different. This city of its may look like this because it is the capital, but judging by the soldiers on the city wall, it... should not be too weak! ]

[“Parthian Empire?”]

【"turn out to be."】

[“Isn’t this still Rome?”]

[The monk listened to others calling it and memorized it in his mind.]

[He felt that this news should be very useful. Perhaps he should stay in this country for a while to collect more information related to it! ]

【but. 】

【When you enter the street. 】

[He saw many missionaries wearing black robes.]

[He almost thought this was the Catholic's nest! ]

【“Rome is still a long way from here.”】

【“These Catholic missionaries.”】

[“Should he have been sent here first?”]

[Just like His Majesty sent them to these countries to collect information and preach, it is quite normal for Rome to let Catholic missionaries do the same thing as them.]

[The monk had some guesses in his mind.]

【but. 】

He didn't intend to.

[Just like when we were in the Western Regions.]

【Start preaching right here. 】

[After all, when he was in the Western Regions, he was not afraid of encountering any danger, even if there were no Yu Kingdom cavalry around him, but the strength of Yu Kingdom allowed him to do anything without fear! ]

[This place is too far from Yu Country, so your Majesty's blessing may not be as good as Buddha's blessing. Let's wait until the cavalry of Yu Country arrives, and then let the people here pray for your Majesty's blessing again! ]

[The monk thought so.]

[He planned to quietly explore information in this city, and then leave when he had enough information, and continue to head towards distant Rome.]

【However.】

[Just as he turned around.]

[When preparing to leave. ]

[He suddenly saw a group of people wearing white robes, white hats or white turbans, and belts around their waists, walking towards him quickly.]

[The monk was stunned.]

【But soon. 】

【He then reacted.】

[These people are not coming for him.]

[Instead, he was coming for the missionary in the black robe behind him! ]

【he……】

[Stuck in the middle! ]

【even.】

[He couldn't just leave.]

[Because the black-robed preacher was also heading towards them! ]

[This left the monk in the middle with no choice but to speak.]

【"Amitabha."】

[“Buddha… no, please bless me, Your Majesty!”][“I really had no intention of getting involved!”]

……

In the Golden Palace.

That monk's approach.

Many people secretly praised him for his intelligence.

Able to take advantage of Yuguo's strength to achieve one's own goals.

Even if Chen Huaixin knew about this, he would be particularly optimistic about him and even commend him.

“Such a person.”

“Become a monk.”

“It’s a bit of a shame.”

"He should be only a few years old now."

"Is there a chance to find him and train him?"

A minister thought so in his heart.

Such a young and clever person.

Of course they want it.

but.

When the monk arrived in the Parthian Empire.

The eyes of all the ministers widened.

"This city should be the capital of the Parthian Empire, right? Its prosperity... is only slightly inferior to that of Chang'an City in Dacheng!"

"From the condition of the streets, it seems that there are a lot of merchants in this country. Could it be that this country has developed like this because it supports merchant trade?"

"But the living standards of the people there seem to be much worse than those of Yu Country."

"After all, businessmen are profit-driven. They only care about making money for themselves. How could they care about the people?"

"And the Parthian Empire probably doesn't have something similar to the Yu Kingdom's Commercial Law, or even if it does, it won't be that detailed. Otherwise, the income from commercial taxes alone would be enough to improve the lives of the people!"

"..."

Looking at the images in the Mirror of Heaven, the ministers began to discuss the matter.

but.

Listen to their words.

Wang Qianhe shook his head slightly.

"The slightly less prosperous Chang'an City of Dacheng?"

"But I dare not tell the truth in front of His Majesty!"

"Its prosperity..."

"It has long surpassed my country's Chang'an City!"

Think of this.

Wang Qianhe's heart was filled with helplessness.

It would have been fine if they were completely crushed by Dayu.

Even these countries far outside the Western Regions can't compare? !

and.

Judging from their economic development, their military strength should not be too weak. If they suddenly appear outside the border of Dacheng, I am afraid they may not be able to defeat them!
Dacheng...is no longer as powerful as it once was!
"but."

"Fortunately."

“It’s very far away from the Western Regions.”

"And I don't know the current situation of my Dacheng."

"Otherwise, that's when the real trouble comes!"

Wang Qianhe felt somewhat relieved.

But this also made him more wary of Rome, and he also had some doubts about what Chen Huaixin said, that Rome was not that powerful.

because.

In that deduction picture.

The capital of the powerful Parthian Empire has many missionaries from Rome!
"It's either because I can't win, or because I've lost too many battles."

"How could there be a country that allows a religious sect from another country to preach in its own country!"

"And preaching in the capital of a country!"

Wang Qianhe thought in his heart.

Of course he could see that.

The man in the white robe and turban who came to trouble the Catholic missionaries was most likely the Parthian Empire’s own religion!
When you have religion in your own country, why do you allow others to preach in your country?

No matter how you think about it, you know this is impossible!
Unless there has been no battle on the battlefield.

So this is something you have to endure helplessly!

This is enough to make us guess that the Roman Empire was stronger than the Parthian Empire!

"And the Parthian Empire is likely to be stronger than our Chengguo."

"Let's continue with this inference."

"Yuguo faces such an opponent."

"Can we really win so easily?!"

Wang Qianhe was no longer as sure as before.

And among the princesses, Ji Changling, looking at the picture in the Jiantian Mirror, suddenly felt it was very interesting.

"On a street."

"Three religious people appeared."

“This is a wonder!”

……

[The monk was not completely involved.]

【because.】

【In notice. 】

【His unique bald head and the clothes he wears. 】

【Whether it is a Catholic missionary. 】

[He was also a missionary of Zoroastrianism.]

[They could all tell that the monk in front of them was not from the other side, and was not even a local! ]

[“Who is this person?!”]

[This doubt did not remain in their minds for long.]

【after all.】

[The Catholics who were constantly searching for Dacheng, and the Zoroastrian missionaries of the Parthian Empire who had close ties with the Western Regions, all knew more or less about the affairs of the great country in the Central Plains.]

[They also knew more or less about Buddhism, which had a huge influence in the Central Plains! ]

[And this strangely dressed foreigner in front of me is exactly the same as the description in Buddhism! ]

【Thinking of this. 】

【The Catholic missionaries' eyes lit up.】

[They have been working hard to find the traces of Dacheng Kingdom. Now that Buddhists from the Central Plains have come to them, how could they not cherish this opportunity! ]

[The Zoroastrian missionary didn't have too many thoughts. After realizing that the person in front of him was not a Catholic missionary, he walked around him and mingled with the Catholic missionary behind him.]

[And the Catholic missionaries, in order to get this monk, also tried their best to fight these Zoroastrian pagans. Otherwise, under the circumstances just now, they would not have been able to take the monk away.]

[This also caused a spectacle to appear in the chaos of battle. ]

[The monk standing in the middle, with his hands clasped together, seems to be muttering something.]

[Beside him, people wearing white robes or black robes kept falling down, and some people rushed forward from his side.]

【But no matter what the battle situation is. 】

【It never affected him.】

【Although.】

[It is temporarily impossible to leave this chaotic battlefield. 】

【But the monk was not affected at all. 】

[I even have the leisure to observe the battle between the two sides! ]

【"Amitabha."】

【"turn out to be."】

[“In this foreign country.”]

[“It is also useful to pray for His Majesty’s blessing!”]

[The monk thought excitedly in his heart.]

[He thought that he was involved in this accident and would be beaten no matter what. It was very likely that he would die here before he could accomplish his mission!]

[After all, in this era, even if it is just a physical fight, the fight is aimed at taking the opponent's life! ]

[But who would have thought that when he just prayed for His Majesty's blessing, no one would pay attention to him, the bald man in the middle of the battlefield. Sometimes, even when there were Zoroastrian missionaries who wanted to punch him, a weak, pitiful and helpless monk, even when they wanted to punch him a few times, there would always be Catholic missionaries who would stand up to protect him! ]

[This made the monk feel more favorable and ashamed towards the Catholic missionary.]

【“I knew it earlier.”】

[“We will not allow the missionaries from the Western Regions to go to Dayu.”]

[“He should still be imprisoned in the Dali Temple.”]

[The monk thought so.]

【But now he can only recite a Buddhist passage to pray for the missionary who is spreading the religion illegally.】

【but. 】

[Just when he was daydreaming. ]

[The chaotic battle finally ended. ]

[The soldiers of the Parthian Empire who arrived late seemed to be accustomed to such scenes. They were too lazy to even arrest the enemy. They just took a glance and then withdrew their troops.]

[This made the monk frown slightly.]

[“If it were in Chang’an City.”]

【“Such a conflict broke out between Buddhism and Taoism.”】

[“The government will definitely put both of us in jail immediately.”]

[“And they will give us very severe punishment.”]

[“How can the Parthian Empire be so casual?!”]

【The monk was puzzled.】

【But the final victor, the Catholic missionary, had already walked in front of him.】

“These guys.”

[“We can’t defeat the Roman Empire on the battlefield.”]

[“You can’t defeat us in street fights.”]

[“I don’t know where they get the courage from. Every once in a while, they come to cause trouble for us!”]

【The Catholic missionary cursed. 】

[The monk, who had learned phonetics from the merchant, could naturally understand what he said, and this complaint also made him understand why this street fight broke out.]

【even.】

[He probably guessed it.]

[This is obviously not Rome.]

【Why are there so many Catholic missionaries! 】

[But the monk remained calm on the surface. After all, he was a smart monk! ]

【And the Catholic missionary also turned his attention to him. 】

[“Are you a monk from Dacheng Kingdom?”]

[“There is no Dacheng now. I came from Dayu in the East.”]

【The monk is very honest.】

【Now the people must be strong. 】

[This Catholic missionary has already gone mad with rage. Maybe he will get upset with him and punch him a few times.]

[“Dayu? Anyway, it’s just like Dacheng, both are rich in porcelain and silk, right?” The Catholic missionary ignored all the nonsense and directly asked for the most crucial information. ]

The monk did not hide it and said, "Yes, but I am much stronger than Dacheng. Comparing them is an insult to me, Dacheng!"

[He was not arguing for Dayu, but was implicitly telling the missionary in front of him that Dayu was very powerful and he should not do anything bad to him! ]

[But the Catholic missionary laughed loudly: "Powerful? Who dares to call themselves powerful in front of the Roman Empire and the Catholic expeditionary army?!"]

[“Even the Parthian Empire was frightened by our defeat and had no choice but to allow us to preach in this country!”]

【Catholic missionaries are very proud.】

【The monk's heart suddenly sank.】

【In his opinion.】

[The Parthian Empire is pretty good. ]

[But the Roman Empire was even more powerful than it! ]

【Then he will tell you the exact location of Dayu. 】

【Told the missionaries in the Western Regions.】

[“It shouldn’t… bring any trouble to Dayu, right?!”]
