Phi-Fic Chapter 503 Gambler Sidious
Chapter 503 Gambler Sidious
In the Guest House of the Great Qin Dynasty, in the guest house for foreign guests, Sidia, Sophie and all the Roman envoys gathered together.
"Emperor Daqin said that he wanted to discuss matters related to the marriage, but he still hasn't replied to me. It's really worrying."
Little Scipio said impatiently.
As the next heir cultivated by the family, he knew the importance of the marriage between Rome and Qin Dynasty to Scipio.
Especially during this journey, after Little Scipio experienced the feeling of Daqin that seemed to have surpassed other countries for several times, his understanding of the importance of marriage became more and more profound.
Once the marriage is successful, Scipio will be able to transform himself from the highest administrator of Rome to a relative of Qin, the world's most powerful country, and even the father-in-law of Ying Yu, the peerless prince.
On the surface, it seems that nothing has changed, except that Scipio married a daughter and his name has become longer, but in fact the benefits brought by this move are simply unimaginable!
Little Scipio and the embassy toured along the way, and the power of the Great Qin can be seen vividly, and the heart has already been shocked to the point where it cannot be added.
With the prosperity and wealth of Great Qin, even if some resources flowed out from their nails, it would probably be enough to feed the whole of Rome for the first half of the year!
Little Scipio even felt that if Daqin wanted to, they were fully capable of conquering all other countries and achieving the feat of truly unifying the world, but because of some reasons he couldn't know, Daqin didn't do it.
Moreover, even if Ying Yu Daqin doesn't give them any help, Ying Yu's name alone is enough to deter countless forces.
Because of the identities of Daqin's relatives and Yingyu's father-in-law, anyone who wants to move them must first weigh himself to see if he can withstand the anger from Daqin and that prince Yingyu!
In this way, everything they do in the future will undoubtedly be much smoother.
For example, Scipio has always wanted to end the deliberation system of the Roman Senate and replace it with the head of state system, making the Scipio family the Roman royal family.
"Your Excellency, I think you are a little too hasty. Marriage is not a matter between two people. It is related to the major issues of future exchanges and development between the two countries. It is understandable that the Great Qin Emperor took a long time to discuss."
The head of the Roman mission said on the sidelines.
"The war in Rome is tense now, and the situation is treacherous and changeable. Every time we stay in Daqin for one more day, Rome may undergo earth-shaking changes. How can you not be impatient?"
Little Scipio could not help sighing.
Before coming to Daqin, the internal situation in Rome was already quite unstable.
In order to revive Rome's economy, his uncle Scipio has decided to implement a new policy, following the example of Great Qin, allowing all members of Rome, no matter nobles or commoners, to pay taxes.
In this way, Scipio will undoubtedly greatly offend the interests of all Roman nobles, especially the oldest and most powerful Corneus family in the Roman Empire.
Scipio himself came from this family. The reason why he was able to become the highest consul in Rome at the beginning was because of the strong support of the Cornelius family. Given by the Nelius family.
But now, in order to implement the new policy, Scipio had to stand on the opposite side of the Cornelius family, and on the opposite side of all the nobles in Rome. The new policy has been promulgated.
Having lost all support, Scipio was alone, let alone the position of the supreme consul, and even his life was difficult to guarantee.
After all, who knows what kind of things those nobles who are glamorous on the surface, but hypocritical and cruel in reality, and only care about their own interests will do to maintain their own interests?
It can be said that for every minute that passes by, Scipio is more dangerous.
And marrying Daqin is Scipio's last hope, and it is also his turning point.
The reason why Scipio sent Sophie and him out of Rome in the name of envoys to Qin before he implemented the new policy was to protect them so that he would not have any worries, and on the other hand, it was a gamble and a big gamble .
If their marriage with Ying Yu succeeds, then needless to say, everything will come to light. If they fail, Scipio will be completely thrown into the abyss, and there will be no chance of recovery.
But as time passed, there was no news from Daqin. How could little Scipio not be anxious?
"Could it be that Daqin didn't intend to marry us from the very beginning, but he didn't reject us face to face because of affection?
Little Scipio suddenly thought of this possibility, and couldn't help but become agitated.
They have already made so lowly a request to marry Daqin, if Sophie can't even marry into the Prince's Mansion in the end, let alone whether they can go back.
Even if they can go back, they will probably be ridiculed by the whole country!
When Sophie next to her heard these words, she couldn't help but thumped in her heart. Thinking that she was rejected by Ying Yu, she was inexplicably flustered.
"Your Excellency, you can rest assured. With Daqin's current status in the world, to put it bluntly, if they really don't want to marry me in Rome, they can refuse in person. They don't need to care about my face at all, and there is no need to use it. Such a despicable means to delay time!"
"Therefore, as long as Daqin seriously considers this matter, it means that the marriage between Rome and Daqin is still very promising."
The head of the Roman mission comforted the crowd.
Da Qin didn't care about Rome's face at all.
This sentence made little Scipio and the other messengers feel a little bit annoyed, but they also knew in their hearts that what they said was indeed the truth.
In this world where the weak prey on the strong, there is no benevolence, righteousness or morality to speak of, and only power can make the world admire.
The strength of Daqin has been obvious to all these days, not to mention their Rome, even if all the countries in the entire Western Region are united, I am afraid that they are not enough to be beaten by others. How could they care about their Rome's face?
While the Roman envoys were waiting anxiously, an official entered the guest house for foreign guests.
Seeing this, little Scipio hurriedly got up to say hello, exchanged a few pleasantries, and looked at the visitor expectantly.
Seeing this, the official cleared his throat and said loudly:
"Your Majesty has a decree. I would like to inherit the kindness of your country and marry Rome with Qin and Jin. Prince Yu and Sophie, the daughter of the Roman Consul, will marry immediately on an auspicious day!"
