Roman Empire
Zhang Liang looked at the Roman Empire in the far west of the world, took a deep breath, and said solemnly,""Your Majesty, the lake in this country is not a lake, but an inland sea called the Mediterranean Sea.”
"The Mediterranean Sea? Zhang Liang, let me ask you, what is the name of this country? How is it compared to Great Qin? How did they surround the Mediterranean Sea?”Qin Shihuang, Ying Zheng, looked at Rome with a burning gaze and said. He had a feeling that he might have an opponent in this country.
Zhang Liang took a step forward and said," Your Majesty, this country is called the Roman Empire. Its overall strength is not inferior to Great Qin, and it can even be said that it is superior to Great Qin in some aspects.”
Zhang Liang's words immediately caused a huge commotion. Great Qin had just conquered the six Shandong countries and had not fully digested the fruits of victory. However, even so, Great Qin's overall national strength had doubled. If not for Zhang Liang's appearance today, Emperor Qin and many of Great Qin's ministers would have been discussing how to distribute the fruits of victory.
However, Zhang Liang said that the Roman Empire, which was located in the far west, was not weaker than Great Qin in terms of overall strength. In fact, it was even stronger than Great Qin in some areas. This shocked the Ministers who had personally witnessed Great Qin unify the six countries in Shandong.
"Alright, one of them is not weaker than Great Qin. Zhang Liang, tell us about Rome.”Qin Shihuang, Ying Zheng, had an intuition that he would soon have an opponent.
"Yes, Your Majesty." Zhang Liang said excitedly.
Zhang Liang couldn't help but be excited. The netizens were discussing whether Great Qin or Rome was stronger or weaker. It was very likely that his words would determine who was stronger or weaker.
"The Roman Empire is centered on the Mediterranean Sea. It is a vast map with a land area of about five million mu and a population of about sixty-five million.”
"The Roman Empire is jointly ruled by the emperor and the nobles. The two sides compete for power and interests, and there are even assassinations.”
"Hiss, assassination?" Some of the officials gasped, interrupting Zhang Liang's explanation. However, neither Zhang Liang nor Qin Shihuang Ying Zheng paid any attention to them.
"The current emperor of the Roman Empire is Alexander the Great. It was this Alexander the Great who led an army from the far west to carry out an eastern expedition.”
"The army he led only consisted of 30,000 infantry, 5,000 cavalry, 160 warships, and 100,000 auxiliary soldiers. A total of 140,000 troops fought all the way from the Roman Empire in the Far West to here, the Himalayas.”
" Because the Himalayas are so tall, Alexander the Great thought that he had conquered the world and fought to the edge of the world.”
"What Alexander the Great doesn't know is that on the other side of the Himalayas is the Great Qin Empire.”
After hearing Zhang Liang mention Alexander the Great, Emperor Ying Zheng stepped down from his throne and came to the front of 'The World', saying in a low voice,""Eastern expedition?"
"Perhaps you, Alexander, are my opponent. This time, I'll consider you to have won by half a step, but in the future, I will personally lead the army to conquer Rome.”Emperor Ying Zheng thought to himself and looked towards the west where the Far West was located.
At the same time, Alexander the Great, who had returned to the Roman Empire, seemed to have sensed something. He looked up at the east that he thought he had conquered.
In the sky, a black divine dragon hovered in the sky and roared towards the west. Emperor Qin, Ying Zheng, also saw an eagle flapping its wings and screeching. Just like that, the two great monarchs in the history of the East and the West engaged in a battle that transcended time and space.
"Zhang Liang, are there any more?" Qin Shi Huang asked.
"I'm sorry, Your Majesty, but the Roman Empire is too far away from Great Qin. I only have this information, and I'm unable to do anything else.”Zhang Liang sighed.
Zhao Gao, who was standing at the side, stepped forward and said,"Your Majesty, I feel that this Zhang Liang is definitely deceiving Your Majesty.”
"Oh, tell me, how did Zhang Liang lie to me?”Qin Shi Huang, Ying Zheng, said with great interest.
"Your Majesty, let's not talk about whether the 36 countries in the Western Regions that Zhang Liang mentioned just now exist. Even the Peacock Empire, which is adjacent to Great Qin, can be investigated by sending a team. However, Rome, which is located in the Far West…Whether the Roman Empire really existed or not, this was something that could not be investigated in a short period of time. I suggest that you hand Zhang Liang over to me and let me interrogate him properly. I'm sure I can investigate him clearly.”Zhao Gao said.
"Is that so? No need. Just like you said, apart from Rome, which is located in the Far West, the other places, whether it's the Peacock Empire or the 36 countries of the Western Regions, can be investigated with a little time. When the time comes, we'll know if he's lying to me.”Qin Shi Huang, Ying Zheng, said," As for Rome in the Far West, hehe, there's no need for that. I just saw it.”
"Look…Did you see it?" Zhao Gao was surprised. That was a country located in the Far West. How did His Majesty see it?
Qin Shi Huang turned to look at Zhang Liang. He found that Zhang Liang was not panicking at all, and was rather calm and collected. This made Qin Shi Huang very interested in Zhang Liang.
"Zhang Liang, I've seen the 'world' that you've offered to Great Qin. Great Qin is very particular about rewards and punishments. Now, it's time to reward you. Tell me, what do you want?”
"Your Majesty, this commoner is not only offering the 'world' to Your Majesty for a reward. Please retract your order.”Zhang Liang refused.
"Withdraw? That was impossible. The foundation of the Great Qin Empire was to reward those who contributed and punish those who committed mistakes. You, Zhang Liang, have contributed greatly to Great Qin, so how can you not reward me? Think carefully about what you want me to reward you with.”Qin Shihuang, Ying Zheng, disagreed.
According to the laws of Great Qin, only those who had contributed to Great Qin would be rewarded. The 'world' that Zhang Liang had offered could be said to have contributed greatly to Great Qin, so how could Qin Shihuang Ying Zheng not reward them?
Zhang Liang lowered his head and pondered. He was thinking about how he should ask for a reward from Qin Shihuang, Ying Zheng. It should be known that Zhang Liang had offered the 'world' this time with the intention of giving a reward. How could he not want it?
Just as Zhang Liang was thinking about what kind of reward he should ask for from Qin Shihuang, a young eunuch walked into the main hall and whispered to Zhao Gao before leaving.
After hearing the young eunuch's words, Zhao Gao looked at Zhang Liang in surprise and thought to himself,""Zhang Liang, you're dead this time."
If one were to ask why Zhao Gao hated Zhang Liang, it was because he was the teacher of Huhai, the eighteenth son of the Qin Dynasty. As soon as Zhang Liang arrived in the main hall, he had made Huhai lose the opportunity to attend court affairs in the future. Therefore, Zhao Gao wished that Zhang Liang would die.
After Zhao Gao investigated Zhang Liang's background, he did not expect Zhang Liang's background to be so shocking.
