Chapter 591
If it was in the past, Scipio had indeed had unfavorable thoughts about Daqin.
At the beginning, Scipio wanted to dispel Daqin's wariness of Rome by marrying Daqin.
At the same time, with the help of Qin's prestige, he implemented his own new policy in Rome, making Rome stronger again.
Then turn around to deal with Daqin and complete the goal of realizing the great revival of Rome.
However, ever since Scipio learned about the strength of Great Qin in the letter between Little Scipio and Princess Sophie, and recognized the gap between Rome and Great Qin in every aspect, Scipio's heart was broken immediately. The idea of wanting to be unfavorable to Daqin.
Even now, all he is thinking about is how to make Rome and Great Qin have a good relationship, how to keep it as much as possible in the future when Great Qin conquers Rome, or how to protect all the subjects of Rome.
But now that Rome is being attacked fiercely by Hannibal's Carthage army, more than a dozen cities are in danger, and even the capital of Rome is at risk of being destroyed.
In such a critical situation, Scipio was even more afraid to plot against Da Qin. After all, he knew very well that if he wanted to rely on the remaining defeated soldiers, he would definitely not be able to stop Hannibal's attack.
Now the only way to preserve Scipio and the Roman state is to ask Daqin for assistance.
Not to mention setting a trap for Daqin, Scipio thought day and night that Daqin's reinforcements would arrive as soon as possible, so that Rome could escape the current crisis.
"What Meng Shangqing said is that I didn't consider the matter carefully and thoughtfully enough, and made a wrong statement. Please forgive me."
A look of shame appeared on Yao Jia's face, and he quickly bowed to apologize.
"I forgive you this time, but you have to remember that the next time you speak, you have to think carefully in your mind before speaking. Since the prince has married Princess Sophie of Rome into the door, Scipio will no longer speak." Not only is it the highest executive in Rome, but also the in-laws of the prince's father-in-law, and the relatives of Daqin."
"In the absence of evidence, we must not make random guesses like today."
Ying Zheng had a peaceful face at first, but when he said the last sentence, he suddenly became serious, and there was a strong warning in his words.
After all, when Yao Jia’s conspiracy theory was uttered just now, although the ministers in the court did not express their attitude clearly, it was obvious that they had already decided in their minds whether Daqin should respond to Scipio’s request and lead an army to aid Rome. A disagreement arose.
If all the ministers really believed that Scipio asked Daqin for help in order to design a trap to deal with Daqin, and wrote a letter to Yingzheng to persuade him to give up the rescue operation for Rome, that is not what Yingzheng wanted to see.
After all, only when Rome asks Great Qin for help, can Yingzheng be able to justifiably send the Great Qin army to Rome, and use this to expand Qin's influence in Rome and allow Great Qin to take root in Rome.
The reason why Ying Zheng supported Ying Yu to marry Sophie at the beginning was not only for the purpose of being a father, hoping that Ying Yu would inherit the family, but also because he wanted to use this to shorten the relationship between Daqin and Rome, so as to prepare for Daqin's future annexation and capture. Rome prepares.
Faced with the advice of the ministers, Yingzheng, as the supreme emperor, can certainly overcome all opinions and continue to insist on his own views, but this will inevitably damage Yingzheng's reputation.
But if their advice is adopted, a great opportunity to promote the integration of Great Qin into Rome will be lost.
No matter which side you choose, it will cause losses to Yingzheng and Daqin. This is why Yingzheng was a little angry when he heard Yao Jia's conspiracy theory speculation about Scipio.
After all, Yao Jia was an old man in court, and after hearing the second half of Ying Zheng's words, he didn't know that he had said something wrong and angered Ying Zheng.
After realizing this, Yao Jia broke out in a cold sweat for a moment, and he hurriedly said in fright:
"Your Majesty, I know I made a mistake. I will definitely learn my lesson next time and never make such a mistake again!"
After finishing speaking, he immediately bowed his body and lowered his posture so low that his head was almost buried in the floor.
"Excuse me, I hope you can take it as a warning, use your brains more when you encounter problems, and don't make random guesses."
Seeing Yao Jia's fearful expression below, Ying Zheng, who was sitting upright, waved his hand, not really planning to argue with him.
"Your Majesty's teachings must be remembered by the ministers."
And the ministers in the court who were afraid of harming Chiyu couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and quickly answered.
Don't look at Ying Zheng's smiling face every day, he looks amiable, no different from ordinary civilians outside, but this is just because Ying Yu is there, and Ying Zheng doesn't need to worry about everything.
When Ying Yu was still cowardly and mediocre and hadn't yet risen, Ying Zheng was known for his decisiveness in killing, but he would never hold back anyone who hindered Da Qin's great achievements. These ministers in the court can clearly remember what happened in the hall.
"Very well, since that's the case, then let's stop this matter. The most urgent thing now is to consider how to deal with Scipio's request for help from Daqin."
Ying Zheng looked around, then spoke slowly.
"Father, although Rome says that it has frequent and close trade with us, Daqin, even most of the commodities in their markets are 'Made in Daqin'."
"But that's all. In fact, because the road between Daqin and Rome is too far away, my Daqin's influence on Rome in all aspects is not deep, and it is not even as good as Carthage next door. This is obviously not good for me. After the Great Qin conquered and annexed Rome in the future, it governed Rome."
"And now the request letter sent by Scipio is undoubtedly a great opportunity for us to send the Great Qin army to Rome, open the gates of Rome, and deepen our influence on Rome."
"Furthermore, Rome is my Great Qin's country of in-laws. Now that they have been invaded by foreign enemies and want to ask for my Great Qin's help, then my Great Qin really cannot stand idly by."
"Because of emotion and reason, I, Da Qin, can't stand by and watch, so I suggest sending troops."
