Watching Charles exit the hall, civil and military officials immediately "whispered to each other", and the hall suddenly buzzed like tens of thousands of mosquitoes flying in.

Among the ministers present, only a few remained calm and their faces were very calm.

"Guo Qing, what are you laughing at?"

Wu Shun was on the throne and saw Guo Jia smiling.

"Your Majesty, I am not laughing at the cleverness of the Romans." Guo Jia said.

"Oh? The Romans are smart, how do you say this?" Wu Shun asked.

To be honest, he didn't think the Romans were shrewd.

"Emperor, our Shu Kingdom has opened up a trade route on land and also opened up a trade route on sea. Both trade routes can lead directly to Rome. If the Romans wanted to form an alliance, why didn't they come early? But at this time?" Guo Jia expressed his doubts in public. At the same time, his doubts also proved the sincerity of the Romans, which was not as strong as Charles said.

The Romans suddenly came to form an alliance from thousands of miles away, and there must be a reason for this.

"Mr. Guo said it well. You must figure out the true intentions of the Romans, otherwise you cannot form an alliance." Fa Zheng said.

Such a big empire cannot be used as a gun for people at will.

The ministers said everything they said, most of them did not agree to alliances. Originally, Wu Shun was not interested in alliances, but Charles's words changed his mind.

Charles said that Rome could help the Central Plains attack other countries, which is a rare opportunity to enhance national strength and cultural exports and should not be missed easily.

"My dear, tell me what the reason for the Roman alliance is. If it is within the scope of acceptance, alliance will also be beneficial to our Shu Kingdom." Wu Shun said.

The two huge countries of the East and the West join hands, and the soldiers shocked the world! Because these two countries are the most powerful people in their respective regions, and the united forces are enough to wipe out all unsatisfied voices.

As soon as Wu Shun finished speaking, Jia Xu went out and said: "Emperor, according to the information sent back by the secret guards, the forces of the various principalities in Rome were in conflict with each other and were in chaos. The western part of Rome was even more chaotic by barbarians headed by the Germans. Because of the turbulent domestic situation, the battlefields in the western region suffered one after another. In the east, the seasonal looting of the Persians also made Rome miserable."

"Your Majesty, if what Lord Jia Xu said is true, then the Romans sent people here this time, most of the time they wanted to seek powerful allies to help them overcome difficulties." Zhuge Liang said out.

"Is they internal and external troubles in Rome?"

Wu Shun analyzed: "The Romans came to form an alliance because they saw that the Persians had a feud with our Central Plains, and wanted to win over an ally and defeat Persia together. In my opinion, Rome's internal and external troubles improved under the iron fist of their monarch Diocletian, but their strength was not enough to fight at the same time on both east and west. Therefore, they wanted our Shu Kingdom to increase the pressure on the Persians. They would concentrate their troops and destroy the Germans in the west."

"The emperor's analysis is reasonable. It will be beneficial to the Central Plains to make friends with Rome, an ally! I believe that we should agree to the Romans' request for alliance."

Pang Tong came out and said.

"Shi Yuan, tell me your reasons."

Wu Shun said.

If you don’t form an alliance, there are reasons for not forming an alliance. Of course, it must have visible benefits. There are only two words that are particular about - interests!

"The emperor, the end of the two trade routes, sea and land, is Rome. Their nobles like tea, pottery, silk, paper and other items in the Central Plains very much. If they form an alliance with Rome, from these two trade routes, the Central Plains can communicate with them and gain great benefits. In military terms, Rome is also a powerful country. To form an alliance with them will help expand the territory!" Pang Tong said.

After listening to Pang Tong's explanation from two aspects, the ministers nodded slightly. There were indeed so many benefits to forming an alliance with Rome.

Speaking of expanding territory, every emperor and general is keen on. Wu Shun has seen the bright eyes of the military officers!

"Shi Yuan, you said it's good. It's good to form an alliance with Rome and it can promote ourselves. So tomorrow we will be told that Charles will enter the palace and agree on the details of the alliance with him." Wu Shun said.

"Let's wait!"

Xu Shu took the lead and said one sentence to slow, which attracted everyone's attention.

The emperor has made a decision. What is Lord Xu Shu trying to advise?

"Yuanzhi, do you have different opinions?"

Seeing Xu Shu stand up, Wu asked.

"When I go back to the emperor, I am not disagreeing. It's just that Lord Pang Tong just mentioned the benefits of alliances, but not the disadvantages."

Xu Shu said.

A thing always has its two sides. When making decisions, you should not be too one-sided. Especially as the lord of the Central Plains, Wu Shun should be more cautious in his decisions.

"The disadvantages? I didn't mention it just now. Let me tell you what the disadvantages may be of alliance with Rome?" Wu Shun said.

Just now, my head became hot and I made a decision, but I didn’t consider it in detail. Fortunately, Xu Shu reminded me.

"Emperor, the West, where the Roman Empire dominates the world, can be regarded as the two poles of the world with the Central Plains. The biggest possibility is that it will cause unity or alliance between other countries to resist the pressure brought by the two poles! In the East, countries or forces outside the Central Plains may be connected to each other and resist the possible annexation war initiated by the Central Plains. This situation has caused panic around the Central Plains, which is not conducive to the spread of our Central Plains civilization."

Pause.

Xu Shu immediately added:

"Also, our Central Plains has always only owned vassal states. When will we alliate with other countries?"

"Yes, most of the countries around us are affiliated with us, and we have to pay tribute regularly every year."

"With our great power in the Central Plains, why do we need allies?"

"Even if not an alliance, the Romans still needed our goods. Their nobles were used to drinking our tea and wearing our silk..."

"The Romans formed an alliance just to use our strength to oppress his enemies. This is to regard our Central Plains as a weapon in their hands."

After listening to Xu Shu's analysis, the ministers started a discussion. Xu Shu said that it was important to only accept vassal states and never formed an alliance, which undoubtedly aroused everyone's superior pride.

The Central Plains are so powerful that it only takes another legion to destroy Persia, and it doesn’t take much effort to destroy it.

...

...

"My ministers, Rome wants to form an alliance with us, do you agree or not?" Wu Shun asked after the discussion below gradually became much smaller.

"Return to the emperor, I think there is no need to form an alliance! If the Roman Empire is willing to become an affiliate of the Central Plains and surrender, we can send troops to help."

Xu Shu said out of the room.

"The Romans had the arrogance of the Romans. They once dominated the West and were extremely powerful! It was impossible for them to be subordinates."

Wu Shun said.
