Roman Slave Owner

At this moment, a guard walked in.

"General, here are some more Jews who claim to be emissaries of the Pharisees."

"Oh, why are they here?"

Sicanus said excitedly, did he come to support himself?

Aristobulus snorted coldly, his face gloomy.

"Let them in."

Li Wei thought for a while and said.

Soon, a thin old man dressed in black walked in, followed by several Jewish priests.

The skinny old man looked at Li Wei with a hint of arrogance, but the arrogance quickly disappeared.

Li Wei confirmed that he was not mistaken, it was indeed this kind of vision.

With an incomparable understanding of Judaism, he immediately felt angry, a bunch of bastards, do you think you are superior to others? This time I must let you know what it means to be in awe of a powerful country.

Li Wei silently sentenced the Jews to death, but considering that the Arabs would be conquered, he decided to stabilize them first, and then deal with them after the Arabs were dealt with.

"Dear Priest John, how have you grown?"

Sicanus said.

"I have something to ask General Levi."

The skinny old man said with a smile, but there was a trace of pity in his eyes.

"At the beginning I advised you to come with me, but you were still unwilling. You must have worked hard along the way."

Sicanus said with great concern.

John waved his hand, telling him not to speak.

"Dear General Li Wei, I want to ask you for help with one thing."

There was a hint of arrogance in John's tone of respect, which made Li Wei feel even more unhappy, so he looked at him coldly.

"We Pharisees don't think Sicanus is fit to be king of the Jews."

John quickly noticed the change in Li Wei's expression, and the arrogance disappeared immediately, but he bowed deeply.

Sicanus couldn't help being taken aback, but Aristoblus was overjoyed. Could it be that the Pharisees planned to support him, so that he would win.

"why?"

Levi asked.

"Because the Maccabees are not descendants of King David, they simply usurped the throne of the Jews. Only those who have the blood of King David can become the king of the Jews. This is God's will, the only correct truth in this world."

John said with some enthusiasm.

Both Aristobulus and Sicanus looked at John in shock, how could it be like this.

They thought that the Pharisees were just changing their support, but they didn't expect that they would change the entire Maccabean family. This is simply fantastic.

"John, you can't be like this. Our Maccabees family led the Jews to resist the evil rule of Syria and made great contributions to the Jews. We deserve to be kings of the Jews."

Aristobulus said angrily.

"No, you Maccabees just usurped the throne, and you violated the teachings of Judaism. Only King David was blessed by the Lord, but you did not, so you are not worthy to be kings of the Jews."

John said.

This pair of brothers was misunderstood. Their Maccabees family had been the rulers of the Jews for so many years, but they did not expect to be accused by the Pharisees of stealing the throne. These fanatical pious people are really hateful.

So the three quarreled again, and Li Wei watched all this with interest.

It has to be said that the Jews are a religious country, and it is completely justifiable for religions to intervene in politics.

Moreover, the brain circuit of some pious people is completely different from that of ordinary people. Even though Israel is on the verge of subjugation in later generations, some extreme pious factions in the country still refuse to perform military service, believing that military service is against the doctrine, so it is impossible to reason with those fanatics.

The three of them quarreled for a long time without any results, and in the end they had to let Li Wei decide.

Li Wei rolled his eyes, coughed lightly and said, "Well, I'm going to use troops against the Arabs recently, so you keep the peace first, don't fight each other, how about making a judgment for you when I come back?"

The three looked at each other,

He could only nod helplessly in agreement.

Although Li Wei did not favor them, at least he did not help their enemies.

After the three left, Levi began to think about how to deal with the Arabs, and he was not worried about Palestine.

That's the meat around the mouth, it can't escape.

What he didn't know was that after leaving Damascus, Aristoblus immediately returned to Jerusalem in the starry night. Without the support of the Pharisees, his brother's strength would have plummeted.

He happened to take the opportunity to occupy the whole of Palestine. When the time comes, the raw rice will be cooked. What else can Li Wei do except admit that he is the king of the Jews.

In a solemn and solemn palace, Li Wei sat on the throne wearing a silk dress.

A large number of kings are separated on both sides. Today is the day when Li Wei canonize the king, which will determine their future fate.

They all looked at Li Wei with flattering eyes. If kneeling and licking can be exchanged for the throne, I believe many people will not mind doing so.

Li Wei glanced at them lightly, Rome's expansion method has always been to find allies, and when those allies make mistakes, they will annex them.

Then look for more allies, and so on, which is completely different from the East.

To be honest, his way of expansion is a bit radical and does not conform to the traditional way of Rome.

This would destabilize Rome's borders, so he decided to canonize some kings to appease their emotions.

If they dare to rebel, it will be time to wipe them out completely.

"Antioch."

Li Wei picked up a piece of true god paper and said.

Antioch immediately stepped forward and knelt down, then looked at Li Wei expectantly.

"In view of your feats in the process of resisting Armenia, I appoint you as the prince of Syria, and the fiefdom is the city of Antioch and the surrounding five Romanes. You can collect taxes on the city of Antioch, but you must obey the orders of the governor of Syria."

Levi said.

"Thank you, great General Livy. You are the greatest Roman general who ever lived. God bless you."

Antioch said quickly, and kissed Li Wei's shoe tip at the same time.

At this time, his mood was extremely complicated. He was demoted from a king to a prince and had an immediate boss, which made him a little disappointed. But he finally got a fief, and it was Antioch, the royal city of Syria. Probably only he knew what it was like.

"Azina."

Levi said.

At this time, a bearded Arab knelt down and said with a simple and honest face: "The great General Li Wei, Azina accepts the order."

Li Wei glanced at him lightly, he didn't think he was a simple and honest guy.

"In view of your feats in the process of resisting Armenia, I canonize you as the king of Tedmur, and the fief remains unchanged. But you need to obey the orders of the governor of Syria."

Levi said.

"Thank you, the great General Li Wei, you will always be the most respected person in the Taidmoor Kingdom."

Azina couldn't help being overjoyed, and then kissed the toe of Levi's shoe.
