v9 Chapter 41： Jealousy of athens

"So who won the debate in the end?" Lucia asked curiously.

Plato said calmly: "You are more familiar with Isocratic. You should know that Isocratic is hoarse and is better at writing than speaking, so he sent students to argue, and of course I let Spiecips Challenge ...

Judging from the outcome of the debate, we should have won, but from the perspective of subsequent developments, this has not cleared the doubts of the Athenians about your Dionysians, but has increased the fear of Dionysians. Socrates has achieved his goal ... "

"In the past two years, Athens has been somewhat alienated from Dionia. What is the reason? Is it just because Dionia is more powerful?" Ansitanos asked.

"There are multiple reasons," Plato thought, "... Dionia, although not involved in Greek mainland these years, has long signed friendly agreements with Sparta, but refused to fight in two wars (the Corinth War and the The subsequent Thebes war) entered into alliances with Athens and Thebes, which made the Athenians somewhat vigilant; more importantly, in recent years, Athens ’s maritime trade has encountered competition from Dionia, some of the same type of goods, Although the quality is almost the same, Dionys offers more quantities and lower prices, which has caused Athens to lose some traditional city-state markets, such as Cyrenaica and Crete, which has also caused many Athenian merchants and expatriates to live in Athens. The merchants are full of vigilance. With their encouragement and support, the Athens Citizens Congress also passed a resolution the previous year, 'City states joining the Athens-led maritime alliance must not allow Dayonian goods to enter the city state market for sale ...' "

"I know this, our Minister of Commerce Mariji also angrily suggested to Her Majesty, asking her messenger to protest to Athens, and to take the same measures to counteract, but Her Majesty did not agree ..." Ansitanos lamented Said.

"There is another reason." Plato looked at Davers who was listening: "At that time, Pericles called on the Greek city-states to build the city of Turui. The original hope was that this sub-state of Athens would become a pivotal part of the Greater Western Greece. The power of Athens increased the influence of Athens. This goal was not achieved because of the decline of Athens due to the Peloponnesian War. Today, Turui has become the center of the Kingdom of Dionia and the western Mediterranean. Center, I'm afraid that some Athenian elites who want to restore the glory of Pericles' time have a grudge in their hearts ... "

"I don't care if Athens is wary of Dionysian." At this point, Daphs said, with a scrutiny eye, watching Plato's reaction: "I just want to know Plato what you think of Dionysian Is it a threat to Athens? "

"Dear King Daphs," Plato said frankly, "I was a little confused after the debate with Isocrate, so this time I took a serious walk around the Kingdom of Dionia, what I saw , What I heard ... confirmed the thought in my mind that the Kingdom of Dionia is not a threat to Athens, but rather the hope of Athens and even all Greek city-states! "

Plato's answer was somewhat unexpected from Davers. He asked in surprise, "Why?"

Plato replied with a serious expression: "Greece has a narrow land area, a small mountainous area, and poor land. It is difficult to survive. The city states on that land also serve their own interests. For decades, the war has continued, the people have been exiled, and the land is barren If this continues, the city-states will eventually die out ...

It now seems that if this terrible situation is to end completely, a very powerful force must be involved in order to force Athens, Sparta, Thebes, Corinth and other city-states to settle themselves and not dare to dispute again, and peace will come .

Persia cannot. It wants Greece to perish even more. Only Dionia, you will treat the Greek city-states as equally as the Samonas and Romans, and you may even build a flat road between the Greek mountains and mountains, so that the trade between the city-states Land and sea are more free and convenient, so that the people of the city-states can enjoy and live in peace under the order established by Dionia, and enjoy a happier life ... "

Plato's increasingly heated voice echoed in the palace. Ansitanos and Lucia looked at each other. They did not expect that Plato had such great expectations for Dionia. It both excited them and did not know what to do. Respond and look at Davers together.

Davers tapped his finger on the table, while listening carefully, there were no obvious mood swings on his face. When Plato finished speaking, he smiled and said seriously: "For Greek mainland, Dionia has no plans to interfere with his political situation."

"I understand," Plato said in a thoughtful manner. "I just hope that I can see long-term peace in the Greek mainland during my lifetime!"

Afterwards, everyone at the banquet tacitly stopped talking about it, but talked about other topics.

At the end of the banquet, when Davos personally sent Plato out of the palace, Plato whispered slightly, "Dear King Daphs, I remember that you once accepted the employment of the Prince of Persia, Cyrus, and went to Persia. The Persian royal family In order to fight for the throne, fight each other, and cause political turmoil, you must have been deeply impressed ... Well, when I returned to Turui, I heard a lot of praises for Prince Apox, and Alcibida I have sincerely invited me to dinner, but I refused ... "

"Oh." Daphs answered quietly, without speaking.

After sending away Plato's apprentices, he returned to the palace and called Aristilas: "Tomorrow you go to the military department to inform Alexis that the order for warships at Alcibedas will be suspended."

"Yes." Aristilas responded immediately without asking.

Davers went on to say, "If Arcibidas wanted to ask the military department why, you let Alexis answer, and I said," Since he doesn't want to concentrate on his business, don't do.'"

……………………………………

A few days later, Davers, who had returned to the mansion, was sitting in the study, thinking about daytime affairs, and knocking on the door.

"It's Apox, come in quickly!" Davers smiled kindly.

Apox calmly sat down opposite Davers.

Davers looked closely at his second son: only 17-year-old Apox was taller, slender, and more inherited from Agnes. He was very handsome, but his eyebrows were filled with confidence and vigor. .

"Father, I found me today, and he told me." Abbex said straight away.

Davers blinked and asked in a calm tone: "Oh, what did he say?"

Apox didn't respond directly, but said loudly, "Father, I remember you told me that a great scholar is easier to be remembered by posterity than a king."

"Yes, I said it. Everyone knows Miletus Thales is a sage, but no one remembers who was the governor of Miletus at the time ..."

"Father," Apox said sincerely, "I'm not interested in the throne of Dionia. I'm only interested in learning knowledge and research! I just hope that in the future I can have more ideas and benefit me. For the people, they can be admired by future generations! In this regard, I can swear to Hades! "

Appox said with a look of excitement, raising his hands.

Davers held his shoulder firmly, looked at him lovingly, and said softly, "Good boy, you have grown up when I was young, and of course I know what you want! This time for Alcibida Si ’s small punishment is just angry that he interferes with your studies and destroys the deep relationship between you and your elder brother! You can rest assured that I not only respect your choice, but also give my full support to you, I hope you will become a A greater scholar than Thales, shines the entire history of human culture! "

"Thank my father, I will work hard!" Apox was enthusiastically said by Davers. He finally calmed down his excitement and hesitated for a while before he said, "Father ... I have another request."

"Say, what request?" Davers smiled.

Apox scratched his head, and his expression became twisted: "I want to ... I want to marry Nelia!"

"Who is Nelia?" Davers pretended to be surprised.

"... the daughter of former Tier 4 naval leader Miltias, a classmate of Yunis." Appox drew courage and finished.

"Oh ... have you discussed with your mother?"

"Father, I always go to my mother to talk to me during this time, so I hope to get your consent first!"

"Will that Nelia agree with your proposal?"

"She will agree!"

"Well, I agree ~ www.novelhall.com ~ We will have a wedding when you're an adult." Daphs said with a serious expression and a clear word.

"Thank you!" Apox excitedly gave Daphs a strong hug.

Daphs smiled and patted his son's young child's shoulders, but sighed in his heart: the children are all old, one by one, they are going to get married and have children, but they are already getting old ...

"Sir, the crater will arrive soon." The captain entered the cabin and said to Haka, who was resting.

"I see." Haka slowly turned and sat up, then put on a thick leather robe, stood up, and said to Hasdruba, who was still drinking with his head down, "Brother, let's take a look outside?"

"I won't go!" Hasdrupa answered stiffly.

Haka knew his temper and stopped persuading, and slowly walked out of the cabin with the help of his servant.
