Only in this way can a country, under the leadership of the emperor, become strong and prosperous…

A Confucian scholar nearing seventy years old also eloquently instilled his adherence to traditional ideas into Kang Maode.

"What this gentleman says is true. The emperor is the most honorable person in a country, and no one should disobey or oppose him."

Kang Maode wholeheartedly agreed with the Confucian scholar's words.

At this moment, in his mind, Rome should promote Confucianism, a doctrine of morality and ethics, as soon as possible, while completely abandoning its native philosophical culture.

After all, during this period, the ideas of traditional Confucianism and the centralized system of power established by Qin Shi Huang were temptations that no ambitious person could resist.

Whether it was Marcus Aurelius or Commodus, they naturally wanted to be like the Han Dynasty's imperial family, to take all of Rome as their own territory, and to pass the imperial position from father to son, from son to grandson, generation after generation.

After the banquet, Commodus rushed to the palace that very night and recounted his experiences to Marcus Aurelius in detail.

"Father, these scholars from the Han Dynasty are very important to us. I am certain that with their help, our family will surely become a true supreme ruler, just like the emperor of the Han Dynasty!"

Kang Maode also looked at his father with anticipation, his eyes full of longing.

"Ahem~, my son is right. The ideas of Confucian scholars are indeed more beneficial to us, but the Senate will certainly not agree to promote their doctrines."

Marcus Aurelius coughed, acknowledging his son's statement while casting a meaningful glance, wanting to see how his son would handle the situation.
