Augustus Road

Chapter 13 Public Enemy (Part 2)

At such a moment, coupled with Antony's attitude, all the Caesarist senators puffed up their cheeks, sat down in fear and anger, and did not dare to make any more noise, while Antony himself leaned on it in a daze. Sitting on the seat, his hands were spread out helplessly and he didn't say a word, but his expression clearly acquiesced to the Senate's decision. ¢£Top¢£Point¢£Small¢£ said,

Then Spinzel and Casca became even more proud. They raised their arms and announced in an unhurried tone, "Then, let me add one more thing, since Lepidus has been pronounced guilty by the specially chosen fathers. , then the previous bronze watch no longer needs to be placed in the temple, we can modify a new one, and everyone does not need to panic, we are just returning the freedom rights of the people and the country, but Caesar listed officials during his lifetime We can still continue to recognize the memorandum for three to five years, step by step, and the Republic will be at peace from now on."

Just after most of the senators applauded happily, who would have thought that Brutus stood up and said loudly, "I object, I hope to form a new motion to save and stop this, while Malulus Before the tribunes set out."

"The Tribunes of Malulus have already set off, Brutus." Casca, who seemed to have been prepared, said with a sneer.

"It is extremely illegal for you to ask the tribune to handle this matter, because the power of the tribune is limited to one mile around the city. What power does he have to summon a provincial administrator who has already accepted the appointment?"

"We have used Caesar's appointment note during his lifetime to temporarily appoint Malulus as the legal officer of the capital." Spinzel held up the note, "It also has Julius's seal on it."

There was an uproar on the field. Especially the elders of the Caesar faction. They stared angrily at the note in Spinzer's hand. But the content of the appointment was clearly engraved on it, indicating that it was jointly decided by Julius Caesar and many Tebris clans, and the seal was also very impressive.

Then, everyone's eyes turned to Antony, whose face turned blue, because everyone knew that Caesar's real estate, deeds, documents and seals were all handed over to him by Corpunia after his death. Now this The appearance of the appointment note. It is tantamount to exposing Anthony's betrayal.

"If you want to fight against dictatorships and tyrants, don't use the same methods as them. That will only push our beloved republic into the infinite abyss. I hate you, I curse you, and I stand with you under the same banner for myself. I felt endless humiliation." Brutus also became excited. He jumped down from his seat and quickly got into a group with other senators and retinues who rushed up. "The Republic is over, the Republic is over!" He laughed and cried. With. Until he was beaten to a bloody head and dragged out.

Wait until most people in the auditorium have dispersed. Several core figures were still sitting on the seats with unfinished content. At this time, Aetius also appeared on the porch with a strange and proud smile, and then walked up to his seat amidst applause. He repeatedly said to himself, "Perfect, so perfect. Just like Hannibal and Scipio during the Punic Wars, we successfully killed the enemy with one blow."

"He first asked the herald to defraud Lepidus' seal document, then found a craftsman to tamper with it, and dispatched the sixth legion to the Lucania area in advance, and then ordered the rest of his legions on the other side of the ocean to quickly assemble towards Brindisi. In this way, only Antony's five legions were left around the city of Rome, which was equivalent to eliminating Lepidus' armies." Aetius started.

Casca then went on to say, "Then he took advantage of the time difference and first lied about the Dacian invasion on the border, asked Lepidus to urgently go to the province to take up his post, transferred him away from Rome, and then met with the real Dacian envoy. , convicted him of illegal war crimes, and dealt with him before he came into contact with his own army. "

"Then I'll give that idiot Anthony a few hats, and I'll find the right time to eradicate him." Spinzel stroked his ring and began to think about his next move, "Just instigate him and Shannan Gao Lu's Deximos can kill each other, and we can clean up the situation after both sides are defeated. Anyway, these two and Lepidus are equally disgusting in my eyes. "

The high priest, Merut, was always standing by, like a primary school student studying, constantly opening his eyes in surprise, applauding and applauding.

At this time, there was sudden slight applause from the corner. Everyone was frightened and turned around to look. Only then did they realize that Cicero had stayed where he was and had not left. Then Cicero spoke with that sarcasm In a tone of voice, he said, "Your plan is really as perfect and impeccable as when you assassinated Caesar. Now you only have one problem left, which is to hunt down Lepidus."

"You said unnecessary nonsense, orator. I repeat again, Malulus is on his way." Casca couldn't help but cursed. He disliked this old man from the countryside who spoke in a weird way.

"You just send a stupid pirate from Silesia to capture a giant, ever-changing Dacian dragon in the Uxing Sea. It's a prudent and good plan. Gentlemen - Goodbye, I think we will meet again "Cicero then stood up and walked out of the auditorium, and it seemed that he could still hear his disdainful laughter.

"Asshole, ignore him and Brutus, our plan is absolutely perfect, just follow the steps and proceed smoothly!" These words were said by Aetius, who used to be close friends with Cicero, but now they are drifting apart because of their different ideas. In his eyes, Cicero is now a complete coward.

When Antony walked out of the Julia Hall, he saw Pansa and Hegius glaring at him on the steps, "If this is not a sacred temple, not a hall built by Julius to commemorate the soul of his daughter, I should spit on your face, Antony, you despicable traitor."

"Two consuls next year, are you still dissatisfied with what I have done? Everyone just needs to take care of themselves. This is just a matter between me and Lepidus, and has nothing to do with others. Besides, I just didn't speak in the meeting just now, but idiots understand that actions are always more effective than words, right." Antony didn't look at the two, but didn't know what to say.

"You bastard traitor, let's put aside the injustice of Lepidus for now. Are you and your five legions going to become accomplices of the Senate? Are you really going to avenge Caesar?" Pansa's eyes widened, and he was about to grab Antony's sleeve. (Want to know more exciting updates of "The Road to Augustus"?
