I have three hundred soldiers, all of whom can warm wine and kill Hua Xiong

Perhaps it was because the rise of China took away most of Rome's national destiny.

In short, things have been going badly for the Roman Empire in recent times.

Severus wanted to reform, but met resistance from Gervas.

A great battle broke out in the palace, although Severus won the final victory.

But the imperial power of Rome suffered further blows.

Coupled with the heavy taxes imposed by Rome before, there are now undercurrents surging throughout Rome.

The plague brought to Rome by the Parthians happened to be the first to infect Severus.

Because he didn't pay attention at the beginning, by the time Severus finally felt scared, he already had major problems with his body functions.

And Gaia, the miracle doctor, saved countless people in Rome before.

But the gods did not protect Gaia.

When Severus' people found Gaia, the old Gaia had just completed the last journey of her life.

"Cough, cough, cough!"

Severus in the Roman Palace coughed violently several times, then opened his mouth and spit out a large mouthful of blood.

After a while, Severus leaned on the bed and looked at the doctor waiting beside him with wandering eyes.

"How is the situation in Rome recently?"

After hearing Severus' words, the doctor stretched out his hand to wipe the cold sweat from his forehead and said: "Your Majesty, the situation in Rome is a bit bad. According to our statistics, 3 people have died in Rome in just half a month. Multiple people.”

"More than 3 people?"

Severus was slightly shocked.

More than 3 people died in just one month. This plague was indeed more severe than the Antonine Plague more than 20 years ago.

"In addition to the city of Rome, similar symptoms have been found in other cities close to Rome."

"Do you have a way to deal with it?"

The doctor thought for a moment and finally shook his head slightly.

"Your Majesty, a dozen other doctors and I have hardly had any rest recently. We have been constantly preparing medicines, but we still haven't found a way to contain the plague."

Seeing Severus suddenly frowning, the doctor was afraid and quickly added.

"Of course there is a way, that is to order all the people to stay at home. As long as the people do not move around each other, the spread of the plague can be effectively cut off. If this continues for several months, the plague will almost disappear."

"I'm afraid it won't work."

Severus waved his hand weakly, "The people are all staying at home. What do they eat and drink? Rome is currently suffering from internal and external troubles, and the people are all hiding at home. How can Rome still function?"

Severus had many things to think about.

The people were hiding in their homes, eating, drinking, and eating, and they must have needed subsidies from the Roman government.

Now, Rome's finances were about to collapse.

If Severus wanted to feed his army, he had to collect excessive taxes. He had no money at all to feed the people of Rome.

Without waiting for the doctor to answer, Severus continued to ask: "How is my condition?"

After hearing Severus' words, the doctor's body shook nervously twice. Following the doctor, he adjusted his mood and hurriedly whispered to Severus: "Your Majesty's body is currently recovering rapidly. As long as your Majesty rests well and takes good medicine, your Majesty will definitely recover as before!"

The doctor's words did not make Severu feel happy.

Because Severus still has some understanding of his body.

Severus felt that he was almost exhausted.

The more the doctor deceived Severus, the more intensely uneasy he felt.

Sighing softly, Severus wanted to speak, but he heard a rush of footsteps outside the door.

After a while, the commander of the Guards stepped into Severus' bedroom.

"Your Majesty, I have something very important to report to you!"

After glancing at the commander of the Guards, Severus asked, "What's the matter?"

"The things I want to report are related to Prince Caracalla and Geta."

Seeing that the Guards officer was hesitant to speak, Severus felt vaguely uneasy in his heart.

After a moment of silence, Severus waved his hand to the doctor.

When the doctor saw this, he breathed a secret sigh of relief and quickly left the room.

As soon as the doctor left, Severus asked the commander of the Guards: "Now that there are no outsiders here, tell me if there is a conflict between Caracalla and Geta."

"Your Majesty is wise!"

The commander of the Guards bowed to Severus, and then said: "Caracalla and Geta not long ago led their respective legions and quietly returned to the city of Rome at almost the same time."

"Not long ago today, a bloody conflict broke out between them. The soldiers under Caracalla and Gaia combined, at least more than 1000 people died because of this bloody conflict."

After listening to the words of the Guards Commander, Severus couldn't help but raise his fist and hit the edge of the bed hard.

"I knew there was a conflict between Gaia and Caracalla. They didn't love each other like other brothers. But I didn't expect that they were already fighting for power in the city of Rome before I was dead."

Why did Caracalla and Gaia secretly lead their troops back to Rome?

Their purpose was not to see Severus die, but to wait until Severus died and then immediately stand up to take control of the city of Rome and replace Severus as the emperor of Rome.

For power, the brothers turned against each other and even fought in the city of Rome.

This made Severus particularly disappointed with Caracalla and Geta.

The Guards officer glanced at Severus and quietly moved his hand to the hilt of the sword.

"Your Majesty, I hope you can think of a way to prevent something like this from happening again. The fight between the two princes has plunged the city of Rome into great chaos."

Hearing these words from the Guards Commander, Severus slowly came back to his senses.

"Are you teaching me how to do things?"

"Your Majesty has misunderstood. I just represent the people of Rome and hope that your Majesty can handle his family affairs as soon as possible."

This time, without waiting for Severus to answer, the commander of the Guards whispered from the side: "Your Majesty, it's time for you to finalize a successor. Only by finalizing a successor, Gaia and Caracalla will not continue to fight for the throne."

Severus snorted coldly, and in his heart he had already sentenced the leader of the Guards to death.

"Do you think I should appoint Caracalla or Gaia?"

This time the Guards commander did not answer, but clapped his hands to himself.

As the applause of the Guards commander fell, a thin young man opened the door of Severus' room and strode in.

Arriving at Severus' bedside, the young man bent slightly towards Severus and said, "Caracalla says hello to my father. I hope my father can go to heaven after his death!"
