[Ancient Rome] How to Divorce the Tyrant Nero

With the help of the Aventine Hill, the sick Nero was quickly sent back to Rome, where he was quarantined for at least fourteen days.

During this period, apart from Octavia and several important ministers, no one could get close to the nagging emperor, let alone the emperor who might have suffered from the plague.

"He really didn't do anything good except to make trouble for others." After Titus visited Nero instead of his father, his roommate Davia complained: "It's lucky that you can bear him until today, see Come on, you didn’t want Brittanicus to ascend the throne, so you took Nero back in advance.”

Facing Titus' temptation, Octavia gave him a slightly angry look: "Didn't your father tell you that it is the basic ethics of a qualified politician to see through and not tell the truth?"

Titus didn't understand why Octavia was so angry, but considering her workload these days, Titus could still forgive Octavia's growing temper.

After all, women always have a few days of sensitive period.

And a woman who is menstruating, in earlier times, was regarded as an existence that could call the wind and rain.

"For the sake of our cooperation, let me remind you." Titus remembered the news from his spies, and decided to make a deal with Octavia.

However, before his plan was announced, he was beaten up by Octavia: "If you want to say that Brittanicus is ready to challenge the throne of Rome, then you don't have to tell me about it in me." Putting on such a naughty look in front of you."

Octavia looked at the slight rebound in the number of patients, and felt that this group of idiots whose minds were gold coins besides the throne was really hopeless: "If they want to inherit a lifeless Rome, they should experience death first, maybe It can play a certain auxiliary role in their way of governing the country."

"If your mouth could be as sweet as Venus, then there wouldn't be so many people against you." Titus sat on Octavia's recliner, posing a relaxed posture at home: "In addition , my father will not support you for a long time, especially now that the emperor has returned, he is likely to attack you."

"Then tell me these things, do you want to betray your father, or sell your father?" Octavia tentatively said, "Otherwise, you don't need to waste my limited time."

Titus tilted his head and looked at Octavia's side face, this behavior made his mother's face look a bit feminine and charming: "Do you really want to talk to me in this tone? "

Although he could understand Octavia's bad mood, it didn't mean Titus had to tolerate Octavia's bad temper.

"Okay! Then what are you going to say?" Octavia also noticed that her temper was too violent, so she softened her tone to a certain extent: "Your father just wants to support an emperor to replace me. , so there is no difference between Nero and Brittanicus in his eyes."

Titus nodded, thinking that Octavia is also quite miserable, to be able to have such male family members continuously.

And Augustus and Livia Drusula probably didn't expect that their descendants would not be able to live up to this level.

If Germanicus had not been beheaded by his jealous uncle, Rome would be a different picture now.

"I want the title of Consul of Pompeii." Titus finally threw out his own conditions: "In addition, I also want to be the governor of the garrison legion."

Octavia frowned subconsciously, and said even more bluntly: "You are too greedy. Just being a Pompeii consul is enough to make you criticized by countless people."

"But Augustus became a consul at the age of 19." Titus retorted: "My age, experience, and background are not as good as Augustus, but I am the consul of the second largest city. It’s not a big deal either.”

"It is true that I will encounter countless rebuttals before I take office, but Octavia, you are also aware of Rome's 'old disease', which makes you need a consul who has the courage to carry out reforms."

Titus felt that his father and the Roman Senate were abandoned by the times.

Like Sulla, Caesar, or Claudius, the era of expanding the territory blindly and supporting war with war has long since ceased to exist.

If it weren't for the fact that Rome's control could not be further strengthened with the expansion of its territory, then the Roman Empire would not be divided into two, and then further fragmented into countless small countries on this basis.

Titus saw that Octavia could not tolerate those conservatives who were addicted to the old days and continued to govern the country in a regular manner, so he boldly said: "I am the partner you are looking for, am I not?" ?”

Octavia finally began to face up to this young Roman who had made no secret of his ambitions at the beginning of the meeting.

After so many years, Titus has finally changed from a frizzy little boy to a mature youth who can hide his thoughts.

However, compared to the scum like Marcus Barbatus, he is still too tender.But in the eyes of Octavia, this is not a serious shortcoming, but can become a momentum for reform.

"Let your father persuade those old antiques to vote for you." After a while, Octavia finally said: "But don't even think about the governor of the main station legion."

"why?"

"Because I'm not a fool."

Octavia leaned against the soft back of the chair and showed a standard smile: "You may be thinking, I'm already so tired, so I won't get to the bottom of your intentions. But Titus, I regret my life , so I will not let you become the consul and the governor of the garrison legion at the same time, understand?"

Titus' black lashes cast a shadow over the lids, as if he had been painted with a light gray eyeliner.

"That's why I like women like you." Titus smiled and said, "Working with smart people can always get twice the result with half the effort."

"Thank you for your compliment, but I'm not going to let you spend the night in Palatine's palace." Octavia checked the time and decided to check on the emperor's situation.

"Why, are you still thinking about Nero?" Titus noticed that Octavia hadn't let go of her attention to Nero, so he joked with a bad taste: "Do you still want to have sex with a useless person? He really Can it make you happy?"

Octavia didn't care what Titus said, but asked instead: "Can you bring me an heir to the throne?"

If Titus was blond, then Octavia might try it out with him. After all, with Titus' mind and identity, not only could it prevent Octavia from giving birth to an idiot to a certain extent, but it could also help Octavia's children escorted her.

It's a pity that Octavia needs her children to look more like Nero in appearance, so Titus is not a good choice.
