[Ancient Rome] How to Divorce the Tyrant Nero

Epirius never thought that Octavia would challenge the throne, or that no one would think that a woman could take the throne.

Prior to this, Rome used chastity to bind women's every move.Until the end of the republic, the heirs of the warlords and the dictators took office, and the women who stood behind the men had a place to play, and the battle for inheritance resources began.

After this step of integration, Augustus re-stuffed the traditional virtues into all aspects of life in order to unite the whole of Rome and highlight the importance of Roman culture.

It's a pity that even Augustus's own daughter couldn't stop the regulations at that time, let alone those women who had already tasted the sweetness of power.

After the death of Augustus, due to the instability of the transformation of kingship and the transformation of the right of succession from the electoral system to the consanguineous system.Livia Drusula became the first Augustus to come to power, which is also the first lady's dispute between Messalina and Agrippina, and Octavia's alliance with Rome Matronas, lay the groundwork for pressuring the Senate and the Citizens' Assembly for women's rights.

And now, Octavia is no longer content to be an Augusta who can stand in front of people, or a member of the royal family who appears with the king on statues and coins.

Especially after cleaning up the mess for her unreliable younger brother and ex-husband, Octavia, who had turned the table deep in her heart, felt that it was time to abolish the unreasonable male inheritance law.

In order to avoid the "Salik Code" that has been complained about by countless people in future generations.

"Little Claudia, please forgive me, there are still many conservatives in Rome now. And they all think that letting a woman inherit the throne is an act of barbarians." Aprius was born as a freeman, so he is very concerned about The acceptance of female inheritance is far better than that of the Romans, but even so, he is not optimistic about Octavia's success: "Even if you are the reincarnation of Minerva, they will not support you to become emperor."

"On this point, I also have my own considerations." Octavia looked out of the window, as if there were countless pairs of eyes hidden in the darkness: "A Roman official once said something worthy of scrutiny."

"Eprius, how many people in the most noble family in Rome do you think have not been stained with foreign blood?"

"From Germany to Thrace, from Egypt to Syria."

"Does Rome still have pure-blood nobles in the true sense?" Octavia's eyes revealed obvious sarcasm, which made Epirius feel a little embarrassed.

"How many so-called conservatives are true conservatives? And how many are speculators who want to use their status as conservatives to highlight|emphasize their importance?"

Epirius seemed to understand Octavia's meaning, so he asked tentatively, "You mean...to buy unsteady conservatives and let them build momentum for your ascension to the throne?"

"Not only that, but I also want to dilute the votes of the conservatives." Octavia clenched her palms together, trying to hide her nervousness when talking about this topic: "You know why the Matronas want to take the initiative to pay taxes, Do you take the initiative to undertake social obligations?"

"Why?"

"Because only citizens need to do this." Octavia added: "Power and obligation are twins. If the Matronas want to be treated like citizens, they must first undertake the corresponding obligations."

"So you want to use the votes of Matronas to dilute the proportion of conservative voters?" Epirius suddenly realized: "This is a very desirable method, but the number of Matronas... really Can it affect the proportion of votes?"

After all, there are less than a thousand Matronas in Rome, and no more than [-]% of them have the ability to pay taxes.

Epirius doesn't think numbers in the hundreds will have much of an impact on the outcome of the vote.

Even if these Matronas mobilize the whole family to vote for Octavia, it will not have a big impact on the basis of tens of thousands.

"If you count those poor people who are eager to repay their debts, I must have definitely won more than half of the votes." Octavia said calmly: "If you can't be soft, then come hard."

"I don't believe that under the candy stick, there will still be people who don't know how to be interesting." Speaking of this, Octavia regained her kind face in front of others, which made Epirius shudder.

"After all, people want to make a living, and not so many people are noble enough to meet Pluto in their prime, right?"

"Yes..." Epirius opened his mouth and let out a voice that didn't belong to him.

…………… I am the dividing line……………

Doryphrus found a way to get into the tightly blocked city of Pompeii.

Because of the epidemic, coupled with the resistance some time ago, an unprecedented fire broke out in the city of Pompeii, which directly caused some free people and slaves who rented houses to have no shelter, and then angrily went to find the perpetrator and watch the excitement The nobles settled accounts.

Before Garba led troops to suppress the riots in Pompeii, there had been no less than fifteen large-scale fights here, and even once turned a commercial street in the city center into a burning city of Vulcan.

Fortunately, those provocateurs had already arrived before Galba arrived, and there were only a few immobile "spiritual leaders" left internally. Therefore, Galba's suppression process did not encounter too many obstacles, but went smoothly. Unbelievable extent.

Relying on Octavia's token, Dory Fluorus easily met Galba, and then straightforwardly explained the purpose of coming: "Octavia from the Claudius family sends her greetings to you, and at the same time expresses her sincere gratitude to you for your suppression work. Sincere thanks."

Galba carefully looked at Dory Fluorus, then waved his hand, signaling the lieutenant general in the tent to make room for the two of them to talk.

"What trouble did little Claudia encounter? You want to call me back at this time." Galba, who has gone through the five dynasties, had already realized something in the dark, but he still asked: "The emperor has already gone. Pluto's palace, or Rome, is as riotous as Pompeii."

"To be precise, the emperor has been unable to fulfill his obligations, so the Senate is preparing to let the heir succeed the emperor's scepter." Doryphrus did not hide it from Galba, after all, the other party was the core figure in Rome's military affairs. , naturally have the right to know the real situation of the emperor.

"According to the will of His Majesty Claudius, regardless of whether the current emperor and little Claudia have male offspring, Brittanicus is the first heir. But your Excellency, you really rest assured that Brittany Will Kus inherit the throne?"

There was no worry about the future of Rome in Doryfluus' eyes, but he directly pierced Galba's greatest worry: "An heir who almost let the mob storm the Palatine Palace can really take over the city that is full of holes. Rome?"
