[Ancient Rome] How to Divorce the Tyrant Nero

"The last one who dared to negotiate terms with me was Livia Drusula." After all, the ugly woman is also a person who has seen the world. Ya was easily frightened: "Your great-grandmother is also an extremely smart woman, but it's a pity that Livia Drusula didn't attack her son until the end. This is why she can defeat Julia Caesares, But it was the main reason why it was defeated by little Antonia."

In the latter part of Tiberius' reign, Livia Drusula's position was replaced by Antonia the Younger.Her idol, honorary title, and treatment were all deprived of by her son who worked so hard to bring her to the throne. Even after Livia Drusula died, Tiberius was unwilling to attend his mother's funeral.

Little Antonia, who succeeded in revenge, did not end well. She repeated what happened to Livia Drusula in her later years, watching her son, daughter-in-law, and grandson die one after another at the hands of Tiberius, and finally died in the In the madness of Caligula, he committed suicide in grief and indignation.

As far as the ending is concerned, none of the women in the Claudius family ended well.

The ugly woman seemed to be aware of this too, and reminded awkwardly: "Little girl of the Claudius family, for the sake of your ancestors, I have a word for you."

"Jupiter is the most powerful god, but wealth is in the hands of Pluto." The ugly woman looked at the gold coin in Octavia's hand and smiled strangely: "I just stand by Pluto's side." Triodites, but the coin bears the curse of Melinoe."

"Even so, do you want to make a wish to me?"

"Of course." Octavia sarcastically said, "Melinoe's father is not Pluto. Since you are Triodites next to Hades, why did you help Jupiter defeat the Titan?"

"Okay! Don't continue to talk nonsense with me here, just tell me what you want." The ugly woman who suffered twice in a row was also a little impatient: "If you want the life of the chief priest, I will Will let him die peacefully within a week."

"...Why should I waste a golden opportunity just to take the life of a high priest?" Octavia sneered, "I don't like to lose money?"

"Then what do you want to do?" The ugly woman suddenly had a bad feeling: "I warn you, only one life can be taken at a time, so don't make excessive demands."

"No, why do I have to use you to solve someone?" Octavia was puzzled: "Can't I make another sum of money while destroying the priesthood?"

"..."

"I remember that in the Roman temple, there is still a lot of money enshrined to the gods!"

"...Are you crazy?"

"I'm not crazy. Rather than letting the harvest of the war stay in the box and rust, it's better for me to use it on the citizens of Rome." Octavia confidently applied the ideas of later generations: "After all, the people's life is rich. Only then can we have the energy to pursue ideas.”

Besides, that money will be snatched from the temple by Nero in the future, and then go to build a palace that is useless.

Octavia would not do such a foolish thing.

If she survived the sixth year of Nero's reign, she would now have to prepare for the fire of Rome in 64, and the fire of Pompeii in 79.

By the way, we also need to rectify the inflation problem caused by bad money, the miscellaneous taxation, the class division caused by the lack of salaries of officials, the large gap between the rich and the poor, and many other social problems left over from the Republic period to today.

And the legit pests who eat social welfare and don't work.

Octavia thought of the US food relief policy of later generations and the dilemma faced by the flower growers' poverty alleviation plan, and couldn't help but want to bang against the big wall with a headache.

It is no wonder that after Nero was forced to commit suicide, he was born in the year of four emperors, and there was also the Flavius ​​dynasty, which was so short-lived that there were only three emperors and two generations.

Anyone who took over such a mess full of holes would have to kneel to death.

After discussing with the ugly woman, Octavia left the secret path.

Strangely, the moment she stepped out of the hidden door, all traces disappeared as if they only existed in a dream.

"Don't tell me, this is the entrance for Aeneas to enter the underworld." Octavia stroked the wall in front of her, trying to find the fitting gap of the hidden door, but found nothing.

"I'm afraid I really encountered an illusion." Octavia laughed at herself, and decided to observe it for a few more days after returning home.

……………………… I am the dividing line……………

Even though Appius Hiranus worked tirelessly for Lucius Hiranus, Lucius Hiranus was sentenced to He was decapitated on the fifth day after his arrest for adultery and adultery, and left the decapitated body to his extremely sad grandfather.

Both Appius Hiranus and his daughter Ukrania the Great insisted that Lucius Hiranus had been slandered by someone with a heart, and should not have been sentenced to death.

However, many people have proved the adultery between Lucius Hiranus and Yulia Livia in court, and the latter is pregnant. situation.

"When was the death sentence for Yulia Livia?" Because the law does not allow the execution of virgins and pregnant women, Yulia Livia was lucky to escape.

"It should be in September this year, but Her Royal Highness doesn't want Yulia Livia to hang around for a few more months." Narcissus, who sent the message, said cautiously: "With all due respect, if you want to put Yulia Livia away If Livia dies, she cannot survive Dionysus."

"We cannot guarantee that Yulia Livia will not be pardoned by His Majesty the Emperor on the Dionysus Festival, or run into the carriage of the virgin Vitas." Because of Epaphroditus' relationship, that Ercysus is a bit of a mild anxiety disorder, and he has been looking at his slaves and low-level officials with suspicion lately.

Octavia knocked on the table with some hesitation, which made Narcissus slightly anxious: "We have already missed once on little Agrippina, you don't want to execute only Luke in this trial. Us Silanus!"

Compared with Claudius's other secretaries, the most loyal Narcissus always spared no effort to understand Claudius's potential competitors, which was the main reason why he could get along peacefully with Messalina.

Octavia sometimes wonders if Narcissus loves her father deeply.

If Narcissus were 30 years younger and had a face comparable to Adonis, maybe there would be nothing wrong with Nero now.

"Go let Scylla get in touch with my mother." Octavia finally let go: "Remember to clean up the tail, don't let people leave any excuses."

"Yes." Narcissus got the reply and immediately went to Messalina.

His entitlement was not enough to tap into the deeper powers, and Narcissus was not exactly a likable fellow to Messalina.

Unless Octavia is behind the scenes, Narcissus' plan will be much more difficult.

"Haven't I found the eunuch secretary I wanted?" Because Titus' official letter of appointment had already been obtained, the family moved to a slum near the center of Rome.

"Because you don't want eunuchs from Persia, the boss of the slave market finds them for you in other regions." Because of Titus' departure, Elius' recent work pressure has doubled, so he is better than Octavian. Ya even hoped that the eunuch secretary could take office as soon as possible: "Why don't you make it up first?"

"No." Octavia resolutely said: "Our relationship with Persia has not eased to that point, if there is an eunuch from Persia by my side, then no matter what I say or do in the future, it will be regarded as a crime. Bewitched by a Persian eunuch."

And at that time, in the eyes of the Romans, Octavia was just a poor little girl controlled by Persian magic, and she was not trustworthy at all.

This is extremely detrimental to Octavia who wants to take power.

The author has something to say:

Merinoe: Goddess of conspiracy, the illegitimate daughter of Hades and Jupiter, the ugly woman said that she refers to those who conspire against others, and will be backlashed, but Octavia satirizes that the ugly woman has been overwhelmed by power Corrosion, because the gold masters she serves are all very close to the center of power.

Aeneas: The son of Venus and Prince Troy, who once entered the underworld.Legend has it that he is the ancestor of the ancient Romans, as well as the ancestor of Augustus and Caesar, which is why, the patron saint of their family is Venus.

Persian eunuchs were very unwelcome in ancient Rome. On the one hand, their quality was too strong. On the other hand, there were problems left over from the history of the Romans and Persians. On the other hand, the Persian eunuchs had always had a tradition of being involved in government affairs, which made the Romans unacceptable.
