[Ancient Rome] How to Divorce the Tyrant Nero

Claudius thinks very simply, that is, it is okay to take the blame, but the Senate and the Citizens' Assembly have to take the lead, and take most of the weight of the blame, so that he, the emperor, hesitates for a while symbolically, thus guiding the traditionalists His anger was aimed at the senate and citizens, contrasting him as the restricted, oppressed, and involuntary white lotus emperor. .

In this way, even if someone wants to overturn the bill many years later, it will not be blamed on Claudius when traced back.

Narcissus didn't understand why the Matronas did this, but from their point of view, how to deal with their own property other than taxation is the right of every Roman, so any actions aimed at their inaction All accusations are unfounded.

Besides, taking a step back, the male citizens who manage the priesthood are led by the Senate. They themselves are not optimistic about their own money. What does it have to do with the Matronas?From the perspective of Party B, they are not the ones who are anxious to get angry?They don't care about the internal teasing of Rome's political arena, just waiting for the final decision.

Narcissus really wanted to help Claudius solve his urgent needs, so he bit the bullet and negotiated with Octavia, "Can you discuss with the Matronas again?"

Facing Octavia's seemingly leisurely posture, Narcissus felt that an olive was stuffed in his throat, which made him unable to swallow it or spit it out "The Senate and the Citizens' Assembly are putting pressure on His Majesty the Emperor, so... ..."

"So you can put pressure on me if you can't solve it, right?" Octavia said bluntly, "Then let His Majesty the Emperor negotiate with the Matronas himself! I can't control this matter."

Octavia threw a document on the table, which shocked Narcissus, "Some officials of the Senate and the Citizens' Assembly are changing hands at a low price for the shops, manors, and mines under their name. Do you think they are so What is it for?"

Narcissus' face turned slightly pale, because for the Roman nobles, as long as the land was still there, the minerals were still there.Even if the money in the temple is gone, they can fight again.It's just that the current situation is too special. The expeditionary army is about to return, and the legions stationed in the provinces near the end of the year have already reached out to Rome for military pay.

Once Claudius can't get the money, and the Senate pays the military salary...

Narcissus no longer dared to imagine the follow-up development, so the eyes he looked at Octavia became extremely frightened.

"If my father is overthrown, you will die, my father will die, all the men in the Claudius family will die, only my mother and I will survive." Octavia directly cut open Narka The fear in South's heart slowly dragged him away with words, "My father was not a tyrant, and he did not do anything to anger citizens. So I will not be raped by angry people like Caligula's wife and daughter. Execution. Those senators are waiting for the moment when their father will step down. Their ambition is like a flame in the temple of Vitus, and they will kill you all."

"And at that time, I will be the ladder for them to ascend to the throne, at least I can outlive you for a while." In order to strengthen Narcissus' anxiety, Octavia exaggerated, "Do you still remember the 'last three giants'?" 'First thing after the league?"

"They marched into Rome, wiped out their political enemies, collected wealth, and then left behind the wives and daughters of the senators. They put on a veil that is better than nothing for their atrocities." Octavia slapped fiercely The table said, "I really can't believe that you are dying, and you are still thinking about the infamy behind you."

"So seniors..." Narcissus seemed to have thought of something, and tentatively asked Octavia, "Do you think..."

"Do you think that the matter of the temple was directed and acted by the Senate from the beginning to the end? Nonsense, of course I have thought about this." Octavia took a deep breath, and for the first time showed in front of Narcissus A Decadent Posture "How many people do you think would sincerely acknowledge their father's throne?"

"..."

"The rebels of the Asiaticus faction have never been peaceful. They even slandered our family behind our backs as usurpers, false kings, and Roman sluts."

"There is also the direct line of the Augustus faction." Octavia's voice was a little crying, and the whole person broke down, "Have you forgotten what the Silanus family and little Agrippina did? They want to Let me and Brittanicus die, and almost succeed."

"Don't say it, I beg you to stop it..." Narcissus was infected by Octavia's emotions, and couldn't help supporting Octavia with tears streaming down his face, preventing her from being too sad. Passed out "Little Claudia, noble emperor's daughter, I beg you not to succumb to the ordeal in front of you, lest the villain in the shadows completely succeed."

Narcissus tried to comfort him, "We haven't reached the point of despair yet, and His Majesty the Emperor hasn't fallen yet."

"Yes, His Majesty the Emperor hasn't fallen yet..." Narcissus kept saying these words silently, and then, as if he had made up his mind, he hurried away with the documents Octavia dropped on the table.

After Narcissus left, Octavia wiped away the tears on her face, like a good daughter trying to get her father a chance to breathe, and invited the ladies who attended Messalina's banquet a few days ago Get together at home.

"I just heard the news from my father's secretary that His Majesty the Emperor refused to pass a special proposal from the Senate and intends to force taxes on Roman women." Octavia washed her clothes before the lady arrived. She rolled her face with a boiled egg to prevent people from seeing that she was crying just now. "In addition, the legions stationed in various places have already known about the temple and intend to put pressure on the Senate and the Citizens' Assembly."

"So, we have to put more pressure on the Senate and the Citizens' Assembly so that they can force His Majesty the Emperor to pass this bill." Petronia said very sharply, "What I said to my husband these days is more important than before. It’s more than three years. The Imperial Guards in Rome don’t pay much attention to the life and death of the Senate, so those old men have been harassing us a lot recently.”

"Listening to your words, I'm afraid I don't want to borrow money from the Consul." The orator's daughter pursed her lips and said with a smile, "A few sweet words don't come with real money. I should be glad that there is no one here who is deceived by Venus. People, under the temptation of love, do things that they regret.”

"That's why I suggest that everyone here ask the borrower for collateral." Octavia suggested, "We are not big creditors hiding behind Rome, and we can use all kinds of connections to make borrowers obediently repay the loan." .Because our strength is too small and our contacts are too few, it is only with the real thing in hand that people can feel at ease."

"Whether it's a house, a manor, or even a mine."

"They have to pay the same." Octavia knew that these women had reaped a lot recently, relying on the pressure of the Senate and the Citizens' Assembly, which was criticized by thousands of people, to buy up the real estate they transferred at a low price. "It's just that money is not enough, We still have to have a guarantee to see and hold the money.”

Octavia sighed, "Bacchanalia is approaching, and the expeditionary army is coming back soon."

"I'm very worried that His Majesty the Emperor will lead the expeditionary army to direct their anger at the Senate and the Citizens' Assembly, looting both, and then put their greedy eyes on us." Octavia's words made the hearts of those present follow. Tightening up, the tone became extremely firm and said, "So we need to speed up the review process of the bill, and it is best to implement it before the Dionysian Festival."
