[Ancient Rome] How to Divorce the Tyrant Nero

Akdai is a slave given to little Agrippina by Pallas, because she is not only young and beautiful, but also the daughter of a scholar, so she has received a good education, can read and write multiple languages ​​fluently, and is good at cooking and sewing , storytelling and other social skills. .

Pallas gave Akdai to little Agrippina in the hope that she could assist little Agrippina to stabilize Claudius, thereby weakening the Meserina family's relationship with Claudius. Influence.However, before Akdai could be used, Pallas was sent to the guillotine. The little Agrippina escaped by relying on the "dedication" of the high priest, but she still had to face Tibi. The strategic minions, and Messalina's endless malice.

But before the younger Agrippina returned to Rome, those she left behind had to ensure that Nero was still under the control of the younger Agrippina.

So now is when Akdai comes in handy.

"So those idiots pinned their hopes on a female slave." Octavia watched Yulia Livia's execution this morning, and then waited for a piece of news that made her happy in the afternoon.

The Matronas put pressure on the Senate and the Citizens' Assembly to force them to pass the first version of the "Women's Act", and then let Claudius, who thought he was relieved, sign on it, declaring the bill officially take effect.

This was Octavia's most successful battle in history, and it also significantly improved her status in Matrona's heart.

Even if the little Agrippina can return to Rome, she will not be able to gain a higher status and prestige than Octavia, because Claudius thanked his wife and daughter in public for helping to coordinate the voices of all walks of life in Rome, So that they can spend the temple together.

Octavia has been meeting the wives and daughters of low-ranking officers in the past few days, expressing sympathy and greetings to their financial plight, and encouraging wealthy women to help them together.

The difficulty for women to accomplish one thing depends on whether they are concentric and persistent.

Octavia told the Matronas that taking the initiative to take social responsibility can weaken the voices that oppose the passage of the bill, and she will guide public opinion to the Senate and the Citizens' Assembly, so that the common people in Rome will recall the temple. Cause, and then more and more grateful to the Matronas for their contributions, and expressed support for their actions to fight for rights.

The stability of the regime has never relied on violence and self-righteous arrogance.

Because the historical summary of later generations has made it very clear that everything is composed of the people, so you have to ensure that the people who stand by your side in the end are the people, not any dead things.

Octavia hopes to bring a concept of future generations to ordinary people, that is, regardless of gender, origin, and various things that affect your subjective judgment, whether the supporters you finally selected can represent you, or in other words, they Or whether she can support your interests.

Roman citizens or free people may not care who rules them, but they absolutely care who violates|violates their interests.

This is also the step of power that Octavia temporarily relies on.

It can be said that Octavia is very busy now, very and very busy.

So she doesn't want anyone to disturb her, but it doesn't mean she will allow someone to rebel against her.

For example, the people around Nero.

Or, at the instigation of the conservatives, Brittanicus, who cursed her in public.

"I know that female slave." Octavia is not unfamiliar with the name Akdai, because it was this woman and Nero's second wife who led the ending of Octavia in history. It's a beautiful and cute bird with the look that most men love."

"It's not like me." Octavia looked calm.Although in the eyes of the outside world, she and Akdai are rivals in love, in the eyes of Octavia, they have never been competitors because their goals are different. "Brittanicus said I was a poisonous snake, and he The turmoil of the past few days has made my father very unhappy, because the Matronas only gave a quarter of the promised money."

"Yes, His Majesty the Emperor is also very troubled by this." Narcissus's hair was grayed by the changes in the past few days. He hoped that Octavia would be more concerned about the danger of His Majesty the Emperor instead of interacting with Nero. Flirt|flirting, so I deliberately mentioned an insignificant female slave in front of Octavia, so that she could temporarily avert her eyes from Nero. "Brittanicus was sent back to the queen by the emperor, because a A qualified ruler should not be tired of family affairs."

Narcissus insisted on stipulating what Britannicus did as a family matter, as if this would give him more confidence in front of Octavia "Until he is really sensible, His Majesty the Emperor will not Give him any errands, and you shouldn't quarrel with your own brother."

"Yes, I shouldn't have disputes with him." Octavia curled her lips sarcastically, and said bluntly, "The premise is that you still have the opportunity to teach him well, or if you fail, you can manage him well."

Even when she was angry, Octavia still maintained a good upbringing. She asked someone to move a chair for Narcissus, and asked him to drink some water to breathe slowly, "I don't intend to have any disputes with you, because our The purpose is to maintain His Majesty's rule, and there is nothing to do with spoiled children."

"Even though I can't agree with you intellectually, emotionally, I have the same feelings as you." Narcissus took a sip of wine tremblingly, and he seemed to be a little more energetic than before, "Your Majesty the Emperor I hope you will rush the Matronas. You also know that only the 1000 million Sestetti..."

Narcissus turned pale and said, "As you know, several provinces have been asking for money recently..."

"So my father and my mother broke out in a quarrel again, because she didn't do her duty to help him, but was having fun with the slaves." Octavia took Narcissus's words, meaning "But is it really my mother's responsibility? What are you guys doing when we're worrying about my father and doing our best for my father? Hmm? Let Brittanicus be used? Let him go." To offend the Matronas in a swarm, causing everything that was immediately obtained to be in vain?"

Narcissus did not dare to look into Octavia's eyes, because Brittanicus has been instigated by others recently to do some stupid things that make it difficult for Octavia to move, and even some conservatives who resisted the law Paint insulting patterns and words on the walls of the downtown area, and make ji|women and prostitutes|children look like Claudius and Messalina's mother and daughter to satirize him as being "castrated" by his wife and daughter |The weak emperor of "cutting".

"I will tell His Majesty the emperor about your difficulties, but please..." Even though the two were in a dilemma, Narcissus still insisted on saying, "Please..."

"Please ask me to negotiate with the Matronas, yes, of course I will do so." She was angry, but Octavia knew very well that her rise was inseparable from Claudius' rights, let alone The constant stupidity of Britannicus, and Narcissus and others' fear of the crown prince and the collapse of the building "I will try my best to get the rest of the money in a few days, provided that His Majesty has to give I create an environment where I can do things with peace of mind.”

Narcissus knew that Octavia wanted to negotiate terms again, but he could do nothing about it. "As the sister of Brittanicus, I am happy to urge him to get rid of his bad habits."

After hearing Octavia's words, Narcissus breathed a sigh of relief, but was choked by Octavia's next words.

"Please tell my father that Nero has a beautiful woman beside him." Octavia touched the ring on her hand and warned Narcissus, "If there is nothing else, Please step back first!"

"Little Claudia." Narcissus wanted to make some excuses, but Elius' announcement stopped him.

"Mistress, the emperor's secretary, Callistus please see me." Elius peeked at Narcissus's face, thinking of Titus today, and felt that he had to be more careful and diligent in serving the mistress .

"Look, without you, I have other choices, don't I?" Octavia smiled and warned Narcissus, "Don't think I don't know your little thoughts, if there is another Next time, you have to think about your future."

"Narcissus, I got a lot of interesting things from Pallas, I think you must be very interested." Octavia took off the gold ring from her hand.

Narcissus knew what was inscribed on it.

"Claudius."

"Narcissus, before you leave, let me warn you again." Octavia walked up to Narcissus, patted his stiff shoulder, and whispered in his ear, "I If it can get Pallas guillotined, it can also get you dragged to prison."

"Also, the emperor has many secretaries, but he has only two children."

The author has something to say:

The heroine will not proclaim the emperor directly, because she doesn't want to be messed up as soon as possible.
