[Ancient Rome] How to Divorce the Tyrant Nero

Otto's family has never been so devastated.

Because Vespasian of the Flavius ​​family had nothing to do, he insisted on digging up all the old cases for retrial. The governor originally wanted to directly reject the consul's request, but Nero must have been instigated by that woman in Octavia, and was coaxed into speaking out for the retired officers, so under the pressure of the emperor and the imperial guards, The magistrate was also unable to complete the roles assigned by the senate and some nobles, so he had to pass the retrial proposal of the consul.

"That bitch." Otto's family started off by collecting tolls, and after a little success, they gradually started a black business.

There is a kind of speculator named "vulture" in the current Beacon Country, who is looking for houses that have been put on the second-hand trading market because the owner is unable to repay the mortgage.

Otto's family is doing this kind of business, and at the same time has inextricably linked with those usury dealers, so as to get good news from them, or forcefully create good news.

"It's useless even if you scold God here." Not only Otto, but Pompeo Sabina's family also received many lawsuits. Binna is useless, and the Otto family cannot help solve the predicament.

For this, Pompeo Sabina scoffed and scolded her father for being stupid.

Their family is all so virtuous, how can Otto's family be better?

Moreover, Pompeia Sabina observed that Wei Paxiang of the Flavius ​​family was very good at picking people, but he only picked up a few very controversial middle and lower-level nobles involved in the black industry to make an example of others, and did not move the military chiefs or It is the interests of the great nobles.

This is also the confidence that Octavia can attack.

Because it is not transformed into a capitalist society, but a half-slave and half-feudal society, the upper class occupies most of the territory, resources, and control of the army.They may not have money, but they definitely have the ability to rob.And the rich are mostly commoners with little territory, small nobles, or free people.They may have the money to hire goons, but their goons are limited by emancipation laws and access to citizenship, making it difficult to work long-term under one master.

Especially black business supporters like Otto, if they can't find a solid thigh, they will most likely be killed by the desperate people at the bottom.

And big businessmen like Crassus gradually expanded their business after obtaining the status of a veteran, and their operations were more flamboyant than Otto's. At least on the surface, Crassus did not do black business The number of scolding is not as much as being scolded by nobles.

Otto and Pompea Sabina could fully imagine that if Nero didn't stand by their side, the civilians swarming up would definitely tear them apart.

Besides, Galba of the Sulpicius family was also very happy to see them come to a dead end. After all, the creditor died, and he could relieve a lot of financial pressure.

"No, we must not just sit and wait for death." Otto said cruelly: "If it is impossible, I will poison Nero to death. Without the emperor, Octavia will have no backer to control. At that time..."

"When the time comes when Brittanicus succeeds the emperor, what will happen to our family?" Before Otto could finish speaking, Pompea Sabina retorted: "Both of us are crucified. Lu supporters, how could Brittanicus let us go, and Octavia..."

Pompeo Sabina thought about the conflict between Octavia and Brittanicus, and felt that Otto's proposal was not impossible, but...

"Have you got access to Brittanicus?"

"If Titus is willing to help us, Brittanicus will definitely accept our kindness." Otto sneered: "He will never stay in the temple all his life. At least in terms of dealing with Octavia , Whether it is Titus or us, or Brittanicus, can be consistent."

After Nero's death and Brittany's accession to the throne, Titus was Brittany's most trusted partner, and they would rise to occupy a favorable position.

It was just that when Otto was proudly telling his plan, Pompeia Sabina had a new vigilance: If Otto really became the emperor's minister, then she would be useless to Otto.

Was she to seduce Brittanicus?

But because of his mother and sister, Brittany Kus hates women who are promiscuous and women who have too much power, and she can't pretend to be a little white rabbit all day long, and then flirt with Brittany Kus to herself Wrinkles appear on the face.

From this point of view, Nero really can't die.

Pompeo Sabina felt that although Nero hated her, she still had some pity for her because of what happened that night.If she can grasp this mercy well, she may not be able to replace Octavia and become Nero's heart.

As for Otto...

Pompeo Sabina lowered her eyes, carefully hiding her sneer.

He never regarded her as his wife, so why should she care about Otto's life?

…………… I am the dividing line……………

With Octavia's funding, the Roman court has been busy recently.

How many helpless people who were separated from their wives shouted the names of Nero and his wife under the Palatine Hill after getting the judgment, and then decorated their statues with flowers and paraded on the streets of Rome.

When Nero saw this, he only felt that he would become a virtuous king even greater than his predecessors.And Octavia also gave him affirmation: "Pluto's Germanicus is also proud of meeting you."

"It's a pity that I can't do more for the common people." Nero said with some regret: "If I can take charge of the government immediately, they won't have to suffer for so long."

Octavia really wanted to complain about Nero's naive thoughts, and also noticed that Nero's desire for pro-government would lead to differences between him and Marcus Barbatus, so she subtly persuaded: "Isn't Seneca doing it for you?" Do you explain statecraft? You can't manage state affairs without knowing anything about Rome."

"But how can telling be faster than practice? Besides, Seneca has never been an emperor, so how can he teach me to be an emperor?" As he grew older, Nero gradually developed a desire for power.

Octavia worried that if her persuasion was too much, it would make Nero feel disgusted, so she said curtly: "My grandfather is old, and he should have a happy retirement life like my mother. So Nero , if you want to be in power as soon as possible, you must first persuade the Citizens' Assembly and the Senate to delegate power to you, and then discuss with Seneca."

"Oh! How could they easily let me go. They wish I was a child who can't grow up." Although Nero is not sensitive to politics, the experience of being manipulated by little Agrippina when he was young still makes him see Leaving the Senate does not want to give up the current acting career.

"What reason do they have for not delegating power? You are only a few months away from turning 17, so they can't just cling to the handle of power!" Octavia reassured: "So you still have to find Seneca Discuss, after all, more people have more power, and Seneca has dealt with the Senate for decades, maybe he really has a way?"

Nero nodded suspiciously, ready to start his own early pro-government plan.

The author has something to say:

I really feel that playing politics has the high pressure of playing with fire, anyway, I can't survive here (salted fish lying down).
