[Ancient Rome] How to Divorce the Tyrant Nero

Messalina knew that her importance to the family was not as deep as she thought, but it was the first time that she was slapped naked in the face by her biological father like today, so that her face turned red. I can't wait to tear off a piece of skin and slam it on my father's face.

In contrast, Brittany Kus's mood was not much better, and he even had to take a deep breath to forcefully suppress his temper.

"Why, I just said this, and you can't stand it?" Marcus Barbatus took everyone's performance into his eyes, and decided to be a villain before he died: "You really think that Rome's political arena is So messy?"

Marcus Barbatus looked at Messalina with a mocking look, which made the latter's anger turn into a guilty conscience in an instant: "The things you have done these years alone are enough to be on the execution platform. It has been hung up a hundred times. Without me and Octavia cleaning up for you, do you think you can escape the punishment of Claudius, or the conspiracy of little Agrippina? As for Brittany S..."

When mentioning his grandson, Marcus Barbatus only felt panicked.

Because among the three descendants, the only usable one is still being dragged by two crazy draggers.

If Marcus Barbatus could still move, he would have dragged these two unworthy descendants into Pluto's palace long ago, and saved them from continuing to be an eyesore in the world.

"You also sat on the throne of the emperor, and you were almost dragged out of the Palatine Palace by the furious people." Marcus Barbatus almost jumped out of bed when he thought of the good things Britannicus had done back then. Jump up: "Only for this matter, you are not suitable to be an emperor."

"Why?" Brittanicus finally broke out: "This is just a small mistake in my life. Could it be that those great kings are all perfect people without mistakes?"

Marcus Barbatus didn't know how to refute Brittanicus's protest, but he still tried to reply: "A mistake in one's own decision is not the same thing as a mistake inspired by others. You let What disappoints me is not that I made a mistake, but that you will never see this level.”

When Marcus Barbatus talked about the fierceness, he coughed a few times: "If you can go hand in hand with Octavia, then you can still try to make you emperor, but now, this has already It's impossible."

"Octavia is already Nero's queen, so the upper families in Rome will not support you to become emperor." Marcus Barbatus said here, and glanced at Octavia intentionally. , like reaching a tacit understanding with him.

Brittanicus didn't understand Marcus Barbatus' worries, but Messalina vaguely felt that her fortress was not as strong as she thought.

Although Messalina had this premonition when Claudius died, but it was only when Marcus Barbatus came to the end of his life that Messalina became more aware of it. There are even some desperadoes.

[If one day, the parents who are willing to tolerate her leave, the powerful Octavia will also disappear.So what kind of life will she live? 】

Messalina was so dazed by this question that her vision became clouded, and she couldn't even hear any sound for a short time.

"Little Dominia, take all these people away, I want to talk to Octavia alone." Marcus Barbatus, who had said so much, asked his wife to clear out the irrelevant people in the house, and finally he was able to talk to Octavia. The granddaughter said some important information.

"I heard that you and Nero have had a lot of conflicts recently. It won't be long before you get rid of him, or let him die of illness without anyone noticing." Marcus Barbatus said He doesn't care who sits on the throne, he only cares about whether his family and descendants can enjoy the pampered treatment in Rome: "So have you chosen the next puppet?"

"Do you think Rome can still find qualified puppets?" Octavia rarely showed a tired look, because she really suffered a lot of psychological pressure during this period: "Even if Nero died, Bu It is also difficult for Litanicus to take the position, and it may even cause riots in Rome."

"So your best choice is to quickly 'give birth' to Nero's son, and then take control of all the powers in Rome." Marcus Barbatus said with a burst of blood: "The economic lifeblood of Rome is not only olives. Oil, including foreign trade, and hard currency reserves such as gold and silver. As long as you control every aspect of your life, no one will easily attack you." Marcus Barbatus has always said Paying attention to Octavia's every move, she did not relax her control over Rome because of her illness.

"How much hard currency reserves do you have now?" Marcus Barbatus licked his dry lips, his eyes full of inquiry: "Galba's military resources will definitely not be able to support your asset layout, even if you The Bida family and the Valerius family are all subsidized in cash, and it is difficult to get to this point."

"You don't have to worry about this at all." Octavia still holds the temple's money in her hand, so she can guarantee that she will never be short of cash: "The only thing I am worried about now is that once you leave, the Senate There will be riots immediately."

Octavia knew that her reputation in the Senate was not very good. In the past, Marcus Barbatus blocked her, but after her grandfather left, those people would definitely join forces with other provincial governors to come. against yourself.

Although Octavia still has Galba's support, and she can control the throat of the military salary, she still cannot relax her vigilance for these provincial governors.

"Aurus Vitellius might make a fuss after I leave, but Vepasian from the Flavius ​​family can restrain him, plus Aurus Vitellius Si's ex-wife won't sit back and watch him recover, so you don't have to worry too much." Marcus Barbatus' eyes suddenly became as sharp as a falcon, and even his tone became a little heavy: "You really have to worry Yes, it's Gacius Florus."

Octavia was no stranger to the name, as this was the proconsul who defied her at Nero's enthronement banquet.

"This guy's oppression of the Jewish province will cause big trouble one day." Marcus Barbatus said with certainty: "If he is not a fool who makes money, then he just wants to take advantage of it. "

Marcus Barbatus warned: "I'm sure this guy is playing with the Roman throne, so in your lifetime, you must not let Gallus, the governor of Syria, leave the place where the Jews can see."

"Otherwise Gacius Florus will definitely provoke the resistance of the Jews, which will lead to a large-scale civil war."
