Having said that, Shirou couldn't help but pause.

These two methods have a certain degree of uncertainty, and there is no guarantee that the traitor will be found.

If the other party didn't come up with it temporarily, but had been preparing for a long time, maybe the fire would have started before their own side had investigated the results.

"In the next few days, I will stay in the imperial capital to ensure your safety."

If there is a big fire, then there will be heavy snow and the fire will be extinguished.

At this time, there was a sudden exclamation from outside the door:

"Your Majesty, something is wrong!"

The maid pushed open the door with a face full of horror, seeing that Shirou was obviously stunned, and then said quickly:

"Your Majesty, it's on fire! The city is on fire!"

what!

Shirou's expression changed slightly, how could it be so fast?

This really wasn't a temporary rebellion, but a long-planned conspiracy.

Nero ran out of the bedroom in a panic, stood on the attic, looked at the fire in the city, his expression changed drastically.

"How did this happen? Someone actually set the fire! Quick! Get someone to put out the fire."

Thinking of Shirou's statement that the fire may burn continuously for seven days and seven nights, Nero had a headache for a while.

Outside the palace, most of the people's houses were made of wood, so it was really difficult to extinguish the fire.

What's more, this is still deliberately arson.

If the fire really burns for seven days and seven nights, Rome will definitely lose not only some money, but also the hearts of the people.

At this time, snowflakes gradually floated in the sky.

Feather-like snowflakes fell on his head, making Nero feel a little cold, and his body shivered unconsciously.

However, her heart was extremely excited.

"How is this possible! In this season, it should be raining, how could it be snowing?"

"However, this snow came just in time! It's just in time."

But the next moment, she unconsciously thought of a question.

Why is it not raining, but snowing?

Can snow alone put out the fires?

Compared with rain, snow is light and weightless. When it falls, it may be burned by fire.

"Hey... Do you think this snow can put out the fire?"

"of course can!"

Shirou replied without hesitation.

This is no ordinary snow, it is heavy snow mixed with its own magic power, which is specially made to put out fires.

The fire had just started and hadn't spread yet, so it was nothing to mention in front of his own snow.

"But……"

Nero pursed his lips, pondered for a few seconds, and said in a low voice:

"But, Yu has only heard that rain can put out fires, but never that snow can also put out fires?"

"That's because snow only occurs in winter, and the days when it does tend to be so cold that fires don't start at all."

Shirou paused, looked at the sky and said:

"Water and fire are complementary, but there is no conclusion that who will win. A fire can turn water into steam, and a large amount of water can also extinguish the flame. This snow will definitely extinguish the fire."

"Yu is going out of the palace, Qing should come with me."

"of course."

When they walked out of the palace, the flames had disappeared without a trace, and the city was completely white.

Although the heavy snow has stopped, the snow that fell on the ground will not disappear because of this.

On the street, many people could be vaguely seen kneeling on the side of the road praying, thanking heaven for the snow.

Although the fire hadn't burned completely, the soaring flames scattered in many places attracted everyone's attention as soon as they appeared.

And this brief heavy snow came and went in a hurry, as if it came specially to put out the fire, which naturally aroused heated discussions among the people.

Nero stopped in front of a disaster-stricken house, looked at the wall that had been burned to a third, and let out a long sigh of relief.

Although some people's property was damaged, the heavy snow came in a very timely manner and there should be no casualties.

In this way, it is enough to arrange for someone to make up for the victims tomorrow.Or give money, or help repair the house.

"I didn't expect that snow could really put out fires."

Nero shifted his gaze to Shirou unconsciously, and just as he was about to speak, a few voices from the people suddenly came from beside him:

"Your Majesty! Your Majesty!!"

"Your Majesty, this fire is too strange, someone must have set it on purpose, please catch the arsonist!"

"Your Majesty, the heavy snow just now came and went quickly, so it must be God's blessing to Rome, right?"

"No, that must be God's favor for His Majesty!"

Looking at the excited crowd, Nero looked around, took a step forward, and said loudly:

"Everyone! Yu hereby promises that the arsonist will be brought to justice."

The snow came so fast that the fire was extinguished before it started.

In this way, those traces that should have disappeared in the fire will become important clues to find the arsonist.

"Rome is blessed by heaven, and this sudden heavy snow is proof!"

"However, I can thank God for his care, but I can't pin all my hopes on God."

"I hereby assure you that such a fire will never happen again in the future."

Lessons must be learned, the management of the night watchman must be strengthened, and no one will set fires again.

"Yu...be with Rome!"

Chapter 170 Seven You Sing Very Beautifully

Chapter 178 Chapter 170 Seven You Sing Very Beautifully

"Uh-huh."

Shirou couldn't help nodding his head, but he was thinking about treason in his heart.

This mythical heavy snow should be able to add a lot of points to Nero.

Those rebels who were originally dissatisfied with her may also change their minds, from sworn enemies to neutral parties that can be wooed.

Strike while the iron is hot, as long as you act fast enough, you should be able to wipe out the rebels.

"Yu is so excited that he can't sleep now, Qing should be the same, right? Do you want to sing a song with Yu?"

"Now?"

"Of course, the sky has just snowed heavily to save Rome. Isn't such a night the best time to thank the sky with singing?"

The singing sounded soon.

The singing voice, which is different from ordinary people, is highly recognizable, and gradually spreads farther and farther in the dark night.

Shirou couldn't help but stare sideways, listening silently.

Although it is not a touching song, the melody is good, and the emotion in the singing is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

After a long time, at the end of the song, Nero asked with a smile:

"How is Yu singing? Is it nice?"

"Well, you sing very beautifully."

"Huh...? Qing said something wrong, the singing can only be described as nice."

At this time, the door suddenly opened, and a beautiful woman who somewhat resembled Nero walked in quickly, accompanied by several maids.

She first glanced at Shirou with displeasure, and then looked at Nero with cold eyes:

"I just heard that you wanted to burn down the city of Rome in order to expand the palace, but I didn't expect heavy snowfall to make your plan fail."

"What? Mother, how could Yu do such a thing!" Nero's expression changed slightly, he stood up, and looked at her tit for tat, "The fire was caused by those rebels who are dissatisfied with Yu. For Rome, it is also a blessing for Yu."

"You really didn't do it?" Little Agrippina frowned slightly, and then breathed a sigh of relief, "I thought it was your willful behavior again, since it wasn't, then I can rest assured."

"Queen, in your heart, is Yu such a willful and reckless tyrant?"

"Isn't it? I've never heard of such a thing as promoting a commoner to a noble simply because of his victory in an athletic competition. Do you know how you are evaluated within the empire?"

"I can roughly think of it, but there are gains and losses. Yu's reputation among the common people should be pretty good, right?"

"What's the use of common people's reputation? The people who decide everything in this country are the nobles. If all the nobles oppose you, will your throne still be secure?"

"Well……"

Nero was silent for a while, obviously he couldn't talk about his mother, and he had nothing to say.

Seeing this, Shirou secretly sighed, and interjected:

"I don't agree with this statement. Those who rule the world are indeed nobles, but the power of common people should not be underestimated."

"Compared to the nobles, there are more common people in the world. But the reason why the nobles rule the world is mainly because the nobles have mastered knowledge."

"And knowledge is power."

"If there are nobles who let go of the restrictions on knowledge to the common people, free and universal compulsory education, starting from the army, let all the common people learn knowledge."

"At that time, compared to the huge number of commoners, what are the nobles?"

"In addition, for Nero, it is her best choice to enhance the power of the common people to check and balance the nobles."

"The prosperity of the world is all for profit; the hustle and bustle of the world is for profit. Cutting off people's wealth is like killing their parents."

"Nero's succession transformed the Roman Empire from a head of state to a monarchy."

"The transformation of the system has damaged the interests of a large number of nobles. The nobles headed by the Senate have a lot of hostility hidden in their hearts."

"The reason why they didn't rebel immediately, although there are many reasons, but the main reason is the lack of strength and lack of confidence."

"But the strength of power cannot remain unchanged forever. When the monarchy weakens, it is when they rebel."

"For this reason, the best way for Nero is naturally to introduce new forces to check and balance those nobles."

"Otherwise, we can only select some suitable people among the nobles, recruit a group, and suppress a group."

"The stability of power has always required checks and balances. Otherwise, the courtiers are united, how can the throne be stable?"

Nero and little Agrippina looked at him blankly, as if listening to a dream.

After a long time, little Agrippina was the first to react, and said in a deep voice:

"Nero, kill him immediately! Such a person, if he is not a famous sage in the future, he must be a great thief who will disrupt the world."

"Hey……!?"

Shirou was speechless, did I scare her off by talking too much?

It is true that compared with these ancient people, I am well-informed, and I may not be able to match their brains and resourcefulness, but my vision is absolutely unmatched.

"whee……"

Nero suddenly covered his mouth and laughed non-stop.

"I didn't expect that Qing would get such a high evaluation from my mother's place. If this is the case, do you want to stay in Rome as Yu's adviser?"

"Okay."

"Oh...! Don't you plan to go back to the territory? I heard people say that Qing's territory is well managed, and I originally planned to take time to visit it."

"It's just a rural village, and there's nothing to govern. Just let my father manage it for him. He's been a farmer all his life, so he happens to go there to enjoy a peaceful life."
