"Only those born free can speak freely in front of the public, this is true freedom." - Euripides

—————————————————————————

At Li Bida's suggestion, the "Akuta" that opens the Senate's deliberations was Caesar's first blow to the Senate. This was also the first official newspaper in the ancient European world at that time. Its status was equivalent to the current n. However, under the operation of Caesar, all the "n editors" who served as the mouthpiece were his subordinates, and he could still use this to deceive and induce the people.

For Caesar's political enemy, Catho, if his memory is correct, it was originally in the distant ancient times that the calendar was in the hands of the noble priests. Later, after the struggle of the people, the calendar was made public from those people. Even Cicero praised it (Cicero was not so supporter of the aristocratic republic, but rather the supporter of the laws and ideas of the republic). He once publicly said in the book collection: "What is the correct procedure? Only a few people knew, because the calendar was not published, and those who knew these procedures and received public consultation became those who held great power - people asked them questions about dates, just as the Chaldeans (that is, the ancient Babylonians, the descendants of these people in the ancient Roman world)... and I praise the Twelve Copper Tables because it abolished all such privileges."

In addition, Xiao Jiatu also clearly remembers that the ancient court procedures were completely controlled by the nobles, because the format of the lawsuit and the procedures of the lawsuit were all monopolized in the hands of the priests and the nobles. Imagine that civilians who don’t even know the calendar and the lawsuit can defeat the fraud of the nobles? So four hundred years ago, a builder named Gneus Fraveus, who was born in the son of Shinu, forcibly took out the fixed format of the court complaint from the high priest, engraved its entries one by one on several white wooden boards, and published them in the square so that all the people could see it. He also announced the court opening and court opening days, and wrote them on the board, so that the people would not be deceived when suing the court and lost the opportunity to go to court. At this point, the aristocrat’s arbitrary power over the legal affairs was also broken.

However, Cicero's praise for the Twelve Copper Denotations is obviously exaggerated. Just as Caesar's promulgation of "Akuta" to crush the Senate's secret deliberation, there are still many privileges that need to be continued to abolish in the Roman Republic. This is exactly the handle for Caesar to continue to open fire on the Senate, winning the support of the people, and refusing to feed.

But this is also the reason why Xiao Katu's monopoly on many fields may be the root of domineering in the eyes of the people. But if Xiao Katu's position was not a noble clan who devoted all his energy to the correct direction of the Roman ship and condensed his wisdom, those rude and unwilling lower classes would sooner or later lead the ship to the storm land and turn it into pieces. The more the lower classes know, the more dangerous it is for the country, but ambitious people will take advantage of this, and this is the case with Akuta this time." This is Xiao Katu's stubborn position.

But after Caesar announced the "Akuta" plan as if he was temporarily angry, he seemed to be leaving and did nothing in the next month, which made Xiao Katu and other nobles lose their fists. After the end of his rule month, Caesar readily handed over the power, his entourage and the stick to Bibruce, and did not even take away the clouds.

In fact, Caesar was conspiring to the next battle, and together with the other two giants, Cicero initially had doubts about the sneaky three people. In his letter to his friend, he once said suspiciously, "Is Caesar resolving the relationship between Crassus and Pompey and having the idea of ​​benefiting from it?"

As a result, after receiving the letter, his friend immediately secretly reposted it to Caesar because he had been bribed by Caesar and acted as a "monitor" of Cicero. At that time, Caesar was standing quietly in the courtyard of Libida's villa in Apiron, admiring the various rare flowers that were not withered in the atrium. More than a dozen confidential slaves were lined up and upright writing boards, posting or uncovering the "Akuta" of the meeting minutes of the Senate of Bruce. The snow like grass floated slowly above the patio. Libida was standing in front of the writing board and analyzing various information, "Pompey's proposal in the Senate this month has obviously encountered various discomforts, as always, and he should be eagerly looking forward to your governing month next month."

Caesar put Cicero's letter on a small table, pondered for a while, and then said, "What do you think of Cicero's guess? He is a suspicious and big-mouthed person, and his influence in politics cannot be underestimated."

"Yes, before Pompeii and Crassus have a complete coordination and proper relationship with you, and to organize the forces against the Senate, the three of you formed an offensive and defensive alliance, the fewer people spread, the better."

"How about leaving it to you to confuse Cicero," Caesar asked.

Li Bida thought for a while, then made a request, "It's OK, but I need a character to go with me."

"who?"

"Pompey's confidential slave, Demethlius."

At the foot of the Paladin Mountain, a slight snowflake fell on the dirt streets and soon turned into water. Demethlius, who was leading the horse, soon saw Li Bida in a Toga robe. He congratulated with a smile: "You have become a new Roman aristocrat who can worship wax figures of his ancestors, a gold ring, and a public office? In the future, I can't sit in the same seat as you in the semicircle giant theater built by his master. Congratulations."

"Dmitrius, you are becoming more and more like your master--there is a template-like smirk on your face."

"We can join forces to act together today. I can also swear in advance that it is related to the interests of my master, and I will never be rude." Demetlius's words were very refreshing. Li Bida nodded and said to him: "Today I will give you a sense of pride."

Sure enough, on the Paladin Mountain, in the villa under the poplar trees of Cicero, the person standing proudly in front of the gate was a Jewish man, and Li Bida followed him with his eyebrows down, like a follower.

"You are the messenger of General Pompeius - and you, you are Caesar's partner?" Cicero saw Demetrius' greeting full of enthusiasm, and when he saw Li Bida following him, he wanted to see the most difficult food in the world. His eyebrows and nose were frowned, and he couldn't help but feel secretly surprised in his heart - did Caesar and Pompei abandon their past grudges and finally conspire to be together?
