Next, neither of them said anything more.

When the day the senators voted, the sun shone slanted to the square, Marseilles on the bronze bow podium, with the pride of the winner, clenched his fists and delivered a speech to everyone, "In order to avoid Caesar becoming a dangerous dictator and butcher, I appeal in the name of the consul to conduct a secret voting activity immediately."

Then he ordered his entourage to erect a bronze plate with the first voting topic engraved, "Would it be time to end Caesar's governor's term?"

After about one day, the statistics came out, and most of the veterans voted for approval.

Then, Marcelas began to announce the second voting issue, "Can we allow Pompeii to once again be granted the military commander of the nature of the country in times of crisis?"

The voting delayed a little longer. A considerable number of swinging veterans originally only hoped to rely on Pompey's prestige to fight Caesar, and had no intention of making him a potential enemy that was more dangerous than Caesar. However, Bibruce and others kept urging him in private in the venue, but the final result was still mostly agreed.

"Then, Caesar will be done! We still won the final victory." Marcelas held his hands on the bronze bow podium, preparing to officially announce the handling of Caesar's behavior, and unexpectedly happened.

A voice suddenly came from the corner, "I exercise my veto power!"

The sound was not loud, but Marcelas quickly recognized it. It was sent by Curio, the thin and inconspicuous civil guardian, standing under an open colonnade. His veto was much more timely than Barcelona's previous one. Li Bida, the official of the branch, smiled and stood beside Curio.

Xiao Katu on the podium also saw this scene. He almost turned black in front of him and immediately understood: Curio was actually a loyal and treacherous man wearing a mask! He was angry and pushed Marseilles away, pressed his hand on the podium, shouting at Curio, "Even a civilian protection official now, he has no right to veto the order issued by the Senate during the martial law period!"

Everyone in the entire venue was quiet and suppressed by the shock. Only Xiao Jiatu's angry shouts were still echoing.

"I will reiterate that I, the civil guardian, have all the two bills issued by the consul, and I will veto the two proposals issued by the consul. In addition, I will propose a new motion, that is, Caesar and Pompeii, to dissolve all the legions they own at the same time. This motion will be submitted to the Senate for a vote." Curio's tone was unyielding, "If the Senate does not accept it, I will summon the remaining nine civil guardians. Once the ten people remain consistent at the same time, the Senate must force a vote on this motion. If the Senate does not accept it, the civil guardians will disband the Senate on behalf of all state citizens! This is the greatest power of the ten civil guardians. Can I exercise it? Or is it just a false text."

"Execute the vote." Xiao Jiatu was discouraged. He didn't have the courage to break the rules of the Republic with his own hands.

The vote for Curio's motion was soon released, with 350 votes in favor and more than 20 votes against (mostly Pompei and Gatu's best friends). Less than 200 veterans abstained from the senate. Then Curio asked to announce the result of the motion in public, "By the New Year's time, Pompei and Caesar ended their term as governor at the same time, and disbanded the legion at the same time, and handed over the organization to the Senate."

Such a result was long after Li Bida's calculations. In fact, the reason why most of the elders were bullied was not that they supported Pompei, but that they were just afraid of Caesar, but now Curio's new motion is to require these two guys to collectively destroy their martial arts. This is actually the best result for most people. In addition, Curio's proposal is very fair. If Gatu and others want to refute it, they can't find any flaws at all.

"I have received the exact news that Caesar has taken ten legions to cross the mountains and headed south towards Italy!" The new second-in-chief Dumijius, dissatisfied with the vote and shouted.

"This is completely nonsense. The second-in-Chief may be time to learn mathematics. Maybe his mathematics was taught by the fitness coach. Caesar now has three legions outside Rome. Where did ten legions go south?" Li Bida retorted.

Then, Curio emphasized that since his motion was passed with such a large voting gap, it has become a standard edict of the Senate, and everything must be implemented on January 1 of the New Year, without waiting until March 1.

That night, Pompei's slaves ran around the city of Rome, and the invitation letters to the banquet at Alba Villa were delivered to almost all the nobles, half of which were Caesar's party figures, Bisso, Spingzel, Kota, and Curio, the new reversal general's civil guardian, and of course, Caesar's plenipotent representative Li Bida.

Li Bida took a group of civil guards to go there, Anthony, Paulus, and Barcelona, ​​and joined together and entered the villa courtyard.

It was almost a showdown moment, "I think Caesar has a relatively compromise plan?" At the banquet, Pompei began to ask Li Bida, who was busy eating and drinking.

"Yes, that is, Caesar can give up the consul for the coming year, but must seamlessly succeed the governor of Shannan Gaul and Illyria. In addition, the new governor of Gaul will be taken over by His Excellency Bisso, rather than Gabinus proposed by the Senate. Caesar also requests that two regular legions be retained, and the organizational numbers of the two auxiliary legions remain unchanged. Based on this, everyone is still brothers and friends, and can also discuss the future of this country."

Pompei pondered and the whole banquet was in tranquility. No one had any extra words to say, either busy eating or waiting for Pompei's decision. At this time, everything was to look at the communication between Caesar and him.

But Pompey couldn't think for too long - Marcelas, and Gatto mobilized a large number of veterans to enter the banquet temporarily. Among them, Marcelas was holding a beautifully patterned sword. Demethrius hurriedly stepped forward to take the sword and handed it to the master.

"Geneus Pompeii, I am here to seek your opinion now. There are only one such consultation, that is, are you willing to take this sword and turn into the shield of the Republic?" Marseilles asked loudly, "If you can agree, then the Senate will now authorize you to conscription in all Italy, from the north to the Rubicon River and the south to Brindisi. And I will join Dumigos, and on January 1 of the coming year, I will publicly recommend you to Diktito of the Roman Republic, and you will become a consul without colleagues!"

With a "hula", Li Bida stood up, put down the napkin, pushed the dish and wine glass away, and then turned around and left without saying a word. Curio, Anthony and ten civil guards all followed closely.

Because Li Bida no longer needs to spend more time, the showdown trick has ended. From the moment Marcelas sent the sword, he knew Pompeii so well.
Chapter completed!
