Chapter 21 Agent (Part 2)
"Although I had to express my complete respect for the prophecy of the Virgin, it really embarrassed me. I am Caesar, not the infamous king, and Rome had long buried this title in the tomb of history. [23[w]x" After Caesar finished speaking this conversation with comfort, he suddenly stopped and stopped talking, but sat on the throne and pondered, not knowing what he was thinking in his heart.
This passage originally made the elders feel relaxed, but only half of it. Whether Caesar would do what the virgins would say was "unclear".
After the whole scene was stagnant for a while, Caesar suddenly continued, "But the expedition, especially the expedition to Parthia, cannot be delayed. I don't think so. I hand over all the army and power. The veterans assigned celebrities to take over my position and complete the war against Syria, and retrieved the captured soldiers and eagle flags. How about it?"
These words were extremely lethal, scaring all the elders to sifting their siege. They hurriedly spoke together and refused to allow Caesar to retreat from their current position. At this time, Sipingzel and Luga took the lead in speaking, asking Caesar to consider the proposal he had returned to Rome, that is, to grant him the position of dictator again and serve as the chief consul for ten years. Who would have thought that Caesar had no expression of joy, but said directly, "If I want me to accept this proposal, in order to successfully prepare for the expedition, please admit that I have the power to appoint the second-level consul, the chief cavalry, the governor of the province and the twenty-four deputy generals. This appointment does not require the approval of the Senate and the Hundred-Man Group."
Then, the entire temple was silent like death. After a painful struggle, the elders said that as long as Caesar could pass the Tebris Monks, he could have the power he said. At this time, Caesar smiled with satisfaction. He thanked everyone for his care. In addition, please rest assured that on the Day of the Goddess of the Gorge, all new and old citizens in Italy, including the Gaul area, would come here for the general election, and I believe that I would get the results I wanted, because I have just been given the important position of "lifelong full power to protect the civil servants."
"In addition, a new bill may be introduced soon, that is, whether in a wartime province or in an ordinary province, the Governor, the former Chief Executive, will be revoked from the power to govern the army to fight, the military power of the province will be owned by the deputy generals appointed by His Excellency Caesar, and the financial power will belong to the envoys of the Executive Yuan - the Governor will only have supervision and judicial power in the future." Libidaus, standing by the throne, added, "In addition, because of the expansion of the territory of the Republic, His Excellency Caesar will be within three years.
We are preparing to further expand the scope of citizenship, and will be the first to grant Latin citizenship to Afriga, Cyrenega, Greece, Spain and other places, and then upgrade to Roman citizenship after the expiration. At that time, the number of official positions in the Republic will expand exponentially, and Caesar and the Executive Yuan are preparing to set up a Tebres assembly in Orleans, Ravenna, Utica, Corduba, Athens and Sinop. After electing representatives from each district, we will come to Rome to convene a general meeting. This is the future policy direction."
The elders below were already sweating, and a brave man looked up to argue, "Then what power does Tebris, the thirty-five Roman clans, have to decide state affairs?"
Anthony took over the conversation and said, "Rome? Rome will be the name of an empire in the future, not a narrow state itself. Any idea of trying to limit it to the seven hills is wrong and absurd. Caesar did not want the Second Alliance War to break out again. In the future, Rome will be the world, and the world will be Rome."
"Of course, in order to govern such a vast world, the role of the Senate is still very important. It is an indispensable state consulting agency. The country still relies on the advice of the elected fathers." Caesar said hypocritically that he deliberately downgraded the Senate to a "advisory agency" in his words, which was equivalent to announcing in disguise that the power it had originally taken from various institutions would be re-splied. "So I am determined to increase the number of senators to nine hundred. How should the extra 300 people be selected? Please see this." As he said, a centurion handed something to the leading senate. When Sipingzel saw that it was a sheet-shaped short slip, which was engraved with "through the agreement with the Senate and the Terbrees clan, Julius Caesar was determined to elect a national public office (space) as (space).
This is simply a blatant destruction of the Senate. Caesar is now a monster that combines the inspector, the civil guard, the chief priest, the on-duty chairman of the Senate, and the military dictator. In addition to not having the name of a king, his authority is greater than that of all the kings in the known world!
When the senators came out of the new temple of Venus, they saw many priests from other temples crying and carrying jars of gold, silver and holy artifacts into the newly built and most magnificent temple around the square. Banks asked the senior priest of the Flamen wearing an olive wood-edged sheepskin hat, what was going on.
"Don't you know? Venus will be upgraded to the guardian god of the Republic, and will be side by side with Jupiter and Juno. Caesar will soon collect Spanish gold, silver from Macedonia, and gems from Syria, and create a huge dove for this temple, because this animal is the same as Jupiter's eagle and Juneo's peacock, and is the body of Venus. Caesar respects the main god of his family, and also requires the people and priests of the whole country to respect it.
"It's over, Julius decided to be king. At this time, he was still like a senior official of the Republic, or a representative elected by the senators and the people? He was an absolute tyrant of Syragu, the Egyptian pharaoh. He must have been confused by the banshee of the Nile when he went to Egypt before." Luga next to him pulled Banks' robe in horror and said uneasy and fearlessly.
In addition, Merut, who once served as a priest and now transferred to the judiciary, also whispered, "The current high priest is Caesar's uncle Kota. I heard that he was being instructed by Caesar to gather fifteen priests in Rome to discuss matters and make a major decision on the contents of the Prophecy of Sybil."
"Major Decision", the word is truly like a major stone, pressing on everyone's hearts. Everyone understands what Caesar is doing. Now there is no one else except Caesar himself. Although these veterans used to break up each other in the synagogue and fight each other so lively, now everyone is restrained and unable to move like a demon.
