Chapter 6 Personal Contact (1)
"If a man is saddened by his wife's infidelity, he is undoubtedly a country bumpkin, and he has no idea of the morality of the capital." - Ancient Roman poem

Just as the people were in a state of raging force, two Curia servants ran from Capitoë Mountain, walked into the crowd, and announced loudly: "The Senate's order that they allowed Caesar's body to be transported to the Temple of Jupiter on the Holy Mountain for burning, and its statues can still be preserved in the temple."
"What are you talking about? We are now going to turn the funeral of Lord Julius into a huge condemnation of the murderer. This is a battle, and we don't need the enemy to give us a battlefield!" At this time, Amatius changed his mind temporarily.
At the back of the street, Li Bida was fully equipped with military uniforms and followed the team closely with the Sixth Corps, acting as the backing of their speeches. Anthony also cursed, and he shouted, "Ijulus, you were the most respected clerk and financial officer of Caesar during his lifetime. Now you are his command to pass on the needs of us, veterans and the people to the synagogue where the group of veterans are, telling them not to struggle meaninglessly, and let us say something we can accept!"
Ijurus had always been with Anthony, so he quickly took his entourage and asked the two Curia attendants to lead the way in front of him. So the two attendants were scared to death again, because they saw the people wearing mourning clothes, holding sticks, and the veterans were all wearing sharp blades, just armies full of anger and revenge, so they hurriedly rushed to the direction of the Holy Mountain, as if they were not leading the way, but running for their lives.
About one day, the second edict of the Senate came soon, "to allow the people to send Caesar's body to the Pompeii's Grand Theater where he was killed, and to hold a funeral."
This made everyone satisfied, so the team continued to carry the coffin, sang the mourning songs one after another, and walked towards the theater. When they arrived at the Citizens Square, Anthony asked everyone to stay because he was going to give a funeral speech to mourn the great Caesar.
At this time, Li Bida, who was always in the rear, coldly made a gesture to Hebrida and Sabo next to him, and then he passed the secret codes one after another to the team attending the funeral. Just when Anthony was still ready to go, the two military guards who had been punished by Caesar, namely Avenus and Vonteuth, suddenly ordered the soldiers around him to lift Caesar's corpse out and shouted, "Let Caesar in the Civic Square, this is the place to witness his lifelong achievements."
Then, before Anthony could react, the naked Amatius burst into tears, and immediately attracted everyone's attention in his voice. Several veterans then climbed to the highest surface of the meritorious pillar in the square, holding Caesar's blood-stained cloak, Amatius spoke generously, "Look at this cloak! People, although we have not visited the front line in person, many veterans present and heroes who have fought for the country should know this thing--yes, Julius has been wearing him on the battlefield, and when he fought against the barbarians, he rose this
The cloak is a signal of the decisive battle, inspiring you to move forward bravely with your sword; when the cavalry raided, he wore this cloak, and all the warriors followed him. But the most amazing thing is that no matter how dangerous the battle situation Caesar encountered, the enemy's arrows and stones did not destroy the cloak at all. It guarded the city of Rome and the heroes in the dark. The most legendary time, in Alexander, Caesar's ship was surrounded by the enemy, and he fell into the sea, but with a command document in his mouth, the cloak floated on the water, and he swam forward like this, knowing that the ships that were driven to the scene were rescued!"
Speaking of this, a wave of cheers broke out among all the people.
"What is this guy? Who allowed him to make noise here!" Anthony, who was left aside, was blinded before, and then asked Ijiulus angrily, but the other party was also dumbfounded. The situation changed too quickly and he didn't understand why.
However, no matter how much Anthony complains, he is embarrassed to ask Amathius to get out, because in this state, he will become the target of public criticism.
So Amatius continued, and he asked the people to watch the floating cloak, "But, all of you now look at this cloak, it is full of loopholes, and you should also understand how these holes were made--see, this hole was stabbed by Kasio, and this hole was stabbed by his favorite Brutu."
When the people saw the cloak full of holes and blood, they could no longer bear it. They swarmed and rushed to Caesar's coffin, rushing to pull down the hair from the body as a souvenir, and Amathius also shouted, "Take off his hair, anyway, everything he has to give to Rome, but without himself, he was cruelly killed by the enemy in the shadow, with eternal regret and resentment."
At this time, Anthony stood outside the circle in embarrassment, and from time to time he raised his arms and head, preparing to speak, but he couldn't even insert his mouth, so he could only go around and let Amatius spit and fly there. Then the most surprising scene appeared. At the mechanism in Caesar's coffin, a wax figure of his body was "whispered" and the timid woman around him immediately changed from the original mourning to the scream, because the wax figure was really too realistic, just like Caesar himself reborn.
Then, Amatius swung his finger, and many actors in robe costumes imitated Casio, Brutu, Casca, Dihimos and other murderers, slowly showing the people how they pierced the swords and the official body and made him die. There was also a rotating device underneath the wax figures and the temporary stage where the performers were located, so that the onlookers could clearly see how the terrifying and miserable "trauma" everywhere remained on their official body.
Everyone started crying and couldn't hold on to themselves, but this was not finished. In a burst of shock, people clearly saw that through the air of the square, on the large gables of the Temple of Venus, a statue of Caesar appeared. Because the distance was relatively far, it was difficult for people to tell whether it was a painting or a sculpture. But everyone believed that Caesar had become a god and had become a sage. Before he went to that world, he finally said goodbye to his beloved people!
Veterans, citizens, free people, foreigners, and Jews, regardless of gender, all bowed down.
In the temple there, several knights hired by Li Bida were commanding slaves. Using the principle of small hole imaging, they could make Caesar-related pictures into smooth drawing boards, and hang the same board on the temple gables to direct this grand drama of gods.r1152
