Just when Cicero was still dumbfounded, the attendant who seemed to be stuttering in the end added, "In addition, the Tebres people will authorize again. Since the Macedonian province does not need to expedition to Dacia again, then the six legions of Libidaus were originally under the jurisdiction of Anthony.√∟"
There was a whine in the synagogue, and all six legions were returned to Anthony. This was like a sharp sword hanging directly on the head of the Roman city. You know, Caesar was separated from the Rubicon River from that time!
As a result, the attendant opened his mouth and wanted to speak again - Cicero, Casca and others were almost ready to tear his mouth apart - "In addition, the Citizens also asked the Senate to vote on the issue of Shannan Gaul today."
"Shannan Gaul is already from Dihemoth, and this is also ruled in the memorandum before Caesar's death." Cicero hurriedly said.
"Caesar did not say that he would kill his own murderer. When I advocated respect for the memorandum just now, you were inciting the verbal advantage. Now you have no credit. If you treat a murderer who murdered the dictator, a bastard who took an armed sword slave to plagiarize the power of the province without any legal procedures, and still have to respect and reconcile, then where is the prestige of the Temple of Concord? I am now asking for this matter to be voted on based on my respect for everyone present. If you don't know the situation of this world, I can give the bill to the people to pass." Anthony ** threatened all the elders nakedly. "Even if the people hesitate, I believe that normal people and soldiers will grant me this power, and that is to avenge Caesar."
"I advocate giving Anthony this power. If Brutu and Casio's actions against the dictator are reasonable, then Diheimos's performance before and after Caesar's death can be said to have greatly harmed the order of this country." As soon as Anthony's words stopped, Caesar's heavyweight relatives Bisso and Kota suddenly stood up to support Anthony's request.
Then Barcelona and Ebro raised their hands and made an approval pose.
Then more Caesars' elders loudly supported him and demanded that Anthony be granted power to conquer Dihemoth in Gaul, Shannan. This scene seemed to be previewed. Many people even publicly provoked that if Anthony was asked to go to Macedonia to take office, then the four legions of Dehemoth would definitely attack Rome with personal grudges and implement a policy of massacre against the elders and the people. The city of Rome must transfer the power to Anthony.
Under this condition, Cicero, Casca, Sipinzel, Etius and others could only spread their hands and expressed that they would not object or obstruct the resolution, and then sat down.
But Brutu stood up and said to Anthony, "In what name is your expedition against Dihemoth? Is it against your previous agreement with the Senate?"
"Of course, it is for the crime of illegally obtaining the provincial chief executive." Anthony replied, since the Senate had compromised with him, he did not need to put "revenge on Caesar" by his mouth, and doing so would undoubtedly establish more enemies in the city of Rome.
"Then we need more guarantees!" Brutu threw out his thoughts, and then many veterans who had always admired him spoke out for support, "When the power of the expedition and the army entrusted to you, you must leave your mother, wife and all your relatives in the city of Rome and do not ask them to leave without authorization. In addition, the Senate needs to have absolutely no power to interfere with the appointment of the governor of the province below. Finally, the Senate will issue a special amnesty order for the two young Pompeys, and you must not stop it."
Anthony expressed his approval and said that he had no ambitions similar to Caesar and Li Bida. Then he stretched out his hand and said that the Senate could continue.
Finally, the Senate's bill was issued, "Appointing the legions of Spain, including the brothers of Pompeius who received pardons and the men of Rabinus, to form eight legions, namely the one, two, three, four, twenty-four, twenty-five, twenty-six and forty-one legions, and ten other alliance auxiliary legions to recruit the power, the supreme commander was Trelias. After leaving a proper garrison, the rest of the men drove as soon as possible to defend against the hostile acts of Libidaus against the Republic; but on the other hand, the Senate did not give up its peace efforts and must send envoys to the province of Nabo, informing the legions and the tribes of Gaul that had mutiny, and asked them to disarm immediately and wait for disarmament."
In this way, Anthony was completely defeated in this battle under Curio's counsel. At the grand banquet held at the Begalondi Manor, Cota, Bisso, Barcatus and other Caesars went to congratulate him, and poured Anthony, who was in extreme pleasure, and was drunk. It is worth mentioning that Eulabella also brought valuable gifts and openly resolved his past grudges with Anthony, flatteringly calling the other party "a brother-level figure" and "Roman's savior".
In a luxurious atmosphere, the two young men who had just become civil guards, Octavian and Leo, appeared at the banquet without invitation, stood blushing, had just vomited from the bathroom, and came out to come back to Anthony, who was drinking verbena water in her seat.
"Don't stand, you are at the age of drinking and not being scolded by your mother." Anthony smiled proudly, pointing to the two of them wearing black cloaks, boots, and a young expression. Then the actors and prostitutes around him burst into laughter.
"Father Anthony, after learning about your behavior in the synagogue today, I am generally relieved. I have changed my previous prejudice against you. It seems that you have always insisted on revenge for your adoptive father. In addition, many veterans of the former adoptive father, whether they are the legion generals or the centurion, have come to me these days. They slightly blamed me for not respecting you enough. So now, with this banquet and in front of the elders, I am willing to make a reconciliation with you and hope that you will become the leader of this cause." After saying that, Octavian stretched out his hand generously.
At this time, Leo was the first to applaud, and then Cota, Barcelona, Bisso and others responded. Anthony was embarrassed and struggled with his half-drunk head and shook hands with Octavian to make peace.
"Anyway, as civil guards, Leo and I will do our best to help you stay in Rome," said Octavian.
