Chapter 24 Aquila Conferring the Head (Part 2)

Below is a voice of "escape from Rome as soon as possible", as if they are no longer the special fathers who relied on the lintel and Guangyao family to govern the Republic, but are like thieves and robbers who fear the sanctions of inspectors...≦

"Why do you do this? Why do you have to? The situation has not deteriorated to the point where it cannot be cured. Previously, I, Cicero, could save everyone under the authority of Anthony, and now I can turn the tide again under the front of Li Bida." At this time, Cicero, wearing a purple-edged robe, spoke again with full of vigor and confidence.

It is obvious that Cicero once again became the focus of attention, which greatly satisfied him. Then Cicero proposed the plan to "please, tolerance, and reconciliation".

First of all, Casca and Spinzel need punishment. They directly participated in the assassination of Caesar (this was carefully counted by Cicero himself in the Senate). Except for those who were dead or fled, the rest were treated equally with Casca. The Senate tried its best to impose a "moderate punishment" on these people within an accessible framework, that is, depriving them of political reputation and future, ordering them to live in seclusion, and even exiling to remote areas such as Crete and Respos, to calm the anger of Caesars such as Libida and Octavia. This is called "pleasure".

Then, Li Bida's reputation was restored, and he was given the title of Chief Official who had originally deprived Gaius of the title, and promised him to serve as the chief envoy of the two provinces of Sardinia and Sicily, and assigned him sixteen entourages to the squad, and promised him to be the candidate for the consul for the coming year and promised to be elected - because the enlistment of Tlureas was bankrupt, and this "political payment" was temporarily idle, which was called "tolerance".

In the end, as long as Libidaus gave up his march into the city of Rome, the Senate issued an appeal. An indiscriminate amnesty was made against the entire Caesar party, reaffirming respect for the Caesar memorandum and the established laws, and reasonable redistribution of provinces and legions to eliminate any struggle. As for the remaining Pompeii, the amnesty order will be temporarily withdrawn to wait for the situation to ease and then raise it. This is the "reconciliation" mentioned by Cicero.

"It's total nonsense." The judge Etius first rebuked. "How clearly Cicero showed his speculator's face. He was a bat from the countryside, but he was selling his poisonous feathers everywhere. This policy that was of no benefit to the country in the long run should be written in the form of Akuta, and then criticized by anyone one by one, and posted in front of the Grand Plaza and the assembly hall. Now, relying on authority and army, Libidaus has committed such a cruel crime against the Republic and the officials he appointed, but we still need to appease him? Is this still the republic that the people have hoped for? Can it still provide a support for all good?"

"Then what do you think should be done?" Sipingzel asked Etius in distress.

"To the end of the bloody battle, Li Bida is no different from Caesar at that time. It is also no different from the Gaul barbarians three hundred and fifty years ago. They are going to rush into the great city of Seven Hills. The city built by the great Romulus, destroy its pride and glory, poison all the elites, and build a kingdom of foreign barbarians on its ruins. The altars, stoves and families of all of us will be gone. If they do not choose to die in gloriously, they will be reduced to slaves. Therefore, we should now recruit soldiers in Italy and resolutely block these murderers. If they are unable to do so, then they will die in gloriously - just as Scipio sighed on the ruins of Carthage, the descendants of the Queen of Phoenicia have disappeared, so when will it be the turn of the descendants of Aeneas?"

However, Etius' passionate speech was not recognized at all. The elders began to vote after whispering. In the end, four hundred and eleven people agreed with Cicero's proposal, and one person opposed it - this person was undoubtedly Etius.

"This kind of vote is a waste of precious time without fail." This is Cicero's comment on this, and then Brutu and Casio were declared public enemy, and Urabella was declared public enemy, and the amnesty order for Pompeii Party was shelved without restrictions.

Then, the acting legal officer Malulas was "in danger" again, because in the eyes of the Senate, sending this stupid person to deal with Li Bida was familiar with the road. As a result, Malulas was sad and sat in a light car pulled by a mule and began to travel towards Brindisi, because there were three legions of Li Bida, Thirteenth, Fifteenth and Isthmus. If nothing unexpected happens, Li Bida will also arrive in the short term, so that when he arrives there, he can meet the other party, instead of missing out on the last time.

But Malulas was wrong again. While Aquila's body set out on his journey to Rome, Li Bida sat on the transformed "Calabia" and took the camp to quickly cross the Strait of Messina, and then came to Port Brindisi without stopping.

There, all the generals gathered around him. In the tower where Pompei lived in the past, Li Bida held a joint meeting. The theme was nothing more than "going north to deal with the affairs of Gaul and Roman in Shannan, and then confronting the murderer group."

"All the officers and soldiers of the army who followed me not only had generous wartime allowances and rewards, but also had double the amount of money and land for the retirement. As for the income from the extermination of Dehimos, Brutu, Casio and Ulabella, regardless of the purpose of the income was arranged during Caesar's lifetime, they were all given to the soldiers." Li Bida leaned on a gilded baton, and the clerks and slaves next to him recorded without stopping, but many people noticed that Li Bida's words did not include the name "Marco Anthony", which shows that he still took into account the incense friendship of his comrades.

"Curia was promoted to commander of the Isthmus Legion, and now he crossed the sea and returned to Epirus, monitored the movements of Brutu and Kasio, and closely contacted colonial cities such as Lisa and Sarona to raise war preparations."

"Order Sabokemus, who guards Libida Fort, cooperate with the fleets of the vassal kingdoms such as Ubertnia, Gerasha, and Bosphorus, and ask Thrace to provide a minion army and intercept everyone on the public enemy list!"

"His Excellency Caesar's three legions left in Alexander during his lifetime, and now he unified the commander Lufio, sent a letter to him and Queen Cleopatra, providing ships, carrying two of them to besiege the island of Crete in Kasio, and a legion went to Syria to assist in defense and guard against Parthian invasion."

"The Twenty-Eighth Legion and the Seventh Legion then returned to Sardinia to monitor the battle situation in northern Italy and Spain. Our fleet cut off all sea transportation in the Tyrrhenian Sea and the Adriatic Sea."
