Chapter 291: Roman Turmoil
Julia. Misa knew that Clinkol's strength alone was not enough, and that the senators of the Senate, although they had been used as ornaments for many years, still had considerable weight in the minds of the Romans. Julia. Misa secretly visited the powerful senators one by one, reached a consensus, and won the support of the senators.
Klinkol was fascinated by Misa, and Macrinus's whereabouts were no secret to Misa. On this day, knowing that Macrinus wanted to leave the city of Rome and go hunting in the suburbs, Misa felt that the opportunity to do it himself had come.
Diadumenian's eyelids have been jumping for the past few days, and he always feels that something is going to happen, and when he learned that his father was going out of the city to hunt, he hurried to stop him, and Macrinus was furious, and said in his heart, If there is no Lao Tzu, how can you sit on the emperor's seat and rule Rome with me, and he opened his mouth and scolded: "You bastard, you dare to sweep Lao Tzu's Yaxing? ”
Diadumenian said: "Father, son these days, my heart is uneasy. Now the situation in Rome is not stable, and my father went out of the city without permission at this time, and I am afraid that there are people with bad intentions who will be unfavorable to my father. ”
Macrinus looked up to the sky and laughed and said, "Joke! Who would dare to do anything to me around the city of Rome? Are Lao Tzu's guards vegetarians? ”
Diadumenian's eyes swept over several Guards generals beside Macrinus, Klinkol couldn't help but feel a pound in his heart, fortunately, the helmet covered most of his face, only his eyes were exposed, Klinkol forced his composure and said loudly: "Please rest assured that the three thousand guards are all Roman elites loyal to His Majesty the Emperor, and will never let His Majesty the Emperor be hurt at all." ”
Macrinus glanced at his son proudly and said loudly: "My son, go back to the city quickly, there are still many important things waiting for you in the city of Rome." ”
Seeing this, Diadumenian knew that he could not stop his father, so he had no choice but to bow to his father and return to Rome in a huff.
Macrinus waved his hand and shouted, "Let's go!"
When Diadumenian came to the palace, he suddenly realized that something was wrong, looked at the captain of the guard beside him and said, "Why are there so many new faces in the palace?" ”
The captain of the guards looked around, and sure enough, most of the guards standing guard on duty were fresh faces, and shouted in doubt: "The guards line up to protect the emperor of the common rule." ”
Before the words fell, a coquettish smile came, and then the heavy palace door slowly closed, and a slender woman walked out from behind the shadow wall, closely followed by the two generals of the Guards, and Diadumenian recognized this woman as Julia. Misa, the two people around him are both upper-ranking generals in the Guards, one is named Liuxia Si and the other is called Guifengliu, and the relationship with the Guards Commander Klinkol has always been not harmonious.
Diadumenian exclaimed, "Julia. What are you going to do, Misa? Stay in Xia Si and stay in Guifeng, His Majesty Emperor Macrinus has always treated you well, why did you get together with this woman? ”
Misa laughed again, his eyes rolled, his beautiful face was full of endless temptation, ignored Diadumenian, and said loudly: "Guardsmen, I am the sister of His Majesty Severus, the late Emperor of Rome, Macrinus, who was mad, and as the commander of the Guard, did not hesitate to offend the great God and killed my nephew, the Great Roman Emperor Caracalla. The usurpation of the throne by the father and son of Macrinus and Diadumenian is a great rebellion. You are all loyal subjects of the great Emperor Severus and His Majesty the Emperor Caracalla, and I have contacted hundreds of thousands of Roman soldiers who are willing to help me kill the two Roman sinners, Macrinus and Diadomenian, and to support my dear grandson, the son of His Majesty the Emperor Caracalla, to ascend to the throne. Macrinus is now hunting outside Rome, and the commander of the guard is also a person loyal to His Majesty the Emperor Caracalla, Macrinus is now estimated to have become a ghost under the sword, a person like him cannot ascend to heaven, what awaits him is hell, a terrible hell. Diadumenian, as Macrinus's accomplice, will not escape this catastrophe and will also go to hell, and what awaits them will be a catastrophe. Guards soldiers, the whole palace is in my hands, take up your swords, slay Diadumenian, and be the duty of a faithful Roman subject. ”
Diadumenian watched many of the guards around him be moved by Misa's words, and shouted: "Don't listen to this woman's nonsense, my father, the great Roman emperor, is surrounded by people loyal to him, quickly raise your swords and kill this mad woman, I swear in the name of the Roman co-emperor, which soldier who can kill this woman will be rewarded with a thousand pounds of gold and a large piece of land, and he can become the commander of the legion." ”
Misa smiled: "Diadumenian, don't dream, look around you." ”
Diadumenian looked around, and at some point, thousands of people poured out around his hundreds of people, shields in the front row, spears in the back, staring at them.
The captain of the guard, who was a close confidant of Diadumenian, couldn't help but panic in his heart when he saw this, and said in a trembling voice: "Your Majesty the Emperor, what should we do?" ”
Diadumenian shouted: "At this time, only by risking death to kill the enemy can there be a glimmer of life. ”
The captain of the guard said in his heart, "A fool would die with you like this", and immediately turned his heart and said loudly: "We are all subjects loyal to His Majesty the Emperor Caracalla, Diadumenian, suffer death." ”
Macrinus galloped on his horse, bent his bow and arrows, and from time to time his prey fell in front of him. Looking at the rich harvest, I was overjoyed, and I couldn't help but feel proud, and said loudly: "Where are the guards? Pack up your prey with me, and we're going to enjoy this delicious meal tonight. ”
Half a day passed, where was someone to take care of, Macrinus was furious, looked back, where was there a person beside him, and panicked in his heart, could it be that the guards were eaten by large beasts? However, when he looked around, it was quiet, and it did not look like a wild beast, so he had to whip his horse lightly and look for the guards.
Hiding in a dense woods, Klinkol watched Macrinus slowly run over, and said to his cronies: "Shoot arrows together, aiming at Macrinus's chest." As long as you kill this guy and return to the city of Rome, you are all great generals, and the new Emperor will give you a great reward. ”
The dozen or so cronies nodded together and slowly drew their longbows. Macrinus scurried around like a headless fly, and when he saw the shadows of flags fluttering in the woods, he shouted: "Guards ahead? ”
Before he could finish his words, one arrow after another came to him, and Macrinus, who was born as a military general, waved the longbow in his hand and fired the arrows. Seeing this, Klinkol quietly drew an arrow, drew his bow, aimed at the war horse under Macrinus's crotch, and shot an arrow, hitting the horse, the war horse screamed, and the front hooves jumped high, throwing Macrinus off the horse.
Macrinus is a fool, and he also knows that it is impossible to escape today, after all, it is the Roman emperor, so he stood up in embarrassment and shouted: "What person? How dare you assassinate the Great Roman Emperor? ”
