"The great Julius Caesar was even confused, he even wanted to bring that Egyptian slut into Rome, which was simply challenging the moral bottom line of Roman citizens. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info it seems that our opportunity has come. ”

In Marcellus' private mansion, the protected Cventus swears. There is no lack of ridicule and ridicule of Caesar. The others present were not in the slightest of displeasure, for they were also Roman nobles whose interests had been harmed by the reform. These people also did not have a good impression of Caesar, and several key officials of the Senate even gritted their teeth against Caesar. They echoed Kventus.

"But the hope is still very small, Cventus, you must know that the Rome of today is not the Rome of the past, and Caesar has become a dictator, a dictator for life. And the politics of Rome as a whole is almost a matter of his own opinion. The Senate has become an ornament. His men permeated all corners of the country, and you can find Caesar's men in every important, non-critical post. Although they may not be as faithful at times, our people are hardly to be found in today's Rome. ”

Karenus replied calmly. The former senate of the Republic was almost killed by Apis in the Roman civilian revolt, so Carrenus also had a bitter hatred for Apis and Caesar. But he tended to be more sane.

"So? We have to use our skills, politics. What is Politics? That's deception and conspiracy. ”

Kventus stood up and said excitedly.

"And how are you going to deceive and conspire? Caesar was an extremely shrewd, intelligent man, and you can't fool him. ”

Marcellus asked, sitting in a circle chair. It was as if they were having a secret meeting, in a private back garden, where even the servants were thrown out.

"But we can deceive the population. Imagine how Caesar was victorious. It is to rely on mobilizing civilians, and without the support of civilians for him, he would not be able to get to where he is today. Civilians are the most stupid, they always believe simply what a person says. Because their eyes cannot reach our horizons and heights, their ears are only the noisy speeches and instigations of the market every day, and they cannot hear the deepest voices of this country, what we see, what we know, they do not know. So, these people are also the best to deceive. ”

"But what's the use of us deceiving them?"

The senator Metrius asked aloud.

"Distract him, my friend. Caesar's throne was not yet secured, his so-called reforms were not yet complete, and he still needed the support of the common people. Although the commoners could not be directly involved in our scheme, they were simple, and we encouraged them to protest, and we told them that Caesar wanted to be king. Even, we can bribe the leaders of the civilian faction to secretly lead the civilians to make trouble and protest in the streets and alleys. In that case, Caesar would have been busy dealing with the growing emotions in order to continue to gain the support of the common people and to appease the emotions of the common people. He will neglect to control the interior of the Senate, and then we will start from within, win the support of all the anti-Caesarists, and even, I thought, we will simply have a bloody plot to assassinate Caesar directly in the Senate. ”

Kventus said excitedly in the courtyard.

However, as soon as the words fell, it caused a commotion among the noble elders present. Yes, everyone present, everyone wanted to remove Caesar from power, but no one thought about using assassination, and even said that they did not dare to think about it. Although Caesar disbanded his Germanic guard a few days ago, he was always surrounded by many people, including his close friends, personal secretaries and slaves, who were loyal to him, and it was almost impossible to assassinate Caesar. Moreover, what everyone actually feared was that if the assassination of Caesar failed, what awaited them would be cruel punishment, that they themselves would be tortured, and that their families would suffer. Therefore, although such a plan is the most direct and fundamental, it is also extremely risky. The officials of the Senate were all in their pockets, and they still had a great fear of death.

"It's hard, you're going to push yourself into the abyss."

Metrius replied loudly again.

"But if we don't, we'll go even further into the abyss. Brothers, friends here, this is a great opportunity for us. Caesar's nouveau riche, who had been carried away by the exploits of these two years, was intoxicated by his so-called victory, and looked at his recent behavior, first asking Antony to present the crown, then to Egypt, bringing the queen back to China, and even erecting a golden statue of Cleopatra in the temple of Venus. He is like a proud general who has completely forgotten the existence of danger. And these events are all things that we can take advantage of. The people's trust in him is eroding little by little, and when the huge interests cannot be divided equally, everything has signs of resistance. ”

Cventus turned to the senator Metrius. He kept his emotions under control very well, and Kventus was much calmer than he had been two years ago. Perhaps it was the fact that he had witnessed too many ups and downs, the parting of life and death, the departure of his father, brothers, wives and daughters, all of which made this middle-aged man over thirty more mature, although this terrifying maturity was paid for in blood.

"But it's not enough for the masses to make trouble, we need more and more powerful forces. If the support of Caesar's people can be enlisted, then this conspiracy will be much more certain. ”

Karenus said, a sinister smile on his lips.

And such advice also silenced Kventus for a while. Apparently, he hesitated and decided to woo the object. There were not many people around Caesar who deliberately betrayed him. Carrenus knew that people like Antony, Lepida, and Apis would never betray Caesar. So the candidates? It became an object that they had to explore. Moreover, there must be such a candidate, otherwise, such a plan will still make many people present panic in their hearts.

"Cassius? Cicero? Alas, it is a pity that Cicero has gradually become Caesar's man, otherwise, Cicero is also one of the closest people to Caesar. ”

Marcellus admonished.

"Cicero is indeed one of the closest people to Caesar, but in recent years you have not noticed that he has drifted away from us and has chosen neutrality. Cicero was a cunning man, and now, he no longer deserves our trust. Cassius may be good, he is my father's subordinate, and he can only be regarded as a surrender to Caesar, and he does have some opportunities to get close to Caesar. However, he is still not one of the best candidates. However, I already have a candidate in mind. ”

Cventus cleared his throat and looked mysteriously at the Roman aristocratic senators who were seated in a circle.
