"Caesar's suicide note?"

"Yes, the person named above is Octavian. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info”

The day after Anthony left, Calpurnia secretly went to Aditya's house to find the "boy" whom Caesar had designated. Yes, Octavian did look like a boy now, he was only seventeen years old, his skin was delicate, his height was not very high, he even looked a little thin and vulnerable compared to people of his age, however, Capnia knew that Caesar was interested in Octavian's wisdom and ability.

"So, does Anthony know about this?"

Octavian did not show great ecstasy or surprise when he heard the contents of this suicide note, but asked about Carpunia about Antony with great vigilance and reason. This made Calpenia have to admire Octavian's calmness and wisdom. Yes, even at a young age, Octavian Turinus had already seen through the politics and power of Rome, and now, Caesar died suddenly, and the power of the army was concentrated in the hands of Mark Antony, and the cavalry commander of this Roman legion could assemble the legions at any time and march into Rome to replace Caesar in exercising power. However, he lacked one reason, one reason for him to rule Rome, and that was Caesar's mandate. So Octavian knew that after Caesar's death, Antony must have been the first to find Calpnia, because he wanted to know what was written in Caesar's suicide note.

"No, he doesn't know yet, I didn't tell him."

Calpurnia replied earnestly.

"That's good, but now, we can't directly announce this suicide note, otherwise, with Anthony's character, he will definitely send someone to snatch this suicide note, and declare this suicide note to the outside world that it is fake and forged. And we don't have reliable allies around us, and even if there is legal approval, there is no way for me to resist in the face of violence. ”

Octavian calmly analyzed again.

Atia nodded in acquiescence. At this time, Calpenia felt more and more Caesar's ability to choose people, and although Octavian was only seventeen years old, his thinking, his wisdom surpassed that of ordinary adults. And Atia, on the surface, is ordinary and simple, but she also has hidden wisdom in her heart. She has covered many dangers for her children.

"So what are you going to do now? Anthony will find out about it sooner or later, and I won't be able to hide it for long. ”

Karpunia said worriedly.

"I have to find allies, as many allies as possible. If Anthony knew about the suicide note, then he would have targeted me, and I would have lived under his violent hostage. Although his troops in Rome were small, they were enough to threaten my safety. And I, I had to find someone who could help me through this. Lepida is the only figure under Caesar who can match Antony's power, but now that he is in Spain, and, even if he returns, with his power, I can't guarantee that he will not rebel against me and take Caesar's inheritance himself, so he is not the best ally. I thought of the most suitable person - Appis. ”

There was a lot of wisdom hidden under Octavian's immature face, and his analysis of the current situation amazed and amazed Calpunia, who seemed to see Caesar's last wish successfully spread across the land, and Octavian would inherit his empire. Twenty years of prosperity and prosperity that brought Rome.

Apis, on the other hand, had no concept for Calpurnia. Yes, Apis almost retired from politics after stepping down as the commander of the Tenth Legion, and people only know that he has accumulated a large fortune through business and trade and buying and selling real estate in the past few years, but as for whether this person has political ambition and political ability, almost no one knows.

And Octavian also took a fancy to the fact that Apis was not well-known.

"Appis? Is that the son-in-law of Seville? Oh, it's too risky, he and Brutus are even related. ”

Although Calpenia did not have much impression of Appis, he did not object much out of belief in the principle of Caesar's heir, but warned Octavian of the risks of doing so.

"Yes, but if he was on Brutus' side, then why was he not involved in the whole assassination plot? And, as far as I know, before my uncle was assassinated, Apis had repeatedly persuaded Caesar to send more men. By all indications, Apis was by no means a person related to Brutus. ”

Octavian calmly explained.

"Okay, but how can he keep you safe during this time? Also, how can you be sure that he won't go to Anthony? In the current situation, before the suicide note was announced, everyone knew that Anthony was Caesar's most direct successor to power. How can we guarantee that Apis will not rebel against us? ”

Karpinia was still a little worried, after all, at the most dangerous moment, Antony did not dare to move his mind for the time being, but after the suicide note was announced, how to ensure that this huge asset was successfully transported to Octavian was still in danger.

"First of all, Apis had this ability, because the people who followed him around the business all these years were not ordinary Roman citizens, but retired veterans of the Tenth Legion, who had fought in Gaul, Germania, Spain, and Africa. As far as I know, Apis even used this group of people to help him collect his debts. Antony, on the other hand, had an army in Rome, but it was only half a cavalry, so in terms of personnel security, as long as Apis regathered the veterans of the Tenth Legion scattered throughout the city, our safety could be guaranteed. As for whether he will rebel or not? I'm sure he won't, because as far as I know about him, Apis doesn't like Antony, and his relationship with Antony isn't ideal, and I believe he's a 'right' man who will be loyal to Caesar and respect Caesar's heir. ”

Octavian said, setting his sights on Octavia, who was hiding behind the stone pillars, and the stakes were probably only known to the three of them. Yes, Octavian had known about Octavia's relationship with Apis, and the reason why he didn't break it was because he thought that one day he might need Apis, and now, such a scenario has appeared.

"Well, Octavian. Now that you've figured out the strategy, I'll trust your judgment. And Adiya, when do you think it's appropriate for me to publish this suicide note? ”

Calpurnia asked.

"Tonight, I will go to Apis, and after negotiating with him, you will wait until all the veterans of the Tenth Legion have regrouped, and then you will publish the suicide note to the people of Rome. As for the specific date, you can wait for me to know. ”

Octavian replied calmly.
