"Rabbi Ainus, Caesar is dead, Rome is in crisis now, you once said that Caesar was a tyrant, and in the past three years, you have seen the changes that have taken place in Rome, millions of civilians have jobs, they have land, they have spread Roman civilization to all parts of the world, and Rome has also undergone earth-shaking changes, the whole city has many more squares, waterways, large public facilities. Pen~Fun~Pavilion www.biquge.info Carthage was reinvigorated, and Corinth became the largest port in Greece. These are all proofs of the success of Caesar's reforms. Even if he is a dictator for a while, it is almost impossible to achieve these effects without dictatorship. And now, the 'tyrant' and 'dictator' in the eyes of the aristocracy has died, and has been assassinated in the halls of the Senate by despicable means. As soon as Caesar died, Antony became the supreme commander of the legion. And you know, Antony's ability to be a man and a man and a steward, let him control Rome, and Rome will fall into rebellion and division again. ”

In the chaotic streets, Apis put on his cloak and walked into Rabbi Ainus's mansion in Rome. Unnoticed, Apis found Rabbi Ainus, who had all but disappeared from public view. And Rabbi Ainus also understood the current situation, and he understood that Appis had come to him today not simply to catch up, but to discuss something important.

"What do you want me to do? My brother, I have heard everything you have said, say, your plans and arrangements? ”

In the face of Appis's sincere meeting, Rabbi Ainus also asked very directly. Because right now, there's not much time to catch up.

"I mean, we must be faithful to Caesar and honor his last wishes and prop up Octavian as Caesar's first heir."

Appis said earnestly.

"Caesar chose Octavian as his first heir? But I haven't heard about it. ”

Rabbi Ainus was a little surprised by Apis's words, and Octavian still had the impression that he was still a child. Was Caesar sure to appoint the heir as Octavian?

"Yes, you have not heard, no one has heard, Caesar has told me only one of these secrets. You know, Caesar had been suffering from epilepsy all the time, and even he didn't know how long he would live, and he was always worried about the future of Rome, and I accidentally saw him having a seizure, and he told me afterwards that his plan was ...... Yes, he chose Octavian, who was only fifteen years old at the time, and he asked me to keep it a secret. I expected Octavian to have received his suicide note by this time, and that he would come to us. Because right now, the only one in Rome who can confront Antony and keep him safe is us. ”

Appis replied sternly and "anxiously". Caesar also knew that Rabi Ainus had epilepsy, but Caesar told Apis about the heir after the seizure? This matter is not known to Rabi Ianus, but he has sufficient logic to believe Apis's words, because Seville is Caesar's lover, and Apis and Caesar are half related, and it is not impossible for Apis to tell Apis his plan in advance. As for what happened? Of course, this was just a temporary front for Appis.

It turned out that Caesar had chosen his candidate two years earlier. I suspect that he probably didn't expect to die so soon, or maybe Caesar wanted to rule Rome for another ten years, wait until Octavian came of age, and then pass the throne to him, and now, it was too late to wait for Octavian to grow. I will guarantee the safety of Caesar's heir, but we need manpower. ”

Rabbi Ainus returned in earnest.

"Yes, that's why I've come to you today. We need manpower, and I will gather all the veterans who have retired from the past, however, it is not enough for me alone, so I hope that you will also use your power to gather all your former comrades-in-arms and ensure the personal safety of Octavian after becoming Caesar's heir. ”

Apis returned.

"Then I'll go and gather my former comrades-in-arms now."

Rabbi Ernus said, looking excited. It was as if the sense of responsibility for history had been put back on my shoulders. A soldier is always a warrior, even if he has withdrawn from the battlefield for many years and his body is old, when he hears the horn, his blood will still boil all over his body. But Appis was more than just a warrior......

"No, wait. Until Octavian finds me, we cannot call back the veterans of the Ninth and Tenth Legions. ”

"Why?"

Rabi Ainus was clearly puzzled by Appis's words again, and although on the battlefield, Rabbi Ainus was a fierce general and was quite wise in strategy, but he did not know as much about Octavian as Apis.

"For if we had organized the convoy before Octavian had found me, then, with Octavian's character, he would have suspected that we had come prepared, that we were preparing this party for him, and that he would have worried about our motives and sources. So, wait for him to come to us, and then we will organize such a guard. In this way, his doubts can be allayed, but the work can be prepared in advance, after all, the matter is very urgent, if Antony knows about the suicide note in advance, Octavian and all of us are in danger, and the key point is that the future of Rome will be full of unknown catastrophes. ”

Apis explained.

……

"Appis, after the death of my uncle Caesar, the whole of Rome fell into turmoil and chaos, and Antony, the successor to the power of Caesar's legion, was searching everywhere for Caesar's possible suicide note, because without a suicide note, no one had the right to touch Caesar's inheritance, and Calpurnia could keep this inheritance for the time being, but not for long. And now, the suicide note is with me, and it is I who Caesar's heir has appointed. But I did not dare to announce this news, because Antony had a cavalry army in the city of Rome, and the law would be vulnerable to the violence of the army, so I came to you in the hope that you could help me organize a convoy to ensure my safety after Calpurnia read the suicide note. Of course, I'll pay double the price to these warriors. ”

On the afternoon after Apis went to Rabbi Ianus, Octavian appeared in a low-key manner at Apis' house. The content of the conversation was not as expected by Appis, and it was hoped that Apis would be able to organize a convoy to ensure his personal safety. And Apis and Octavian actually knew that at the moment in Rome, only Apis could organize a good escort in a short period of time, and these people were veterans of the legion after all. And Apis was their former commander, the Legion's Commander.

"Wait, Octavian, do you mean that Caesar chose you as heir?"

Despite all of this, in order to dispel Octavian's suspicions, Apis pretended not to know anything and was "surprised" to ask about the situation.

"Yes, it's a suicide note."

Octavian was so calm that it could be said that outsiders could not find the slightest expression of emotion on his face. As he spoke, he asked his faithful servant to bring out the richly decorated suicide note. Knowing that this was a document that would determine the future of Rome, Apis took it with both hands and looked carefully at the neat and elegant Latin script on it.

Two thousand years ago, Caesar's autographed suicide note appeared in front of his eyes, and Appis was undoubtedly very excited at the moment, if this thing was placed two thousand years later, it would definitely be a national treasure in Italy.

"It's true."

Appis shouted "surprised". Then, the relatives behind Octavian all looked at Appis in front of them with expectant eyes. Including Atia and Octavia......
