32. Assassination of Caesar
"What are you waiting for? Don't dare to act yet? You cowards! β
Tublis shouted and grabbed Caesar's corner. Pen~Fun~ Pavilion www.biquge.info Marcellus and Brutus and the others widened their eyes and trembled their bodies and did not dare to step forward, even if the plan was so thorough and smooth, everyone still had a lot of fear of Caesar in their hearts. They watched as Tubrice was overthrown by Caesar and fell to the ground, kicking him with his foot and screaming in pain.
At this time, Councillor Rodria rushed forward, grabbed Caesar by the waist, and struggled to remove Caesar from Tubris.
When the crowd saw that the action had begun and that there was no turning back, they went mad and threw themselves at Caesar.
Caesar was unguarded at this time, cronies. Antony is entangled by a group of creditors, Fabius is rushing home in a rage, and Morbius is entangled by a large number of nobles and senators, begging to solve various problems of excessive taxes.
"Quick, kill him! Don't let him catch his breath, or we will all not be able to escape this catastrophe! β
Marcellus stood behind the crowd and shouted, too old and weak to lift a dagger to fight, but behind him he encouraged and instigated the people to assassinate Caesar.
D*J Brutus rushed from behind Caesar and stabbed his sharp dagger into Caesar's side, and the great Julius Caesar roared and struck the traitor to the ground with one hand. As Caesar's former commander of the navy, D*J Brutus's betrayal was enough to make Caesar sad. The executioners could see Caesar's anguished eyes filled with tears, but unfortunately no one could understand him, and the crowd was just madly assassinating Caesar because he had violated their interests.
They clung to Caesar's body, immobilizing the great warrior, and then the dark and evil daggers stabbed into Caesar's body one by one. It wasn't until Caesar's body was bleeding from the bruises, and the white Toga was dyed bright red, that the curtain came down on a great giant's reform. Finally, M*J Brutus stood out from the crowd, holding an equally sharp assassination blade in his hand, looking at Caesar, who had fallen to the ground trembling and bleeding. At this time, M*J Brutus was undoubtedly devastated, although he had made up his mind ten thousand times before the assassination, but when Caesar was really lying in such a miserable situation in front of him, Brutus still felt pity, and he remembered his past years with Caesar. Those years when Caesar treated him like a son. This made Brutus's trembling hand unable to paddle down.
"Kill him, Brutus. There is no way back for you! β
Carenus shouted.
The crowd made way for Brutus. Obviously, this last sword was to be stabbed by this weak Roman.
"Brutus...... And you ......."
No one could know what Caesar was thinking as he lay dying, and people just looked at Caesar's eyes full of last care for Brutus, who raised his sharp dagger and stabbed it into Caesar's abdomen. Blood stained Brutus' robes, and Caesar's body stopped struggling and fell onto Brutus's shoulder. The atmosphere of the scene froze suddenly, and then the crowd erupted in frenzied laughter from the surrounding crowd because of the successful assassination of Caesar.
Brutus, on the other hand, knelt there, feeling the heat on Caesar's body fade until everyone had exited the hall and changed into clean clothes. The sun outside the hall shone on Brutus and Caesar, and dried blood stained their bodies......

Caesar was assassinated!
The assassination of Caesar, which shocked Rome, spread from the main hall of the Senate, and in half a day, it spread all over the streets and alleys of the city of Rome, and the civilians either hugged their heads and cried, mourning and remembering their leader, or surrounded in front of the Senate, demanding to find out the truth of the matter and arrest the real culprit. Others simply took advantage of the chaos to rob and rob the property of the wealthy, because Caesar's death was equivalent to the loss of order in society and the emergence of a power vacuum.
"This is a monstrous conspiracy, I heard that it was Brutus, it was he who killed Caesar!"
Calpurnia stood in front of Caesar's body and said angrily. As Caesar's living widow, Caesar's death made the world's attention focus on this otherwise ordinary woman for a while. Because everyone is suspicious, Caesar may have a suicide note that has not been published. And Anthony took this into account for the first time, he rushed to Caesar's house and made a grief-stricken look, but Calpunia did not tell anyone about Caesar's suicide note.
"It was not only Brutus alone, but many people who were dissatisfied with Caesar, and as far as I know, Marcellus and Rodria were also involved in the operation. What a herd of livestock. β
Anthony walked over and replied resentfully.
"Why didn't you stop them then! You should have been with Caesar! β
Calpunia then asked. There was still a trace of sanity in her almost collapsed mood, because Caesar had a premonition of the danger she might encounter next half a year ago, and repeatedly reminded Calpenia that once there was a storm in Rome and she was gone, then you, Calpunia, as my legal wife, must keep your sanity and publish the suicide note. That's probably what Calpurnia lives for at the moment.
"I've been pestered by a couple of creditors, damn it, I should have known it was a conspiracy by Brutus' gang to keep me in check, so that Caesar could walk into the Senate alone."
Anthony didn't seem to be contrived, in fact, what he said was true. But it had happened, and Calpurnia had no intention of finding out who was more responsible.
"Okay, so when are you going to hold the funeral?"
Calpenia didn't say a word, but it didn't say anything about the point that Anthony wanted to hear. This can't help but make Anthony a little anxious.
He interrupted Calpunia impatiently, and interjectedβ
"The funeral can be postponed for a while, and now the big problem is that after Caesar's death, there was a vacancy in power in Rome, you know? Now the law and order in the streets was in disarray, and without Caesar presiding over the internal affairs of Rome, there was hardly a uniform standard for people's actions. So, what I mean now is that a new person must be established as soon as possible to take Caesar's place and maintain the present social order in Rome, and that person will be Caesar's heir, and I think you must know that. β
Anthony asked.
Kalpurnia, on the other hand, pretended to be uninformed and indignant.
"I don't know about this, I wasn't there before Caesar died, the person who should be there should be you, and you, but you, are looking for me for this answer! I just want Caesar to have a glorious and dignified funeral now, Mark Anthony, if you still remember the old friendship with Caesar, help me take care of this funeral first. β
Karpunia replied.
"Damn, why don't you understand the urgency of the situation right now? Without normal order, can Caesar's funeral be held normally? The mob had already begun to loot the shops in the streets, and I, Fabius, and Appis, we didn't even have the power to use and command the vigilante patrols, they only obeyed Caesar's orders. So, we urgently need a successor, a leader! Got it? Calpurnia! β
Anthony was almost impatient, he didn't venture here to hear Calpunia cry.
