"He defiled the pure youths with his obscene deeds." - Cessitas's Chronicles criticizes Tiberius' immorality

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Luga couldn't help it, his face really couldn't hold back, so he got up and retorted, "Why, doesn't this seem too strong in terms of personal intervention?" Although there is no need to vote on the election of so many judicial officers, the senators and the people still have the power to have a voice on the selection of people, and my statement just now has been approved by most people, that is, Cassiyo should be more suitable for the chief justice than Brutus. ”

"I'm sorry, but what was your reason?" Li Bida spoke again, the original sound of these senators stopped, and a senator next to Anthony also got up to speak, but was suppressed by Anthony, he was also puzzled by Caesar and Li Bida's thoughts, so he had to maintain a calm attitude of onlookers.

"Then I repeat, Cassiyo has a resume in both military and political affairs, and has ample experience, and he is obviously more suitable for this position than Brutus."

However, the work of the judicial officer has little to do with the military and political affairs, and it only requires a thorough knowledge of the precedents and laws, and the impartial handling of the case and the case. And Cassiyo. Longinus, as far as I can see, is of an excessively intense character, far less gentle and unhurried than Brutus, who studied philosophy, so I agree with His Excellency Caesar that you are not fit for this office. After speaking, Li Bida gave the appointed piece to Caesar in a burst of exclamations. The other party looked at the name on it slightly. He told the slave beside him to put his ring on it.

"You bastard. Why, in what capacity, do you question my character, this yellow-skinned stranger, and why do you think that I am not qualified for the post of chancellor! He felt a great insult and had a seizure on the spot, and then he rushed down and fought with Li Bida in front of him. But more people stopped him, and Cassiyo roared and cursed in the same place.

Anthony laughed, sat upright, and continued to applaud, as if watching a wonderful farce in the room, but Li Bida, who was standing in the center, was not moved at all, and he calmly stretched out his hand, "Look, that's why I said that Cassiyo is not suitable to be the chief justice." I ask all the clerks to record what he has just said. In addition, I am Caesar's lieutenant cavalry commander for the coming year. to announce this result on behalf of the dictator. ”

"Yes, gentlemen. I would like to announce that there will be no election of the consuls for the coming year, and that I will appoint my dear friends and deputies, Lybidaeus and Marco. Antony directly served as the cavalry commander, and at the same time shared the power equivalent to the consul, of which Antony was in charge of the Syrian province, and Li Bida was in charge of the Macedonian province, they each had six lieutenant generals, six legions of commission, and had diplomatic power with vassals and hostile countries, judicial power and recruitment power in the theater of war. Immediately after saying this, the attendants outside the synagogue sounded their trumpets, and then Caesar and Lepita turned and departed under the guidance of the procession.

And Anthony really laughed this time, that joyful, cheerful laughter, he did not hide himself, buried his head under his shoulders, held it with his hands, and almost had to convulse: Li Pida, this bastard, after coming to Rome, played too beautifully, directly using the chief justice, to divide Brutus and Cassiyo, let them contain each other's suspicions, so that Caesar's safety can not only be guaranteed, but also let this group of people stay in Rome City Dog-eat-dog, we will go to the east to command the battle, fame and fortune, "Wait." My great triumph is coming! With that, Anthony adjusted his breathing, let out a long breath, swung his toga robe triumphantly, stood up, looked at the empty seats in the synagogue, and looked at the empty seats in the synagogue, only Cassiio and Brutus were still there, and laughed, and then went down on his own, and also left, he could not wait to go back and share this rare good news with his wife Fulivia.

Brutus, on the other hand, slowly walked over to Cassillo, who was sitting still, and finally said, "I will go at once and ask Caesar to withdraw this recommendation." ”

"Withdraw, why? You must be very happy, my good friend, that you have replaced me as Chief Justice by a single order from the dictator. Cassiyo said mercilessly, which shocked Brutus greatly, he didn't expect that his comrades-in-arms, who had shared life and death in his mind, would turn their faces so ruthlessly for the sake of a public office.

"It's Caesar's trick, he's going to divide us!" Brutus was in a hurry, and he shouted out regardless of whether there was any eavesdropping in the synagogue.

But Cassiyo only sneered a few times, and then walked away without explaining his friends.

Brutus was left alone in the synagogue, and he was on fire, and then he gritted his teeth, and rushed out, and ran through the street, and came to the crowded Jucora Street, and he knew that Li Bida must be in the apartment above, because there were bundles of rods waiting below, so he ran up in spite of the obstacles, and sure enough, Li Bida was sitting on the rocking chair on the terrace, dangling, with his back to him, and then said softly, "Are you afraid to take on this position?" Just because Cassiyo thought he had been wronged. ”。

"It's your trick!" Brutus angrily leaned against the door frame and accused.

"It's a trick for us, but it's a test for you—if I think I can turn our fortunes around, then please spare Caesar's life." Li Bida still didn't look back.

"I don't know what you're talking about." Brutus calmed down, but his breathing became more and more disorganized.

"Alright then, I'll leave it to prophecy and fate to deal with, but Brutus, if you and I are hostile in the future, I will let you go, because I know that you will definitely let me go." After Li Bida said this, he stopped talking.

But Brutus was enraged by the arrogance of the other party, "How do you know that it is not you who are begging for my forgiveness when the time comes?" Then he felt that this seemed to be Li Bida's provocation, so he tilted his head, "I won't target any private person, let alone you." ”

After Brutus left, Lybida sat down in a rocking chair, then stood up and looked at the empty birdcage hanging on the terrace, which had previously been used to raise pet pigeons for Paruma, and where Porti had laid down to give birth to Leo, "Is it really a little older, I have been getting more and more fond of memories lately." He then leaned on the railing, next to a protruding wall of the kitchen and chimney, with a bird's-eye view of the street, "Was this where I waved to Caesar, who had successfully run for high priesthood?" Then Li Bida smiled, the wind of early spring swept his short hair, and the palm of his hand slowly stretched out, and inside was a note, with a line on it, "You can save Caesar three times to prove the truth of the prophecy."
