Chapter 29: Loneliness (Part II)
And just now is the first time for Li Bida, if Cassiyo and Brutus turn around and part ways, then they will really change the trajectory of history, and they can let go of all the preparations they have prepared before, and it is enough to be a rich man with peace of mind.
So when he told Li Xilia this idea, Xi Zhennu gave this note, and said to Li Bida with great confidence, "The content of Sybil's prophecy is all the answers, without any distortion and change, otherwise you can sue Caesar directly, and it doesn't matter, you will naturally understand better at that time." ”
As a result, according to Caesar's invitation in advance, Li Bida went to the Grand Theater of Pompeii with many of his staff to watch the opera "Taris", but the knights first stood in front of the theater to install the statue of Pompey, which was a recessed wall, and when welcoming the dictator and the cavalry commander, Caesar greeted them very graciously, and then the crowd of knights burst into warm applause, because they all understood that the biggest goal of the Tribus people's meeting this time was to re-establish the knights' court.
"Pompey, who, when he was consul, united with Crassus, restored the knightly court, entrusted the trial of cases to the knightly class, and then drew a third of each of the senators, knights, and popular hundreds, to serve as the voting jury, and it is fair to say that Pompey was just, but when he ceased to be consul, it was annulled by an edict of the Senate, and His Excellency Caesar wanted to restore this reasonable system." In front of the statue of Pompey, Li Bida explained this to everyone, and then the knights cheered even more enthusiastically. Because of course they understand this bill after the pass guò. How great the benefits are for the class to which you belong. It seems that there is nothing wrong with keeping Caesar in office as a dictator for five or even ten years, it is much better than the previous policy change at a moment's notice, so they hugged each other and almost carried Caesar and others into the theater.
Then, when the knights were seated in the front seats, Caesar, Lybida, Ebro, Barsatus, Antony, and others all sat together, and Caesar arranged his robes and sat down, and the rest of the people took their seats. Caesar was in a good mood tonight, but during this time his expression was obviously a little wrong, either too gloomy or too excited, and sometimes the corners of his eyes and mouth would be crooked, for example, tonight he was very happy because of the support of the knightly class just now, because Caesar of course understood that as long as the knight's court was set up, this class would provide a steady stream of financial support for his expedition.
"In the future, the patriarchs will gradually only be honorary titles, and I don't need them to hinder my policies, and in the future, the affairs of the province and the army. I need more and more riders involved. Caesar then stressed to those around him, "This must be done quickly." This time the people's assembly will have to pass guò, Libidaeus you are responsible for this bill, do you have confidence? ”
"As long as you bypass the Senate, the affairs of the People's Council are completely your world." Li Bida replied very quickly.
Caesar nodded in satisfaction, and then when the announcer stepped down, the whole theater fell silent, and Caesar smiled and asked Li Bida, "You funded this play." ”
"Yes, I hope Your Excellency can appreciate the inner side of this drama." Li Bida said.
Then the chorus appeared in unison and sang, "No, Hector, take up your weapons and run to the Allied camp, wake them up from their slumber, let them pick up their spears and prepare for battle!" ”
Then the actor who played Hector, dressed as a general, chanted, "The news you brought was scary and exciting, but you didn't make it clear. ”
After a verse, the chorus began to sing the second stanza, "The Argos (Mycenaeans) are lighting a fire, and the dark sky is red, Hector." Rows of battleships with dazzling torches, and thousands of soldiers rushing towards Agamemnon's tent in a clamour, aloud asking for any new prophecy, had never been so alarmed by the enemy who had crossed the sea. We were worried that something might happen, and in order to avoid repercussions afterwards, we hurried here to report the news to you. ”
"Hector" lamented to the heavens, "The enemy over there tried to flee from the land in the night, and the torches they lit convinced me of this." Why, o god of fate, take away my opportunity in this moment of victory, as if it were the prey of a lion? ”
When the drama reached this point, Li Bida suddenly applauded, he needed to use this line to remind His Excellency the Dictator, and Caesar also applauded, and he exchanged opinions with the people around him, "This is simply an encouragement for the future expedition, and tonight's drama is simply worth it, gentlemen." ”
"No, Lord Caesar, now you are Hector, wake up from your slumber, and continue to take up your spear and fight against the enemy in the light or in the dark." After a while, Li Bida, who couldn't help it, reminded directly.
At this time, Anthony's expression on the other side changed greatly, his hands were trembling, he felt that Li Bida had seen through it, and he was hesitating to hand over the list again.
And Ebro, Barsatus and others are still unaware, and the tribune Tepunyutas, who is related to the assassination group, is pale and in a cold sweat, I don't know if Li Bida will shake out all the things below, and everyone will be dead at that time!
As a result, Caesar stretched out his hands, held Li Bida and Anthony on the left and right, his face became calm, and he just said, "Let me finish what I need to do with peace of mind, and fate will arrange everyone's roles." ”
Now it was Li Bida's turn to be confused, and the whole scene was quiet again, and the loud singing began again, when a slave walked in, walked to the seat, and said to Li Bida that there was some affairs for the expedition that he needed to deal with.
So Li Bida got up and took his leave, but at the moment of leaving, Caesar said very clearly, "It will be the Wolf Chase Festival soon, and you will all come to participate in it at that time, and after the celebration, I will have a banquet, which will be set up in the Pulema villa owned by the cavalry commander Li Bida, and I will also appoint guests to attend at that time." ”
When the play was over, Caesar said goodbye to everyone one by one, and then there were only a few slaves with torches and weapons, "Tell them that tonight's plead is over, and I am going back to my house, and everyone needs to rest when they are tired." Caesar told the slaves to block the shouting complainants who kept pouring out of the theater exit and in the streets, and then a man disappeared into the dark streets under a cloak of wind.
