"He who knows how to say it, he knows when to say it." - Spartan proverb

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

Cicero immediately seized on this handle and lashed out at Antony, his henchmen, and even his relatives, and directly declared Antony the successor of his stepfather, the fierce flame, and wanted to eradicate him mercilessly, just as he did with Catiline back then, so as to preserve the peace of the republic.

Then, Cicero pointed directly at the young Caesar who was standing there, and said, "I grant this boy the right to conquer, because he has this prestige, and the army can accept his leadership!" ”

At this time, the patriarchs of the opposition booed loudly, expressing their extreme dissatisfaction with Cicero's arbitrariness, and one shouted, "He is not old enough, I do not believe that he can suppress the legions, and if there is even the slightest mistake in such a thing, the consequences will be destructive." ”

Someone else sarcastically said, "Cicero, your son-in-law, has already set out from the port, may I ask what to do with Anthony if he is a public enemy, and what should he do with Eurabela, and isn't the party of the public enemy also a public enemy?" ”

"If Anthony is an enemy of the public, Eulabella is treated equally, and I have no intention of bending the law for personal gain in the matter of supporting the republic." Cicero's reply was resounding.

Soon the news came again that Brutus and Cassiillo, with a small number of followers and a seal granted by the Senate in advance, had escaped from the city of Rome.

The patriarchs also made loud cries, some sad and some heckling. In this way, Cicero's party soon gained the upper hand at the resolution level. But Cicero's tone became extremely harsh. "Who gave Brutus the seal of the Administrator privately, without the necessary procedure? We need to get to the bottom tonight and find out these guys who have been shielding the murderers. With that, Cicero denounced the secret vote against Etius, Spinzel, Casca, and Banks, who had not yet had time to escape.

Octavian, however, begged not to do so, but in a very conciliatory tone. Saying that his purpose is Antony, because Anthony is the bastard who embezzles the inheritance, and the escape of Brutus, Cassiillo and Eulabella also proves that these three are the masterminds of Caesar's murder, "I have no intention of bringing the city of Rome into chaos and slaughter, I am just a child who wants to avenge my adoptive father and limit one qiē to a reasonable range, and I don't want to affect the rest of the people at all, so I beg your help, in terms of official position, in prestige." "Finished. Octavian was like a child asking for advice from a teacher, delivering a word board to everyone one by one. It is inscribed with Anthony's guilt and the necessity and legitimacy of giving him authority.

When the board was handed to Casca and Spinzel, their sweat continued to seep and their hands trembled, but after thinking about it, they were ready to take the pen and ink from the clerk's hand, ready to compromise, and sign and seal it.

"Idiot, don't sign!" Aetius and Banks, who were on the other side, shouted angrily, but could not stop them, and then the soothsayer Merut also signed, and when the wordboard was delivered to Aetius and a few others, they turned their faces away with all their might, expressing complete and complete rejection.

But Octavian was still humble and polite, and did not say anything offensive or excessive, because the attitude of Aetius and a few others was completely useless, and the resolution was already passed - Octavian had the command of the six and twelve legions of Lucania and Brindisi, and he was given the power of acting archcounsel to replace Gaius, who had escaped, and Cicero was still unsatisfied, and attached a bill of personal rights against Octavian, that is, in the name of the republic, he was given a golden statue to stand in front of the synagogue, and reinstated the statue of Lypita (Cicero certainly wished to show favor to him) and announced an amnesty decree for all except Antony.

Having completed these matters in one fell swoop, Cicero continued to request a vote on the declaration of Antony's public enemy, and his tendency was to immediately appoint Panza, Herjus, and Caesar the Younger to assist Dehemoth in defeating or killing Antony.

However, both Pisso and Igiulus expressed fierce opposition, so Cicero adopted a compromise plan, in which he drafted a letter of interrogation against Antony, demanding that he disarm and return to Rome to stand trial, or else deprive him of all his status and powers, and resort to force to requisition. Originally, Igiulus insisted that he write the letter, because his personal friendship with Antony was the best, but this request was ruthlessly rejected by Cicero, and many of the senators who were secretly in contact with him were bound to exclude Igiulus.

The result was already one-sided, and the two clerks, who had been bribed beforehand, hurriedly took advantage of the senator's attention in other areas, sketched the message, handed it to another servant, who had also been bribed, and secretly and quickly sent the core of the disposition resolution to Fulivia at the side door of the brightly lit synagogue.

"Our whole people have been killed by our sworn enemy, Cicero." Fulivia's hands trembled, tearing the letter and said.

"Confiscation of property? No, we can't just capture Fulivia, even if our property is confiscated, our personal safety must not be violated, otherwise it will be a burden to Marco on the front line. When Claudia heard the news, she immediately decided, "Let's go, there is still a place for us in the city of Rome." ”

Before the third sentry of the night, Fulivia and Claudia, dressed in mourning clothes, and Anthony's mother, Julia, did not dare to sit on their shoulders, but went barefoot, carrying the only jewels and softness, accompanied by several armed slaves (the rest of the slaves were all temporarily dismissed), came to the door of Villa Prima and knocked on the door for help.

The sound alarmed everyone, and the female dependents, Richida's adoptive father Marcus and Princia, Porti and Corinna's mother and daughter, and the newlywed Vivia and her hair-dressing maid, all gathered in the atrium, where Kelly was waiting for orders with dozens of portal slaves.

"They are begging for help from Prima, Master Marcos, and with a word from you, I will decide whether to accept these women, or drive them out and leave them to the Senate to dispose of." Kelly clasped his hands and pleaded.

Marcos didn't know what to do, to be honest, he did hate Claudia, but now it was another woman asking for shelter, and Marcos himself was a very kind person, so he hesitated, but Printhia kept pleading on to the latter.

In the end, Marcos could only set his sights on the Potti mother and daughter and Corinna, meaning to let them decide.

"I'm going to let them in, no matter what, Leo is still in Anthony's army." Vivia couldn't help but speak first.

At this time, Porti, who heard Vivia's attitude, looked at her daughter twice, then nodded lightly, and asked Kelly, after all, Richvia had helped our mother and daughter before, and now that she is in trouble, how can she act completely disregarding the old feelings? (To be continued......)
