At this time, many supporters of the republican faction were clamoring loudly again, and in the tidal wave of shouting, Li Bida and Anthony had already stretched out their hands and made the gesture of "please", and at this time, filamentous raindrops floated over the entire venue, and the air became even more dull, as if it was about to burn.

"I must first of all make it clear to the two honorable cavalry commanders, Lybidaeus and Antonius, that although your position is a matter of great circumstances, the Republic will not always be of great affairs, and that all its order, and the methods it may face, have been engraved on the bronze plates of the Law by the wise ancestors, and will not be forgotten. For example, the consuls only served a one-year term, and Dictor had only a six-month term, but Caesar coerced everyone into serving an indefinite term of Dictus and a five-year or even ten-year term of consuls. For example, the law stipulates that the army of the Republic is not allowed to cross the two natural boundaries of the Brindisi and the Rubicon, nor is it allowed to enter the city of Rome with arms, but Caesar has attacked his homeland very brazenly. Under his rule, many citizens were killed and many more were exiled. This is the reality of Caesar's rule, and now we are only trying to return the country to its normal and traditional state by the same extraordinary means. ”

"Then I ask you, Brutus, whether you were a citizen of the Republic before you were with Cassiyo? Have you ever fought against Caesar? Anthony, who was next to Li Bida, immediately asked.

"Yes, I have always been a citizen, Caesar did not and did not have the right to deprive me of this birthright, and most of those present could pat their chests and say that I am a citizen of the Republic. There is a natural right to participate in the security of the country! He said. Brutus became excited. He beat his chest and shouted, "I love Caesar, but I love Rome more and I love freedom more!" ”

"Then don't be agitated - you and Cassiio were in the sea outside Ephesus, and you surrendered to Caesar halfway, and you were in Pompey's camp before, so may I ask Caesar if he killed you. Did you banish you? Anthony asked aggressively.

"Don't fall for his tricks, Marcus, that guy wants to bring the conversation back to personal relationships." Cassiyo reminded him.

By this time, the rain was already falling, but Brutus blocked Cassillo's gesture with his hand, and then he answered Anthony's question openly, "Yes, I surrendered to Cassillo, and Caesar once told me to swear allegiance to him, and gave me amnesty. I could have continued to live on the flies, but this tyrant didn't do the same. I could not bear any more to compel all the citizens to swear an oath to him, to force them to be loyal to him alone with favors, bribery, and oaths, and to use the simple virtues of the Romans to achieve their own ulterior goals. ”

"So Caesar forgave you, and forgave most of you, so that you might assassinate him with the sword, didn't you? That's a real ulterior! Antony taunted loudly, and then the crowd was stirred up, and the pro-Brutus and the pro-Caesar all scolded each other, the former for being a servant of the tyrant, and the latter for the former for being a vile play.

Brutus became even more agitated, and he cried out, "Those who have retorted me, if Caesar had not deprived you of your liberty, why did he not give you the right to vote for the consuls, not the right to vote for the governors, not the right to vote for the governors, not the right to command the army, not the right to the priesthood, not the right to seat the colonial council!?" In this respect, he is inferior to the former tyrant Sulla, who, after the end of the civil war, convened a congress and declared that the power of the republic would be returned to you. But Caesar didn't, he just used an excuse for an expedition, and he obediently deprived him of five years of freedom, Rome has become a death place that suffocates freedom, there is no hope to see, no fire can be felt, a qiē and a qiē are based on Caesar's personal joy and anger, but the Romans are born to die and do not want to be slaves, and they would rather die if they are not free! ”

At this time, the atmosphere of Brutus reached its climax, and all the senators and supporters shouted the slogan "Freedom or death", and Cassillo, who was behind him, also applauded and laughed gloomily.

At this time, only Cicero on the steps, groaning, pacing back and forth, noticing the change in Li Bida's eyes, he was keenly aware that not a single qiē was over.

"Brutus has just spoken of the immutable law which he loves, and beseeches the dead Caesar, or the living, to give the command of the army to the people, then I wish to consult His Excellency Brutus, the power of Rome to go out and the power to appoint generals, and the power of the governor of the province to allocate lots, which law is entitled to the Senate!" Li Bida suddenly relayed over and fired a cannon at Brutus instead of Anthony.

As a result, many people, including Brutus, were speechless, yes, these powers were originally in the Council of Hundreds, but during the extraordinary period of the Punic War, the Senate took these powers away, and then never returned them.

Seeing that Brutus was speechless, Casca also took over and replied to Lybida, "Because of the extraordinary measures, as now, the specially selected fathers of the Senate naturally have the right to direct state affairs at such a time. ”

"But this extraordinary time is not irresistible, but it is precisely created by you! Therefore, you should admit that some of the cabals in the Senate are the culprits who have put the country in a very bad situation and assassinated Julius in an attempt to usurp state power. Li Bida countered loudly, and then the call for "punishing the murderer" over there was like a mountain collapsing and the sea cracked.

"As I said, it was an extraordinary time, at the juncture of the Punic Wars." Casca also panicked.

"Isn't the war against Dacia and Parthia a national scumbag? Didn't you give Caesar the title of Father of the Nation, Tribune for Life, and Commander-in-Chief of War? Isn't it reasonable to make a proper change to the law in extraordinary times, the Roman law is always changing, and only the ill-intentioned will use it as an excuse to commit a truly despicable act, and if you have ulterior goals, that is, you, Casca, Luga, Spinzer, you used the stupid Brutus to achieve your dirty goals, and Caesar only extended the term of office of the consuls? ”

"Of course there is a mistake, because the term of office of the consuls should only be one year, and Caesar used war to occupy this position and stifle the freedom of the people." Spinzel picked it up.

"Now that you have finally confessed, you are not resentful that Caesar occupies this position, and that you are not considering matters in the public interest. People, now that our Lord Pinzel is going to be the consul and the command of the army, then I will send him to the front line of the battlefield against Parthia and command the legions of the republic. Anthony waved his arms excitedly and advocated to everyone. (To be continued......)
