The matter came suddenly, and there was no reason not to pay attention to this matter, after all, if this matter is not handled well, it will be a great obstacle to Nero's succession to the throne.

Nero looked up at Qi Wuce, his eyes full of confusion.

Qi Wuce was a little surprised, this was the first time he had seen Nero's confused look, it was hard to imagine that a person like Nero with a clear goal would have an impossible emotion of "confusion".

"Regarding Her Highness's mother, this is a taboo subject." Nerva duly leaned over to Qi Wuru's side and whispered a reminder.

After a little reflection on the description of Nero and his mother in later history, Qi Wuxue was quickly relieved.

After all, whoever puts up such a mother, who has worked hard to put himself on the throne as the heir to the throne, who wants to be the emperor herself, but poisons herself and wants to control herself, will feel very distressed.

The same is true of Nero.

Agrippina the Younger, now the Empress of Rome and the mother of Nero, had three husbands, and her first husband, Persienus Crispus, gave birth to Nero, but because her first husband was too poor, Agrippina the Younger, who was bent on getting Nero to get ahead, used some means to make her first husband die before remarrying to a second husband.

Agrippina the Younger's second husband was named Dominius Akhnobalbi, and it was thanks to this wealthy stepfather, Nero, that he received a superior education.

Later, Agrippina the Younger, who had taken advantage of her second husband, killed her second husband, Domidius Akhnobalbi, by poisoning.

Then, in order to raise her daughter's status again, Agrippina Jr. boarded the ship of the current Roman Emperor Claudius. After assassinating several of Claudius' children, Nero was propelled to the position of heir to the throne.

In this patriarchal Roman Empire, Agrippina the Younger single-handedly pushed Nero to the position of heir to the throne, and the hardships can be imagined.

If there is such a mother, as her child, I believe that the heart of any person will be grateful for nothing but to her, and so is Nero.

Nero's gratitude to his mother never diminished until that day came.

One day, after a meal, Nero suffered a sudden headache. Doctors in the palace showed that the headache was caused by a chronic poison. After some investigation, the identity of the poisoner was finally locked on the body of Agrippina Jr.

The mother's once kind face shattered in his heart, and the strong sense of abandonment formed a huge blow, causing Nero to fall into a state of depression for a long time. ”

"Wait!"

The narration ends abruptly.

"Your Highness Nero, as a person in question, would it be good for you to read these things out in the form of a narration? By the way, how did your narration connect with my thoughts? Qi Wuce, who came back to his senses and found that something was wrong, complained.

"Hmmm! Qi Wuceqing, you don't need to worry about Yu, from the moment Yu decided to ascend the Roman throne, Yu will never be confused about this matter again. ”

"What's the matter, obviously just now I still had a confused and overwhelmed expression." Qi Wuce smiled evilly, turned his head and whispered.

"Hmm...... Just ...... That's just the rest of the ...... I'm just practicing for a new drama...... Well! That's it. ”

Because it was a forced quibble, Nero was a little hesitant.

"Hey, hey, be sure to send me a ticket on the day Your Highness appears." After the appropriate flirtation enlivened the atmosphere, Qi Wuce, who didn't want to dwell too much on the matter, gave Nero a step in time.

Tigrinus and Nerva looked at each other, both understanding what the other was trying to say.

"I'm afraid that our Highness has taken a fancy to this Lord Qi Wuce." The two of them thought of it in unison.

"Ahem!! Now back to the point, you should all understand what I said before, so I won't explain more, so now, there may be another enemy on the road to the coronation of His Highness Nero - the Claudius family. ”

At this time, Tigrinus, who was simpler-minded, was already full of question marks.

Nerva immediately noticed Tigrinus's doubts, so he asked Nero for permission and began to explain to Tigrinus: "According to Lord Qi Wuce's thoughts, His Royal Highness Nero's mother did not handle things cleanly when dealing with the other children of His Majesty Claudius......

"That is to say, perhaps some of the remaining children of His Majesty Claudius survived the purge and were successfully found by the Claudius family."

After greeting Nerva, Qi Wuce explained: "There are two reasons to support this view......

First, according to what you said, Lord Tigrinus, the commander of the Praetorian Guard can't be someone from any other force than the Claudius family.

Second, it was impossible for the Claudius family to attack His Highness Nero. As the only child of His Majesty Claudius, His Royal Highness Nero is now the sole heir to the throne, and if the Claudius family is to continue to be in power, then His Royal Highness Nero must inherit the throne.

Thirdly, according to the above, the Claudius family's control over the Praetorian Guard left a safe security risk around His Highness Nero, which means that they have the certainty of killing His Highness at any time, which also indirectly proves the possibility of the existence of other heirs.

As for why the Claudius family is not doing it now, I am sure you all understand. ”

"I ...... I don't understand. Tigrinus said weakly.

Without thinking much about it, Qi Wuce raised the palm of his left hand upwards in the direction of Nerva and sent it slightly, while closing his eyes and nodding.

Nerva smiled awkwardly, and then explained to Tigrinus: "After all, compared to His Highness Nero, the children of Claudius who have been educated by the family for a long time are obviously easier to control.

However, the child who was found by the Claudius family is not suitable to appear in Rome in the open right now, because His Royal Highness's mother is still alive, so even if he is allowed to appear in the open, he will only be killed by Empress Agrippina again.

Moreover, the ability shown by His Royal Highness Nero is obvious to all, and the Claudius family also did not do it because they wanted His Highness and the Ambitionist faction to lose both and then kill His Highness and directly take the fruits of victory. ”

Speaking of which, even Tigrinus understood it even in his simplest mind.

"I have one more question...... Why did they put this vulnerable arming in advance......"

"I understand." Qi Wuce directly interrupted Tigrinus's words, his time was limited and there was only one night, whether it was discussing plans or listening to information, it was extremely time-consuming, so he didn't want to waste time on Tigrinus's problems.

So Qi Wuce snatched Tigrinus's words and directly said everything Tigrinus wanted to ask: "The Roman palace is very large, and it has existed for a long time, so the palace defense plan has long been perfected, and if the defense plan is suddenly changed, it will inevitably attract the attention of His Royal Highness, so now this defense with more than ten loopholes has been arranged a long time ago, because it is Claudius's people who manage the security of the palace, I'm afraid you have never doubted it at all." ”

This is indeed the case, because they believed in the commander of the Praetorian Guard and in Claudius, so Nero and the others never doubted the aspect of security.

"In short, although the possibility is very high, our analysis has so far only been unconfirmed speculation, the above is the worst-case speculation for His Highness, and the better ones are simply the possibility that the Praetorian Guard commander will be bought or threatened by the Ambitionists, in any case, when I go to the Claudius family's residence tonight, all the fog will be resolved."
