94. His Majesty died
"Don't worry, Mother, as long as Yu is still in the world, no one will be able to bully you."
Reassuring the little Empress Agrippina, Nero had already known the purpose of the Senate meeting on the way here.
Claudius is dead, and as Qi Wuce had said to her last night, in a little while others will call her Majes.
But...... Now she doesn't know how to deal with it anymore.
Emperor Claudius may not be her biological father, but because of little Agrippina, this seemingly unbridled emperor's stepfather has always taken good care of her.
Even if Claudius brought the whole of Rome downhill, the fact that the emperor was her father could not be changed.
Now, Qi Wuce has killed her father for the promise of helping her ascend to the throne. Even if it was a good intention, she couldn't forgive the other party in her heart.
Why be in such a hurry? Obviously, my father doesn't have much time to live......
Although they have only been together for less than a year, Qi Wuce's talent has deeply attracted her, but today's events have forced her to part ways with her.
"My daughter, because of the death of your father, your mother can only rely on you for her life in the future."
Little Agrippina caressed Nero's face with tears in her eyes, and there was a little tender care in those eyes, but also a little grief for her husband's death.
"Your Majesty, please mourn."
The members of the great Roman family took turns to comfort the grieving queen, and Nero stepped aside to watch it all with the same sadness, but the indifference in his eyes almost froze.
The woman who was crying was disgusting with her fakeness.
What do you say sad?
The deterioration of my father's health was not caused by this vicious woman?
Wasn't her headache the result of this woman's cruel heart?
is only for her desire for power, and she does not hesitate to poison her daughter and husband regardless of any affection, can't such a woman be ruthless?
Looking at the woman's back, Nero longed to skin and bone.
If it weren't for Qi Wuceqing's interference, she would probably have been invaded into the bone marrow by the chronic poison of that ruthless woman.
It was a special morning, and the bad news came to her like holding hands, and she was afraid that she would not be as cheerful as she had been for a long time.
"Ahem! Silence, everyone, for I, Sextus Emilius, on behalf of the Senate, will then convey a heavy and sad message to all of you. ”
Thanks to the unique architectural structure of the conference hall, the middle-aged people on the stage do not need to pull their voices to reach everyone's ears.
"It's from the Aemilius family this time, right?"
"Aemilius? It's a great family. ”
"Yes, yes, after all, the six major Roman families that have continued since the republican period are unimaginably rich."
"Heritage? The Senate has not always been controlled by these families. ”
"Shhhh It's a public place, so there are some things to be aware of. ”
Listening to the whispers in the crowd, the middle-aged man on the stage was not annoyed, after all, it was something to be proud of that his family could be feared and envied by others, how could he be angry about it?
"I repeat, please be quiet."
Everyone knew what the occasion was, and when Saxus uttered the words of silence for the second time, there was no more discussion in the chamber.
Scanning the hall of the chamber, as he met eye contact with little Agrippina, Syketust bowed to him to show his grief for the deceased.
"Just last night, something that the whole of Rome was going to mourn and ponder happened while I was resting in my dreams."
"His Majesty Tiberius Claudius Drusus Nero Germanicus, Emperor of Rome, has quietly passed away."
As this bombshell news was thrown, the conference hall was silent for a while.
The emperor is dead?
That's a big deal!
Some of the people in the hall who had only met the emperor yesterday were keenly aware of the hint of conspiracy.
Syxtus was still talking, but there was no audience left in the audience.
It's going to be a change of emperor again, who is in the mood to listen to the formulaic scenes of Syxtus for such a big event.
Everyone was thinking about how to make the next change for the greater good, and this was the upper class of Rome.
Nero sat next to the Empress Agrippina the Younger, as crown prince, and after Sextus announced the emperor's death, she could clearly feel the gaze that drifted by from time to time.
The world is impermanent, last night she was a Roman crown prince who no one cared about, but today she suddenly became the future emperor of all eyes.
"The dead are gone, and Rome cannot be without a king. According to Roman law, after the death of His Majesty Claudius, the Roman throne should be inherited by His Royal Highness Nero Claudius, the crown prince appointed by him during his lifetime. ”
"The enthronement ceremony will be held three days after the funeral of His Majesty Claudius, and if you have any objections, please submit them now."
"I don't think it's right, His Majesty Claudius was killed by traitors, if you don't find the murderer and hurry to hold the enthronement ceremony, where is the majesty of my Roman Empire?"
One of the elders of the family of Cornelius who spoke, Abius of their family, was a strong contender for the throne.
Now they don't know where Abbius's people are, but they can't watch Nero Claudius, a little girl, inherit the throne of Rome.
Because Zhu Yue appeared in time to destroy Abius's troops, these high-ranking people in Rome still don't know about Abius's rebellion.
Agrippina Jr. was able to become queen and support her daughter all the way from Claudius' children to the position of crown prince, naturally she was not a shallow person.
Seeing that the situation was not good, little Agrippina immediately glanced at the people of the Claudius clan not far away.
As the only designated heir to the throne today, the Claudius family will naturally not let go of this opportunity, if their family can produce another emperor, then it will definitely be able to become the irreplaceable first among the six major clans.
"Wrong? His Majesty the Emperor was killed, do you still want to publicize this ugly thing? Preaching the incompetence of your Cornelius people? Don't forget, the Imperial City's guards are controlled by your family's men! ”
The endless argument between rights eroded his brain like a cacophony, and Nero's expressionless eyes lost focus, leaving only a piercing sentence to drift through his consciousness.
"The emperor was killed."
Nero was helpless, and the last shred of hope was quietly extinguished.
