- Aesop (Greek fabler, Phrygian)

This garrison on the North African continent, consisting of the 6th, 7th, 9th, and 1st Cavalry Corps, will be the only military force of the Augustan Empire permanently stationed on the North African continent; Its commander will be General Quintus, and Spartak will become the new commander of the expeditionary force, leading the expeditionary force composed of the First Army, the Second Army, Hannibal's Army, and the Chengguan Army to the border areas of the Kingdom of Egypt.

In order to make the Chengguan Legion consistent with the legions of the other Augustan Empire, Oscar also asked the General Staff to specially form a standard auxiliary legion for the Chengguan Legion; This auxiliary legion would also be escorted to the North African continent by the Augustan Imperial fleet, so that the four legions under the command of Spartak would have a full army of 40,000.

After Cleopatra gave birth, Oscar would organize at least eight legions of the Augustan Empire in Sicily to attack the Kingdom of Egypt; At that time, Spartak's army will need to cooperate with the main army of the Augustan Empire to attack the army of Ptolemy XIII of Egypt, and Oscar will make the Kingdom of Egypt a vassal state of the Augustan Empire as quickly as possible!

With the unification of the North African continent, Oscar can finally put aside all the things at hand for the time being and leave them to Vipsani and others to deal with, while he himself wholeheartedly accompanies his four wives who are about to give birth; Especially Cleopatra, she has been ten months pregnant, but the child in her belly has not moved at all, which really makes Oscar anxious!

At noon that day, Oscar had just had lunch with Cleopatra, when Cleopatra suddenly said that her stomach hurt violently; Oscar didn't dare to delay, and immediately found all the midwifery doctors who had been preparing in the palace for several days.

When the doctors arrived, they determined that Cleopatra was about to give birth; So they began to quickly prepare everything needed for Cleopatra's delivery, and Oscar was kicked out by the doctors, but the whole palace began to get busy.

Although Oscar couldn't watch Cleopatra give birth to his first child for herself, Cleopatra's constant screams still made Oscar feel heartily uneasy; Oscar has never experienced such a thing in his previous life, and this life is also the first time he has experienced it, Oscar is naturally nervous, after all, it is his own child, who can not be nervous?

Maybe God wants to make Oscar nervous today, Cleopatra has been giving birth for more than an hour and hasn't been born, and Prisca's maid over there rushed over to tell Oscar that Prisca's stomach suddenly began to hurt!

At the moment that all the midwives in the entire palace are delivering Cleopatra, where else can Oscar go to find a midwife for Prisca in time? In desperation, Oscar had no choice but to rush into Cleopatra's room, drag half of the dozen midwives out directly, and tell them to go to Prisca's room immediately to deliver the baby.

Oscar naturally followed these midwives to the outside of Prisca's room, listening to Prisca's equally high-pitched screams in the room, Oscar's heart was even more flustered and didn't know what to do; At the same time, Oscar also asked Nusis beside him to go immediately, and all the best midwives left in the entire ancient city of Syrac were found.

While anxiously waiting, Nusis found dozens of midwives and came to the palace; Before Oscar could split them up and go to Cleopatra and Prisca's room, the news of Mary's imminent birth came again.

Well, today is the day when Oscar is destined to be anxious, and the midwifery doctors who were found by Nusis are divided into three parts; The most part was taken by Oscar directly to Mary's room, and the remaining two were taken by the maids to Cleopatra and Prisca respectively.

Listening to the shouts of the palace and the hurried footsteps of the maids, the tension and urgency in Oscar's heart were simply indescribable; In such an era of extremely backward medical standards, death in childbirth is the most common thing, and Oscar is worried as long as he thinks of this.

After a restless Oscar was restless for another hour, Mary's room was the first to hear a baby's loud cry; Before Oscar could react, the maid in the room rushed out and excitedly said to Oscar:

"Congratulations to His Majesty the Emperor, your little prince has been born!"

"Mary gave birth to a son?!" This was Oscar's first thought.

"I have a son!!" This is Oscar's second thought.

Before Oscar's third thought came to him, Prisca's maid on the other side also hurriedly ran over and said to Oscar:

"Congratulations to His Majesty the Emperor, your little prince has been born!"

"I ...... Another one! ”

Oscar's heart can no longer be described by Lezizi, because the word Lezizi can no longer be used to describe Oscar's happiness; The pregnancy of four daughters is a very happy thing for Oscar, and now that Mary and Prisca have given birth to sons one after another, can Oscar, a first-time father, not be excited?

Soon, Oscar got a third piece of good news, Cleopatra also gave birth to a chubby son for Oscar! This day is really a lucky day for Oscar, in order to let the people of the entire Augustan Empire share their joy, the only order Oscar issued that day is that all the people of the entire Augustan Empire are exempt from taxes for one year!

Oscar wanted to make the happiest day of his life a day for the entire Augustan Empire to celebrate; It is clear that Oscar, who is now overexcited, does not realize what the problem is, and soon he will face something that will give him a headache.

According to the resolution of the important ministers of the Augustan Empire, Mary and Prisca who gave birth to the heir of the Empire first for Oscar would become the Empress of the Augustan Empire; In other words, the current Augustan Empire still has no empress.

The crux of the matter is that Mary gave birth to her son almost exactly the same time as Prisca gave birth to her son, in which case who can tell who gave birth to the child first? It's not just about who can become empress between Mary and Prisca, but also about which of their children can become the heir to Emperor Augustus.

The position of Empress may not be so crucial, at least not to let those important ministers of the Augustan Empire fight to the death; However, the position of the emperor's heir was enough to turn the entire Augustan Empire into a battlefield filled with gunpowder.

From the night Prisca and Mary gave birth to their child, the battle for the heir to the emperor of the Augustan Empire had already begun; The ministers who supported Prisca and the ministers who supported Mary were all eager to say something in front of Oscar, but Oscar didn't have any specific ideas in this regard, after all, they were all their own children, and the palms of their hands and backs were full of meat, so why make too much trouble?

What's more, now that the two children have just been born, can those important ministers of the empire know who is more suitable to be a qualified emperor in the future? It is impossible for Oscar to decide who will be the heir to the empire between the two children when they are on the ground, let alone let the other child lose the inheritance of the empire from the moment they are born.

As for Cleopatra's children, it was not only Oscar's son, but also the future pharaoh of the Kingdom of Egypt; For this son, Oscar would not mind him becoming the heir to the emperor of his Augustan Empire, as long as he had that ability.

If the emperor of the Augustan Empire and the pharaoh of the Kingdom of Egypt were the same person, then he could justifiably unite the Kingdom of Egypt and the Augustan Empire; Even if he didn't have what it took to become Emperor of the Augustan Empire, Oscar would train him to be the right-hand man of the son who could become Emperor.

Oscar has decided that he will not choose the heir to the throne of the emperor among his three sons for the time being, so naturally he will not let the important ministers of his empire dwell on this matter any longer; Ten days after the birth of the three children, at a meeting of the Empire's highest council, Oscar raised the topic in a serious manner, and explicitly warned all the important ministers of the Empire not to ask too much about the matter.

In addition, Oscar, the empress of the Augustan Empire, also made a formal arrangement, that is, Prisca who was the first to marry Oscar served as the empress of the Augustan Empire; However, the Empress's children were not necessarily the only heirs to the Emperor, as Mary's children and Cleopatra's children also had the same inheritance rights as Prisca's children.

Who of the three children can become the heir to the throne of the Augustan Empire, Oscar will not think much about it until they are sixteen; After the age of sixteen, it will be judged according to their performance, and the position of emperor will be occupied by capable people.

Oscar relied on himself to build the Augustan Empire, and Oscar's heirs naturally have the ability to inherit this empire; In terms of the succession of the empire, Oscar didn't want his heir to be like Qin II and destroy the once-powerful Great Qin Empire.

In order to prevent some of the important ministers of the empire from becoming too close to his son, Oscar made the more profound tragic dead man also shoulder the task of monitoring all the important ministers of the Augustan Empire; If there were those important ministers of the empire who wanted to get involved in the battle for the heir to the Augustan Empire too early, Oscar wouldn't mind letting him go home early to retire.
