Chapter 33 Construction Projects
"Returning to His Majesty, offering 270 people, all of whom are called Christians." Glinus replied respectfully, obviously, this number is large enough, and there is no shortage of the results of their torture to extract confessions, but Nero, who was angry at this moment, didn't think about it at all, and Glinus lowered his head, his eyes glanced up at Nero's figure slightly, and after a while, he looked at Lin Xiu again, Nero, you are mine, you will definitely be mine, no matter what means are used, I will get you, his psychology has been repeating this sentence.
"Purification? Is this the purification that your Lord has given? Purified Yu's imperial capital, purified Yu's palace, purified Yu's people, thought of Statia? Mei Salina once stood with you crazy people, Yu Du felt a wave of nausea, she is not some saint of yours, she is Yu's queen, you executioners, don't you like purification? Okay, Yu will purify you, see if you can be happy when you meet your Lord, if your Lord comes, Yu and him will be purified together, come, drag me out, 270 people, all of them will be lit into torches, and the whole city, all the princes, nobles and commoners, all watch, Yu should see with his own eyes how cheerful they are. ”
Nero almost gritted his teeth and said this paragraph, and after that, he personally took Lin Xiu and others to watch this feast of lighting sky lanterns, for a while, where there was any joy, it was all a cry of pain, the smell of the burning meat made people feel disgusted when they smelled it, and the oil stains that flowed out on the body touched the flames with a squeaky sound, and for a while, many people couldn't stand this cruel scene and began to vomit, and Nero never had any expression from beginning to end. until everyone was burned to ashes. Only then did he say coldly: "Their lord does not dare to confront Yu Zheng. ”
After all that is said. Nero walked away, looking at the murderous back, only Lin Xiuzhi said, these days, she is almost tired and lying down, but in the eyes of others, there is only ruthlessness and cruelty, people are so pedantic, there is no way. They never think about what a man does for him, and what his purpose is, but gossip is what they do best, and it doesn't take more than a night for the cry of the bloody Nero to spread out in an unimaginable scope, and the hat of the Antichrist is fastened on his head from then on.
The day after the sentence was pronounced, the construction of the palace began, and in this time Nero himself designed the layout of the palace. The whole style is completely different, and the magnificent atmosphere also has the romantic color of mountain flowers. People who see it are also amazed, but such a mixed structure can not be understood by the world in this era, just when they see the drawings, they dare not imagine how huge the amount of money needed to spend on the building this time is so large, even after Lin Xiu saw the structure of this drawing, he also secretly said, I feel that in this aspect, Nero is really a little too luxurious, but after Nero explained to him, Lin Xiu suddenly felt, His own thinking in this aspect is still not comparable to the jumping Nero, this palace seems to be gorgeous, but in fact, the money and power spent are not incomparable, but after Nero's calculations, even more than the previous palace calculations, this is really a little breathtaking, maybe only such a whimsical thinking Nero, can be completed, but Nero did not tell anyone except Lin Xiu about these internal forces and his own purpose.
"My king, I always think that you should explain your ideas to the ministers appropriately, otherwise just see this drawing, they will speak out against it, don't mention how to let them implement it according to your wishes, after all, this time they have caught your hard work and money, if you tell your true thoughts, I believe that except for those diehards of the Senate, most of the subjects will still agree with your ideas." Lin Xiu thought about it for a while, and decided to remind him, although he had his own purpose, but he couldn't find out about the emotion, and he could only be regarded as an unqualified liar, so on the premise that he knew that the road could not be stopped, and this palace was not built in the end, he still couldn't help but persuade Nero, but Nero shook his head and was extremely resolute about it.
"In this fire in the imperial capital, Yu also recognized many things, some people you don't punish severely, to reason with them, it's useless, they won't listen, and they will think that you are afraid of them, so Yu is too lazy to reason with them, Yu is the emperor, Yu says how to do it, they can do it, as for what to do, Yu will never explain to them again." Nero shook his head and said in annoyance, obviously this fire brought her a lot of damage, and even some of them insisted on going their own way, seeing Nero so resolute, Lin Xiu no longer spoke out to persuade him, after all, there were some things that seemed to be powerless for him, and he didn't want to change anything at all.
However, Nero seemed to be not enough, and on the third day, another shocking piece of news came out, that Emperor Nero was getting married again, in the first Octavia and the second Popea? After Sabina, the emperor ushered in his third marriage, and this year, Nero was only twenty-seven years old, a twenty-seven-year-old emperor, has changed to a third queen, which is also unprecedented in the history of the Roman Empire, and these are not the real surprises of the people, what really surprised them is that the third wife of this emperor is the Holy Daughter of the Christian Church, Statia? Mesarina, it is said that after a duel between Emperor Nero and the husband of the Holy Maiden, she finally obtained the Holy Maiden Statia? Mei Salina's heart.
But because Nero killed the Christians, and because someone deliberately did it, no one would believe that this was a fair duel, and even many people believed that Nero, a bloodthirsty tyrant, directly sent someone to assassinate the Holy Maiden Statia? Mei Salina's husband, and then added it in order to beautify himself, after all, this emperor is a person who likes to show his charm in the hearts of even those who support him, but for these, Nero doesn't care at all, she seems to be such a rebellion. originally talked to Lin Xiu about the script. All the more because the culprits of that fire were members of Christianity. Let her want to slap them hard in this way.
How? You say that the Holy Maiden was sent by the Lord? You say that I am the bloodthirsty devil of Rome and a tyrant, and well, your saints have become my women, so what? What about your Lord? Aren't you afraid of me, the emperor? This is probably the most unusual thing about Nero, the clinging to the child makes people feel cute, and the more you say it, the more you can't do it. She just wants to show you the most, which makes Lin Xiu cry and laugh with a headache, but in the end, there is no real duel between him and Nero, that is just a statement that Nero wants, or only she knows the secret of the Dao, that is, Lin Xiu's attitude, as for Lin Xiu's former wife, Nero never cares about these things, she is so different. It's so unique.
What is unexpected is the chain reaction that this incident eventually triggered. Those Christians are really in trouble with Nero, their fanatical faith factor gives them courage, and they want to rescue the holy woman from the clutches of the emperor, and they are hot-blooded warriors, the embodiment of justice, but when Nero heard Lin Xiu's version passed to him like this, he just smiled, quite proud, and seemed to be overjoyed that he could be so favored, Lin Xiu covered his forehead with some pain, and really didn't know what kind of composition the brain of this genius was.
The fire in 64 AD, the time to burn is not far from 65 years, during this period of time, Lin Xiu did not return to the void universe picture again, obviously this section of the plot has not completely ended, and then something happened that Lin Xiu almost ignored, that is, Piso conspiracy.
According to the original record, this incident happened, sixty-five years AD, everything seemed to be peaceful, there was no war on the imperial border, Nero's plan was also in progress, but the Senate was not calm, looking at Nero's magnificent design, and the wealth that continued to flow out of the pocket, these senators were completely angry, and the anger triggered an assassination operation, after all, what the Senate needed was an emperor who could fully protect the interests of the nobility, not an emperor who thought too much about the commoners, At this point, Nero is exactly the opposite of them, so it also led to the emperor and the senate, who were temporarily able to reach an alliance because of the fall of Agrippina, completely went in two directions, and some senators gathered around the new nobleman Piso's lawyer, plotting to overthrow Nero, and among them was Otto and Seneca, obviously these two wanted to go to that throne through the support of the senators, and the most surprising thing was that Grinus was also involved, which made them more confident, after all, In the hearts of most of them, Lin Xiu is still not as good as Glinus, at least on the surface.
Originally, according to the conspirator's plan, Nero would be assassinated the day after the circus held an entertainment event, and everything had been arranged, but the day before the move, one of the conspirators' actions was too conspicuous, and the entire conspiracy was exposed, and Nero also declared martial law in Rome and ordered a search of the entire imperial capital to find the conspirators, but Lin Xiu has not understood this paragraph very well, according to Nero's neural response structure, how could such a danger be discovered? Or is this time inseparable from himself, a witness to history? Everything is waiting for answers.
This day has come normally, in the Colosseum rebuilt by Nero, there are loud cheers of mountains and tsunamis, there are not only nobles here, but also many commoners who were not qualified to enter before, because of Nero's decree, they can also enjoy such entertainment, when Nero walked into the Colosseum, tens of thousands of civilians saluted Nero, as a way to express their love for this emperor, because it was this emperor who was less than thirty years old, who gave them something that they had never even dreamed of, It's called dignity.
Lin Xiu, who was standing behind Nero, also sighed in his heart, in this regard, the current Nero is very successful, entertainment activities are opened on time, circus, sports economy, racing, and so on, and Nero also talked to Lin Xiu with a smile on his face, neither of them noticed that Glinus, who was standing behind them, was staring at Lin Xiu's back with dark eyes, sneering in his heart, it won't be long before he will become a dead corpse.
"Qing, let's go down with Yu and have fun with the people." Nero would only say such things to Lin Xiu alone, and Lin Xiu would naturally not sweep her face. Accompanied Nero down the arena. When I saw the emperor appear in person. The excitement of the people has been raised to a new level, and in such a social background, it is not easy to see the emperor in person, but at this moment, they are lucky enough to see Nero perform in person, for them, this is enough to tell the story for future generations.
Nero stepped into one carriage with a smile on his face, and Lin Xiu stepped into another carriage. This is a racing race, Nero shook the whip in his hand at Lin Xiu, proudly raised his chin, full of provocation, Lin Xiu could only smile bitterly, he really had no talent in this regard, and Nero was happy to hit him in this aspect.
The referee had already raised the flag in his hand, Lin Xiu raised his horsewhip despite helplessness, and people had to bow their heads under the eaves, who let the emperor be her instead of himself? Just thought of this. The flag in the referee's hand has not yet fallen, Lin Xiu's carriage. But it was the first step out of the way, the two horses galloped like crazy, no matter how Lin Xiu pulled the reins, there was no effect, but Lin Xiu's heart slowly cooled, could it be that this was the signal of assassination?
Seeing Lin Xiu's carriage running straight to the sidelines, Nero was stunned for a while, and then smiled and said, "Qing is so eager to defeat Yu in his heart?" Don't you know that such an approach is a foul? Hmm, shouldn't you give a man a little face once in a while? Nero said, but she thought about it with her chin on her back, and at the time when she didn't pay attention, a figure suddenly appeared in a carriage beside her, holding a dagger in her hand, and went straight to Nero's back heart, such a short distance, even if it can be found, it will inevitably cause serious injuries, Nero seems to feel the sound of the wind behind him, turned around, and frowned, but it is too late to dodge.
"Look for death!" With an angry shout, a figure went straight up, and killed the assassin under his sword with lightning speed, that figure turned out to be Glinus, the assassin looked at Glinus at a glance, and gradually died with disbelief and anger in his eyes, and Glinus sneered, he just wanted to kill Lin Xiu and get Nero, how could it be possible for people to really hurt Nero?
It all happened so suddenly, and many of the people had not fully woken up to their senses, and at this moment, a group of people and several other carriages had assassins in them, and for a time surrounded Nero and Glinus, and then, Grinus's guards also seemed to have received orders a long time ago, and swarmed to them.
"Protect the Emperor and kill the traitors!" Glinus's long sword pointed at the sky, the arrogance was monstrous, blocking Nero's body like a god of war, for a while, the cry of the guards shook the sky, and it was already terrifying in terms of momentum, under such close protection, it was obvious that Nero was safe.
"Bastard Grinus, you betrayed us!" An assassin obviously belonged to the important people in that conspiracy, and recognized Glinus at a glance, and Glinus should have stood up against Nero at this moment, which was the result of their discussion a long time ago, but when it came to the end, Glinus did suddenly turn back, caught them off guard, and missed the best time to assassinate.
"Hmph, ignorant bandits, since the day Grinus entered the Guard, he has sworn that he will only guard the emperor, you are stupid." Grinus said with a sneer, and then with a swipe of the long sword in his hand, he directly cut off the opponent's head, which seemed to be the beginning of chaos, the people reacted at this moment, the assassin and the guards were standing together, Lin Xiu's carriage had already rushed out of the arena, and the guards escorted Nero to evacuate steadily.
"You wait to rescue Lin Xiu quickly, there must be no mistake, you can go." Just when he was retreating, Nero also understood what was going on, Lin Xiu's horse was obviously tampered with, and the whole of Rome knew that if you want to move yourself, you must first get rid of this king's knight, and Nero did not hesitate at all, and immediately issued an order to rescue Lin Xiu regardless of his own safety, which shows the weight in his heart.
"It is important to protect Your Majesty, the knight of the king is supposed to sacrifice himself for the emperor at any time at the most critical moment, please put the overall situation first!" The deputy commander of the Guards spoke out in time to persuade him, according to the situation at this time, he was very right, after all, the emperor's safety was more important than everything, but the only thing he did was to ignore the weight of Lin Xiu in Nero's heart.
"Smack!" Nero slapped the adjutant in the face, raised his eyebrows, and scolded angrily, "Fart, who dares to let him die?" If you can't save him, I'll kill you, and you'll lose a hair, so you'll see you! The adjutant was bleeding from the corners of his mouth, his teeth were grinding, he never thought that he would desperately defend this emperor, and even if he didn't reward him, he would scold like a pig and a dog, but he had to endure this. (To be continued......)
