Earlier, the Roman Senate did secretly want to summon those great emperors in Roman history. However, it had not started yet. After having this idea, Severus stopped it. After that, the Roman Senate gave Severus a face.
I haven't made any fuss about this.
On the one hand, the Senate also feels that there is something wrong with this. On the other hand, the Senate is still barely controlled by smart and capable people. Papinian and his group are not dead yet, and the Senate is like a group of demons dancing around.
, but at least the general direction is fine.
This group of people must be discerning and capable. Naturally, they know that the coming of a god is at best a problem that can be solved by force, while the coming of a great emperor becomes a political issue for Rome. Therefore, after Severus stopped this matter,
The working senators in the Senate also helped Severus suppress this matter.
Overall, the patriotic education in Rome was indeed good. At least before the third century, the Roman upper class rarely subverted the country for their own selfish desires.
Even the problem between Caesar and Marcus Brutus, which led to Marcus Brutus' murder of Caesar, was essentially a conflict between the monarchy and the republic. It was really a personal conflict between the two.
It's really not big.
Even Caesar himself was very optimistic about Marcus Brutus. When he appeared at the assassination scene, he sighed and said directly, "Is there still you, Brutus?"
This shows Caesar's view of the other party. In fact, Brutus recognized Caesar's greatness at the beginning, but later as Caesar became more and more great, he had the idea of ending the republic, and then the two parties parted ways.
If anything, the Senate has always been the vanguard in the confrontation with the Roman emperor. But generally speaking, the later the Senate is, the more aggressive it becomes, and the further forward the Senate becomes, the calmer it becomes. The end of the second century is just the dividing point. Waiting for this
After the death of Senator Bo, most of the people left in the Senate were businessmen.
Naturally, the current Senate is still a Senate that considers Rome. After a group of big guys tried to stop this matter, although there were still some people in the Senate who were not willing to do it, no one dared to do it, because
After staring at too many people, most of the elders finally gave up.
It can be said that if the Claudius family did not seek death, this incident would be over. Unfortunately, sometimes things backfire.
The other senators had given up on this matter, but only the Claudius family took it seriously. After all, one of the sources of this family's surname was Caesar, and the destruction of Thirteen Roses made this family lose its reputation.
After finding out that they could see their ancestors in this way, the Claudius family would inevitably want to give it a try. After all, they were their own ancestors!
After losing Thirteen Roses, although the Claudius family is still the top noble family in Rome, it is very different from the family that once controlled a top legion. What's more, from a certain perspective,
Thirteen Roses is the face of this family.
Because the Legion of Thirteen Roses can be regarded as the legion that Caesar personally led across the river and won a great victory when Caesar's crusade against Gaul in history. After all the armies were slack, it means that this legion is the Guards led by the ancestors, almost.
The face of this family.
However, the entire army was wiped out and the eagle flag was gone. All the reserve soldiers were transferred to the second auxiliary army, competing with the former second auxiliary for talents and flags.
For these reserve soldiers, in order to allow Thirteen Roses to leave some traces, the Claudius family put all their young men in the Second Auxiliary Legion to help the reserve soldiers of Thirteen Roses,
Let them swallow up the second support as much as possible.
In their words, they have to settle the sins committed by their family. Even if the eagle flag of Thirteen Roses is gone, Thirteen Roses cannot completely fall.
However, they all know that the Thirteen Roses are really gone. Even if these reserve soldiers really reach their peak in the future, it will no longer be the Thirteen Roses, but the Second Auxiliary Legion, the face of their Claudius family.
Already disappeared in that battle.
This feeling prompted the family to take that step under the ban. They wanted to summon Caesar and one of their ancestors.
This kind of thing naturally failed. On the one hand, the Roman emperor could not summon him just when he wanted. The former emperor of the living empire also had considerable protection to avoid being disturbed. On the other hand, Caesar's situation was too complicated, and normal methods could not be used at all.
invalid.
Claudius naturally failed, but there is no airtight wall in this world. The news soon spread, and then Severus felt a sense of crisis, and Pompianus returned to Rome to negotiate with the Senate.
Contact, and then confirm that this matter is caused by the Claudius family.
This was very confusing. After Pompianus received this news, on the one hand, he felt the experience, but on the other hand, he felt that it was natural. After all, he was also born with this surname, so he could naturally understand what Caesar meant to this surname.
, we can also understand what the Thirteen Roses who crossed the river to fight with Caesar mean to this family.
Reaching this point is not unexpected for Pompianus, and it is reasonable to do so, but Pompianus also has a headache about how to solve this problem if Caesar really comes. After all, Pompianus
Even if Nusi is patriotic, he still has selfish desires.
Even if this guy wants to take the surname Claudius away from his head every day, if Caesar is the leader now, Pompianus may not be unwilling to admit this surname.
What does Caesar mean? It means the final completer of the Roman military system and the eagle-flag system, and the founder of most of the legions currently capable of fighting in Rome.
Even to put it bluntly, all the legions that can be fought in Rome are basically closely related to Caesar. Except for a very few Legions of Eagle Banners, it can even be said that they were directly formed or given combat effectiveness by Caesar.
The Roman Emperor's Guard Corps, although this legion has existed from the beginning, it is defined as the Emperor's Guard Corps and its military spirit. This was all completed by Caesar. Before Caesar, Rome was a republic. There is a ghost.
emperor.
Therefore, as long as it is certain that Caesar has ended, Pompianus needs to assess the situation and decide whether to choose Severus or Caesar. This guy is a smart man. He can survive the era of Commodus and live better.
They are not fuel-efficient. In addition to ability, they also need the ability to control the situation.
Once Caesar enters the scene, Pompianus must buy time. Whether it is buying time for Severus or buying time for Caesar, he needs to buy time, and this cannot be changed.
In fact, Pompianus had already thought this through when he returned to Rome. However, after arriving in Rome to confirm the situation, Pompianus breathed a sigh of relief, and Caesar did not come down.
The current patriarch of the Claudius family is not yet able to lie under Pompianus's eyes. Caesar indeed did not come down. This is a good opportunity.
Of course, the other party also admitted that he had indeed done this, but he did not pull his ancestors down. After Pompianus heard this, he did not ask further questions and decisively decided to throw the blame to the businessmen in the Senate to clear Claudius.
Suspicion on the Us family.
Compared with the Claudius family who had gone crazy before, Pompianus knew very well how much impact this matter had. Once Severus' position was shaken, Severus would definitely not mind ruthlessly taking action.
, if the Claudius family is exposed, something will happen sooner or later.
Even if Pompianus dances every day to express that he must take off the surname Claudius, if he really wants to say it, he still has considerable respect for this family. After all, this is the source of his bloodline, and he also
I don't want this family to collapse like this.
What's more, Pompianus recently got a large amount of money from the mortgage of the mine, but because he owed a lot of money from the back-and-forth mortgage, Pompianus was thinking about whether to kill the borrower so that he wouldn't have to pay back the money.
I just wanted to clean the inside of the Roman Senate to reduce the unpleasant copper smell inside.
Pompianus had a strong execution ability and was in a high-ranking position. After contacting the Claudius family, he decisively began to clear up suspicions, and then quickly provided dirty information to the big businessmen in the Roman Senate.
The Claudius family was quickly picked out.
During this process, although some senators of the Roman Senate saw something, they all thought they were blind. Papinian immediately fell ill, while Ulpian and Papinian were together.
Is hospitalised.
As the last two major jurists in the Roman Empire, being able to do this was considered as connivance to Pompianus. After all, the laws they had been revising and perfecting were being trampled upon by Pompianus. However,
In a patriotic mood, these two guys just came out of sight and out of mind, pretending they didn't know anything.
As for the other senators who actually worked, they all saw something more or less, but on the one hand, the constant influx of businessmen made the Senate a mess, and on the other hand, they felt that Pompianus would not go too far.
It was seen that everyone was doing their own work and no one spoke, but Pompianus started doing it expressionlessly.
Under the indulgence of a group of top-level senators, Pompianus actually hammered out the dirty information about one-third of the senators in the Senate. He was waiting for Severus to come back and impose military control on them. When the time comes, these morons would be wiped out
Get rid of them all.
As for others who dare not even think about this aspect, it is estimated that before what happened, no one would have thought that Pompianus would be so crazy. This is one-third of the senators, even most of them
They are all corrupt businessmen, but they are also the upper echelons of the country, and Pompianus is smiling and ready to take action.
