"Of course it's okay, I've always been against violence." Brutus readily agreed, then glanced at Caesar's coffin and took his leave.

Just after Brutus had left, there was a noise in the back courtyard of the compound, and then Caesar's wife, Corpunia, rushed out with tears on her face, and she cried and grabbed Libida and Antony, and said, "How foolish was my fear, for there were still many soldiers who were faithful to Julius during their lifetime, and I was afraid that Brutus, and his shameless mother, had not come to you to beg for peace?" So Lybidaeus, I now beg you, in the name of the widow of the dictator and the custodian of the estate, to send out legions at once and kill them all in the streets, immediately! ”

"Don't worry, noble lady, I will immediately issue an order to bring the Tenth and Twelfth Legions into the city and wash the entire Capitol Mountain in blood." Anthony next to him began to be unstable, and blurted out that he agreed to Korpunia's request, but Li Bida rejected it very coldly.

Below, Corpunia's expression became disgusted, and she tore at Lipida's robe and said, "Didn't Julius have no favor for you when he died?" Look at the color of your complexion, look at your hair, look at your appearance, if it were not for his promotion, you would have been able to reach the throne of ten thousand people under one man, not to mention that now that Caesar has been assassinated, you and Antony are the kings of this state, "His personal inheritance is three thousand eight hundred Tallents, and my father has the keys to the Holy Treasury, where I have consulted the documents of the house, which contains five thousand Tallents, and you two say, who wants to do what I say." Whoever takes the wealth will take it immediately. At his disposal. ”

Now. Anthony also helped on the side, constantly asking Li Bida to agree to her request, "As long as this money can be used properly, no, just half, as a reward for the soldiers, and then we can directly solve Brutus and Cassiyo, wouldn't it be better?" ”

"Our enemies are not just these two men. but the old guards of the Senate as a whole, and the remnants of Pompey in Spain, and even friends who are now willing to rally under our banner, who, if they come for money, may at any time become enemies of me again when the money is gone. So I think that Lady Korpunia should keep it in its custody and use it wisely, and that it should not be overly impulsive if you could use better means to achieve your goals than by squandering it alone. Li Bida patiently explained to Caesar's widow. Our sworn enemy, Brutus, must know this, and don't think he's a fool. It is impossible for this fellow, who calmly lays up his plans and brutally plunges the blade into your husband's body without scheming - in fact, Brutus has come to us today, and for this reason, knowing that they are no match for us in terms of money and army, he has tried to use this debate to frame the dead dictator as the usurper of the republic, and to gain an advantage in public opinion and morality, and then Spain, southern Gaul and Sicily, both land and sea, will all become our enemies, That's when the battle gets tougher. ”

At this time, Coponia walked to the coffin in a depressed mood, covered the edge with her hands, and began to cry, it was obvious that she was moved by Lipida's words, and after a while she asked, "Then what is your Lipidaus's strategy, since the last testamentary incident, I think I should calm down and trust your mind." ”

Li Bida paid a deep salute to Caesar's widow and said, "Thank you for your trust, wise lady. What I have to do now is to join forces with Antony and the relatives of Julius, first of all, to defeat Brutus on the battlefield that he thinks he is, to put them in a passive position, and then to protect the legacy of His Excellency Caesar, and then to choose Caesar's successor as much as possible, to preside over our overall situation, and then launch a full-scale counterattack against the enemy. ”

"Are you going to be part of the big debate?" Anthony asked.

Li Bida nodded, "I want to fight for His Excellency Caesar's political treatment, his legal position in the Republic, the rights and interests of the inheritance, and the specifications of the funeral." ”

"Then after this qiē victory, can we choose a suitable successor according to Caesar's will?" Anthony asked the question again very carefully, as if waiting for Li Bida to publicly determine something.

But Li Bida just nodded, and did not say who the successor should be.

Under the gloomy sky, the air in Julius' compound seemed even more dreary.

In order to fulfill the oath of the Great Debate, in front of the Mother Earth Temple, which is located on the main roads between the Evandini, Palatine and Capitol Mountains, there was a sea of people, and in order to fulfill the oath made beforehand, in front of their respective streets, that is, a hundred paces from the temple, spears with red cloth bands were used to mark the boundaries of the forbidden area, and about 100,000 people, including citizens, foreigners, freemen, veterans, and local groups, surrounded the Mother Temple like a huge and raging river, many of them for the convenience of viewing. They are densely clinging to the terraces and chimneys of the arcades like ants.

With a burst of exclamations, Libida and Antony were the first to come to the spear where their street was, and several synagogue slaves stepped forward and took off all the robes of them and the servants, revealing their naked bodies, "Look, like Julius who was deceived into the Senate that day, I didn't carry any weapons at all, because he thought that in the Pompeii theater, it was a friend who was waiting for him, but that was just wishful thinking on his part!" Anthony, with his bare muscles, shouted at the crowd of supporters, and suddenly burst into tears.

"Your Excellency, Your Excellency, you should remember my name, I am indignant at this filthy and despicable assassination, you must know that my identity is extraordinary, I am the grandson of Marius, and the child he gave birth to when he was on his way to Numidia to deal with Jugurdah, my name is Amartis, and I have been granted citizenship, and I have the approval of Aunt Caesar, even if my mother is a Moor, look at me, look at me, noble two cavalry commanders, I am willing to saddle your horse for you, Right now, you're lacking in people like me! At this moment, a bald man suddenly appeared from the crowd, this guy was about thirty years old, very strong, he ran down the street, and kept shouting these words to Li Bida and Anthony, who had put on their robes again, claiming to be Marius's grandson, and the relatives of the dead Caesar.

"Fuck off, dark-skinned guy." Antony tucked his robes and scolded Amartius with disdain. (To be continued......)
