Chapter 8 Adoption within a day (2)

I uploaded the chapter last night, but I forgot to post it. I will reissue it today. Three updates.

—————————————————

The people gathered in the square were infuriated. As long as there were three children, there would be hundreds of state-owned land rations in any case. This was a just policy that was sympathetic to the poor. But now the people knew that there were always people like Cato and Bibruce in the Temple of Concord, who tried every means to prevent them from benefiting from this policy. These people roared and raised Caesar high, claiming that if there were any elders to make trouble, they would ask the civil servants to submit Caesar's land law to the Tebris People's Congress for voting, and please rest assured that all the people were on his side. Now they were waiting for Caesar's order to cross the "bridge" of the voting and support him with practical actions.

But at this time, Cicero, who was chasing out on the steps, shouted to Caesar with great energy: "Give up Julius! You must know that it is useless to get the support of this mob. Your land law must be given to the people's association. But we have all connected. There is no people's officer willing to help you in the city of Rome." Next, he saw that Caesar turned back and stared at him with confidence, and smiled and said, "Are you looking forward to Claudi's help? I can tell you that Bibruce can block him with just one word, because no civilian family is willing to adopt him now, and even if he adopts him, it is too late to follow the time of entry into force."

At this time, Li Bida, who had a premonition of this scene, shot the door frame of the tavern again. Several Moorish black-skinned slaves immediately took the writing board thrown by Li Bida and ran towards the address of the ancient Curia Conference on the back of the main square like a flying gaze. The black figure instantly passed by Cicero's eyes.

There were three public deliberative bodies in Rome, namely the Curia Congress, the Curia Congress of the Hundred People and the Tebres Association. Curia was the earliest Curia in Rome, but the name was not true at all, because those who could participate were actually nobles. Later, the Senate of Rome replaced its status and it died in name only. It was simply the organizer of the ceremony, that is, after the consul or the governor were elected, the so-called "power" was "granted" to these people through procedures. So now, no one is aristocrat or a people, no one will go to Curia to gather, let alone vote on elections. There are only thirty lowest-level republic officials, namely "Curia attendants", and three priests who presided over the ceremony; as for the Curia Congress, it was mainly an institution that decided on the election of officials and civil rights cases. It was originally a place where the law was passed, but later it was through the struggle of the civilians (

In Rome, the amount of property determines the number of a group of 100 people). The power to pass the law was transferred to the Tebris People's Congress, which was only responsible for electing senior officials of the Republic, such as the consuls, governors and supervisors, and decided to declare war and make peace. In addition, they would also deal with matters of extraordinary officials (such as the election of special ten-member committees or commanders of the army) or criminal justice cases. The Tebris People's Congress was the result of the victory of the hundreds of years of civilian struggle in Rome. It was originally completely prohibited from participating in aristocrats. Later, when it obtained the right to decide the law, the nobles also participated. Each consul had a president-like figure, either a consul, a governor, or a civilian or a civilian maker. The chairman proposed the prototype of the law, and then the people of the people voted to pass it. Once the law was passed, then the nobles and people in all Rome must be swear to abide by it.

For Cicero, he only considered the "normal legal issue" of a civilian adoption of Claudi, but he never expected that the "Curia Conference" that was almost forgotten by the Romans had the right to make an emergency decision, that is, the issue of citizens accepting adopted children under the consent of the consul, namely adrogatio.

Of course, Caesar fully agreed to Claudi's emergency adoption, and it is still his month of rule. Why not? Li Bida found a dying civilian who was already dying on the sickbed but had no children. Li Bida sent his wife ten thousand dinars, and then asked the civilian who had left breath to make a will, saying that he would adopt Claudi as his adopted son so that someone could inherit his "household property full of clay pots and fish". As for the writing board full of wills, he was ready, now

In the hands of the Moore slaves who were running at the speed of lightning, they were sent to the "prepared" Curia Conference within a few minutes. Thirty servants and three priests were waiting anxiously. They all received a lot of "gifts" a few days ago, especially those of the lowest-level servants. They never expected that for the adoption of an old man and a civilian, someone would give them 9,999 Seths per capita, because Caesar's new case law was announced, and no one dared to cross the red line of 10,000.

The vote was very fast, and it took about half a day. In any case, the civilian's will "In the Year of the Joint Reign of Julius and Bebruce" stamped with the seal of the Curia Conference. From now on, Claudius was also called the adopted son of the civilian. His identity as a civilian's official continued to take effect and he could continue to run for the next year's term.

"I think Claudi must be very happy to know that his adoption procedures were completed within one day; and I also think that if Claudi knows that you are blocking his next election term, he will be very angry." Caesar, who was put down by countless people, easily exposed Zhang Akuta and said to Cicero, and then shouted to all his supporters, "I will immediately ask our civil guardians to submit the land law to the people's congress, so that we can unite us, fight to the end, and fight to the end for our own interests!"

At this time, all the people all issued the trumpets of the battlefield, and some people raised their own flags, claiming to go to war with the elected fathers, and let the Temple of Concord tremble in their righteous shouts.

At this moment, Cicero was trembling in the shouts. Yes, his thighs were trembling, because Caesar was right. If a guy like Claudi knew that he was in a difficult position with himself in the election, this street hooligan stallion would never spare me!

"Listen, since Claudi has been adopted, we can no longer stop Caesar from submitting this matter to the Tebres Association for vote. At present, we must win over Crassus and Pompey with all our strength! Even if Pompey wants to be Dick today, we can only agree to him." On the streets when we returned home after the meeting, Cicero quickly followed Xiao Katu and kept reminding him.

"We will naturally handle this matter, but the most urgent task is to let Bibruce learn to give speeches and learn to give speeches in the current people, otherwise he would not be able to defeat Caesar." Little Gatu said back, saying that he meant to hand over such a quick thing to Cicero. (To be continued, please search for astronomy, novels are better, updated and faster!
