Chapter 4 Tribunals (Part 2)
The speechless Brutu spread his hands and sat on the couch a little tired. The current situation only made him more and more confused. So only God knows what kind of role he plays in the whirlpool.
But the storm is getting closer. Even though Caesar and a legion were in Arimiron, only two days away from Rome, after Marseilles and Dumigos were both elected, Catholic immediately proposed that the country is now in a "very big situation" state and the Republic is threatened by the army, so there is no need to wait for the handover of the consul in March next year to discuss the issue of Caesar's registered candidate.
The Pompeii senators, Cruise and Bibruce (this just cast), soon joined forces to propose this bill to the Senate's duty chairman and the backbone of the anti-Caesar Bolus, and said that under martial law, the Senate's decision naturally had priority to implement the decision of the People's Congress.
At this moment, Li Bida, the Duzhi official who had disappeared from the public eye for a long time, suddenly appeared in front of Principe's door, holding a handwritten letter from Caesar to the Senate.
At this time, the Julia Hall, funded by Caesar and built by Li Bida, had been completed, so the veterans gathered there to receive Li Bida like the "foreign envoys". This behavior itself made him feel that it seemed that Xiao Katu and others were not ready to reconcile with Caesar at all.
Well, anyway, he is also tired of endless debates and criticisms in politics. If he could solve the problem with a sword, he would not care about it at all.
In the noisy synagogue, the entourages struggling to hit the floor with their rods. Li Bida held the box of the papers and stood in the round staircase. The light falling from the stained glass patio was draped on his white Toga robe, "Look, before the butcher raised his knife, he would still send him the servant who picked up his internal organs out of courtesy, come to the sheep pen in advance, and tell the flock of sheep, so that he could exchange time to sharpen the knife!" Li Bida looked down at the quiet Li Bida. He mocked loudly, and the Senate immediately became more and more powerful - the duty chairman Bolus raised his hand to ask everyone to be quiet, and then asked Li Bida to read Caesar's letter in public.
"I, Julius Caesar, are still ready to endure everything. As long as there is hope for a legal solution to the matter, even if it is just a trace of retention, I will never resort to force." When Li Bida read "requesting force", Xiao Katu stood up and shouted angrily, saying that the butcher is the butcher. When he was shaking his olive branch, he always had a sharp knife behind him!
But Li Bida ignored his provocation. Instead, he continued to read, "I urged the Senate to pass an emergency edict to allow me to participate in the election of the ruling officer in absentia."
A burst of hilariousness, Marseilles shook his white purple robe and shouted, "Maybe Caesar's messenger fell asleep halfway, don't you know that the consul has been elected?"
"—If you cannot miss the election this year, then the term of the Governor will be automatically extended by one year, because Caesar had informed me before sending this letter, that is, even if he is not present, one thing must be confirmed, that is, is Pompei is in the Senate Hall at this moment?" Li Bida stood in the middle and glanced around with his sharp eyes.
Is this guy trying to use this trick to impeach Pompei again? You know, in theory, Pompei is still the governor of Spain and cannot appear in Rome. No matter whether he appears in the Senate, during the last time in the petition conflict, Li Bida joined the first army and even the torchbearer was killed. So the Senate is now holding a key meeting, but Pompei himself still lives in the countryside of Alba, and is controlling the situation behind the scenes for avoiding suspicion.
"Are you mocking the Senate system? Do you really think that making a foreigner like you a minister is not based on the tolerance of the state, but on the loopholes in the law?" Xiao Jiatu scolded him as if he saw through Li Bida's way.
Li Bida then refuted, "I am not doubting Pompeius. He must now be in Taraco, Spain. But I heard that the First Legion of the Spanish Province is now near the city of Rome. This is Pompeius's legion, six thousand fully armed soldiers, were stationed in the capital of the Republic without any permission. Caesar happened to be worried about this, and he was afraid that after handing over the power of the governor, he would be attacked by Pompeius when he returned to the city."
"What a ridiculous statement."
"This is not ridiculous. The verbal condition of Caesar is that if the registration cannot be absent and the term of governor cannot be extended, then it is required that Gaul and Spain, that is, Caesar and Pompei, all ten legions owned by both sides, will be disbanded at the same time!" Li Bida's tone suddenly rose.
Is this Caesar's new trick? But it's enough to be equivalent to a heavy rock bullet. The clerk's insults, praises, and discussions in every corner, squeezed his eyebrows and eyes and ears, and tried his best to record Li Bida's speech on the book. Xiao Jiatu was also a little surprised and thought to himself, "Caesar is indeed a smart and vicious guy. The think tank he stood here should not be underestimated. Now he actually kicked the ball to Pompei's side based on the legion's problem."
"Vote!" At this time, Curio, the civil guard who was sitting in the next seat, stood up and rejected Li Bida's request.
"Abuse of veto power may trigger a huge war. I specially selected fathers. I hope that you will restrict the young civil guards attending the meeting. This is not a tebris civil meeting that spits and raises his hands!" Li Bida shouted angrily, but Gatu was very satisfied with Curio's use of veto power in time. He cuts the mess around. When the reason cannot be communicated well, it is better to take such tough measures.
"The bill to disband the legion will not be included in the deliberation procedure." In the end, the duty chairman Bolus naturally issued this order and directly blocked Li Bida.
Before Li Bida could justify anything, Bolus exchanged glances with Katu and Xiao, and immediately proposed a hard-working solution, "rejecting Caesar's proposal to extend the term of the governor, and rejecting Caesar's proposal to disband the legion at the same time as Pompeii." After three refreshing "vetoes" in one breath, Bolus added, "In a market day, a senator's gathering was held at the same place on the issue of the transfer of the governor's power."
There were shouts like a market everywhere. Li Bida opened his hands at Xiao Jiatu and others, slowly stepped backwards with his provocative eyes and exited the synagogue.
"Thank you for your legacy of the Lord. I believe it will work to resist thieves like Caesar!" Little Gatu chased him and said sarcastically.
The other party had already stood out on the porch, put down his robe, smiled at Xiao Jiatu, and turned around and left. (To be continued...)
