- Pompey had decided to give "Spurius" the greatest reward. !
And the first way he repaid him was to fulfill his promise and let "Spius" become a member of the Senate as he wished.
This is what Pompeo must do. If you want to pay for you personally, you must pay for it in advance. At least "Spurius" has done it, and now it's up to Pompey.
When Pompey appeared in the Senate, the senators¡¯ eyes were filled with either sneer or sympathy, probably because of the Poseidon Festival.
But at this time Pompeo has fully recovered, and he no longer cares about anyone's eyes.
As long as you can consolidate your power and finally defeat your biggest enemy Caesar, then the sympathizers will get their own rewards, and the mockers will be driven away without mercy.
After a few simple issues in the Senate, Pompey said: "In this naval battle on Poseidon's Day, there was a person who performed so well. I think everyone should know his name even if I don't have to say it. Our new hero in Rome - Servius!"
Pompey took the initiative to mention Servius¡¯ name, which surprised everyone. No one dared to answer Pompey¡¯s words. £® £® £® £® £®
Pompey thought to himself and said slowly: "Of course a hero should be rewarded, and my suggestion is to set up a new legion and let Servius take charge of it personally!"
This is really surprising. Those who knew Pompey's temper felt strange. Servius had robbed Pompey of his dignity and the glory and acclaim that should have belonged to Pompey, and Pompey could have taken revenge. But now, not only did he not do this, but he actually let Servius regain control of the legion?
"Of course there is no problem in letting Servius take control of the new legion, but where are you going to send him?" A senator asked his own question.
"In Gaul, our brave Caesar is leading the equally brave Roman soldiers to fight" Pompey slowly revealed his true intention: "But the damn barbarians defeated Caesar. , although we sent out the legion of Centumaros, we still made little progress. The arrogance of the barbarians must be suppressed, and the insult to the Roman Republic must be repaid to them tenfold. Therefore, I hereby propose to all the respected senators. , send the brave Servius to Gaul, and he and Caesar, two of the bravest commanders of the Roman Republic, together with Centumarus, will win for us a great victory!"
Crazy, Pompeo is really crazy. Many elders and congressmen thought so. £® £® £® £® £® He actually wanted to keep two of his enemies together. Didn't this add a bigger enemy to himself?
But there are some people who don¡¯t think so at all. The only thing they think about is that Pompey was too smart to put Caesar and Servius together. £® £® £® £® £® It is completely conceivable what kind of fire will happen when these two extremely proud men, Caesar and Servius, come together. Pompey may even destroy his two enemies in one fell swoop. £® £® £® £® £®
Of course, such thoughts can only be hidden in the heart. £® £® £® £® £®
"Dear senators and distinguished members, can my proposal be passed?" Pompeo raised his voice: "I have no selfish motives. Everything I do is for the great Roman Republic. Achieve greater victory!¡±
There was applause. These guys in the Senate neither wanted to offend Pompey nor Servius.
Pompeo¡¯s first bill was passed smoothly.
And Servius, who was also qualified to participate in the meeting, finally got his wish. He was finally able to regain control of the legion and finally return to the battlefield he was extremely familiar with. £® £® £® £® £®
Spurius fulfilled his promise, which made Servius feel grateful to him beyond words. £® £® £® £® £®
At this time, Pompeo continued: "Dear members, have you forgotten Crassus's failure?"
He suddenly mentioned this issue, which made the atmosphere at the scene become solemn.
The failure of Crassus was also the failure of Rome as a whole. This is something that every Roman is unwilling to mention too much.
Pompeo's tone became extremely solemn: "What a respectable elder Crassus is. He successfully suppressed the rioting slaves when the Republic was in the most critical moment, and he is also my best friend. He defeated In Parthia, those despicable Parthians actually poured molten gold down his throat. This was an insult to the Roman commander and an insult to the entire republic. The holy republic must not tolerate such shame.??Ignore it! "
No one dares to express their opinions without permission at this time. £® £® £® £® £® Everyone listened silently as Pompey continued:
"We must retaliate more cruelly for the humiliation inflicted on the Romans, so I suggest forming a legion to carry out punitive battles against the Parthians!"
This time, someone raised an objection: "Pompeo, I completely agree with you. The dignity of the Romans cannot be challenged. However, Caesar chose to be busy dealing with the barbarians, and our defeat in Parthia was also Let us worry, who are you going to send to shoulder this important task?¡±
"Hockham." Pompeo proposed this candidate without hesitation: "He once followed Crassus to put down the slave rebellion, and also followed Crassus to participate in the war against Parthia. No one is more experienced than him. £®
He finally spoke his intention slowly: "The new legion will fight under the command of Hokum, and the most important chief centurion of the legion, I want to appoint my adopted son Jakulius.
There was a burst of whispers, and now everyone understood that this was what Pompeo had in mind.
Judging from Yaculius' age, he is unable to hold a higher position, and chief centurion will be his only choice. But as he grows older, Pompeo will definitely find ways to increase his adopted son's position step by step.
By that time, the timing of the legions actually became directly controlled by Pompey.
In order to achieve this goal, he deliberately threw out Servius to block everyone's mouths, and then said his direct thoughts. £® £® £® £® £®
From this point of view, Pompey was undoubtedly quite successful.
When the vote came, almost everyone voted in favor, including Servius.
?????? If it were before, Servius would never have agreed, but now he has fulfilled his wish to his satisfaction. No matter how stubborn he is, he will never be willing to cause trouble again.
Seeing that two of his suggestions were approved, Pompeo was extremely satisfied.
Splius is really an amazing guy. He had thought of this situation happening in advance, and even planned the proposal for himself online.
Since the wish has been fulfilled step by step, it¡¯s time to do something for Splius.
"The third thing is what I, the sole consul, should do" Pompeo paused and continued: "Everyone knows that there are two vacant seats in the parliament, and we must find qualified ones. I have two nominations. One is the respectable character and integrity.
He first threw out his first bait. The position of a member of Parliament is not that important. Many major issues are often skipped by the Parliament and decided directly by the Senate. Moreover, this Bibias is a kind man, and in the Senate There were also many friends, and Pompeo's nomination was approved without any opposition.
"As for the second man, I think there are many people here who have heard of his name, but have not seen him in person" Pompey finally stated his true purpose: "A Roman Republic with integrity Citizen, Melius Splius!"
This name was discussed again and again.
"Spurius, please come forward and meet everyone."
In Pompeo¡¯s voice, Wang Weiyi stood in front of everyone.
Objections quickly emerged: "Pompeo, we heard some rumors that most of the expenses for this Poseidon Festival were paid for by this Splius, but this does not become the reason for him to be elected as a member."
"Yes." Then someone else said: "He can't even be considered a real Roman citizen. I once heard that his ancestors left Rome very early and went on this adventure in the East. A man who is so unfamiliar with Rome, How can you sit in such an important position as a member of parliament?¡±
The objections began to increase gradually. Pompeo waited patiently for everyone to finish speaking, and then said to Wang Weiyi: "Spurius, do you have anything to say about these accusations?"
"Yes." Wang Weiyi said calmly: "Yes, my ancestors left Rome very early, but no matter where they were, they never forgot the city of Rome. You can't imagine the hardships of our wandering outside. You see Only our scenery, if you need it, I can tell you everything."
There was silence in the venue, everyone listened to Wang Weiyi¡¯s words:
"My grandfather and my father have never forgotten Rome. Their only dream is to return here one day, to their extremely beloved Rome. Even before my grandfather died, he had not forgotten this. £®
His nonsense touched the hearts of many people. After all, this was the pride of the Romans - there was a businessman who loved his country so much.
Wang Weiyi did not miss this opportunity: "My father did not fulfill this dream, and I finally fulfilled their instructions and returned here again. I love this place, and no one loves my home more than me" £®
What he said was so emotional that some people even wiped their eyes quietly.
Wang Weiyi's tone became heavier and heavier: "I have experienced countless hardships. I once blamed my grandfather and father for why they had to come back, but when I arrived in Rome, I understood it immediately. It is so magnificent. Such a strong country, such a proud citizen."
His voice suddenly rose: "When I see all this, no matter what kind of suffering I have forgotten, no matter what kind of hardship is worth it. You don't have to elect me as a member of parliament, But this cannot stop my patriotic heart. Even if I leave Rome tomorrow, no matter where I go, I will be proud to be a Roman citizen!¡±
These words immediately aroused the pride of all Romans, and their hostility towards him naturally decreased. Some even applauded him! !
"Listen, this is the cry of a Roman citizen!" Pompeo struck while the iron was hot: "Is it necessary to deny his Roman citizenship just because they pursue greater glory for Rome? No, this is not what the republic should do. Everyone, I can also tell you that as long as Splius can be elected as a member, he will bring more food to Rome, so that we don¡¯t have to worry about these things anymore!¡±
The last words touched everyone¡¯s heart. £® £® £® £® £®
"I support Splius being elected as a member of the House of Representatives!" someone said.
Everyone looked there and saw the respected veteran Orvis.
Wang Weiyi smiled inwardly, it must be Gaius' letter that worked. Orvis has always been a supporter of Gaius, and he will never let the people Gaius entrust him to take care of.
Orvis said slowly: "Everyone can think about it. During the Poseidon Festival, Spurius borne most of the expenses. If he was not proud of being a Roman, why would he do such a thing? ? Think about it again, should we hold the Poseidon Festival again next year? Who will pay for it? Is it all the distinguished people here? Ah, at least this will help our wealth. £®
A burst of laughter came out. Even though Orvis was being tongue-in-cheek there, it certainly struck a chord with everyone.
"I agree too." Servius also stood up and said. He knew that this was his best chance to repay Splius: "I have never seen such a generous and upright person. He will become the most generous and upright person." A good Roman citizen will also become the best senator. When he reaches his age, he may also become a member of the Senate. "
I agree - the proud Servius also said this.
¡°Then let¡¯s start the voting now.¡± Pompeo said without missing any opportunity.
His cronies voted in favor without any doubt, while the absolute majority of other people, under the influence of Orvis and Servius, cast their own vote.
In the end, Pompeo¡¯s nomination was approved with an overwhelming majority.
New members of the Roman Parliament were born:
Theas. Meleus. Splius!
In another time and space, everyone is accustomed to calling him by another name:
Ernst. Alexson. Feng. Brahm¡ªBaron Skeleton!
Wang Weiyi couldn't help but laugh. £® £® £® £® £® Baron Skeleton? Senator Splius?
¡°I never dreamed that one day I would become a member of the Roman Republic.
It seems that this is really an interesting era where people can be surprised anytime and anywhere. £® £® £® £® £®
"Congressman Splius, congratulations." When the meeting ended and after accepting everyone's congratulations, Servius came to him: "I still firmly believe what I just said."??, one day you will become the youngest person in the Senate in the history of Rome. "
"Thank you for your vote for me and your blessing for me." Wang Weiyi said with a smile: "Although the Senate has approved your formation of the legion, you still have to pay all the expenses yourself. If If you need anything, you can come to me anytime and I will give you all my support.¡±
"I really don't know how I can repay your generosity." Servius said sincerely.
Indeed, the formation of the legion is a big problem. For example, for the permanent legions, all their expenses are borne by Rome, but for Servius or the previous legions of Centumaros, all expenses must be paid by the coach himself, and this is often a very large sum. cost of.
Because of this, the first thing those Roman generals who were appointed commander-in-chief often did was to find new sponsors.
Now that Splius has solved his concerns in advance, why shouldn't he be extremely grateful?
Servius also made up his mind that no matter what Spruius needs his help with in the future, he must do it even if he loses his life. £® £® £® £® £®
They chatted for a while, and when they saw Pompey walking towards them, Servius said hurriedly: "I will come to you, so I will take my leave first."
When Pompey arrived, all he saw was the back of Servius. He smiled coldly: "This simple-minded guy is probably still complacent about that appointment, right?"
"Everything is under your control, Pompey." Wang Weiyi said with a smile: "I think you will soon get rid of your most disgusting enemy, and the power of Rome will be completely in your hands. ¡±
"And all this will be attributed to you, Senator Splius." Pompeo also said with a smile: "Some people have guessed our alliance, but what does it matter? A strong alliance always makes people Fearful and jealous, I am convinced that as long as we can unite, we will crush any enemy."
Wang Weiyi nodded: "Yes, I think so too!"
What he wants more is that one day, Pompeo will regret his decision! - Didn't finish reading? Add this book to your favoritesI'm a member and bookmarked this chapterCopy the address of this book and recommend it to your friends for pointsChapter error? Click here to report
