To Four Thousand Years Later

v2 Chapter 103: A lamb shall not be king of wolves

Yuan Zheyuan absolutely did not expect it. On the second day of the public trial Tiberius rebelled. Wearing his most dignified clothes, he sat on a carriage and walked through the city, shouting loudly to "expose a cruel truth". The place. The citizens talked a lot and were very curious.

Your Excellency the Consul, what exactly are you going to do? If Tiberius summoned these people for no reason, he would just say some nonsense. What he has reduced is undoubtedly his own appeal. So people knew that Tiberius could not just be playing tricks on them but had something important to announce to them.

"Citizens of Rome - I thank you very much for the justice you did for me yesterday.

"It's not just me you saved. There's also justice in this world! Although she is dying now, ravaged by greed and sin, but thanks to you. I can see, even when it's dark. Justice still exists with us "Very, thank you everyone." Tiberius put his hands on his chest and bowed seriously to everyone. The citizens looked at him in surprise, and the hustle and bustle gradually dissipated. The square became quiet.

But Tiberius' next sentence instantly detonated the quiet atmosphere!

And today, for the sake of justice that is dying, for my own rage, for all the citizens of Rome - for our holy and great Majesty, I will present a public trial to a huge "I will present to the entire Senate !” Amidst the astonishment, questioning, and ridicule of the people, Tiberius was unmoved. He just opened the carriage and dumped out the old Brutus' body.

Seeing the dead body, people exclaimed.

But after seeing the face of the corpse, they gradually calmed down and looked at Tiberius in surprise.

"Today, I want to accuse you of the evil deeds of the Senate. Because the sky over Rome has been shrouded in clouds - we are proud of it and our beloved "You know that I was framed and killed by the former Consul Anaro yesterday. But do you know why he wants to take my life? "Tiberius said firmly: "Because I bear the sacred mission entrusted by Master Augustus!" therefore. The Senate is going to kill me! "

"Under the watchful eyes of the citizens of Rome, Anaro's framing was exposed. But his crimes, at best, should be dispatched to the thin line battlefield. But yesterday he was directly shot to death! Why is this? Because the Senate did not I would like him to tell who the person who instructed him to commit crimes is! Tiberius stretched out his hands and waved them vigorously: "Think about it, everyone! If a man instructs his slave to kill his neighbor—he provides the murder weapon, he teaches the slave to kill "the slave wounds others, he should be executed for murder, and his master cannot escape the responsibility. But Now, in the name of slave disobedience, he executes his slave early, and throws away his responsibility. Escapes as a victim!"

"He didn't even pay any price! This real murderer is innocent after killing two people!

Tiberius roared angrily: "Why? Isn't the slave who did it just a vicious dog, a sword, and a bow driver? Because it is the sword that kills, the swordsman is innocent?"

"Absurd! Foolish! Everyone fell silent and looked up at Tiberius. Tiberius tore off his clothes at this moment, revealing a wound on his chest that hadn't stopped bleeding. It was the old Brutus's. The dagger, the flesh wound stabbed on his body.

"Just now, in the wee hours of the morning today. Something happened that made me sad. Tiberius' voice became quiet: and his eyes were burning with anger and hatred.

"That's right. It's neither a challenge nor a gambling fight. It's an assassination by Bippo! It's like he assassinated the uncle of the great Caesar. A dirty and ugly assassination of me!" Tiberius suddenly raised his head. He raised his voice, pressed the wound on his chest, and glared at all the citizens: "Please think about it! Citizens of Rome! My wise and righteous compatriots! If he hadn't come to assassinate me, how could I suffer so much? Serious injury? How could I catch him out of my mansion? How could he be dressed like this?"

"I gave porridge to the poor near my house yesterday after dark! You all know when I got home!

Tiberius was sad and angry, and wailed in pain: "Anaro is just a sword! It's my life. It's not Anaro. It's the Senate!"

"I'm outraged. Because they didn't kill to make Rome stronger, they just killed me because I was approved by Lord Augustus - because I was better than them!" He took a step forward The voice lowered down.

Everyone was immersed in his anger, and they could not help but clenched their fists tightly, staring closely at the man whose chest and abdomen were full of blood, but who was still standing tall.

"The meanness, greed, and ugliness of the Senate have done more evil to Rome than all our enemies put together!" I graduated from the best academy in Rome; Proud! But these honors are not even close to that one and only identity.

Tiberius solemnly stretched out his hand to his chest, and said softly, "I am the son of Sir Augustus, his most trusted son.

"Because he trusted me the most, he transferred the position of consul to me. Because the adults know that only I can make Rome stronger! Of course the Senate knew it too, but they chose to refuse. "They want to kill everyone who is bigger than them Better people, so they are the only ones. Postumus is nothing more than their **** - because Postumus has nothing "cause the old **** have had enough! They want more gold, they want to change the laws at will, They want to ride on our necks, they want to be kings, they want to be kings!"

"And we will never allow it!"

Tiberius stretched out one hand, clenched it tightly into a fist, and stood up.

He repeated: "We will never allow a Rome never allow

"Our holy and great Majesty has said to me,

"They are despicable, cowardly, greedy, jealous, and murderous. On their hands: full of the blood of our compatriots, even one of us"

At this point, Tiberius stopped abruptly, letting the citizens imagine themselves.

Among the louder crowd, Tiberius raised his voice again.

"I have experienced everything myself! I have witnessed the corruption of the Senate! We must, and must dissolve the Senate immediately! Give power to citizens, to good and righteous nobles, not to greed" Lord Augustus revolutionized all things , only the last step is left—and now. We are the successors to Lord Augustus' will! "

"Up to now, we have only one goal! One only and unchangeable goal: We are determined to dissolve the Senate. We want to kill all the despicable people who steal power, in order to maintain the glory of Lord Augustus! In order to achieve This purpose, nothing can shake us, nothing can make us change your determination!"

He raised his fist solemnly, and said word by word: I swear here. Side by side is to the gods, but to the heroic spirit of Lord Augustus - "I will never accept any negotiation, I will never negotiate with the Senate in any situation! We will not compromise, we will not back down, until I die, Rotten and reduced to ashes, Rome and Augustus "one day, is the time for the collapse of the Senate! "
