Chapter 3094: This is not about to end, this is already over!
Pompianus felt a little cold when he came out. He no longer understood the current Rome. Severus had nothing in mind other than paying the soldiers, expanding the army, and strengthening the imperial affairs.
As for His Majesty Caesar, he sits at the head of the Senate all day long, watching the senators slam the table and lift the benches. From time to time, someone jumps out to accuse Pompianus of violating the rules set by the Senate, and even worse. , directly requested the reopening of the Citizens’ Assembly, the rewriting of laws and regulations, and the protection of the rights and interests of people at all levels. More importantly, Ulpian and Pabinian really dared to accept it.
From this point of view, Pompianus also felt that he might have offended too many people, and he had kept a low profile recently, but fortunately, the people he killed were all those in the Senate who were free of charge and had nothing to do with the policies. A guy who works hard, makes money all day long, and doesn't take the interests of the empire seriously.
Generally speaking, the Senate can still operate smoothly without those people. In fact, even if the Senate is a weird existence with only one-third of the people working, the Roman Empire can still thrive, as long as one-tenth of them work hard for the cause. If the country works and these one-tenth of the people truly hold the power of Rome, then the Roman Empire can still develop steadily.
This is why the Roman Senate is often in a state of chaos, because many times these people are not needed to work, and the senators will naturally find something to do. Although the method is a bit weird, as long as it does not violate the spirit of Rome, it will not Basically, no one cares about harming the interests of the empire.
Just like now, the Roman Senate has started the evil god summoning ceremony again. However, Severus in Rome turns a blind eye to this. As long as it does not harm the interests of the empire, there will be friction and struggle between them. No one cares.
It's just that Pompianus went too far before, and Severus was too decisive, so much so that one-third of the senators actually evaporated. This is why the Senate recently began to restart parliament to limit the emperor's power. reason.
Severus said nothing about this, and finally accepted this fact, which reassured the Senate. In fact, Severus' logic was very simple. He was a soldier, so he should manage the army and his own affairs. Soldiers, just give them money and food, and give them honors.
As for the domestic economy and finance, that is all the matter of the domestic Senate. You can restrict this aspect as you like. As long as you give me money when I need it, Severus has no interest at all in other matters.
This is also the reason why Pompianus is still alive and well even though he is almost a target, because Severus' army is so powerful that it is impossible for others to fight against Severus. Gabon Pianus is Severus' money bag, and even if those in the Senate want to liquidate it, they still need to find an opportunity.
However, there was too much trouble last time, and the elders who were originally neutral and favored Pompianus are now a little alienated. After all, Pompianus's methods are too cruel, even if these people know that this method is very harmful to them. Rome had great benefits, but it was too much.
It was like everyone was talking and waiting for His Majesty Severus to come back, "I'll kill you", but in the end who would have thought that Pompianus was really telling the truth. I'm afraid you won't be able to say this in Rome in the future.
Naturally, regarding what had happened, the others, led by Papinian, silently distanced themselves from Pompianus and understood, but to do so would have gone too far.
"I've seen your Excellency the Prefect!" The soldier of the Tenth Knights Legion, who was holding open the door of the Roman Senate and peeping inside, saw Pompianus turning sideways and greeted him.
"Are you peeping again?" Pompianus looked at the soldiers of the Tenth Legion of Knights, whose mouths twitched. The Tenth Legion was clinging to Rome and refused to leave. The First Eagle Legion guarding Italy was beaten out by these bastards.
After that, no one cared about these bastards at all.
"There is no peeping, they all know that we are watching." The soldiers of the 10th Cavalry Legion said without moral integrity, "The financial officer has time to suggest restarting the citizens' assembly. I think it is useless for our legion commander to suggest this."
[Of course it’s useless!] Pompianus cursed in his heart, could he not know what the Tenth Knights Legion wanted to do? They couldn’t get into the Roman Senate, but in the citizens’ assembly, everyone in this group of knights could get in.
Go in and watch Emperor Caesar up close.
"Yes, I will." Pompianus nodded and said with a smile, and then a group of soldiers thanked Pompianus while sending him in. After Pompianus entered, a soldier
He took out the papyrus and put a check mark behind Pompianus's name.
"There are still more than 40 elders left, and we have more than half, and then we can form a citizens' assembly." The team leader said with an excited face, "Keep working hard, and when we have enough people, we will notify them one by one.
"
The average IQ of these soldiers is indeed not as good as that of the big guys like Pompinanus, but how can I put it? Isn't it the time when a man's wisdom is highest when he desires it most but can't get it, but also understands the way to get it?
?At that time, my IQ was steadily +100.
Ordinary soldiers are really not qualified to go to these big guys. The problem is that the Tenth Knights Legion has a noble status. When the time comes, they will not hug their thighs to show that this is what you said. As for talking about face, this kind of thing has
It doesn’t matter if you don’t have it!
Anyway, there will definitely be someone who wants to face him at that time, so as long as they gather enough people, they will definitely open the citizens' meeting, and then they will be able to gather around His Majesty Caesar.
"Is the Tenth Knight crazy?" The light cone on Palmiro's hand reflected the soldiers of the Tenth Knight Legion outside. Speaking of which, Caesar arranged this job for Palmiro. In Caesar's words,
If you don't keep an eye on the Tenth Knight, this legion will mess with you sooner or later.
"Is the Tenth Knight crazy?" Tacito turned his head to look at Palmiro after hearing this, and the corners of his eyes couldn't help but drop, "You're talking as if this legion is living a normal life?"
"However, even if it is abnormal, we still can't defeat it." Alessandro said with a smile, "Besides, the citizens' meeting is also very interesting. It has not been so lively in many years."
"Why are they so powerful?" Benito couldn't help but rolled his eyes as he looked at Vincenzo and Virgilio, who were just standing next to Caesar.
"I don't know, I just want to stay that strong anyway." Taqito said helplessly, "To be honest, if they weren't so strong, they would have been beaten to death long ago."
"Yes, anyone else would have been beaten to death long ago." Palmiro nodded silently and said.
"However, we can't beat them." Alessandro said unceremoniously, "Well, don't worry about Virgilio and Vincenzo. They are much more terrifying than us if they try hard."
Tacito and the others nodded silently. The Tenth Knight, as long as Caesar needs it, can make people's scalp numb.
"Emperor, come tomorrow to inspect our legion. Our tenth knight is already full again." Virgilio went over and hugged Caesar's thigh. The more he looked at Caesar, the more handsome he felt. As for being short, it was condensed.
They are all the essence.
"So fast?" Caesar was stunned. It was very difficult to replenish the troops with the three talents. Half of the tenth knight was disabled before, but it was replenished so quickly?
"This is what we say to the Emperor..." Vincenzo was blocked by Caesar before he could finish his words. Who knows how these people made it up, but it was definitely not a good idea.
"Okay, I will review you tomorrow." Caesar said calmly. Virgilio was overjoyed and finally got the emperor out of the Senate. If he didn't respect His Majesty's choice, the Senate would have done nothing but rob him or something.
, it’s not like there haven’t been threats anyway.
"Okay, now go back to your seats and let's start the meeting." Caesar brought back the legion of the Tenth Knight. For Pompianus, Caesar's evaluation was quite high. He was decisive in killing and so on. For Caesar
This is still a very important attribute for this kind of person.
The two guys who were sent back to their seats by Caesar did not listen to the report the whole time. They only thought about how to show their strength tomorrow. Speaking of which, the Tenth Knight Legion had indeed replenished its numbers, just like what they said to Alessandro at that time.
It's the same as the saying. Who wants your soldiers? If their quality is not enough, they can be strengthened. As long as they have enough love, they are invincible.
In short, the soldiers of the Tenth Knight recruited some retired fanatics from their own family and sent people to conduct closed assault training for six months. Now they are barely complete. As for the next generation of the Tenth Knight, they are training hard.
No way, the Tenth Knight has never been crippled by his opponent in the past. Usually, he was rolled over like the wheels of history.
"The above is last year's financial report. His Majesty Severus requested that the fiscal surplus be calculated to expand the army. Next, citizens who participated in the Roman-Parthian War will be given two months of additional rewards, and an additional month of food and salary will be provided to the auxiliaries.
." Pompianus said with a dark face, while the members of the Senate below fell into speechless silence.
It seems that it is not a good time to touch Pompianus recently. If this guy falls, Severus will not let them make money from the Senate. Kill me. The eagle flag and auxiliary troops have exceeded 400,000.
I actually want to expand the army. Am I crazy, or is Rome crazy?
"I feel that my energy is low these days. I hope you can nominate a suitable financier as my deputy and take over my responsibilities in the future." Pompianus felt that if he did not step down, Severus's style of play would sooner or later come to Rome.
To finish.
A group of senators looked at each other, and then stared at Pompianus naturally. Who is willing to take this hot thing? Every diamond, who dares to take this thing, is crazy.
