Conquer all worlds starting from the mythical Three Kingdoms
Chapter 662: Zhuge Liang, King of Rome
"Father, are you going to elect the Roman emperor?"
Pomponi Bassus, the son of Pipoanus, asked with some excitement.
When he heard the news, he was completely stunned. Then his mind quickly connected it to some random things that Pippenianus had suddenly said to him before, and he instantly thought that this was what Pippenianus was talking about.
When Pippianus heard his son ask this, his face turned as black as the bottom of a pot.
Even my own son has this terrible attitude now. God knows what the situation outside has become.
"Father, no wonder you agreed to nominate Annia as the commander of the Seventh Legion of Rome. Was it to pave the way for this?"
"Get out!" Pippenianus couldn't bear it anymore and kicked his stupid son out.
To be honest, he had never thought about this before, but after being helped by Zhuge Liang, he suddenly realized that he was really qualified to run for the Roman emperor.
No wonder as soon as someone started it, a large group of people immediately followed suit, causing everyone to look at him strangely.
Especially when it comes to Annia, his daughter-in-law, the granddaughter of the late emperor, and a branch of the Claudius family...
Originally, he just wanted to give Aniya a chance with the idea of recommending talents. After all, there were too many legion commanders who died or were injured, and a female legion commander might be a change.
To be honest, the starting point was good, but now it has become a symbol of his precautionary intervention in the Roman Eagle Legion.
The military expenses of the entire Roman Eagle Legion had to pass through his hands. To a certain extent, he did have the conditions to win over the Eagle Legion.
Thinking of this, Piponanus couldn't help but rub his brows. Maybe he shouldn't have tried to assassinate Zhuge Liang. If that was the case, Palmiro would most likely stand on his side, along with Benito, the commander of the Fourteenth Legion, Marche, the commander of the Twelve Thunder Legion, and Camillo, the 30th undefeated Trajan...
He was able to win over quite a few members of the Eagle Flag Corps, but now Palmiro and Camillo were probably standing against him.
People always firmly believe in what they have thought out. Just as he used righteousness to drive Palmiro and Camillo to assassinate Zhuge Liang, he next participated in the election of the Roman emperor. Isn't this an operation of uniting factions to attack dissidents?
Palmiro and Camillo now wished they could eat Pippanus.
Palmiro, in particular, was really on the verge of death. Now that he realized that if Zhuge Liang killed him, Pippianus might take over the Fifth Skylark to strengthen his own power and use it to run for the Roman emperor, Palmiro had become completely popular.
Can't I be won over? Must I die?
You, Pippanus, have gone too far!
Palmiro angrily surrendered to Zhuge Liang, who spared his life regardless of past grudges.
The original righteous cause became a dirty political toy, and Palmiro simply threw the damn righteous cause away.
Anyway, he has already sacrificed himself for Rome, so the rest is none of his business.
Camillus had the same idea, especially since he could not get along with the undefeated Trajan and the second Augustus.
The undefeated Trajan snatched the second eagle flag from the Second Augustus, but returned it several years later because of the Monro War.
But the Second Augustus would still come to provoke from time to time, then knock the undefeated Trajan down and leave, as if to avenge the arrow he shot at him that year.
It was a miracle that Trajan remained undefeated back then, as he managed to snatch the Second Augustus away. Now that the Second Augustus has crossed the line of miracle, it was as if he was declaring to Rome that their eagle flag was not for sale, but that they had the ability to snatch it back.
"Zhuge Kongming, you will regret this!" After staring at the map of Rome for a long time, sparks of ambition appeared in Piponanus' eyes.
I have already put on the yellow robe, what else can I say? Since you, Zhuge Kongming, have put me in this place, I will have a real fight with you.
Along with a series of actions by Pippenianus, the wind direction of the whole of Rome seemed to have changed, as if the east wind that had previously completely turned to Zhuge Liang had changed direction.
Deep down, everyone seems to support orthodox Roman citizens becoming Roman emperors.
"Military Advisor, why aren't you in a hurry at all? The situation seems to be wrong now!" Wei Yan was a little confused. The news he heard was terrifying.
Even Pippenianus had already begun to attack the 16th and 22nd Legions. Whatever Zhuge Liang could give, Pippenianus could also give, at least temporarily.
"Don't be in a hurry, you need patience when fishing!"
Zhuge Liang smiled slightly. He had pushed Pippenanus to this point, so how could he not have estimated the situation?
He just wanted Pippenianus to exert his strength. If he didn't, how could he use the opponent's strength to his advantage?
As the citizens' election approached, Nigel, Arnubis and others had been completely eliminated, leaving only Zhuge Liang and Pippianus as the only candidates left.
"Mr. Zhuge!"
After trying in vain, Arnubis chose to submit to Zhuge Liang. After all, Maximinus' life as a duke was quite comfortable, and he felt that he should be able to do more or less the same as Maximinus.
Since he couldn't be the Roman emperor, he might as well just be a border duke.
Nigel sided with Pippianus. After all, the area controlled by Nigel was relatively wealthy, and cooperation with Pippianus, the financial officer, would be more conducive to economic development.
The Roman Empire seemed to begin to split on the eve of the citizens' election, and the speed was so fast that even Octavian was somewhat caught off guard.
"The situation seems to have changed again!" Octavian sighed as he sat next to Nero.
"It seems that such a huge empire is about to split into two parts, east and west!"
"If you and I create a new empire together, its future will be like this!" Nero said indifferently.
"Yeah!" Octavian sighed.
Times are changing. The glory of the past is ultimately just a golden body. If it is broken, all that remains is the struggle for interests and political games.
At this moment, Octavian no longer had the intention to recruit Nero.
"I heard that you have been studying the gods in mythology recently!" Nero suddenly asked after a moment of silence.
"Yes, what do you think?" Octavian admitted it frankly. Roman God, Roman God, why couldn't he become a real God?
There were no such conditions back then, but now, the Second Augustus is strong enough to create these conditions for him.
"I also have some experience. Why don't we share it?" Nero said after a moment.
Octavian and Nero completely put aside the political struggles in Rome and began to concentrate on their own research on gods.
They all knew that Pippianus could not win.
The fact that Pippenianus and Zhuge Liang were evenly matched in strength actually showed the failure of Pippenianus.
If you can't defeat Zhuge Liang within the framework, any straw outside the framework can become the last straw that breaks the camel's back.
It was because Octavian realized this that he finally gave up the political game with Zhuge Liang and chose to remain silent.
When the citizens' election ended, Zhuge Liang won an overwhelming victory with an 80% advantage, while Pipenanus only had 20% support.
"It was just a dream!"
Pippenianus slumped in the chair and closed his eyes. He knew that the moment Zhuge Liang pushed him into the fire pit, he had actually been obsessed. It was a pity that he was also blinded by the so-called ambition.
He really thought he could win, and now he has put all his weight in it, but ended up losing miserably.
At this point, life and death are left to fate.
"Father, His Majesty Zhuge has called a meeting of the Senate!"
When Pipenianus heard this, he slowly stood up from his chair. This is the final judgment.
When Pippenianus walked towards the Senate, the Roman senators who had greeted Pippenianus warmly in the past now all kept their distance from him.
The only ones left behind Piponanus were his son and daughter-in-law, and even his family members chose to avoid them.
"I've hurt you!"
Pippenianus was a little discouraged. The success or failure makes the king a king. From the moment he was confused by the position of Roman emperor, he was destined to either succeed or fall to pieces.
"Father!"
Pomponi Bassus didn't know what to say. His life had experienced so many ups and downs. It seemed that both sides were evenly matched before, but the Citizens' Assembly suffered a disastrous defeat in the vote, and even some of the senators who had been won over changed their minds at the last minute.
The meeting held by the Senate was naturally about Zhuge Liang's coronation ceremony and the development direction of New Rome.
After a series of inauguration ceremonies for Roman emperors, Zhuge Liang was awarded the honorary title of "Augustus", which also meant that he became the first citizen of Rome.
However, at the last coronation ceremony, Zhuge Liang refused the coronation of the senators of the Senate, and did not invite Octavian and Nero to be crowned.
Instead, choose to bow to the void.
"Please Emperor!"
Mu Yi's figure appeared in the Roman Senate across thousands of miles through the starlight.
Appearing along with Mu Yi are the four military gods Han Xin, Bai Qi, Wu Qi, and Sun Wu, as well as the five feudal kings Ma Chao, Liu Bei, Cao Cao, Sun Quan, and Yue Fei.
"Kong Ming, you did a great job!"
Mu Yi looked at Zhuge Liang and smiled. This step represented Zhuge Liang's success. He personally put on the nine tassels symbolizing the princes for Zhuge Liang.
crown.
"From now on, I will anoint you as the King of Rome in the name of Huang Tian!"
"Thank you, Emperor!"
As the two interacted, all Roman citizens felt a sense of sadness, which represented the dissipation of the will of the Roman Empire.
The moment Zhuge Liang accepted Mu Yi's coronation, the Roman imperial will had already been absorbed by the Xinghan Empire's will.
But in the next moment, they felt a more abundant feeling, which was the radiance of the will of the Xinghan Empire.
Both Octavian and Nero felt that all their shackles had been removed and they had regained their freedom. They also understood that after their death, it seemed that someone had provided them with some kind of insurance to prevent them from resurrecting their bodies.
"Future generations are to be feared!" Octavian sighed. It turned out that this was the real reason why they could not carry the will of the empire.
All previous speculations were refuted, and the bloody reality was laid before us.
It goes without saying that this was the work of the Roman senators.
Mu Yi glanced at Octavian and Nero, nodded slightly to them, then turned and disappeared.
After the fact of annexation by the imperial will was established, Rome was finally and completely incorporated as a part of the Galaxy.
The whole world has been unified in a true sense. Unlike the previous superficial unity, this time it is a real unity.
There is only one empire in the entire world, the Xinghan Empire, and only one master, Mu Yi.
The stars in the sky shine brightly, as if announcing the birth of the Lord of the World.
"Unlike the Netherworld, is it difficult to complete the hymn transformation..." Mu Yi felt the new changes and finally shook his head.
The larger the world, the more difficult it is to accomplish the achievement of hymnization, not to mention the pressure from Jedi Tongtian. Being able to mobilize part of the world's resources is already a remarkable ability.
Just as Mu Yi was feeling the new changes, Zhuge Liang, who had become the King of Xinghan Rome, also began to confer titles on his ministers.
Caracalla was the Duke of the South, Arnubis was the Duke of the East, Maximinus was the Duke of the North, and Wei Yan was the Duke of the West.
Nigel was deprived of his position as Duke because he stood on the wrong side. However, he was not directly shelved. Instead, he was named Governor of the Atlantic by Zhuge Liang to open up the maritime territory.
"Pippianus..."
When he heard his own name, Pippianus' heart trembled. He found that he was clearly prepared to be sentenced, but at this juncture, he couldn't help but feel shaken.
"Remain in the position of Treasurer!"
"Pomponi Bassus will serve under the Treasurer, and Ania will continue to serve as the commander of the Seventh Eagle Banner Legion!"
Pippenianus was stunned. He had no idea what Zhuge Liang meant by this arrangement. It was completely different from what he thought.
Zhuge Liang actually pardoned his rival.
Especially at this time when no matter how we deal with him, no one will stand up to speak for him.
But in a flash, Pippanus understood Zhuge Liang's intention.
He turned his head and looked at his supporters. They had not received Zhuge Liang's pardon, which meant that even if he served as treasurer, he would never be able to stir up any trouble in Rome again.
Because all those who supported him were disbanded, and the only ones left were Zhuge Liang's people.
What's even worse is that he was pardoned, which gave him a feeling as if he was playing a double act with Zhuge Liang and had deceived others.
Pippanus sighed. He realized that he was no match for Zhuge Liang, not from the very beginning.
There were only two options before him now: either accept the position of treasurer and burn the last drop of blood for the Roman Kingdom, or let his whole family ascend to heaven.
Those Roman senators who had not been pardoned had already set an example for him.
But now, if he had died in the past, his descendants would have someone to take care of them, but now that he is dead, his descendants may be trampled to death.
Too many people have been offended.
"I obey your command and thank you!" Pippanus made his final choice: it is better to live a miserable life than to die.
