Have You Considered Xinyue to Be a Military Division?

"I'm wondering if Emperor Nero can withdraw the governor he appointed and replace him with someone more suitable!"

"be opposed to!"

"sit down!"

"Go to hell!"

The senators sitting across from the bald old man sternly objected, while the senators sitting in the same row as the old man nodded in support.

The two sides scolded each other.

The entire Senate suddenly became lively, no one could persuade the other party, and no one could agree with the other party, so the two groups of people argued and refuted each other, just like property quarrels.

When the quarrel is almost over, the consul will stand up again and ask Nero for his opinion, and Nero will speak under the guidance of his teacher Seneca.

In this way, after each topic has passed, the time has passed from morning to afternoon.

The elders who finished their meal in the palace returned to their seats one by one, their faces flushed.

In the center of the hall, the consul's expression became serious after communicating with a soldier.

After hitting the floor four times with his crutches, he said in a deep voice, "The message I just received was sent from the province of Britannia a month ago..."

Hit the floor four times.

The elders realized the seriousness of the problem, and even Nero stopped smiling.

"Queen Boudica of Issini, dissatisfied with the annexation of her tribal land by the financial officer Gatus, united several tribes to launch a rebellion,

Colchester had fallen, tens of thousands of citizens died, and then they marched towards London with nearly 10 people, and the situation is now unknown. "

(what......)

Chapter 43 Yulia Vipsania Agripina

Rome, Italy.

The current queen mother, Yulia Vipsania Agripina, is sitting in her bedroom, with her back against the sun.

Four or five female slaves stood behind her, combing her long hair and cleaning her dander.In the corner, musicians plucked the harp, and famous writers followed the music and recited poems in Greek.

Suddenly a bell rang outside the door, followed by small footsteps, as if someone had released tens of thousands of cattle and sheep.

The Senate next door is over.

Agrippina was silent for three seconds, then withdrew her hand from the slave and waved it lightly.

Everyone in the room stopped at the same time, bowed and exited.

Not long after, the footsteps outside the door became less and less, the door of the bedroom was knocked open, and a fat old man walked into the room.

"Seneca." Agrippina nodded quietly.

"His Royal Highness." The old man bowed.

Agrippina glanced at the open door behind him indiscriminately, and found that there was no one following the old man, her eyelids drooped slightly.

Seneca keenly caught this movement, and smiled, "His Royal Highness Nero asked me to say hello to you."

Agrippina gave a "hmm" without making any expression, just put her hands on her knees, quietly looking out the window in a daze.

Her room was the highest point of the Palatine Hill, and she could overlook the entire city of Rome through the window. Below the imperial palace, the senators who left the meeting walked on the road, densely packed, like groups of white ants.

This is the seat of power.Before Nero ascended the throne, she was here to help the old emperor deal with government affairs.

It was like falling into a dreamlike state of mind, and no one spoke for a long time.

Seneca was used to this kind of silence, and in his opinion, it was just a prank by those in power, who liked to tease their subordinates in this way.

After a long time, Agrippina sighed and turned her eyes to him: "Britannia, what's the situation with Paulinus?"

Theoretically speaking, the content of the meeting of the Senate should be kept strictly confidential. This kind of topic that was raised at the meeting just now should not be spread to the ears of people other than the senators after the meeting is over.

But Seneca would not have been surprised if that person had been the Queen Mother.

Sometimes, she got the news even faster than the Senate, and often some information was not mentioned by the Senate, and the Queen Mother had already asked him to discuss it in advance.

"Paulinus went on an expedition to Wales, and England was attacked by Boudicca's tribe. Now Paulinus is rushing back to calm down." Seneca bowed slightly, his belly protruding.

"There were four legions stationed in Britannia, as I recall," said Agrippina.

Seneca nodded: "Yes, the 2nd Augustus Legion, the 9th Spanish Legion, the 14th Gemini Legion, and the 20th Victorious Legion."

"Where are the legionnaires stationed?" Agrippina asked coldly.

"Paulinus took away the 14th and 20th Army, the 9th Army was routed at Colchester and was badly damaged, and the status of the 2nd Army is unknown."

"The decision of the Senate now?"

Seneca pondered for a moment, "They plan to send people to investigate. If Paulinus fails to counter the rebellion, they will consider withdrawing from Britannia."

"Heh, it's a good plan."

Agrippina couldn't help but sneer, "The province of Britannia is the glory laid down by the first emperor Claudius himself. They can lose it if they want?"

Seneca smiled and said nothing.

He can't comment on it casually.

"At the beginning, my great-grandfather, Emperor Augustus, divided the province into two, and the rich land was handed over to the Senate, which was called the Senate Province.

Frontiers and important military towns were handed over to the emperor, and they were called the emperor's provinces. "

Agrippina stood up, looked out the window and said leisurely: "This is the attitude that has already been expressed. We can do without money, but we cannot do without soldiers."

Seneca remained silent, smiling like an old fox.

"This is also the reason why each generation of emperors must firmly control the imperial guards... After all, can an emperor without soldiers still be an emperor?"

Agrippina came to the window and looked down at a struggling beetle with its back turned.

"And now, the Germans have begun to harass the Gaul Province again, and the Judea Province has also frequently set off riots. The Celts in Britannia even burned the city, but the Second Army stationed has been missing for a long time."

She said while laughing, stretched out her hand and poked the beetle with her index finger, and turned the beetle over: "Tell me, Seneca, why are the emperor's provinces rioting, and your Senate province is so peaceful and peaceful?"

The conversation ended, but no one came back, like a stone falling into the sea, without a word.

But Agrippina didn't seem to be in a hurry to answer, she just narrowed her eyes and looked at the old man with a half-smile.

A drop of cold sweat fell from the corner of Seneca's forehead, his smile stiffened, and his double chin stopped shaking.

It was silent for a long time, and the temperature in the room seemed to drop to freezing point.

"Huh~"

After a long time, with a chuckle, the ice surface shattered.

All the oppression seemed to disappear in an instant, and the woman was like an ordinary mother, smiling dotingly, shaking her head, and said, "Nero is still too young...I was late for the theater again today. Bar?"

Seneca breathed a sigh of relief, and quickly followed the topic: "This is just a trivial hobby of His Highness Nero, and His Highness is actually very good."

"You don't need to tell me, she was born to me, and I know better than you." Agrippina rolled her eyes, full of charm.

Immediately, her expression changed again, she was very melancholy, she held her chin and said, "It's just that she's been blaming me recently...everyone has a rebellious period."

she......

Seneca paid a little attention to this pronoun, then pretended not to hear, and said with a smile: "Your Highness will understand your painstaking efforts one day."

"Of course she understands, she has always understood, otherwise she would not have listened to me for so long." Agrippina shook her head, her eyes full of worry.

"But you can't be the emperor of Rome just by listening to your mother."

......

Rome, Britannia, London.

The sky was getting brighter, and there was a vast expanse of white mist all around.

The gate of London was opened early, and a team stretched from the sky to the city, slowly moving in, with no end in sight.

The Celts dragged their families and trudged on the muddy ground, with one foot deep and one foot shallow, with cowhide boxes and tent straw mats on horseback, clanging.

"It's been moving all night, and the team still has no end in sight." Fei silently jumped down from the eaves and stood behind Neos.

"Ah, the number of people is a bit unexpected."

Neos looked serious and looked down at the crowd, "I thought they were here to fight, but I didn't expect they were planning to migrate."

"I don't know if the city can pretend or not?" Fei looked down the city, worried.

"Absolutely can't fit it."

Neos shook his head and asserted: "Even if the open space is marked out, it is not enough for them to build a shed on the spot.

And it will rain in a few days, and everyone wants to live indoors, so should the aborigines be driven into huts, or should the Celts live in huts?

And that's just a matter of living. "

"But haven't they all been living in tents?" Fee asked.

"This is the human heart, girl. If you live in a good place, you don't want to live in a bad one, and if you eat delicious food, you don't want to go back to eat the chaff.

It is easy to go from frugal to extravagant, but difficult to go from extravagant to frugal. "

Neos raised his hand to his eyebrows, squinted his eyes and looked at the back of the team: "Is that the tribe of Essini?"

"Well, because the queen's tribe has the fewest people, the leaders are the last to enter the city." Fei nodded.

"very good!"

Neos put down his hands and turned back: "Tell the queen to stop the team, turn around, and return to the camp!"

Chapter 44 Chapter 44 The first contradiction

Neos rode his horse to stop before the migrating team, jumped off the horse and went directly to Boudica on the chariot, and Fei followed behind him and led the horse for him.
