Simulating the Universe, Starting with Speedrunning Greece

Here we will talk about what the Plebeian Assembly and the Hortensius Law are...

This was a law that was almost forgotten in Rome by the upper classes and the Romans themselves.

According to the Hortensius Law, as long as a common assembly is convened and laws are established with the consent of the majority of common people, they can take effect immediately.

The Plebeian Assembly was different from the Citizens' Assembly. In the Citizens' Assembly, there were at least a number of tribunes elected from among the nobles, so the nobles and commoners held meetings together.

The Common People's Assembly is exactly as the name implies, it is composed entirely of common people.

The existence of the Hortensius Act itself is actually very absurd and has loopholes.

If the common people could come together and establish new Roman laws, then what was the point of having an assembly?

But this Roman law has not been abolished until now.

It is as absurd as the Twelve Tables, which were almost defined by the words of the nobles.

The existence of the Hortensius Law was undoubtedly discovered by Ye, and Tiberius in history would eventually think of this method to achieve his goal.

And now Ye has only brought this interesting plan forward countless times.

There were passionate speeches and various legal loopholes were constantly exploited.

This combination of punches, which should have been split over more than a decade, came in one go, and even the nobles in the Senate who had decades of political experience were stunned.

They were a little dizzy——!

As the elders continued to watch, they felt as if they were being fooled.

This legal document is not complete.

Even such an important application, the other party did not care at all, and mentioned at the end without any respect -

I hope the Senate can carefully consider the above three bills. If they can be passed, they will release the subsequent parts.

If the Senate is unwilling to agree to these three points, there is no need to consider the rest.

That plain speech, although it said nothing - seemed to say everything.

He is just short of mocking you outright, afraid that he might accidentally piss you off to death, and many of the Senate elders are already going crazy.

"What are they going to do?! Threaten?"

“This is intimidation!!!

This is a disrespect for Roman law and a contempt for the Senate!!”

"Damn Lista Night, damn the Gracchus brothers, damn Tiberius Sempronius Gracchus!

See what he said?

What does he want to do? If we disagree, we can call a citizens' assembly, and if the citizens' assembly disagrees, we can call a common people's assembly?

Did he think he was the King of Rome?

They are actually prepared to force their own bill through those ignorant civilians. "

“This is the control of the Romans!

What on earth does he want to do? Is he planning a rebellion? "

At this moment, many elders roared in shock and anger -!

The roar echoed throughout the hall.

This time, the other party really touched their bottom line.

If Tiberius were allowed to establish his own laws in this way this time.

Then Tiberius, who controlled the power of the common people, was indirectly controlling Rome.

From now on, all Roman laws could be modified by him.

At that time-

With this supreme power, even if he is not an emperor, isn't he better than the Roman emperor?

Chapter 105: Draw the snake out of its hole, Scipio the Younger's position: inaction is the best action

The Romans no longer needed kings or emperors.

The existence of Tiberius and others has threatened the foundation of their great Roman Republic rule.

The irritated elders could no longer sit still and decided to take some action, taking a risk -

Prepare to assassinate Tiberius!

And all of this was long gone in the night, and their blatant "plot" in the hall was not heard.

certainly--

Even without listening, Ye could guess what these nobles in the Senate would do next.

Or--

Not forcing the Senate to pass the more advanced, complete bill established by him and the Gracchi brothers.

Instead, he directly used the original "Hortensius Method" to stimulate many elders.

Coming up with this semi-finished product, to some extent, even conforms to the original history of failure and follows in the old path of Tiberius.

But this time it is completely different from history.

In history, Tiberius was forced into a desperate situation and acted like a gangster. He wanted to force reforms in this way to realize his ambitions.

But this method sounds unreliable, and everyone knows it will fail.

Although it is a failed path, it is undeniable that it is quite effective in deliberately provoking the senators.

Night did this on purpose...

He even took the initiative to provoke the Senate to take action.

Any reform is bound to involve bloodshed... and open and covert fighting is inevitable.

But Ye didn't have any idea. He just accompanied a group of old bitches and played tricks for more than ten years.

If we follow the normal process, and scheme against these senators and counter their obstruction, the results will be too slow.

By the time the Agricultural Land Law is actually established and implemented and produces results, I'm afraid the flowers will have wilted many times.

If you want to accelerate this transformation process, you must shed blood! !

This blood can come from the Senate, nobles, commoners, or anyone else. It intensifies the conflict and becomes the fuse that completely ignites and explodes the conflict.

We must first let more people see and realize who our enemies are and make the class divisions more clear.

Only when the common people unite can they exert greater power. At that time, even the powerful Senate will find it easy to overthrow it.

On this side, after leaving the Senate, Ye returned to his temporary residence in Rome.

At this time, many retired Roman soldiers had already hidden in the residence.

As soon as he entered the room, Ye found a place to sit down and asked calmly, "How are the contacts going? Proni Yuge."

“Retired soldiers from several cities near Rome have now joined us.

As for the contact with the active soldiers, under the introduction of Sir Tiberius, our people have already met Lord Scipio the Younger.

The other party said that he only cared about fighting and did not take sides in Rome’s family affairs. ”

Proni Yug - the man named after the land of 'Yug', was the leader of retired soldiers who were recruited by Ye to protect Tiberius, and now followed Ye.

And now Proni was looking at Ye's figure with great respect, longing and enthusiasm.

It was because he had been following Ye and others and witnessed all the plans made by Ye that Proni completely believed that the man in front of him was the savior of Rome - the true "last hero of Rome."

Even the arrogant behemoth, the Senate, was fooled by it.

The Gracchi brothers all respectfully called him the "mentor" on the road of life! They learned a lot from him and knew a lot about the dark side of Rome that they had not realized even if they did not pay close attention.

This made the Gracchus brothers heartbroken and cry countless times.

Having witnessed all these great feats accomplished by Night, Proni no longer hesitates and believes that Night can really help them take back their land and live a normal life again.

How long has it been? I never expected that a future that I no longer expected would have new possibilities.

In the past, they were forced to not be able to live like human beings. They could only act like scoundrels and gangsters, and they degenerated and associated with losers.

But now - there is a chance. He, Proni Yug - and the thousands of brothers behind him, want to be human beings!

Ye: “Very good, as long as Scipio the Younger’s army does not get involved, it will be the greatest support for us.

It seems that the army has long been dissatisfied with Rome.

Haha - after all, this was Rome's own fault, as it took the initiative to push its soldiers to the opposite side.

If the new legal reform is successful, all soldiers will benefit from it, and they really have no reason to stop it. Not only should they not stop it, they will want to join in.

Proni - Notify the personnel to have more soldiers disguised as civilians join the team protecting Tiberius.

We are going to proceed to the next step of the plan——!"

【Lue the snake out of its hole! 】

Ye: ...Once weapons are pointed at civilians, the power in the hands of the Senate will lose its impartiality, and the enraged people will be completely pushed to the opposite side.

very good--!

Although the enemy might be the entire Roman landlord class and upper class.

But his teammates were all the civilians and soldiers of Rome.

This time, the advantage is on my side!

At this moment, Ye was extremely confident, and while he was giving orders to Proni, on the other side——

Similarly, the nobles in the Senate were extremely confident about the upcoming "assassination".

Rather than an assassination, it would be more like an attempt to kill someone openly.

Tiberius is not Lucienius. When Lucienius proposed the Agricultural Land Law, few people took him seriously and supported him.

Until he was killed, probably few Roman civilians remembered his name.

But it would be much more difficult to kill Tiberius who was protected by so many civilians.

Finally, the Senate decided to use private armies...

Directly kill all the civilians including Tiberius!

This is the only way to be safe - if Tiberius is injured because of concern for the safety of civilians, the senators will be so angry that they will laugh.

And history seemed to have returned to the starting point.

This time the Senate is still prepared to use the same reason.

That is, they used the excuse that the civilians who were protecting Tiberius often carried sticks and other self-defense weapons as an excuse to directly convict them of supporting Tiberius in rebellion.

Since it was a rebellion, those citizens and free men were no longer Romans.

They are the ones who should be suppressed!

Like the rebels on the Spanish battlefield and the rioting slaves in Sicily, they must die!

Only blood can appease Rome's anger, and all dissenting voices must be suppressed!

Chapter 106: More people than others? See who is surrounding whom.

A few days later, under the intentional guidance of the night.

The senators quickly found the right opportunity.

After their investigation, they found that Ye had not left Rome for a long time.

Tiberius, however, continued to give speeches in cities around Rome, arguing that land laws needed to be reformed.

Now the powerful hero Ye is not guarding him.

They are just a group of civilians, a mob. It shouldn't be difficult to kill them.
