My XX deal with Sister Nero
Page 34
"Vitellius, what you said makes a lot of sense!" Nero said, looking at the handsome middle-aged man with an admiring look.
"Vitellius?" Hearing the name, Tony subconsciously turned his head to look at the middle-aged man.
This is Vitellius, the Roman Emperor who put an end to Otto during the Four Emperors’ Civil War?
Because of the game, Tony paid attention to the history of the Roman Empire. As for the Roman Emperor Vitellius, who was not mentioned much in history, Tony only knew that he ended Otto's emperor career and was then overthrown by Vespasian.
Oh, no, pause for a moment!
The four emperors in the Four Emperors’ Rebellion are Galba, Otho, Vitellius and Vespasian. Now two of these four emperors have appeared, but these two... emmm... why are they so cowardly?
Galba was timid and Vitellius looked like a fawning eunuch. What the hell? Could it be that Vespasian was the only emperor of these four who was good enough? After all, Vespasian founded the Flavian dynasty, right?
"Ahem, um, sister, I want to ask a question." Tony wiped the orange juice from the corner of his mouth, coughed lightly, looked at Nero who was standing next to him with a silly face, and asked in a low voice.
"Huh? What's the matter, brother? What do you want to ask?" Nero bent down slightly, lowered his height to about the same height as Tony, and asked with a smile.
"Ahem, it's like this. I heard that the empire had a consul named Vespasian before. I'm a little curious about this person and want to ask him a few questions... Who is Vespasian?" Tony asked, blinking.
"Vespasian? Are you talking about Vespasian?" Nero looked up and glanced at the people around him, then shouted to a young man not far away: "Nerva, why haven't I seen Vespasian recently? Where did he go?"
Nerva???
Tony's brows jumped when he heard the name!
Nerva, the founder of the Antonine dynasty and the leader of the Five Good Emperors!
He was also a well-known poet in the Roman Empire and the adoptive father of Trajan, the owner of the bathhouse!
Hearing the Emperor summoning him again, the young man named Nerva stepped forward quickly, bowed slightly to Nero and said, "Your Majesty, since Vespasianus fell asleep at your personal concert last month and was expelled by you, it is said that he resigned from his public office the next day and has been missing since then."
Holy shit! This one is 6!
Tony admired in his heart, he was worthy of being the founder of the Flavian Dynasty, worthy of being the man who ended the civil strife among the Four Emperors, others would have tried hard not to foam at the mouth at the Emperor's personal concert, but this big guy dared to just fall asleep!
A big boss is a big boss, and you can tell a lot from the little you see!
PS1: In history, Vespasian was really a man who dared to sleep at Nero's concert, and he was really expelled from the concert by Nero.
PS2: Nerva, the first of the Five Good Emperors in history, was indeed one of the two major erotic writers in Rome during the reign of Nero, but what he wrote was non-fiction. Yes, he wrote down all his erotic experiences. To us it is a erotic book, but to him it was a diary. In addition, the other one of the two major erotic writers in Rome was Nero, or it can be said that Nero's erotic works were also written by Nerva, but they were just written under Nero's name.
PS3: I owe 96 more chapters now, goodbye, see you tomorrow! At home, under the supervision of my parents, I have to go to bed early and get up early, so I can’t practice Taoism.
Chapter 85: The Situation in Rome
During Nero's reign, the Roman Empire had several future emperors, including Galba, Otto, Vitellius, Vespasian, Vespasian's two children, and Nerva. Among these emperors, one started the Four Emperors' Civil War, one established the Flavian Dynasty, and another founded the Antonine Dynasty. It can be said that these emperors have left a significant mark in Roman history!
But look at them, look at these future emperors! Galba is so timid now. Although Otto came to Rome as Galba's deputy, Tony has not seen him yet. And what about Vitellius? He fawns on the emperor like a eunuch. As for Nerva, the leader of the Five Good Emperors... well, he is still one of the two best-selling writers in Rome.
Only Vespasian was a little bit more powerful, as he dared to sleep at His Majesty Nero's solo concert!
So, here, the author wants to tell all of you colleagues, look at our predecessors, look at Nerva! Although he wrote pornographic novels, he was also a writer, right? Look at him, as long as he worked hard, not only did he not fail, he became a best-selling author, and later he became an emperor, isn't that amazing?
I won’t say any more. I will finish coding this chapter and continue to work…
Ahem, the topic has gone too far.
In short, he always thought that the reason why these future emperors could become emperors must be that they had their own outstanding qualities. At the very least, they must be heroes, right? After all, the four emperors during the Four Emperors' Civil War were originally warlords, warlords of the Roman Empire! How could they be like this...
The grand birthday celebration lasted the whole day, from morning till night. Tony just felt that he was full, so he took a rest for a while, relaxed and ate again, then rested again, and ate again... This cycle continued until the sun had set long ago. Tony couldn't help but admire it. It was said that the Romans had no entertainment facilities at that time, and relied entirely on banquets and baths for entertainment. Now it seems, hey, it's true!
In his previous life, Tony had seen people who got drunk and went to the toilet to pick their throats and vomit, then came back to continue drinking, but he had never seen anyone who ate too much and went to the toilet to pick their throats and vomit, then came back to continue eating!
Damn... It's a good thing you are not allowed to eat with your hands at this kind of banquet, otherwise Tony might vomit.
After the birthday celebration, early the next morning, at a regular meeting in the Senate, Nero finally proposed that Tony's guards would no longer be under the jurisdiction of the Praetorian Guards, but would be managed by His Royal Highness the Prince himself.
The Senate had no objection to this.
Although the Senate had previously speculated that Tony's fiefdom was in the British province because the Emperor wanted to completely control the border, but having said that, controlling the border is not something that can be accomplished in a short period of time.
Moreover, even if the Senate opposed it, what could it do? Without these more than 40 cavalrymen, would Tony be unable to control the border areas?
Besides, let’s not talk about the fact that these more than 40 cavalrymen have already been His Royal Highness’s actual troops. Even if they are not, by the time His Royal Highness Tony becomes powerful, it will be him, not Nero, who will control the British province. By that time, this ignorant little His Royal Highness should have grown up, right?
By then, His Royal Highness the little prince should show a corresponding desire for power, right?
Therefore, if this little prince really controls Britain at that time, it will not be a bad thing for the Senate!
As for the second proposal, to separate the Internal Guard, the Senate's opposition was not very strong.
After all, this is aimed at the Imperial Guards, so let's fight it out. It would be best if the two could fight each other. In this way, wouldn't the Senate be able to reap the benefits?
So although a few senators opposed it, fearing that this would increase Nero's control over the city of Rome, overall, most senators were in favor of it.
Although the overall strength of the Senate and the royal family is far stronger than that of the Praetorian Guard, if a real war breaks out, even if the Senate has millions or tens of millions of troops under its command, they are outside the country and will not be able to support Rome in time.
Therefore, it would be great if the emperor could weaken the Imperial Guards. Even if he cannot weaken them and cause the Imperial Guards to rebound, then His Majesty the Emperor will have to take a step back and give the Imperial Guards a certain degree of compensation.
Anyway, no matter who wins or loses, the Senate will definitely make a profit.
Although it was common knowledge that the Internal Guard was only nominally under the management of the Imperial Guard, at least there was a name for it, right? Now you were going to deprive them of even this "name", so the Imperial Guard naturally disagreed. After the Senate meeting, the Imperial Guard officers who learned of this were naturally unhappy. Under the instigation of several senior officers, at noon that day, almost all the middle and senior officers went to the palace to demand that His Majesty withdraw the order.
Take back the order? This was impossible. Nero tried his best to persuade them, and finally he managed to calm the anger of the Guards by offering them the right to recruit soldiers on their own to make up for the shortfall and a reward of 100 gold coins from the emperor.
"So, brother, you plan to look for Vespasianus?"
That afternoon, inside the palace, Tony sat at a small round table, sipping grape juice from the glass, looking at Nero with an obedient face.
"Yeah." Tony put down the cup, blinked, then sighed with a resentful expression, "Sister, you know, the environment over there is very difficult. I have no soldiers or generals. The only one who can be considered a general is Mary. Vespasian was the deputy general of the German Legion and participated in the campaign against Britain. If I have any trouble over here, Vespasian can calm the situation for me."
"To...suppress...the situation?" Nero was unable to react to this new term for a moment.
"Yes, keep the situation under control!" Tony nodded and said.
Nero frowned, and after thinking for a while, he nodded. "Brother, to be honest, Vespasianus is quite qualified as a general, except that he has no musical talent. At least in the Battle of Britain, he was steady and made almost no strategic or tactical mistakes..."
Tony nodded. He could guess that.
As the commander-in-chief of the later Jewish Campaign, he was able to suppress the rebellion in the Jewish region in a short period of time while controlling nine Roman legions in a short period of time. He defeated all the rebels while three emperors including Galba were fighting to their last breath and became the founder of the Flavian Dynasty. From this point alone, we can infer that his political and strategic vision were still quite far-sighted.
Now that Vespasian has been expelled by Nero, he is afraid of greater retaliation so he hides. If Tony finds him at this time, or Nero sends someone to find him, and tells him that His Majesty was very angry, but His Royal Highness the Prince pleaded for him, so His Majesty let him go... then even if Vespasian will not be completely devoted to him, he will definitely find a way to repay this life-saving grace.
Moreover, with Vespasian's reputation, he would be able to intimidate those Celtic tribes in Britain by then.
"But..." After a brief pause, Nero looked at Tony, patted his head, and said, "Brother, do you think that if I find Vespasianus and ask him to help you, will the Senate... agree?"
"Huh?" Tony was stunned for a moment, and thought about it carefully...that shouldn't be the case, right?
The prince is a member of the royal family. In the Roman Empire of this era, the royal family and the Senate were constantly fighting for power, so naturally, Tony stood on the opposite side of the Senate. Even if the Senate felt that Tony was an object that could be won over, the fact that he stood on the opposite side could not be changed.
If Tony's power is small, no one will say anything, after all, he can't pose a threat to them. But Vespasian is different! He was once the deputy general of the British Legion and one of the conquerors of Britain. If this Vespasian really surrendered to Tony, then it goes without saying that as long as Tony wants, he can completely control half of the British Legion through Vespasian! At that time, Tony can attack or defend. Relying on this half of the British Legion and the British Channel, Tony can be invincible. Even if he really can't win, can't he retreat to Scotland?
So, would the Senate really agree to let Vespasian go to Britain? You must be kidding! The Senate has been thinking about how to infiltrate this new imperial province. How could it be possible for the royal family to completely consolidate their power in the British province?
It is one thing for me to win you over, but it is another thing for me to let you become too powerful!
Therefore, the Senate will most likely not approve Vespasian to be given to Tony!
"Tsk, trouble." Tony rubbed his eyes and spoke.
"But brother, that Tita you mentioned before, are you really planning to take her to Britain?" Looking at Tony's frowning brows, Nero reached out and gently touched his brother's head and asked.
"Yes." Tony sighed and said, "To be honest, sister, I want to keep her in Rome. After all, this is the center of the Roman Empire, and even the center of the entire Europe. Leaving her here will naturally make her life much better than going to my small fiefdom."
"Then why don't you leave her here? Brother, Tita has also taken care of you. If you leave her in Rome, I will take good care of her to thank her." Nero said with a smile.
"Sister, do you think this prosperous city of Rome is really safe?" Tony shook his head and asked with a wry smile.
Is it really safe? Hearing this question, the smile on Nero's face froze.
Yes, in the eyes of many people, the current Roman Empire is extremely prosperous. Since Octavian became Augustus and ruled Rome, Rome has maintained a strong deterrent force externally and has continuously suppressed the barbarians in various places. Internally, the economic and cultural level of the Roman Empire is gradually rising. Now Nero has been in power for nearly half a year. During these few months, Nero also knew that if he wanted to suppress the Senate, he could only rely on the people, so he now began to constantly please the people.
In later generations, anyone who has done a little research on Roman history knows that the first owner of a bathhouse in the Roman Empire was not Trajan, but Nero.
The function of the bathhouse in the Roman Empire was almost equivalent to that of the Yihongyuan in the Eastern Han Empire. The emperor ordered the construction of a bathhouse for everyone to have fun... How could everyone not support the emperor?
PS1: Let me tell you something. I won’t update the book in the next two days. This book will be on the shelves on Friday. So I will update the book on Friday. I will save more manuscripts in the next two days. By then... I welcome all kinds of recommendations, monthly tickets and rewards~
PS2: Shuke's sensitive word list is too realistic, isn't it? I can't write erotic in the main text, so it's all turned into Seqin, and then I can write countless erotic in it, my god, it's real
Remarks on the launch & January rewards
That’s right, when you see this chapter, it means the book will be on the shelves tomorrow.
Calculating the time, it has been exactly one month since I published the book.
To be honest, the reason why I decided to write a book about Type-Moon is actually very simple. I am a lunar person, and the reason why I wanted to write about Nero was actually... an accident.
Although I like Nero quite a bit after watching FATE, I don’t like him enough to write a book about him. The reason I wrote it was probably because I was a bit angry.
Last January, before the premiere of "Fate/EXTRA Last Encore", a UP host at Bilibili posted a video about Nero. His original intention might have been to popularize the historical Nero. As a fan of His Majesty, I naturally wrote something I knew in the comment section. It can be roughly concluded that Nero was not an unforgivable tyrant as we learned in textbooks. However, some people thought that it was biased for me to talk about history from the background of Type-Moon, and took the example of the Praetorian Guards, believing that the Praetorian Guards betrayed Nero, which was enough to show how bad Nero was. However, the Praetorian Guards in history were so notorious that I couldn't help but argue with him. Later, I opened a new post and rewrote Nero's life with the information in "History of Rome" and "The Twelve Emperors".
But after finishing it, I still felt unsatisfied, so I thought, should I write a book about Nero?
Yes, it is against this background that this book came into being.
Up to now, this book has 1928 collections, 32.5 total clicks, and 2900 cat cookies in rewards and blades. Although this result is not very good among new books of the same type, I am quite satisfied with it. After all, I wrote this book just because I wanted to write it.
So here, I would like to thank all the readers who have collected my books, thank all the readers who have given me opinions and suggestions, and thank all the big guys who have voted for me and voted for me.
Also, I am very grateful to everyone who has rewarded me and passed me blades... I heard that sticking out your butt is a tradition of book readers, so... I want to stick it out too?
Wow, so gay.
By the way, thank you editor Chengzi. After all, when I applied for the contract with more than 30,000 words, he finally replied to me when I had more than 80,000 words... Maybe I updated too fast?
That’s all for my thoughts on the listing. Finally, let me talk about this month’s bounty.
That’s right, I’m back again!
This month's bounty is divided into three categories: updates, photo cheats, and the women's clothing you want.
Let's talk about updates first.
I haven't written on Shuke for a long time. I don't know if Shuke is like before, where you can get a recommended position even if you don't apply. Well, let's just assume that it is there for now.
If there is a recommended position, then, for every 1000 more collections, one more chapter will be added, for every 1000 more recommendation votes, one more chapter will be added, and for every 300 more monthly votes, one more chapter will be added, starting from January 1845st. Well, in the screenshot at that time, the total collections were 1404, the recommendation votes were 115, the monthly votes were 31, and the deadline was the st of this month.
If there is no recommended position this month, then for every additional 500 collections and recommendation votes, one more chapter will be added, and for every additional 100 monthly votes, one more chapter will be added. The deadline is still the 31st of this month.
The second one is photo fraud.
That’s right, I not only have an older sister, but also a younger sister!
So, I have a reader group. If the group members reach 50 people, I will post a photo of my sister. If it reaches 100 people, I will post a photo of my younger sister!
Group number: 413992272
In addition, if... I say if, if I really want to wear women's clothes in the end, the photos of me wearing women's clothes will definitely be posted in this group.
The third one is women’s clothing.
There are 60 likes and 19 replies. I will round it up and count it as . Since there are people interested in my women's clothing, I will offer a reward here.
Tip 2000RMB, I'll wear women's clothes. Tip 5000RMB, I'll wear women's clothes. You decide what I should wear, but it can't be too revealing, after all, the weather is too cold, right? And we should be harmonious and healthy, right?
As for why I set it so high, it's very simple. The first purpose is that I don't want to wear women's clothes at all. I wore women's clothes in junior high school because I had to wear my sister's skirt. Now... if there weren't so many people, I wouldn't even put up this bounty.
The second is that if I give a tip of 2000 RMB, I won’t get even half of it. Then I will do what I said and use the money to buy women’s clothing. Based on my experience of buying skirts for my girlfriend, these skirts are really not cheap.
So, for the above three rewards, everyone, come on~
Finally, thank you all for your support for this book. As I said before, I will read every post and every comment. I hope that in the days to come, you will continue to support me and this book, and I will work hard to write this book well.
Well, I won’t say any more and start writing. Tomorrow… I’ll update 10,000 words first?
Chapter 87: Parthia is ready to make a move
Just as Tony was scratching his head and thinking about how to change the topic away from the New Year's Concert, a guard suddenly entered the palace, knelt on one knee, and said in a panic, "Your Majesty, there is a tip-off from the East that the Armenian rebellion is supported by Parthia. Now, the Senate asks Your Majesty to go to the Senate Hall for negotiations as soon as possible!"
"Parthia?" At this time, not to mention Nero, even Tony's expression couldn't help but become unpredictable.
Anyone who is slightly familiar with history knows that in this era, there were four extremely large countries on the earth. These four countries were the Roman Empire, the Parthian Empire, the Eastern Han Empire, and the Kushan Empire which had not yet risen.
The so-called Parthian Empire in the history books of the Eastern Han Empire was actually the Parthian Empire located in the Persian region.
After the death of Alexander the Great, the once prosperous Alexander Empire eventually split into several countries, headed by four major countries. These four major countries were the Kingdom of Thrace, the Kingdom of Macedonia, the Ptolemaic Kingdom and the Seleucid Empire.
Among these four kingdoms, Macedonia and Ptolemy were successively destroyed by the Roman Empire and became the provinces of Macedonia and Egypt, while the Kingdom of Thrace became one of the vassal states of the Roman Empire. As for the Seleucid Empire in West Asia, it was eventually destroyed under the attack of the newly rising Parthian Empire and the Roman Empire.
It can be said that most of the vast legacy of the Seleucid Empire was inherited by the Parthian Empire.
