My XX deal with Sister Nero

As for the third step, it is to take back the confidential departments of the empire from the Senate.

That’s right, support the freed slave class.

As mentioned before, the Senate represented the Roman aristocracy, and the predecessors of the freed slave class were the slaves in these aristocratic families. If the slaves had the opportunity to rebel against their oppressive masters, they would surely rise up and sing loudly, unwilling to do... Anyway, you understand what I mean.

With a two-pronged approach, the Empire will naturally be able to get rid of the Senate.

In fact, Tony's idea came from the history he knew in his previous life. Nero did this, Diocletian did this, and Constantine did this too. Tony just connected the methods used by successive emperors of the Roman Empire to deal with the Senate and the Praetorian Guards in his previous life. But such methods... Seneca is not a time traveler, he certainly has never seen them!

So he naturally thought that this was something His Highness had figured out himself.

What a genius!

As Nero's teacher, Seneca knew many secrets that others did not know, for example, Nero did not intend to get married!

Because Agrippina the Younger poisoned Claudius, Nero had a certain degree of resistance to marriage. In addition, he had a younger brother who was cute, smart and likable. Nero's current plan was that after his death, the position of Roman emperor would naturally be passed on to his younger brother. If he had offspring, then... what would happen to his younger brother?

Therefore, the best way is to get rid of the Guards and the Senate as soon as possible, quell the external war, leave a prosperous empire, and then hand it over to my brother, and I...ah~art~great art~~~

Nero knocked on the table irritably, then suddenly stood up, glanced at the sun gradually rising outside the window, and said softly, "Well, let's go out for a walk."

Seneca knew that Nero was worried about the Senate, so he didn't say anything at the moment. Instead, he chose to arrange guards according to Nero's wishes and prepared to go out of the palace with Nero for a stroll.

In a shopping street next to the Circus Maximus.

As the center of the Roman Empire, the entire city of Rome was crowded with people almost every day, especially the shopping streets, which were a must-go place for citizens to go shopping and buy groceries. The place was filled with all kinds of hawking sounds and the shouts of passers-by.

"This is the prosperous city of Rome under my rule." Seeing the happy smiles on the faces of the citizens passing by, Nero said happily, "Teacher, I think the God Ancestor in heaven should be happy for me right now, right?"

"Of course, Your Majesty." Seneca said respectfully with a smile beside Nero.

"Such a rich Rome will be handed over to my younger brother in a few years. With his wisdom and talent, he should be able to lead the empire to greater glory, right? Defeat Parthia, crush the Germans, rule the whole of Europe, and let the glory of Rome shine on the world!"

PS: Oh my god, my dad finally passed away. He scolded me for the whole day and I was so upset.

Chapter 160: Finding a Little Lolita for My Brother (Additional Chapter 45)

"With Your Highness's intelligence and talent, if Your Highness is willing to govern the country, I think our Roman Empire should not be afraid of any country." Well, the premise is that Your Highness is willing to govern the country.

Seneca added the second half of the sentence silently in his mind.

Is Tony willing to govern the country? You must be kidding. If he is willing, that would be weird!

While teaching Tony, Seneca realized that this talented little prince seemed to have the same thoughts as His Majesty.

The throne? Leave it to my sister!

At first, Seneca, like the Senate, believed that it was because the prince was still young and did not know the benefits of power. However, after spending more time with Tony, Seneca realized that this was not the case. Tony really did not want to be emperor, and he even had a certain resistance to this supreme position.

This is very confusing.

But the empire cannot be without a ruler for a day, and one of Tony and Nero has to compromise.

But this was a matter between them, and Seneca felt that he shouldn't need to interfere in it.

Just as Seneca was thinking about this, a commotion not far away on the street caught the attention of Nero and his party.

"You little brat! I bought her to work for me and earn money, and now you dare to pretend to be dead here?" A pot-bellied middle-aged man looked at the little Lolita, who was only seven or eight years old and dressed in tattered clothes lying on the ground. He looked angry and swung the whip in his hand continuously, as if he was going to whip the little Lolita at any time.

The little girl lying on the ground had marks of being whipped all over her body. At this moment, she had tears in her eyes and was shivering on the ground, afraid that her master in front of her would really whip her.

Although this little Loli is not very old, she knows that she is a slave. If she really cannot bring any value to her master, then even if she is beaten to death on the street by her master, her master will at most be fined for this matter.

Slaves are only worth a little more than ordinary goods. Have you ever seen anyone destroying their own things and then going to jail for it?

"That's too much!" Although it was a master beating his own slave, Nero still felt sorry for her. Although the child was a slave, how old was she? Wasn't this man too cruel?

Seeing the cute little girl trembling under the whip, Nero suddenly felt a surge of anger. She pushed the crowd away angrily and said to the middle-aged man with a big belly: "Enough! She is still a child! Can't you just say it directly?"

"Who are you?" The middle-aged man looked at Nero as if he was a fool and said, "I educate my slaves. What does it have to do with you?"

"How dare you!" Seeing that this middle-aged man dared to be disrespectful to His Majesty, a guard in plain clothes suddenly shouted angrily and prepared to draw his sword.

???

Seeing a woman next to him about to draw her sword, the middle-aged man was no fool. He realized that although the girl standing in front of him was dressed in ordinary clothes, she was most likely a big shot, a big shot he could not afford to offend.

"You..." Just as the middle-aged man said the word "you", Nero waved his hand to interrupt him: "If you say that this is your slave and you want to educate her so I have no right to interrupt, then now, I think I should be qualified, right?"

As he spoke, Nero snapped his fingers, and a guard quickly stepped forward, took out a simple gun from his pocket, and threw it to the ground.

Through the untied bag, the middle-aged man was almost dazzled by the glittering gold coins inside.

All gold coins?

Looking at the not-so-small purse, the middle-aged man was stunned. This bag of gold coins was enough to buy ten or twenty little Lolita, let alone this one.

"You... are indeed qualified." The middle-aged man squatted down with a muffled voice, picked up the bag of gold coins and put it in his arms, and threw the whip to the ground: "Now, she is yours."

"Humph." After the middle-aged man left, Nero squatted down, looked at the little girl with a panic on her face, and asked, "Little guy, tell me, what's your name?"

Looking at Nero, the little girl supported herself with her hands with some effort, and after sitting up, she answered carefully: "My... my name is Spoluya."

"Spoluya, what a nice name." Nero said with a gentle smile, while reaching out to wipe away the dust and tears on Spoluya's face, "Well, from today on, you belong to me."

As he spoke, Nero stood up, pointed at a guard standing not far from him and said, "Come here and carry her."

"Yes." The guard responded, then squatted in front of Spoluya and motioned her to lie on his back.

"Teacher, I'm thinking about something." Nero suddenly spoke halfway down the road.

"Hmm? Please speak, Your Majesty." Seneca bowed slightly.

"This little girl..." As he spoke, Nero turned his head to look at the little girl on the guard's back not far behind him, and whispered softly, "Just now I took a closer look. Although this little girl has many scars on her body and is a little dirty, after she takes a bath and changes into cleaner clothes, I can still see that this little girl is very cute. And I think the court doctors should be able to treat those wounds and try not to leave scars."

"Your Majesty, what do you want to do?" Turning his head to look at the little loli, Seneca raised his eyebrows. He felt... His Majesty seemed to be planning something bad?

"Teacher, look at this child, she is so cute and young. I plan to have the court doctor check her body. If there is no problem, she will be my brother's woman in the future."

???

After hearing Nero's last words, this famous politician, writer and philosopher of the empire almost tripped over his left foot and fell to the ground.

What the hell? ? ?

Tony is a sister-con, but considering various factors, Tony has been hiding it very well. At least so far, no one has noticed that he is a sister-con, or because of his age, no one has yet forgotten to make this association.

But Nero is different!

Many people around Nero already knew that the emperor was obsessed with her brother! She liked her brother!

And now, she found a woman for her beloved brother.

Listen, is this still human language?

If Nero said at this time that she wanted to marry her brother immediately or that she wanted her brother to marry her, Seneca would understand, after all, she was mentally prepared, but what did this sentence mean?

Finding a woman for your brother? Huh? And coming from a brother-con?

If you say that Nero had no other intentions, let alone killing Seneca, Seneca would not believe it even if you killed all the Romans!

Any one of the conditions will be met.

PS2: Currently I owe 90 chapters, ah… offering a bounty is fun for a while, but it’s like a crematorium if I keep offering a bounty.

PS3: I cried because I just received the royalties today, and before I could even warm them up, I had to use them to pay off my debts. So everyone should act within their means. Starting a business is risky and you really need to think twice. For example, I have been in business for one year and owe nearly $. Now, I have paid back more than $, and I still have $ to pay back. I just hope that I can pay off all the money I owe this year.

PS4: I will update a story about my father later or tomorrow. Um, the “stories around the author” will be updated from time to time in the future. These… are basically true stories. Those who are interested can take a look. Those who are not interested can skip them directly. In addition, because the word count method of Shuke and Word is different, the word count on Word may be less than one thousand, while the word count here may exceed one thousand. At that time, we will need to charge a fee… Um, you can… decide for yourself?

Chapter 161: Nero's Outrageous Actions

What is Nero planning?

In fact, it is very simple. Nero is a brother-con because her favorite brother disappeared when she was a child. She has always missed her brother very much. Now that her brother is back, her repressed emotions have burst out. In psychology, this is called "compensation psychology." She feels that she owes her brother a lot, or that the world owes her brother a lot. She wants to compensate Tony, so she treats him extra well.

Under this twisted emotion, the best compensation Nero could think of was to give the most prosperous empire to his younger brother.

Of course, if possible, if conditions permit, she wouldn't mind giving herself to her younger brother.

But... the conditions don't allow it.

Like Tony, Nero also knew why Agrippina the Younger could marry her uncle? Because their wedding was not just a love affair between a man and a woman, but represented deep political factors behind it.

That is, the combination of the Augustan family and the Claudius family.

It was against this background that Agrippina the Younger's wedding was blessed by the Romans.

So if Nero wanted to marry his younger brother, it would be impossible, at least under the current circumstances.

But, not only is my younger brother extremely cute, I also like him so much. If I let my younger brother marry someone else, will he still remember my sister?

Since my younger brother can't marry me, and he must marry a girl, then it's simple. I will find him a lovely little wife to be his woman in public, and use her to cover myself. Isn't that it?

Hmm!

Nero's tricky operation was of course impossible to test Seneca. Seneca could guess that Nero had a different kind of affection for Tony than a brother and sister, but this did not mean that Nero would take the initiative to tell Seneca, I want to marry... Bah! I want to marry my brother.

Although he couldn't tell Seneca or Tony about his wishful thinking, Nero could definitely... finish the job first~

After bringing the little Lolita back to the palace and letting the palace maids wash her clean, Nero called in several court doctors to examine her. To put it nicely, he wanted to see if the scars left by the external injuries on the child's body could be removed. To put it bluntly, he had to confirm whether this cute little Lolita was... you know.

After all, there are many perverts who like this!

So if this little Loli has been taken care of by those weird uncles, then she definitely cannot be given to his brother. If she has not been taken care of, well, then she will be his brother's...wife in the future?

Wait a minute, although this little Loli is very cute, she cannot be my wife. How can my brother marry a slave?

Nero was a little conflicted, but forget it, his brother was still young, so he should just put up with it for now and wait until he met someone better in the future.

Soon, the court physician came back and reported to Nero after finishing the examination. Although Spoluya had many wounds on her body, these wounds basically would not leave too big scars after healing. As for whether this little Loli was still... ahem, still a virgin, the answer was yes.

"Hmm, it seems that I have to find some maids to train her a little bit. When my brother returns victorious, this little girl will be given to him as a reward!"

Let’s not talk about the situation in Rome for now. After several days of long journey, Tony and his team finally arrived at a cliff near the village of Ur at noon one day.

"Fortunately, I have practiced, otherwise I might not be able to bear riding such a long distance." Tony got off the horse and gently touched the neck of his chestnut mare. This was a New Year's gift from Nero. It was said that this pony came from Central Asia and was a very docile pony.

Although he has a gentle personality, he will be afraid of even the most docile horse if he meets someone who doesn't know how to ride a horse. Fortunately, Tony had traveled to Inner Mongolia in his previous life and learned how to ride a horse. Although he can't gallop on a horse, he has no problem getting on and off the horse.

Besides, Nero gave me such a horse. If I don’t learn to ride a horse well, how can I be worthy of my sister’s love?

Are you sorry? Why don't you learn it now? !

Under the instruction of his personal guards, Tony barely learned how to ride a horse. That was why he was able to follow everyone and come to the village of Ur today.

"It looks like the enemy is making a fire and cooking now." Putting away the telescope, Tony turned his head and glanced at the captain of the First Legion of Odney: "Tell me what you think."

"Your Highness." The captain nodded to Tony as a salute, then pointed at the village and said, "The terrain around this village is relatively open. If we were to ride over there, the enemy would easily spot us. However, since this is not a strategic point, and General Lius's strategic layout is more conservative and defensive, the enemy's vigilance in this village is not high."

At this point, the captain paused and continued, "My suggestion is that in order to prevent the enemy from escaping, Your Highness leads the guards and hand cannon troops to attack from the front, and our Odney First Legion surrounds the village from the other three sides. Only in this way can our army completely annihilate the enemy."

Surround on all sides... Tony touched his chin subconsciously. This was a very conventional encirclement tactic, surrounding on three sides and attacking on one side. Since his personal guards were the most powerful, they would be responsible for the main attack. However... if this was done, these lovely young ladies around him would inevitably suffer casualties.

But if they send the muscular brothers of the First Legion, they may not be able to completely complete the strategic deployment.

So, how to solve it?

The hand cannon troops must go, after all, this is a test for their own hand cannon troops. Well, how about this, the one hundred cavalry infantry of the First Legion will surround the enemy first, leaving one side for themselves, and then they will lead the guards and hand cannon troops to block the remaining side.

Afterwards, the hand cannon troops moved forward and tested the performance of the weapons when the enemies rushed out. After that, they let Atalanta and the others attack. With two dragon slayers and a demigod, it should be easy to deal with this group of people.

Moreover, Tony has not seen many horses in or near the village. In other words, the army stationed here should be just a Parthian light infantry.

If it is Parthian light infantry, there is no need to panic.

It is well known that Parthia's horse archers and armored cavalry are the strongest in the world, but their infantry... well, it's hard to describe.

On the other hand, what about Tony? In addition to his own cavalry guards, there are also infantrymen from the First Legion of Odenis who have undergone several months of Roman training. So if a battle really comes, even without Atalanta and the others, Tony is confident that he can defeat this Parthian army!

PS: God knows what happened last night. I woke up with pain in my spine and ankles, and my stomach felt a little uncomfortable. There may only be two chapters today.

Chapter 162: Siege of Ur Village

After calling several leading officers to his presence, Tony briefly explained his strategic deployment to them.

"Apal, you lead the First Legion of Odeni to go ahead and surround the village of Ur from the west, north and east. Remember, your mission is to ambush and surround. You must be careful not to let the enemy find you. Sister Mary, you and Omar will follow me from the south to attack the village of Ur head-on." After drawing a square on the ground, Tony said to everyone.

As a small border village, Ur Village is not very big. If it were not for the possibility of large carnivorous wild animals nearby, Ur Village might not even be willing to build the fence.

But precisely because of this circle of fences, the roads out of the village of Ur are limited to four directions: east, south, west and north.

After tying up the war horses, Captain Apal led his Odney First Legion in a circle and ran down the mountain. Under his command, Tony stood on the hillside and clearly saw through the telescope that the captain was crouching and directing his men, with two hiding on this tree and one hiding in that bush. Soon, this army of more than 100 people was broken up into small pieces and surrounded the village of Ur on three sides silently under the enemy's nose.
