"Who do you think is the dictator?" came a voice, which startled the elders.
I saw a group of guards rushing into the Senate. Immediately afterwards, a man in a white robe strode into the Senate. He went straight to the senator who had just accused him and asked: "Who did you say just now?" dictator?"
This person is Caesar!
The elder was so frightened that he was covered in cold sweat and stammered, unable to speak.
Caesar smiled and said: "It's me! You're right, I am the dictator!"
As he spoke, he looked at everyone in the Senate and said: "You losers only know how to talk here, so what's the use? I brought down the land of Rome with my soldiers!"
"I don't think there is any need for the Senate to exist in the future!"
One of the senior senators said angrily: "Caesar, you must understand that it was the Senate that gave you the power to become a consul! According to Roman law, you are not qualified to dissolve the Senate!"
"Really? The law can be changed!" Caesar disagreed. Now that he controls the military and political power, he is not afraid of these senators at all.
"You!" The elders were angry but had no choice.
They had previously supported Pompey to suppress Caesar but failed, and now they no longer had enough military strength to suppress Caesar.
Caesar looked at everyone in the Senate with contempt and said: "In one month, the Senate will be dissolved. You will read it to the people yourself. Remember, you are voluntary!"
"In the future, there will be no Roman Republic, only the Roman Empire!"
Of course Caesar wanted to be emperor and become the supreme monarch! Rather than being ordered around by these old antiques from the Senate!
But he needed to give an explanation to the people, so he had to let these elders disband themselves.
When Caesar left, the senators were extremely angry.
"He was so humble when he begged us to support him!"
"He is a jackal. When he is raised, he starts to devour his master!"
"We can't sit still and wait for death!"
…
After the meeting, several senior veterans met privately to discuss countermeasures!
"Dissolving the Senate is only the first step! Once Caesar becomes emperor, he will definitely get rid of us all!"
"Yes, the Senate must not be disbanded. The day the Senate is dissolved will be the day we die!"
"How to deal with Caesar?"
They were distressed, "Now all the legions obey his command, and no one can refute his opinion."
"Then kill him!" A senator said with a gloomy face!
"Assassinate Caesar. Once Caesar dies, we will support a new consul! An obedient consul!"
"Assassinate Caesar? Caesar has obtained the power of the gods and is at the pinnacle of the holy realm. Who has the strength to kill him?"
The elders fell silent.
In Rome, Caesar was invincible. Some people said that he was the son of a god and a demigod!
"Let's look for it, it's just the best way we can think of at the moment."
…
At the residence, Zhang Beichen learned that the senators were looking for an assassin who could kill Caesar.
"Assassinating Caesar? It seems good!" Zhang Beichen thought to himself that once Caesar died, Rome would definitely fall into chaos, and by then it would be out of control of the Ptolemaic dynasty.
And if you assassinate Caesar alone, the success rate is very low. It would be different if there was cooperation from the Senate.
For many years, the Senate has been the highest center of power in Rome. Now, although Caesar has gained power, the senators in the Senate are also powerful and can create better conditions for him.
"That's it, I'm going to assassinate Caesar!" Zhang Beichen decided to play the role of assassination again.
"That's too dangerous!" Cleopatra worried.
"Don't worry, with my strength, even if the assassination fails, I can still walk away safely!" Zhang Beichen said confidently.
The son of a god, the spokesman of a god, he has killed him many times!
[You recommend yourself to the senators, hoping to assassinate Caesar. 】
Zhang Beichen was introduced to the elders.
The senators looked at this oriental face curiously and asked: "What ability do you have enough to assassinate Caesar?"
Zhang Beichen smiled slightly, and the whole room was instantly enveloped by his aura. The elders felt their bodies stiff, as if the other party could kill them at any time!
"Are you also at the peak of the Holy Realm?" A senior veteran was stunned at first, and then said in surprise: "Okay, I never expected to find such a strong person!"
After confirming Zhang Beichen's strength, they began to doubt Zhang Beichen's motives again.
One senator asked: "You have such strength and you should not care about money. Why did you want to assassinate Caesar?"
Zhang Beichen said with a proud face: "Because I want to become stronger! I came here from the east just to challenge the strong and reach a higher realm!"
"And here, the strongest person is Caesar!"
"I know that I have no chance to fight him in a duel. As the consul of Rome, he will not choose to fight with me. That's why I recommended myself here!"
Zhang Beichen said with great confidence: "If you don't help me, then I will find a way on my own!"
His strong aura completely made these elders dormant. They looked at each other and then said with great joy: "Dear Eastern strong man, we believe in you!"
"We will create conditions for you to give you a chance to fight Caesar!"
"Okay, I'll wait for your news!" Zhang Beichen said.
[You reach an agreement with the senators, and the senators start to think of ways to create conditions for the assassination. 】
[A few days later, you received news from the senators. They will set up a trap in the Roman Colosseum three days later to create conditions for your assassination. 】
The Colosseum, a famous building in Rome.
It is huge and can accommodate more than 90,000 spectators. Roman rulers often held gladiatorial performances here. They let prisoners of war fight with prisoners of war, or prisoners of war with wild beasts. The bloody and cruel fights were also a means for Roman rulers to inspire the people's martial spirit and consolidate their rule.
Caesar especially liked gladiatorial performances. He often held large-scale gladiatorial battles for prisoners of war to fight each other!
The elders seized on his hobby and began to set up a trap.
…
It's time for the gladiator show.
Zhang Beichen disguised himself as a spectator and sat in the stands.
Cleopatra did not trust him and watched nervously from a stand far away from the center. Zhang Beichen asked several of his men to hide in secret for protection.
The arena was packed with people, many nobles, civilians, and soldiers came to watch the game. The more than 90,000 seats were packed.
Caesar specially "invited" the senators to watch. He wanted the senators to see the fate of those prisoners of war and slaves, shocked them with bloody scenes, and made the senators obediently hand over their power and dissolve the Senate.
As everyone knows, the senators have also been preparing for today for a long time. Many of the spectators in the arena are their domestic slaves, just waiting for them to issue orders to control this place.
"We invite our great warrior, invincible commander, and supreme consul of Rome, Caesar!"
When Caesar rode out on the lion, more than 90,000 spectators stood up and shouted Caesar's name.
The faces of the senators were gloomy. The Romans worshiped the strong and loved conquest. Caesar became the god in their hearts. His prestige was enough for him to ascend the throne and become emperor!
Caesar gave a speech and then announced the official start of the gladiatorial contest.
The slaves were released and forced to perform with their lives here.
They fought wildly, their blood dyed the arena red, and the loss of life made the audience feel nervous and excited, and they screamed crazily.
Others started placing bets on who would survive to the end.
In order to have fun, Caesar had the captured beasts thrown into the arena, and the atmosphere was pushed to its peak.
"It's almost done!" The elders secretly signaled, letting their men begin to control the arena.
The arena was sealed and no one was allowed to enter or exit, and a barrier was specially placed here to prevent Caesar from escaping.
It was Caesar's turn to finish his speech, and he would reward some soldiers for winning the gladiatorial battle.
Caesar read the speech, and the senators sent letters to Zhang Beichen, indicating to him that the time had come.
"The warriors of Rome will conquer every part of the continent..." Caesar was thinking, but suddenly, his words were interrupted and he felt danger.
The surrounding space seemed to have condensed, and countless sword lights were slashing towards him!
Caesar hurriedly drew his sword to fight with him, and asked in surprise: "Who is it?"
He could feel that this person's strength was no less than his own! He had never heard of such a powerful figure in Rome!
Zhang Beichen didn't reply, but charged straight out. When the two swords clashed, the entire Roman arena shook!
"He took action!" The elders hid and watched the battle from afar.
The movement here naturally alerted Caesar's guards. The guards rushed to rescue, but were blocked by the soldiers of the senators.
[You and Caesar have fought for several rounds and are evenly matched. 】
"You are very strong!" Caesar praised, "Why don't you serve me, I can let you take charge of ten legions!"
Zhang Beichen said without any expression: "No need, because you are already a dead person."
"Hahahaha!" Caesar laughed and said: "You and I are equally powerful, no one can do anything to the other!"
"But my army will arrive soon, and the army will besiege you. You will only die!"
"Really?" Zhang Beichen's momentum suddenly surged, and his moves became several times more powerful!
There were endless sword moves and spells, and Caesar discovered that Zhang Beichen had been hiding his clumsiness just now!
"Kill!" Under the threat of death, Caesar also exploded with all his strength. He was glowing with golden light, like a god coming to the world. The knight's long sword slashed out, and the sword energy tore through the space. Zhang Beichen's Dharma Aspect blocked it.
"Time is running out!" the elders reminded Zhang Beichen loudly.
"It's over!" Zhang Beichen had already tested Caesar's strength.
Although he has a famous name, his strength is weaker than that of Maotai, the Great Chan of the Huns.
"Cut!" Zhang Beichen slashed with his sword, and the sword light shot up into the sky, chopping Caesar and the Roman Arena in half!
"You!" Caesar looked at his body in disbelief as blood rained down from the sky.
As Caesar fell to the ground, a generation of Roman consuls came to an end!
"This man is too strong!" The senators were both happy and scared when they saw Zhang Beichen killing Caesar!
Caesar is dead and the Senate will regain power!
But Zhang Beichen's existence makes everyone uneasy. His strength can assassinate any elder at any time, making no one feel at ease.
"Caesar is dead?" At this moment, Cleopatra was filled with shock!
In everyone's mind, Caesar is synonymous with power and invincibility! And now, Caesar was killed by Zhang Beichen with one sword!
"As expected of my man!" Cleopatra looked at Zhang Beichen's figure with admiration.
[After Caesar's death, the city of Rome was in chaos. You took advantage of the chaos to leave. 】
[The Senate took over the government affairs of Rome, but after Caesar's death, no one could suppress the senators. The senators began to seize power from each other, causing Rome to fall into greater chaos. 】
Another elder found Zhang Beichen again and asked him to assassinate his political opponents, but Zhang Beichen refused.
Killing Caesar and causing chaos in Rome was his purpose, and he didn't have the energy to stay here for long.
[You take Cleopatra back to the Ptolemaic Dynasty. 】
Rome no longer has the energy to pay attention to the affairs of the Ptolemaic Dynasty. The senators and some governors or generals are seizing power.
The Ptolemaic dynasty ushered in a period of development.
[You left more than a thousand soldiers to help Cleopatra, and then returned with a ship full of cargo. 】
Zhang Beichen returned to Daqi again.
During his absence, Jiang Chan, Ying Yin, Zhao Yun and others were entrusted with cultivating and improving their cultivation.
Of course, as a result, some unstable factors have emerged in the country, such as land annexation.
[You once again rectified the officialdom and eliminated a large number of corrupt officials. And the "One Whip Law" was issued, which stipulated that the land tax, corvee and other miscellaneous levies of each county were combined into one, and the silver taels were collected together and paid per mu. This greatly simplifies the tax system and facilitates tax collection. At the same time, it will make it difficult for local officials to cheat, thereby increasing fiscal revenue. 】
It took Zhang Beichen nearly five years to rectify the officialdom.
[Five years later, you decided to go to sea again to consolidate the route. 】
[Because official ships have not sailed for several years, many pirates have appeared near the route. They make a living by robbing merchant ships. You lead the fleet to eliminate pirates along the way and keep the route open. 】
[You come to the Ptolemaic Dynasty again. 】
At this time, the Ptolemaic Dynasty had become a prosperous country after being reformed with the help of the Daqi people and becoming one of the transit points for East-West trade.
And the female pharaoh Cleopatra also changed from a young and beautiful girl to an emotional and charming young woman.
[You and Cleopatra lingered for several days. 】
"Zhang, there is someone who wants to snatch me away!" Cleopatra said to Zhang Beichen.
"Who is it? So bold?" Zhang Beichen asked.
"Governor of Eastern Rome, Antony!" Cleopatra said.
Zhang Beichen understood the situation and found out that after he assassinated Caesar, Rome fell into chaos for several years. Eventually, Caesar's adopted son Octavian worked with Antony to put down the rebellion.
The two came to an agreement that Octavian would rule the west of Rome while Antony would rule the east.
Although nominally the two ruled Rome together, in fact they both wanted to annex each other and became Roman emperors!
In order to strengthen his strength, Antony noticed the wealthy Ptolemaic dynasty. He also learned that Cleopatra was a top beauty, so he sent an envoy to propose to Cleopatra, hoping to gain beauty and trust. The wealth of the Lemaic dynasty.
