Daqin: Let you supervise the country, but you rebelled!

Chapter 314

One of the people who opposed it was the leader of the Manlius family who was very likely to take over the supreme power of the Roman consul.

He stood up from his seat in the Senate, then walked to the debate hall of the main hall, bowed respectfully to Hippia, and said: "My supreme consul, this time I stand up to debate with you, and there is no I want to refute you, but we have just finished fighting with Gataiji, and we have suffered a lot of damage and haven't recovered yet."

"Besides, it may take a long time for the big country in the east to really fight over, so I don't think it seems necessary for us to discuss this matter now, and we don't have to deal with the enemy so nervously."

As soon as Manlius finished speaking, many people echoed and nodded frequently.

Seeing someone you would object to, Hippia did not respond at this time, he just stared at Zheng Di in front of him with mixed feelings in his heart, asking for trouble.

When Hippia felt that the current House of Elders and the Senate were no longer the central institutions that could lead the Roman Empire to glory.

Now the members of the House of Elders and the Senate seem to see only greed, corruption and cowardice in their eyes.

If it weren't for them fighting and retreating, sometimes reuniting, and sometimes fighting, how could Hannibal have survived the Roman Empire for 15 years?
But their political system is a republic, and Hippia himself just made a proposal. If the Senate and the House disagree, then even if Hippia wants to defend himself, he can only talk about it, because the Roman legion Does not belong to anyone.

Therefore, if the Senate and the Senate did not authorize it, then he himself would not be able to command the army at all, nor would he be able to send anyone to contact the Guishuang Empire.

Moreover, after the reform of the two houses of the Senate, the power of the consul was deprived, and the consul was still in charge of local internal affairs.

But now, whether it is the central government or the local government, the consul's internal dispatching power is just a hollow frame in terms of internal affairs.

Although Manlius belonged to the supreme chief executive, his powers were limited to the military, so that the preparations for war, logistics and internal affairs were now under the control of the Senate.

And the Senate also has the right to vote, if the penalty court does not support itself.And if the Senate doesn't make a motion, his plan will be dead.

So where did the corruption of the Senate and Senate come from?
These types are also related to the Roman aristocratic system, because almost all the people in the Senate and House of Representatives came from the Roman aristocracy.

This is equivalent to the powerful families in the Sui and Tang Dynasties. All the departments that control political and military positions all come from the Guanlong nobles.

In ancient Rome, the glorious nobles became the four major families of ancient Rome, and these four families were the families with the longest history in ancient Rome.

Their names are Manlius, Amricos, Claudius, and Varius.

Now the consuls are from the Hippia tribe of Cornelis.

From the moment when the era of kingship ended, the people in the ancient Roman Empire were elected by everyone. Among them, there were two major families who were quasi-rich families. The number of consuls from the four major families is large.

Therefore, it is also known as the second-rich family, and now it has the most glorious record among the consuls of the past dynasties, so the people also call this era the Hippia era.

The last consul in Rome was Hippia's father.

Why did Hippias' father lower his eyes?It's very simple, because he suffered a disastrous defeat in the battle against Jia Taiji.

But now Hippia was won over by his father and became the consul again.

After defeating the invincible Hannibal, Hippia's position in Rome is now skyrocketing. In fact, Spain can be a dictator, but he doesn't want to disrupt the existing balance, so there are some people who agree with it. Fengnan doesn't want to strongly oppose it

At present, the number of ruling officials in various places is occupied by the four major families far more than the Hippia family. Although the Hippia family is now the ruling family, if they want to truly become prominent nobles, they must continue to secretly install themselves. Therefore, the struggle with the other five big families is naturally inevitable.

The opposition among the four major families accounted for almost 6%. In fact, they did not know that there was a powerful dynasty that wanted to attack them. What they were worried about was that the war would bring strongman politics and the re-royal politics would return to Rome.

If that is the case, then the first to be liquidated will be these four big families, and then all the prosperity and wealth will be hope.

So the more strongly Hippia supports something now, the more they oppose it.

After two years of war, Hippia was also injured. From the very beginning when he became the executive officer, to the current twilight, he seems to be a lot more mature than before.

Hippia was also helpless.

Although the whole body was covered with golden armor, no matter how dazzling the light was, it couldn't hide the helpless look on his face.

He clenched the sword in his hand several times, but let it go several times, and sometimes even wanted to cut these people with a single sword.

Of course, Hippia also has this ability. After all, he is the holder of the number one artifact in the ancient Roman Empire, and he is also the number one general in the ancient Roman Empire.So as long as he wants to be present, many veterans and members of the House of Representatives who are powerless will be beheaded on the spot.
It's not that Hippia didn't want to do this, but he took the overall situation into consideration and didn't want to tear his face. After all, these councilors and elders can be killed, and the families behind these elders still support the advancement of the Roman Empire.If these people are enlisted, then the ethnic group of these people will lead the slaves and civilians to overthrow the tyranny.

By that time, he would not have killed dozens of people, but hundreds of thousands of people, and the Roman Empire he had worked so hard to build would also fall apart, which was the last thing he wanted to see.

All he has left now is hatred. Seeing that these councilors and senators hold the wealth and power of Rome in high positions, but they don't want to do anything practical, if it continues like this.Then Rome will be wiped out by its powerful enemies just like the small countries before it.

And now these countries around them are not all idle people, such as the Gauls and Spartans who are not afraid of death, and Macedonia.

These have all played against them, and there are also upgrades.

Although the Roman Empire is very powerful now, it is not as powerful as it was back then.

According to what the ancient Romans thought, then ancient Rome would not have lost to Hannibal, but perhaps only these consuls knew the truth.
