Chapter 374 Kingdom Assembly During the War (1)

The latest website: Oh... There is another profession, the status is respected, that is to become a scholar, but this is too difficult, I guess you will not consider it. The three paths I mentioned above, you can discuss with your child and choose carefully.

As for your youngest son, he is only 10 years old. After you move to Turui, let him attend Turui School as soon as possible, so that when he becomes an adult in the future, his development will be smoother than that of his older brother. And your daughter, let her go to school as soon as possible. "

When Tibrus said this, he saw Publius frown slightly, so he said, "I know that you Romans and Greeks, like the Greeks, are more traditional and conservative in the education of their daughters, but I tell you, we Dionia are different. , we will let the girl study and exercise with the boy, and try to cultivate her talents, so that she may find a good husband when she is an adult, because we Dionians believe that only a healthy mother can give birth to a healthy child, Only talented mothers can produce smart children!

In the kingdom, women not only had the right to inherit property, but there was a law that said, 'If a citizen has only daughters and no sons, he may consult with his sons-in-law and choose one of the children born to his daughters to inherit his surname. ’ Therefore, the status of women in the kingdom is still relatively high. "

When Tibrus said this, he couldn't help but smile: "I now have two daughters and no son, but with these legal provisions, I'm not worried at all."

Publius didn't know how to answer, so he remained silent for a while.

But Tibrus stood up and said, "In this season, don't soak in the cold bath for too long, otherwise it's easy to catch a cold."

With that said, he walked out of the bath, took the towel hanging on the wall, and threw it to Publius.

Tibrus wiped his body with a cloth, stretched his hands and feet, and said loudly, "Take a bath, you will be able to get a good night's sleep tonight, and I will go to the Kingdom Conference tomorrow with sufficient energy!"

"Yeah, the baths in Turii are so amazing that I can't help but want to move to Turii earlier!" Publius praised again loudly, he seemed a little excited, partly because Half of the reason for taking a bath was because Tibures’ words gave him confidence in moving to Turii.

……………………………………

In the early morning of the second day, after having breakfast, the guests of the Kingdom Hotel went to the large conference hall not far away after solemnly tidying up their attire. At the same time, many people gathered from other directions, and soon formed two long queues in front of the big council hall.

On this day, the Turii patrol team blocked the entire Victory Square and the Senate,

It is forbidden for idlers to enter, and the inner city is also strictly prohibited to enter and exit to ensure the smooth convening of the Kingdom Assembly.

As a newcomer to the Kingdom's Senate, Publius stood in the team, and he didn't know anyone, so he watched the other people around him warmly greet each other and tell each other about the current situation.

But Tibrus, who followed him, was indeed a native of Turian. Although it was the first time he participated in the Kingdom Assembly, he knew a lot of people, and he took the initiative to introduce Publius to them.

These people learned that Publius was a new elder of the kingdom and came from Rome. They were all curious and asked about the situation in Rome.

Publius also answered earnestly, and everyone gradually became familiar with each other. Only then did Publius realize that these people were local council members who were elected to participate in the conference from various towns in the Kingdom of Dionia.

It didn't take long for Publius and Tibrus to stand in front of the main entrance of the Great Council Hall. After asking Publius' name, the assembly orderer at the door looked at him with some doubts: "Publi Lord Wusi, you are a veteran, you can enter through the side door, didn't the hotel staff tell you?"

Publius glanced at Tibrus and said, "This is the first time I have participated in the Kingdom Assembly, and I think it will be more lively to walk through the main entrance."

"Oh, that's okay, please come with me!" The order officer said politely and led them into the venue.

This is a huge circular dome, with at least 10 layers of stone steps from top to bottom, each floor has many wooden chairs arranged neatly and densely, encircling the center in a semi-circle. In the center is a flat floor paved with pure white marble, and several dark red wooden tables are placed. In the back of the center stands a stone platform a few meters high, on which is placed a large and beautiful seat.

Publius stared at it several times, guessing that it was the seat of King Dionia.

There were nearly 300 people sitting in the rows in front of these seats. They were wearing white robes embroidered with exquisite black patterns, most of them had gray hair, and they were chatting with each other in a low voice.

These are the elders of the Kingdom of Dionia! Publius thought to himself, and was about to sit down with Tibrus behind them, but the order officer walked to the front and whispered a few words to the person in the center.

5 people stood up quickly and walked towards them.

Publius knew one of them—Antaoris, who had received them.

Tibrus immediately bowed respectfully and saluted, saying, "Lord Cornerus! Lord Lysias! Lord Sedorum! Lord Antaoris! Lord Vespa!"

As the chief executive of Turii and once the boss of Tibrus, Luciassi nodded and said, "Tibrus, you've worked hard, are you all ready?"

"Already prepared."

"Have a good rest first, and when it's your turn, perform well!"

"Yes!"

The order officer led Tibrus to the farthest edge of the first row of seats so that he could speak on the stage at that time.

Tiblos had already guessed that these five people were the five rotating presidents of the Dionysian Senate, and he also noticed that the difference between them and the other senators was that they were wearing burtons with gold edging.

One of the gray-haired old men said with a smile: "Welcome, Lord Publius! I am Cornelus, the rotating chairman of the Dionysian Senate, and this one is..."

Publius greeted each other one by one, both smiling, graceful and reserved. Don't look at Publius laughing and laughing with Tibrus along the way, as if he was an ordinary person, but at this moment, he deliberately showed the bearing of the elder of the Roman Senate and the patriarch of the big clan.

Then, Cornerus led Publius to the center of the venue, and then loudly said to the elders in the audience: "Everyone, this is Publius from Rome, who was a new member of the Senate last year. .Senior Manlius, please give him a warm applause and welcome him to be one of us! "

Immediately, applause broke out.

Then Cornelus motioned to Publius to say a few words.

Publius did not refuse, he took a step forward, stood up with his head held high, looked around the crowd slowly with a smile, and then said loudly: "On the way to Turii, I deeply felt Dio The vast territory of the Kingdom of Nia; when I arrived in Turii, I was attracted by the prosperity of this huge city. I know that all of this is closely related to the efforts of you, the elites of the kingdom, and I am very happy to be you. One of them, to contribute to the strength of Dionia!"

Applause broke out again in the venue, even more enthusiastically than before.

The five rotating presidents looked at each other, and the meaning expressed is self-evident: in these years, they have held this similar and simple welcome ceremony in the Senate for many elders who have just joined the kingdom, but they can be neither humble nor arrogant. There are very few people who say such words. This patriarch from Rome is not simple!

So, the five asked Publius to sit next to them. Logically, this position is not suitable for newcomers, but this seat was reserved for him today. The sincerity of the Romans, on the other hand, can also make it easier for them to learn about the current situation of the Latium area from Publius' mouth, so when Publius sat down, Cornerus and the others chatted with him warmly. stand up.

At the same time, representatives of local councillors entered the venue one after another, and the whole venue became more lively.

I don't know how long it took, an order officer came over and reminded in a low voice: "Five adults, all the participants have arrived."

Cornerus stopped talking with Publius, looked at the other four, and asked, "Everyone is here, let's start?"

"Hurry up and start, and then drag it on. Today's meeting may not end until the evening." Antaoris said eagerly.

Cornelus stood up, followed by the other four, and walked towards the center of the venue together.

The venue immediately burst into thunderous applause, echoing repeatedly in this closed circular space.

Publius turned his head to look back and saw that all the wooden chairs were seated with people. It seemed that wooden chairs had been added to even a few entry and exit passages. Except for the center of the venue, it was crowded everywhere.

There are at least a thousand of them! ...Publius was surprised.

The five rotating chairmen walked to the wooden table next to the center of the venue and sat down facing the crowd.

At this time, the Order Officer of the Senate, who was standing in front of the Kingdom's Supervision Department, shouted in unison, "The Kingdom Conference is about to begin, please keep quiet!"

As soon as the voice fell, the venue immediately fell silent. The speed of everyone's response surprised Publius. Of course he didn't know that if anyone dared to continue making noise at this time, they would be expelled from the venue by the order officials on the grounds of "deliberately disrupting the venue". It's a matter of making a fool of yourself in public, and you will be investigated by the Ministry of Supervision afterwards, which will be a big loss.

At this time, Cornelus stood up, stood in the center of the venue, looked at the crowd, and said, "Everyone, I'm very happy that we are gathered in the Senate again today. According to the regulations, it should have been His Majesty King Davers to open the ceremony. However, unfortunately he is still leading the kingdom's army to fight against the Carthaginians in Sicily and cannot be separated, so he wrote a letter and entrusted me to read it to everyone."
