Chapter 33 Cloto and Dido (Continued)

"Licinius Stolo..." Crotokatax is quite familiar with this name, because he is now the Roman household registration officer. He has a criminal record of a citizen, and there are many opportunities for the two sides to deal with each other. He knows that Stolo can be impartial and seldom misjudged when he is in charge of court affairs. .

Clotocatacs had always believed that, as one of the few capable and active citizens of Dionysian Roman origin, this man had a great future.

"She came to intercede for Stolo?" After several years of tempering, Clotokatax had lost the immaturity when he first started, and he immediately thought of the reason for the other party's coming.

"Yes, Stolo was asked to go to the Inspector's Office for investigation, and Konya was worried about it, so she came to me and cried, 'Her husband is dedicated to the kingdom and never colluded with those former Roman nobles to conspire to rebel "...' She asked me to beg you to speak for her husband, and I agreed." Dido said calmly.

"You know Stroh's wife well?"

"She has attended several of the banquets I held, and I have known each other since I came and went. How should I put it... She is not exactly a traditional Roman woman, and she has a bit of the squeamishness of a Roman noble woman." Dido said seriously.

Dido has been living with Crotokatax in Rome since she married him, but when she was about to give birth, Cristoia insisted that Dido go to Turii in order to ensure a safe delivery. to give birth, so Dido stayed in Turii for a period of time and witnessed several gatherings of the Turii ladies organized by his mother-in-law. Identity, every time there are many Roman noble ladies who come to the banquet, even including the wife of the Roman Chief Executive Asistes, plus Dido himself is good at dancing, her banquet gradually became more and more popular in the entire Roman region. great fame.

Clotokatax did not stop it, because this practice is conducive to expanding his influence in Rome to meet the requirements of Davos.

"During this time, the Turii Inspectorate arrested a group of rebels who attempted to assassinate their father at the Greek Scholars Conference. Most of them were ex-Roman nobles, and Stolo had a special status. It was indispensable to have contacts with these people before. , it is normal to be investigated. But as far as I know about him, he is a smart man and will not be involved in this stupid conspiracy, and his father used to appreciate him more... I believe this is just a routine Investigation, he will go home safely soon, maybe he has already dined at home now." Crotokatax said firmly while eating cod.

"I thought so too, so I simply agreed to her. Anyway, we can easily get their gratitude without our efforts." Dido blinked his bright eyes.

"You you.

Clotokataxes shook his head helplessly, forked another piece of fried cod, just brought it to his mouth, remembered something, then put it down again, and said seriously: "Even someone with an identity like Konya." The Romans will be uneasy about this arrest, and I am afraid that other former Roman noble citizens will be more worried. I am worried that this will cause instability in the kingdom! "

"I think when my father made this decision, he must have considered this issue and had corresponding measures to deal with it, don't worry!" Dido said that these are not comforts. Since she joined the Kingdom of Dionia, In recent years, I have deeply felt that Dionia's strength today is inseparable from her father-in-law: he is a man of great political wisdom, and he is also very good to her. For a period of time, not only did he care about her, but whenever Cristoia criticized him, he would come out to persuade and speak for her...

After Margo died, she found her father's shadow in another person.

Clotokatax agreed with his wife's words, he finished eating a piece of cod with confidence, suddenly remembered something again, and said softly: "Today I received a letter from my father, in which he asked me to talk to him. Say something...the kingdom will send the governor of Sicily, Haka, back to Turii."

"Ah!" Dido thinks that he has been able to face everything calmly since he had betrayed Carthage and his father's death, but hearing the news still made him and her a little flustered.

Clotokatax saw his wife's thoughts, gently squeezed her hand on the dining table, and said with a smile: "Father is not going to idle Haka, but invites him to Turiyi as a senator. The rotating chairman of the hospital."

Dido was stunned for a moment, and then asked: "Who is vacant among the five rotating chairmen?"

"It's a seat specially created by my father for him in the Senate, which shows that my father attaches great importance to him!"

Clotokatax heard from his wife that after most of Margonid's family members migrated to Iberia, Margo and Hasdruba fought abroad all year round, but Dido and Haka were at home. They have been together for the longest time, especially during the Western Mediterranean War. The two have to worry about the safety of their relatives and stabilize the situation in the territory. They comfort and support each other. Although they are only cousins, they are better than brothers and sisters, so their relationship is very good. , so he continued to comfort his wife, saying: "Besides, Haka's health has not been good, and the affairs of the southern part of Iberia are so heavy. It is good for his health to be transferred back to Turii. A little closer to us, Chris is over two years old, and he has never seen his uncle!  …”

Dido was relieved by this explanation from Crotokatax, but she seemed to ask again unintentionally, "Who will be the new Governor of Sicily?"

"Father didn't say it in the letter." Clotokatax thought for a while, and said with a stern face: "I think my father will definitely send a very capable elder to take over the position. In the past year, in the Iberian territory Frequent attacks by indigenous people has a lot to do with the inaction of local officials. It needs to be rectified. We do not want to see the area that your father spent 10 years conquering eventually become ravaged by indigenous people. paradise!"

Dido was silent for a moment, then raised his brows and said softly: "Kloto, you are right. Since the southern part of Iberia has become the territory of the Kingdom of Dionia, then it should be assured that the kingdom will go to the kingdom. Governance... do you still need a bowl of soup for you?"

"I'm full." Clotokatax put the knife and fork on the dining table, and the servants hurried over to clean up.

"Clotto." Dido asked softly again, "When can we go back to Turii?"

"This... I still need my father to decide..." Clotokatax's desire to go home is not very strong, mainly because he is more free here, and his efforts have been recognized by many people , which gave him a sense of accomplishment, so he thought about it and said, "When my father kept me here, I hoped that through my efforts, the people here would recognize the Kingdom of Dionia more and support our royal family, but I haven't done enough. , I may need to stay here for a few more years... I am still only a Roman household registration officer, maybe when I become the Roman city mayor, I will not be far from home. "

……………………………………

As Clotocatacs put it, the news of "the arrest of a group of ex-Roman nobles" spread in the kingdom and did make some Roman citizens of Dionia nervous, but soon they got News: Sextus becomes the commander of the army.

Immediately afterwards, a bigger piece of news shocked them: the rotating chairman, Lycias, resigned as the chief executive of Turii, and was succeeded by Manlius Pubrius, a former Roman aristocrat who is now a Dionysian sire.

Turii is the center of the kingdom, and its chief executive position is far more important and more powerful than other towns in the kingdom. It must be an elder trusted by King Davos to serve. And this new news is a strong proof: this time the arrest is not to purge the former Roman nobles, but indeed these people are conspiring to rebel. King Davos still trusts and is willing to reuse the former Roman nobles.

"Publius became the chief executive of Turii" was also a major event in the kingdom's political arena. Publius, who had always been low-key and had never served as chief executive, was suddenly nominated by the outgoing Lycias. , which not only surprised many elders, but also met their strong opposition. But with the full support of Davos, he finally sat on this important position.

Even after the dust had settled, the elders still had a lot of criticism, but soon their attention was drawn to another major event: the death of the Chancellor of the Exchequer, Mersis.

Since the establishment of Dionia, Mersis has been in control of the country's financial power. Although many elders have had disputes with him because of money issues, they all have to admit that it is precisely because he is strict and shrewd Under the management of the Kingdom, the Kingdom did not lead to financial collapse in several life-and-death and costly wars, and they managed to support it, and only then did the Kingdom become as strong as it is today.

Of course, they are not worried that the death of Mersis will lead to chaos in the management of the kingdom's taxation. In fact, his successor has long surfaced. During his ill bedridden period, Archibides, on his recommendation and with the support of the King, did a great job in the position of Acting Chancellor of the Exchequer, and many believed that he would officially take over this important kingdom position. .

In the past few days when Mersis' body was dead, King Davos and his wife, five rotating chairmen, ministers of various departments, elders, officials at all levels of the kingdom, and even many people in Turui went to pay homage. There was a long queue every day in front of the mansion where he lived, and Mersis was far less beautiful than the days after his death.
