- Wang Weiyi now knew why Pompeo called him here. He wanted to use his wife to create a reputation for generosity for Jaculius.
And it seems that Pompey obviously attaches great importance to his adopted son.
But today, Wang Weiyi was not without gain. He at least discovered something very interesting. Although Pompeo personally attended Servius's banquet and acted very friendly with Servius, in fact, There are conflicts between these two people.
Servius was also a young general full of ambition, but he lost command of the army because of Caesar. Pompey gave him a big house, but what else? Servius's pursuits are not limited to these.
However, what Pompeo values ????more now is Yaculius. £® £® £® £® £®
Wang Weiyi felt that he had an opportunity. £® £® £® £® £®
While he was thinking there, Pompey's voice rang again: "We will have all the necessary entertainment programs, and in addition to these programs, my adopted son Jacurius will also hold a naval battle show in the city of Rome!"
¡°Oh my God! A naval battle show is held in the city of Rome!!¡±
The Romans present all whispered to each other, and a senator stood up from his seat: "Pompeo, how do you plan to hold a naval battle show in Rome? Do you want to fill the Colosseum with water? Or is the legend true, the immortal Jupiter? Did God possess his divine power on you? I heard that Jupiter¡¯s brother in charge of the ocean doesn¡¯t have a good relationship with you.¡±
After saying these words, the veteran looked around and was very proud of his witty words. Sure enough, the crowd cheered for his humor, which made him stand out.
"In the past during the war, when the seas raised storms and swallowed up my fleet several times, I did say 'I will win despite Neptune's displeasure,' and the entertainment continued in the arena that day. "Take the statue of Poseidon away from the sacred procession." Pompey also laughed: "But this time it is hosted by Jacurius, and the noble god should be satisfied with the grand celebration of his festival." "
Pompey waited for the laughter in the hall to gradually subside. Then he continued: "This naval battle show will be divided into two armies. All capable Roman citizens can equip a ship to participate, and the ship with the best performance will be There will be a prize of 50,000 sesterces, the second place will get 30,000 sesterces, the third place will get 10,000 sesterces, and the owner of the boat can also engrave the winning logo on the bow. However, the participating boats must have a. The condition is to ship a ship of food to Rome so that people don¡¯t have to worry about food shortages while having fun. You must know that the consumption of wine during the festival is staggering, and a lot of food will be spent to brew it. As for how to hold a naval battle in the city of Rome. You will know when the ship unloads the grain into the Roman granary and sails to the mouth of the Tiber River.¡±
The people of Rome received satisfactory news, and most of them went home to have lunch in a happy mood. Only a few people who wanted to see Pompey and Jaculius up close were left gathered at the door of the Senate. In the Senate, Augustus took Jacurius to each senator one by one, greeted them and had a cordial conversation with them.
Any Roman with a more sensitive sense of smell will understand what Augustus¡¯ actions today mean, let alone those whose interests are deeply involved. £® £® £® £® £®
"Come on, Yaculius, let me introduce a friend to you." After introducing the senators to Yaculius, Pompey took him to Wang Weiyi, who was standing silently in a corner: "Spurius a generous friend.
Jaculius was a little surprised. It seemed that the man named Splius was not a few years older than him, but Pompey seemed to attach great importance to him. This was very rare to see in Pompey in the past.
"Spurius, I think you recognized my adopted son Jacurius just now" Pompeo smiled and said: "How about it, do you think this young man can succeed?"
"Of course, the only consul." Wang Weiyi also answered Pompeo with a smile: "He was cultivated by you and received your grand introduction. Of course he can succeed. Ah, if there is anything I can do for you. Please feel free to ask, I will do my best to help."
This is exactly what Pompeo wanted to hear. He, Wang Weiyi, Richthofen, and Jakulius walked to a place with few people. After pondering for a while, they said: "You have to know, my friend, this time There will be a lot of expenses to celebrate the Poseidon Festival, and all the expenses will be borne by me. If it is borne by Rome, it will not be approved by the Senate, and my poor Jaculius. £®?
He glanced at his adopted son: "He has to bear the food and drink for everyone, which is a huge expense"
Sure enough, as he thought, Wang Weiyi smiled lightly and said: "Your generosity will move all Romans, and I, as a Roman citizen who was once far away from Rome, must do my meager part. Lord Archon, please don¡¯t worry, all your adopted son¡¯s expenses will be borne by me. Not only that, I will also be responsible for the bonuses during the Poseidon Festival.¡±
Pompeo smiled, very happily. He was now convinced that he had seen the right person.
What he wants to win over "Splius" is his huge financial resources. Although Pei doesn't know how huge "Splius's" financial resources are, he just has this feeling. This man has the slightest Not inferior to the wealth of Crassus.
After the death of Crassus, the alliance between Pompey and Caesar also completely broke apart. He needed to find a new rich man to ally with him and act as his inexhaustible treasury.
And "Spurius" filled the huge hole left by Crassus very well when Pompey needed help the most. £® £® £® £® £®
Pompeo had a smile on his face: "So, how do you want me to repay you?"
"My contribution to you does not need to be repaid." Wang Weiyi said lightly.
"Ah, you are the real friend, but I can't accept your funding for nothing." Pompeo thought for a moment: "You are an upright Roman citizen. It just so happens that there are several vacancies in the Senate. There is no age limit for members. I will do my best to elect you as a new member of the Senate.
Wang Weiyi never expected this. A member of the Roman Senate? A Germanic confederate consul to serve as a member of the Roman Senate? This is so ironic.
Pompey probably never dreamed that the person standing in front of him and talking to him was the biggest enemy of Rome!
Wang Weiyi said casually and solemnly: "Thank you for your trust, Mr. Sole Consul. If I can become a member of Parliament, then I will do my best to fulfill the responsibilities of a Roman Duke and a Roman Senator."
??In a sense, the alliance between Wang Weiyi and Pompeo has initially taken shape.
"This is a very strange alliance. The two people were supposed to be mortal enemies who met life and death on the battlefield.
Pompey would never have imagined that the barbarian leader who had defeated Caesar several times would dare to enter Rome with such arrogance and stand in front of him and talk to him.
On the contrary, now he is quite happy to have found a new ally with huge wealth. £® £® £® £® £®
"Pompeo, how many famous actors have you invited to the Poseidon Festival?" At this time, a woman's voice rang out.
Several heads turned around and saw a very young, beautiful and enchanting woman. A smile immediately appeared on Caesar's face: "Singroa, you are more beautiful than yesterday."
"You are really good at complimenting people, Lord Pompey." Singroya's smile looked very charming. She looked at Wang Weiyi and said, "Aren't you going to introduce your new friend to me?"
"A young rich man, who has carried out countless adventures in the East, an upright Roman citizen, a future new member of the Roman Senate, my friend-Spurius." Pompeo introduced Wang Weiyi's long list Title: "At the same time, he is also my new patron As for this young and beautiful lady who enjoys a high reputation in the city of Rome, she is the wife of Centumaros, the new governor of Germania. ,Singroa.¡±
Oh, this is Sentumulus¡¯ wife? Wang Weiyi paid more attention to Singroya.
In addition to being beautiful, this woman made him feel even more enchanting, with a kind of charm that made people forget about her.
"Hello Mrs. Singroya." Wang Weiyi said very politely.
"Hello, young rich man Spurius." Singroya smiled seductively: "Didn't you give me the gift you brought from the east?"
Wang Weiyi smiled: "I didn't expect to meet you here. During the Poseidon Festival, I will personally present the gift I prepared for you. I hope it will be loved by you."
Several people laughed, but no one took it seriously. In Rome such promises happen almost every day. £® £® £® £® £®
"Ernst, are you really going to sponsor this Poseidon Festival?" When he returned to his residence, Richthofen couldn't help but ask.
Wang Weiyi clickedHead: "This is good for us. Sponsoring a Poseidon Festival is just a small and negligible sum for the base, but it will allow us to further gain Pompey's trust. Now between Pompey and Caesar The period was full of contradictions. The greater Pompey's power and prestige in Rome, the more threatening he was to Caesar. When Caesar was eyeing us in Gaul, he probably never dreamed that we were copying him in Rome. £®
Richthofen probably understood something: "Member of the Roman Senate? This is really funny, you are the enemy of Rome!"
Wang Weiyi couldn't help but laugh: "Yes, I am an enemy of Rome, and sooner or later I will become a public enemy of Rome, but this is not bad, Manfred, don't you find it exciting?"
"Pompeo would probably be pissed to death if he knew your true identity." Richthofen shrugged.
At this time, the steward Balras came in: "Dear master, Master Servius has sent someone to invite you to his mansion. He has something to discuss with you.
Wang Weiyi and Richthofen exchanged glances. Servius? What does he want to do with him?
They suddenly thought of the behavior of Servius and Crasicius at the banquet, and couldn't help but feel a little scared.
He was really scared. The dignified Skeleton Baron would rather face thousands of troops on the battlefield than see the ambiguous eyes of Servius or Krasicius. £® £® £® £® £®
Fortunately, nothing happened to worry Wang Weiyi. When he saw Servius again, the face of this once glorious young Roman general was full of worry.
When he saw Wang Weiyi, he forced a smile and said, "Spurius, my friend
Does that female Gladiator still satisfy you? "
"Ah, yes, thank you for your kindness." Wang Weiyi said calmly: "So, are you calling me here just for the female gladiator?"
Going straight to the topic finally made Servius's expression less sad: "You are such a straightforward person. Now that you have asked, I think there is nothing to hide. I think you also know what happened today." Everyone saw that Pompey betrayed me just like Caesar betrayed me."
Wang Weiyi had unexpectedly said such a thing in front of a "friend" whom he had only known for two days. He said calmly: "I am very willing to listen to what you have to say."
Servius showed an indignant expression on his face: "After Caesar deprived me of my power arbitrarily and unreasonably, Pompey comforted me. In addition to giving me this luxurious house, he also promised that he would visit me again in the future." I believed him in giving back everything I had lost. But now he did not do it at all. £® But what about me? Will I stay in this mansion forever with those poets and dramatists?"
Wang Weiyi completely understood. Pompey had made him a promise, but now he had deserted him. This is why Servius refused to give Pompey face in front of so many people.
Servius may be very talented in military command, but he is not very good at life. He would rather risk offending Pompey to vent his anger.
This is very unwise, and it may even bring him some terrible disasters.
However, for Wang Weiyi, this is an excellent opportunity that anyone can take advantage of. £® £® £® £® £®
As long as he can hit Rome, Wang Weiyi doesn't care what method he uses, even if it is a despicable method in the eyes of the Romans!
Servius had no idea what Wang Weiyi was thinking. He still said angrily: "Does he think this is enough? No, I will never give up. I want to tell everyone that I am the most powerful person in Rome." I hope no one can beat me, not even Yaculius who was launched by Pompey!"
He was a little out of control. Wang Weiyi immediately said: "Please calm down your emotions. Anger will only make people lose their minds. So now you can tell me, what help do you need from me? I believe you asked me to come here for more than just this." Those who complained."
"Yes, you guessed it right. I came to you to discuss something with you" Servius tried to calm down: "I must find a way for this Poseidon Festival competition. This is probably my only chance to win, but I know from other places that Pompey has found the best ships and coaches for him to ensure that Yaculius wins. This is so unfair. It's so unfair??, who would have thought that there would be a naval battle in Rome? Including me, no one was prepared at all. Pompey might as well declare Jakulius the victory! "
His loud noise made Wang Weiyi smile. He knew exactly what Servius needed: "Servius, my friend, I think I can help you."
Joy suddenly flashed on Servius¡¯s face: ¡°Really? Spruius, my friend?¡±
"Yes, I never deceive my friends." Wang Weiyi nodded solemnly: "When I was in the East, I saw the best and fastest ship, and I can help you find it quickly. What you want to do "It's just a matter of serious training. When the naval battle begins, I firmly believe that you will be able to obtain great conveniences by relying on the ships I provide, which will shock all the Romans."
"Oh my god, my friend, how can I be grateful to you?" Servius stood up and hugged Wang Weiyi heavily.
Wang Weiyi had goosebumps all over his body. £® £® £® £® £®
Servius was really grateful to Wang Weiyi at this time. You know, he is not familiar with any ships, and besides, he has those poets and dramatists in Rome, and he has no friends who can really help him.
He was so sick that he went to the doctor before he found the newly recognized "Splius". He didn't have much hope at first. After all, even if "Splius" really had the ability to help him, he would not go there. At the risk of offending Pompey.
However, what he didn¡¯t expect when he was asked to play was that ¡°Splius¡± agreed to help him.
"I think this should be a secret between us." Wang Weiyi hurriedly broke away from Servius' embrace: "This secret is only known between you and me, scolding?"
"Yes, I can swear on my honor!" Servius replied very seriously.
Now, a new alliance has been formed. This is Wang Weiyi's second alliance in Rome. - Didn't finish reading? Add this book to your favoritesI'm a member and bookmarked this chapterCopy the address of this book and recommend it to your friends for pointsChapter error? Click here to report
