v9 Chapter 45： The Kingdom Senate

In the early morning four days later, after recovering from a cold and rehabilitating, Haka and Hasdruba used breakfast together before leaving the mansion, one by sedan and one by foot, walking on a flat and solid street to the patriarch. hospital.

A lot of people were wearing black and white robes along the way. Obviously they were all the veterans who went to the meeting. They went together in twos and threes and greeted each other with smiles. The people who knew each other gradually gathered together, interested. Talking vigorously about the topic to be discussed today, some groups have gathered more than 10 people before they arrive at the square, so from time to time, pedestrians take the initiative to give way and say hello to them, and get their friendly response.

Haka was a newcomer and sat in a sedan chair. Although the veterans cast a curious look from time to time, no one came up to ask.

Hass Drumba had come to Turui since, except for a dinner at Davers House, he did not show up in public, and few people knew him. Only one person was approaching the Great Hall. Say hello to Hasdrubba with joy.

Hasdrubba couldn't remember who the other party was.

"This is Antiocha of Mazara." The man said with a smile.

Hasdruba suddenly widened his eyes, stared at the other person's face, remembered something, and said with anger: "It's you! It's you who led the Mazara to secretly open the city gate!-"

"Brother, just like your Majesty said at the banquet, 'Don't fight, you won't know each other'. The past things have passed. Now we are all Dionysian citizens and colleagues who work together. We should strengthen our contacts! Haka leaned out of the car and reminded.

"Master Haka is right!" Antiocha said with a relieved smile: "We are all Phoenicians, and all Turik outsiders, and we should help each other! Of course I am very willing to obey Lord Haka And Lord Hasdruba's orders, I believe other Phoenician veterans have the same idea. "

Hasdruba snorted, don't go over and didn't respond.

After attending the Royal Palace banquet last night and talking with Daphs, Haka had already reached the bottom of his heart, so he calmly said in the sedan: "Thank you Lord Antioch for your trust, I will try my best to live up to you trust!"

Antio Ka suddenly smiled, and soon he called for several Phoenician veterans from western Sicily and Sardinia.

The other elders saw the Phoenician elders who were usually less valued gathered around a sedan chair, and more or less guessed the reason, and unconsciously looked at the sickly new rotating chairman a few times. Minute.

Seeing the dome-like circular building in front, Hasdrubba couldn't help but feel a little nervous. Originally, he and Haka were going to enter through the side door because the distance was close, but Antiocha suggested: "Since Haha Ka and Hasdruba are participating for the first time in the Senate, and they should be entered from the main entrance so that they can manifest their existence. "

Even Hasdruba, who was jealous of his heart, had to admit that he was right, so a group of people bypassed the elders who were lining up to enter the side door and came to the front of the Great Hall.

There are also elders waiting in line to enter here. Haka stopped the sedan chair, walked out with the help of the slave, stood in front of the steps, and looked at the Victory Square in front of it and the towering memorial pillar in the center. The light of the morning light is particularly dazzling.

Although it was still in the morning, there were already many pedestrians in the square, or officials working in various departments near the square, vendors working in the shops near the square, or people preparing to go to the high court next to the square. Or people who just go for a walk and relax in the square, and some children with puppies chasing and playing in the square. The patrol team dressed in fleece and patrolling back and forth in the square does not stop them, but will fall with a smile. The children on the ground lifted up and took the dust off for them ... a lively scene.

Haka looked for a moment and said with a sigh, "Victory Square is a lot bigger than Carthage!"

Hasdrubba wanted to say, "But Carthage Square is much more gorgeous than this one."

But then he heard Antiocha said: "It's really big! After that war, Turui held a triumphal ceremony, which I watched at the time. This square fully accommodates nearly 40,000 soldiers, which is equivalent to 5 Legion, that scene is really shocking! "

Hasdruba remained silent, but from his restless look, he must be thinking about something.

"Well, what is this?" Haka curiously pointed to the platforms protruding on both sides of the steps: the two platforms were connected to the main entrance of the Great Hall, the platform was fenced, and the bronze walls were welded to the stone walls of the platform. However, round shields were inlaid between the protrusions, making the stone walls of the platform seem to be made of bronze, which looked a little embarrassing.

"This is the external lecture platform of the Senate. It was rebuilt three years ago. At the time of major celebrations, or important events and important bills passed, Her Majesty King Davos and the rotating chairman will speak to the people here." Antiocha looked at Hasdrubba, pointed to the bronze protrusions and said, "And this is the bronze horn of the warship ... unloaded from the captured Carthage warship ... and those bronze shields It was also the capture of Dionysian forces in that war— "

Antiocha saw that Hasdroba's face was ugly, and quickly added: "But most of it came from Rome. Her Majesty King Daphs once said, 'The reason why the podium is designed not to show off is that The victory is to remind the people and the elders that Dionysian is hard-won today. We must always be vigilant, remembering that war will be dead and forgetting it will be dangerous! '"

Haka tasted the words carefully, and then expressed his respectful expression, saying, "Your Majesty Davis is really wise. I believe that under his leadership, the Kingdom of Dionia will become stronger!"

Hasdruba finally couldn't help but said angrily: "If the stupid people of the Carthage Senate also understand this truth, they will not become what they are today!"

Haka apparently didn't want to talk more in this regard. He looked at the elders who were looking at him in front of him and said softly, "Let's go, and we'll also line up."

Antiocha immediately said: "Master Haka, you are the rotating chairman, you can directly enter the venue!"

Antiocha deliberately spoke very loudly, and the surrounding elders heard his voice, and all eyes suddenly focused, and began to whisper.

The etiquette officer on duty at the main entrance quickly ran down the steps and said with a doubt: "Master Haka?"

"I am." Haka nodded.

"Then please follow me," said the etiquette officer, then turned and walked up.

Haka glanced back at his brother.

"Fortunately, I didn't let you line up here, otherwise if it faints, it will be a joke, and hurry up." Hasdruba waved his hand impatiently.

Haka slowly walked up the steps under the attention of the crowd, and then he saw a golden column standing tall in front of him, facing the main entrance of the Great Hall, and some words were engraved on the column. He walked On a closer look, it reads in Greek: **** miles from Crotone, **** miles from Cilitine, **** miles from Hardrumentum ... and even **** miles from Ceci (South Iberia Central town).

"This is a milestone. It records the distance between Victory Square and all the major towns in the kingdom." The etiquette officer explained next.

"Well, the milestone is very interesting." Haka patted the cylinder lightly. He knew that Dionia was not Carthage. According to its unique polity, the numbers above actually meant Dionia. The distance and area covered by your power are amazing!

"Sir, please sign your name here." When he came to the tall wooden door, the ceremonial officer held a wooden board in one hand and a white pen in one hand, and said to Haka.

Haka saw that the top of the board was marked with time, and had already written some names. He did not hesitate to write his own name, and then asked curiously, "Is every veteran attending the meeting to sign?"

"Yes, so that we can know that the elders did not attend or are late, especially those who do not have an administrative appointment and should attend the meeting. If they are absent multiple times in a month, they will be criticized and punished by the Ombudsman. May even be deprived of their elder status! ... "

Haka nodded slightly, but thought to herself: As Dionia veteran and Hasdrumba, I have passed the Senate from the future in the past few years. What should I do?

The ceremonial officer seemed to understand his thoughts and continued: "You and Lord Hasdruba have been guarding the southern part of Iberia for a long time, and the situation is special, but now you are back in Turui, I hope to follow the order of the Senate! "

"That's for sure!" Haka responded solemnly ~ www.novelhall.com ~ At the signal of the etiquette officer, the guards gave way to the doorway.

Haka followed the etiquette officer and went up a stone staircase. He soon came to the second wooden door, where guards were also stationed, and he was conducting a courtesy search of the elders who entered.

The etiquette officer turned back and said, "Sir, due to the fierce disputes that often occur in the venue, there may be abusive and even small conflicts when excited ... For the safety of the elders, this is a necessary check."

"I see." Hakkar, who was very ill, agreed with this. After accepting the search of the soldier frankly, he followed the etiquette officer and entered the venue.

Upon entering the gate, Haka's eyes were directly attracted by a pure white chair that should be ivory carved on the open space in the center of the venue. It was steadily placed on a stone platform about two meters high with the back of the chair The upper floor is brown-yellow lion skin, facing the countless wooden chairs surrounding it arrogantly.
