After Antonio finished venting his anger, Ye Tian continued to smile and said:

"The discovery of Caesar's rod of conqueror here makes me wonder about Caesar's death, and also about a series of things that happened afterwards. The true history may be different.

Caesar’s shrewdness and wisdom are well known, otherwise he would not have become the supreme leader of ancient Rome, a military commander and politician of the ages, but some of his behaviors before being assassinated were very strange.

The first is that he openly humiliated the elders at the Senate Council. When the elders granted him the title of "Holy Ruler", he sat still in his seat and did not stand up to be sealed. This action undoubtedly angered the elders.

Those elders were all big figures in Rome. They were all high-ranking men. How could they bear this kind of humiliation. Therefore, it is not surprising that they had the idea of ​​assassinating Caesar. The so-called rabbit bites people when they are in a hurry, let alone the elders.

The second doubt is that after publicly humiliating the elders, Caesar abnormally fired all his bodyguards, leaving himself in a completely undefended state. This is definitely not something a shrewd ruler can do.

For a period of time before the assassination, in Rome at that time, there were rumors that someone conspired to assassinate Caesar. Of course, this was not groundless. Caesar, who had the most powerful intelligence system at the time, could not have known it.

Even when Caesar was on his way to the Senate, someone secretly handed him a warning note, but Caesar ignored it and entered the Senate with confidence. Everyone knows what happened next.

With Caesar's shrewdness and wisdom, even if he is very confident, he shouldn't be so confident about life and death matters. This has to make people doubt that all these things are in his calculations.

His calculation is to use his own death to clear all political enemies and clear the way for his successor, Octavian. If this is the case, then there is no doubt that he has done it very successfully, and he has succeeded in one battle! "

There is no doubt that everyone on the scene was stunned by Ye Tian's remarks, one by one was stunned, staring at the same place, eyes full of incredible!

Several of them wanted to refute, but couldn't find a suitable explanation for a while.

After a moment of silence, the Bishop of Kent asked curiously:

"Steven, what you said seems to make sense, but why did Caesar do this? Is it too expensive to pave the way for Octavian by using himself as a bait?"

Hearing this, everyone else on the scene nodded and echoed a few words.

Ye Tian looked at the Bishop of Kent, then glanced at the crowd, and then gave his own answer.

"Gentlemen, I believe everyone knows that Caesar was 58 years old when he was stabbed to death. In ancient Rome, he was considered an old man, and Caesar also suffered from severe temporal lobe epilepsy.

With Caesar's pride and self-esteem, whether he died in epilepsy accompanied by incontinence, or was murdered as a hero, Caesar bravely and decisively chose the latter, and the murder would happen.

Caesar once said, ‘I would rather be a leader in a small fishing village than walk into Rome mediocrely’, ‘I’m here, I see, I conquer’, this is the perfect embodiment and portrayal of Caesar’s character.

Because of this, he accepted the sudden death and counted all the enemies. After all, Caesar was Caesar. He even designed his own death as a sharp weapon against political enemies.

And six months before he was assassinated, he made a will early and arranged everything in an orderly manner. It turns out that Caesar's death did not bring chaos to Rome!

Those elders who murdered Caesar didn’t get any benefits. They fled Rome in a hurry amid the terrible anger of the Roman people, and finally chose to commit suicide or die under the iron horse of Octavian"

Before the words fell, the exclamation sounded frantically.

"Wow! If that's the case, it's really a shocking chess game. Everyone has become a chess piece in Caesar's hand. Let him play it. It's terrible!"

"Don't say, Caesar's assassination is indeed full of heroism. It is a tragic epic and completely wiped out all enemies. If he died of epilepsy, there would be absolutely no such effect!"

After an exclamation, someone at the scene asked curiously:

"Steven, even if, as you said, Caesar's assassination was in his own calculations, what does that have to do with the rod of conqueror? This golden rod symbolizing the highest power in ancient Rome, why hasn't it been passed on? To Octavian?"

Hearing this, everyone at the scene nodded, and then all looked at Ye Tian to see how he explained.

Ye Tian smiled softly, then gave his own answer.

"As we all know, when Caesar was assassinated, Marc Anthony, the consul of Rome at the time, was also in the Senate, but before the assassination happened, his colleague Torrebonius invited him to the side to talk, so he could not stop the assassination.

However, after Caesar was assassinated, the Senate fell into chaos. Mark Anthony, who was also in the Senate, was entirely possible to take Caesar's belongings by chaos, then escape from the Senate, and then escape from Rome.

Soon after Caesar’s death, in order to fight for the supreme power of the Roman Republic, Octavian, the first heir to Caesar, accepted Mark Antony’s proposal, and together they pardoned the elders who assassinated Caesar.

But before long, after the formation of the three-head alliance between Octavian and Mark Anthony, and Leipida, Octavian directly tore up the promise and began to hunt down those veterans who participated in the assassination of Caesar and their followers.

All the veterans who participated in the assassination of Caesar, including Brutus and Cassius, were blacklisted by Octavian and were made public. In the end, those veterans were forced to commit suicide or died in Octavian. Under the iron cavalry!

When Octavian saw Caesar's death in the hands of the forgiveness object, he insisted on cutting the grass and rooting out the roots. In Rome, at least more than two thousand people died under his butcher's knife, making funerals for those stupid elders.

It now appears that Octavian’s crazy slaughter may not be entirely aimed at avenging Caesar and purging political opponents. Maybe it is looking for Caesar’s relics in the name of revenge, such as this extremely important rod of conqueror.”

Speaking of this, there was another exclamation on the scene.

"Wow! If these are true, this is simply another "History of Rome"!"

"Gosh! This is a crazy day too disruptive!"

In the exclamation, Ye Tianqinglang's voice came out again and reached the ears of everyone on the scene.

"After killing all the veterans who assassinated Caesar, Octavian tore up the'Last Three Heads Alliance' agreement and started chasing Mark Anthony frantically. Everyone knows that Mark Anthony is his father-in-law!

Since then, their relationship split and merged, but in any case, Octavian never gave up the idea of ​​destroying Mark Anthony. Mark Anthony also knew this. Octavian asked him to return to Rome several times, but he ignored it.

It was not until 30 BC, when Mark Antony was completely defeated by Octavian. He and his mistress, the famous Cleopatra, committed suicide before ending the internal war in Rome.

The reason why Octavian chased Mark Antony in a frenzy, in addition to competing for the highest power in Rome, may also be related to Caesar's relic and the conqueror's rod in front of everyone. This connection seems more reasonable!

Because he could not return to Rome, Mark Antony could not take out the hidden Caesar's relics. As a kind of revenge, he died without saying that these Caesar's relics were hidden in Rome, right under Octavian's eyes!

Of course, these are my conjectures, you don’t have to take them seriously, but I believe that these conjectures still have some truth, and we may be able to find evidence to verify them in the next exploration."

The voice fell, and the scene suddenly became quiet.

Without exception, everyone has a dumbfounded expression, eyes full of incredible.

The eyes that they looked at the rod of the conqueror became even hotter, almost burning!
