Vol 8 Chapter 374: Kingdom Assembly during the war (1)

The latest website: Oh ... There is another profession, respected status, is to become a scholar, but this is too difficult, I guess you will not consider it. The three ways I said 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 go to Turui school as soon as possible, so that when he grows up in the future, his development will be smoother than his elder brother. And your daughter, let her hurry to school. "
Speaking of this, Tibulus saw Pubius frowning slightly, so he said: "I know that you Romans and Greeks are more traditional and conservative in the education of your daughter, but I tell you that we are different in Dionia , We will let the girl study and exercise with the boy, and try her best to cultivate her talents, so that she can find a good husband when she is an adult, because we Daionians believe that only healthy mothers can give birth to healthy children, Only talented mothers can give birth to smart children!
In the Kingdom, women not only have the right to inherit property, but also a law that states, ‘If a citizen has only a daughter and no son, he can discuss with the son-in-law and choose one of the children born to the daughter to inherit his last name. ’Therefore, women's status in the kingdom is still relatively high. "
Tiberus said here, could not help but smile: "I now have two daughters and no son, but with these legal provisions, I am not worried at all."
Pbulius didn't know how to answer, and remained silent for a moment.
Tibulus stood up and said, "Don't soak in the cold water bath for too long in this season, otherwise you will catch cold easily."
As he said, he stepped out of the bath, took the cloth towel hanging on the wall, and threw it to Pbulius.
Tibulus wiped his body with a cloth towel, stretched his hands and feet, and said aloud, "Take a bath, you can sleep well tonight, and you will go to the Kingdom Assembly tomorrow with sufficient spirit!"
"Yeah, Turui's bath is so awesome, I can't help but want to move to Turui earlier to live there!" Pubulius once again declared that he was a little excited, half because Part of the reason for the bath was that Tibulus's words gave him confidence in moving to Turui.
……………………………………
In the early morning of the second day, after having breakfast, the guests of the Kingdom Hotel, after solemnly finishing their costumes, successively walked to the large parliament hall not far away. At the same time, many people gathered from other directions and soon formed two long lines in front of the Great Hall.
On this day, the Turui inspection team blocked the entire Victory Square and the Senate, prohibiting the entry of idlers, and the inner city was strictly prohibited to enter and exit to ensure the smooth holding of the Kingdom Assembly.
As a newcomer to the Kingdom Senate, Pbulius was standing in the line, and he didn't know anyone, watching other people around him greet each other enthusiastically and tell each other the recent situation.
But Tibulus who followed him was indeed a Turui. Although it was the first time to attend the Kingdom Assembly, there were still a lot of people he knew, and he also took the initiative to introduce them to Poulius.
These people learned that Pubulius was a new kingdom veteran and that they were from Rome. They were curious and asked about the situation in Rome.
Pubulius also answered seriously, and everyone gradually became familiar with each other. At this time, Pubulius realized that these people were all members of the local council elected to participate in the assembly in the towns of the Kingdom of Dionia.
Not long after, Publius and Tibrus were standing in front of the main entrance of the Great Hall. The order officer at the entrance, after asking the name of Publius, looked at him with some confusion: "Publi Mr. Us, you are a veteran and you can enter through the side door. Didn't the hotel waiter tell you? "
Publius took a look at Tibrus and said, "I am attending the Kingdom Assembly for the first time, and I think it would be more lively to take 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, and surrounds the center in a semicircular shape. In the center is a flat floor paved with white marble, with several dark red wooden tables. Behind the center stands a stone platform a few meters high with a large and exquisite seat.
Publius stared several times, guessing that it was the seat of King Dionia.
In the front rows of these seats, more than 300 people were seated. They were wearing white robes embroidered with exquisite black patterns, mostly with gray hair, and were talking to each other softly.
These are the veterans of the Kingdom of Dionia! Publius thought to himself that he was about to sit with Tibulus behind them, but the order officer came to the front and whispered to the most central person.
Soon five people stood up and walked towards them.
Publius knew one of them-Antaeris, who had hosted them.
Tibrus immediately saluted one by one respectfully and said, "Master Cornelius! Lord Lucias! Lord Sedorum! Lord Antauris! Lord Vespa!"
Lucia Asi, the chief of Turui, who was once the boss of Tibulus, nodded and said, "Tibulus, have you worked hard, are you ready?"
"Already prepared."
"Get a good rest first, and when it's your turn, behave well!"
"Yes!"
The order officer led Tibulus to the side of the seat in the first row to make it easier for him to speak on the stage.
Tibrus had already guessed that the five were the five rotating chairmen of the Dionian Senate, and he also noticed that they were different from the other veterans in the burtons they were wearing with gold trim.
One of them, a pale-haired old man, smiled and said, "Welcome to you, Lord Poulius! I am Cornelus, the rotating chairman of the Dionia Senate ...."
Pubulius said hello to each other and salute each other, both sides are smiling, the movements are elegant and subtle. Don't look at Pubulius on the way laughing at Tibulus, as if he were an ordinary person, but at this moment he intentionally showed the demeanor he once served as the Roman Senate and the Grand Clan patriarch.
Next, Cornelius led Pubulius to the center of the venue, and then shouted to the veterans on the stage: Everyone, this is the Pubulius from Rome who newly joined the Senate last year. Elder Manlius, please warmly applaud and welcome him to be one of us! "
The applause rang warmly.
Then Cornelius motioned for Pbulius to say a few words.
Pubulius didn't quit, he took a step forward, stood upright, looked around at the crowd with a smile, and then said loudly: "I felt Diao deeply on the way to Turiyi. The territory of the Kingdom of Nynia is vast; when I arrive in Turui, I am attracted by the prosperity of this huge city, and I know that all this is closely related to the efforts of the elites of the Kingdom, and I am glad to be you One of them, contributing to the strength of Dionia! "
There was applause again in the venue, and it was warmer than before.
The five rotating chairmen glanced at each other, and the meaning expressed was self-evident: in these years, they had performed a similar and simple welcoming ceremony in the Senate for a number of veterans who had just joined the kingdom, but they could not be humble or humble. Few people have spoken such words, this veteran from Rome is not easy!
Therefore, the five asked Pbulius to sit next to them. It is logical that this position is not for the newcomers, but today he reserved this seat for him. The sincerity of the Romans, on the other hand, also made it easy for them to learn about the recent situation of the Latinum area from Poulius's mouth. stand up.
At the same time, representatives of local parliamentarians gradually entered the venue, and the whole venue became more lively.
I don't know how long it took, an order officer came over and whispered: "Five adults, all the attendees are here."
Cornellus stopped talking to Pbulius, looked at the other four, and asked, "People are here, let's start?"
"Hurry up and start, and drag on. Today's meeting may not last until the evening." Anta Oris said eagerly.
Cornellus stood up, the other four also stood up, and walked towards the center of the venue together.
There was an immediate thunderous applause in the conference hall, echoing repeatedly in this closed circular space.
Pubulius turned his head and looked back ~ EbookFREE.me ~ I saw all the wooden chairs were seated, it seems that even several entrances and exits have been added wooden chairs, except in the center of the venue, crowded Dangdang.
There are at least thousands of people! ... Publius was surprised.
The five rotating chairmen walked to the wooden table beside the center of the venue and sat down facing the crowd.
At this time, the order officer of the Senate, standing in front of the Ministry of Supervision of the Kingdom, shouted in unison: "The Kingdom Assembly is about to begin. Please keep quiet!"
As soon as the voice fell, the venue quieted down immediately. The rapid response of everyone made Pubius a bit surprised. Of course, he didn't know: no matter who dared to continue the noise at this time, the order officials would be expelled from the venue on the grounds of "deliberately disturbing the venue." It was a problem of public ugliness in public, which would be investigated by the supervision department afterwards.
At this time, Cornellus stood up, stood in the center of the venue, looked at the crowd, and said, "You guys, I'm glad we are together again in the Senate today. According to regulations, it should have been King Daphs's kick-off for the opening. Speech, but unfortunately he is still leading the kingdom's army in Sicily to fight against the Carthaginians, so he can't be separated, so he wrote a letter and entrusted me to read it. "
