Chapter 506 Happy Time
Scipio sighed helplessly. Even the Cornelius family stood up against him. It seemed that it was impossible to imitate Daqin's tax policy.
Although the energy of other nobles is not small, Scipio, as the highest consul in Rome, can barely suppress it with the power in his hand and some prestige accumulated over the years.
But if it was the Cornelius family, there was nothing he could do.
As a member of the Cornelius clan, Scipio knew the horror of the Cornelius family. Several consuls in history came from here.
It is no exaggeration to say that its influence in Roman politics is even more terrifying than the influence of the Manliu clan in Roman business circles!
And just as the representative said, the reason why Scipio was able to become the highest consul in Rome and gain a firm foothold in this position was because of the strong support of the Cornelius family.
Even in order to jointly build a railway with Daqin, Scipio was questioned by many members of the Council of Elders and nobles, and it was also the Cornelius clan who helped him suppress it.
If the Cornelius family really wanted to remove Scipy from the position of supreme administrator, they could really do it!
Therefore, after hearing what the representative of the Cornelius family said, many nobles who were originally afraid of the power of the Cornelius family no longer had any scruples and began to bombard Scipio crazily. Come.
They were excited, and some even threw all kinds of vegetables and fruits on the stage, as if they wanted to drown Scipio with these things.
After all, the right to tax exemption was an important means of collecting wealth for the selfish Roman nobles. How could they allow Scipio to cut off his wealth in this way.
As for the so-called war between Rome and Carthage?
They don't care at all.
Anyway, as long as the flames of war did not spread to them and did not violate their interests, no matter how heavy the casualties of the regular Roman army were, or how pitiful the people were in the devastation of the flames of war, they would absolutely maintain the attitude of having nothing to do with themselves. manner.
Although it is a bit chilling to say this, the fact is that the Roman nobles have always been so ugly.
The nobles off the court all looked at Scipio on the stage with the eyes of a clown.
They all knew in their hearts that Scipio's campaign to enforce the new code had failed, but they were not surprised.
Because Scipio's failure was almost doomed from the very beginning, after all, the implementation of the new law really touched the interests of too many people.
Scipio is not Ying Yu, and Rome is not Da Qin. To go against the general trend is to bring about your own destruction and seek your own death.
But just when the nobles thought that the overall situation was settled, a Roman soldier hurried into the meeting of elders.
Before anyone reprimanded him for his rude behavior.
next second.
All the nobles on the field were dumbfounded.
Because this soldier brought a piece of news that shocked them extremely.
That is, Scipio's daughter Sophie has successfully married Daqin, and will soon marry into Daqin's Prince's Mansion!
This made Scipio's eyes light up again on the stage. He knew that he had finally ushered in the dawn of hope!
......
Xianyang City, inside the Prince's Mansion.
Ying Yu was crouching at the desk reviewing various memorials.
Since Yingzheng gradually handed over the power to him, he basically had to look over the major events that came from all over the place.
After all, today's Daqin is changing with each passing day, and it is far from what the previous Daqin can match. Many new things and industrial products can be said to have spanned an entire era, such as steam engines, railway trains, etc.
Even if Ying Zheng wanted to manage it himself, he couldn't do it.
Anyway, he was getting older, and sooner or later Daqin would be handed over to Ying Yu.
That being the case, Ying Zheng simply pushed with both hands and handed over all these matters to Ying Yu. It would be nice to be a hand-off shopkeeper and live a life full of grandchildren.
But in this way, Ying Yu will suffer.
Dealing with political affairs on a daily basis allowed him to have a more comprehensive grasp of Daqin, but his daily rest time was greatly reduced as a result. This made Ying Yu feel like he wanted to abdicate before he took over the position.
"Baba!"
Xiao Wan'er got out from the corner of the table, waved her little hands and shouted excitedly to Ying Yu.
Today's little Wan'er has also learned to speak, and no longer just babbles like before.
However, it seems that it is because of Xiao Xin'er's influence, Xiao Wan'er's accent is almost exactly the same as that of Xiao Xin'er, and they are both called 'baba, mama', which is quite gratifying.
Seeing his little daughter, Ying Yu immediately put down the memorial in his hand, opened his arms, and said with a doting smile on his face:
"Baby Wan'er, come quickly to Dad and let Dad see how much weight you have gained these days."
The little guy seemed to understand what Ying Yu said, raised his two fleshy arms, and threw himself into Ying Yu's arms with a smile.
"Before I knew it, my little one was already so heavy."
Feeling the heavy weight on his arm, Ying Yu had a happy smile on his face.
A child is a child, and they grow up really fast. They see each other almost every day, but Ying Yu looks at the two little guys in a different way every day. This may be from the perspective of a father, seeing his own child will be special. carefulness.
At this time, a round padded jacket hit his calf.
"Papa, I want to hug you too!"
Xiao Xin'er got out from nowhere, and seeing Ying Yu holding Xiao Wan'er, she also raised her hands and moved closer.
This little guy is obviously a big sister, but he can't suffer a bit anyway, but he has a somewhat similar personality to Yu Ji.
"Okay, okay, how could I forget my baby Xin'er?"
Ying Yu was full of smiles.
While putting Xiao Xin'er on his shoulder, he hugged Xiao Wan'er with his right hand around his arm, placed it on his other shoulder, and then used his hands to protect them.
"Baba!"
"Yeah! Riding a horse!"
Xiao Xin'er and Xiao Wan'er were sitting on Ying Yu's shoulders, their two chubby hands were flying wildly in the air. Sitting at such a high place obviously made them extremely excited.
"Okay, horse riding, then Xiao Xin'er and Xiao Wan'er must be caught, Ma Ma is going to set off now!"
Ying Yu supported their bodies, and then slowly wandered around the room with a happy smile on his face.
This is one of the few times when Ying Yu can feel relaxed, playing with his two lovely daughters, in the childish words of Xiao Xiner and Xiao Waner, it seems that all the troubles are blowing in the wind, The smoke cleared.
