After entering the lobby of the Senate, Chen Ti noticed the arrangement. The chairs were surrounded by the lobby, and the heights were different, lower than the middle and higher than the outside. If you want to sit on the chairs in the outer ring, you have to go up the steps. It is a bit similar to the Colosseum he visited in the city of Rome, but this size is much smaller. The nobles in white robes have almost filled these positions.

There is a table less than one foot in the middle of the venue. There is a large table on the table, creating exquisite chairs. Needless to say, this must be the throne of Karakara. There are also a few chairs placed next to the table, which are obviously for Chen Ti and others to sit on.

Sure enough, Karakala climbed the low platform at the raising of her hands, but did not sit down. Chen Diao and others were also guided to sit on the temporary chairs. However, Macrinus stood behind the low platform with several other guards.

Karakala also gave the elders a hand salute, the difference was that his straight arm pointed to the outside, not in front. The elders then calmed down and put down their arms.

Caracala began to make a whispering speech. Chen Diao's translation was attached to his ears and translated in a low voice. Caracala was explaining to the elders the purpose of the envoys of Liang's Kingdom to Rome, and repeated the reasons why Rome should have formed an alliance with Liang and conquered Sassanthes in his own words. Finally, he expressed his opinion--thought the Roman Empire should have taught Sassanthes, who had long known the vastness of heaven and earth, and regained the lost territory in the Syrian province.

As soon as he finished speaking, Chen Ti heard a buzzing discussion from the hall. Karakala took two steps back and sat on the throne casually.

At this time, an old man with a gray beard walked down from the front seat. Chen Ti thought he bowed to Karakara like the etiquette of the Central Plains, and then expressed his opinions to Karikara. Unexpectedly, after the old man came to the center of the venue, he turned around without saying a word, and pointed his butt at Chen Ti and others, of course, there was Karikara.

Chen Ti frowned and thought to himself, why is this person so inequality? The old man was already talking to the hundreds of veterans in the hall, and while talking, his tone kept moving back and forth, his tone was shaking, and his tone was ups and downs, as if he was singing a poem.

Through the translation beside him, Chen Diao realized that the old man's view was that he agreed to the alliance between Rome and Liang, but he strongly opposed the war against Sassanthes. The reason was that several provinces were suffering from drought and flood, and the treasury had not much money and food, so he could not afford the labor force to expedition.

After the old man finished speaking, he returned to his seat, but he came down to see that this person was about twenty or thirty years old. Only then did he realize that although the institution was called the Senate, the "senate" here was not necessarily the elderly. The young man also began to speak passionately, accompanied by the words with strong body language. Through translation, Chen Diao knew that this man was a pro-war faction and strongly supported the war against Sassanida, not only to recover all the fallen places in Syria, but also to Taixifeng.

In this way, the veterans present had been controversial for almost two hours, and many veterans repeatedly asked Chen Diao various questions.

The last senator who spoke was the president of the Senate, but he did not express his attitude, but asked Chen Chiu: "If Rome and Liang unite and conquer and conquer Sassanid, how should the two countries divide the existing territory of Sassanid? Please tell me your requirements. Note that you should give us a 'lower price' to facilitate our next judgment and vote."

Chen Tie was prepared for this issue and replied: "As long as the two countries jointly conquer Sassanid, no matter what the actual control of the two armies, the territory that originally belonged to your country on the Mediterranean coast must still belong to your country. Even if it is occupied by our army at that time, the same is true. As for the rest of the land, whoever occupys the two armies first will belong to him."

The president nodded and said to the high platform where Karakara was sitting: "The first citizen of the empire, the great Majesty Karakara. According to the imperial law formulated by the Citizens' Congress, you have the arbitrary power to form an alliance with any country, but if you want to use the treasury to launch a non-defensive war to the outside world, you must obtain the voting process of the Senate. Therefore, if the alliance agreement you reached with Liang Kingdom includes the act of war, you need to pass the voting of our Senate."

Karakara said calmly: "Then start the vote." As his words fell, the attendants in the Senate immediately began to prepare. The dean shouted loudly: "Dear empire elders here, now we agree to whether His Majesty Karakara will agree to the agreement with the Liang Kingdom on the joint expedition to Sassanid. Please vote with a prudent and responsible vote for the future of the empire."

Then, he asked the senators who agreed to raise their hands, and then asked those who disagreed to raise their hands, but without raising their hands, the senators who held small books and charcoal pens were busy counting the numbers. Then they checked each other and reported them to the dean of the senators after preparation.

Finally, the president reported the result: "There are 300 veterans in the hospital, and today there are 296, 93 votes in favor, 173 votes against, and 30 abstentions."

Chen Diao, who was surprised by the other party's way of discussing affairs, heard the translator finishing the passage and said in surprise, "Most of them object, are they going to fail in this trip?"

At this moment, Karakala stood up and said, "My votes are in favor!"

The president of the Senate immediately announced that His Majesty Caracala, who had a hundred votes, agreed with the resolution, so the Senate passed the resolution by 193 votes, 173 votes, and 34 votes against it. He agreed with His Majesty Caracala's negotiations with Liang State and reached a resolution to jointly send troops to fight Sassanthes.

As soon as he finished speaking, the elders stood up and raised their hands to salute. Ulahula shouted. After Karakala gave them a gift, everyone withdrew from the lobby one after another.

Chen Diao was relieved, but the next arduous task was to negotiate with the Roman emperor Caracala. Of course, Caracala would not discuss with Chen Diao himself, but instead sent an official representative.

After nearly a week of negotiations, the two sides finally reached an alliance agreement. Although there are many changes to the framework template that Feng Yu had set for Chen Diao before, there is no big difference.

The biggest difference is that when Sassanthes was defeated, no matter what the actual control range of both sides were, the Mediterranean coast belonged to Rome. Now it has been changed to the Mediterranean coast and the Mediterranean coast belonged to Rome. Whoever occupied the rest of the place would belong to him. Chen Tie actually retreated to the bottom line given by Feng Yu, because he was eager to report to Feng Yu in a hurry.

Chen Diao, who reached the agreement, left Rome City on the same day and took a Shanghai boat to the east...
