That Brutus "is a honourable man".
The triumvirate members who fought against Brutus and the conspirators were Octavian and Marc Antony.
In his speech against Brutus and the conspirators, Antony emphasizes the betrayal of Julius Caesar by highlighting his positive contributions to Rome and questioning the motives behind the assassination. He repeatedly refers to Brutus as an "honorable man" while juxtaposing this with evidence of Caesar's generosity and the conspirators' treachery. By showcasing Caesar's will, which bequeaths money to the citizens, Antony stirs public emotion and incites doubt about the conspirators' justification for their actions. Ultimately, his rhetoric shifts public opinion against Brutus and the conspirators, igniting a riot.
to pretend to honor them
Brutus did not plan to kill Mark Antony although he most certainly thought about it. Brutus knew Antony was loyal to Caesar and that Antony had military skills. Brutus, however, clearly underestimated the damage that Antony could cause. Brutus made a mistake and he would die for his conspiracy against Caesar.

Before Brutus agrees to Antony's request to speak at Caesar's funeral, he places the condition that Antony must not blame the conspirators for Caesar's assassination. Brutus wants to ensure that the speech does not incite the crowd against them. Additionally, he insists that Antony must speak after him, allowing Brutus to present the conspirators' rationale first.
Antony
The reason Antony does this is to make the citizens/ the poor to go and against Cassius, Brutus, and the conspirators. :D
Brutus's decision to allow Mark Antony to speak at Caesar's funeral underestimated Antony's rhetorical skill and his bond with the Roman populace. By not silencing Antony and permitting him to incite the crowd, Brutus inadvertently fueled a rebellion against the conspirators. Additionally, his failure to take decisive action against Antony after Caesar's assassination contributed to the chaos that ultimately led to Brutus's downfall and the defeat of the conspirators. These choices revealed Brutus's naivety and misguided sense of honor, sealing his tragic fate.
In Shakespeare's "Julius Caesar," Antony promises Brutus that he will speak at Caesar's funeral and will not blame the conspirators for Caesar's death. He assures Brutus that he will only speak good of Caesar and will respect Brutus's wishes, thereby maintaining the trust between them. However, Antony's true intention is to sway the crowd against the conspirators, ultimately turning public opinion in favor of Caesar.
He believes that the people will turn against Brutus and the other conspirators and start a riot.
