[Egyptian doujinshi] The legend of flattery and misfortune

"Ramsus, what are you looking around for?" Nefertiti said displeasedly, this young man was the subordinate that Homeheb wanted to recruit at the beginning, but he switched to the new pharaoh who had no foundation before he could do anything He went there, although the empress dowager has to admit that he chose the right path, but he doesn't pay attention to the nobles of Thebes, which is always very irritating: "It's really useless!" present!"

As soon as the empress dowager spoke, Yaergubai, who had been immersed in resentment, came back to his senses, and met Ramses's pair of different-colored eyes that judged him.His heart trembled, and he smiled stiffly, but Ramses ignored it completely and turned his head indifferently. Yargubai was furious and clenched his fists involuntarily. Homheb saw The sword between the two was on the verge of breaking out, and he coughed twice to remind Yargubai.

It turns out that these two people also colluded?Ramses couldn't help being surprised. He probably knew that Yargubai was promoted by Pharaoh Tutankhamun before him, and that Akhinamei relied on Prime Minister Haza's police force to trip up the powerful minister Ayi by surprise. If Gubai hadn't contributed in it, it would be impossible for him to succeed Haza as the elder of the gate hall.This should be a proper imperial concubine faction, why did they collude with Home Heb?Even in terms of affection, this old minister of Tutankhamun should not be involved with Homheb, one of the suspects who murdered the pharaoh.

Could it be that there is a grudge?He knew that Akenami had separated the power of dispatching the police force from the duties of the elders of the gate hall. Yargubai felt very uncomfortable, right?But he was just a clerical director. What would he do with such great power? He couldn't agree with those retired soldiers pretending to be policemen, right?

Ramses couldn't figure it out no matter what, until Nefertiti shouted his name again angrily, Ramses came back to his senses, and said with a smile on his face: "His Royal Highness , I really miss the resplendent beauty of Thebes palace." He shrugged: "I can't get back to my senses, of course, no matter how beautiful and delicate it is, it can't compare with your eternal youthful face."

In all fairness, Ramses's appearance is very attractive to women, and he is also very good at talking. Even if the empress dowager knew that he was just flattering her face, she couldn't help but feel a little relieved: "I can understand that Akenami's body is in a special situation right now. The situation, now you set off to go back and tell the Pharaoh, let them not worry, and slowly go back along the Nile River, no matter when you return to Thebes..."

Seeing that the Empress Dowager was fooled, Ramses showed a grateful expression: "Your Highness is so considerate, but fortunately, the Chief Physician, Meng Dali, is closely serving the Empress Dowager. Based on her professional advice, the Empress Dowager is pampered. , The body is too delicate, and a while ago, he vomited the pharaoh in front of the civilians who welcomed Memphis. This is not a good sign. The chief physician said that before the situation stabilized, the princess It’s best not to go to the ground, let alone the swaying of the Nile River cruise ship, and the worst plan is to stay in Memphis after giving birth.”

La

Ramses is the father of more than a dozen children, and he is very aware of Senasa's tricks. Using the excuse that the princess was unwell during pregnancy, the delay lasted for more than half a year.When the baby is born, it can be used as an excuse that the newborn is too delicate to travel long distances.Even if the child grows up to three or four years old, he will report a headache from time to time, and continue to procrastinate.

In short, the pharaoh does not intend to return to Thebes, and the construction of the oasis in Fayoum is in full swing. It is said that it is to expand the harem of the old Thai princess for Akenami. In fact, the pharaoh may also plan to live in Thebes for a long time. This is it.

Sure enough, Nefertiti had no doubts for a while. She married to Egypt at the age of 15, killed the older pharaoh, and then married the new pharaoh. When she gave birth to her eldest daughter, Meritmon, she was already 20 years old.The first two pregnancies went well, but it happened that after several years, Akennamei had a hard time giving birth, and it was difficult to get out of bed and walk for several months.If Akenami suffers from this hardship now, it is also the cycle of heaven.She only hoped that since she had suffered so much, she would definitely give birth to a son. When Nefertiti looked at Akenami in her infancy, only she understood the disappointment and resentment that she had suffered so much but couldn't get her wish in the end.

Ramses was not embarrassed, and on his return journey, he was warmly sent off by the people of Thebes. Because the Pharaoh did not appear, all the frenzy caused by the seven heads hanging from the gate of the Sphinx had to be poured here. On the body of a handsome general who shared his exploits.Ramses boarded the boat with great difficulty, and his body was covered with lotus and cornflower petals thrown by the girls. Before he was prepared, he was kissed several times on his face, and his loincloth was pulled crookedly.

He was unbalanced when he thought of the couple who had nothing to do in Memphis, you and me.

In fact, Akenami and Senasa are not really idle. Anubis, who sent Akenami and Nifanara back to Thebes earlier, has returned to his life. He brought back a strange information.The last time it was because the pharaoh was away on an expedition, but this time the pharaoh stayed with the imperial concubine every day, so it was not easy to hide from this majesty. Anubis said that the spice caravans traveling to and from the Red Sea were not attacked, but they were always on the road. When they were stationed at night, they were harassed and driven away. Although businessmen traveled to various countries for profit, it was also very important to save their lives. Naturally, no one dared to insist.

Therefore, the spice merchants had no choice but to temporarily abandon this trade route and resell the spices in large quantities to West Asia at a slightly lower price. This is why Sai Nasha seized a large amount of frankincense in a small city-state.Buying it at a low price and reselling it to Xitai, which has not received the news, is also an income.

Senasa stared at Anubis' jackal-headed mask, suppressed his curiosity about the man's appearance, and asked matter-of-factly, "It's not for money or profit, but to expel the spice merchants. Why?"

Akenami shook her head incomprehensibly. As a member of the Egyptian royal family, she knew very well that there was nothing else there.The commercial road from the Nile River to the Red Sea was actually a tributary of the Nile River thousands of years ago, and it was dug by the pharaoh at that time. A series of lakes, every time the Nile River floods, the Tumitla Wadi can be sailed by boats, and the surrounding river is a swampy area no less than a delta.

However, thousands of years have passed, and the waterway of the Nile River has changed. Gradually, even in the flood season, this dry river has not been injected with a drop of river water. Unauthorized excavation is likely to cause seawater backflow because the level of the Red Sea is higher than that of the Nile River. River transport was gradually abolished.The spice merchants who came and went changed to camels at the port and took the land route, which has not been affected for thousands of years.

It is such a desolate business road, Akenami really can't figure out how profitable it is.

After hearing Akennamei's analysis, Sai Nasha had a clue, at least one thing is certain, since someone chose to attack in such a desolate place, the intention must be to not want to be prying.Then the spice merchants naturally became a thorn in their side and were expelled and harassed. Since these people did not kill people, they just didn't want to make things big. There must be some secrets behind them.

Anubis is only responsible for reporting his own investigation results, and it is not within his scope to find out the cause: "I walked along the valley area, and found that people made marks at intervals. I dug in the dark I opened a sign and found that it was just a storage point, similar to a cellar, storing dry food to satisfy the hunger and cloth to keep out the cold and other insignificant things. No reason to do it."

"Since you can't figure it out, let the instigator give us the answer." Sai Nasha won't be troubled by this, he is most concerned about the successor and the construction of the new capital: "I will send capable people to watch the dry river At both ends, if there is any change in anyone in Egypt, I will know immediately. It is too tiring to ponder people's minds, it is better to wait for the conspirators to show their feet, otherwise the big things will be missed."

After listening to Anubis' report, Akenami returned to the room to rest because of lack of energy.Senasa and Anubis looked at each other, and then Pharaoh asked, "What is your origin?"

Anubis was silent for a while and said: "I am just an orphan, and I was fortunate to be chosen to serve the royal family."

"Come forward," Senasa was a little apprehensive. If there was nothing magical about Anubis's background, then why would he be chosen to follow Akenami, perhaps even Tutan? Camon's side?Although he is good at handling affairs, Sai Nasha feels that there is no shortage of such people around him: "Take off your mask."

Anubis' hands trembled, but he didn't move.

Sai Nasha felt bored, and didn't pursue the other party's rudeness, so he let him go down.

Not long after, Ramses returned from Thebes and reported all the movements to Senasa. As expected, the empress dowager and the others obviously did not suspect the pharaoh's motives. In their ideas, no one It would be outrageous that Pharaoh would actually leave the holy city of Thebes in Amun.But the heirs in the concubine's belly are also very important. The pharaoh valued the concubine and wanted to wait until the concubine gave birth safely. This reason is very reasonable.Of the two pharaohs before and after, which one didn't have a deep admiration for a beauty like Akennamei?

Ramses folded his arms and asked, "So it's Memphis?"

"Of course not." Senasa signaled Sidhaler to bring wine to the two: "I know Memphis is your hometown, but don't be unhappy, if it is to create a second Thebes, Why should I have to leave Thebes?"

Ramses remained silent. He knew that what Senasa said was right. If he really wanted to fight against the temple, the pharaoh must be impartial. The desert city also openly advocated monotheistic worship and confrontation with the ancient Egyptian religions. Although the tough measures achieved temporary results, when the pharaoh died, all the efforts of 20 years were wiped out.

He tentatively asked, "Is it really Fayoum? It used to be just a harem."

"It's nothing bad. I don't plan to build a new palace, and Fayoum itself is an oasis, and it is connected to a tributary of the Nile River. The location is ideal." Sai Nasha seems to have already made a decision: "And it is close to the delta, Nubia has nothing to fear, Egypt's future lies in West Asia and the sea."

Ramses knew that what Senasa said was right, the tributary of the Nile called the "Water of Ray", Fayoum can easily go to any place in Egypt, which is better than the "Sun City" in Almana It has increased a hundred times.On the opposite bank of Fayoum, Avaris is at the extreme left of the "Road of Horus", which is a shortcut through the Sinai Peninsula to Syria-Palestine.

"You're not choosing a new capital, you're choosing a strategically important location." Ramses took the wine glass from Sid Halle and said while looking at the map.

"As a warrior, you should all understand my choice." Sai Nasha pointed to the map: "There are canals extending out of Fayoum, which can be connected with the big lakes of the Ai Canyon through the 'Water of Rui'. In case of emergency, use boats, we Fort Siler and frontier forts can be reached in no time. I will fortify the eastern part of the delta, and I don't want to appear completely distrustful of Homheb, so Thebes and Nubia to the south can be given to him. "

Ramses raised his head, things will not be as he thought, will they?

"Ramses, I want to appoint Homeheb and you to be the Visils of Upper and Lower Egypt respectively." Senasa looked at Ramses with a smile: "As long as there is unity, there must be no division, but there must be a suitable confrontation." After all, the empress dowager is still alive, and Thebes still enjoys a transcendent status, so we have to take it step by step."

The author has something to say: In the Fayoum Oasis, there is also a ruins of the harem of Akenami's grandmother, Princess Taiyi.But it is a pity that it is now a military restricted area, and countless cement fortifications have been poured on the site, which is completely abandoned.

The last word is to be close to the sea. In fact, the location of Thebes is not very ideal. Fayoum said that there are 2 places, very close to the delta.

☆、Chapter 107

"Visil?" Akennamei walked into the room with her increasingly swollen belly under the support of Ampsu, and looked at Senasa puzzledly: "You want to set up Visil? And two? "

As a member of the royal family, Akenami understood the special meaning Visil represented.This position originated from the Old Kingdom more than 1000 years ago, and it flourished in the era of Pharaoh Khufu who built the Great Pyramid of Giza during the Fourth Dynasty.Because the pharaoh's personal energy is limited, in order to share the power with talented people as much as possible without dividing up the power, Pharaoh Khufu appointed all his sons as Visils, who are in charge of administration, justice, economy, temples, etc. affairs, and was also responsible for serving as the supreme judge of the secular court at the court.

This is the peak of Visil's power, or the peak of the elder's power. In the late Old Kingdom and even the Middle Kingdom, Visil's power gradually shifted from the royal family to the hands of outstanding nobles.Therefore, the word Visil not only represents supreme power, but may also be extended to mean the son of the pharaoh or the only friend of the pharaoh. It is an extremely outstanding and far-reaching position.

However, in the era in which Akhinamei lived, Vizier had almost disappeared, and the pharaoh's power was carried out by nine high-ranking ministers on his behalf, and the division of power was more thorough.However, since the founding pharaoh was Ahmose, the liberator who expelled the invaders from the Hyksos, and Thutmose III was the ruler of the Near East with a powerful army, the power of the soldiers gradually began to dominate all over political power.

Even Ayi, the former powerful minister and prime minister, is only equal to Homeheb. His real strength to suppress Homeheb lies in his qualifications and connections, otherwise Homeheb would not give up so easily.

If it weren't for Sai Nasha being a good fighter in war, I'm afraid he wouldn't be able to easily convince Ramses and Sai Nasha.At that time, Akenami was desperate and wrote to Supiluli Uma I asking for a prince to marry him. Now it seems that writing the letter to the people of Xitai was really correct. Egypt has carved out a world of its own.

Seeing Akenami appearing suddenly, Sai Nasha knew that she was probably in good spirits after taking a nap, so she stepped down from the gold-covered ebony throne with a smile on her face, and carefully helped her up.Ramses saw the pharaoh who was still confident and eloquent just now with a courteous and flattering smile on his face, and suddenly felt that he couldn't look directly at Senasa's face.Senasa is almost a pharaoh beyond reproach, if not too obsessed with beauty.

Ramses disdained to curry favor with women, especially those women who depended on him to provide for him and reproduce for him. This is a woman's bounden duty. I really don't understand that Pharaoh would look up to him.

Akenami's hair has grown a little longer, and it hangs shinyly on her curvy shoulders.Because Montale advised her not to use fragrances, she's been wearing less of her smoked wigs these days.The figure of the whole person is not obviously plump, but Senasa usually knows that she is gaining flesh through kneading and kneading. Because Meng Dali took good care of her, she looks very good, like a bright flower that is about to bud. flowers.

Isn't childbirth a transformation of a woman?

The maturing little woman is dressed in a loose, soft linen gown, adorned only by a gorgeous belt.This is a congratulatory gift from the priest of the Hathor Temple to the concubine. It is so exquisite that it uses gold, silver, bright chalcedony, amethyst, lapis lazuli, Libyan feldspar and other materials that can be seen with the eyes. glass and more.The waist buttons are two natural hollow shells carved in silver and platinum as a tribute from Lydia, because the Egyptians believed that the shells were similar to the female reproductive organs and could protect pregnant women.

There are also two fish-shaped amulets hanging from the belt, representing the gift of the God of the Nile. A small statue of the God of Longevity is inlaid at the joint of the belt, and the statue is holding a palm branch in its hand, showing every detail.Because of the bulge of Akenna's belly, the belt was tied high on the lower edge of the chest, making it even more plump and gorgeous. Ramses sneered in his heart, seeing the virtue of a beloved wife like Pharaoh, it was no wonder.

He felt a little regretful. For a man, he really wanted to know the beauty of the peerless beauty.As soon as the thought came up, I suppressed it again. Except for this one in front of me, how could it be easy to meet a peerless beauty?

I only heard Senasa explaining to Akennamei: "In this expedition to West Asia, Homeheb gave his full support regardless of the previous suspicions, and the entire march almost relied on Ramses' dispatch. The credit of the two is so great, I must reward accordingly."

The two are currently evenly matched, and Ramses is a rising star. In time, he will definitely surpass Homeheb. Even if the rebellion is impossible, she carefully suggested: "Visir must be the pharaoh's closest relative, or the pharaoh's closest friend." She looked at Ramses in embarrassment, and still persuaded: "Because Visir Er's power is too great, several generations of pharaohs have no longer set up this position, and Ramses is still the Minister of Foreign Affairs, since his wish is to serve in the army, you can additionally grant him the title of general."

Sai Nasha patted Akenami on the shoulder, indicating that she was concerned, but she was a bit cautious.

Since Sai Nasha does not intend to return to Thebes, Egypt now must have two Visils, one in Upper Egypt and one in Upper Egypt, so that they can restrain each other so that they can serve Pharaoh better. Muses all have the strength of the army, and this is the real match, and if any of them are replaced, they will not be evenly matched.

Sai Nasha is not afraid of his subordinates being full-fledged. Only when they are strong can they fulfill their orders better. If they want to cut off their wings because of fear, it is actually the incompetence of the ruler, Sai Nasha said: "Ah Kenami, it's good to be careful, but since I planned to go to the battlefield with Ramses, I never thought of doubting him. If I had such doubts, I would not have recruited him from the beginning .”

This was said in a fair and aboveboard manner, Ramses remained calm on the surface, but he was very surprised and sighed in his heart.He understood the various difficulties of Sai Nasha, a foreigner, and because of this, Ramses felt even more deeply for his bold trust.

But this is enough to stop, and there is no point in talking about it, Ramses interrupted: "I am very grateful for your majesty's reward, but it is also a great contribution for the Southern Wing Army of Sidhale to arrive in time. Yes." He coughed and looked at the very nervous young man in front of him: "It's time to award him the 'Gold Fly Medal', Nefert is already pregnant..."

Although it's okay to have a big belly, and no one dared to gossip in front of Ramses, Ramses always dislikes embarrassment, Saina Shaha laughed and said: "No problem, the ceremony of rewarding meritorious officers and soldiers will be very soon. It will be held soon, and I also promised at that time that I will bear the dowry of your sisters, and I can give Sid Halle an additional settling allowance."

Senasa felt that she was rarely happy. Getting married and having children and really settling down in Egypt was the only way to take root. Men also need a sense of security.Of course, he also needs a wife like Akennamei, so that he can have the motivation to work hard.He knew that feelings were one thing, but the truth of the world was another. The most beautiful women always belonged to the most powerful men, and he and Akenami were not exempt.Once his throne is unstable, he may lose his wife and even his children.

Is there really no change in Thebes?He couldn't figure it out, just like he couldn't figure out why someone would take the risk of assassinating Tutankhamun at that time. This weak pharaoh might die in a few years.Unless Akenami is also counted, that person wants to kill the two siblings in one go.

It's a pity that he miscalculated, Akenami didn't die, not only didn't die, but also begged him from his father.

Ramses saw Senasa's doubts, so he said something that made him worry: "I don't know if I am supercilious. The Queen Mother Nefertiti is very happy, but it is not for the sake of the new life. Son." He glanced at Sai Nasha: "She probably thinks that the princess will be able to do something to you after giving birth to a child. When Tutankhamunfa was young, the queen mother held great power. She must miss that very much." For a while."

"Holmheb must be furious," Akenna said with a sigh: "Meritemon doesn't know what to do? It's just that their eldest son is really spoiled..."

Ramses nodded, and then added: "There is also the elder of the gate hall, I think he is not very proud, how should I put it, he is a bit gloomy, but maybe I am too sensitive, this person has no reason ah……"

Sai Nasha gestured to Akennamei with his eyes, and after getting permission, he said that Tutankhamun's promotion of Yergubai as the clerical director was to investigate the cause of the death of the second princess Marquette, because Yael Gubai is a Syrian, and he made the empress dowager very unhappy back then, but Yargubai did a good job, and later he was promoted to the gate hall pharaoh and he was also very competent. There has been no particular progress on the mission of Marquette's death.

Akenami couldn't help persuading him: "He is the candidate that Tutankhamun personally chose, and there are thousands of files in Egypt, and we can't openly ask for help. We have to be patient."

In this case, the imperial concubine didn't really believe it. After all, she was the last minister of the former pharaoh, and emotionally speaking, Ramthus could understand it.But men and women are different. Ramses' first reaction was that the Syrian had a different heart. For him, no preconceived notions would influence his judgment.Ramses wisely didn't answer, but went to see Senasa.

Of course Sai Nasha would not use this kind of thing to hurt Akenna, although he was not very happy, but if it is proved that Tutankhamun died because of his own ignorance, Sa Na Sha But he didn't dare to take this risk to irritate Akennamei, so he evaded the important thing and said lightly: "No matter what his purpose is, since there is no obvious conspiracy, he will put it aside for the time being. As for the matter of the second princess, everyone must come forward when the concubine gives birth. Those who came to congratulate, it will not be too late to ask."

But he thought that Yargubai would definitely not give any results.

At the same time, in the West Terrace, there is still about half a year before Venus rises again, but Kailu is entangled in his heart when he looks at the credentials from Greece on the table.There are not many things that can make this wise and powerful Emperor Xitai sad. One is because of his favorite Xili, and the other is because of the most hated Empress Dowager Nakiya.

Now he was about to face a choice again. In his blood was the desire to conquer Supiluliuma I, and he also had the gentleness of his biological mother, Princess Cindy.Now that an agreement has been signed with Egypt on the West Asia issue, it is obvious that the pace of westward advance must be stopped during his lifetime.Going south to seize the island of Cyprus will only cause a sea conflict with Egypt. What's more, the strength of the Xitai navy is very much open to question. To put it bluntly, it is almost none.

Then the credentials of Greece from the east are worth considering. Every emperor hopes that he has at least one battle that will go down in history.But fighting would disrupt his plans, what if it was too late to send Xili back to her country?

Xili learned the content of the letter of credence from Irbonne. It turned out that Greece had assembled tens of thousands of coalition forces and thousands of warships to attack the neighboring country Troy on the eastern coast of Xitai.For some reason, she always felt that the name Troy was very familiar to her. It wasn't until the maids around her started gossiping with enthusiasm that she suddenly realized that it was that Troy.

Irbonne looked at her rare way of talking to herself and said in surprise: "Miss Xili, do you have any suggestions? War is not a trivial matter, and you will go home in half a year..."

Xi Li grabbed the cloak and said, "I'm going to see His Majesty the Emperor," she muttered confidently, "Xitai and Greece will join forces and we will win. I also want to see how beautiful that peerless beauty Helen is. Is Concubine Akenna Mei still a beautiful person?"

The author has something to say: For the sake of blood, tell Helen’s story 100 years in advance. It is generally believed that the Trojan War took place during the period of Ramesses II, and Xitai also participated in the war. Clay tablets unearthed at the Hattusas site near Ankara There are records of this city-state and battles.But contrary to what we know, it has nothing to do with Helen, it's just that Greece and Western Taiwan can't get used to Troy, who is lying on the hub of the trade route and collecting protection fees.

Therefore, it is always an excuse to fight for women.

Regarding Vizier, it is estimated that many girls have watched the movie "The Return of the Mummy".This story can be summarized as: a Visil Imerton of the fourth dynasty robbed the princess of the eighteenth dynasty of the nineteenth dynasty Pharaoh Seti I (Anck-Su-Namun, translated as Ansuna in the mummy) , the age of the relationship between the characters is simply a mess...

So don’t talk about the textual research with Hollywood, but Ansuna in it is very beautiful, played by a Mexican girl
