[Egyptian doujinshi] The legend of flattery and misfortune

Ramses and the others followed the laughter and looked over. Bakket blushed and turned aside embarrassingly.

Akennamei called Ampsu to pack the fruits, and personally took a cloth towel to wipe her sister's hands. In her eyes, Bakketmon was just a child. Senasa pointed to the blue sky and the golden field road outside. : "Backett Meng is young, and it is a bit boring for her to listen to us talk about these political affairs here while the weather is good."

The pharaoh's thoughtfulness is not only reflected in his thinking about Akenami all the time, but also in his willingness to take care of Akenami's relatives. Akenami was thinking about how to speak, but Sai Nasha fell She was naturally happy to bring it up directly: "Well, during the period of Bucketmont's stay, I will ask His Majesty for a leave of absence and ignore government affairs."

Senasa watched them leave hand in hand with a full smile. From the back, the two sisters looked more alike, but Ba Kemeng was too young and couldn't bear his temper to trot, while Akenamei walked slowly, walking outside the hall. She had to take a sedan chair, but she was extremely beautiful in Sai Nasha's eyes at the moment with her clumsy curves. Soon Sai Nasha would have an Akenami as the happiest proof of his wife.

Prime Minister Haza looked at Pharaoh, then at Visil, and asked in a low voice, "So, should the Karnak Temple be repaired?"

He started his career by relying on Akenna, but his own qualifications were very limited, so when Senasa announced that Homheb and Ramses were listed as Visils of Upper and Lower Egypt, he was almost completely emptied.Haza is a self-aware person, he only hopes to die in the position of prime minister, and the pharaoh will pay him a generous salary in return for his work. As for the next prime minister, he does not have to worry about someone replacing him at all, because there will be no more There is.

Repairs needed money, so Pharaoh went to see the two viziers, because Egypt was originally formed by the union of the upper and lower regions, and many institutions were inherently separated.For example, the White Double House, the office under the jurisdiction of the Minister of Finance, refers to the Treasury of Upper Egypt and the Treasury of Lower Egypt. Now it is only necessary for the viziers to manage it separately. If it is a unified allocation, let the Minister of Finance decide.

Homeheb answered first: "Upper Egypt's finances are tight, and the treasury has always supported the construction of the temple, which is a huge expenditure every year. What's more, the burning of the temple this time is entirely due to the scandal of the priests themselves. , the temple comes with a large amount of assets, so they should be in charge of the harem."

After Homeheb said everything, Ramses made an excuse at random: "Lower Egypt is too far away from the Temple of Karnak."

Homeheb glared at him, but Ramses pretended to see it.

In short, the entire court from top to bottom does not want to pay for the temple that is so rich and so poor, Senasa thought for a while and said: "The empress dowager wants cedar wood, Fayoum is also a big construction site now, After my expedition to West Asia, I also shipped some back from the port of Bibros. If the empress dowager wants it, I can provide it to her, but she has to help us talk about the refusal to lend a helping hand to the temple.”

This is an excellent idea, not to mention that the high priest Norman is seriously injured and lying in bed at the moment, unable to take care of himself, and asking for money will only open his mouth when he is in good health.Now that there was such a big scandal, the high priest himself was old and disabled. After Homeheb captured several middle-aged priests who were suspects, he tortured them severely, and even after they were released, they were hardly human.

The backbone of the anti-imperial power in the Karnak Temple seemed to be destroyed overnight.

Nifanara was startled when she heard that, since this pharaoh came to Egypt, his attitude towards the temple has always been friendly. Even if the priests of Amun in Karnak put on a haughty face, he seldom paid attention to it.Even more power was given to them, and the lost and recovered gold was delivered together.Unexpectedly, the kindness of Pharaoh became the root of the disaster, and within a year, the temple was severely damaged.

This time, she was entrusted by the Empress Dowager as a highly respected priest candidate to bless the newborn. Akennamei has an old relationship with her, so this journey is naturally worth looking forward to.But it is clear that the pharaoh's methods against the temple were premeditated, and Homeheb actually let those suspects go back. With Norman's current situation, it is even more difficult to suppress them. These people will only get worse, maybe the next day When he woke up, Kanak had really been burned to nothing but ruins by the raging fire of power struggle.

As a priest of Luxor, Nifanara made up her mind to be more cautious in her words and deeds under the rule of Senasa.

Sure enough, Sai Nasha looked at her: "I will leave it to Nifanara to persuade the empress dowager. You have a good relationship with the royal family, and you are a priest, so it is convenient for communication between the two parties. Regarding the conditions promised to the empress dowager, I promise to be very generous, as far as I know, the Empress Dowager will not make things difficult for you."

Nifanara quickly said yes.

Akenami took Bakketmon to the direction of the pier. On the passageway of the palace entering and exiting the pier, there is a three-story lapis lazuli paddling pool, a pavilion built on a high place to shelter from the wind, and a row of pruning cones. The Nile-shaped bushes are close to the Nile River, and there are double rows of palm trees along the river, with a shady path interspersed among them, and several flower beds mainly composed of cornflowers and mandrakes are scattered among them.

There is a building by the river, which is a production workshop and a clerical temple based on the Pharaoh Victory and Triumph Temple of Dothmose. There are many children in the temple, ranging from three to four years old to 15 years old.They looked at the Nile River far away during the break between classes, and saw the princess wearing a lotus crown surrounded by female officials and a young girl who was about to go on a boat. The well-informed child proudly said: "I know, that girl is the youngest sister of the imperial concubine, Princess Baketmont."

Everyone was commotion, didn't it mean that this princess and that imperial concubine might look alike, that is to say, Bakketmon is also very beautiful.

The necks of the crowd stretched out longer, Bakketmon heard the noise from a distance and looked over, Akenami pointed her out and said: "Those are the children selected from the city-states that were surrendered or defeated by the Pharaoh on his expedition to West Asia. Studying and living in Egypt, when their motherland needs an heir, they will take the gifts of Egypt and inherit the power of their parents with gratitude."

These children are carefully selected, Senasa will not want some stupid puppets, the criterion for his selection is to be smart and aware of current affairs.If there is someone with particularly outstanding qualifications, Akenami has the intention of keeping him for Bucket to pick and choose.

Adult men look at beauties differently than half-grown children. Half-grown children look more at the excitement, and when the excitement comes, they will make booing, which Bakketmon finds disgusting.On the other hand, on the journey to Egypt, there was always a pair of eyes of different colors that appeared and disappeared from time to time watching his every move. Although it was probably just that person's duty to protect himself, Bakkettmeng thought about it at this moment. When I got up, my cheeks felt a little hot.

Fortunately, the river wind blew away the sudden discomfort.

After the cruise ship leaves the Fayoum Oasis, it enters the Nile Valley, where all the farmland is sandwiched between the deserts on both banks.The closer to the delta, the more the Nile River divides into large and small tributaries to provide water for cities, villages, and farmland.In the blue sky and clear water, there are thousands of birds flying back and forth.There were originally 10,000+ residents here, and the Pharaoh also planned to build several temples to worship the gods Amon, Ra, Ptah, the god of the storm, Seto, the goddess of medicine, Sekeme, and the goddess Asta from Asia. Germany.

Sai Nasha's point of view is that there are not too many temples in Fayoum City, but there are too few temples, and the most feared is only one.There are four military camps in the city, and the port on the south side is surrounded by warehouses and handicraft workshops.As for the city center, in addition to the palace, there are residences of nobles and high-ranking officials, as well as a large lake for people's leisure and entertainment.

Suddenly Bakketmon shouted excitedly. It turned out that there were several hunters in front of him signaling the boats on the river to detour. They were chasing a hippopotamus that damaged crops.The injured hippopotamus has just dived into the water and is likely to jump up from the bottom at any time. Even a slightly larger boat will be knocked over by this ferocious animal.The cruise ship then traveled northeast along the Ray River, the easternmost tributary of the Nile.When you are about to approach Bubastis, the city of the goddess Bastet, which is symbolized by cats, you will continue to head towards the Great Lakes along Vatitumila.

The accompanying guard, Sid Haller, suddenly grabbed the tail of a small crocodile from the muddy water. The crocodile was about to open its mouth, but Sid Haller threw it far away.Bucketmont knew what the riverside residents called "big fish," which would kill livestock that came to drink by surprise.The crocodile was still very small, but it made Bakketmeng scream in fright. Although Bakketmeng screamed, he still leaned over to look at it, and Akenami had to stop him.Sid Haller smiled happily. He has completely adapted to the life of the Egyptians by the river.

People all over Egypt will drop thousands of statues in the river representing the fertile power of the Nile, shaped like a man with drooping breasts. Papyrus bushes, hands holding trays full of food.Every family keeps a glazed ceramic gourd filled with river water that symbolizes a good harvest.

Bakketmon sighed: "I hope this year's water rise can also reach the ideal height."

The cruise ship of the two turned back near the mouth of the delta, and Akenami had no idea that an acquaintance was not far away from her.Knowing that it was the imperial concubine who was going on a trip, the leading ship was accompanied by a protective ship, and the civilians stopped on the river bank to watch.Including some foreigners who were waiting to enter Egypt at the checkpoint at the entrance of the sea, and one of them was a petite woman in a cloak who didn't even blink her eyes.

Joshua, Ramses's former adjutant, has taken over as the captain of the Delta Defense Squad. Because the nobleman is traveling, he also has to take on the task of guarding.At the moment, he is leading the troops to patrol the shore, focusing on observing the foreigners who want to enter the country.Among the waiting crowd, he seemed to catch a glimpse of a familiar figure from behind. Just as he was about to step forward to take a closer look, that person disappeared into the crowd.

Maybe I was overthinking, there are so many people with similar backs in the world, and Joshua just felt familiar, and couldn't remember who it was.

A sudden commotion in the crowd diverted Joshua's attention from flocks of quail flying across the fields and swooping down on the rice.Farmers have long been wary of such robbers falling from the sky. They have already set up a dense net and got up and waved the cloth strips. The frightened birds will throw themselves into the net in large numbers.

Roasted partridge is a delicacy in Egypt. Akenami felt a little greedy, so he asked Ampsu to go ashore to pay, and told the farmers to send the best and fattest partridge to the palace. Even better if it lasts for a few days.

At this time, Xili successfully obtained the permission to enter Egypt. Hearing from the Greek businessmen, Helen and Paris probably entered Heracles' Temple of the Alien to seek refuge, but the priest of the temple regretfully told The two of them, Xi Li, disappeared strangely, and even threw their bags in the temple. Naturally, he would not say that he took all the remaining belongings for himself.

Moreover, he firmly denied the possibility of someone entering the temple to arrest people, which is not allowed by the gods of Egypt.

Xili immediately understood what was happening. The temple said that no one broke in and arrested people, but someone must have designed a scheme to lure them out.Coincidentally, the Temple of Hercules is almost directly facing the palace building under construction on the opposite side of the river.There is this possibility to find Helen and Paris, this motive to catch them and this ability to catch them, Xili thinks that there is no other possibility except Senasa.

She might need to sneak into the palace to investigate, Xili was thinking, and her eyes suddenly fell on the farmer who was driving his donkey and waiting to cross the river, and they were walking with them all the way to the palace to send partridges.

The author has something to say: Princess Bucketmont is expected by everyone, well, Ramses, you can be your brother-in-law

Akenna Mei's mouth is hungry, because the author himself is a foodie, haha... In the past, when the teacher said the name of the brand partridge when I was studying, I was drooling thinking about roasted partridge
