[Egyptian doujinshi] The legend of flattery and misfortune

In the 30th year of the reign of Pharaoh Thutmose V, Sai Nasha became a rare pharaoh in Egyptian history who held a regeneration ceremony. He will enter the temple that is rarely visited by people and regain the power and strength of his youth. courage.

The rebirth ceremony will be carried out in the holy city of Abydos, where the pharaohs of the first dynasty of the Old Kingdom are buried, and it is the region of the god of death Osiris.In fact, there is no rebirth ceremony, and people also say that old age should be strong. Not long ago, he led three infantry regiments and two chariots to tour West Asia. It is said that he can eat a bun, a bowl of dried fish oatmeal, and stewed pigeon for a meal on the march. One quail each, two lamb kidneys marinated in wine, a steak roasted with onions, some figs, and a cheese.

Princess Akenami took good care of the pharaoh's diet and daily life. As long as the appetite remained the same, it meant that he was still in good health.But only the wife knew that her husband suffered from old injuries after the age of 40, and the elbow that had undergone surgery gradually became sore frequently.When going on a long journey, the chief physician Montali must prepare a potion boiled from willow bark for the pharaoh as a special painkiller.

Through this successful tour, Sai Nasha has once again improved her reputation and is ready for the rebirth ceremony.On the eve of the 1000th anniversary of his enthronement, the pharaoh and his concubine came to Abydos in central Egypt, where there was a secret Heliopolis Hall of Longevity, where only a few pharaohs had been here for more than 30 years.On the walls around the temple, there are "Jinyu Pagoda Texts" written by ancient sages, revealing the secret of soul regeneration. Outsiders and pharaohs who have been on the throne for less than [-] years are not eligible to enter.

And in the center of a courtyard in the depths of the temple, there is a small hill, which is the mummy of the first pharaoh of Egypt and the god of death Osiris in mythology, and the most secret gathering place of life energy.Legend has it that he was killed by his own brother and resurrected because of his wife's prayer, his complexion is always ashen from death.

The 50-year-old Senasa will accept the test of the rebirth ceremony here. Akennamei, who accompanied him all the way, cannot accompany him this time. Except for the pharaoh and priests, no one is qualified to stay here.

For 30 years, they rarely separated except Sai Nasha's expedition.And since almost 30 years ago, Sai Nasha rarely needed to go out, and his achievements were not inferior to any pharaoh of the [-]th Dynasty, including Ahmos the liberator and Sai Nasha's idol picture when he was young. Termes III.Seeing that Akenna was hesitant to speak, Senasa joked with his wife in this solemn place: "Osiris was missing a piece of his body when he was resurrected, and I promise I will not be missing anything."

The missing part of Osiris is a symbol of a man. Akenami couldn't help but be amused. In Sena's eyes, the smile was as clear as yesterday, and Akenami held his hand. Hand said: "I'll wait for you to come back in Abydos City."

The rebirth ceremony was also not difficult for Sai Nasha. Three days later, the pharaoh took off the white robe he wore for bathing and burning incense, and put on a simple loincloth of the kings in the ancient kingdom. any accessories.The time has come to test whether the current pharaoh has been blessed by the gods, whether he has the ability to rule upper and lower Egypt, and ascend to heaven and earth.

Sai Nasha is holding a horizontal ax made of divine iron, which means to let the mummy speak in the regeneration ceremony. He will listen to the order and take out the will of the god from the coffin of the mummy of Osiris, which is equivalent to grasping the direction guide. Oars, indicating that he has an accurate judgment on Egypt's future decision-making.Afterwards, he put the lapis lazuli golden beetle amulet, the golden mask and necklace of Chiapus on the mummy, covered the mummy with clove grease, and covered it with a piece of sheepskin to show that he had set foot on the road to the kingdom of immortality.

Then Sai Nasha swaggered forward and was guided by the priest to pace back and forth in the large courtyard symbolizing the land of Egypt.In this way, there are four rounds in total. After the king of Lower Egypt played by the priest has traveled around in all directions, the king of Upper Egypt will go around four times.Because of the footprints of the Pharaoh, he was affirmed as the representative of the rule of the gods in Egypt, and the provinces in the upper and lower regions were completely reborn due to the rebirth of the Pharaoh.Through Sai Nasha, all the pharaohs who passed away will be resurrected again, and Egypt will become a green country where gods are everywhere.

The rebirth ceremony was successfully completed, and Senasa received the power to continue ruling Egypt. He will ascend the throne for the second time, just like the first time, and the whole country celebrates.Nubia presented a throne decorated with twenty golden lion heads on the base, and sent a thousand brave warriors to celebrate the pharaoh's regaining the power of governing the country.The land of this pharaoh stretched across the oceans, as far as the sky, and the Nile River had a long history, and the grain of the earth was more abundant than the grains of sand on the banks of the river.Sai Nasha sits on the sedan chair carried by the ministers of Upper and Lower Egypt, patrols the four directions, and the regime will never decline.

However, just when Akenami was rejoicing that everything was perfect, war suddenly ignited on the border.The only daughter of the pharaohs, Princess Alinna, and Visil's son Seti gave birth to two sons and two daughters. The eldest son Harem died young, and the youngest son Miamun was able to subdue a bull when he was 12 years old. Never met a relative from my father's side for most of my life.The first time she had a clear understanding of them was because the people from Xitai were eager to move at the border.

The civil war in Xitai lasted for two years, and finally the former emperor's concubine defeated his younger uncle and became Mursili III.At that time, due to the legacy of the war, the young Xitai Emperor needed to convince everyone that he was qualified to sit on the throne. He also hoped that he could persuade the governor of Mitanni and his grandfather's brother Xiuda to submit to him, so he fixed his eyes on to Egypt.

Princess Ishtar loved her eldest son's concubine Doi very much during her lifetime, and even the young Mursili III was also doted on.It is a pity that this well-known imperial concubine died at the age of 40, and Emperor Mursili II followed closely. If they could live longer, perhaps the civil war in Xitai would not have happened.But when Xi Li mentioned the former fourth prince Senasa who married into Egypt, what appeared in Mursili III's mind was a romantic, unrestrained, gentle and amiable image. He was lucky to be favored by the Egyptian princess. Syr Ramthus can be relied on, but they are old.

The 15-year-old little emperor believed that his grandfather's brother was just lucky, so there was no reason why Egypt should not move.After the death of Mursili II, Xitai had waited too long for an opportunity. They didn't have any affection for Senasa, and the Senasa in Xili's memory seemed to give them some kind of illusion.

From the beginning of his ascension to the throne, he began to divide the border city-states, using money, women, and coercion, but only three city-states dared to open the city gates to welcome the envoys of Emperor Xitai.Faced with the pressure of domestic factional struggles, Mursili III had to send troops to take down Kadesh, and pointed his sword at Megiddo, who became famous in the first battle of Senasa. The next step was to take down the trade hub between Egypt and Mesopotamia.

Egypt’s response was to behead the protons sent to Egypt by the three surrendered city-states, and send them to the city lord and the emperor of Xitai. Sai Nasha knew that Kailu’s grandson wanted to use the war with Egypt to divert the domestic conflicts of Xitai, but This little bastard thought that he was really as outstanding as Kairou because he was titled Mursili III, but he made a wrong idea.

Sai Nasha intends to conquest himself. After all, the lifeless little bastard has the same blood as his, so he wants to kill him with his own hands.Ramses remained in power in the country, while Seti was taken away. Senasa’s son-in-law has served in the army for more than 20 years. The Euphrates River left two boundary markers marked by the expedition of Pharaoh Thutmose. He is going to witness this legend with his own eyes. In the battlefield, it is possible to leave a third boundary marker in the future.

The Egyptian army is stronger than ever. The short and sturdy Libyans in the west were incorporated into the infantry regiment. The brave Nubian archers shot every shot. After weakening, even Kairu's eldest son, Muwatari I, did not dare to do anything, and was always suppressed by his uncle, whom he had never met.

The royal chariot was drawn by the pharaoh's two steeds, and the great general Seti led five divisions of four thousand soldiers.Under the generals of each division, there are chief and deputy generals and standard bearers.The accompanying [-] chariots were organized into five groups, and the island of Cyprus, which Akenami claimed from Xitai, was rich in copper mines. As the trade route was guaranteed, Assyrian merchants continuously brought tin mines into Egypt. .Adding tin to brass can get a harder bronze, which made Sai Nasha not very afraid of the rough iron cavalry of Xitai. The equipment of Egyptian soldiers included underwear, shirts, bronze armor, copper leggings, helmets, and small double-edged axes. No country can find such a similarly well-equipped team.

After the large group of people passed through the border fortress of Siler, Sai Nasha passed through Canaan and the Mansion of Ammu, where he once asked a shepherd for water.The Egyptian army stationed at a place called "The House of Cedar Valley" near the port of Biblos, and integrated the [-] garrisons who were originally left behind in West Asia and were responsible for the security of entry and exit checkpoints, followed the large army to the north, and then turned northwest into Kadee Stone battlefield.

Seti discovered that the route chosen by the pharaoh had to pass through the vast grasslands, a Lebanese depression, steep and desolate, with crocodiles lurking in the muddy rivers, and black bears, hyenas, wild cats, and wolves in the dark forests.The cedar branches are so dense that the sun can't come in, which makes people almost suffocate.Even though Senasa is 50 years old, his style has never changed. He is not afraid of taking risks, because the danger is directly proportional to the reward. Mursili III did not expect that the old man he despised would choose the most difficult road, use The fastest speed arrived at the city of Kadeshi.

The next day, after a day and a night of rest, the Egyptian army surrounded Kadesh and began their assault.Mursili III is doomed to failure. Even if he does not fight, he will be surrounded to death in the isolated city.

The little emperor felt the whole castle area of ​​Kadesh shake, and there was a terrible deafening sound outside the window.The swarming Egyptian chariots have passed the second moat near the castle, and rushed straight to the defenseless garrison of the Western Taiwan Army.Thousands of infantry followed closely behind the chariot, covering mountains and valleys like locusts passing through.This huge army hid in the forest, spread all over the east and west sides of the castle, and rushed at the Xitai people when they were unsuspecting.And Sai Nasha did not spend all his capital, he still has [-] troops and the West Asian coalition forces on standby.

The number of enemy troops made Mursili III suspect that his math teacher must have taught something wrong, how could such a large number of people come to him silently.

Thousands of Xitai soldiers and [-] chariots were shot and crushed by the dark-skinned Egyptian pioneers, and pushed into the river. The wreckage of chariots and corpses blocked the entire moat.The remaining Xitai people had to flee into the forest, or they would be shot into a hornet's nest by Nubian archers.The Xitai people in the castle and the defeated Xitai people were divided into two steps, waiting for Sai Nasha to defeat them one by one.

Standing on the top of the castle, Mursili III saw his uncle for the first time. Senasa was wearing a blue war crown, wearing a light battle robe, and only a small breastplate.A double-headed duck-shaped lapis lazuli inlaid gold armband on the wrist is particularly conspicuous.There were two quiveres on the pharaoh's chariot, one for feathered arrows, the other for bow mounts and long swords, and now Senasa didn't need them at all.

Even though Emperor Xitai was standing on a high place, he felt like he was falling into an abyss. Pharaoh’s golden brown eyes looked at the trembling Mursili III, and he moved his mouth. The little emperor understood, and Pharaoh told him to get out of the castle. .

He dare not, he is afraid of death.

After three days and nights, the Egyptians paid a certain price of casualties and captured Kadesh. The emperor Xitai was dragged out by the pharaoh's neck like a lamb struggling weakly. He was about the same age as Pharaoh's grandson Miamon. But he got no mercy.Sai Nasha cut off his head and threw it in the sand. Watching the mixed blood seep into the loess, Sai Nasha told the ministers of Xitai that the time for negotiation had come and asked them to find someone who could make the decision. Talk about conditions.

At this time, Akennamei's first letter had just arrived, and she didn't know that the battle was over. In the letter, she said helplessly that Alina was in a hurry because Mi Yameng was gone.When Seti found him, he was grinning and letting the military doctor sew up the wound. He was only 12 years old this year. Senasa felt very relieved, and then gave him a big slap.

Surprisingly, the person sent by Xitai was the Senate Speaker Irbonne. This may be another card of family affection, because there are really few Xitai people who met Sai Nasha.Mursili III poisoned his father's concubine to death after he ascended the throne. The little emperor himself was not yet married, and there was no woman in power in the country. It's time for Bonnie to serve his country.

It was only when Irbonni arrived at the border that he realized that the pharaoh and his two future generations of heirs had come together, Seti was enough to be alone, and Miamun was a newborn calf.Although he had heard about it a long time ago, seeing it with his own eyes made him feel sore.

He is also old, but something is wrong with Kailu and Xili's family education. The eldest son favors the humble concubine, and there is only one bastard.The youngest son was defeated in the civil war with his nephew for the throne, and the whole family was wiped out.The former second prince was weak, leaving behind only an infant boy and died. The third princess Inanna was a woman who couldn't bear the heavy responsibility of Xitai at all.

There is no successor in the west stage, and Irbonne can almost imagine that Empress Dowager Nakiya, who stepped into the coffin with one foot, can wake up with a smile in her dream.

But he is Irbonne, and his ingenuity will never be defeated. He and Sai Nasha have known each other since childhood, and he knows very well that there is no real homeland in his heart. Irbonne kneels in front of everyone Next, imagine yourself leading Najiya's army, kneeling very happily: "Great Pharaoh, please allow me to call you Tsar Saina, Xitai is willing to use the whole country to calm your anger, please return to your homeland and save this country. A country on the brink of shattering!"

It is undeniable that Sai Nasha's heart was moved for a moment. He had been an Egyptian pharaoh for 30 years, and he had reached the peak of power and prestige, and his heirs also had enough ability to take over.

An ambitious man will always be tempted by the unrelated throne, which is still his motherland, and ambition will never have anything to do with age.

Irbonni added more firewood: "Only if you become the monarch of Xitai again, can you bring real peace to the two countries."

This proposal is very constructive. As long as Senasa is in power, Xitai will never be an enemy of Egypt.Egypt will also be scruples about Senasa, and will not start the war lightly. The domestic status quo that has remained unchanged for many years can also be changed. Senasa does not even need to look at Seti's expression to know that he is tempted.

The only thing Senasa cares about is one person: "Irbonni, you don't have to be too happy, this matter can only be facilitated with the consent of the imperial concubine."

Irbonnik couldn't help being proud: "Before I set off, I had already made a plan and sent a letter to Her Royal Highness with a letter of credence. I believe Her Royal Highness knew about it earlier than you."

How dare he... Senasa's fists were clenched and rattled, but soon he calmed down: "Then we just have to wait for the queen's decision...and," Senasa paused intentionally, he knew too well Irbonne's weakness: "My old wound also needs to be treated by the imperial doctor. I wonder if Akenami brought Montalli or her son?"

Irbonne didn't react for a moment, and his tongue fell open.

Senasa patted him on the shoulder: "By the way, you probably don't know that you and Montali have a son."

Miyamon watched curiously as the legendary chairman of the Senate of the West Taiwan, who was extremely intelligent, knelt down on the loess with his knees softened.

When Akenami saw the letter from Irbonne for the first time, she miraculously thought of her little sister, Bucketmon. Of course, she is not young anymore, and Ramses is too old to climb the wall. .Her younger sister has firmly chosen the former between her elder sister and her lover throughout her life, and it is time to repay her.

She didn't tell anyone, but she called Bakketmon alone: ​​"I want you to marry Ramses. Although Seti is young and powerful, but let him wait a few more years to bid farewell to his father, I think he will not object. Arina will support our decision."

Baketmeng wept bitterly, choked up and said, "Sister, are you leaving Egypt?"

"My mission to Egypt has already been completed," Akenami smiled without the slightest reluctance: "The rest of my life belongs to Sai Nasha, and I will follow him wherever I go."

Although Akenami lived in seclusion, she was not inferior to the pharaoh. She arranged the wedding of Ramses and Bakketmon as the elder sister and concubine, and announced that Visil would be the successor of the pharaoh. With the strong support of the governor of Mitanni, Xiuda, regardless of Najiya's objection, Xiuda returned all the rights of the king to Sai Nasha.

Xiuda managed Mitanni very well, giving Sai Nasha an overwhelming advantage when he entered the battered Xitai.Seeing the traces left by the war in his home country with his own eyes in Sai Nasha, he suddenly told Akenami that perhaps it was a good thing that the Empress Dowager Najiya succeeded.

It's just that she did too many bad things, and her magic power backfired, causing Xiuda to have no children.

Akennamei smiled, and beckoned to take the only remaining male heir from Xili's daughter Inanna, the three-year-old child already knew what beauty was, and stayed in Akennamei's arms and refused to let go.Inanna remained silent, and Senasa saw the niece and the child, and knew that they were mediocre.

I just help Xitai survive, once he dies, Xitai will fall apart.

But for Irbonne, this is enough, he is worthy of His Majesty who has been loyal all his life.

Unexpectedly, Meng Dali followed Akennamei to the West Terrace. Taking care of the princess has become her habit, and Meng Dali felt that she would enjoy this responsibility until she died.Egyptian doctors are so precious, and the blessings brought by the imperial concubine are very cherished by the people of Xitai. Compared with the emperor Hattusiris III who beheaded the previous emperor, his Egyptian imperial concubine is more popular with the people.

Irbonni finally met the busy Meng Dali, and Meng Dali quickly removed the eyeballs of the accidentally injured farmer. Irbonni turned pale, and Meng Dali responded with a sneer without any surprise.

"I didn't know that we would meet again one day, if I knew that one day you would settle in West Terrace," Irbonne stammered, "I...I..."

Meng Dali frowned: "You know who I am, and I also know who you are, Lord Irbonne, even if you are a prophet, you won't wait 30 years." She sneered: "What's more As you said, even you, who are extremely smart, have unexpected things."

"..." Irbonne was speechless.

Montali packed her things, turned around and left: "Among the men I know who would wait for a woman for 30 years for no reason, there is probably only His Majesty. Of course, your Majesty in your heart is not the same as mine."

In the woods in the suburbs, the luxuriously dressed chairman of the senate was in tears. When he was at the end of his life, he realized that neither his political ideals nor his love ideals had been realized.

But it doesn't matter, Montali's medical skills are very good, and he can regret it for several years.

The author has something to say: In history, it was Xili's youngest son Shengli. Here, for the sake of the plot, changes have been made, and it can also be regarded as the real ending.Miyamon is the birth name of Ramses II, other names will not be expanded, the Egyptian pharaoh has so many names that he has no friends*^_^*

This is the case with the ancient version. The more modern version will start tomorrow, and the style of painting may... be different.Students who are interested in ancient wars can go to the first and second episodes of the documentary The Story of Man. Thutmose III's Battle of Megiddo is so well filmed. This is the first recorded war in human history. , and even the battle between good and evil in the Bible was named after Megiddo.

Thanks to lumiar for the reminder, I finally found the image that fits the heroine. The green-eyed mermaid Vivien Leigh starred in "Caesar and Cleopatra" in 1945. The skin white and green eyes couldn't be more beautiful~ Actually, I didn't think about it subconsciously when I wrote it It's her, but this one is too glamorous... ORZ
