Return of the Mummy

No matter which country it is, it is very important to see the enthronement of the ruler, especially the enthronement of the Pharaoh in ancient Egypt.

After Akhnaton's death, after his affairs were dealt with, according to Akhnaton's will, the ministers supported the nine-year-old Tutankathon as the new pharaoh, and began to prepare for the pharaoh's succession. matters.

Smenkarui is not without opinions, but some time ago was Akhenaten’s transcendence period, no matter what thoughts he had, he could not act—even if it was usurping the throne, he could not start it during that time, otherwise it would be regarded as Disrespect to the dead, disrespectful behavior to the gods.

However, Tutankatun already knew about Smenkarui's mood.Just because he knew that his elder brother would not let it go, he kept tensing his nerves and prepared for what was about to happen.But what surprised him was that Smenkarui seemed to be very honest—as if Litu Tankatun was the new pharaoh, and he was so discouraged that he couldn't cheer up anything. It seems.

Leaving aside Smenkari, who Tutanktun thought was wrong, everyone else was beaming—the succession of the new pharaoh always gave them new hope and new hope.

According to their observations, the nine-year-old His Royal Highness Tutankatun is not as troublesome as his father.Perhaps, they can expect that this new pharaoh can bring them a new tomorrow in Egypt.

Every time a pharaoh succeeds to the throne, he has to go through a month of various sacrifices, offerings, bathing, praying, and the like.So Holunhib basically hasn't seen Tutankhaun a few times this month—oh, I heard that His Royal Highness Tutankhaun has been adding essential oils and "blessed water of the Nile River" one after another in order to clean himself and take a bath. I've been soaking in the bathtub all day.

Children's skin is so tender, shouldn't it be wrinkled?

Also preparing for the enthronement of the new pharaoh, but obviously much more relaxed Holunhib had some unkind thoughts.

Oiled her smooth hair—the result of a bargain between Hollenhib and her mother in order not to make her hair too oily—then put on a tiara and fixed her hair.

The maid on the side poured the sesame oil① into her hands, rubbed it, and then carefully applied it on Holunheb's arms, chest, and back.

Finally, a maid came up and painted the blue eye shadow on the eyes of Horun Heb with crushed azurite and mixed with other things.Another maid dressed him in a tunic, shirt, pleated skirt, socks, leather sandals, etc., and finally tied his waist with a belt inlaid with blue gemstones to make the clothes wrinkle.

No wonder Holunhib dresses up like this, just because today is unusual—it is the day when Tutankhatun ascended the throne and became pharaoh.

In this case, Holunhib, as the only son of the general and accompanied by Tutankathun, is eligible to participate.

Finally, after thinking about it, Hollenhib still took the mother-in-law knife made by the blacksmith before, and hid it under his loose clothes so as not to come out—in order to prevent someone from stabbing, no one is allowed to bring a sharp knife at this time. something.

Hollenhib didn't want to bring it either, but it has become his habit to carry a short knife with him.And when he looked at the previous history, no matter whether it was true or not, when this kind of new emperor came to the throne, there would always be some small troubles.

He didn't have any other ideas, but he just hoped that he could use a knife to protect himself when the time came—hm, hmm, presumably His Royal Highness Tutankhatun didn't mind his subordinates' needless worries, right?

Of course, Tutankatun wouldn't mind. For him, although he once thought that Horunhib might be one of the culprits who caused his death in the previous life, it was the last life after all.And after getting along with each other for so many years, it can be said that, apart from his most loyal servant, Aixhet, he is the one who poses the least threat to him for the time being.

Besides, he didn't think that even if Horunhib had ambitions for the position of pharaoh, it was impossible for him to do something stupid when he was nine years old and he was only 12 years old.

In his last life, he was served by a group of people like this. As a nine-year-old child, he didn't know what to do. He only knew that he would become a pharaoh and the most powerful person in Egypt.

But he didn't know at that time that power and responsibility came together, and he didn't know that at that time, his so-called power was just a little bit of charity that those people had to give away because they saw him sitting in the position of "Pharaoh".

However, this time, I will never repeat the same mistakes.

With a gratified smile, the nanny put the gold necklace made of gold and precious stones on Tutankatun's neck.The nine-year-old Tutanktun now has pride and confidence in his eyes.

Before each pharaoh ascended the throne, he had to dress up in a special palace-wearing neck ornaments, arm rings, bracelets, tube-shaped tunics, shawls inlaid with gems and gold leaf, and beautiful clothes. A Sri Lankan turban②, and finally a heavy and expensive crown--of course, it is not necessary at this time.At the time of the ceremony, the great priest will put it on for the new pharaoh after offering sacrifices, as the approval and blessing of the gods.

After everything is ready, the time is almost up.While the maids and nanny bowed their heads in salute, Tutankatun strode out - he needed to walk through the long corridor to the main hall.

It stands to reason that Tutankatun in the previous life had already experienced a coronation ceremony, and there was no need to be as nervous as a kid about what was about to happen.But I don't know why, ever since he walked out of the palace, he always felt that his eyelids were twitching...

Recalling that Horunhib once jokingly said "the left eye jumps for money and the right eye jumps for disaster", Tutankhatun was distinguishing whether he was jumping left or right under heavy makeup, and the result was so different God, just didn't notice something.

It was only when he heard someone shouting "Protect Your Highness" that Tutankhatun broke out in a cold sweat—assassin?when? !

It was Horunhib who was protecting Tutankhatun, and he had already been waiting in the main hall.His position is very good, just in time to secretly see Tutankatun who is stepping forward.As a result, Tutankatun's appearance was not clearly seen. Instead, he first saw a figure sneaking out from behind Tutankatun, stabbing Tutankatun with a short knife in his hand.

We should thank Hollen Heeb for his boring peeping, and we should also thank Helen Heeb for bringing a knife with him, and Helen Heeb's exercise was not in vain. Such a long distance in the eyes of others did not make Hollen Heeb Shib takes too much time.

Just before the blade of the short knife pierced Tutankatun's back, Holunhib rushed to him with the mother-in-law knife.The precise angle and considerable strength hurt the assassin's wrist, and when the strength was released, the short knife only slashed across Tutankhamun's arm.At that place, Tutankatun wore a golden armband, so he didn't suffer real flesh and blood injuries.

After being interrupted like this, the guards also reacted, holding spears and swords, swarmed up, and suppressed the assassin with a few blows.The captain of the guard did not know where to take out a strong hemp rope to tie the assassin tightly.

Tutankatun quickly adjusted his mentality. Although he was still a little scared in his heart-you know, many pharaohs were killed by black hands in this way before they ascended the throne-but he was not a real nine-year-old child. , His panic only appeared for a moment, and he ordered the captain of the guard to drag the assassin to the main hall.

Facing everyone's suspicious eyes, Tutanktun raised his chin and said word by word: "On the way here, this guy dared to offend me and do such disrespectful things to me. During the ceremony, sacrifice him alive to the gods to show his majesty!"

Tutanktun didn't think about interrogating the assassin. In his opinion, whether there was someone behind him or not, it must have something to do with his big brother Smenkarui.

From the corner of the eye, Smenkarui saw himself and the assassin in good condition, and when he heard that he was going to sacrifice the assassin alive, his face flashed with relief and then turned pale. The corner of his mouth curled up: "This matter, the great priest, is left to you. If you dare to challenge the pharaoh's majesty, you must let this guy's blood flow all over the altar."

After finishing speaking, Tutankatun wanted to take a look at Horunhib who had saved himself just now, and now retreated behind the general Harpoquets.Reluctantly, Hapokites' body was too tall, and Hollenhib was completely invisible from the perspective of Tutankaton.

I don't know why Tutankatun, who was a little depressed, thought: Next time, Horunhib must stand in a front position, so that I can't see him at all.

A series of lengthy and arduous ceremonies came to an end—of course the assassin was sacrificed alive. It has to be said that the dripping blood played a deterrent effect that cannot be underestimated.At least those people didn't dare to see Tutankatun as a child who could be crushed at any time-after all, there was a parade.

The newly enthroned pharaoh will sit in a gorgeous shoulder chair carried by sixteen strong slaves, and make a schematic inspection of the land and people he manages.The last thing is to go back to the palace - at this time, the maids have packed up, and the table is full of roasted quail, boiled pigeon, smoked fish, steak, kidney, wheat bread, pickled vegetables and mullet fish seeds, boiled lentils, boiled figs, cherries, cheese, wine and beer, and much more.

The four corners of the room were also ignited with a lot of precious spices, and the whole palace smelled of food and spices. Under the light of the fire and the curling smoke, the golden palace looked like a dream.

To celebrate the new pharaoh's enthronement, the banquet lasted all night.

Of course, envoys from various countries who came with congratulatory gifts are also indispensable.

Although Egypt's national power is weak and a lot of land has been taken by the Hittites, the emaciated camels are bigger than horses, and Egypt still has the power to surrender.

Statues carved in ebony and ivory brought by envoys from various countries; boxes of ebony, mother-of-pearl; boxes of crystal, precious stones, and gold; The luxurious or rare gifts did not attract Tutankatun's attention - after all, he knew these things long ago in the previous life.

He is currently observing the various expressions of the people below with great interest, and it is undeniable that he looks at Horunhib the most.What makes him interesting is that he, a nine-year-old child, has no feeling in the face of these things. It can be said that it is caused by the experience of the previous life and the rich life of the two lives.

But Hollen Heb, even if he is the son of a great general and lives a good life, it is impossible for him to face a large number of treasures that can almost cover the entire ground without being surprised, right?

Hmm, has he seen such extravagance (?) before?Oh, is it at the General's Mansion or... somewhere?

Holunhib, who didn't know that he was remembered by Tutanktun, looked at those gems and thought about the composition of silicon dioxide; looking at those exquisite carpets, he thought about the difference between later generations and handmade... Oh, he will never admit that the reason why he thinks about this is just not to hear all kinds of compliments from those countries.

After all, a group of men in their 40s and [-]s kept flattering a nine-year-old kid around Tutankhatun, which made Hollenhib still feel a little cautious.

After drinking for three rounds, Tutankatun stood up: "While everyone is here, I am here to announce something."

As soon as Tutankatun finished speaking, Anksanamen and the other princesses, who were silent just now, couldn't help looking at Tutankatun.Especially Anksanamen, the expression on her face was very strange - at least that's what Hollenhib, who noticed it, thought so.

And Nefertiti, who sat on the side seat only a little lower than Tutankhatun, showed a little surprise on his face, and then remained calm.

Seeing everyone's attention here, Tutankhamun narrowed his eyes slightly and smiled: "From now on, I will change my name to 'Tutankhamun'."

As soon as this remark came out, everyone was in an uproar.And Nefertiti, who was motionless just now, had an unexpected look on her face.Horunhib also frowned: Did he make this announcement to publicly express his denial of Aten? !

The author has something to say: ①This sesame oil is not the one we cook (Shazi didn’t want to eat Abu), but refers to the ancient Egyptian aromatherapy essential oil, which was used by nobles.Because it is easy to sweat in hot weather, girls know it.

②Most of these costumes were worn by pharaohs on formal occasions.But about Tutankhamun's coronation ceremony is made up of sand.Please feel free to ignore it...

Chihhhhh~ Mina-sang, Shazi has encountered the most difficult period in his life, Shazi's internet speed is frighteningly slow, and he charges on time... This cheating Tianyi!Therefore, the sand can only guarantee the update... Other double updates may not be able to get up... But if you have a long comment, don't hit it carelessly!The sand will make a mark, and when the time comes back to school, with super fast internet speed, I won’t be able to get up one by one at that time...

Seeing that Shasha is charging on time and has a deadly internet speed and frequent twitching, he still insists on not being lazy in posting (please take a breath), let's spend more time!
