In the meeting hall of the Imperial Prime Minister of Baicheng, Andyère sat at the very end, carefully waiting for the arrival of the prime minister.

Ramses XII walked in through the side door of the hall, wiped a handful of drool, and said, "Hey! Andyeb heard that your son has become a mummy, is it funny?

Andyeb hurriedly stood up to greet His Majesty Pharaoh as he entered.

"Your Majesty, thanks to the favor of the gods and the gift of Your Majesty, my son has been restored to his original state and has not become a mummy!"

"Oh, what a pity, why not a mummy? I want to see a dancing mummy!" said the seven-year-old Pharaoh, who was always drooling.

"Your Majesty, Menes, the son of Lord Andyèb, is now the king of mummies, and the dancing mummies are all mummy of divine punishment!" said the little pharaoh's chamberlain, who bent down to wipe the little pharaoh's saliva.

"Shut up, you idiot, I'm going to watch the mummy dance, you let Menes do the mummy dance for me!"

Andyeb was a little embarrassed, bowed his head and said softly, "Your Majesty, Menes is not a mummy, but there is a god who punishes mummies, it is said that dancing is very beautiful, wait for me to write a letter, and ask Menes to send a mummy to perform dancing for you." ”

"Well, you have to talk and count, and you can't be like Lord Hemmer, who doesn't keep his word!" said the little pharaoh, dropping the scepter on the table.

"Your Majesty, you can't do this, the Prime Minister is a person from the Pillar Kingdom, how can he not be trustworthy?" the chamberlain stopped.

The little pharaoh ignored the words of the chamberlain, and gave an example of the Prime Minister's untrustworthy words, and the announcement of the Prime Minister's arrival came out.

All the people present stood up to greet the Prime Minister, and the little pharaoh also stood up and saluted with the support of his chamberlain.

A middle-aged man with a wrinkled face, walked in with his head held high, the prime minister is not too old, he has just exited at the age of forty, but his skin is sallow, wrinkles are all over his face, his forehead, the corners of his eyes, his cheeks, and his neck are all deep furrows, not to mention that they can trap mosquitoes, even scarabs crawling on their foreheads can also clip them.

Prime Minister Hammer is short in stature, with strong muscles and a reckless muscle, giving him the feeling of a heavy chopping board, so he is called "Anvil", although his opponents jokingly call him "Wrinkled Face"

The Haimo family has been in control of the government for three generations for a long time, and in the past half century, there have only been only five years when someone from the Haimo family has not been in the position of prime minister, and the prime minister who has been in the position for five years has not died well in the end.

Helmer himself had been in the prime minister's position for twenty-one years, and was the de facto ruler of the kingdom of Kemert, who was gifted, well-rounded, sophisticated, authoritarian, and possessed the godhead of a great magician.

Hemmer became the prime minister at the age of twenty, and during the reign of Ramses XI, he was still able to control the power of the prime minister and not override the royal power at will, but as soon as the eleventh died, Ramses XII, who succeeded to the throne in the domestic chaos, was only seven years old at present, and naturally the power fell.

Hemmer glanced at Andyeb as he entered the door and walked straight to the Prime Minister's seat, placing the Prime Minister's scepter heavily on the table and waving for everyone to sit down.

The little pharaoh's ass touched the chair and immediately asked, "Andyèb, it is said that your mummified son has an immortal body?

Before the little pharaoh could speak, Hemmer interrupted, "Your Majesty, you should now make a speech and announce that the meeting of the Imperial Prime Minister is now open. ”

The little pharaoh had no choice but to reluctantly shut up, picked up the scepter and crossed it on his chest and said, "I, the son of Horus, the light of the god Ra, the lord of the upper and lower Kemets, the ruler of the kingdom of Noa, the Tellos, the Ananites, and the desert wanderers, Ramses XII, on behalf of the goddess of justice, bestow justice on the Prime Minister Lord Hemer!"

"Under the gods, above the mortals!" shouted in unison.

After Haimer finished speaking, he said to the little pharaoh's chamberlain, "Your Majesty's task is complete, please go back to the palace to learn the knowledge of the gods!"

The little pharaoh pouted and walked away.

Hemmer got up and walked around the conference table, and asked half-heartedly, "My dear Great General, Chief of the Armory, I heard that His Majesty's sister Cleopatra was in the port of Lilies and was fighting with the Achaeans in a hot fight, and that she already had a lily crown on her head, would you wait until she came to stroke your beard?"

The Kemerts generally have a habit of shaving their beards and do not have a habit of growing beards, but the armory chief, Jer, has a tuft of goatee, and Jer's ancestors are of desert nomad blood, so he still maintains his beard.

When Győr heard the Prime Minister's question, he was not nervous and touched his beard and replied, "Honorable Prime Minister, Queen Lily is the sister of Her Majesty and the legitimate heir of the kingdom, she and the Akkaya people do business in Lily Harbor, and she has no rebellious intentions, I don't think she will worry about my beard!"

Heimer sat down in the Pharaoh's seat in a circle, looked at Jell and said, "I remind you, my lord, be careful with your words, Kemert has only one Majesty, no Queen Lily!"

"Anything that claims to be king is treason!" said Hemmer suddenly.

The Chancellor of the Exchequer was so frightened by a shout of anger that he hurriedly sat up straight.

Jair glanced at the prime minister and said, "My lord, the name of Queen Lily was given by you, and Cleopatra did not claim the title of king, how can you determine treason?"

"Oh, I see, so you're going to wait for Cleopatra to pull your beard before you think it's treason?"

"My lord, I just want to say that it is not easy for us to take the lead at present, one is unknown, and the other is not financial, if Cleopatra openly rebels, I will definitely give a thunderous blow, and all treason is unforgivable!" said Jell as he stared at Hemmer.

"Besides, it's harvest season, the country's material taxes have not yet been paid, and the army has no food and salaries, and morale is low, so rushing to send troops may only take advantage of the Holy City!" continued as Jair looked up at the Chancellor of the Exchequer.

Hemmer banged his scepter on the table and said, "How are the states collecting taxes this year?"

The Chancellor of the Exchequer hurriedly spread out the scroll of paper in front of him and read it.

Hemmer listened impatiently to the Chancellor's boring report, banging on the table from time to time.

The Chancellor of the Exchequer finally finished reading and looked at Hemmer cautiously.

Hemmer looked up and asked, "Are there any states that haven't paid their taxes yet?"

The Chancellor of the Exchequer replied, "Of the forty-two states of the country, twenty-two of them have not paid their taxes, some of them have not even paid the income of His Majesty Pharaoh's royal fields, twelve of the twenty-two states have given their taxes to the Holy City and refused to give them to His Majesty, five have been given to Cleopatra, and five have been withheld by themselves and have not yet been paid, including the states of the Holy Cat and the State of Rams." ”

The Chancellor of the Exchequer finished looking at Andyèb.

Andyère was stunned by this report, why are all the governors so obedient this year? Are they all looking for backers? Only five states withhold taxes on their own? This is different from previous years? It seems that the three are really going to war, everyone is on the side, which one are we going to stand on?

"Oh, forget to welcome us, Lord Andyères, you sit silently in the corner, and you are going to be forgotten!" said Hemmer as he walked over with open arms to hug Andyeb.

Andyeb hurriedly stood up in response to the Prime Minister's hug.

This damn wrinkled face, you obviously notified me to come to the Imperial Council, this time pretending to forget?

Although Andyère is the governor, such a central imperial council usually has nothing to do with him, and he thinks that he came to the meeting because Menes caused trouble.

Andy was also shocked when he received Menes' letter the day before yesterday, he didn't expect Menes to dare to attack Ram State directly, and that little beggar army could actually sneak attack? and kill Lord Ankotifi mercilessly, this is contempt for royal power, suicide, and treason.

Menes' letter was simply a description of what had happened, and he hoped that his father would ask for His Majesty's forgiveness and appoint him governor of the Ram State.

How could this be? Hemmer could not have allowed such a disregard for the Pharaoh's authority to happen, and if he agreed, he would have acquiesced in the annexation of the major lords.

But now that the matter has come to this, what can we do? I always have to find a way to convince Hemo to recognize what has happened, because the ram and the holy cat are the border boundary, and the Tiangao Emperor is far away from the territory of the Holy City, and it is difficult for Hemmer to do it, but what if Hemo is really mad and bad for himself? What a cheating child.

Hemmer warmly hugged Andyeb and said loudly, "Congratulations to Lord Andyeb's child for coming back from the dead and returning to the world, I hope it will be peaceful in the future, otherwise there will be no chance of resurrection next time!"

Andy broke free of Hemer's embrace and said, "Thanks to your blessings, my son Menes has returned to the world to become the King of Mummies, with the dual godhead of the undertaker and the king of mummies, and has also obtained a team of powerful mummies. ”

Andyeb deliberately said out loud Menes' godhead identity, in this world, demigods are powerful existences and the main objects of the major forces, and of course, they are also objects that need to be guarded against.

At this time, it is necessary to show weakness, but it is also necessary to be appropriately strong.

Helmer pointed his scepter at Andyère and said, "But that's not a reason for you to rebel openly, is it?"

When Andy heard this, he immediately saluted, bowed his head and said, "Honorable Prime Minister, please listen to me, Menes has no intention of rebellion, this matter was provoked by Ankotifi, my son Menes had to fight back, Ankoti killed my son once, Menes still refused to let go after his resurrection, and sent someone to assassinate Menes again, if it were not for the protection of the gods, my son may have suffered an accident." ”

"We also have to do it as a last resort, Anktifi relies on the protection of the Holy City, does whatever he wants, and has long since stopped His Majesty and the Prime Minister in his eyes, so he dares to be so bold and constantly assassinate my son, Menes has no treason heart, and is willing to loyally protect Your Majesty!"

Hemmer returned to the pharaoh's seat, stared at Andyèb, and said, "If Menes has no treason intentions, why don't you pay the taxes?"

"This ...... Your Excellency, this is really not what I want, you also know that the Ram State and the Holy Cat State are both remote places, and the transportation of wealth must pass through the territory of the Holy City, and the land of the Pharaoh is not expected to be intercepted by the Holy City, but the national wealth is not easy to say, so we have not paid it for a long time, and we are not willing to pay it!" Andy's answer is also reasonable, if Menes really pays taxes, there is indeed a risk of being intercepted by the Holy City.

Haimo smiled slightly and said, "Such a big kingdom can't pay taxes, since the bulk of grain can't be handed over, let's exchange it for money!"

"My lord said that he laughed, you also know how poor our Holy Cat City is, where can we have money, and no one buys that grain, we have no money?" Andy said with his hands spread out.

"So you're not going to pay your taxes?" said Hemmer, banging on the table again.

"Deliver, we deliver, we have now taken the Ram State, so that there is a sea route, I will arrange for Menes to take the sea route to set off as soon as possible, as long as the Ram State is here, we can connect with the adults, and we can become the most loyal ally of His Majesty in the south!" said Andyeb with a salute.
