Chapter 11 The Duty of the Crown

Wait for these messengers to go. There was a loud buzz in the palace, and the noise was boiling in the sky.

"Venerable Pharaoh, you are the son of the god Ra, how can you endure such humiliation! These Hittites are so arrogant that they should be dragged down and killed!"

"Yes, Pharaoh. Why be so polite to them, kill these Hittites!"

"You can't give Emu City to them. Those desert tribes are the most important source of mercenaries for the kingdom. Once the connection is severed, we will have no mercenaries to use!"

Everyone shouted.

At this time, another piece of unfortunate news came.

"Great Pharaoh, in the land of the Viceroy of Aldu. The tribes of the lowly Guards, when they heard about the misfortune of the previous pharaoh, not only did they not mourn. Instead, they began to rebel against the Governor's rule, and they did not allow the Governor to sacrifice their newborn babies to the gods!"

The messenger from the governor of Aldu knelt on the ground and brought news from the east of the kingdom.

It is one of the largest settlements of the Guards, inhabited by a large number of Guardite tribes.

After hearing the news, the ministers, who were originally excited, immediately became dumbfounded.

This is ↘ an internal and external trouble, but at this time, it broke out all of a sudden. For a time, the whole kingdom was in turmoil, as if it was going to fall at any moment.

Aldu gathered these many tribes of the Weretes over the years. Their population has been swelling, and since two hundred years ago, in order to control the population of the Guards.

At that time, Pharaoh issued very harsh decrees. A large number of newborns of the Guardians were slaughtered, and it was called a sacrifice to the gods.

This would have been a very useful policy. At least control the population growth rate of the Weilie, otherwise I am afraid of the current number of Weilie. It's already more than the Nilo!

In fact, Lasis does not have much antipathy to this kind of policy. In fact. In another world, the Manchus used a policy of reducing the number of Mongols by one out of ten to control the number of Mongols so that they would no longer become a border problem.

And for the Nilo people, who were mainly agricultural and commercial, it was understandable to control the number of semi-nomadic Weilie people in this way!

It's just that the situation is like that now. I am afraid that such a policy will not be implemented.

At this time, Lasis waited for the ministers to quarrel, and then asked, "Then you say, what should I do? Now the kingdom's army has just been defeated. Even my father had been killed in battle. Who will defeat these Hittites for me? And who will suppress these Guardians for me. Is it you, is it you, is it you?"

Lasis casually pointed at a few ministers, and the frightened people hurriedly shook their heads. Just kidding, in this case, they also know very well that it is not a good time to send troops.

"If you don't send troops, who has a better way?"

As soon as this sentence came out. The whole palace was silent. Yes, at this time, it is difficult for the entire kingdom to have the strength to fight the Hittites again.

Even if there is. In case of this panic fight. What if we lose again? The entire kingdom of Nilo is crumbling.

For a while, no one had a solution.

"Brother. Let me go!" Moses stepped forward: "I will find a way to convince the Hittite king." Let him dispel the idea of taking Amu City!"

This person is naturally full of charm. Personable. If there was one person who could convince the Hittite king, he might be alone!

Lassis thought playfully. Looking at the expressions of many of his ministers.

Some people were uneasy and regretful, and even thought that this was a plan by Lasis to kill people with a knife. It was to take this opportunity to kill Moser.

Others, however, did not seem very reassuring, in case this Moses really persuaded the Hittite king to make such a meritorious statement. Then in the future, it will be difficult to deal with.

Even the Pharaoh is not good at attacking such a younger brother who has just made great contributions.

Taking in everyone's expressions, Lasis smiled: "You are my brother, of course you should share my worries." Mercer, I believe in you. Go boldly, and you may take all the treasures of my palace. As long as you convince the Hittite king, it will be the greatest contribution! The position of diplomat is waiting for you. I don't think Prime Minister Dill would object to it. Right?"

"Yes, my revered Pharaoh. As long as you make a great contribution to the king and the country. Even the position under my ass can be given up. Dill said, "I am old, and I need a young and strong prime minister in the future!"

When Maiser heard this, she showed joy and bowed gracefully: "Then wait for my good news!"

Lasis sighed faintly, even if he went on such a dangerous mission. However, it can be seen that the luck on this Mercer body has not fluctuated at all.

This gave Lasis more confidence in Moses's success in convincing the Hittites king.

After all, it's not a mature country!

The will of the state itself is too weak, and the will of the king himself is too strong!

"As for the Guards...... Lasis muttered faintly, "I have allowed their babies not to be used as sacrifices to the gods. But they had to come up with animals that satisfied the gods as a substitute. Also, they have to bear more taxes and labor!"

"Go ahead, find someone to sue them. This is the grace of the new pharaoh. If they are not satisfied, then the army of the Pharaoh will tell them what it means to be content!"

When he returned to the palace, Lasis's aunt, Dees, came to him angrily: "Do you hate your brother so much?

Lasis was eating, and there was a salted fish from the Nilo River, lotus roots. There are also fresh fruits, meats, and the best wines that have been shipped from afar.

He wiped his mouth slowly, and said lightly: "Auntie, you seem to have forgotten something." I am the Pharaoh of the kingdom, the spokesman of the god Ra on this land. ”

"You!" Dess glared angrily, "but you sent your brother to die!"

"It's not death! it's a duty, my dear aunt. You have to understand a truth. The people of the kingdom need to work hard. Take most of the year's harvest. Hand it over to the king. It's because, at a critical time. Pharaohs were needed to keep them safe. Protect the entire kingdom.

As brothers and sisters of the Pharaohs, this qiē is our destiny. It is also our responsibility. And not as a rice worm. I naturally enjoy the glory and wealth of the royal family, but I am not willing to take on the slightest obligation!"

These words choked Dis half to death, and seemed to mock her.

It seems that Pharaoh had the intention of marrying Diess to another king. But Diese was unwilling, so he simply became a monk and became a priest of the goddess Neve.

As a child of the Wang family, he has a noble status and enjoys the glory and wealth of time, brocade clothes and food. But the men went into battle. It is only natural for a woman to marry for the benefit of the kingdom.

You can pursue freedom, but you are not qualified, enjoying those things while shouting freedom......

The woman was sent away, and Lasis finished eating. Standing on the balcony and looking out, night fell, and the whole of Thebes flashed with many fires, almost like the stars in the sky.

Night. In his sleep, Lasis saw the light of the god Ra again.

"My son, you've let me down too. I believe in you, which is why I summoned your father to come back and serve me early. Gives you an early ascension to the position of the pharaoh.

However, your table Xiàn also disappointed me too much. Moser has the protection of the evil god and will definitely complete the mission. At that time. His position is unshakable......"

Listening to Lashen's words, Lasis sneered disdainfully in his heart. He wouldn't be so honest as to listen to Rashen's words. If you don't give Moser a chance to come out, how can Moser have a chance to be guided by the evil god. Embark on that path?

If not, how could it be possible to open a gap in the monolithic Shinto world of this world?

"Yes, the great god Ra. I didn't think Messer was going to get the job done, because it was too difficult!" Lasis argued.

"Stupid, he's going to get the job done!" said Rashen, "you must find a way to stop him...... The power of the evil god must be curbed......"

As he spoke, his voice became muffled, and his light converged.

The next day, early in the morning. According to his original habits, Lasis continued to practice martial arts with his guards.

A knife slashed past, and sparks flew everywhere. The guard's arm was numb, and he kept stepping back, and with a click, the knife snapped. He was knifed to his neck by Lassis.

"Sure enough, the Hittites' iron-making technology is the best, much more powerful than our Nilo Kingdom!"

Lasis was not happy about his victory, but only frowned a little and sighed.

The strength of the Hittites was not unreasonable. In fact, the first war between the previous pharaoh and the Hittites was almost lost.

That time, if it weren't for the northern emperor who hadn't turned around at that time, he bumped into the military spirit of the Hittites. Otherwise, the kingdom of Nilo would have been defeated that time.

Whether it is a military organization, or weapons and equipment. The Hittite kingdoms were to be more advanced and powerful.

In contrast, the kingdom of Nilo is confined to both sides of the Nilo River, surrounded by desert and has limited resources. But trade is developed. It's a land of merchants!

The kingdom has fertile fields with silt brought by the alluvium of the Nilo River, and has a large amount of grain production. It is the most important transportation artery connecting Africa and Nanga, all the way to the city-states and kingdoms along the coast of the Earth.

However, there are few other resources in itself. Even timber needs to be imported from afar.

Therefore, the large number of weapons in this army is far inferior. Moreover, the kingdom is too dependent on the mercenaries of the desert nomadic tribes.

These are all hidden worries!

But at this time, I heard someone report: "The prime minister is here!"

The old prime minister, Dill, came slowly and methodically to ask for a meeting.

A smile appeared on Lassis's lips, and he had already guessed that the old fox would come back to see him. It's just that I didn't expect this old guy to be so calm that he actually came overnight.

"Great and strong Pharaoh, under your leadership, we will surely defeat the evil Hittites!" said the old vizier, Diel.

Lasis listened, and waved the guards back. smiled: "Why did you come in person, did you sleep well last night?"

The two of them greeted each other without nutrition, as visitors from another world. Although Lasis didn't dare to say that he was perfect for this kind of kung fu, he still had the ability to chat with the old fox all day.

Sure enough, it took half an hour to talk like this. The old fox couldn't hold it anymore and said, "I'm still worried, Prince Merser doesn't know if he will complete the task!"

As he spoke, he was preoccupied, and he seemed to be very worried about national affairs.

But Lasis complained, are you worried about your position?

Although the old prime minister is old, many of the official positions in the kingdom are hereditary. He also has a son!

It sounds good in his mouth, you can give up the position of Moses, in fact, I can't wait for Moses to be killed by the Hittites, right?

Lasis is not afraid to use the greatest malice to figure out people's hearts!

"My Prime Minister, don't worry. Moser is my own brother, and I won't let him die. The position of a future diplomat suited him well. Lasis said. Very vaguely assured the Prime Minister Diel.

Guarantee his place and there will be no problems.

Dill quickly understood what Lacis had said.

I couldn't help but be amazed in my heart, and secretly said in my heart, although I, the new pharaoh, are young, but I really don't leak a drop of water, just like an old bureaucrat who has been mixed all my life.

It's a natural talent!

But he didn't know how to speak in this way. In the ancient East of another world, people like Lacis are far from qualified......

Prime Minister Dill is still willing to believe the assurances of the new pharaoh. He didn't believe that the shrewd pharaoh really loved his brother of unknown origin.

So, at this time. The old prime minister was worried about the state affairs, and asked, "My noble pharaoh, if your brother Moses has not been able to convince the Hittite king." So what to do? The kingdom will definitely not be able to withstand a war now!"

Lassis listened and said, "Of course I know this, my dear prime minister. However, I know better the character of the Hittite king, who was greedy and rejoiced in his success. But short-sighted, and stupid. If only we give enough gold and silver treasures, and then we plead with humble words. It is possible to convince this king!"

Dill gave Lasis a meaningful look, but Lasis didn't mention sending the beautiful woman over. In fact, giving a beautiful woman is as important as giving jewelry.

However, this is definitely not an oversight on the part of Lacis. Rather, it was the king of the Hittites, who had a very famous hobby. That's like men!(To be continued......)
