Chapter 10: Succession in Crisis
Including the aunt of Lasis, the princess of the kingdom, who served the priest of Neve, the goddess of life.
At this qiē, Lasis just watched coldly. Although the holy women of the various temples are claimed to be virgins who guard the virginity of the gods. But some of these messes and filth are heard of by the poorest people of the kingdom. Not to mention characters like Lacis!
However, this qiē, Lasis just watched coldly.
In another world, there are allusions. When Tang Shunzong was in power, Wang Shuwen once persuaded Shunzong, who was the crown prince at the time. If the crown prince is like Yunyun, where is the emperor?
That's the reason, as an heir, this status is always a little embarrassing.
Even Lasis is just secretly accumulating his strength. At the very least, most of the guards of the entire royal palace, as well as the army of the royal city, secretly began to pledge allegiance to Lacis.
And with the support of the army, the result of Lasis's succession to the throne was unshakable.
That's enough, as long as it's calm. If you don't take the initiative to play the faint card, no one can shake the position of Lacis.
It was dusk again, and Lassis was standing on a high balcony, looking out at the clouds in the distance. My heart sank slightly, and I saw that under the sunset, a military spirit was broken.
If you look closely, it is your own military spirit.
A few fast horses galloped far into the city, bringing up a cloud of yellow sand. They ran as fast as they could, but when they entered the city, they were clogged up by the crowded streets, and it took a long time before they came to the palace.
"Your Royal Highness, it's not good. We have lost the battle! Pharaoh has been seriously wounded......" The messenger came with bad news.
Lassis listened. But looking at the streets of Thebes, he slowly gave birth to an idea that he couldn't hit with eight poles. The city. It's too cramped and messy!
"When you came back, you didn't tell anyone else about it, did you?" asked Lasis indifferently. An icy gaze was fixed on the messenger.
The messenger immediately felt himself frozen, and great fear came over him. It seems that if you don't answer well, I'm afraid your own life will be lost!
"No, not a single one. The messenger shook his head desperately: "Everyone else knows that I am delivering a military message, and no one dares to stop me!"
"That's good, I'll reward you with five gold coins. Rest well in my palace before you go back!" said Lassis.
"No need to ......" was halfway through when the messenger saw Lasis's cold gaze and reacted quickly. Forced smile: "Yes." I happened to be tired. Several horses died along the way, and they were trying to rest......"
Only then did Lasis smile with satisfaction. This messenger is quite clever.
However, even the pharaoh was seriously injured in this great defeat. The news must not be hidden.
Fortunately, Lasis didn't think about being able to hide for too long, just a few hours, it would be enough. It's enough for him to complete all the set-ups!
He quickly summoned the captain of the kingdom's guard, and then the garrison of the royal city.
It was not even before noon the next day, when the Pharaoh was in the middle of his second battle with the enemy. News of the defeat of the Pharaoh's army began to circulate in Thebes.
A few days later, the pharaoh was sent back to Thebes by the army, only to spend more than ten difficult days in a hospital bed.
The news sent the entire kingdom into great turmoil. Homes are closed. Afraid of the enemy coming. It also makes this bustling city quiet like a ghost domain for a while.
However, in the royal palace. But no one paid any attention to this. But it fell into a tense pattern of sabre-rattling!
"Why don't you let me in, I'm Pharaoh's sister. A priest who serves the goddess Neve. Princess Dis shouted angrily.
On her side. He was followed by Moses, along with several other priests from the temple.
However. The soldiers, who were usually in awe of the priests who served the gods, were very tough today: "This is the order of the Pharaoh, he is wounded, he needs to recuperate, and he does not want to be disturbed!"
"Nonsense, my brother, he's been in a coma since he came back, when did he give the order!" The anger made Dis's voice even a little sharper: "I know you, boy of the Andyère family. How dare you stop me, aren't you afraid that your father will go back and beat you flat?"
All those who could protect the palace were either children of nobles or from white families. It's the same in every world!
Andyeb listened, but was not moved in the slightest: "My family has never heard only the orders of the Pharaoh, and of course the orders of Prince Lacis!"
Hearing this, Dice suddenly became unbearable. He was furious: "Moses is my son, and he is also a prince!"
"Maybe the goddess Neve will know," Andyeb said coldly.
This is obviously irony, Dies exclaimed angrily. The temple guards who followed behind him were all about to do it. However, the palace guards were not ambiguous at all, and came from all sides.
There were hundreds of armored guards, well-equipped, and in silence, there was tremendous pressure.
This made the temple guards who were just acting as dependents suddenly feel Alexander!
"What a noise," said an old voice from inside the palace, "come in, the Pharaoh has promised to let you in!"
This is the voice of the old prime minister Diel, a minister who assisted three generations of pharaohs and had great prestige in the kingdom.
"My brother has woken up!" exclaimed Dees with joy.
"No, it's the new Pharaoh. The god Rasis is above, the previous Pharaoh has returned to the kingdom of the sun!" another voice said.
With this sound, the palace slowly opened. And he saw Dhir, the prime minister, and the high priest of the god Ra, and Lasis walking out with him in his arms. Behind them, followed by the generals of the royal army, as well as several other generals of the kingdom.
At this time, Lasis had changed into the costume of the pharaoh, the red and white crown, and held in his hand the golden scepter of Heka, which represented the power of the pharaoh.
Seeing such a scene, all the guards bowed down in awe and cheered: "Pharaoh who is protected by the god ...... God."
Meet such one. Many of the people who followed the palace were timid and fell to their knees.
"Come in. My aunt, my brother. Lassis laughed, "I allow you to share in my glory." Witness my ascension to the throne!"
As he spoke, he walked out of the palace gate amid cheers. With the sound of huge drums, it spread throughout the city. So the people saw it, and the new pharaoh was enthroned.
There was an indescribable envy and jealousy in Moser's eyes, but it was well hidden.
He knew very well that he would not be able to ascend to the throne. But perhaps, if he can get the favor, he can become the new prime minister of the kingdom.
Dees's face was complicated. At this moment, I can only bow my head.
"The king, don't change your father's way for three years. In memory of my father, the great predecessor of the Pharaoh. That's why I won't move the order he left behind for three years!"
The new, young pharaoh, who had just grown this fluff on his mouth, announced his first order since taking office.
Originally, although he ascended to the throne of the pharaoh. Lacis's luck had begun to transform into cyan, a light cyan. And there is also an unstable distraction. But as Lasis said this, this somewhat scattered luck immediately stabilized.
Prime Minister Dill looked in his old eyes. There was an indescribable look: "Our new pharaoh has wisdom that is not commensurate with his age!"
The high priest of the god Ra nodded in the same way, and it was difficult for the young man to restrain his ostentatious heart.
Not to mention. This is the succession to the position of the king of a country. Most are eager to issue orders immediately and show their power. Show off your strength to the world.
And it is too rare to be like Lacis, who can restrain his desire for power. Knowing when and most appropriately wielding one's power is a sign of a king's maturity.
Others, on the other hand, don't think about it that much. As the decree was issued, the officials of all levels throughout the kingdom breathed a sigh of relief.
Without him, the new official took office with three fires. Although this sentence is not in this world, this kind of thing is commonplace.
There is also a saying that once a son of heaven is a courtier, I don't know how many officials, afraid that as soon as the new pharaoh comes to power, he will transfer his position.
And with a three-year buffer period, it's much better. At least I can find a way to get closer to the new pharaoh.
In short, with a simple command from the new pharaoh. The kingdom was quickly settled, and the succession was a success, with little to no major upheaval.
At this time, Lasis felt more and more the wisdom of his ancestors in another world.
has not changed his father's way for three years, and in this simple sentence, he contains the wisdom of politics that I don't know how much. But not just for filial piety......
Luck is the power of reality and the manifestation of people's hearts. These officials are the foundation of the ruling kingdom. This proclamation calmed the hearts of the officials, so that Lasis was lucky and immediately settled down.
However, while the shape of the kingdom settled down. But the foreign enemy will not let Lassis go so easily.
There is also a huge shadow, with the red qi of the sword soldiers, oppressing. Heavy as a mountain, so that Lacis's royal spirit is not stable, and it has the appearance of destruction.
It seems that the military pressure of the Hittites is much greater than imagined!
With the arrival of the Hittites' envoys, the entire palace of the pharaohs became tense.
A dozen Hittite messengers, armed with scimitars and in iron armor, entered the palace of Pharaoh I.
In front of many of the pharaoh's courtiers, he asked with a grin: "Honorable Pharaoh who rules the upper and lower Nilo rivers, your father has been defeated by us. Today, our mighty army is on your borders.
But, said our merciful king. Your father has just died, and although we are enemies, we are embarrassed to take advantage of your funeral to attack you.
So, our king ordered, let us come. As long as you cede Emu City to us. Our king will promise to withdraw his troops!"
When he said this, all the princes of the kingdom were angry. Amu is the most important city in the entire kingdom except for the capital Thebes.
If Thebes is close to the river, then Emu is the main road for overland transportation.
The loss of Amu was tantamount to cutting off the passage with many tribes of Africa. The entire kingdom was almost equal to the loss of a third of the country.
Every minister looked insulted. These Hittites are talking nicely, but they are completely robbing while the fire is burning.
Even Lacis, who had been mentally prepared for a long time, couldn't help but feel a little angry.
However, he quickly endured. At this time, his own family had just ascended the throne, and it was definitely not a good opportunity to turn his face with the Hittites.
This reminds me of an allusion from another world, the time of five dynasties and ten kingdoms. A generation of Ming lords, Chai Rong of Later Zhou Shizong, just when he ascended the throne, launched a war with the Northern Han Dynasty.
As a result, in this battle, those old ministers and generals didn't use their lives much. almost let Chai Rongbing be defeated and died, after learning from the pain. Chai Rong knew that he was reckless, and he shouldn't rush into war when he had just ascended the throne and had not yet won the hearts of the people.
Later, Chai Rong trained the forbidden army to deter those envoys from all over the country and the generals of the forbidden army. The southern expedition and the northern expedition laid the foundation for the later unification of the world.
At this time, Lasis has only been on the throne for a few days. Most of the kingdom's generals, although they recognized him as a pharaoh, would never have much reverence for him.
If you want to command like an arm, you can only say that you are dreaming. And in the case of ineffective command, if you can win the battle, you can only rely on luck!
Therefore, Lasis held back his anger and smiled, saying, "Go back and thank me for the kindness of the king of the Hittites, who is a true king of noble character." Didn't take advantage of it.
However, Emu City is one of the most important cities in our kingdom of Nilo. I have just ascended the throne, and my prestige is not established, and even if I wanted to give the city to the Hittite king, I could not be the master.
Well, I have a younger brother. Let my brother personally bring all the treasures of my palace to the Hittite king. Ask for his forgiveness!"
"And the messengers, it's been a hard work. Let's go down and get some rest, and I'll have a great banquet to entertain you in the evening!"
As he spoke, a group of beautiful maids walked out from behind. Holding a tray in his hand, on which are stacks of gold, silver and jewelry.
Rao was the messenger of these Hittites, and they were all famous warriors. Dare to be in the palace of the pharaoh, so unashamed, and not afraid of being dragged out and killed.
However, they were dazzled by these beauties and Huang Jinyao. I was also a little flattered by Lacis's kind and kind attitude.
So, I was dizzy and pulled down by these beauties. (To be continued......)
