The Fall of the Golden Empire (Novel) (Volume 1) "Bloody Sunset" by Zhang Baotong
Prince Atahualpa came out of Ina's room before daybreak. Because I had been partying with Yina and Wuga sisters for most of the night and didn't have a good rest, so as soon as I left Yina's room, I went back to my own room and fell asleep. I slept until almost noon, then woke up lazily, had some food, and wanted to see my father. However, when he came to the door of his father's room, he saw that the door of his father's room was still closed and there was no movement inside. Prince Atahualpa felt that his father was really ridiculous. He was old and sick, but he was still so obsessed with sex. He really didn't even care about his life for the sake of women.
Of course the prince didn't want to disturb his father's sweet dreams and good things, so he left his father's door and walked toward his room. As he walked, a thought suddenly reminded him: Was his father really suffering from the plague? If you were serious, how could you have such a good appetite and such strong energy? Because in Inca medicine, high energy is an important indicator of the physical strength and complexion of men and women. As far as he knew, Prince Ninan Kuyuki, as well as his uncles Prince Jikawu and Prince Mayadika were also suffering from the plague. However, they all fell ill and became more and more serious. ,Until death. How could he eat, drink, sleep, and pamper his concubines and young girls like his father? When I think about it this way, I feel that the matter is serious.
So he returned to the palace alone and asked Haya to call the Kachaba wizard. Then he returned to his room, took out a plate of coca leaves and chewed them. Coca leaf is a plant used by Inca men to restore physical strength and increase energy. It has a mellow taste when chewed and has an endless aftertaste. Therefore, rich people always regard this plant as a leisure and enjoyment item. They chew coca leaves in their mouths when they have nothing to do.
The Kachaba wizard came, looking respectful. The prince sat on a golden chair, put a handful of coca leaves in his mouth and chewed it slowly. He asked the Kachaba wizard without raising his head, "Is your Majesty not suffering from a disease?" Is there a plague? If you suffer from the plague, you will be exhausted, your vitality will gradually decline, and you will definitely die. But why is the king not only looking better than the day before, but he can also walk on the ground and work, and his food intake has increased significantly. Why? ?”
Seeing Prince Atahualpa's gloomy face, Wizard Kachaba felt a little guilty, but he still said, "How can the prince know that the king is not suffering from a plague?"
The prince said, "The king not only ate two pig's trotters and a wolf's leg last night, but also drank nearly two bottles of corn wine. After that, he fell in love with a beautiful dancer, and he hasn't gotten up yet. Didn't you say Does a good appetite mean that a person has a good appetite, good absorption, and good energy? Does it mean that a person has strong vitality and a strong constitution?”
The Kachaba wizard hurriedly bowed and said, "This is what the Inca yin and yang medicine says, and it can't be wrong."
Prince Atahualpa stared at the Catchaba wizard with sharp eyes, spit out the chewed coca leaves far away, and then said in a fierce tone, "You should understand that the life, old age, illness and death of the Inca King are not only important to the Inca King himself. , and also important to their princes and ministers?”
Wizard Kachaba said hurriedly, "The slave knows, the slave knows. The king is indeed suffering from a plague, but I don't know why the king can eat as much as he wants and his energy does not decrease. After all, the sun god is protecting him, right?"
The prince said, "If the sun god will bless the king, why not bless Prince Ninan?"
Wizard Kachaba was speechless and said in a squeaky voice, "Maybe you have to ask the Sun God."
Prince Atahualpa slapped the table, stood up, and shouted loudly, "If you want to ask the Sun God, why did I ask you to come here? You useless trash, why don't you go check it out carefully! "
Wizard Kachaba said yes several times and quickly turned around and exited the prince's room.
The two sisters, Yina and Uga, had fun and drunkenly noisy for almost a whole night. Although Prince Atahualpa exhausted his energy and physical strength, after all, the prince was young, vigorous and physically strong, so he had a good sleep. , and ate some coca leaves, my physical strength was quickly restored, and the energy in my body was even stronger than last night. This reminded him of the gentle and considerate Yina and the lovable Wuga again. However, both of them were in Ziyuan Pavilion at this time, and there were so many people coming and going in Ziyuan Pavilion in broad daylight that he felt that there was no chance. Get close and affectionate with them. Of course, he could find another woman. There were maids everywhere inside and outside the palace, and all of them were extremely charming. As long as he waved his hand at any girl, he could easily get her. However, what he really wanted was his biological sister, Princess Anna Yama.
Princess Anna Yama is not only beautiful and solemn, but also extremely noble, smart and intelligent. She can be said to be her father's darling. Although his father valued him very much, he even regarded him as his adviser and general manager. But he knew very well that although he was a man of both civil and military skills, he could not compare with Princess Anna in terms of great wisdom and strategy. Either his father would call Anna to have a secret discussion every time he encountered a major event. Moreover, for Princess Anna In other words, my father can be said to be obedient and obedient. Therefore, he felt that if he could get Princess Anna, he could occupy the north and become King of Quito after his father's death. Since his father has agreed to betroth Princess Anna to him, it means that Princess Anna is already his future and legal wife. So he decided to get close to his lovely sister and future wife.
He asked Haya to go to Yafei Pavilion to invite Princess Anna Yama into the palace. When the young and beautiful Princess Anna arrived in front of the palace hall, Prince Atahualpa was already waiting for her in the square in front of the palace hall with a team of more than 20 palace guards and two tall and strong camels.
Seeing her following Haya out of the hall, Prince Atahualpa greeted him cordially, hugged his sister, kissed her gently on her red lips, and then whispered, "My dear little sister, Pigeon, I haven’t seen you for a few days, you are becoming more and more beautiful." After saying that, he picked up Princess Anna, lifted her hands hard, and put the princess on the high camel. Then, he jumped up and got on the other camel, raised his hands to the palace guards standing in formation on both sides, and walked towards the grassy hillside behind the palace.
Walking on the narrow and winding cobblestone path leading to the outskirts of the city, the citizens and farmers on the roadside saw the prince with yellow tassels on his head and the beautiful and smart princess approaching under the protection of the palace guards, and they all raised their eyebrows one after another. Get out of the way, stand respectfully on both sides of the streets and paths, and bow to the princes and princesses riding camels.
It was the autumn of 1528, and the Inca Empire was at its peak as a slave society on the American continent. Although the kingdom implemented an absolute Inca dictatorship, ordinary peasant families had no land, and the land they cultivated was owned by different classes of nobles and local officials such as the Sapa Inca, the Campac Inca, the Harun Inca, and the Coracas Inca. , but the Inca Empire was a welfare state. Peasants were sent to cultivate designated lands, and they also had to cultivate Sapa Inca land. Although they worked hard, they did not suffer from cold, hunger, or desolation. Therefore, the people are still very obedient to Inca rule.
After leaving the outskirts of the city, we reached the wilderness of mountain grassy slopes. Follow the path, walk through a large corn field, and then pass through dense woods and thick thorns, and then come to a steep ridge. After climbing over the steep high ridge, you can see a sparsely populated area and wolves. Open areas. No one visits here usually, except in summer and spring, when the princes and nobles of Quito come here to hunt with their warriors and guards.
After walking through the middle of a large open grassland, Prince Atahualpa asked his guards to stop and wait, and he and Princess Anna rode their camels side by side and walked leisurely toward the depths of the grassland. The prince asked the princess, "What did your father say to you that day?"
Princess Anna glanced at her brother with a vague look, smiled slightly, and said, "It's nothing more than father's illness and palace matters."
As soon as Prince Atahualpa heard about the affairs in the palace, he became even more alert. He pretended to be idle and curious, smiled slightly and said, "What's new in the palace?"
Princess Anna shook her head and said, "The life in the palace is monotonous and boring. It's not like you don't know what's new. It's just that my father is very worried about Brother Ninan's condition."
The prince nodded slightly and asked the princess in an inquiring tone, "Has Brother Ninan's condition improved?"
The princess sighed and said, "It's getting worse and worse, and there's no sign of improvement."
Prince Atahualpa couldn't help but ask, "My father didn't say that if Ninan dies, who will inherit the throne in the future?"
Anna Yama said, "It must be Prince Huascar, who else needs to say?"
After hearing what the princess said, Prince Atahualpa couldn't help but look a little depressed, and his brows couldn't open for a long time. Princess Anna is a very smart and clever girl. When she saw brother Atahualpa's face suddenly darkened, she immediately understood the reason and said in a comforting tone, "But, my father likes you so much, and he will definitely not let you be affected by it." Wronged."
But Prince Atahualpa sneered disapprovingly and said, "What they might do to me if my father is gone."
Princess Anna looked at Prince Atahualpa in surprise and said, "How could it be? You and Huascar are both brothers and a family, how could he treat you badly?"
Prince Atahualpa said gloomily, "Although Huascar and I are brothers, he is a direct relative, and I am a concubine. Besides, my father has been with me day and night for many years, and we have a deep relationship. It is easy to be criticized by others." Gossip and jealousy.”
Anna was silent for a moment and said, "Don't worry, brother, my father is still alive and has the imperial power. It is impossible for brothers to fight against each other for power and profit. Besides, brother Huascar is gentle, generous and kind, and it is impossible for him to treat You have harmful intentions."
Originally, Prince Atahualpa wanted to trick Princess Anna out of her words, but he failed to trick her out and revealed what he had hidden in his heart. So, he immediately made a self-explanatory and self-deprecating look and told Anna The princess said, "What my sister said is very reasonable. Brother Huascar is indeed peaceful, tolerant and loving. He has the same kindness and kindness as his father. Regardless of whether his father is alive or not, he will definitely not harm me." At this point, the prince smiled calmly and said, "Maybe I am worrying too much."
After walking about a hundred meters, the two walked forward for a while and came to a patch of bright red wild flowers. The beautiful Anna couldn't help but be enchanted when she saw the red flowers in full swing. She asked her brother to help her down from the high camel, and then she jumped and collected flowers. Prince Atahualpa saw that Anna liked it, so he helped her pick flowers. After a while, he picked off a large bouquet of red flowers and handed them to the princess's hand. The princess had too many flowers to hold, so she tied them into bunches with straw. Then she sat on the grass, admiring them and smelling them.
While Prince Atahualpa looked at the flowers and the princess enjoying the flowers and smelling them, he felt that the princess's face and smile were many times more beautiful than these flowers, and he couldn't help but He touched the princess's beautiful face with his hand and said, "My beloved little dove, you are so beautiful. You are simply the incarnation of the beautiful goddess." Little dove is the Inca's personal name for their beloved woman. The princess was lovingly touched, hugged and kissed by her handsome and powerful brother, and then she fell intoxicated into her beloved brother's arms.
The Inca princess was destined to marry her biological brother or his biological brother as his wife. Therefore, the love and closeness between brothers and sisters are very normal and necessary, and the cohabitation and affection between them will not be taken seriously. Writing is against the law, but it is also seen as a symbol of purity and nobility. What is even more incredible is that the offspring of brothers and sisters born in the same marriage with the same father and mother have not had any genetic diseases.
The two fell on the grass embracing each other, rolling and kissing on the grass with joy and enthusiasm. Prince Atahualpa kept calling to Princess Anna, "My beloved little dove." But Princess Anna gasped as if she was intoxicated by love.
The two lay on the grass for a long time, and then Prince Atahualpa picked up Princess Anna Yama and put her on the camel. He asked two guards to guard her. He picked up the bow and spear and carried her with her. A group of guards began to go into the forest to hunt. In less than half an hour, the majestic and strong prince came out of the forest with those people, and the guards behind him carried two killed wolves.
Prince Atahualpa and his warriors came to Princess Anna and showed her two trophies. The princess jumped down from the camel and shouted, "My warrior, my hero." Then she rushed over and hugged the prince's neck, and kissed the prince hard on the lips.
