The Fall of the Golden Empire (Novel) (Volume 1) "Bloody Sunset" by Zhang Baotong
The Inca King Huayna Capac is terminally ill and will die soon. However, after the king leaves, the succession of the entire kingdom is already in front of us. Although the king had repeatedly told Prince Atahualpa and Princess Palia that he would leave a generous territory for their mother and son so that they could live as comfortably as the king. However, what Prince Atahualpa hopes is to inherit the king's large northern territory in Quito and become the king of Quito in the north. In order to achieve this goal, Prince Atahualpa and Princess Palia secretly called High Priest Chalkuchma to Ziyuan Pavilion for discussion.
Chalkuchma said to the princess and the prince, "I have thought of two plans. One plan is that the princess and the prince should find ways to plead with the king and ask the king to let the prince inherit Quito and the northern area. This is Nothing could be better. Moreover, this is actually the king's own wish. If this can be done, they can openly notify Huascar and Prince Manco and the military and political ministers of Cusco to come quickly and ask the king to personally report to him. They announce their will, and at the same time, they can also ask the king to inform the world about the will. In this way, even if Prince Huascar has any objections, he will not be able to do anything to the king. The second option is that if the king refuses to agree to leave Quito and the North to the prince Succession. Then we have to seal off the palace, find a way to make the king suddenly die of illness, and then make a will of the king to tell the world. If Prince Huascar doesn't believe it and sends troops to attack Quito, don't be afraid, as long as the prince and princess will If the Prince of Quisquis wins over, then Quito will have 100,000 elite troops who are good at fighting, and they will be able to defeat the troops sent from the south. Because there have been constant wars in the north for many years, the elite troops of the Inca Empire have been transferred to Quito. On this side, there are only 30,000 to 40,000 troops defending the city in Cusco, the capital, which cannot compete with the 100,000 troops here in Quito. Therefore, as long as the prince and princess can win over the Prince of Quis, Prince Cischis commands the army of Quito, and the prince controls the palace guard, so everything will be under our control. At that time, the prince can establish himself as king of Quito."
The prince listened, nodded approvingly, and said to his mother, "For Prince Kiskis, you have to think of more ways to pull him over safely."
Princess Palia said in an affirmative tone, "I can bring Prince Kiskis over."
After the matter was discussed and Charkuchma was sent out of the Ziyuan Pavilion, Palia asked someone to take her little sedan chair and some guards to pick up Prince Kiskis. In order to facilitate the close contact between the princess and the prince, the prince subsequently left Ziyuan Pavilion.
After being frightened in the Ziyuan Pavilion, Prince Kiskis was not frightened because the prince finally yielded to his mother's request and acquiesced to Princess Palia's affair with him. Through that incident, Prince Kiskis deeply felt Palia's deep affection and unconcerned love for him. Being able to be loved by his beloved princess is naturally something he has longed for and is overjoyed for. Therefore, not only did he become more obsessed with the princess, but he also respected the princess more from the bottom of his heart.
When he arrived at Ziyuan Pavilion, Xiuwei greeted him at the door and took him into Palia's room. As soon as he entered the room, he saw Princess Palia sitting at the table, with a sprinkling pitcher and a wine glass on the table. Seeing Princess Paria dressed up so beautifully and dazzlingly, Prince Kiskis cried out, "My little dove, my princess, and he held the princess in his arms."
The two kissed, and the princess said to the prince, "The king is in the room next to her."
When the prince heard this, he said, "Are you kidding me, princess?"
The princess said seriously, "I won't lie to you, the king really lives in the next room."
When the prince saw that the princess was telling the truth, he turned blue with fright and said angrily, "Then why did you call me here?"
The princess pulled the prince to a chair and said to him, "Sit down first. There is something I must tell you."
But the prince was in a hurry to leave, but when he saw that the princess looked different from before, as if she had something sad and worrying to say, he sat across from the princess and said, "Princess, please speak directly."
Princess Palia covered her face in pain and sobbed softly, "I'm afraid the king won't live long."
Prince Kiskis was suddenly startled and said, "Does the princess really mean what she said? What's wrong with the king?"
The princess said, "Like Prince Ninan, he is suffering from the plague."
Prince Kiskis seemed a little at a loss. After a long time, he said, "No wonder the king has not been in charge of the government for many days. I thought the king was still relaxing in the Usuyak Lake area. I didn't expect him to suffer from such a terminal disease."
While wiping away her tears, Princess Paria took Prince Kiskis' hand and asked with sincerity and affection, "What do you think the prince and I should do after the king dies?"
Prince Kiskis had never considered this question, so he was stunned when the princess asked him this question. He said, "What's the matter? You will still be your princess, and Prince Atahualpa will still be his prince."
But Princess Palia said, "You don't know that the king loves me and the prince very much, and those people from the direct relatives have long been dissatisfied. If they wait for the king to die, how can they not exclude and persecute us, mother and son?" "With that said, he stood up and sat in the arms of the prince, crying and coquettishly saying to the prince, "You are the assistant minister, the commander of Quito's army, and the king's brother. You have to show us, mother and son, a way out. !" After saying that, he lay in the prince's arms and burst into tears.
Prince Kiskis held the charming princess in his arms, kissed and comforted him, and said, "Don't worry, my beautiful and noble princess, as long as you are good to me, I will do my best to protect you and the prince. Let no one humiliate or bully you."
After hearing this, Palia stopped crying and said to the prince with a charming and charming look, "Is this the oath and guarantee of the distinguished minister of assistant?"
Prince Kiskis said, "Of course."
The princess kissed the prince several times, and then said, "If the prince is willing to protect us, mother and son, I, Princess Palia, will be grateful to the prince for the rest of my life." After saying that, she called Xiu'er in and asked Xiu'er to do it for her. Prince Kiskis poured wine with himself.
Prince Kiskis saw Xiuwei when he first entered the Ziyuan Pavilion. He felt that this girl, dressed in plain clothes, with delicate features, elegant posture and tall figure, was simply a rare beauty in the world. Now looking at the girl standing in front of him, pouring wine for him and the princess, he feels that the girl is getting prettier and more charming as he looks at her, so even before he drinks a lot of wine, his heart is already drunk.
He pointed at Xiuwei and said to the princess, "You have such a gorgeous and beautiful girl here. She is really a fairy, a goddess in dreams."
When the princess saw that the prince kept his eyes on Xiuwei and said this to her, she knew what the prince meant. She said to the prince, "No, the king seemed to be possessed by evil spirits when he saw her. Although he was seriously ill, he still let her stay with him and did not leave the bedroom for three days and three nights." Then, the princess said again. , "This girl's name is Xiuwei. She is a beautiful girl I selected from the countryside of Tomewawa. She has been learning singing, dancing and female celebrities with me since she was 12 years old. She is very smart and smart. Originally, she was going to be given to the king as a pawn. Concubine, but the king is about to die."
After hearing this, Prince Kiskis even looked down at Xiuwei and praised Xiuwei, and said, "I have been living in the world for forty-seven or eight years, and I have seen thousands of women, but , I have never seen many such gorgeous and beautiful women. If the princess is willing, I am willing to exchange twenty beauties in my house for this girl."
Princess Palia shook her head and said, "Don't say that the prince used twenty beauties in exchange for Xiuwei. Even if you take thirty or forty beauties, I won't exchange them."
When the prince heard this, he immediately showed disappointment. But the princess immediately said, "But I can give her to the prince to show my respect for the prince. But now the king often wants her to serve by his side, and she cannot leave yet. If the king is no longer here, I will give her to her immediately." To the prince’s palace.”
Prince Kiskis looked flattered and overjoyed, and said gratefully, "The princess's gift is great, but I don't know how the princess wants me to repay her?"
The princess said in a very straightforward tone, "Once the king is summoned by his sun father, I need you to help my prince become king in Quito and assist my prince like you assisted the Inca king. Can you do it? ?”
Prince Kiskis couldn't help but be startled, because this matter was not chosen and decided by him, but he wanted to be chosen by others. If the king handed Quito to Prince Atahualpa, he would naturally assist Prince Quito; on the contrary, if the king handed Quito to Prince Huascar, then he would have to listen to Prince Huascar. dispatch. According to the laws and regulations passed down by the Inca royal family for hundreds of years, all the land should be inherited by the direct prince Huascar, but Prince Quiskis knew that King Huayna Capac especially loved Prince Atahualpa and Pa. Princess Leia had long intended to return the territory she had taken from Prince Atahualpa’s grandfather to her mother and son. Therefore, when the princess asked him such a question, he responded calmly, "As long as the king grants Prince Atahualpa the title of Quito of the North, I will assist him just like I assisted the Inca king." Because the Inca king is in the hearts of his subjects. With the supreme authority, the subjects will only submit to the king, and will never and dare not betray or resist the king. At that time, he will have no choice but to obey whoever is the king of Quito.
This is what the princess wants, because her brother Chalkuchma has already planned what will happen in the future. She nodded with satisfaction and said, "Very good. Once my prince becomes King of Quida, you must do your best to assist my prince."
Prince Kiskis said, "Yes, your prince will be my king by then, and I will work hard to help him without hesitation."
When the princess was happy, she drank a few more glasses of wine with the prince. Then she asked Xiuwei to drink with the prince, and she excused herself from the room. After Prince Kiskis waited for the princess to leave, he hugged Xiuwei and poured wine into her. After drinking a few glasses of wine, Xiuwei became too drunk and fell into the arms of the prince. So, the prince picked up Xiuwei and carried her into the bedroom next to her.
