The Fall of the Golden Empire (Novel) (Volume 1) "Bloody Sunset" by Zhang Baotong
However, this time, Atahualpa did not get angry because it turned out that Anna's words were right. If he had listened to her and showed kindness and obedience to Huascar, both brothers would not have suffered losses. The entire royal family suffered a disaster, but he would not be held under house arrest by foreigners in this small temple. However, he is the Inca King, and he cannot admit his mistakes even if he has done anything wrong, because the Inca King can make no mistakes.
He let go of the woman in his arms and felt that this woman was so smart and divine, she was smarter and wiser than him. She was simply a god, not a woman. As a man, especially as an Inca king, the most intolerable thing is that there is someone smarter and smarter than him, and she is also a woman. Since she was smart and clever, he asked her, "How do you think Gina's matter should be handled?"
The smart woman did not answer directly, but asked, "How do you plan to deal with it?"
Atahualpa shook his head and said, "I don't have much else to do."
Anna said, "Since you haven't figured out a way to deal with her, why are you talking about it in front of all your family members? Now everyone knows that Gina is having an affair with someone else, and you have no way to punish her. If this continues, can we guarantee that other concubines will not do anything outrageous?"
Atahualpa felt that Queen Anna's words were reasonable, and he couldn't help but sigh and said, "When a person is unlucky, all the unlucky things happen."
Queen Anna said, "There is an old saying among the Inca people that when you are in power, others will love you, but when you are in ruins, others will leave you."
Atahualpa said, "But, I am still the king of the Incas. When I fill that house with gold, the Spaniards will let me go. At that time, I will still be the king of the Inca kingdom. At that time, those who owe Anyone who betrays me will be severely punished."
However, Queen Anna said, "My lord, don't be too happy too soon. I heard that you signed an agreement with the Marquis to exchange gold for freedom. Don't you think this is too childish and ridiculous?"
Atahualpa couldn't help but get angry and said, "Why is this so childish and ridiculous?"
Queen Anna said, "Let's not talk about whether you can get that much gold in two months. Even if you really fill that room with gold in two months, will he let you out?" , Queen Anna added, "Commander Luminawi is stationed in Quito with 30,000 people, your uncle Chalkuchma is stationed in Joha with 35,000 people; and your uncle Kiski Si is stationed in Cusco with more than 30,000 people. Do you think that based on these, the Spaniards dare to let you go? Wouldn’t that mean letting the tiger go back to the mountains? "
But Atahualpa didn't listen at all. He waved his hand arrogantly and said, "Do you know what these Spaniards are here for? They are here for gold. Gold, gold, you know? A piece of gold is as big as a finger. How much gold can be exchanged for in their country? Let me tell you, it can be exchanged for three or four of the kind of war horses they ride. So the people in that country are going crazy for gold, carrying muskets, riding war horses, and leaving sailing ships. Gold is being sought and robbed everywhere.”
Having said this, the Inca King took a breath, drank some water, and then said, "They said their kingdom was much better than here. They came out to look for gold. When they filled their ship's warehouse with gold, they would take the The ship left here and returned to their hometown to eat, drink, have fun, and enjoy wealth and wealth in peace, because they will never be able to enjoy all the things they got in exchange for so much gold."
In order to more fully illustrate the correctness of his point of view, Atahualpa added, "For example, the Inca kings have been leading their armies to conquer the north and south for hundreds of years, surrendering and capturing villages and tribes one after another. The purpose is to make them Surrender to the Inca king, worship the sun as an idol, and rule according to the Inca king's laws. Then, he leads his army in triumph. I think the Spaniards will leave here soon after getting enough gold."
Queen Anna was still worried after hearing Atahualpa's harsh tone, but she said, "I hope so, but we still have to be prepared to be prepared for the Spaniards to cheat."
Atahualpa said, "Don't worry, I'm not a three- or four-year-old kid who just let them fool me."
After leaving the queen's house, there was Gina's cabin next to it. The door was locked tightly with a large lock. Atahualpa asked the minister guarding the door to open the door. He wanted to go in and reprimand the concubine who should be buried alive. He entered the hut, which was a little dark. When Gina, who was sitting on the bed, saw him come in, she immediately got off the bed, knelt on the ground and cried to him while begging for his forgiveness. However, the Inca King's heart was not easily softened. He grabbed Gina's hair and shook it fiercely. Then, he suddenly let go and threw Gina heavily to the ground.
Gina screamed loudly in pain, trembling with fear, but did not dare to make a sound. But the Inca king still couldn't understand his hatred and cursed, "You bitch who has been crawled by dogs, you are a fishy and smelly fly."
Gina knelt on the ground again, breathed out, lowered her head timidly, and allowed herself to be scolded by the Inca King.
Atahualpa vented his anger and said, "I brought you into the palace as my beloved concubine, made your father the mayor of the town, and gave him the privilege of going to the Inca warehouse to get whatever he needed. . But you repay me in this way?"
The Inca king let out a breath and said, "Who is that scumbag of the Incas? He went to Spain and learned a few foreign words, but he didn't know that the world was high and the food was good. Tell me, how did you hook up with him? ?”
Gina trembled slightly and said, "He said that the Inca King would be hanged sooner or later. He also said that if I followed him, I would not be bullied. He also said that he would take me to Spain with him, where It is a very beautiful country, and as long as you have gold, you can live a life richer and more prosperous than the Incas."
King Inca kicked Gina on the forehead and cursed, "Shameful and abominable. You, a humble peasant girl, were born with humble and despicable bad habits in your bones. I was really blind and brought you to the palace. I regard you as my beloved concubine. If I had known that your bad habits were hard to change, I would have buried you alive long ago to save you from embarrassing me, the Inca King."
Gina cried in shame, "My noble king, please kill me, kill me." While kissing King Inca's shoes with her lips and tongue, she wanted to alleviate King Inca's anger and punishment towards her. . But the Inca King kicked her aside, but she still lay down in front of the King and continued to kiss the King's shoes.
At this time, the minister guarding the door outside opened the door and said to him, "Honorable King, the prince who came from far away Ambato has something urgent to meet with the King."
When the Inca King heard this, he said harshly to Gina who was lying on the ground, "Just wait, I will take care of you and your family when I return to Quito." After that, he left the hut. .
