Eagle Byzantium

Zhao Zhao could only give up such thoughts, and he asked Emperor Malala to let Her Royal Highness the Queen come out. He wanted to personally convey the greetings and blessings to her from the two co-ruling emperors of Rome.

"There is no queen in this empire!" Daniel said this directly, perhaps in a hurry.

Hey, could it be that this empire belongs to you two men?

But Zhao Zhao did not say it on the surface. Then he completed the audience ceremony according to the procedures and presented many treasures from Rome, various handicrafts made of enamel, ivory, and glass. This was very useful to Emperor Malala, and he also proposed Reply to Gawain and Anna with a letter of credence.

After staying for a few days, Zhao Zhao left the Rasta area under the surveillance and escort of soldiers sent by Malala, crossed the desert again, and returned to Zela Port.

It was the New Year after we returned, and when most people thought that the diplomatic mission had been completed, Zhao Zhao said that we could not return to Constantinople yet. "We must change the road and enter the previous Malala. The river Gus conquered!"

Although everyone was shocked, they still complied with Mr. Zhao's request. After all, he was the imperial envoy with full powers. Then everyone changed their appearance in Zela Port, pretending to be a Seluki caravan doing business, and hired two guides to welcome the people. Under the bright sun, they stepped into the desert again, but this time they did not go northeast, but southwest. Zhao Zhao had the latest astrolabe and compass, which helped everyone stay correct in the vast Gobi Desert. direction.

This is an arduous trek back and forth, and the goal is not clear. It can be said that everyone, including the guide, has no idea what happened in this mysterious empire in the inland mountains, but Zhao Zhao can be sure, "It will definitely happen." civil strife, otherwise how could Malala, a guy who speaks Agao language, board the How could he say that he had no queen when he was on the throne? What's more, Malala actually said that she was a descendant of Moses. You must know that the information collected by Basilisa said that the most proud thing of the emperors of Axum was blood, and blood is the only one. They claimed to be descendants of King Solomon and the Queen of Sheba.”

The best way to find out the truth is from Malala's enemies, who are likely to live in the Tekaze River area where Malala had previously conquered.

"Zhao is not willing to just return without success. In addition, Zhao has entrusted a courier to send the information from Prince Da Ping to His Majesty across the ocean via Baghdad so that they can know as soon as possible!" Zhao said with a cracked and bleeding lip on the camel's back. Zhao, holding up the astrolabe, continued to walk forward resolutely.

Soon the desert reached the edge, and Zhao Zhao entered the blue rift valley again, which was full of twists and turns of plateau dense forests. They saw naked black men and women, as well as dwarf tribesmen, and Zhu Gebei with extremely thick lips. He kept asking the guide to find out about the roads and ethnic groups ahead, for fear of going to Zanzibar.

Finally at the end of the Blue Nile River, Zhao Zhao finally knew: Go north along the valley to the Shoa Plateau, where there are two warring kingdoms, one is called Falasha, and this kingdom is ruled by a beautiful and sturdy queen. ; Also called Amhara, where the princes claim to be descendants of the great King Solomon.

Zhao Zhao was overjoyed, so he changed the camels, and the group bought expensive horses at a high price from a business inn run by the Crescent Cult in the valley (they were all sent across the sea from Seruki, that is, Yemen, because the local area is (that does not produce horses), bypassed the territory of the Kingdom of Falasha and continued towards the Kingdom of Amhara.

The wind, frost, and obstacles failed to stop him. Finally, Zhao Zhao came to a vast plateau lake. The vast lake water showed a variety of flowing colors under the sun and mountain rocks. It was really beautiful. Zhao Zhaohe, who was full of beard, The group of people took off their tattered boots and stood in the clear, cool lake water. He shed tears uncontrollably - on the other side of the lake, there was a dark blue stone castle, and then the patrolling soldiers told him in Semitic language, "Prince Dilired, the royal capital owned by the direct descendants of the wise king Solomon." Heike's Castle is right there - guests from afar, do you have anything to exchange?"

In front of Heike Castle, there is still a large monolithic church. The priests are currently leading people in a grand procession. The team and the crowd are standing under the big canopy in front of the church, and then walking around the deep pool. Many people Naked and shouting strange slogans, the colorful robes and ceremonial umbrellas of the clergy sparkled in the sunshine on the plateau.

"There is no church ceremony like this in the world!" a Christian monk said in surprise.

But Zhao Zhao understands it very well. He believes that one day the Zixinhui religious group goes to preach in China, it may also bring some kind of relationship between Jesus and Saint Kong.

Maintaining one's nature while doing as the local customs do is the fundamental factor for the rapid spread of religion.

"I am the true heir to the throne of Negus. That Xiaoxiao named Malala is just the tyrant of the Agao people." Then in the palace where they met, when Zhao Zhao frankly told Prince Dilired the purpose of his visit, The young prince was furious and told the truth.

It turns out that the Axum Empire originally occupied cities along the Red Sea. However, as time passed, especially after the Crescent Cult entered Africa, the empire continued to move inland and south in order to avoid the attacks of the pagans. The center of rule was also transferred from the original Beja and Tigray regions to the Rasta Mountains. The main local tribe was the Agao people of the Hami clan. Later, the Agao people gradually took control of the real power of the country. Most of them were priests, generals or As a senior official, the ambition to replace him sprouted.

Just recently, when the Aksumite Empire was expanding southward, it was resisted and invaded by the Queen of the Falasha Kingdom. This brave and violent queen not only burned down Christian churches all over the Shoa Plateau, but also killed the king of Aksum and the eldest and second princes in a battle. Dilired was the youngest prince and escaped by chance, but he was imprisoned in a prison on a flat mountain by the rebellious Malala as soon as he returned to the country.

Malala was the son-in-law of the king who died in the battle (coincidentally, it was really a coincidence, Gawain could have had more in common with him). At this time, he got the help of Archbishop Daniel and the Akau group, not only usurped the throne of Negus, but also began to claim that he was a descendant of Moses.

After the successful usurpation of the throne, Malala imprisoned his wife and Dilired together, which is why he said earlier that the empire had no queen.

A correct version can be found in the 16-9 book forum!

But Dilired got help from a lower-ranking monk, also an indigenous Aksumite, and successfully escaped from the Pingdingshan Monastery with a group of nobles on a dark and windy night.

This indigenous Aksumite lower-ranking monk was now named "saint" by the prince and appointed as the archbishop of the entire Amhara Kingdom. Since then, the prince has deeply hated the Egyptian Coptic Church and the Agau people of Rasta.
