Tumeng: I am a national advisor in the Golden Family
Chapter 631: The Coup in Egypt
The entire Egyptian palace was undercurrent. With the help of the Caliph's emissaries, the nominal Sultan Al-Akbay began to control some troops, and some military generals began to gradually lean towards his side.
This made Aikebai extremely excited, because he understood that this was a signal of victory. As soldiers and generals, they could submit to the Sultan, to a man, but they would never submit to a woman.
Even Cleopatra, who lived more than a thousand years ago, only reached the position of Queen of Egypt with the help of men.
What are you capable of, Pearl Twig? How can you be in this position? How dare you declare yourself the Queen of Egypt!
Even because you defeated the French, ordinary people had to recite your name when praying to Allah, which was a great disrespect to the Caliph.
Even under the deliberate propaganda of the Caliph's messenger, the Egyptian queen became synonymous with evil and the spokesperson of the devil, making ordinary people believe that they were bewitched and therefore willing to worship the Egyptian queen.
This incident caused a great uproar among the people. Everyone began to claim that they were bewitched, bewitched by the loins of Egypt.
At this time in the royal palace in Cairo, Egypt, Pearl Xiaozhi, the queen, was in an extremely bad mood.
She never expected that her husband, the husband whom she had helped to become the Sultan, actually wanted to kill her, his wife.
"Aikbai, I did so much for you, and you betrayed me! I made you the most powerful person in Egypt, and I made you the most powerful person in the world."
"My Queen, something bad has happened. I, I have heard some news that is very unfavorable to you." Just then, a palace maid ran in hurriedly and knelt in front of Pearl Xiaozhi.
"What's the matter? There are too many bad news for me right now. Tell me, what is the matter?" Pearl Twig said.
The current situation is already extremely bad for him. Even many generals who were loyal to him have defected to others. The current situation can be said to be extremely dangerous, so what bad news can there be?
"Your Majesty, it is said that Sultan Aikbai has discussed with the Caliph's envoy that he intends to pledge allegiance to the Caliph and marry the daughter of the Caliph's favorite.
Aikebai is currently gathering all the troops in Egypt, intending to overthrow your rule and then lead people to Baghdad for rescue. "The maid who rushed in knelt on the ground and spoke.
"What did you say? This, how is this possible, this bastard, how dare he, how dare he do this, how dare he?" Pearl Twig picked up a vase in anger and threw it to the ground.
Aikebai! You were originally just an unknown warrior, but you became my lover.
I was able to sit on the Sultan's throne because I was handsome enough, but now you dare to betray me!
And he actually wants to marry a woman who is one of the ministers of Baghdad. What about me? What will happen to me?
Pearl Twig felt a chill down her spine. She had served many men throughout her life, until she finally took control of Egypt, and chose a handsome young man as her husband.
But to the outside world, she even claimed that Aikebai was her wife. She never expected that her nominal husband would betray her!
"No, I will never allow this to happen. It is a betrayal to me, it is a blasphemy against me. Gather my army immediately. I can't wait any longer. Let's kill him now. I will revoke all his rights and everything I gave him." Pearl Twig said.
"But Your Majesty, at least half of the entire Egyptian army is now in his hands, and the public opposition to you is growing louder and louder." A middle-aged general sighed and said.
As a general, he should be loyal to the Sultan. Although this Egyptian queen is very politically savvy and talented, she is not inferior to any man.
But she is not a man after all. If she is willing to rule as a queen mother and pass the position of Sultan to her son, then all the generals will accept the identity of the queen mother and obey her orders, but you call yourself the Queen of Egypt. (Here is a clarification. In history, she was the Queen of Egypt for only 80 days, and Akbai was listed as the queen. Later, the Caliph wrote a letter mocking Egypt, saying that there were no men in Egypt. The Egyptian queen was forced to abdicate and let Akbai become the Sultan. The final outcome was that Akbai directly decided to marry the daughter of the Caliph's favorite.)
"Your Majesty, you must take the initiative. We can't just sit there and wait for death. If we continue to sit there and wait for death, then we're doomed. Your Majesty, you have to make a decision." A Mamluk general said.
At this time, the first to strike will be the strongest, and the last to strike will suffer. If they don't take the initiative, then what awaits them is destruction. When Aikebai seizes power, he will definitely purge the generals of the queen, so they have no choice.
After hearing this, Pearl Boy was silent for a moment and began to think about the pros and cons of this matter. Now he and Aikebai no longer have any emotional foundation. Now there is only one thing in this guy's mind, that is, how to kill himself, how to obtain the supreme power in Egypt, and how to become a real Sultan.
Since the other party has shown no mercy, Pearl Xiaozhi doesn't intend to show any mercy to him either.
It's just like an Eastern saying, you are unkind and I am unjust. Since this is the case, don't blame me for turning my back on you and not caring about the love between husband and wife.
"Pass on my order, summon all the generals who are willing to obey my orders, and let them gather their troops. I want to launch a coup." Pearl Twig said.
How pathetic! He was originally the ruler of Egypt, but now he had to launch a coup himself? In just two months, with the help of the emissary of the Caliph Aikbai, he actually bribed so many people and instigated so many generals to rebel.
"Your Majesty! Since we want to launch a coup, we must have a proper reason. Otherwise, even if we win, the people will not support us." A Mamluk general said.
"I know. The Caliph is spreading rumors and has been bewitching my husband Akbai!" said the Queen of Egypt.
"This matter is rather troublesome and very, very difficult to carry out." said a general loyal to the Egyptian queen.
Isn't it? After all, he is the Caliph, and the Caliph is absolute. His rule is absolute oppression compared to other people.
"I know this, but the Caliph has lost the protection he once had, the protection of God. If God really favors the Caliph, why don't they save him? Baghdad has been under siege for two months.
You should have heard the news from the past two months. The situation in the city is very bad and the war situation is very critical." Pearl Branch said.
Akbai, that fool, went to rescue the Caliph under such circumstances. By the time they arrived in Baghdad, the war might have been over and the Mongols had completely captured the city.
Don't underestimate the military power of the Mongols. The news we have received is only from a month ago. And now the latest messenger has not arrived, that is, no one knows what the current situation is. It is very likely that Baghdad has fallen. And the caliph has been lost. The dead caliph is not qualified to compete with himself for power.
"Tomorrow I will confront Aikebai in the palace. I will tell him that I am willing to obey his orders, I am willing to be his queen, not the queen, and I am willing to give him all the power.
But if he wants to get everything from me, everything in Egypt, then he must return to the palace and come to me in person to take over. "Pearl Twig said.
Egypt must not allow civil unrest to occur at this time, so she must get rid of Akbai, the person these generals are loyal to, and kill her former husband.
If he were allowed to live, Egypt would be divided into two sides, with some supporting him and some supporting the other side, and would fall into a long civil war, which would be detrimental to resisting Mongolia.
"I understand, Your Majesty. I will inform Aikebai." The maid bowed respectfully to the queen and spoke.
There was an undercurrent in the Egyptian palace. Sultan Al-Akbai soon received an imperial edict from the Egyptian queen, who was willing to give up her title of queen and become his consort, and then officially recognize him as the sultan, and hand over all the military forces and power of Egypt to him.
"Hahaha! This vicious woman, this vicious woman, finally got her retribution. Look, look, she is finally willing to hand over her rights. She was holding on to these rights before!" After Aikebai heard the notice from the Egyptian Queen Pearl Xiaozhi on the street.
He excitedly summoned all his staff, ministers, and even the caliph's messenger to tell them the good news.
"This is all thanks to Allah's blessing and the great Caliph's blessing. Otherwise, we wouldn't have been so successful. We turned the situation around in just two months and let this arrogant Egyptian queen know what a real man is." said an Egyptian general.
Although this queen is very capable and politically savvy, she is still a woman after all.
These grown men could submit to a sultan and serve the sultan, but they could not serve a woman or obey the orders of a woman.
This is a matter of man's face. An officer who is loyal to a woman will be ridiculed in this world.
"Your Majesty, is this some kind of conspiracy? Are they trying to trick you over here and then kill you?" said an official who supported Aikebai.
"Does she dare to attack me in the palace? She has told everyone to return the power to me. If she doesn't do so, she will be breaking her oath." Aikebai said.
If you make a vow and do not keep it, you will definitely be punished by Allah.
"This woman is nothing but a witch. The oath she swore is not trustworthy at all, great Sultan. Now you have taken over half of the military power in Egypt.
There is no need to take risks, you can even lead your army to attack the Egyptian palace and kill this woman." A Mamluk general said.
With the Sultan's ability to mobilize, as long as he makes a call, he can get the support of the people and other generals. They can easily break into the palace and kill the woman.
"No, after all, he led Egypt and defeated the French Crusaders, and made great contributions. If there is no suitable reason, I can't execute him." Aikebai said.
There is no way. Little Pearl also has a considerable reputation among the people. Although some people have begun to dislike her, this will definitely not erase the fact that she defeated the European invaders.
"In that case, we will select 200 loyal warriors to follow you into the palace. If he plans to do anything to you.
If you are planning any tricks, my warriors and I will escort you out of the palace. How do you think about this, Sultan?" A general of Mamuluk knelt on the ground and asked.
"Your loyalty is commendable. There are also some troops in the palace who are loyal to me. He cannot mobilize all the troops in the palace.
You take your two hundred guards with you, and we will go into the palace together and put an end to this ridiculous farce tomorrow. Then I will take you to rescue the Caliph." The Egyptian Sultan Aikebai said.
"As you command, great Sultan."
Soon, at dawn the next day, Aikebai led his generals to the palace under the escort of 200 guards and met the Egyptian queen, Pearl Twig.
At this time, the queen was wearing traditional Sultan princess costumes, she had taken off her queen attire, and was kneeling there with a respectful look on her face. There were only some maids beside her, and there was no trace of the army or the general.
"My dear wife, you have finally faced the reality and are finally willing to hand over power." Aikebai asked.
"Yes, my husband, I have faced the reality. Men cannot compete with women. I am willing to give up everything I have, just asking you to let me stay with you." Pearl Twig said.
"Hahaha! You are so beautiful. Even though you are almost forty years old, you are still gorgeous!"
"Please let me help you bathe! Then I will dress you in the uniform of a real sultan." (End of this chapter)
