After learning that the fake Pardar had actually usurped the throne in Ctesiphon, Akbaye felt extremely guilty, because he was the Sassanid family from the bottom of his heart, that is to say, he was a diehard loyalist of the Sassanid family, but now the Sassanid Persian emperor was usurped by a false prince of unknown origin, which was unacceptable to Akbaye, and he immediately returned to Ctesiphon from Egypt and found his old boss and teacher who had been idle at Bayesset."
Teacher, that Pardal is not the real Prince Pardal, he is an impostor.......
"Akbaye said to Bayesset, "he is just a puppet of Patiztes....... the real Prince Pardar is dead.......""
Akbaye, don't talk nonsense, we don't know what Prince Pardar looks like, we don't know yet....."
Although he was expelled from Ctesiphon's core power circle, Bayezid was not discouraged, because his real master was not the Persian Shahansha, but the great khan who was far away from Broken Leaf, and not long ago Broken Leaf's order came, asking him to find out the cause of Khavad II's death, he was busy with this, as for the authenticity of Prince Pardar, Bayezid really did not doubt it."
Teacher, don't you think it's weird?
Our new majesty rarely leaves the palace, and all the military and political affairs are taken care of by Patiztus alone......
"Akbaye does not intend to tell the story of his killing of the real Prince Pardar, because if he does, whether he receives orders from Kavard II or not, he will die.""
Hey, that's true, although Prince Pardar has just come of age, I also know that he is a person who is very fond of military affairs and safaris, and he is now a shahansha, but hides in the deep palace and does not come out, it is very suspicious....."
Bayesette thought for a moment and said, "Akbaye, you first rot this matter in your stomach, and then let's take a closer look at this new majesty before we ....."
Bayesid was not only Akbaye's teacher, but also a veteran who had a decisive influence in the military circles of the Persian Empire, and he naturally wanted to listen to Akbaye, "Akbaye, you were the closest to His Majesty when he was assassinated, are you familiar with that assassin?"
”Bayesset suddenly asked Akbaye a question about the death of Kavard II."
Teacher, that assassin is a cavalryman of the 10,000-strong undead army, I don't know who instructed him, but when I returned to Ctesiphon, I passed by his hometown, hehehe, this assassin's parents and brothers and the whole family were wiped out....."
Akbaye said."
That's it, I've always suspected that there is an inner ghost making trouble, and sure enough......"
Bayezet said, this old man's psychological quality is very stable, and the biggest inner ghost in the Persian Empire is none other than him Bayezett, he actually said that there is an inner ghost, which is ridiculous."
Teacher, what should we do then?
Your Majesty's revenge cannot be avenged....."
Akbaye was a high-ranking military officer raised by Khavard II, and was very loyal to the dead Khavad II, and was very excited to hear that Bayezid intended to avenge Khavad II."
The current situation is uncertain, we can't act rashly......
Bayesset thought for a while and said, "Akbaye, if our new Majesty is a fake Pardar, then the problem is serious..... as the deputy commander of the 10,000-strong undead army, the commander of the Saint Fall Cavalry, you must be a thorn in the side of this false majesty and his accomplices, you must be careful, you must be careful and careful, don't fall into their plots.....""
Thank you, teacher, for the reminder, then I'll go back....."
Akbaye left Bayezet's house with that, unbeknownst to him, someone had quietly followed him, and the mysterious men who had quietly followed him were the dead men trained by Patiztus himself, and they had been ordered to kill Akbaye, who was extremely powerful at all costs.As a battle-hardened veteran, Akbaye was keenly aware of danger and tried to escape from the mysterious men, but it was a pity that Partiztus had bled against him, and dozens of bows and arrows were aimed at this highly armed Persian general."
Whoosh...."
Dozens of arrows were shot at him, because Akbaya did not expect that anyone would dare to risk the world's condemnation to do something to him in the capital of Persia, he was only wearing civilian clothes, so many arrows were shooting at him, even if he had great ability, it would be impossible to escape death, "My life is at rest!"
”Seeing that he really couldn't hide, Akbaye had no choice but to accept his fate."
Puff puff...."
Akbaye was shot like a hedgehog, and when he still had a breath, he heard the men in black step forward and say, "General Akbaye, I'm sorry, for the sake of the master's cause, you must die..... only the dead will not reveal secrets....."
As soon as Akbaye died, Partiztes felt much more relieved, and he immediately strengthened his control over Ctesiphon, while his puppet, the fake Prince Pardar, occupied the palace of Persian Shahanshah and lived in luxury.He rarely shows his face in public, and even when he has to, he never lets people approach him and observe him up close.Because although his figure and appearance are very similar to the prince he imposted, he has a very obvious characteristic with the real prince Pardar, and this characteristic will expose him and bring danger to him.The false prince of Pardar did not have a left ear, and a few years earlier he had a dispute with another Zoroastrian priest, and the two sides fought a duel, and although he killed the other, the other party cut off his left ear with a sword.Therefore, when he appeared in public, he always covered his head with a hat, helmet, or other headdress, lest people discover the fact that he did not have a left ear.Even in normal times, he tried his best to hide it, because once others found out that he didn't have a left ear, then his identity would be exposed, and his life would be in danger.As a result, he lived in the royal palace of Ctesiphon and never met with the Persian nobles and other Zoroastrian priests.Although there were all kinds of pleasures in the lavish royal palace, Pardar's favorites were the women of the harem of Khavard II.Therefore, when the news of the death of Kavard II came, the false Pardar, who had succeeded in usurping the throne, immediately usurped them.At that time, the eldest princess Atosha, the daughter of Kuth Lao II and the sister of Khavard II and also the queen of Khavad II, was also usurped by him, and it should be added here that Sassanid Persia, like other ancient kingdoms of Western Asia, had a long system of endogamy, which meant that their queen had to be their sister or sister, and they did this to maintain the purity of the so-called demigod blood.However, in order to prevent the women from discovering that he was an impostor, the fake Pardar put them under house arrest in separate rooms and forbade them to interact with each other.Among these women was a man named Losanna, the daughter of Rustam, the former prime minister of the Persian Empire.Rustam had a high status in Persia and was very influential, and several other powerful people had noticed the anomaly of the new Shahan Shapardar.It is strange that the new Shahansha seldom appeared in public after he ascended the throne, and did not receive Persian nobles at all.Although the Persian nobles were more or less suspicious, they did not dare to communicate with each other.At this time, the news of Akbaye's killing came, which greatly shocked Bayesset, and it happened that there was also an order from Broken Leaf's side, so that he had other dark lines to make good use of this opportunity to strive for the situation in the Persian Empire to develop in the direction of Broken Leaf, Bayezid immediately convened a meeting of British secret spies, including Kumaji, and after discussion, Bayezid and they decided to fish in troubled waters.Bayesset immediately went to meet with the old prime minister of the empire, Rustam, when he told Rustam the news of Akbaye's murder, Rustam was surprised, which shows that there is something wrong with this new majesty, otherwise, a highly decorated general will die on the streets of the capital in broad daylight, and His Majesty in the deep palace has no reaction at all, this is wrong.So Rustam sent someone to ask his daughter Losanna, who was a concubine in the harem: "Is Your Majesty the real Prince of Pardar, that is, is he the son of Kuth the Second Old?"
”Lozanne replied: "I had never met Prince Pardar before the death of the Emperor, so I do not know if this Majesty is the real Prince of Pardar. ”Then Rustam sent for Lozanne to tell him: "You can go and ask Atosha, who is the sister of Prince Pardar and knows him very well." ”However, Lozanne told her father: "I can't see Atosha because she is under house arrest in her room and no one can see her." ”In the end, after careful analysis by Rustam and the others, they thought that this new majesty had never shown his ears, and his flaw should be in the ears, so Rustam sent someone again to tell Losanna: "Now, there is another way to determine whether Shahansha is the real Pardar.That is, while he is asleep, you touch his ears to see if there is anything wrong with his ears.If there is anything wrong with this new majesty, then he must not be Prince Pardar, but an impostor.I hope you will be brave enough to do this, and not forgetting your noble origins, you should have the courage to find out the truth. ”Lozanne replied to her father, "If I wake him up when I touch his ear, he will kill me immediately."
That said, don't worry, I'll do it. ”In the end, the woman took advantage of the bedtime, and when the false Pardar had fallen asleep, she carefully reached under the false Pardar's hat.It turned out that this new majesty was indeed a fake, because his left ear was cut off.So, the next morning, she ordered the news to be told to her father, Rustam.Upon learning of this, Rustam launched a coup d'état with Bayesset, Massoud and others to get rid of the impostor thief.Fake Pardar is dead, but the culprit Patiztes is not dead, he not only did not die but escaped from Ctesiphon, ran back to his fiefdom, and with the support of the Bedouins, he rebelled, this is not the biggest problem, the biggest problem is that the prince should be supported, and suddenly the political situation in the Persian Empire is turbulent.....
