Introduction: Her life can be described as: a collection of fragrant desires and ambitions and rights, relying on beauty and wisdom, stepping on the empress-level figures of men on the throne, making thousands of men submit to the bottom of the skirt, stepping on the love of men to stand on the peak of life, creating her own legendary era.
1. National Color Tianxiang Married to a ten-year-old brother
Cleopatra VII, was the last female pharaoh of the Ptolemaic Dynasty of ancient Egypt, she was outstanding, fragrant and beautiful, was called "the beautiful woman of the world" by Shakespeare, her beauty not only changed the fate of Egypt, but also changed the fate of Rome, but also in exchange for the demise of Egypt, it can really be described as "the fall of the city and the country".
Her beauty made the invincible hero of the battlefield, Julius Caesar, willingly fall under the pomegranate skirt. Her beauty led the Roman general Antony to abandon his wife, his army and country, and even his lifelong honor to follow.
Her bones shed the blood of the Greek Macedonian ancestors, the historical Macedonians were brave and warlike, vicious and vicious, in order to seize the throne and usurp the throne, dominate Egypt and establish themselves as kings, and The character, behavior and heart of Yanhou all adhered to this bloodline, she had wisdom, courage, and courage, dared to fight, and throughout history, only China's Wu Zetian could match it.
Yanhou is the most beloved and valued daughter of the old king Ptolemy XII, who has lived a luxurious and arrogant life in the palace since childhood, but at the same time witnessed her own sister's exiled father for the throne, the father turned to Rome for restoration, and personally executed her daughter's bloody and brutal process, this luxurious bloody and violent and cruel environment created her courage and fierceness, also destroyed her life, and was the beginning of her tragic life.
After the restoration, her father attached great importance to Yanhou, and her calm and cleverness gave the old Ptolemy the idea of passing the throne to her, but the old Ptolemy was worried that after his death, Yanhou would be like her sister and would go out to eliminate the men of the Ptolemaic family, so the old Ptolemy came up with a stupid and absurd idea: let the 18-year-old Yanhou marry his own brother Ptolemy XIII.
Yanhou did not hesitate to agree, because only by agreeing to this political marriage would the old Ptolemy pass the throne to her and let her rule with her brother: "Only by doing this can we preserve the honor of the Ptolemaic family."
The children who grew up in the Imperial Family were always more precocious than ordinary people, and the ten-year-old brother, after the death of the elder Ptolemy, quickly co-opted the courtiers to exclude his own sister, wanting to monopolize power, the two expanded their own factions, and finally triggered an army conflict, and finally Yanhou was defeated and exiled.
She took the remnants to the place where her father was restored, that is, the border between Egypt and Rome, and her father exchanged Egypt's property territory for Rome's support to regain the throne, so today she can also. But when she had this idea, her brother thought the same thing.
At that time, Rome was in a civil war, and Caesar and Pompey were fighting for more territory, but Caesar's strength and prestige were higher. Ptolemy the Younger conspired with the ministers to first pretend to defect to Pompey and invite Pompey to a banquet in the palace, but secretly ambushed the killer. While the wine was hot, Pompey's head was cut off and presented to Caesar along with the jewels and gold, but the arrogant Caesar felt that he was invincible, and he had no place to perform his martial arts, and he did not appreciate it at all.
After hearing this news, Yan Hou pondered for half a night and made a ridiculous and bold decision.
She secretly ordered her confidants to dress up as merchants, wrap themselves in blankets, and tighten them with a belt. Came to Caesar's marching tent like a cargo.
"Who?" Do? The soldier asked fiercely.
"A gift to the honorable and great princess," the confidant replied calmly.
The henchman entered the tent, unbuckled his belt, threw it at Caesar's feet, turned and withdrew.
Caesar, who had been fighting outside for many years, was instantly fascinated by the sight of the fragrant scene, and he obsessively looked at the beautiful and exquisite Yanhou, who was twenty years old at that time, which was the peak of his appearance, and Caesar hugged it, and there was no need to say much about the aftermath.
Caesar was deeply attracted by her beauty, but Cleopatra was not eager to meet the needs of Julius Caesar, and around the Roman Emperor that everyone feared, Cleopatra still understood what she wanted.
That night Caesar formed an alliance with her, he helped her seize the throne, returned to the capital, and became his world-known lover.
Caesar immediately dispatched his army to Alexandria, the capital of Egypt, to kidnap Ptolemy XIII, and demanded in front of all the people that XIII fulfill Ptolemy's will, co-govern with Yanhou, and welcome back Yanhou in a high profile.
As a result of her own brother and first husband, with her back to Rome, the reinstates quickly regained power, executed all of xiii's cohorts, installed her own cronies, and became a female dictator in Egypt.
2. Transformed into a princess of the Roman Emperor
In order to secure her throne, Yanhou, who monopolized power, decided to give birth to a child for Caesar, who had only two daughters and no sons, and after heaven took care of Yan, ten months later gave birth to a prince, and Caesar was very happy at that time, and immediately held a celebration of ten thousand people.
Caesar personally built the most luxurious golden tour car at that time, let Yanhou take her son to sit in the kaleidoscope in the car, walk slowly on the Roman Avenue, accept the thousands of worship of the people, a man can give a woman thousands of favors, at that moment the expression is vivid, then Yanhou is really the queen of heaven under ten thousand people, living into the eyes of many women, life has this moment can also be regarded as radiant, death without regrets.
Not only that, in order to express his love, Caesar also erected a golden statue for the Queen next to the goddess Venus, built a temple dedicated to her ancestors, and began to prepare for the first Roman princess.
However, Caesar had a legal wife at that time, his wife was gentle and elegant, a typical Roman woman, well-loved in the country, and the high-profile outings of the Queen of Yan caused great dissatisfaction among the Romans, who on the one hand sympathized with Caesar's wife and hated the Queen of Yan for snatching love, on the other hand, they were worried that Caesar was seduced by beauty and lost the territory of Rome.
The queen who dreamed of a princess was extremely enjoying the luxury and happiness brought by the huge wealth.
All this wealth came from the blood and sweat of the Roman people, and Caesar raised taxes and collected more money for the aftermath.
Yanhou spent the people's blood and sweat on ostentation, liveliness, and extravagance: she ordered people to renovate the palace, build a large number of constructions, and build palace-like mausoleums for herself; ordered the construction of luxurious cruise ships to facilitate sightseeing and fun on the Nile. At the same time, a large amount of wealth is used to purchase clothing and travel equipment, and the money is used for entertainment consumption.
The Roman people hated her unbridled pleasures and ostentations.
Whether it is to continue her own luxury or to enjoy absolute rights, Yanhou has the ambition to let her son inherit the Roman Empire, she constantly interferes in Caesar's government affairs, wins over the elders, and even encourages Caesar to reform the constitution in the Senate, implement the monarchical dictatorship, let Caesar claim the king, and Rome has the final say from this king, so that as long as Caesar's will establishes his son as king, no one can refute it.
At this time, Yanhou was confident and indulgent, absolute power, financial resources, and honor were enough to make her more unscrupulous, she had no scruples all day in Rome, impulsiveness and passion broke through the final bottom line of the soul.
In order for her and her son to remain in control of Rome, Caesar was allowed to speak publicly to the Senate and abolish the previous Constitution of Rome, regardless of the overall situation. Her almost insane lust for power exposed her ambitions and made the Romans known, but Caesar, who was obsessed with her, was really willing to speak, completely losing the heroic wisdom of the battlefield.
The Senate, which was already aware of the ambitions of the Queen, decided to launch a coup d'état to protect Rome. At that Caesar's speech, the senators took control of his retinue in advance, closed the senate's external passage, and everything was ready. Then Caesar rushed to the stage and assassinated him before he could speak, and the Senate stabbed him one by one, and he killed him with hatred, and Caesar was stabbed 23 times in his body and died in a pool of blood.
When Empress Yan learned the news and fled with her son, under the cover of her retinue, she escaped the pursuit of the senate and the siege of the people, and fled back to Egypt, without caesar's endorsement, And empress Yan felt that the throne was in danger, and her and her son's lives were also in danger.
Fortunately, communication was blocked at that time, and the news of Caesar's assassination did not reach Egypt, and then it was possible to buffer for a period of time to plan what would happen next. What kind of person is Yanhou, if it is only the beauty in the eyes of laymen, it is too small to look at her, she is intelligent and witty, long sleeves are good at dancing, her heart is deep, and it is she who is said in the end.
At this time Rome had lost Caesar and needed a new leader, and Antony and Caesar's adopted son Octavian stepped onto the stage of history.
Iii. The General Of The Fallen Continues to Write the Legend of the End times
After returning to Egypt with Caesar's son, She quickly poisoned the puppet ruler Ptolemy XIV and made her own son king, calling Ptolemy XV. Yanhou was also a strong-handed female politician, she opened ports, traded with neighboring countries and tribes, supported the development of the agricultural economy, eliminated the remnants of the 14th Dynasty, promoted talented people, and quickly restored Egypt's economic prosperity.
At the same time, Yanhou also silently paid attention to the movements of Rome and waited for the opportunity.
At that time, Roman Antony and Octavian were divided into east and west, each occupying a territory and not invading each other, and later in order to ease relations, Antony married Octavian's sister as a wife. This year Antony sent troops to fight, in order to ensure the supply of the army, to cultivate strength, he sent a message to Yanhou, hoping that Egypt would help, Yanhou received the news, took a big golden ship dressed up and personally visited Antony.
It is said that Anthony fell in love with Yanhou at first sight, and spent the night together, forgetting the reality that he and his wife, Anthony had not yet received help from Egypt, but first helped Yanhou to calm down the elders who opposed her, kept the throne of Yanhou and the peace of Egypt for more than ten years, and began to live together in Antony's ruling area, this residence is 12 years, Anthony has long forgotten Octavian's sister.
In the past 12 years, the two people have raised a son and a daughter, and life has been comfortable and comfortable, Anthony is beautiful, the children are in pairs, and they have lived a comfortable civilian life. With Antony as a patron, no one dared to move the Egyptian throne of Empress Dowager, and the Egyptian people were particularly grateful to Queen Jane.
To please her, Antony also gave the territory obtained by the Roman army to Yanhou as a gift, and cast a golden throne, which was crowned "Queen of Kings" and her son "King of Kings".
In order to satisfy her ambitions, Antony began to expedition to seize larger territories, which caused great dissatisfaction among the Roman people, who regarded her as a wicked woman and called her "the first demon woman of the Nile". This snake and scorpion woman, who destroyed the peace and stability of Rome, once again aroused the anger of the Roman people, and regarded her son as a wild breeding disaster star.
These outrages were exploited by Antony's political enemy Octavian.
It is said that after Yanhou gave birth to a son, he began to threaten and induce Caesar to kill his confidant Octavian, who, as Caesar's adopted son, naturally had a high reputation in Rome, and Yanhou was afraid that Octavian would affect the future of his son, repeatedly wanted to cut the grass and remove the roots, never to have trouble, and did not want Caesar to be assassinated earlier.
Now that Yanhou has taken over Octavian's sister's husband and devoured her own territory, this new hatred and old hatred have made Octavian murderous.
In this year, Anthony completely abandoned Octavian's sister at the request of Empress Yan, who took the children to Join Octavian and was abandoned by her husband in Rome, which was a great shame for the whole family.
Octavian immediately decided to kill the demon woman to shame the family. He ordered someone to steal back Antony's will in the temple, and summoned the people to read it openly, in which Antony gave all the land and wealth to the children of the Empress, including everything he had in Rome, which completely angered the Roman Senate and all the people.
Citing the usurpation of Roman property, the Roman populace declared a national crusade against Antony and the Queen. The two sides were fighting, but Yan Hou suddenly fled back to Egypt by boat, leaving Antony alone, and after Yan Hou returned to Egypt, she immediately arranged for her confidants to escort her son to escape, and before leaving, she put Caesar's relic, a ring, on her son's neck, and told him to become the king of Rome in the future. She then hid in her mausoleum and waited for Octavian to arrive.
After Anthony on the battlefield found her escape, he chased her all the way to the mausoleum, until this moment, Anthony could not bear to blame her for betrayal, or willing to die by her side. When Anthony heard that the pursuing soldiers had arrived, he knew that he would not be able to escape death, and drew his sword at the door of the mausoleum, and before he died, he clutched the wedding rings of the two men, and read the name of Yan Hou in his mouth, and their children were also drowned alive in the sea.
Anthony could have been heroic and heroic to be the overlord of the first world, but he was angry and red-faced, betrayed Rome for the sake of Yanhou, betrayed his wife, betrayed the whole world, and in order to please Yanhou, he gave his hand to the beauty of the country to detonate the people's indignation, and this love was earth-shattering and moved the world.
Octavian attacked Egypt all the way to the mausoleum of Empress Yan, who wanted to take octavian in the same way and continue her reign. Octavian, however, did not look her squarely, telling her that Antony was dead and Egypt was gone, and that he was going to redraw the country.
All this did not touch Yan Hou's mood, she did not care about Anthony's life and death. Losing territory, it can continue to be seized, as long as she lives, her son lives, the world is still hers.
Octavian seemed to see through her mind and told her not to be delusional.
Octavian said that he would humiliate her to the fullest, and held a triumphal ceremony in Rome, asking her to parade through the streets to accept the scorn of thousands of people. And she and Caesar's son, who had also been executed, would parade the streets with her; the news was like a thunderbolt on a sunny day, and when Yanhou heard it, she was suddenly gray and paralyzed in the mausoleum.
Octavian ordered the soldiers to keep her under strict supervision and not to let her seek death, and Yanhou's henchmen found fresh melons and fruits in the mausoleum hall, and placed a highly poisonous cobra at the bottom of the basket, Yanhou let the cobra bite the back of her hand, and instantly poisoned her death, ending her legendary and beautiful life.
