It is said that the Median kingdom once ruled the ancient Iranian plateau for four generations.
The fourth king Astyages (the name is too long, hereinafter referred to as Lao A) made a wave of inexplicable manipulations, which completely ruined the country's fortunes.
I don't know what Lao Ah is thinking about all day long, at night I dreamed that my daughter Mandani was peeing, and the amount of urine was like a surging flood, submerging the whole country, how much water do you have to drink!
Lao Ah invited a well-known sorcerer in China to interpret the dream, and the sorcerer said that this was a bad omen, and your daughter would destroy the kingdom in the future.
But Lao Ah has only one daughter, and after his death, he will inevitably be succeeded by Mandani, is it sick to kill himself?
Lao Ah can have such a perverted dream, which shows that he is not a normal human being, his brain circuit is unique, and he believes in wizards with all his heart.
Lao A's solution to the disaster star is to marry her daughter to Cambyses, a Persian nobleman with a lower status, perhaps she thinks that the Persians have no power and cannot afford to make waves.
A year later, when Mandani was pregnant and gave birth, she began to dream again that a vine had grown out of her daughter's belly, and the branches and leaves of the grapes covered the sky and the whole of Asia Minor.
Then you have to ask the sorcerer again, and the answer is: Mandani's descendants will grow up to kill the king and set himself up as king.
So Lao Ah forcibly brought his daughter and grandson back to the palace, and handed over the newborn Cyrus to the minister Harpagos (hereinafter referred to as Lao Ha), and asked him to kill the baby boy.
Lao Ha pondered and pondered, if Mandani succeeded to the throne and became king, he would definitely find himself to settle old accounts, and he would not be chopped up and fed to the dogs?
Lao Ha decided to keep the bloodline for Mandani, and it happened that the child of a slave Lao Mi was born and unfortunately died, so Lao Ha paid the errand with the dead baby, and Lao Mi became Cyrus's adoptive father and raised him.
Some may have been born with a leadership temperament, and when Cyrus was 10 years old, he played a game with a group of slave children and was elected king. He took great pains to divide the military and political work among his companions, and was as professional as a real king.
When Lao Ah heard about this, he became suspicious again, tortured Lao Mi, and asked the truth.
Lao Mi couldn't bear the torture, and told the story of the bag that year, Lao Ah knew that Cyrus was not dead, and he was angry.
Lao Ah didn't ask about the crime, but very viciously arrested Lao Ha's son, killed it and made it into a kebab, and invited Lao Ha to taste it. In order to take revenge and survive, Lao Ha endured his grief and calmed down, saying that it would be better to put some cumin.
Lao A thought that he had punished Lao Ha, let him go, and continued to entrust him with important tasks, even including military power.
However, there are also examples of this outrageous operation in Chinese history. Chen Linggong raped Xia Huishu's mother and appointed him as Sima, but he was shot to death, all of whom had atrophied brains.
Lao Ah summoned the wizard for the third time and asked him what to do with Cyrus the younger.
The wizard said that since Cyrus had become king in the game, it would be fine, let him go.
Eventually, Cyrus grew into a very good young nobleman and gained a large number of supporters, and he joined forces with the elder Harry to overthrow the Medes kingdom, imprison his grandfather, and establish the Persian Empire.
