After King Gudea's temporary law was promulgated, as expected, Enhayduana came to the palace, but was stopped by the guards.
"I am the daughter of the gods, and even the great must treat me with courtesy. You soldiers dare to cross class differences and stop me here?"
Nheduana questioned the soldiers, but they still refused to let her in.
One soldier said: "The great poet, the King of Lagash, is ill. He says he will not see anyone."
Enheduana stared: "What kind of disease? Can a great man get sick easily? He is the strongest among human beings! His physical fitness is very good! Besides, I am the priest of Nansai Temple, the first
The Second Temple has incredible healing power, let me show it to him."
Soldier: "Well, he said that he has a strange oriental disease called Ma Maipi. He can't help but repeat this sentence when he sees you, so he can't see you."
Nheduana: "???"
Ma wheat skin?
"This is in Chinese, right? How can you speak it?"
Enheduana frowned and was confused. She understood that this matter must have been suggested by the King of the East. She became even more unhappy, but she did not continue to embarrass these soldiers.
"Okay, I understand, where does this law come from?"
She began to think about how to take advantage of this legal loophole.
She is not allowed to send love poems to harass the King of the East, but there is another way
King Gudea heard the soldiers' report and nodded:
"Enhaiduana is a smart person. She will not give up harassing the King of the East. After her strong proactive attacks get no response, maybe she will change to a gentler method. I can only help here.
Already."
"Sure enough, the proverbs spoken by King Gilgamesh are the truth in the world, 'What is the benefit of me marrying you?', 'Impulse leads to confusion, but calm thinking chooses to leave the confusion'."
"This is what the King of the East calls the wisdom of the sages. The great Gilgamesh woman is beautiful, but such a powerful woman is like a scourge, and she is afraid to avoid it. Perhaps the feeling of the King of the East now is the same as in the legend
, Gilgamesh’s courtship with Inanna is the same, right?”
"As the proverb of the Eastern people says, 'The best is like water'. They like quietness and do not like strength and enthusiasm. They take benevolence and righteousness as their core thoughts. They are good at fighting but not aggressive. They are good at fighting but not aggressive. Their
Anger is covered with cold water and will not be expressed easily."
King Gudea shuddered unconsciously, thinking of the legend that Inanna failed to woo her and then killed Gilgamesh's friend Enkidu.
Well, Inanna was able to go and kill Gilgamesh's friends because she could find them, but it was impossible for Enhayduana to go to the east and kill the brother of the King of the East, and with the land of the east
Judging from the size of the population and powerful people, if she really goes, I'm afraid she won't be able to come back.
Enhayduana did not return to Nanse Temple, but walked on the street. When people around her saw this great poet, they all respectfully moved out of the way, but she was very depressed in her heart.
It has been a long, long time since I escaped from an arranged marriage. Thanks to the early death of my father, when I left Uruk, there had been three generations of kings. I traveled in many city-states and wrote chapters of praise for countless gods. See
All kinds of people, whether kings or nobles or priests or soldiers or brave men or shepherds.
I have also seen some people who carve clay tablets and possess knowledge, and some of them are personable or well-spoken.
But none of those people can move their hearts.
Because that is not real knowledge, it is just repeating what the predecessors said, adding a little more of my own subjective opinions.
And when the course of the King of the East ended, I was convinced that this outstanding and handsome man with great knowledge and noble status met his requirements for choosing a mate.
So, take the initiative.
But it failed.
The other party avoided him and even asked the king of Lagash to issue strange laws.
This made her angry and funny.
This weird law actually has a time limit. Female gangsters are prohibited from harassing married adult men within 60 days. Female gangsters who want to harass married men need to queue up and make an appointment within 60 days.
This is outrageous!
"I am Enhayduana, the great poet, praiser of Inanna, star in the night sky, daughter of the gods, princess of Uruk, Umia of the art of letters, servant of Nisaba the writer
, the supreme priestess of the royal family, the incarnation of the moon, the moth in the sunset."
"Those who want to own me can line up from Lagash to the city of Ur."
She cheered herself up. Many people on the street looked at her with admiration and awe. This was a look she often had in the past, but today these looks made her feel uncomfortable.
Then, she also suddenly thought about Inanna's failure to pursue Gilgamesh, but was instead angrily reprimanded by King Gilgamesh.
What is the use of me marrying you?
You are a stove that goes out in the cold night.
You are a door or window that cannot withstand the storm.
You are a palace that corrupts manhood.
Among the lovers in the past, with whom could you have a deep and lasting love?
"But Inanna has many lovers, but I don't have any. This is even the first time I've been attracted to someone."
"Inanna, the goddess of love, is ridiculed by the king of the world. How dare she claim to protect the love of others?"
Enheduana wandered around the street, becoming increasingly upset, so she went to the First Temple.
The high priest of the First Temple is a kind and wise old man. Although the First Temple priests the God of War, who is also the main god of Lagash, there is no murderous intention in this high priest. He heard about Enhaidu
After Ana’s troubles, she burst out laughing:
"Nhaiduana, you don't know what kind of women men like. You are polite, knowledgeable, and born with a beautiful face. You will not scold slaves or bend the knee to nobles, so you are proud.
"Yes, like a bird that always holds its head high, you are too arrogant and too strong. When you meet the person who makes your heart beat, you sing love songs day after day. It is so warm that it makes people feel flattered."
"You have to learn to be a quiet woman, and don't show too much enthusiasm and pride in front of the person you love. Enhaiduana, you have to learn to be a gentle woman, and you have to learn to be a person who communicates with others on an equal footing.
woman."
People who live long always have the wisdom to see through everything. After Enheduana was awakened, she thanked the high priest of the First Temple and asked curiously:
"At the beginning, the Third Temple was extremely angry about the King of the East's lectures. It believed that foreigners spreading foreign knowledge in the land of Mesopotamia was an act of defiling the gods. Why didn't you react at all to this?
?”
"You neither went to look for him, nor went to the Third Temple, nor even attended the course. Do you think his knowledge is not enough to compare with yours?"
When Enheduana asked this question, she really felt that the high priest of the First Temple should be wiser than the King of the East who did not dare to face her directly. After all, the old priest did not listen to the other party's lessons at all.
So, should you wait a little longer? Maybe the real good match is not with this foreigner?
When the old priest saw Enhaiduana's condition, he suddenly laughed:
"Wrong, it's not that I look down on his wisdom. In fact, I already knew everything that happened that night in the First Temple when the King of the East entered Lagash. Even King Gudea talked with him.
I also know many of the truths."
"I don't go to his troubles or attend his classes. It's not that I look down on him, but I'm afraid that he looks down on me."
Enheduana's beautiful eyes widened, and the old priest whispered:
"Only people who are not very knowledgeable will hold on to a little bit of new wisdom and hide it everywhere without telling others, because that is the limit of what such people know."
"Only a person who truly possesses great wisdom will tell you knowledge that you don't know. He opens his mind and allows you to learn, because this knowledge only accounts for a very small part of his knowledge.
, and just this little bit, we were all listening to it addictedly, as if we were drinking a lot of beer."
