Chapter 672：

However, now, this fact that has been in the dust for several years began to spread for some reason, and was soon believed by many people.

If it was in the past, when those powerful and powerful were still alive, they would naturally be alert to this and try to block the rumors.

However, now that the main rumors are dead, Memphis is also in chaos because of the lack of power. Who else can stop the spread of the rumors?

In fact, Ye Ting was the source of the rumors.

This is also part of his plan with Nitocris.

This is for Nitocris to regain power in Egypt after completing the murder, so as to prevent those powerful party members from retaliating against the Pharaoh after the death of their boss, or to replace them with a response method to re-empt the Pharaoh.

You must know that murdering the previous generation of pharaohs, supporting the new pharaohs and treating them as puppets is not something that can be done by colluding with one or two or all the upper-class dignitaries.

In order to accomplish such a major event that subverts Egyptian traditions, although these dignitaries have enough power, they must also have a group of party members to cheer for them, and at the same time be responsible for many details of the plan.

For a long time, there have been three powers governing Egypt-pharaoh, ministers, and priests. They represented kingship, ministerial power, and divine power, respectively.

Among them, because the pharaoh has the status of descendants of gods, a large part of the theocracy is in the hands of the pharaohs. In this case, the ministers and priests are just servants of the pharaohs, allowing them to get what they want.

However, from the time of Pharaoh Pepi, the usurpation of power by the nobles was essentially a union of ministers and priests, suppressing the kingship through theocracy and relative power.

This is not easy, but once it is done, it is difficult to reverse it.

Because these usurpers and party members represent the power of priests and officials.

Therefore, if Nitocris disposes of it improperly, even if she succeeds in revenge and kills those usurpers, the power will continue to be shackled by her successors—they are not alone, but a few people are fighting, but a whole class.

So, what should Nitocris do to prevent this from happening?

To be honest, although Ye Ting has never sat on the throne, he does have a high position in several worlds. Coupled with the accumulation of knowledge from thousands of years in modern society, Ye Ting is definitely better than Nitocris in the fight for power. Come keenly.

He deeply knew that if Nitocris wanted to truly gain power, even if he was a strong one, coupled with his help, it was not enough.

Even if Ye Ting alone could kill all the ministers and priests of Egypt, what about?

But it will cause more troubles, such as punishment from God, people's incomprehension, such as no one to handle government affairs and so on.

Game of Thrones is not played like this.

If Nitocris wants to regain power, he must have enough supporters-that is, the basic power of power.

So from the beginning of the succession to be emptied, does Nitocris have his own power base?

Nitocris didn't think so, after all, she couldn't even find a palace lady who could be completely trusted.

But Ye Ting told him that she had such a basic disk, and this basic disk was far stronger than she thought.

This basic plate is the people of Egypt.

One thing that is well-known in Egypt is that Pharaoh is the son of god, the incarnation of god, and the human **** on earth.

In the minds of the people, the pharaohs are great beings that can rival the gods.

It is for this reason that these ministers did not dare to disclose the news of the murder of Melaran II.

It is for this reason that even if Nitocris is emptied by officials and has no actual power, her prestige among the people is unmatched by those officials and priests combined.

Even in recent years, Egypt has been messed up by these conspirators, and the people have complained, but Nitocris' own behavior has made the people have a good impression of this female pharaoh.

She pays attention to the national economy and people’s livelihood, and strives to develop her own economy. At the same time, she persuades farmers to persuade farming and personally supervises farming when the Nile River is flooding. This behavior gives her an image of being close to the people. In the hearts of the people, she has always been a good pharaoh, and the great chaos in Egypt It's just a problem left over by the pharaohs of the past, and it was caused by the inability of the ministers today.

No way, like some people in the East, the people of Egypt usually think that the king is a good person when it comes to political affairs. The starting point is good, and the people below are all bad things.

Especially if the king is willing to make a show.

Don’t get me wrong, this does not mean that Nitocris’ behavior is a show, but in this era, she’s really very rare to walk among the people. Surrendered status.

However, it was this behavior that they looked down upon, and the original mass basis of the pharaoh identity, that gave Nitocris an unimaginable reputation.

Chapter 0832 general trend

Perhaps it is a common problem of people in this era.

They respect the strong and fear the king, but always ignore the power of the most basic and weakest people.

In their view, the so-called power struggle is only unfolding between those in power, and the people have no way to speak up, nor can they participate in it—the people are just the objects they ask for and what they want.

This is why, after the usurpation of power, they did not cut off the prestige of the Pharaoh from the people through the way of public opinion, and at the same time established their own prestige.

In their view, the people only need to cheat a little bit.

They were wrong.

They did not deeply realize that no matter what kind of princes and generals they were, they were still ordinary people in his ancestors.

Now, these usurpers are destined to make a fuss because of this.

With the help of magic, Nitocris succeeded in spreading the rumors-or the real facts-to the people in the form of rumors, and let the rumors spread quickly.

With the help of rumors, coupled with the people's reverence for the Pharaoh, and the resentment of the ministers who caused the country's chaos, this news quickly gained the trust of most people.

The people all said that these ministers and priests were all dead. They betrayed Pharaoh and at the same time brought trouble to Egypt and deserved to be punished by God.

With the spread of rumors, the status of the dead among the people quickly became heinous. At the same time, because the people hated the house and the black, they brought the ministers and priests' subordinates, most of the officials in Egypt today, The people are not good people in their hearts.

More and more people believe that these ministers and priests have failed this country, and the country urgently needs the Pharaoh to stand up and change everything.

Everything is developing in the direction that Ye Ting and Nitocris wanted.

And this process is not purely due to magic.

What's more, the years of chaos in Egypt have caused the people to accumulate a lot of grievances.

In the past, when those powerful and powerful were in high positions, arbitrarily increasing taxes and corvee, and exploiting the whole of Egypt, the people dared not speak.

But now that they died because of "God's punishment", the people immediately felt that most of the haze above their heads had been lifted, and they naturally dared to speak out their complaints.

As a result, the grievances accumulated over the years naturally all vented at these officials-after all, even the **** Horus said they were sinners.

Suddenly, in the entire Egyptian court, several officials all became yelling and fighting, which made their scalp numb, and they did not understand why public opinion became like this in a few days.

In terms of using, guiding, and manipulating public opinion, they are far worse than Ye Ting from the earth.

And they are in such trouble, naturally they don't have any intention to fight for those power vacancies.

In fact, Ye Ting and Nitocris had a mispredictability, that is, the gangsters of these deceased people who have the opportunity to inherit their power and continue to evade the crown, even if there is no offensive from public opinion, they would not dare to attack rashly. Competing for power vacancies.

the reason is simple.
