Chapter 672
Today, however, this fact, which has been kept in the dust for several years, has somehow begun to spread, and is soon believed by many people.
If it was in the past, when those powerful people were still alive, they would naturally be alert to this and try to block the rumors.
However, now that the masters of the rumors are dead, and Memphis is in chaos because of the vacancy of power, who can stop the spread of rumors?
In fact, the source of the rumors was Ye Ting.
It was also part of his plan with Nitocris.
This is for Nitocris to regain power in Egypt after completing the murder, to prevent those powerful party members from taking revenge on the pharaoh after the death of their boss, or to replace them with a countermeasure to re-establish the pharaoh.
You must know that murdering the previous generation of pharaohs, supporting the new pharaohs and using them as puppets is not something that can be done by one or two, or all the upper-level dignitaries colluding.
In order to complete such a major event that subverts Egyptian traditions, although these dignitaries have sufficient power, they must also have a group of partisans to cheer for them, and at the same time be responsible for the details of many plans.
For a long time, there were three powers ruling Egypt - pharaohs, ministers and priests, who represented kingship, ministerial power and theocratic power respectively.
Among them, since the pharaoh has the identity of the descendant of the gods, a large part of the divine power is in the hands of the pharaoh. In this case, the ministers and priests are only the servants of the pharaoh, and they are allowed to take whatever they want.
However, from the time of Peppi Pharaoh, the usurping power of the powerful, in essence, the union of ministers and priests, suppressed the kingship through theocratic and ministerial powers.
It's not easy, but once it's done, it's hard to reverse.
Because these usurpers and henchmen represent the power of the priestly and official classes.
Therefore, if Nitocris does not handle it properly, even if she succeeds in revenge and kills those usurpers, power will continue to be held by the successors - they are not alone, several 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 hold 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 terms of fighting for power and profit. Come sharp.
He deeply knew that if Nitocris wanted to truly gain power, even if she was a strong person, plus his help, it was not enough.
Even if Ye Ting alone could kill all the ministers and priests in Egypt, so what?
That would only lead to more troubles, such as God's punishment, such as people's incomprehension, such as no one to handle government affairs and so on.
Game of Thrones doesn't play that way.
If Nitocris wants to regain power, she must have enough supporters—that is, the basic disk of power.
So since the succession to the throne, it has been vacated. Does Nitocris have her own power base?
Nitocris didn't think so, after all, she couldn't find a palace maid she could completely trust.
But Ye Ting told him that she has such a basic plan, and this basic plan is far stronger than she imagined.
This basic plate is the people of Egypt.
One of the things that was well known in Egypt was that Pharaoh was the Son of God, the incarnation of God, the man-god of the earth.
In the eyes of the people, the pharaohs are great beings comparable to the gods.
It is for this reason that these ministers did not dare to disclose the news of the murder of Merlaran II.
It is also for this reason that even if Nitocris is overridden by the officials and has no real 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 are complaining, but Nitocris's own behavior has made the people have a lot of goodwill towards this female pharaoh.
She pays attention to the national economy and people's livelihood, strives to develop the country's economy, and at the same time persuades farmers to cultivate, and personally supervises the cultivation when the Nile River overflows. This behavior has given her an image of being close to the people. In the hearts of the people, she has always been a good pharaoh. But it is a problem left by the pharaohs of the past, and the current ministers are not able to do it.
No way, like some people in the East, the people of Egypt usually think that the king is a good person when they argue with current affairs, and the starting point is all good, because the people below are bad and so on.
Especially if this king is willing to make a show.
Don't get me wrong, this does not mean that Nitocris's behavior is a show, but in this era, it is indeed rare for her to walk into the people in person. Self-imposed identity.
However, it was this behavior they despised, and the original mass base of the pharaoh's identity, that gave Nitocris an unimaginable fame.
Chapter 0832 general trend
Perhaps it is a common problem of people of this era.
They respect the strong and fear the king, but they always ignore the power of the most basic and weakest people.
In their view, the so-called power struggle only unfolds between those in power, and the common people have no way to speak up or participate in it - the common people are just the objects of what they ask for.
This is why, after usurping power, they did not cut off the prestige of the pharaoh among the people through public opinion, and established their own prestige at the same time.
In their view, the people only need to deceive a little.
However they were wrong.
They did not deeply realize that no matter what kind of prince and general, his ancestors were still ordinary people.
Today, these usurpers are destined to turn their backs on this.
With the help of magic, Nitocris succeeded in spreading rumors -- or the real facts -- among the people in the form of rumors, and made the rumors spread quickly.
With the help of rumors, coupled with the people's own reverence for the pharaoh and resentment against the ministers who caused chaos in the country, the news quickly gained the confidence of the majority.
The people all said that these ministers and priests were all worthy of death. 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 deceased among the people quickly became heinous. At the same time, because the people hated the house and the Uganda, so even with the subordinates of these ministers and priests, most of the officials in Egypt today, People are not good people.
More and more people believe that these ministers and priests have failed the country, and the country urgently needs the pharaoh to stand up and change everything.
Everything was going in the direction that Ye Ting and Nitocris thought.
And this process is not purely due to magic.
What's more, the chaos in Egypt for many years has caused the people to accumulate a lot of grievances.
In the past, when those dignitaries held high positions, wantonly increased taxes and servitude, and exploited the whole of Egypt, the people dared not to speak out.
But now that they died because of "God's punishment", the people immediately felt that most of the haze over their heads had been lifted, and they naturally dared to speak out their complaints.
As a result, all the grievances accumulated over the years were naturally vented towards these officials—after all, even God Horus said they were sinners.
For a time, several officials in the entire Egyptian court became shouting and fighting, which made their scalps numb, and they didn't understand why the public opinion became like this in a few days.
In terms of using, guiding, and manipulating public opinion, they were far worse than Ye Ting from Earth.
And they, who are in such trouble, naturally have no intention to compete for those power vacancies.
In fact, Ye Ting and Nitocris had a little mistake in their predictions, that is, those who had the opportunity to inherit their power and continue to take over the kingship of the deceased's henchmen would not dare to attack rashly even if there was no offensive from public opinion. Competing for power vacancies.
the reason is simple.
