Chapter 673

They were intimidated.

If Nitocris' way of revenge is her original plan - to lead the dignitaries into the underground palace with traps on the grounds of harvest celebration, then close the palace door, open the water gate, and drown them.

Then, these people will definitely inherit the power of the dead without hesitation, and even kill the female pharaoh who dared to resist, and then support a new pharaoh.

After all, anyone can understand such conspiracy to kill people. As long as you are careful, there is nothing terrible.

But now it is different.

You must know that these dead people today did not simply die because of some conspiracy, but were killed at night, in their own homes, under heavy protection.

Except for the deceased, everyone in the house, including domestic animals and pets, was stunned.

Such a hint, even the most powerful stalker in all of Egypt, can't do it.

Not to mention, dozens of such assassinations happened overnight.

What level of power is this?

Although in the room where the dead died, runes representing Horus, judgment, revenge, etc. were left to imply that the reason for their death was divine punishment.

But these ministers are not stupid.

Although they have no direct evidence that the death of these people was done by Pharaoh, it must not be divine punishment.

Because, if it was God's punishment, which province would use such a low method of killing with a dagger, be struck to death by lightning, be dismembered by thousands of wild beasts, be burned to death by sky fire... which one is not noble? Which one doesn't appear to be full of force?

Killing people with a dagger is obviously done by humans, and without exception, these people died without any precautions, and were directly pierced by a dagger through the heart—exactly the same as the death of Melaran II...

Therefore, the source of the murderer was immediately attributed to Pharaoh—some even thought it was the work of the new bard beside Pharaoh, after all, this happened within a few days after he came to Pharaoh's side.

But even if they knew, so what?

Again, the dead died so strangely and horribly that they couldn't understand how such an assassination was done.

The unknown is the scariest thing.

If Nitocris really wielded such terrible power, then none of their lives were safe.

The ministers knew that they were accomplices in the murder of Melaran II by their superiors and the removal of Nitocris.

Therefore, they are all trembling now, for fear that they will also be hinted at like this, for fear that they will die at home the next morning, and the rest of the family will all faint.

Even the top dignitaries, their defenses cannot stop the pharaoh's assassins, let alone them?

In this way, how would they have the mind to fight for power.

Even the most pompous of men, even if some of them do not believe that the pharaoh possessed such terrible power, it is time to wait and see.

And just waiting and watching gave the Pharaoh time to develop.

In short, as time passed, Nitocris successfully gained absolute influence among the common people.

There are also assists from some pig teammates among these officials.

In fact, after the pharaoh was usurped, the usurpers formed cliques for self-interest and suppressed dissidents for a long time. Countless civilian-born officials were not promoted, and high positions were held by powerful people.

These wine bags and rice bags are not only incapable, but also have extremely poor psychological quality.

This weird assassination and various rumors among the common people gave them great psychological pressure, making these guys worry about gains and losses all day long, for fear that they would also be retaliated and assassinated by such weird means.

So in the past few days, there have been many such officials kneeling at the gate of the palace, loudly confessing their sins, and begging Nitocris for mercy.

Their actions naturally aroused the attention of the people, and their self-reports served as evidence, confirming the authenticity of the "rumors".

Ye Ting believed that the other officials probably hated these pig teammates to death.

Until now, Nitocris has become the general trend, and after that, he will be the last general.

Chapter 0833

It was another sunny morning.

In the city of Memphis, people gathered around the square at the entrance of the palace early in the morning.

According to a notice from the royal palace a few days ago, because several high-ranking officials in Egypt died due to the way of divine punishment (yes, Nitocris simply made a conclusion on this matter), the pharaoh believed that all this was because of the gods For the current dissatisfaction in Egypt, and in order to resolve this dissatisfaction, she decided to appoint and remove officials and priests in front of the people at the gate of the palace.

Those who do not have the approval of the people cannot obtain the vacant positions.

In this regard, the people of Memphis City are extremely excited.

After all, in the past, such a thing has never happened.

The so-called appointment and removal of officials and temple priests was originally a gluttonous feast that only the upper class could participate in.

How can people get involved in this kind of division of power and interests?

But today is different, the people finally have the opportunity to participate in it, although it is only to put forward their opinions and cannot really decide the real candidate, but it also proves the pharaoh's respect for the people.

Pharaoh Nitocris, what a good pharaoh.

If someone they approve of ascends to the high position,

We must be able to cooperate sincerely with Pharaoh to change the chaotic situation in Egypt today.

With this in mind, the people gathered here early, looking forward to what will happen next.

And what do the officials think about Nitocris' decision?

There is panic, there is opposition, there is disdain, there is ridicule, and so on.

Those who are terrified and opposed to this decision are often those ministers who are rampant when they are successful, those who are more unscrupulous after gaining power, and have a bad reputation.

Some of these people's power will often buy and sell by force, rob people's daughters, eat the king's meal, and even worse, they will wantonly fish and meat the people, so that some people who offend him will be imprisoned and eventually demoted to slaves...

Such people naturally have no advantage in this situation, and if they want to fill vacant official posts, they will inevitably receive widespread opposition.

In other words, Nitocris' decision can be regarded as blocking their way to gain power vacancy.

Of course, there are also some unlucky guys who are more competent in their work, but they are also likely to lose the chance of promotion.

Such people are often judges, tax officials and the like.

Judges have never been popular with Dou Sheng, and tax officials are even more hated—especially businessmen.

No matter how competent they are.

Of course, those who welcomed Nitocris' resolution were not really officials with a conscience.

It's those guys who have deep thoughts and know how to pretend.
