Chapter 674

These people are often more hateful than those with a bad reputation on the surface, because they seem to be good people on the surface, but because they will not be noticed, they can do some worse things-such as controlling gangs, such as bribery and corruption. Corruption, like some of the more dire deals.

Since these people are not bad people on the surface, at least they will not be opposed by the people-however, no one knows how they have accumulated a family property that cannot be supported by their salary alone.

In the eyes of these people, Nitocris' decision is like telling them to their face that the rights left by these dead dignitaries belong to you.

And the ridicule is naturally aimed at Nitocris' whimsy.

In their view, Nitocris's attempt to use her prestige among the people to interfere with the promotion of officials is indeed a clever move. After all, although her own power has been emptied, few high-ranking officials will obey her orders.

But her prestige among the people is extremely great, and her influence among the people will directly affect the army-you know, most of the Memphis army is from the people of Memphis and nearby villages. In this era, except for some elite professional troops, it is impossible for all garrison troops to be composed of people thousands of miles away from home.

With the current social system in Egypt, it is impossible to support so many professional soldiers as in modern times. Even in Memphis, most of the soldiers are only semi-professional soldiers or conscripts.

And Nitocris, who has taken control of the people, is naturally tantamount to taking control of this group of troops. In this way, even if no officials obey her orders, they can only temporarily compromise with her, obey her, let her To determine the distribution of supreme power.

But so what?

These officials deeply know that even though Nitocris has the power to control promotion channels, in the current situation, if all potential competitors are not hers, what is the difference between having such power and not having it? ?

Today's Egypt is no longer the Egypt of the past.

After decades of corruption during the reign of Pharaoh Pepi, the entire Egyptian bureaucracy has completely deteriorated.

Except for the low-level bureaucrats who are still ignorant and loyal to the pharaoh, those bureaucrats with a certain status have, without exception, become vested interests who robbed the pharaoh of his power.

Today's Egypt has long since changed from the original feudal king system to a system similar to the senate and the noble council. Under this system, the pharaoh is just a stamp of human skin, and all the people below are colluding, so that the order of the pharaoh cannot go out of the palace.

Does it make a difference to whom Nitocris assigns supreme power in this case?

Any candidate would want to take her out anyway, wouldn't he?

It's impossible for her to directly choose an ordinary person to occupy a high position—not to mention whether such a decision can convince the public, ordinary people can't afford this responsibility at all.

Of course, in this process, she may still arrange one or two of her own people in those vacant positions. After all, in today's Egyptian bureaucratic system, there are still a small number of ministers who are finally pharaohs and finally traditional.

After all, unlike the previous pharaohs, Nitocris has mastered a powerful hidden force, can perform sharp assassinations, and has won over the common people and the grassroots army. It is only right for her to restore some of her power.

But that's all there is to it.

In the face of a completely corrupt bureaucracy, it is useless to struggle. Even if all the new high-ranking officials are finally pharaohs, but if they are one level lower than them and the people who work for them are all corrupt, then their power will be fundamental. It is a castle in the air, and it cannot be passed on.

Even if high-level officials are selected that the people are satisfied with, if the high-level officials are not selected, then such appointments are nothing but futile.

Even a pharaoh can't stand against the whole bureaucracy, can he?

With this in mind, the officials of Memphis also came to the scene one after another, waiting for the pharaoh's arrival.

Chapter 0834 Nitocris' speech

When Ra's solar ship sailed all the way to the top of the people, Nitocris finally arrived late.

Surrounded by court ladies and soldiers, she walked out of the palace and came to the high platform that had been built in the center of the square.

There was a throne adorned with gold, where she sat, and from there all the people of the square could see her.

Following the appearance of Nitocris, all the densely surrounded people were all boiling.

They cheered Pharaoh, cheered her name, praised her good governance in the past, and praised her for allowing them to participate in such a grand event.

For this pharaoh, the people expressed their deep expectations, and this expectation was also reflected in their words.

They expect the pharaoh to set things right, turn things around, and make the chaotic Egypt flourish again and restore its past glory.

They expect Pharaoh to remove all the exorbitant taxes in the past, punish all corruption and dereliction of duty, and let them live a better life.

Nitocris saw the cheers and expectations of the people and kept them in her heart.

Being able to receive such heartfelt cheers, it would be false for Nitocris to say that she was unhappy, but from this, she felt a deep sense of responsibility.

At this moment, she thought of Thoth, what the man from a foreign country told her, about the strength from the people, and the simple and simple expectations of the people.

"The requirements of the common people are very simple, that is, to have a bite to eat and to survive, as long as

To be able to meet such a requirement, no matter how harsh other aspects are, the common people will tolerate it and endure it silently... But if even the simplest requirement cannot be met, then the common people who were originally hard-working and hard-working will rise up. At that time, Originally bullied by others, they will explode with the power to destroy everything, and any kingdom is extremely fragile in the face of this power. "

In fact, in the original ancient Egypt, Nitocris did not survive after her successful revenge, and after her death, Egyptian officials made the whole of Egypt miserable.

The final consequence is that the ancient kingdom of Egypt was destroyed in this way.

Although the current Nitocris doesn't know all of this, it doesn't stop her from wanting to prevent this from happening.

Looking at the people in front of her, she silently made a vow to change the day and change the day, so that the people in Dousheng in front of her can live better.

Not to mention Nitocris' reaction on stage.

Such a scene of thousands of people cheering undoubtedly made all the officials in the audience turn pale.

Although most of them had a consensus on what was going to happen, and did not think that the pharaoh could regain power by appointing officials this time, but the terrible momentum erupted by the people and their fanatical support for the pharaoh still made these officials I was deeply shocked.

"It seems that we must not give that little girl a chance in the future," a financial officer said seriously to his colleagues, "Look at these stupid bastards, if you let that girl make these guys do something, We might be in big trouble!"

The frightened officials silently raised more vigilance against their pharaoh in their hearts.

However, they don't know that today's meeting is not the beginning, but the end.

On the high platform, Nitocris waved her hands in response to the cheers of the people, and then slowly sat down.

On her left stood a handsome man in a long robe. All the officials knew that this was Thoth, a foreign bard who was favored by this female pharaoh recently.

As the maids said, this stranger from a foreign country was indeed handsome and elegant, but none of the officials present dared to underestimate him.

In their view, the assassination that night was probably at the hands of this foreign visitor—after all, they sneaked into other people's homes like ghosts, stunned everyone without being discovered, and then killed the target. Never seen in Egypt in the past.

Many people decided on the spot that once they gained power, they would drive away this guy in the name of "a foreign liar" and "a scourge who seduced the Pharaoh". If so, it must be restricted by social rules.

No one stood on the right side of Nitocris. Even during this period of time, after hearing the rumors of the killer, almost all the maids in the palace cried bitterly in front of Nitocris and repented wildly. Nitocris Ruth didn't really trust any of them either.

However, what no one saw was that a god was standing here in an invisible state.

It was Mejed.

Protected by one person and one god, Nitocris was full of courage at this time.

So, facing the tens of thousands of people and hundreds of officials in front of her, she spoke.

"Everyone, be quiet—"

Through the spell of amplification, the voice of the female pharaoh spread throughout the square, so everyone fell silent.

The cheering of the people stopped, the officials stopped whispering, and everyone looked at Nitocris, looking forward to her speech.
