Chapter 675
This is the influence of Pharaoh.
The people in front of me, some of them are sincere, some are fake, some really respect her, and some despise her in their hearts, but no matter what they think, in front of Pharaoh, the incarnation of God on earth, they must obey Pharaoh’s imperial order and listen to her speech .
Then Nitocris spoke.
"The people present, the soldiers, and the officials, I am the incarnation of Horus Nebuti (collectively known as the guardian goddess of upper and lower Egypt, meaning the guardian of upper and lower Egypt) Gold Horus Nisu Pitt (a person belonging to Jian and Feng, meaning the king of upper and lower Egypt) · son of Ra, and Pharaoh of you."
People looked at her with burning eyes.
"Now, standing on a high platform and standing in front of you, as a pharaoh, I am deeply sorry for you. Today's Egypt is not considered prosperous, and many people's lives are not happy. All kinds of unreasonable taxes and corvees Let many people hardly survive, many spat (meaning states) no longer listen to Wangcheng's dispatch, in short, everyone is living very hard - this is all my responsibility, here, I want to express my gratitude to everyone With deep apologies.”
Saying that, Nitocris really bowed to the people.
Is this worth it?
The king actually apologized to the people, which has never happened since ancient times.
The behavior of Nitocris moved the people to the extreme at once, especially because many of them believed that the chaos in Egypt was not due to the pharaoh, but the mistakes of the ministers, so someone immediately shouted.
"Your Majesty the Pharaoh, you are not wrong!"
"Your Majesty, don't apologize!"
"It's all the crimes of those treacherous ministers, why should His Majesty apologize?"
The people were very loud, and soon the surroundings were noisy again. At first, they expressed their understanding to Pharaoh, but soon it turned into verbal criticism of the "treacherous officials".
As a result, those ministers who were guarded by soldiers and sitting in the center of the square, under the throne immediately became uncomfortable.
Obviously it was Pharaoh who apologized, why did he scold us in the blink of an eye.
And many of them already felt something was wrong.
Chapter 0835
The people's fanatical support for Pharaoh and their disgust for corrupt officials once made the scene out of control.
But soon Nitocris found the rhythm of her speech.
"I'm very glad that everyone can trust me so much." Nitocris's voice calmed down the voices of the people again, "I can indeed pat my chest to assure that I have no intention of harming this country, but the fact is, My inaction has really allowed some people to abuse their power, people who have betrayed my trust and done harm to this country."
"Fortunately, just a few days ago, these people suffered their retribution and fell into the abyss of death. Anubis will judge their crimes during their lifetime."
"Although I don't know who caused all this, whether it was a god or a righteous assassin, but, as the moths of the country, they are indeed dead."
Speaking of this, Nitocris's tone was a little slower, and everyone's mood calmed down a little.
But then the turning point caught people's hearts again.
"So, is Egypt really ready to regain its glory?" Nitocris asked loudly.
Before anyone could answer, she gave the answer herself.
"No, no." She shouted: "Although the chief culprits of the enemies of Egypt are gone, I still want to say that Egypt is still suffering unprecedented disasters!"
Nitocris' words caused bursts of exclamation, and the officials had already noticed that her words were wrong.
"People of Egypt, what I want to tell you now is that those dead officials are just a few of the larger moths in Egypt. They still have countless followers and subordinates. These enemies of Egypt are scattered all over Among the ministers, they are all over the temple, and even among the army and court! Although their leader is dead, they can elect a new leader at any time, and now they are conspiring to push Egypt into the abyss!"
Hearing this, the ministers in the audience already understood everything and understood Nitocris' plan.
The purpose of the Egyptian pharaoh's gathering was not at all to select candidates for vacancies.
Her purpose is simply to gather them all together and cut grass and roots.
And the people who surround them now are the source of strength that this Pharaoh relies on.
You must know that although relying on her reputation among the common people, Nitocris can at least get the support of the Memphis city guards and other garrison troops, but most of these supports come from the soldiers at the bottom.
However, for these officials, no matter how many soldiers support the pharaoh, as long as they can buy the officers, it is enough.
After all, although a large number of low-level soldiers are difficult to buy, they can still seduce a few officers with money and status.
You must know that even if the soldiers at the bottom are assembled and possess enormous strength, they are just ordinary soldiers after all. Without the organization of the commander, they can't do anything at all.
This greatly limited what Nitocris could allow them to do.
At best, Nitocris' influence can only guarantee that they will not riot and rebel.
Therefore, in the minds of the officials, the only power of Nitocris that made them afraid was the strange assassination ability that seemed to come from that foreign visitor.
And the grand occasion of electing bureaucrats in public makes such an assassination ability
Lost the effect.
Is assassination in public still called assassination?
Without a trial, the wanton massacre of government officials is not something that should be done even for the pharaoh.
This is why these officials have agreed and participated in this meeting.
Of course, the fundamental reason is their fear of assassination ability—in their view, this meeting means that His Royal Highness is trying to use the aftermath of the assassination to gain power. After that, such an assassination should not happen again After all, if such accidents occur again and again, even the pharaoh will be rejected by others.
The act of assassination, no matter in which civilized society, is an act that violates the bottom line of human beings.
And without this kind of deterrence, these officials will let Nitocris have a taste of their strength, and taste the feeling of being ostracized again.
Politics is not something that a naive little girl like you can afford.
But now they realize that they were wrong.
The little girl in their eyes is actually a real ruler who is cruel enough.
She never paid attention to their little calculations.
Because her plan from the very beginning was to cut grass and roots.
They thought that His Highness the Pharaoh could do nothing with them in broad daylight, but in fact, Nitocris wanted to wipe them all out in broad daylight.
They thought that without them, there would be no one to maintain the institutions of the government, and that they were essential to the full functioning of the Egyptian administration, so Nitocris could not bypass them at all.
But they were wrong again. In fact, under Ye Ting's suggestion, Nitocris had already made up her mind to break through and build up. She would never allow these corrupt factors to have any further impact on the Egyptian dynasty. .
As for losing them, how will the government function?
Sorry, it's hard to find people who want to move bricks, and there are as many people who want to be officials.
However, even if they are aware of Nitocris' calculations, what can they do now?
On the outskirts of the square, the Egyptian people surrounded them three layers in and three layers out, and they had nowhere to escape.
