Chapter 676
Among the soldiers maintaining order, many officers were indeed bribed by them, but in this case, it was impossible for the officers to violate Pharaoh's order face to face.
As for Pharaoh himself, not only is she a strong person, but she also has a suspected "Master Assassin" beside her. It is obviously impossible to solve the problem by controlling Pharaoh.
As a result, they could only sit tremblingly in their original positions, praying while waiting to die, and Nitocris's speech was just talking.
At this time, Nitocris's speech was still going on.
"People of Egypt, do you know? In the past, how much I wanted to change all this. I love this country, and I love you as the people of Egypt! I want to abolish many redundant taxes, and many conveniences I want to implement the policies I want to implement, I want to punish many heinous people, I want to do many things to make this country rich and strong again, and make you happy-but I couldn't do it in the past, why is that?"
"Because for a long time, my decree could not even leave the palace. In other words-if there were no sudden deaths of these sinners, I would have been a puppet emptied by ministers."
Chapter 0836 Public Trial Conference
To be honest, admitting that he was ostracized by the minister is usually something that a pharaoh should not say.
Why is this?
Because Pharaoh was the son of Horus, the incarnation of the gods on earth.
In other words, in the eyes of the common people, Pharaoh was like a god.
Just like the sanctification of noble blood in the Middle Ages in Europe, and the theory of the Son of Heaven in the East, although such statements were true in the Age of Gods, they were also the basis for the feudal system to maintain its rule.
After all, if you don't say what the destiny is, why should I listen to you and be your subject?
However, there was nothing wrong with Nitocris saying that now.
The reason lies in the incredible assassination.
In the eyes of the common people, it was God's judgment on corrupt officials, and it was also a symbol of Pharaoh's status as the Son of God.
After all, if Pharaoh wasn't the son of Horus, why would Horus judge these sinners for you?
It is precisely because of this that big revelations like Nitocris did not interfere with her own sanctity. Instead, everyone began to feel that the death of these corrupt officials was the price for wantonly deceiving a son of God.
Nitocris continued.
"Until now, this situation has only been slightly eased, because it is not one or two people who want to take me away and take away my power as a pharaoh, but almost the entire bureaucratic system!"
"Their ultimate goal is to completely seize the power of the pharaoh in their own hands, so what does this mean? Only I, the pharaoh of Egypt, can protect your interests, and when I completely lose power, you will be reduced to What kind of field?!"
"My dearest people! Imposing the pharaoh is only the first step of their conspiracy - even a trivial first step!
Their real purpose is to completely control the whole of Egypt and make everyone their slaves!
A series of policies beneficial to the people formulated by the great pharaohs in the past will be overthrown! That's exactly why they want to depose the Pharaoh! "
This news is too shocking for the common people.
If there are only one or two bureaucrats, or some corrupters, they will believe it more-or, they have always believed it to be so.
But the whole government conspired to depose the pharaoh and exploit the country, which is unbelievable no matter how you think about it.
"How is that possible!? They already have so many things!"
Under the stage, an Egyptian said loudly: "The food their dogs eat is superior to ours. Why do they still want to take away our bad-tasting black bread?!"
"Because they are greedy! Because of the endless greed in their hearts!" Nitocris replied loudly: "These corrupt noble officials are the most greedy guys in the world. They are like pigs, whether it is delicacies or The rotten water can be eaten!"
"In the past, their ancestors also followed the Pharaoh to fight in all directions and unify Egypt. This is why they were able to gain status and power at first, but as time went by, they became corrupt and depraved. They only had themselves in their hearts. interests, no Pharaoh, no people, no Egypt."
"They first seized the power to become bureaucrats. Didn't you realize that for a long time, the entire bureaucratic system was occupied by them. The sons of nobles are still nobles, and the sons of officials are still officials. Even if ordinary people are lucky enough to become bureaucrats, Instruments have also basically lost their upward path.”
"And that's not enough for them. They want more."
"Wealth, any wealth! Even a penny of wealth is plunder to them! They may feed their dogs the most precious food in the world, and they will take theirs from the poorest Egyptians." One last copper, and make this man their slave!"
Nitocris' words are believed by most of the common people.
After all, what she said was largely true, and perhaps some details were exaggerated.
But as long as people think about what Nitocris said, they will find that everything Pharaoh said is true.
The fixed class, the nobles who have been rulers for generations, the greedy exploitation...
You know, in Egypt, the only
The only one who can be the ruler of the eternal line is the pharaoh line.
"Damn it!" the people shouted. "Let them step down! Depose them!"
Today, the officials sitting under the stage are already shaking like chaff.
Stared at by tens of thousands of disgusted, angry, and contemptuous eyes, even if the source of these eyes is the small people of Dousheng who they looked down on at all in the past, they are full of fear now.
And what about the guards responsible for maintaining order?
Ordinary soldiers were angry. They thought that they were quite unqualified as soldiers, as Pharaoh's fighters, because they felt that they had been deceived by these officials. Pharaoh didn't say it himself, they didn't know how long they would be concealed.
Now, if it weren't for the duty of maintaining order, they even wanted to step forward in person and use their sharp swords to give those officials a good look.
And what about their commanders.
Many of these people were bought off a long time ago, but now seeing the angry expressions of the people and the eagerness of their subordinates, they are naturally panicked, wishing that all the yellow orange gold they got back then would disappear.
As for the promise made to the officials at the beginning, of course it never happened.
Standing on the high platform, looking at the fear-filled officials and excited people below, Nitocris understood that her goal had been achieved.
So, she finally revealed her ultimate goal.
"People of Egypt, as a puppet pharaoh who does not have government orders in the palace, the only way for me to change the situation is to seek help from you who have always been loyal to me."
"As the people of Ra, you have united Upper and Lower Egypt under the leadership of the Pharaohs. You have built magnificent tombs and sculptures. You have made countless great achievements that even the Nine Pillars are amazed by! And today , It's your turn to contribute to this great country again!"
"We will always be Pharaoh's loyal servants!" Pharaoh's approval made them cheer.
"People of Egypt! Are you willing to become slaves to the tyranny of officials?!" Nitocris asked loudly.
"Of course we don't want to!"
"Do you want those fat-brained greedy nobles to take away your last copper coin?!"
"Of course we don't want to!"
"Very good! Are you willing to judge these sinners for your bread, your beer, your private property, your estates, manors, slaves, wealth, the glory of Pharaoh and Egypt?!"
The people of Memphis cheered. The tens of thousands of Egyptians who gathered in the square before and just came after hearing the news cheered and roared, and the sound waves could even overturn the tall pillars of the palace——
"Willing! Willing! Willing! We will!"
