Chapter 307: Pharaoh’s Name in Exchange for Property

One thousand six hundred BC.

The far east in this era was either ruled by Xia Jie, the last emperor of the Xia Dynasty, or the Shang Dynasty had been established by Shang Tang.

Under the rule of the Xia Dynasty or the Shang Dynasty, aristocratic slavery was also practiced in China.

Although the king of Xia or the king of Shang was nominally the co-owner of Liuhe and Bahuang, and all the princes in the world were the king's subjects, in fact the princes were only the king's nominal subjects.

As long as the princes are strong enough, they can defeat the king and replace the king as the new co-lord of the world.

Shang Tang was originally just a prince who submitted to the Xia king. He established the Shang Dynasty and became the king by defeating Xia Jie.

Six hundred years later, Ji Fa, a vassal of Emperor Xin of the Shang Dynasty, also defeated the Shang Dynasty in a war and established the Zhou Dynasty.

In Egypt in this era, the Pharaoh was also the nominal co-owner of each city-state.

As long as these city-states are strong enough, they can replace the old pharaohs and become the new pharaohs.

The city-states did not express any objection to Nafir's desire to inherit the throne and become pharaoh, not only because Nafir did not harm their interests, but also because the city-states did not have the strength to resist Nafir.

The city of Thebes is the largest city-state in southern Egypt.

As long as Nafir is not hostile to all the city-states, and Nafir controls the city of Thebes, her throne will be as stable as a mountain.

It is precisely because the city of Thebes is so important that before leaving the city, Nafir arranged for three consuls to jointly manage the city of Thebes on the advice of Roy, and also arranged for three generals and fifteen thousand Thousands of troops were stationed in Thebes to prevent the rule of Thebes from being taken away by a certain family.

After making all arrangements, Nafir immediately led an army of 120,000 people and headed for Itawui City in a mighty manner.

At the front of the army that looked like a long dragon was Nafir's luxurious carriage.

The carriage was pulled by four horses, and the carriage was as huge as a room.

Roy lived with Nafir and Andromeda in a carriage carriage. Not only could he sleep on the soft bed, Nafir could also receive envoys from various city-states in the carriage.

At this time, in the carriage, Nafir and Andromeda were chatting and laughing about girls.

Seeing that their relationship was getting better and better, and seemed to be developing into best friends, Roy had been hesitating about one thing - letting Nafir know the identity of Camos' murderer.

Although Nafir knew that the murderer of Camos was Andromeda's uncle Phineus, the boat of her friendship with Andromeda would definitely capsize immediately, but let Nafir do it without knowing it. Next, becoming best friends with Andromeda was even more cruel to Nafir.

Just when Roy was about to speak, the driver driving outside the carriage suddenly said.

"Princess Nefer! There is a messenger from the Temple of Horus who wants to see you."

"Let the messengers from the Temple of Horus come in!"

After Nafir agreed to receive the envoy, a middle-aged priest entered the carriage, knelt down in front of Nafir and said.

"Princess Nefer, I bring you the blessing of Horus, and I have something important to discuss with you."

The messenger from the Temple of Horus was not the first temple messenger that Nafir received.

Since Nafir left the city of Thebes with his army, several envoys from various temples have asked to see Nafir.

Seeing the respectful attitude of the messenger from the Temple of Horus, Nafir said with a satisfied smile.

"I accept the blessing of God Horus! Your Excellency, messenger, just tell us your purpose!"

After hearing Nafir's request, the messenger was stunned and said.

"Princess Nefer! The great Horus was not only the patron saint of Hierakonpolis, but also the patron saint of southern Egypt before the establishment of the First Dynasty. Now Princess Nefer wants to let other gods replace Amun. To become the protector of the country, is it possible to consider making the great Horus the new protector of the country? The goddess Sekhmet is the deity of northern Egypt after all, and only the gods of southern Egypt can truly protect the southern Egyptians.”

Nafir drove the god Amun from the throne of the Protector God, which allowed other gods to see the opportunity to ascend the throne of the Protector God.

Although they knew the hope was slim, various temples still sent envoys to persuade Nafir to worship their gods as protectors of the country.

Before receiving the envoys from the Temple of Horus, Nafir had already received the envoys from the Temple of Hathor, the Temple of Anubis, the Temple of Upuot and other temples, and rejected their requests.

Hearing the same words said by the messenger from the Temple of Horus, Nafir immediately refused.

"Your Majesty the Messenger, I am the queen who rules the whole of Egypt. The northern Egyptians are also my people. I have equal respect for the gods of northern Egypt and the gods of southern Egypt, so I will not change my ways to let Sekhmet The idea of ​​a goddess becoming a protector of the country.”

Although Nafir's rejection was expected, the messenger couldn't help but say with a disappointed expression.

"Princess Nefer! Then after you ascend the throne and become the female pharaoh, will you order the restoration or construction of a new Temple of Horus?"

In the history of ancient Egypt, in addition to building pyramid tombs for themselves, the pharaohs of the past dynasties also spent a lot of manpower and material resources to build temples to gain support from various temples.

Various temples can also use the temples built for them by the pharaoh to enhance the authority of the temple.

After thousands of years, it has become almost a tradition to repair or build new temples for various temples.

Seeing Nafir's troubled expression, Roy immediately spoke.

"Your Excellency the Envoy! In order to fight the Hyksos, Princess Nefer has no money to build the temple. If the Horus Temple can offer money to Princess Nefer, Princess Nefer is willing to repair the Horus Temple in the name of the Pharaoh, or build a new Horus Temple."

Let the Horus Temple pay for the repair or construction of a new temple-

It is impossible to say that the Horus Temple cannot afford this money.

It's just that each temple is used to asking the Pharaoh to pay for the repair or construction of the temple for them.

Because Nefer has the righteousness to fight the Hyksos, the envoy can only say helplessly.

"If Princess Nefer is willing to repair the temple for our Horus Temple in the name of the Pharaoh, I believe the high priest of the Horus Temple will agree to offer money."

After the envoy of the Horus Temple left, Nefer immediately smiled.

"Roy! You actually thought of asking each temple to pay for the repair or construction of a new temple, and from their reaction, they are not unacceptable."

"Because compared to their property, they want to use the name of the Pharaoh to enhance the authority of the temple."

Roy said confidently.

"If there is really a temple that offers us property, we must fleece him and make the name of the Pharaoh worthwhile."

After saying that, Roy looked at Andromeda beside Nefer.

After hesitating for a while, Roy finally decided to temporarily conceal the relationship between the murderer who killed Kamose and Andromeda from Nefer.

When he returned to Itavi City and was about to take Andromeda back to the Kingdom of Athens, he would tell Nefer about the murderer who killed Kamose.
