All the top dignitaries in Egypt all died at home overnight. Such a thing has never happened in the past. For the people of Egypt, this is simply a fantasy. It really happened, and rumors soon spread. .

Some say that the death of these dignitaries was a warning from God to Pharaoh because of the chaos in Egypt today.

Some people say that some of the recent policies of these powerful people have offended a certain god, and that death is the punishment of the god.

There are even more rumors that the death of Mailaran II was not actually an accident, but a murder. The deaths of these people were the revenge given by the Pharaoh's patron saint, Horus.

Etc., etc.

Among the common people, rumors were noisy, but the most widely circulated were rumors about the murder of Merlaran II and the revenge of the god Horus.

Originally, although the high-level Egyptians knew the cause of the death of Meraran II, they concealed this fact from the people. The official news was that Meraran II died of old age.

After all, although these high-ranking officials dared to murder the pharaoh, they did not dare to let the ordinary people in Egypt understand all this. After all, in the eyes of those ignorant ordinary people, the pharaoh was the descendant of the gods and the god who walked on the earth.

They can die of old age, and they can die in various ways, but they must not be killed by other people, especially their ministers.

Otherwise, it will only be them who are hated by the people.

Today, however, this fact, which has been kept in the dust for several years, has somehow begun to spread, and is soon believed by many people.

If it was in the past, when those powerful people were still alive, they would naturally be alert to this and try to block the rumors.

However, now that the masters of the rumors are dead, and Memphis is in chaos because of the vacancy of power, who can stop the spread of rumors?

In fact, the source of the rumors was Ye Ting.

It was also part of his plan with Nitocris.

This is for Nitocris to regain power in Egypt after completing the murder, to prevent those powerful party members from taking revenge on the pharaoh after the death of their boss, or to replace them with a countermeasure to re-establish the pharaoh.

You must know that murdering the previous generation of pharaohs, supporting the new pharaohs and using them as puppets is not something that can be done by one or two, or all the upper-level dignitaries colluding.

In order to complete such a major event that subverts Egyptian traditions, although these dignitaries have sufficient power, they must also have a group of partisans to cheer for them, and at the same time be responsible for the details of many plans.

For a long time, there were three powers ruling Egypt - pharaohs, ministers and priests, who represented kingship, ministerial power and theocratic power respectively.

Among them, since the pharaoh has the identity of the descendant of the gods, a large part of the divine power is in the hands of the pharaoh. In this case, the ministers and priests are only the servants of the pharaoh, and they are allowed to take whatever they want.

However, from the time of Peppi Pharaoh, the usurping power of the powerful, in essence, the union of ministers and priests, suppressed the kingship through theocratic and ministerial powers.

It's not easy, but once it's done, it's hard to reverse.

Because these usurpers and henchmen represent the power of the priestly and official classes.

Therefore, if Nitocris does not handle it properly, even if she succeeds in revenge and kills those usurpers, power will continue to be held by the successors - they are not alone, several people are fighting, but a whole class.

So, what should Nitocris do to prevent this from happening?

To be honest, although Ye Ting has never sat on the throne, he does hold a high position in several worlds. Coupled with the accumulation of knowledge from thousands of years in modern society, Ye Ting is definitely better than Nitocris in terms of fighting for power and profit. Come sharp.

He deeply knew that if Nitocris wanted to truly gain power, even if she was a strong person, plus his help, it was not enough.

Even if Ye Ting alone could kill all the ministers and priests in Egypt, so what?

That would only lead to more troubles, such as God's punishment, such as people's incomprehension, such as no one to handle government affairs and so on.

Game of Thrones doesn't play that way.

If Nitocris wants to regain power, she must have enough supporters—that is, the basic disk of power.

So since the succession to the throne, it has been vacated. Does Nitocris have her own power base?

Nitocris didn't think so, after all, she couldn't find a palace maid she could completely trust.

But Ye Ting told him that she has such a basic plan, and this basic plan is far stronger than she imagined.

This basic plate is the people of Egypt.

One of the things that was well known in Egypt was that Pharaoh was the Son of God, the incarnation of God, the man-god of the earth.

In the eyes of the people, the pharaohs are great beings comparable to the gods.

It is for this reason that these ministers did not dare to disclose the news of the murder of Merlaran II.

It is also for this reason that even if Nitocris is overridden by the officials and has no real power, her prestige among the people is unmatched by those officials and priests combined.

Even in recent years, Egypt has been messed up by these conspirators, and the people are complaining, but Nitocris's own behavior has made the people have a lot of goodwill towards this female pharaoh.

She pays attention to the national economy and people's livelihood, strives to develop the country's economy, and at the same time persuades farmers to cultivate, and personally supervises the cultivation when the Nile River overflows. This behavior has given her an image of being close to the people. In the hearts of the people, she has always been a good pharaoh. But it is a problem left by the pharaohs of the past, and the current ministers are not able to do it.

No way, like some people in the East, the people of Egypt usually think that the king is a good person when they argue with current affairs, and the starting point is all good, because the people below are bad and so on.

Especially if this king is willing to make a show.

Don't get me wrong, this does not mean that Nitocris's behavior is a show, but in this era, it is indeed rare for her to walk into the people in person. Self-imposed identity.

However, it was this behavior they despised, and the original mass base of the pharaoh's identity, that gave Nitocris an unimaginable fame.

Chapter 0832 The general trend

Perhaps it is a common problem of people of this era.

They respect the strong and fear the king, but they always ignore the power of the most basic and weakest people.

In their view, the so-called power struggle only unfolds between those in power, and the common people have no way to speak up or participate in it - the common people are just the objects of what they ask for.

This is why, after usurping power, they did not cut off the prestige of the pharaoh among the people through public opinion, and established their own prestige at the same time.
