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

Since these people are not bad guys on the surface, they at least won't be opposed by the people—however, no one knows how they, who never make extra money, have accumulated wealth that cannot be supported by their salary alone.

In the eyes of these people, Nitocris's decision is like telling them face to face that the rights left by these dead powers are yours.

The ridicule is naturally aimed at Nitocris's whimsical.

In their view, Nitocris tried to use her prestige among the people to interfere in the promotion of officials. It was indeed a wonderful move. After all, although her own power was emptied, few senior officials would obey her orders.

But her prestige among the people is extremely great, and the influence among the people directly affects the army-you know, most of Memphis's army came from the people of Memphis and nearby villages. In this era, with the exception of some elite professional troops, all garrisons cannot be composed of people who are thousands of miles away from home.

With the current social system in Egypt, it is impossible to afford as 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 grasped the common people, is naturally tantamount to grabbing this group of troops. In this way, even if no officials obey her orders, but now they can only temporarily compromise with her, obey her, and let her To determine the distribution of the highest power.

But what about it?

These officials deeply know that even if Nitocris has the power to control the promotion channels, but under the current circumstances, if all potential competitors are not hers, what is the difference between such power and not? ?

Egypt today 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.

In addition to the grassroots bureaucrats who are ignorant and ignorant of loyalty to the pharaoh, those bureaucrats who have a certain status, without exception, have become vested interests who rob the pharaoh of power.

Today's Egypt has long changed from the original feudal king system to a system similar to the senate and aristocratic council. Under this system, the pharaohs are just human skin seals, and all the people below are stunned, making it impossible for the pharaoh to go out of the palace under the orders of the pharaoh.

In this case, to whom does Nitocris assign the highest power, is there a difference?

Anyway, any candidate wants to take her off, doesn't it?

It is impossible for her to directly choose a flat-headed person to occupy a high position-not to mention whether such a decision can be convinced, ordinary people can't afford this responsibility at all.

Of course, in the process, she might still arrange one or two of her own people in those vacant positions. After all, there are still a small number of people who end up as pharaohs and end up as traditional ministers in the Egyptian bureaucracy.

After all, unlike the previous pharaoh, Nitocris has mastered a powerful secret force, able to perform sharp assassinations, and wooed the people and the grassroots army, so that it is justified for her to restore part of her power.

However, everything ends here.

In the face of a completely corrupt bureaucratic system, how you struggle is useless. Even if all the new high-ranking officials are finally pharaohs, but they are one level lower than them, and the people who work for them are corrupt, then their power is fundamental. It's just a castle in the air that can't be passed on.

Even if the high-level officials satisfied by the people are elected, if the high-level officials satisfied by the officials are not selected, then such appointments will be futile.

Even the Pharaoh can't fight against the entire bureaucracy, can it?

With this idea, Memphis officials also came to the scene, waiting for the Pharaoh to come.

Chapter 0834 Nitocris's Speech

While pulling the sun boat all the way to the top of people's heads, Nitocris was finally long overdue.

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

There is a throne decorated with gold, which is her seat, and the people in the whole square can see her.

With the appearance of Nitocris, the densely surrounded people all boiled.

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 gathering.

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

They look forward to the Pharaoh's turn around the chaos, turn things around, and let the now chaotic Egypt prosper again and restore its past glory.

They look forward to the pharaoh's removal of all past excessive taxes, punishment of corruption and malfeasance, so that they can live a better life.

The cheers and expectations of the people, Nitocris sees it, and remembers it in her heart.

Being able to receive such cheers from the heart, Nitocris said that being unhappy was false, but from this, she felt a deep responsibility.

At this moment, she thought of Thoth, what the man from a foreign country had told her, the power from the people, and the people's rather simple and simple expectations.

"The requirements of the people are very simple, that is, to have a bite of food and live on. As long as such requirements can be met, even if other aspects are harsh, the people can tolerate them and endure silently... But once this The simplest requirement cannot be met, then the people who have worked hard and bitterly will rise up. At that time, they who have been bullied by others will burst out with the power to destroy everything, and any kingdom will be extremely vulnerable to this power."

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

The ultimate consequence is that Egypt’s ancient kingdom was destroyed in this way.

Although today's Nito Kris does not know all this, this does not prevent 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 let the people in front of Dousheng live better.

Not to mention Nitocris' reaction on stage.

Such a scene of cheering by the people undoubtedly changed the appearance of all the officials in the audience.

Although most of them have a consensus on what is going to happen, and do not think that the pharaoh can regain power by appointing officials this time, the terrible outbursts of the people today and their fanatical support for the pharaoh still let these officials Deeply shocked.

"It seems that in the future, we must never give that little girl a chance," a financial officer said seriously to his colleagues. "Look at these stupid ass. If you let that girl fool them into something, Maybe we will be in big trouble!"

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

However, they did not know that today's meeting was not the beginning, but the end.

On the high platform, Nitocris waved his hands in response to the cheers of the people, and then slowly took a seat.

On her left, stood a handsome man in a robe. Officials all knew that this was the exotic bard who was favored by this female pharaoh in recent times, Thoth.

As the court ladies said, this stranger from a foreign country was indeed handsome and elegant, but none of the officials present dared to look down upon him.

In their view, 80% of the assassination that night was in the hands of this foreign visitor-after all, it sneaked into other people's homes like a ghost, knocked everyone out without being discovered, and then killed the target. This way they I have never seen it in Egypt in the past.

On the spot, many people decided to drive away this guy in the name of a "foreign liar" and a "seduce the pharaoh's evil man" once they have power. If so, it must be restricted by social rules.

No one was standing on the right hand of Nitocris. Even during this time, after hearing the rumors of the killer, almost all of the court ladies in the court cried and confessed crazily in front of Nitocris, Nitocris. Silk didn't really trust any of them either.

However, what no one sees is that a **** is standing here in an invisible state.

It was Mejed.

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

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

"Everyone, be quiet--"

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

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