From Concubine to Pharaoh [Transmigration Book]

After the selection of the temple, Fei Lin hurried to the hotel without caring about celebrating with his wife and family.

The moment Feilin saw the ball painted with his family's symbol being lifted up by the attendant in front of the god for the first time, Feilin was naturally overwhelmed by endless joy.

But once the excitement faded away and he calmed down, Feilin felt something stuck in his throat and couldn't vomit.

Therefore, he rushed to the hotel as quickly as possible, intending to meet the Divine Envoy and explain his views to her before listening to the oracle with the other two new priests.

"Master Amon, the envoy of God, the reason why I came to see you in such a hurry is to tell you that what I have always wanted is true fairness."

Alicia nodded when she heard the words: "I promised you, you will get..."

Before she could finish her sentence, she heard Feilin hurried on. There was an uncontrollable excitement and anxiety in the young man's voice: "Obviously, you must have managed to find the first priest today... you found Platu. They are specially set up organs."

"Yes—" Alicia nodded unemotionally.

"Then you cracked Plato's mechanism?" Ferrin asked with a frown.

"Yes—" Alicia replied with great interest.She seemed to find something interesting in the young man's attitude.

"Then you made your choice, you pushed Roach to the position of the first priest, and then you promoted me... Finally, you arranged for your personal, High Priest of God Tut to enter the three-person discussion group?"

Feilin raised his face, his eyes were not only seeking proof, but also a little questioning.

"Yes—" So far, Erich has fully understood the psychology of young people, so she smiled happily.

"So this is still not fair!"

Feilin opened his eyes wide, and said in a tone of anger or regret.

"You know the other party's insidious intentions and cheating methods. So you used the same means as the other party to achieve your own goals-have you ever thought that in this way, you and Platu are actually the same breed, You are all the same."

"Filin..." Ailixi picked up the clay pot placed on the low table in front of her, took a sip, then raised her head again, and looked at the young second priest with a smile, "You came to me in such a big way The question is, do you really feel that this is unfair to the other candidates for the priests, or do you feel that you were chosen not by the gods, but because I, a woman, made my own decisions, so my self-esteem was hurt?"

Feilin's frank face that belonged to a young man suddenly turned red. He paused for a long time before taking a deep breath, and said frankly, "Both."

Alicia clapped her hands lightly: "What an honest answer."

"I'm a little surprised that you figured this out so quickly. And I'm so relieved that you rushed to me and asked these questions."

Feilin lowered his head, not daring to look at the face of the woman in front of him.

It is also very strange to say that the envoy of Amon and the first princess in front of him is indeed a beautiful woman, glamorous and charming.

But he just couldn't look at her like he looked at Mushana, and most of the time he could only look away—

It seems that her eyebrows, her expression, her sitting posture, and any of her subtle manners make people feel unparalleled pressure...

In other words, he had no resistance at all, and had to obey, respect, and follow—these were the only words Ferlin could think of when he sat in front of Erich.

"You came to beg me last night. I promised you to bring real justice to this city."

"What happened in the Temple of Amon today is just the first step."

"You and the High Priest were indeed elected by me using those people's organs. But the purpose of electing you is to dissolve the existing three-member council."

"Disband?"

In any case, Ferring never thought that this would be the result.But if you think about it carefully, it is true. The three-person council controls all the affairs of Thebes, and there are many problems, and they cannot be changed.

The best way is to directly disband the council and reform the governance and decision-making model of Thebes.

And this is what he can do as soon as he joins hands with the priest of Tut God.Even Roach objected and couldn't stop it.

"My suggestion is that you select yourself from various representative groups to form a 13-member council to jointly make decisions on major issues in Thebes."

"The 13-member council?" Fei Lin took a breath, feeling that this matter seemed to be getting more and more complicated.

But he had been exposed to the decision-making process of various deliberative groups in Thebes since he was a child, and he immediately understood the key points.

"This... this seems to work—"

"Of course..." Alicia replied with a smile, "And Roach dare not object."

Does Roach dare to object?——Filin suddenly laughed dumbfounded when he thought about it: After such an incident today, a rift arose in the original three-member council, and Roach offended the other two.

Only by expanding the three-person council and allowing the other two to rejoin the council can the anger of the other two be calmed down.

"When the three-member council is disbanded, they will find that it is not easy to enter the 13-member council."

Ai Lixi told her plan one by one, Ferlin was both horrified and admired, he didn't dare to say anything, he could only follow Ai Lixi's train of thought, answer her questions one by one, and tell her about the city. various details.

And Elyse revealed her plan for the 13-member council.Who should be included in this deliberation, and what classes of representatives should be included;

What does the chairman of the deliberation group do, and how should he take turns; what kind of full discussion should be conducted when encountering decisions, how to express opinions, how to vote, and what the voting results mean...

Everything that Ai Lixi said made Ferlin extremely astonished.

But the more he listened, the more confident he became, he couldn't help but straighten his body in front of Elyse, and said loudly: "My lord envoy, until now, I finally believe that you will indeed bring us true justice."

In Film's view, the procedure of procedure is the source of true fairness if the interests of all parties are taken into account, rather than enriching the pockets of one or two small groups.

Erich spent a long time explaining her idea to Ferrin.At some point, the high priest Senmut also came to the side of the low table where Erich was sitting in the hall of the hotel, and he didn't speak, just sat beside Filin and listened silently.

While listening to Alicia's words, small golden patterns and symbols flashed in his eyes, as if he was searching for relevant content in the palace of knowledge he owned, but found nothing.

But Senmut was not surprised. While remembering what Ai Lixi said, his eyes were soft, and he looked at Ai Lixi who was sitting upright and eloquent. There was a look of admiration in his eyes, as if to say: This is probably what the gods said. Give knowledge.

Ailixi and Ferlin talked about it, and the chat was very lively, until it was completely dark, and all the lights inside and outside the hotel were lit.

"In order to ensure fairness, do you have an idea of ​​how to form the 13-member council?"

In order for Erich's idea to succeed and break the monopoly of the priests of the Karnak Temple on Thebes' government affairs, it is necessary to select people of insight from all walks of life and various interest groups in Thebes.

No matter how smart Senmut is, he can't do this. It can only be done by a local snake like Filin.

Preparing for this event required a lot of complicated preparation, and it was easy to encounter setbacks.Therefore, it is necessary to choose young people with ambition and drive, so as not to shrink back immediately when encountering difficulties.

Ailixi chose Filin after careful consideration, not all because of the cuteness of him and Mushana, a young couple.

After Erich's explanation, Ferlin fully understood the meaning and difficulty of the plan, and expressed his determination on the spot with a firm expression.

Finally, the young man asked cautiously: "My lord envoy, I still have one thing to ask..."

"In this way, today's temple selection, do I count as being chosen by the gods?"

Alixi didn't expect that he was still struggling with this, and almost laughed on the spot.But she can understand that this answer is obviously very important to young people who carry the ideals and glory of their families.

So she thought about it for a while, nodded solemnly, and said, "Forget it—under certain conditions, you are chosen by the gods."

The specific conditions she mentioned naturally meant that God Amon did not exist.Rather, she was trying to establish the prerequisite for her faith in the name of Amon.Anyway, Ferrin was her chosen one.

Hearing this answer, Ferring immediately saluted and thanked Elyse with a smile on his face.

Senmut, as usual, didn't say anything, just listened.

After seeing off Feilin for a while, Erich sat in front of the short table and meditated silently.

To her, Thebes was a real world tens of times and hundreds of times bigger than the isolated desert village.

And what's interesting is that it seems that nearly 100 years have been prepared for the coming of the new gods here——

From legends, to temple architecture, to the clergy and their methods of discussion, the entire Thebes has gradually built up an empty shell of belief in the god Amon over the long years.

A veritable empty shell.

After all, the people here only believe in a puppet. The Thebes have a majestic and huge Karnak Temple and a temple priest organization with privileges.But their beliefs are still just empty shells.

It seems that this empty shell has been waiting for Erich for a long time, just to see if she has the ability to really establish faith, let the people of Thebes believe in the system she established for them, the way she pointed out, and the hand-drawn for them. dream.

Thinking of this, Alixie has a headache: she is not a god after all... she is just an angel.

She still needs to accumulate Baba and respect before she can be promoted to a priest of God, and she has to continue to accumulate faith before she can be promoted to a demigod, and above that, she doesn't even know what she needs to accumulate and what she can become...

Thinking of this, Alixi had a serious face, turned her head, and glanced at Senmut.

Senmut was staring at her very intently, as if he was looking at an ancient scroll that could never be fully deciphered.

Alice was a little surprised.But her eyes moved down immediately, and happened to land on the baboon amulet worn by Senmuth on his chest.

That being the case, Senmut would never guess what troubled her—

Erich's mood suddenly improved again, she immediately raised the corners of her mouth, and said to Senmut: "High Priest, thank you for agreeing to my request to be the third priest of Thebes."

She still remembers the astonished expression on the other side's face when she made the request to Senmut just now.

But astonished astonished, Senmut immediately agreed to her request.

"However, even if I arrange for the dissolution of the three-person council soon, you still need to stay in Thebes for a while. Will this not affect your exploration of the ancient ruins of the Old Kingdom?"

She still remembered that when Senmut asked to come to Upper Egypt with her, he used the pretext of visiting ancient sites.

Senmut didn't react immediately when he heard Alicia's words.He remained silent, staring directly at Elyse, a series of small and complicated golden symbols flashed quickly in his eyes.

He seems to be still digesting the whole content of the conversation between Ailixi and Ferlin just now, the dissolution of the council, the real fairness... This seems to be a distant and strange thing to the palace of knowledge he has.

It wasn't until Erich repeated her question again that Senmut suddenly woke up, and faced Erich with mocking eyes.

"Reporting to Her Royal Highness, your Temple of Amon is the historic site that I want to explore."

The next day, Karnak Temple, the residence of the first priest.

The former First Priest Plato still lives here.Although theoretically it has become the residence of his former subordinate, the third priest Roach.

Together with Alba, the former second priest, he was anxiously waiting for the news of Roach's return.

Last night, the three priests had gathered together to discuss countermeasures and discussed the whole night, and there was a conflict during the discussion, and the three of them fought. Until now, Platu's face is still full of color, and the corner of his eye is twitching. It hurt like hell.

But surprisingly, they waited for a long time, and the two priests were already impatient, and Roach hadn't come back yet.

"The third child wouldn't have taken refuge in that envoy directly." Alba said doubtfully.

Fortunately, as soon as he finished speaking, Roach came back. He was shocked and bewildered all the way. When he entered the door, he stumbled on the threshold and fell forward, almost knocking his front teeth.

"Third brother, don't pretend to be mean! If you have something to say, speak quickly."

Plato and Alba only thought that this was Roach's way of avoiding inquiries, and they reached out together and lifted Roach up.

But I saw that Roach was really at a loss.He looked around at the two in front of him, grabbed Plato's clothes as soon as he reached out, and said, "Boss, tell me, they clearly won the majority of the three-member council, but why did they refuse to take it?" ?”
