From Concubine to Pharaoh [Transmigration Book]

Elyse had been in spiritual contact with Soran when Delos indicated that Soran could be readmitted.

So she can share Soran's senses, see what he can see, hear what he hears, and be able to read Soran's thoughts.

In fact, it is not difficult to understand the pharaoh's next plan. Erich herself can spy on the royal court of Memphis through the Eye of Horus, and understand what the pharaoh and his courtiers are talking about and what orders they have issued.

But in this case she can only observe in silence, unable to participate or exert influence.

With Solan around, the situation is quite different.She can affect Solan's state of mind to a certain extent, just like just now, she just slightly suppressed the pride that Solan always puts first in his heart, allowing him to maintain a normal heart just like herself.

Suo Ran was able to express his heart to Pharaoh without any psychological burden, so that Pharaoh quickly accepted him again.

Elyse needs someone who can participate in Pharaoh's plan, and more importantly, someone who can influence Pharaoh.

But she now realizes that perhaps the high priest Dahor is the one who really has influence on Pharaoh Delos——

Because she also used the Eye of Horus at the same time, so that her vision is not limited to what Soran sees and hears.

So she saw the eye contact between Tylos and Dahor at the moment Soran lowered his head.

Delos actually confirmed it to Dahor once, and then he spoke, welcoming Solan back as a general.

In addition, Erich had perceived Solan's mental activities before.Therefore, I learned that in Memphis, the most obedient person of Pharaoh is actually the seemingly mediocre priest Dahor.

Why didn't she think that the great priest Dahor would become the favored person of God Amon?

Erich secretly complained in her heart. After all, as a favored person, Solan was so disobedient, which gave her a little headache.

But having said that, the great priest Dahor is too oily and too refined. He is not a person who can follow a certain god devoutly. Erich never believed that this father could really worship anyone. the gods.

"I invite you to come here today to discuss the affairs of the country, and I hope you can express your opinions and speak freely."

Pharaoh Delos made a start.

Erich noticed that not only the high priest and his son were summoned by the pharaoh, but also Iago, the head of the royal treasurer, and several important officials of Nome in Memphis and Lower Egypt.

Under the pharaoh's call, these people took a step forward, surrounded the long table with the map of the whole territory of Egypt, followed the pharaoh's instructions, and looked at the map.

She felt Solan's heartbeat quicken, and heard this guy secretly muttering in her heart: Well, the border army is also marked on this map.

Following Solan's gaze, Erich looked at the location on the map that belonged to the border army—it was still in Mahalla, and it was the border army station that was originally guarding against the Hittite army.

Erich breathed a sigh of relief—Egypt's most elite border army did not leave Mahalla, but stayed where it was, and was not transferred to the border between Upper and Lower Egypt as many people in Upper Egypt had imagined.

"The Thebes openly summon the Noms of Upper Egypt to revolt."

Pharaoh said this with a blank face, and the culprit, Erich, became an ordinary Thebes in his mouth, which caused a laugh in Solan's heart.

But Soran still expressed his understanding of Delos's excuse in his heart——

Everyone is a man, if it was Solan, he would not be able to say that his sister had betrayed him.

Alice, who could always sense Solan's thoughts, was suddenly embarrassed.

This news is not news among the important ministers present at the meeting today.Everyone looked at Pharaoh, waiting for him to speak.

"From today onwards, control the border between Upper and Lower Egypt, and embargo food shipments to Upper Egypt. The king will not allow any bag of wheat produced in Lower Egypt to be transported into Upper Egypt." This was the first order issued by Pharaoh.

"Yes--"

All the ministers took this for granted.

The flooding season of the big river is coming soon, and the major grain-producing areas in Lower Egypt are about to run out of surplus grain.It is impossible for Pharaoh to worry about whether the Upper Egyptians will go hungry at this time.

Someone immediately asked: "My king is wise, but Upper Egypt has always transported various ores and stones to Lower Egypt. If the border is sealed off, the ores from Upper Egypt will not be able to reach the king's smelting field. So, for the army of Lower Egypt, who forged weapons?" Where should the materials come from?"

Delos thought for a while and said, "Order the merchants of Tanis to buy from overseas at a high price!"

At this time, Solan's heart moved, and he quickly interjected, saying: "I heard that the craftsmen of Tanis have invented a lot of special technologies and equipment recently, and the level of forging weapons there has advanced by leaps and bounds. The king ordered that the craftsmen of Tanis simply forge weapons and military supplies, do you think this would be good?"

Tilos looked up at Solan, and the Pharaoh's face was very pale.

It seems that the place name Tanis still had a very important influence on the pharaoh.

"Alright—"

Except for his pale face, Delos didn't have any flaws in his body that might reveal his thoughts.

The pharaoh nodded lightly, and casually handed over the matter to the officials in Nome where Tanis was located.

And Solan secretly breathed a sigh of relief, thinking in his heart: My suggestion has succeeded, and I will remind the gods where it is, this is a meritorious service!

Alicia: ...

This was indeed her proposal through Solan, who communicated directly with Soran using a spiritual connection.

The general needs to arrange the birth in Tanis, so she can influence him through Biola, and it is not impossible to make trouble for Pharaoh at that time.

It's just that Solan's eagerness to ask for merit is really beyond her expectation—have you ever seen a favored person who is so fussy with the gods, and every little merit has to be recorded in the account?

She intends to use the excuse of not being pious enough to deduct Solan's merits, and see if Solan will jump in anger.

"Iago, how much food is there in the treasury?"

Delos turned to Iago who was in charge of the treasurer.The master manager brought a cheat sheet with him, and he took it out at this time, and reported a long number that made Erich envious.

"Um--"

Tilos nodded slightly, stretched out his hand and circled a place near the big river on the map, and said: "The king's 10 servants are building a mausoleum for the king here, and the food in the treasury must first ensure the daily supply of these [-] people." -"

As soon as Pharaoh's voice fell, the hall was silent for a long time.

On the contrary, the crisp and melodious birdsong from outside the hall was exceptionally clear.

Solan looked at the location marked by Delos with a pale face, and kept thinking: there is Giza, there is Giza, there is Giza...

The most tragic and impressive defeat in his life happened in Giza. At this moment, he saw the pharaoh pointing at the place where the incident happened, and he had mixed feelings for a while.

However, what Solan felt was not the point at all.

The point is - 10 people to build a huge tomb for the pharaoh...

And Iago also stayed in place like a stone statue, and it seemed that it took a long time for him to return to his human form. He cautiously asked in a trembling voice: "My king... the river is about to flood, should these peasants go back to their hometowns to farm first, and wait for the slack season to return?" convene?"

"No need!"

Pharaoh flatly rejected it.

"Since there is no need to provide food for Upper Egypt this year, shouldn't all that part be vacated? It will all be used to support these peasants."

Iago stood in a daze, not knowing how to respond to Pharaoh's order—if no one plowed in time after the river flooded, then next year, where would there be enough food in the royal treasury to supply the whole of Lower Egypt?

Solan also slowed down a little at this time, hurriedly followed, and asked: "Your Majesty, can the frontier army be allocated the same rations as in previous years..."

Delos raised his head indifferently, glanced at him, and said, "The king hasn't decided whether to still hand over the border army to you."

This sentence was extremely heart-wrenching, Solan tried his best to lower his head and control himself, but his face had already blushed little by little involuntarily.

The frontier army, the frontier army is still unpopular, even after the militiamen who built the tomb for the pharaoh.

In an instant, Solan wanted to overturn the table and let everything on this map go to hell.

But he immediately remembered that he was being watched by the gods, and he couldn't make such a mistake, so he answered yes resentfully, and didn't make a sound.

This matter is particularly controversial, and several officials of various nomes have also raised objections to this, trying to win some benefits for their own nomes.

In the end, the great priest Dahor stood up to speak for Pharaoh: "What is more important than maintaining the authority of the king?"

"Throughout the history, all the previous pharaohs have carefully built the mausoleum since the beginning of their ascension to the throne. It is a place to help the king's soul fly to the heaven after death, and it is also a symbol of the divinity possessed by the king on the earth. .This matter is overwhelming, so this veteran thinks that my king's decision is very wise."

The group of people around the wooden table all had strange expressions, and they were probably slandering Dahor for flattering the sky. Even Solan, his own son, was no exception, and complained a few words in his heart.But no one dared to say that the construction of the royal tomb was not important enough.

"That's it..." Delos himself concluded, "Strict food embargo, not a grain of wheat can be shipped to Upper Egypt."

"The militia team, which fully supplies 10 people, built the mausoleum for the king in Giza. The royal treasurer was responsible for the direct supply of food and materials. A team of militiamen went to the old stone quarries in Fayoum and other oases in the west to mine.”

"Yes……"

There was a echo in the hall.

Just as the Pharaoh turned around with his hands behind his back and was about to leave, Solan suddenly asked again: "Your Majesty, don't you plan to increase your troops at the border between Upper and Lower Egypt? Aren't you worried that the Upper Egyptians will take the initiative to attack?"

Delos faltered, then turned around and gave Solan a contemptuous smile: "She dare not—"

When Soran was still muttering these three words silently in his heart, Erich had already cut off the spiritual connection with Soran, and was almost laughed out of anger.

Pharaoh really understood her!

At this stage, she really dare not—

The embargo order will be sent quickly to the several nomes bordering Upper Egypt, and the river will be patrolled by boats.

She sent Nanna to those Nomes before, just to prepare the locals.

The Upper Egyptians were about to face a food crisis, and now she was almost covered with parcels of land looking for sources of rations for the twenty noams.

In addition, she must also pay attention to the debates between the various forces in Thebes, and try to make all the nomes willing to stand on the side of Thebes, so as not to fall to the pharaoh of Lower Egypt.

In addition to the scattered armed forces of the Nomes in Upper Egypt, the only professional military force, the mercenaries led by Gilman, was also sent by her to open up new sea routes and search for the ancient country of Ponte.

Delos expected well, she really didn't dare to roll up her sleeves and beat Egypt violently.

But so is Delos.

He also didn't choose to send troops immediately, and defeated Elyse in one fell swoop when she was weakest, occupied Upper Egypt, and unified the entire kingdom.

Instead, he chose to repair the royal tomb!

This development made Alixi really astonished. For a while, she wanted to establish a spiritual connection with Delos to see if the other party had taken the wrong medicine.

She had a hunch that something influenced Delos' decision, maybe it was the smiling father Dahor, or maybe it was Horus, the patron saint who supported the pharaoh...

But she must take advantage of this god-given opportunity to solve problems quickly and grow stronger.

The first thing that needs to be solved is naturally food - after all, people depend on food.

If the granary of Thebes bottoms out, the city itself will be in chaos without waiting for the pharaoh to attack.

Thinking of this, Alixi immediately got up, ready to use the key of life to remove the curse for the Wutao people.

She has already completed the treatment for four out of five Wutao people, and has accumulated a lot of experience for the remaining fifth, so she can lift the curse for them in the shortest possible time and with as little pain as possible.

In this way, God Baith can provide her with clues about the primordial seed.

Alicia quickly opened the door, and the wooden door creaked loudly.

The sound startled two people, one big and one small sitting by the window outside the door.The adult is Senmut. His long brown hair is casually draped over his shoulders. He is leaning on the window sill, basking in the sun with a small person in his arms.

The sun in Thebes in the morning was not strong enough. The golden sun shone on the four-month-old little princess Ou Nai, shining on the soft black hair on her small forehead.

O'Neill was sleeping sweetly on Senmut's chest, the sunlight illuminating her glistening snot bubbles.

What an elegant and demure picture of a father and daughter... no, a picture of a mother and daughter.

Ali Heaton felt ashamed, and she suddenly felt that Senmut was a more competent mother than her.This child should be regarded as the birth of the high priest.

Unexpectedly, at this moment, Ou Nai suddenly opened his eyes, and the dark eyeballs made contact with Alicia's sight.

Alicia suddenly had a strong premonition: take Senmut to meet Bais, bring Senmut...
