What is more serious is the concept of money supremacy among the nobles, because for the nobles, money is the only magic weapon to achieve everything, whether it is controlling slaves or even dealing with the pharaoh, as long as you have money, everything seems to be

Everything will bow to them, including some laws in the Code of Hammurabi.

Therefore, we must understand that the Pharaoh had carried out the reform of the throne system before, so the nobles also understood the weakness and incompetence of the concept of gods. It can be said that in the world view of the nobles, the concept of the sun god had been completely ignored at this time. Moreover, the nobles

Because they have money, they can participate in national affairs to some extent. For example, on the matter of succession to the throne, although it is said that the elders have to negotiate, the truth is that as long as they have enough money, they can also make these elders open their eyes.

Eyes tell lies.

This is the concept of money supremacy that we talked about before. Anyway, among the Egyptian aristocrats in this era, the concept of money magic has shown its absolute power, and has completely suppressed the concept of gods and even morality.

All concepts and more.

Cyrus himself was eyeing Egypt as a place, so he sent spies to find out the situation. Cyrus's spies returned to Persia and reported that the walls of Egypt were very tall and strong, and they were actually made of the silt of the moat.

The city gates were made of bricks with asphalt in the middle, and the city gates were also made of bronze. Therefore, the Egyptian Pharaoh underestimated Cyrus's ambitions and believed that Cyrus did not have this ability at all. In other words, the Pharaoh believed that,

The Persians simply did not have the strength to break through the city wall.

But the situation inside Egypt is quite chaotic. How should I describe this? First of all, although the Egyptian Pharaohs were kinder to the civilians, the Egyptian Empire is still a slave empire, so there are still more slaves working day and night.

They work without food and clothing, so resentment, anger and despair still spread among the slaves.

And for these slaves who were hungry and half-clothed, it was better to die completely than to live in such suffocating despair. But they just didn’t have the courage to commit suicide, so they often just prayed.

Someone else can kill them. Many of these slaves actually prayed like this.

Another most important factor is that although the Pharaoh did treat the Egyptian civilians better, the nobles and other people still maintained the concept that civilians were also slaves, so they did not have much attitude towards the civilians.

The change is still to let civilians work day and night. In fact, there is no obvious difference from slaves.

Finally, there is the huge problem of the Egyptian royal family. The royal family is currently divided into three classes, mainly the civil ruling class, which is the pharaoh. Then there are the nobles and priests. However, there used to be relatively harmonious relations between these three classes. After all, in the past

They all have the concept of gods, and they all believe in the supreme sun god. But now because of the infiltration of money and interests, there is no harmony between these three classes.

Mainly reflected in the struggle for power among these three classes, they are all ambitious to control the entire Egyptian empire, and no one will give in to anyone. After all, as long as they gain power, people can still be completely lost in the huge benefits. Therefore, among them

There has always been a form of intrigue among them, because they cannot reach a unified thought, and they all want to be the ruler to gain more benefits. At this point, they have reached the point where they want to kill one by one.

Cyrus mainly learned about these situations from spies. First of all, he confirmed that the Pharaoh did not take their Persians seriously at all, but this is understandable. Because the Pharaoh's Egyptian city wall is definitely not a joke, it is so tall and strong

Even a battering ram may not be able to break open the city wall, so Cyrus knew very well that if he wanted to attack the Egyptian Empire, he would not be able to get through the city wall alone.

But Cyrus also learned a lot of other useful information from the spies, so after careful thinking, Cyrus came up with a clever plan, and then Cyrus told the spies about the clever plan.

Then the spy led many people, disguised as businessmen, and pulled a huge amount of treasure on the carriage, all of which were gold and silver. These things were very, very valuable in Egypt, not to mention gold, because everyone in this big family

Everyone loves it. After all, the Pharaoh likes it, and more women also like this reflective and shiny metal, and like to make it into jewelry or even daily necessities. Therefore, the value of gold is very high, and the Egyptian Empire’s own gold production is very high.

It is not very high, but this is not a problem of the gold content in the river sand in the Egyptian Empire. It is mainly a problem of incorrect collection methods. So we only need to understand that gold is very, very valuable in the Egyptian Empire.

The other one is silver, not to mention silver. Silver has always been used as a casting material for silver coins in the Egyptian Empire. The higher the purity of the silver, the more outrageous its value is. And we have also talked before, some of the Egyptian nobles

People, they had used silver to make a large number of silver coins before, but weren't they killed by the previous pharaoh in the end? And in the end, the pharaoh improved the purity of the silver used in the silver coins, so the price for the nobles to make real silver coins was too high, so they also

I stopped making silver coins privately for a long time because I didn't make any money at all.

But Cyrus's spies brought a large amount of gold and silver to the nobles in the main city of Egypt this time. They pulled several carriages. The gold was shining brightly and the silver was of terrifying purity. In fact, these treasures were

Cyrus robbed them when he destroyed the Medes. Because the Medes had always used the former Persians as slaves to create wealth, Cyrus believed that these gold and silver originally belonged to Persia.

But Cyrus sent so much gold and silver this time. We can clearly see that Cyrus definitely spent a lot of money this time. But we should not think that Cyrus is stupid, because Cyrus is a

He is a very smart person, but the current Egyptian Pharaoh seems to be a little less smart. He only relies on the strongest city wall in Egypt, which gives him a peace of mind.

But when the gold and silver that Cyrus spent so much money were brought to the eyes of the Egyptian nobles and priests, these nobles and priests immediately became jealous of the money. Because the Egyptian Empire needed to develop in these years, the Pharaoh often exploited the nobles, which is why

As a result, although they were said to be nobles, they really didn't have much gold and silver. They were all looted by the Pharaoh, either to build tall city walls or to pave roads in the towns. Of course, more gold and silver was used in the army.

On expenses.

This situation originally made the Egyptian nobles and priests very angry, because they believed that only if the property entered their own homes, it would be considered property. If the property went elsewhere, it would not be considered their property at all.

And that is exactly what is happening.

So when these nobles and priests saw so much gold and silver, although they were enlightened by the money, they still had a lot of worries in their hearts. They also understood that if they were destined to get these gold and silver, they must also be destined to spend them.

,What’s the use of it without the Life Flower, right?

And whether it was the Pharaoh of Egypt or Cyrus of the Persian Empire, these two were not good people. These Egyptian nobles and priests still knew something about it. But the Persian spies finally told these Egyptian priests and nobles

Said: In fact, our king Cyrus has an order to give you these gold and silver. You only need to do one thing for us, and after we get Persia, we will definitely guarantee your safety.

At this point, the Egyptian nobles and priests thought about it for a long time. They felt that this was what Cyrus, the king of Persia, said. Could it be that Cyrus could violate these words? Another thing is, even if there is so much gold and silver,

It's okay to run away with them, because they had intrigues among the Egyptian class. One wanted to kill the other. It was not for the prosperity of Egypt at all. They just wanted to get more benefits, that is, they wanted to be in the hands of the Pharaoh.

Those powers that can reach out and ask for money from all Egyptians. The power to ask for money is itself for money, and now the money is in front of them, as long as they agree to do a favor.

So the Egyptian nobles and priests asked the Persian spies what help they needed. The Persian spies told them: In fact, just open the gates of the Egyptian Empire in the middle of the night the day after tomorrow. It's that simple.

After hearing this, the Egyptian nobles and priests felt that this was not difficult, because it was the Pharaoh's original intention to close the city gates at night, but the soldiers guarding the city were also money-loving people, and they were not devout believers of the Sun God.

So the Egyptian nobles and priests agreed to the Persian spy's proposal. It can also be said that they accepted the money from the Persian King Cyrus and now agreed to Cyrus' proposal.

But the Pharaoh of the Egyptian Empire didn't know about this. After these Egyptian nobles and priests collected the gold and silver, they quickly made plans to escape from Egypt. They were tired of the intrigues among the upper classes. This

Before they can get huge benefits, and sometimes they may even be killed by the pharaoh, at this point they really give it a go.

So that night, the Egyptian nobles and priests bribed the soldiers guarding the city gate with a small amount of money, and told the soldiers guarding the city gate that they had something urgent to do, and it was just for the convenience of the soldiers.

The soldiers at the city gate were completely unaware of the conspiracy behind it, so they were jealous of the money and thought it was just opening a city gate. Isn't it a big deal? So the soldiers guarding the city took the money and then
