Chapter 536: The arrangement of the elders, the checks and balances of the high priesthood

The sky was low and heavy, the hall was condensed and broad, and the rays of the sun were swallowed up, leaving only a faint halo. The slightly fat Uger was flushed, raised one hand high, looked at the saluting people, and the corners of his mouth were wide open. Then, his expression flashed, he looked at the peaceful elder, and prayed devoutly.

"The Lord God bless! May the elders be healthy and bless the alliance forever!"

In the hall of the chief, it is right to praise the immortal elders. All the elders bowed their heads and prayed in unison in the face of the god-like long-lived old man.

"The Lord God bless! May the elders be healthy and bless the alliance forever!"

The elder nodded lightly, with a slight smile on his particularly rosy face. His eyes are calm and deep, reading the vicissitudes of the world and witnessing countless rises and falls.

At this moment, he watched many elders with different thoughts, and stayed on everyone's faces one by one, as if he saw everyone completely. The old man who had mastered the alliance for more than half a century quietly pondered the situation after his death. He pondered for a moment, thought of the story he had heard from a certain person, and spoke again, deciding the new power structure of the alliance.

"Ugel is the high priest and also serves as the chief priest. There are also three deputy chief priests. Together with the high priest, they form a council of chief priests and cast lots to decide the major affairs of the alliance! The chief priest has two lots, and the three deputy chief priests have one lot. If you get three votes, this matter can be implemented!"

Hearing this, the expressions of many elders suddenly changed. On the priests and elders, add a deputy chief priest, and vote to decide the major affairs of the alliance? This kind of treatment is quite common in the tribal elders meeting, but it has never happened in the high priests of the alliance.

And getting three lottery means that the three deputy chief priests join forces, or the high priest plus a deputy chief priest. The key positions of these three deputy chief priests...

"The three deputy chief priests, they are..."

The elder pondered for a while, then glanced at the crowd holding their breath. He left such an arrangement to let the ambitious elders share the power of the high priest, assist in handling academic affairs, and try to resolve conflicts on the table.

"...Sun God Elder Tonatiu, War God Elder Yazar, Lord God Elder Acap!"

Hearing this, the sun **** elder Tonatiu raised his brows, glanced at everyone, and then saluted the elder. The God of War elder Yazar showed a happy expression, straightened his spine, and responded loudly.

The Lord God Elder Acap pursed his lips, suppressed the ecstasy in his heart, bent down deeply, and bowed his head respectfully. It was unexpected and a crucial step for him to get this position!

In this round of power arrangements, Tonatiu has a distinguished status, Yazar has always been brave and good at fighting, and both of them are well-received. Only Acap was young and had little qualifications, and only relied on the inheritance of the main **** brought by his wife and the support of King Avet to gain a foothold in the high priests. The arrangement of the elders this time is an extraordinary promotion!

The three deputy chief priests faced the elder, and after bowing respectfully, they each took a step and stood behind the new chief priest. Among the twelve priests and elders, there are clearly three levels. The upper two levels concentrate the most important decision-making power, while the remaining eight priests and elders...

The elder thought for a while, and everyone bowed their heads and waited. Until the old voice came again, weakly and plainly determined the world.

"If there are two deputy chief priests firmly opposed to the major matters of the alliance, a meeting of the high priests can be convened, and the twelve elders will vote together. At the meeting of the high priests, the chief priests have three votes, and the rest of the elders have one. If the number of signatures reaches half of the seven signatures, the matter will be abandoned and further discussions will be conducted.”

Ugel blinked and pinched his fingers. According to the new system, as long as the seven elders and priests object, the high priesthood cannot implement any new decisions. In this way, it is difficult for the high priest to suppress the rest of the elders and forcefully implement major reforms as before. For him, this arrangement is really...

"Good! Excellent!"

Ugel nodded in satisfaction, a smile appeared on his fat face. After he was appointed as the high priest, he was still a little uneasy and uneasy. After all, the first two priest leaders were busy and had to do everything by themselves, but they didn't end well! Now, with the arrangement of the elder, he can relax and put the blame on others.

"When a major event occurs, the elders will discuss it together. If there is a problem, it is also everyone's fault, but it can't be counted on me alone!..."

The elder's command fell into the ears of everyone, like a light breeze, but with a heavy weight like a mountain, it was real power. The expressions of the three deputy chief priests changed, and they looked at each other and thought about it. The other eight priests and elders finally smiled, thinking about how to form a group and truly participate in the decision-making of major events.

In the main hall of Shen Su, there was silence again, only weak panting. Under the deep sky, suddenly there was more wind, blowing the curtain of the gods. Seeing that it has been brewing for a long time, a spring rain is in front of us.

After talking a lot, the elder was out of breath and a little tired. He made some arrangements so that the entire high priest group would restrain each other from top to bottom. There would be no major problems, and there would be no leader who controls everything. It should be able to maintain stability for a few years. He knows that no matter what kind of power arrangement, it can only be restricted for a while, and the distribution of supreme power always depends on people.

"...Then, which one of you would it be?"

The elder narrowed his eyes and finally looked at the elders for a while. Everyone lowered their eyebrows and pleasing their eyes, showing a loyal and sincere look. After a while, he smiled relievedly, lowered his eyes, and waved his hand gently.

"Let's all go down!...Well, Kakamazin stay and talk with me...May the Lord God bless you!"

"May the Lord God bless you!"

The priests and elders of the alliance bowed their heads and saluted in unison, turning around and leaving one after another with different thoughts. Ugel looked at the elder with some worry, stopped for a moment, and then left. He walked through the dark corridors, down the high stairs, through the sloping corridors, over the axe-wielding guards, and finally out of the chief's palace.

The dim sky is coming, and it falls in Uger's eyes, as if full of light. And a little wind blowing on his face, like the caress of a beauty, makes people feel comfortable. The slightly chubby elder priest was complacent and fluttering all over, as if stepping on the clouds. He looked at the towering Great Pyramid Temple, laughed and sighed.

"Haha! Human's fate is really unpredictable! Even I, Ugel, will sit high in the great temple and become a high priest one day! ... I think back then, Kechar was extremely smart and pressed me everywhere. One end, but died in the hands of the elders, took away the nobles of Texcoco, and killed hundreds of noble gods... And Shuter was ruthless and decisive, destroying countless families, but died in In the holy city of Cholula, even the priest family that has been passed down for hundreds of years will be buried with him... eh?!"

Thinking of this, Ugel suddenly froze and realized something. He murmured, and the bone-chilling chill engulfed his heart, making his back shiver, his hairs stand up, and his whole body trembles.

"Ketchar...Shutter...the elder..."

After a while, the new high priest recovered, and a cold sweat broke out on his forehead. He turned his head back in fear, to the dim chief palace, like a beast's lair, a silent and swallowing abyss. His face was full of surprise, thinking wildly, guessing how many times he had passed by death.

"Huh!... The frog **** Sochi Piri said that mortals must learn to be humble and have self-knowledge. I'm just a piece of rotten wood, a plate of fruit residue, how can I be the material for a high priest?"

Ugel watched for a moment, sighed, and shook his head. His emotions were up and down in his chest, and he was rushing to and fro, and he actually recited two poems~www.readwn.com~ The egrets stopped on the top of the holy mountain, and the eagles looked down from the great temple. They were all condescending and wanted to spread their wings and fly high! They all screamed loudly, wanting to shake the wilderness! ...the thunder of the rainy season, came with the storm, they soared and screamed in the storm, and then disappeared! ..."

Moaning here, Ugel paused for a while, and when he spoke again, he brought a little self-deprecation and told a story.

"After the rain and the weather, a fat turkey came from the bottom of the mountain, twisted its butt, and climbed to the top of the pyramid... Then, it looked at the sun in the sky, waved its wings, and hooted twice. , just lay down with your head up! ... Very good, very good! This place is high and flat, hiding under the statue, but it is just right to sleep!"

"Uh...chubby turkey..."

More than ten steps away, Acap stood outside the palace, in the shadow of the corner, eavesdropping on the recitation of the new high priest. He stood here and waited for a long time, just wanting to have a good chat with High Priest Uger... But at this moment, after listening to Uger's poems, he pursed his lips, held his breath, and put it away. The once contempt in my heart quietly left.

It wasn't until Acap left that Uger tilted his head slightly, glanced at the other party's position just now, and shook his head gently.

"Young lynx, you are really full of energy, and you want to climb up all the time! . After a lifetime, don't rush to study, let's enjoy it! ... God bless!"

After he finished speaking, Ugel reached out his hand again, drew the word "囵" of the sun hummingbird in the air, and went back to the house slowly. Click to download this site APP, massive novels, free to read!
