An unknown good or bad thing happened in Xumi City.
Rama himself acknowledged that the gods had granted the subsequent rulership of the Shahai.
Since it is the ruling power of Shahai, although the rainforest people are also allowed to be in the ruling body, the majority are of course the desert people.
This is something that should be included in the question and does not matter.
The key thing is the announcement from Rama.
The gods will form a new governing body, and the Order Academy will change from a governing body to the simplest academy.
The ruling body will form a new group of "Six Sages", and Rama becomes the great sage. The group of "Six Sages" will be supervised by the gods.
The former is very simple, and it can be regarded as destroying the foundation of the scholar society.
Scholars are considered a special profession in the eyes of the Sumeru people. According to Tinari or Seno, in order to study academic papers, scholars will even form families with scholars who have the same research direction.
Being able to achieve this level is closely related to the generally high income and high treatment of scholars.
What is good at the top will be bad at the bottom.
This kind of treatment is actually due to the fact that the Teaching Council serves as an institution for cultivating scholars, and it also directly manages the entire Sumeru.
If you enroll in the Teaching Order, perform well, and find a good teacher, you will have the opportunity to directly become the ruling class of Xumi in the future.
Many people obviously do not embark on this path to explore the unknown.
But now, the Teaching Academy has become an institution that only trains students. It is no longer the same as before and can directly enter the ruling class of Sumeru.
This directly abolished a major value of the Order Academy.
But this is a good thing.
Defining the Teaching Order simply as a college, the value of the college is students, teachers, documents, classics, etc.
These things are chips that do not need to be destroyed and require a long time to accumulate.
This also means that in the eyes of the new ruling class, the Order Academy can exist independently as a college.
The storm that swept through Sumeru has nothing to do with most of them.
Being able to survive is the best thing in times of chaos.
And another thing...
"Although the Great Sage is still the one with the highest power, the so-called Six Sages are at least six people who govern together, right?"
They perked up.
There are two situations in independent politics. One is that your prestige is too high, and the people below have never thought of refuting your opinions. If you say it, this is the truth, and the people below will implement it immediately without any doubt.
The other situation is to simply rely on violence and force to intimidate, without caring about other people's opinions.
Have no opinions, and don't care about other people's opinions.
Rama was the latter.
Although he should be the greatest hero in the history of the desert, this does not prevent him from becoming the enemy of many powerful people.
The enemy only depends on interests.
Rama sat in power alone and often killed people as a deterrent. He was indeed hostile to many people.
This would have been an inconsequential matter.
If you are hostile, you are hostile. Rama's power comes entirely from his own force and not from anyone's support.
Unless they can make the mechanical troops rebel, no one's hostility will be of any use.
"The situation has changed now!"
Babel stood up and said, "The six sages are relatively equal in status, and with gods appearing to supervise them, can he still do those things as he pleases?"
"He has already compromised to the gods. With Rama's temperament, it is obvious that his fists are not as big as Rama's. His own hiding place may even have been discovered by the gods, so he compromised so quickly."
"Since he cannot deter the gods, is there anything wrong with us abiding by the gods' will to check Rama?"
Perfect verbal seduction requires reference to tone, pauses, volume, gestures, and expressions. This is the essence of speech.
It attracts people's resonance through physical performance and pauses in language.
Of course, the most important part is actually interest and deterrence.
Together with Rama, they govern Sumeru together.
There are gods as a guarantee of force to ensure that everyone will not be executed by Rama for dissent.
You have the benefits, you have the protection, don’t you want to take action?
[It’s time to take the bait. 】
Babel sneered inwardly.
She knew that these old friends of hers would be tempted.
This cannot be said to be stupid, after all, they know nothing about the inner workings of the gods.
The results were not necessarily bad, since Rama really intended to remain silent.
Rama and Babir described his next plan.
"I know you want to be on top, want to have power."
The communication between the adopted son and the adoptive mother is always like this. They are both power-hungry people, and they are wary when communicating with each other.
Well, not entirely right, Rama has changed.
"But as long as I'm here, none of you will be able to rise to the top. In other words, it won't make much difference whether you rise to the top or not."
"You even mentioned this matter to me even though you knew it." Babel's expression remained unchanged, "Why, do you need me to betray my old friends?"
Rama's plans were rarely complex.
Deterrence by force and temptation by interests.
Simple, but basically impossible to miss.
There are few people who are not greedy, and there are few people who are not afraid of death.
Rama never went to these people, so he succeeded every time.
The logic is simple and of course easy to guess.
"Yes, they are your old friends. I want you to betray them. Of course I will pay more."
Rama did not look up, "Fools all know that betraying allies requires a price, and I know it too, so I will give you a bargaining chip that you can't refuse."
"For example?" Babel became interested.
She believed in Rama's words.
If he says he can't refuse the benefits, then he absolutely can't refuse them.
"How about one of the six nominal sages, the actual great sage."
Rama said casually.
When he promised these things, he didn't even change the movements of flipping through the literature and classics in his hands. However, Babel looked astonished as if she had been struck by lightning.
"The actual great sage, yes, that's right, the nominal great sage can only be you."
Her mind was still working, but her logic had broken down a little, "But why?"
"If I continue to be the Great Sage, the result will be no different than if I were the king."
"Anyway, you will never refuse my proposal." Rama raised his head, "It doesn't matter, but what Nasita wants is a relatively peaceful and stable whole."
"He himself cannot be a single husband, and I don't want to be a single husband."
He had a gentle smile on his face, "After all, the gods don't like it."
"What does He not like to have to do with you?" Babel narrowed her eyes slightly, "Have you ever cared about what others think?"
This doesn't make sense at all.
When have you, Rama, ever cared about whether others like you or not?
"He paid a very precious bargaining chip, and I took it. All my efforts were rewarded, and I even owed something."
Rama's smile became brighter, "You don't understand even if I tell you this, just tell me if you want to be a great sage."
"Are you possessed?" Babel came up and punched her, "Or were you hypnotized by the God of Grass using dreams?"
Rama raised his hand to block it and subconsciously activated the fire elemental power.
The long knife slashed down smoothly, and finally hovered above Babel's head.
"You've become stronger."
The shadow behind Rama has been fully formed and is no longer an illusory form.
The red-gold humanoid formed purely from the power of the fire element overlooks Babel below, with blazing flames burning on the blade.
"If you weren't my adoptive mother, sometimes I really want to punch you twice."
Rama sighed, "It's just a very simple truth. You get what you pay for, but what you get is too much."
"If it's a business that I cooperate with others and the investment gets an unexpected and generous return, I don't care if I gain more. The huge profit in the business is good luck."
“But no, it’s an added bonus from other people’s own subsidies.”
"I was greedy but knew it was more than I invested, so I had to make concessions elsewhere to compensate for the other party's losses."
The human form dissipated and Rama's expression returned to normal, "I describe it this way, can you understand it?"
"I understand, it's normal for you to say that." Babel didn't have any fear of escaping from death. "Do you know what you were thinking when you just said that?"
"It's better not to say anything, I don't want to know." Rama refused.
"Like a little boy in love, my good son." Babel did not give up laughing.
Rama couldn't even fight back.
"Anyway, it's easy to do."
"Go and encourage those power-hungry people to come to power and challenge my position."
"Next, I will do academic research within the Order Council, and occasionally leave Xumi to go to other countries, but in short I will not participate in the management of government affairs."
"The power is given to you five sages. I will support most of your proposals and ensure that you become the de facto great sage."
The further strength made Rama's management of Xumi completely inadequate.
He didn't even want to pretend and mentioned the matter directly to Nasida.
Nasita also saw that this was Rama's own desire, but she still "promised you a condition" in exchange for Rama's silence.
Rama was very greedy.
Just like what happened with Desia, he actually didn't need Desia to do anything. Enemy with [Legacy of the God King] was part of the plan.
It doesn't matter if you save people casually, but since I have saved people, I must find some benefit from you.
Otherwise I wouldn't do it easily.
It's the same situation.
He said it just to ask for a favor from you.
Nacida stepped down immediately after giving him permission to rule relatively fairly.
If Nasida didn't give it to him... she would probably leave if she didn't give it to him. After all, rule meant nothing to him.
But after all, the prerequisite for benefit is to do something, and if you do something, you should be rewarded. Nasita still chose to fulfill Rama and leave.
"After all, he is my sage. Even if he is a little rogue, the gods should take responsibility."
With this thought, He owed Rama another condition.
So Rama began to form and select a new batch of six sages overnight, and at the same time planned to yo-yo as soon as possible to restore Sumeru to normal.
Do something when you get a benefit.
When cooperating with fools, you can take money and do nothing, but you cannot do this when dealing with gods.
You must do your best.
Babel didn't know the deal, but she could see that Rama was serious.
For a moment she began to weigh whether to accept the offer.
Rama's conditions did not allow the other party to make a pure profit.
He is so serious about ruling, and if he doesn't do it right then, he might actually kill people.
Even with the title of adoptive mother, Babel had to admit that Rama had given herself enough.
If a mistake was made, it was difficult to expect Rama to show mercy.
However, even though she knew the danger, Babel still could not refuse in the end.
Even she herself didn't know the source of her desire for power, but she knew she couldn't live without power.
In Tanit, she wanted to become the mistress. After Rama came to power, she used her relationship with Rama to become the leader among the powerful people in the Sand Sea. Now the opportunity to become the actual great sage in Sumeru is right in front of her.
She knew the danger and she couldn't refuse.
"Then it's successful. You don't need to worry about too many things." Rama thought for a while, "If you don't know how to rule, then stay silent and let the people below do their work."
"When they succeed, you praise them and give them a share of the credit."
"You punish them when they fail, showing an attitude that has nothing to do with you."
"The Great Sage doesn't need to do anything?" Babel couldn't understand.
When she served as a tribal elder, she was much busier than Rama described.
[You think everyone is you, bastard! 】
Babel cursed in her heart.
"It is necessary, but I have never ruled. I don't know how to do it right, so I usually do nothing." Rama was very honest, "This is my experience, you don't need to do it."
"But you have to pay the price for doing things, you won't understand."
He was never responsible for political orders directly related to rule, but was responsible for the war.
The former is handed over to others. If it fails, the person will be lifted off and replaced by the next group of people.
The latter is the price he can afford, success is the best, and he can also bear failure.
Only do things you are sure of, Rama had this creed, and he did exactly that.
In this way, Rama completed the explanation of such an important decision regarding the Six Sages late at night.
Babel went all out and began to fool her old friends.
The division of power must be dominated by desert people.
The six sages of this generation will include both desert people and rainforest people. It will probably take a hundred years after Nasida comes to power to turn these two people into Sumeru people.
As for the desert people, they can only be recruited from these people at present.
Heartbeat is inevitable.
Babel's theory is beneficial and guaranteed. Without knowing the inside story and really thinking that the gods can deter Rama, they certainly want to go up.
"It's not your place to say this truth."
Some people still suppressed their excitement, "You are Rama's adoptive mother, and you and Rama are natural allies of interest."
This can actually be said directly that your power comes entirely from Rama, why do you dare to stab him in the back.
But saying it too directly is very hurtful. It seems that Babel's rise to power is entirely due to status rather than ability. In fact, Babel will firmly occupy the position of the tribe's mistress in the future. It's hard to say anything else, at least in Tani. In this team, from falcon to mistress, she is indeed the one with the most outstanding skills.
Although she was a little tactful, Babel still remembered the other party's name and planned to settle the score in the future.
"How can the things he can give me be more precious than the things I take with my own hands?" Babel was very straightforward in smearing Rama, "Everyone knows Rama's desire to control power, even if I’m his adoptive mother and he still doesn’t give me a lot of credit.”
"Before Rama, did the power you held come from someone's gift, rather than taking it by force yourself?"
Babel sneered.
In an environment like Shahai, if everyone wants to reach a higher position, they cannot rely solely on the blessings from the upper class.
Elders have equal rights. No matter how much they are trained, they will never let their subordinates sit on the same level as themselves.
The remaining distance is still up to you to snatch.
The person who can reach the top without fighting or grabbing must probably be found in dreams.
Power needs to be snatched, and this answer has gained some acceptance.
They remained silent and continued to weigh the pros and cons.
"Can the gods really suppress Rama?"
The benefits are clearly seen, and Babel has made it clear enough.
But the disadvantage... The disadvantage is that if you stretch your hand to power, you may be chopped off by Rama with his claws.
Only names and tools cannot be faked.
Power is something that is theoretically given to them by the people, but in fact when you really hold such a thing, you will only regard it as your own.
It’s not given by anyone, it’s yours.
When others want to take it away, of course you will resist.
They will resist, and so will Rama.
Standing up to seize power is not the problem, the problem is how to end it after seizing things.
"Rama originally wanted to become His Majesty the King of Sumeru." Babel seemed to have thought of something interesting and couldn't help laughing, "But now he can only become a great sage, and even has to be with Other wise men rule together.”
"Of course he's not satisfied, but he has to accept it."
It's impossible to reason with them. Everyone has their own reasons.
Just look at the effort and gain.
Of course, His Majesty the King, the great sage among the king and the six sages, has a higher position of power.
Rama gave up a higher position of power and chose to become a great sage. This couldn't be because he had a headache and suddenly didn't want to be the king, right?
Someone must have held him down and forced him to give up his power!
When it comes to this level, my heartbeat is uncontrollable.
Of course there are risks, but benefits always come with risks, and risks rarely become a stumbling block to benefits.
"good."
They looked at each other and gritted their teeth and spit out their answers.
This answer put a lot of pressure on them, because Rama was really unscrupulous.
But after they frankly admitted their pursuit of power, they suddenly relaxed and began to think about how to obtain 100% power.
Interests and fears are at odds with each other, and there is never an absolute winner.
They were afraid of the intimidation brought by Rama, but the benefits of superiority also tempted them to make a choice.
This time, interest triumphed over fear.
