The Ming Dynasty’s Prodigal Son - Chapter 1627

[1627.Chapter 1547: Cutting out the roots]

What Su Jin said is just the most superficial truth.

The other Confucian scholars had no expression on their faces.

Because in their opinion, Su Jin’s level was too low.

But…

these words are still fatal.

Su Jin held Emperor Suleiman in high esteem, always based on the supremacy of Emperor Suleiman, and every sentence was based on the interests of Emperor Suleiman.

Therefore, when he asked you what your intentions were, it was heartbreaking.

You don’t consider the emperor’s face and interests, but you are always thinking about what will happen to the subjects if the new system continues, and how the subjects will complain. So… do you still have Emperor Suleiman in your eyes?

Suleiman sat on the royal chair, his face unfathomable, but his eyes also fell on these old ministers.

When the interpreter translated Su Jin’s words to the old ministers.

These old ministers, however, exploded.

Someone said: “Huh, who are you? You are just barbarians from the East. You don’t believe in gods. You are here to bewitch the Sultan…”

When Suleiman heard that this man still called himself Sultan, he raised his eyebrows slightly, but Still silent.

The man continued with emotion: “This is our homeland. My family can be traced back to the Kayi era. Since then, my ancestors have followed the Sultan to fight under the guidance of the gods. Now you are a group of foreigners.” , are you accusing me of my intentions here? Sultan…” He looked at Suleiman and gritted his teeth and said, “Do you still remember your father? When your father was alive, he went hunting and fought alongside me. We fought in Hungary, we fought in…”

Suleiman’s face was expressionless, as if he was weighing his concerns.

“Shut up!” A Confucian scholar stood up: “The person sitting in front of you is His Majesty the Emperor. The Emperor is the Supreme. His father is the Xian Daxing Emperor, the son of God. Are you worthy to stand alongside him? What do you mean? Your ancestors and ancestors who followed the emperor were the will of the gods. Hum, I, the Great Ottoman Emperor, am a god. In the eyes of the people of the world, this is the case. I dare to ask, who is your god? “

” Nonsense! You are talking nonsense.” This Kasha was angry, like an angry lion. He clenched his fists and glared at the scholar.

But this Confucian scholar also had an awe-inspiring look on his face.

“Enough!” Suddenly, Emperor Suleiman spoke.

He stood up, squinting his eyes, but still calm and composed: “What we are discussing now is counterinsurgency.”

He spoke in Chinese.

So the interpreter was busy translating to the old ministers.

Emperor Suleiman added: “But you are just arguing here. As Mr. Su said, I will personally lead the imperial guards to attack the traitors and kill them all. Only they will own Only the blood of their relatives can wash away their sins. As for you, Akyol, how dare you make such a mistake in front of me and insult me in this way. Do you not take me seriously? “

This is called Akyol ?”

The man couldn’t help but take a step back in awe, but he seemed a little unwilling to do so.

Suleiman stared at him. Murderous intent was evident in Suleiman’s eyes. These terrifying eyes were intimidating.

Suleiman continued: “I have decreed a long time ago that everyone will change their Chinese names to Chinese surnames. Can you change it?”

“I…my father has given me a surname.”

Suleiman’s eyes changed. After he calmed down, he said in a calm tone: “So, I ask you to learn Chinese. Have you ever learned it?”

“I…”

“You still call yourself me!”

“I… Chen…”

” Relying on the merits of your ancestors, you dare to be so rude and ignore my words. Are you guilty?”

Akyol said seriously: “I swear to God…”

“Come here! “

Dozens of imperial guards were watching with eager eyes at this moment. They held the scimitars on their waists and rushed in like wolves and tigers.

“Get him!”

As soon as he said this, the old ministers were in an uproar. They looked at Suleiman in astonishment.

Obviously, they underestimated this young man.

The guards did not hesitate.

This comes from the military system of the Ottoman Guards.

The Guards were not soldiers from the Ottomans themselves, but selected some of the strongest boys from conquered Balkan Slavic families to receive military training to form a force called the New Army.

These men were called Janissaries, and their members were regularly selected and reviewed. They were the most combat-effective soldiers of the Ottoman Empire. The first choices were mainly Greeks, Bulgarians, Albanians, Serbs, Bosnians and Slavs. If a soldier is talented, he can be promoted to Kasha or even Prime Minister. These new soldiers were slaves and the backbone of the army, known for their cruelty and strict discipline.

Therefore, for them, the only person they served was the Ottoman monarch. They did not even care whether they were loyal to the emperor or the sultan, let alone what language the emperor wanted them to learn. The emperor asked them to learn Turkish, so they learned it. , let them learn Chinese and Confucianism, and they will never have the slightest doubt.

After all…no matter what language it is, it has nothing to do with their mother tongue.

And only those who are loyal to the emperor, and only the emperor, can give them a future.

The guards seized Akyol and dragged him out.

“That’s it for today. We are ready to assemble the army and tell the world to fight against the rebellion. Anyone who dares to rebel will be killed.”

The old ministers were frightened at this time and resigned one after another.

Wait until everyone has left.

Suleiman returned to his gentle expression. He was still a well-educated person. Whether he was smiling or angry, deep down in his heart, it was the result of weighing the left and right. He is by no means a reckless person!

On the side, a Confucian scholar in charge of recording was also preparing to resign.

Suleiman suddenly called him: “What is your name?”

“Student Chen Ye.”

“Oh.” Suleiman said with a smile: “Just now you have been taking notes on daily life. I heard that you have compiled history and asked The tradition that future generations use history as a mirror is a great tradition. Therefore, I am also willing to ask you to record my words and deeds so that future generations will know. However, when you were recording, you saw that I captured Ark. “Joel, what do you think?”

“My emperor is wise and knows everything clearly.”

Suleiman nodded.

These Confucian scholars speak very nicely and protect their own interests at every turn. This is my most intuitive feeling.

“You don’t have to be afraid. You can speak freely. What should I do with this Akyol? He comes from a prominent family. As he said, his ancestors have already made great achievements, and he also worked with me. “My father… has a very deep friendship.”

Chen Ye glanced at Suleiman and said, “Actually, His Majesty already has an answer.”

“

Yes, when His Majesty ordered him to be taken down. I have already guessed the answer. This person’s family is powerful and famous. Since Your Majesty has captured him, this person must have a grudge. If Your Majesty lets him go, it will be like letting the tiger go back to the mountain. Now among the old ministers, there are still many People are dissatisfied with His Majesty’s actions, and they are threatening Your Majesty with their past achievements. Isn’t this a good time to kill the chicken and scare the monkey

? Cutting off the roots, then in the future…”

Suleiman understood something instantly.

He took a deep look at the frail Confucian scholar: “Is it really necessary? What if Akyol still remains loyal?”

“All your Majesty’s decrees must be based on maintaining the order of the country. Yoel, or in other words, a family, no matter how prominent it is, is more important than Sheji.”

Suleiman had a hint of murderous intent in his eyes.

He said calmly: “You’re right.”
