Prodigal Son of the Ming Dynasty

  Chapter 1547 Cut the weeds and eradicate the roots

  What Su Jin said is only the most superficial truth.

  The other Confucian scholars showed no expression on their faces.

  Because in their opinion, Su Jin's level is really too low.

But…

   These words are still fatal.

  Su Jin praised Emperor Suleiman very highly, and he always took the supremacy of Emperor Suleiman as the premise, and every sentence was for the benefit of Emperor Suleiman.

   Therefore, when he asks what your intentions are, it will be heartbreaking.

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

  Suleiman sat on the imperial chair with an unfathomable face, but his eyes fell on these old ministers.

  When the translator translated Su Jin's words to the old ministers.

  These old ministers exploded.

  Someone said: "Huh, who are you? You are just barbarians from the East. You don't believe in gods, and you are here to confuse the Sudan..."

  When Suleiman heard that this person still called himself Sultan, he raised his eyebrows slightly, but remained calm.

The man continued to say with great emotion: "This is our homeland, my family, which can be traced back to the Kay era. Since then, my ancestors have followed the Sudan to fight under the guidance of the gods. Now you a group of foreigners How dare you accuse me of my intentions here? Sultan..." He looked at Suleiman, gritted his teeth and said, "Do you still remember your father? When your father was alive, he used to hunt and fight side by side with me. fought in Hungary, fought in..."

  Suleiman was expressionless, as if he was weighing.

"Shut up!" A Confucian scholar stood up and said, "The one sitting in front of you is His Majesty the Emperor. The Emperor is the Supreme Being. His father is the Emperor Xiandaxing, the son of heaven. You are also worthy to stand beside him? You say?" It is the will of the gods for your ancestors to follow the ancestors of the emperor, hum, I, the Great Ottoman Emperor, is a god, and in the eyes of the world, that is the case, dare I ask, who is your god?"

   "Nonsense! You are talking nonsense." This Kaxia was already angry, like an angry lion. He clenched his fists and glared at the Confucian scholar.

   But this Confucian scholar also has a face of awe-inspiring righteousness.

   "Enough!" Suddenly, Emperor Suleiman spoke.

  He stood up, squinted his eyes, still calm and calm: "What we are discussing now is the matter of counter-insurgency."

  He used Chinese.

  So the interpreter was busy translating to the old ministers.

Emperor Suleiman said again: "But you are here to engage in a verbal dispute. As Mr. Su said, I will personally lead the imperial guards to crusade against disobedient officials, and wipe out all these rebellious officials and thieves. Only they own Only the blood of relatives can wash away their sins. As for you, Akeyol, how dare you make such a mistake in front of me and insult me ​​so much, do you not take me seriously?"

   This man named Akeyol couldn't help taking a step back in awe, but he seemed a little unwilling.

  Suleiman stared at him. Murderous intent appeared in Suleiman's eyes. These terrifying eyes were daunting.

  Suleiman continued: "I have already decreed that everyone will change their Chinese names and surnames. Can you change them?"

   "I...my father has given me my last name."

  Suleiman's eyes calmed down, and he said calmly: "Then, I ask you to learn Chinese, have you ever learned it?"

"I…"

   "You still call yourself me!"

   "I...my minister..."

   "You rely on the merits of your ancestors, dare to be so rude, and ignore all my words, you can be guilty."

  Akeyol said seriously: "I swear to God..."

   "Come on!"

  Dozens of imperial guards are already watching. They press the scimitars on their waists and rush in like wolves.

   "Take him down!"

  As soon as this remark came out, the old officials were in an uproar, and 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 Praetorian Guards did not come from the Ottoman army horses, but selected some of the strongest boys from the conquered Balkan Slavic families to receive military training and form a force called the New Army.

  These people are called Janissaries, and their members are regularly selected and vetted. They are the most effective soldiers of the Ottoman Empire, the first choice is mainly Greeks, Bulgarians, Albanians, Serbs and Bosnians and Slavs. If a soldier has talent, he can be promoted to Kasha or even the Prime Minister. These new troops were slaves and the backbone of the army, known for their cruelty and strict discipline.

Therefore, for them, the only thing they serve is the Ottoman monarch. They don't even care whether their loyal one is the emperor or the sultan, let alone what language the emperor wants them to learn. If the emperor asks them to learn Turkish, they learn it. , Let them learn Chinese and Confucianism, they will never have the slightest doubt.

   After all... whatever the language is, it has nothing to do with their mother tongue.

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

  The guards grabbed Akeyol and dragged him out.

   "Let's end the discussion today. Prepare to gather the army, announce to the world, and crusade against rebellion. Anyone who dares to rebel will be killed."

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

   Wait until everyone is gone.

  Suleiman returned to his gentle look. He is still a cultivated person. Whether it is smiling or angry, deep down in his heart, it is the result of his own weighing. He is definitely not a reckless person!

  Besides, a Confucian scholar who was in charge of recording was also about to resign.

  Suleiman suddenly stopped him: "What's your name?"

   "Student Chen Ye."

"Oh." Suleiman said with a smile: "Just now you have been making notes on daily life. I heard that you have a tradition of compiling history and letting future generations use history as a mirror. This is a great tradition. Therefore, I also Yes, please come and record my words and deeds so that future generations can know. However, when you were recording, you saw that I took down Akeyol, what do you think?"

   "My emperor is a sage, he can clearly observe the details, and he can make a clear judgment."

  Suleiman nodded.

  These Confucian scholars speak very nicely and safeguard their own interests everywhere. This is my most intuitive feeling.

"You don't have to be afraid, you can speak freely, what should I do with this Akeyol, he comes from a prominent big family, as he said, his ancestors have already made great achievements, and he and I father... had a very deep friendship."

  Chen Ye glanced at Suleiman: "Actually, Your Majesty already has the answer."

   "Have an answer?"

"Yes, when His Majesty ordered him to be taken down, the answer was already given. This person's family is strong and famous. Since His Majesty took him down, this person must have a grudge. If His Majesty let him go He is tantamount to letting the tiger go back to the mountain. Among the old ministers, there are still many people who are dissatisfied with His Majesty's actions, and they still use past achievements to threaten His Majesty. Isn't now... a great time to kill chickens and scare monkeys?"

   "Your Majesty, you should continue to stop and suffer from it. If you can't do it, then in the future..."

   Suleiman instantly understood something.

  He took a deep look at the weak Confucian scholar: "Is it really necessary? What if Akeyol remains loyal?"

   "All of His Majesty's will must be based on the maintenance of the country's discipline. An Akeyol, or a family, no matter how prominent it is, is more important than the country."

  In Suleiman's eyes, a murderous intent has passed.

  He said calmly: "You are right."

  ...

  Chapter 3 is delivered, ask for a monthly pass.
