Chapter 1956: United

When Ibrahim Pasha saw Sultan Suleiman, he felt a little nervous inexplicably, but he still bowed to Suleiman with a calm expression. .

Sultan Suleiman did not raise his eyes. At this time, he was playing with the golden knife in his hand, breathing alcohol in his mouth, and turning a deaf ear to Ibrahim Pasha's salute.

Ibrahim Pasha glanced at Suleiman in awe and said, "Your Majesty Sultan, I have already placed the Tatars."

"Oh." Sultan Suleiman looked up at Ibrahim Pasha in an understatement, and then said, "That Tatar must have promised you the benefits."

A hint of chill suddenly appeared on the back of Ibrahim Pasha.

How did Sultan Suleiman know?

Ibrahim Pasha had countless thoughts in his mind, and he was a little panicked.

Suleiman inserted the scimitar back into the scabbard inlaid with gems, but said with a smile: "Today I saw this Tatar. From him, I saw confidence and a arrogant aura. I don't believe that such a person is just coming to rescue Istanbul, but I'm afraid there is a bigger intention. Naturally... In fact, even if I have never seen him, he was thousands of miles away and suddenly agreed to rescue and came here from the extreme east, he thought that he was not just as simple as rescuing a friendly country."

"The biggest characteristic of this kind of person is that he has too much confidence in himself. Ibrahim Pasha, you grew up with me. After all, we have more friendship than you and the Tatar. Now tell me, what benefits did he promise you?"

Ibrahim Pasha's face suddenly changed. When Suleiman said the word "Friendship", he felt a huge sense of horror in his heart. The next moment, he said in panic: "He promised to give me something that His Majesty could not give."

Suleiman's face became strange. He seemed to have no concern about Ibrahim Pasha's "betrayal". Instead, he murmured: "What can't be given? Where did he get his self-confidence?"

Suleiman suddenly discovered that these Tatars were more interesting than what Ibrahim Pasha said before.

He thought for a while, then smiled and said, "Ibrahim Pasha, it's not your fault. You have accompanied me to study since I was a child, and even made great contributions to me when I was fighting for the position of Sultan. I know that your loyalty will never be tempted by him, right? You are a smart and cunning person, so you pretended to agree to him, right?"

His tone was gentle, with a little sincere emotion, but before I could wait for Ibrahim Pasha's answer, he couldn't help but sigh, and then said, "I was born in the Sultan House since I was a child. It is the royal family of the royal family. It is extremely noble, but I have no relatives or friends. If I want to survive, I must kill my brothers and sisters to achieve great things. But... you... Ibrahim Pasha, you are different. I know that only you can trust in this world, don't be blinded by others. These people are all pagans. He promised you good things, but it is just a temptation to you. Now, can you tell me what plans he has?"

Obviously... Ibrahim Pasha felt that Suleiman suddenly became not scary in front of those steel, but now, Ibrahim Pasha didn't know how to face Suleiman, and she felt trembling all over.

Ibrahim Pasha looked at Suleiman's kind face, but what he thought of was the night when Suleiman killed his brother with his own hands.

That night, the Sultan also ate some wine. He called his brothers to the court and specially chose a dull knife. Yes, it was a dull knife that was not sharp. He used this dull knife to cut his brother's flesh again and again. The knife was too dull and had no sharpness at all. It was precisely because of this that the pain of tearing and grinding the bones made Ibrahim Pasha who was watching all this at that time still couldn't forget that scene. Every time he thought of it, he could clearly feel the upset rising from his heart.

Ibrahim Pasha took a deep breath and said, "I am a believer, the Sultan's most sincere friend, and his majesty's slave."

Suleiman just smiled faintly and said, "I know you will answer this way. Just so happen that I have a letter here to show you. After you have read it, you will know what to choose."

As he said that, Suleiman took out a cowhide letter and handed it to Ibrahim Pasha. The cover of the letter was in Latin. Ibrahim Pasha was a Greek, so how could he not understand it?

He looked at it briefly and showed a shock on his face, then said, "King of France, is willing to unite with His Majesty?"

This letter can be described as stingy, starting with a dear friend, and this passionate letter reveals the concerns of the French king about the Holy Roman Emperor. It is strange that the French king actually used words like barbarians to describe the Holy Roman Emperor.

However, given the situation of France, Ibrahim Pasha immediately understood.

Since the rise of the Habsburg family, France has been surrounded by the Habsburg family. The once arrogant France has even been in danger of becoming a second-rate. The Habsburg family not only put huge pressure on France from outside, but also colluded with many French lords internally.

Now, they launched the crusade, and the most damaged one was the French king. Unless the French king ruled the entire Francophone, any overlord would be extremely unfavorable for France. So many fragmented principalities of Francophone could bow down to the overlord, but the French king could not.

But the letter was really short, and the contents were just a few words, which made Ibrahim Pasha quite puzzled. However, what he really cared about was the following part. France was willing to unite with the Ottoman and wait for the right time to deal with the barbarian.

Ibrahim Pasha was stunned for a moment, and many thoughts flashed through his mind.

Speaking of France, its status in Francis has always been transcendent. This time, nearly 30% of the army's forces came from the French army. If France was willing to stab the crusaders in the back at this time, then the crisis in Istanbul could naturally be solved.
