Chapter 1503: Cutting Weeds and 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 is really too low.

But……

These words are still fatal.

Su Jin praised Emperor Suleiman very highly, and he took Emperor Suleiman's supremacy as the premise, and in every sentence, he was the principle of the interests of Emperor Suleiman.

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

You do not consider the emperor's face and interests, but you are everywhere. If the new system continues, what will happen to the subjects and how will the subjects complain? Then... in your eyes, is there Emperor Suleiman?

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

When the general translator translated Su Jin's words to his old ministers in a simplified manner.

These old ministers were in trouble.

Someone said, "Hmph, who are you? You are just barbarians from the East. If you don't believe in gods, you will bewitch the Sultan here..."

When Suleiman heard that the man still called him Sultan, he raised his eyebrows slightly, but he still showed no expression.

The man continued to say with a sigh: "This is our homeland, my family can be traced back to the Kay era. Since then, my ancestors have followed the Sultan under the guidance of the gods. Now, you group of Gentiles are accusing me of my intentions? Sultan..." He looked at Suleiman and gritted his teeth and said: "Do you still remember your father? When your father was alive, he hunted with me and fought side by side. We fought in Hungary, and we used to..."

Suleiman had a expressionless face, as if he was weighing the trade-offs.

"Stop!" A Confucian scholar stood up: "The one sitting in front of you is His Majesty the Emperor, and the Emperor is the Supreme Emperor. His father is the Emperor's son of heaven. You deserve to be with him? You say that your ancestors and the ancestors who follow the emperor are the will of the gods. Humph, I, the Great Ottoman Emperor, are the gods. In the eyes of the world, this is true. I dare to ask, who is your god?"

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

But this Confucian scholar also looked righteous.

"Enough!" Suddenly, Emperor Suleiman spoke.

He stood up, squinted his eyes, still calm: "What we are discussing now is the matter of suppressing the rebellion."

He used Chinese language.

So I was busy translating to my old ministers.

Emperor Suleiman said again: "But you are here to have a verbal dispute. As Mr. Su said, I will personally lead the Imperial Guards to attack the unjust officials and kill all the traitors. Only the blood of all their relatives can wash away their sins. As for you, Akjol, do you dare to act so recklessly in front of me and be so arrogant that you will not take me seriously?"

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

Suleiman stared at him, and the murderous intent appeared in Suleiman's eyes. These terrible eyes were intimidating.

Suleiman continued: "I have issued an order long ago that everyone will change their Han name and surname. Have you changed it?"

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

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

"I……"

"You still call yourself me!"

"I...me..."

"You dare to be so rude by relying on the merits of your ancestors. You don't take my words seriously. Do you know your guilt?"

Akyoll said seriously: "I swear to heaven..."

"Come!"

Dozens of imperial guards were already eyeing each other, and they rushed in like wolves and tigers, pressing the scimitar at their waists.

"Catch him!"

As soon as this statement came out, the old ministers were upset and they looked at Suleiman in surprise.

Apparently, they underestimated the young man.

The guards did not hesitate.

This comes from the military system of the Ottoman Imperial Guards.

The Imperial Guards did not come from the Ottoman army, but selected some of the strongest boys from the conquered Balkan Slavs' families, received military training, and formed a unit called the New Army.

These people are called Sultan's personal soldiers, and their members are regularly selected and reviewed. They are the most combative soldiers of the Ottoman Empire, and their first choices are Greeks, Bulgarians, Albanians, Serbs, Bosnians and Slavs. If soldiers are talented, they can be promoted to Kasha or even the prime minister. These new troops are slaves and the backbone of the army, known for their cruelty and strict discipline.

Therefore, for them, the only one they serve was the Ottoman monarch. They didn't even care whether they were loyal to the emperor or the sultan, let alone what language the emperor wanted them to learn. When the emperor asked them to learn Turkish, they would learn, let them learn Chinese and Confucianism, and they would never have any doubts.

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

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

The guards took Akjol and dragged him out.

"Let's just stop here today, prepare to assemble the army, announce the world, and fight against the rebellion. Anyone who dares to follow the rebellion will be killed."

The old ministers were frightened and retreated one after another.

Wait until everyone leaves.

Suleiman replied with a gentle look. He is still a well-educated person. Whether it is smile or anger, deep down, he is the result of his own weighing. He is definitely not a reckless person!

On the side, a Confucian scholar who was in charge of the record was also ready to retire.

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

"Student Chen Ye."

"Oh." Suleiman said with a smile: "You have been making notes for your daily life just now. I heard that you have a tradition of writing history and letting future generations use history as a mirror. This is a great tradition. Therefore, I am willing to ask you to record my words and deeds so that future generations can know. But, when you were recording, what do you think when you saw me taking Akjol?"

"My emperor is wise and wise, and he will have a clear judgment."

Suleiman nodded.

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

"You don't have to be afraid, you can speak freely. What should I do with this Akjol? He came from a prominent family. As he said, his ancestors had made great contributions, and he had a very deep friendship with my father...."

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, he was already at the beginning. This family is strong and a prominent family. Since His Majesty took him down, this person must be resentful. If His Majesty let him go, it would be like letting the tiger go back to the mountain. Now, many of the old ministers are still dissatisfied with His Majesty's actions. They also use past achievements to threaten His Majesty. Now... isn't this a great time to kill chickens and scare monkeys?"

"Your Majesty, you should be constantly quashed and suffer the chaos. If you cannot eliminate the roots, then in the future..."

Suleiman understood something in an instant.

He glanced at the weak Confucian scholar deeply: "Is it really necessary? What if Akyoer remained loyal?"

"All your Majesty's wills must be based on the principles and disciplines of maintaining the country. A Kyor, or a family, even if they are prominent, is more important than the country."

A killing intention had passed through Suleiman's eyes.

He said calmly: "You are right."
