Others, who are the so-called other people?

Of course it was the Pasha and the generals.

At least half of the Pasha and the generals in the Ottoman Empire were from the Sultan Guards, and what are their common characteristics?

They were slaves under the Ottoman "blood tribute" system. These pagan boys from Christian families were recruited since childhood. Some of them were baptized by Ottoman training in court servants or military training. After completing the training, they entered the army or served as civil servants, such as the old Koprulu. He was born like this, even his surname, because when he retired, he lived in Koprulu, a small town in northern Anatolia, so he took "Koprulu" as his surname.

There were many people like the old Koprulu in the Ottoman Empire, and the Sultan also trusted these people very much. After all, they never betrayed the Sultan because their power came from the Sultan. Without the support of the Sultan, these people would be torn by the Ottomans and lords of Shipahi. After all, those lords were the real nobles of the Ottoman Empire, but under the suppression of the Sultan, those people had never been able to grasp too much power.

But what if there is no Sultan?

Because he knew the most complex political situation in the Ottoman Empire, Ahmed Koprulu knew very well what he should do now.

It is not only him who needs to consider this issue now, but also the generals.

As soon as the old Koprulu became prime minister, he immediately began to put those who supported him in important positions. The same was true for Ahmed Koprulu, especially for generals from the Guards to serve as chiefs such as Pasha.

Soon, more than 20 generals including Kuchukpasha, Alipasha and other two came. They all had a common origin from the Sultan Guards, and were all pagan slaves, or slaves of the Sultan.

Now, they were sitting there, facing Ahmed Koprulu, and since they learned that Mustafa Koprulu had come here, they had already vaguely guessed that something might have happened, but no matter what, they did not expect that the problem would be so serious.

The Sultan is dead!

Killed by Chinese assassins!

Is this...real?

Seeing that no one spoke, Ahmed Koprulu broke the silence.

"Okay, now everyone knows what's going on. What do you think now?"

Abazapasha said as his words fell.

"Since the Chinese assassinated His Majesty, we must immediately attack the Chinese without any cost, defeat their troops, kill all the Chinese, and kill their princes! Avenge the Sultan!"

Loyal minister!

When Abaza's words fell, there was almost no response around him. Why not?

Because everyone is thinking about another question, what should they do?

"Revenge must be avenged, but before taking revenge, a new Sultan should be selected to succeed the throne, and this is the most important thing!"

"That's right, the country cannot be without a king for a day!"

"But now Istanbul is under the occupation of the Chinese, the princes..."

Suddenly, the person who spoke turned into a mute, and the other people's faces suddenly changed, and some people's faces even turned pale.

Allah bless...no prince anymore!

Without the prince, there will be no sultan. Without the sultan, will there be Ottomans?

have!

There are certainly Ottomans, but one thing is certainly not them!

At this moment, their natural idea came a decade ago, when several major governors of Anatolia and Syria took advantage of the front line of Koplulu, they rose up and rebel and marched towards the capital. At that time, the lords of Sipahi not only tried to support a new sultan, but also wanted to clean up all their sultan guards. It was precisely because of this that they stood firmly in the old sultan and quelled the rebellion at any cost.

Now, there are no princes... No, there are "princes" in Anatolia, and there are some distant relatives of the royal family. Isn't there one who rebeled from Pashari? Now, they don't need to rebel and can elect a new sultan, a sultan controlled by the Sipahis.

If those Sipahis were given the power of the empire, would those Sipahis tolerate them?

The answer is obvious.

"Yes, the "golden bird cage" was blown down when the Chinese shelled Istanbul, and the princes were buried alive under the gravel. According to the current situation, no prince survived. Of course, this does not mean that no one inherited the position of the Sultan. In Anatolia, there are some royal distant relatives..."

Then Ahmed Koprulu emphasized again.

"Although they are distant relatives hundreds of years ago, they are far from the royal family, and many of them are the Lords of Sipahi who have been passed down for many years, they have the right to inherit the royal family. If nothing unexpected happens, someone among them should be selected as the new sultan!"

What!

Let Sipahi be the Sultan!

Allah blesses them, in this way, they will never have a way out!

After a panic, the generals turned their attention to Ahmed Coprulu. Since Vizier summoned them, he must have his ideas. After all, their identities are the same. Even if Vizier was born as a "noble" person, he could not change his true identity.

"Dear Vizier, I think you must have your ideas. I, as your loyal friend, will fully support your decision!"

Without any hesitation, Kuchukpasha, who was his confidant, stood up and expressed his attitude, while others also stood up to show their support for Vizier.

Supporting Vizier now means supporting yourself and saving your life.

As for the cause of Sudan's death, it doesn't matter at all!

"My decision..."

Ahmed Coprulu looked at everyone and shook his head.

"To be honest, I don't know what to do? Your Majesty died in assassination and said he was a Chinese assassin, but I didn't believe it was true. I dare say that there must be a conspiracy!"

Well!

In an instant, everyone was stunned! Even Kuchuck was stunned and stared at Davizier incredible face.

The noble Great Vizier, what are you talking about!

Don’t you know, now you no longer want to talk about the cause of Sultan’s death? He is the only one who died. It doesn’t matter how he died. What’s important is that you have to find a way to save us. When you always do something, you must have a way to deal with it!

Many times, everyone pretends to be confused because it is difficult to be confused, but you always say, how can you do this...

Just as everyone was confused, Ahmed Koprulu continued.

"Even if the Chinese want to assassinate His Majesty, how could they succeed easily? Or, they are not Chinese at all!"

Of course, you are not Chinese, you are old!

We know, don't force us to figure it out so clearly!

"Who would it be if it wasn't a Chinese?"

Just as he was analyzing and studying the real internal factors of this matter, Ahmed Koprulu then said.

"Who will be the biggest beneficiary if you kill Your Majesty? Who is the beneficiary?"

Davizier's rebellious question made everyone stunned at first, and then suddenly realized the truth.

"Ah! It's them, it's them! Why did Hasan Pasha in Aleppo launch a rebellion? Wasn't it just to change their sultan? Now they... Ah! Great Vizier, it must be those sipashes. It's them who killed His Majesty and wanted to take the opportunity to change the sultan! It's the Chinese they colluded with!"

In an instant, when Ali's words fell, the people who were already a little confused understood what Davizier said. He wanted to make it clear, and it was clearly to "frame" the killing of the Sultan on those Shipahis.

alright!

Now Shipahi is a rebel and the murderer of assassinating the Sultan. If that is the case, what qualifications do they have to choose the Sultan?

Since that's the case, the Sultan must be chosen by them.

The people who were originally panicked couldn't help but relax, and they all blamed the cruelty and shamelessness of Sipahi, and of course they did not forget to shout to avenge them. Of course, they also wanted to show their loyalty to Great Vizier. Why! Because now they want to unite around the high-level imperial leaders headed by Great Vizier to quell the rebellion!

Facing the passionate crowd, Ahmed Koprulu, whose purpose has been achieved, said in a deep voice.

"Yes, now we have to face reality and ruthlessly suppress the insurgents. I believe that those venomous snakes must want to give us the most deadly blow, but this time, we must completely solve them and solve the biggest cancer in the empire!"

Who is the cancer in the empire?

This is not important, what is important is that they must protect their property and their glory and glory!

This is the most important thing!

They may be dependent on the Sultan, but these dependents also have their own ideas, especially now, when they can get married, have children, own property, and pass on their property and status to their descendants, they naturally know what choices they should make.

"But, Great Vizier, will the Chinese take the opportunity to attack us when we quell the rebellion of the rebels?"

This is indeed an unavoidable question. They are fighting with the Chinese now!

Moreover, those "rebels" colluded with the Chinese!

Even if everyone knows that this is fake, it won’t prevent them from worrying that the Chinese will take advantage of the situation!

"I will negotiate with the Chinese in person! That's right now, you must be prepared!"

In fact, while convening the meeting of these Pashas, ​​Ahmed Koprulu had already sent people to negotiate peace with the Chinese. This news really scared Chen Sen.

Why?

Because a few hours ago, they were still fighting hard to attack, why did they have to negotiate peace so quickly?

"Will there be a fraud?"

"What a scam?"

"A peace talk!"

"Peacekeeping, Your Highness said that this battle is a battle to destroy the country. The Ottomans are immortal, so what are the peace talks about!"

Faced with the various opinions of the generals, Chen Sen sneered.

"Don't they know? Your Highness has long told the world that since they already know, they still have to negotiate peace..."

"Yes, they are going to destroy their country, and they still have to negotiate peace. No conspiracy is necessary. Could it be that they want to take the opportunity to assassinate the general town?"

"Assassinate me? If they kill me, they will win. If that's the case, they will still be fighting that battle."
To be continued...
