"What about Khalil? Didn't he come and tell me personally? ”

Mehmed II, Zaganos Pasha and Saruga Pasha looked at each other, and the religious clerics such as Aga, Effendi, Khoja, Qadi, and Reis, as well as the heads of the army and navy, were silent.

Prior to this, Muhammad II's strength on the surface was not much worse than Khalil's, and among the people who were qualified to participate in the Imperial Council, those who supported Muhammad II were only a little worse than those who supported Khalil, but now, all of them surrendered to the enemy, and under the gaze of Mehmed II, none of them stood up to speak.

"Hmph, Khalil has such a great ability to quietly turn all my people against him, it seems that he has been planning for a long time."

Mehmed II did not look nervous, although there was some urgency, but not very much.

Sarujapasha didn't feel anything, but Zaganos Pasha keenly felt that something was wrong, and judging from the fact that Muhammad II was so strong in his control, Muhammad II would have been furious if he had not had a little support.

"Bell~"

Suddenly, there was a loud bang, followed by a chant,

"Grand Vizier Khalil Pasha to ~"

"Governor Turahan, Ankara Kadimiguel Saba... to~" (Kadi is the Turkic word for judge)

In the front, the five horsetail balds of the Great Vizier fluttered in the wind, followed by the three horsetail balds of Tulahan, and the rest of them were one.

In the Turkic ancestral system, the Sultan traveled with seven horsetail vultures, five viziers, three local governors and viziers, and then one, and the vultures were the nomads' dakhs, showing their identity as masters.

When Khalil Pasha arrived, all the people in the hall, except for Muhammad II, stood up in unison, led by Zaganos Pasha and Saruga Pasha, and all the people spoke in unison,

"Welcome to the Grand Vizier, and may Allah's Christmas day and night be with you."

In the midst of the congratulations, even Mohammed II's gloomy eyes became a lot more pleasing to the eye, Khalil was in a good mood, came to the hall, raised his head and looked at the Sultan on the throne, Khalil looked at Mehmed II carefully, and then smiled slightly, stroked his chest, and spoke loudly,

"Chandar Le Khalil, I respectfully ask Your Majesty to abdicate."

"Chanturahan, Chan Miguel Saba, Chan Inez Haas, Chancellor Adel Shadley... I respectfully ask Your Majesty to abdicate. ”

Mehmed II did not respond, and the crowd did not look up, but a look on his face appeared in everyone's hearts, and they couldn't help but laugh in their hearts,

Contrary to what everyone thought, Mehmed II was still very interesting, and his expression was completely different from the slightly urgent expression before, which must have been a signal.

"Lord Grand Vizier is so sure... Are you going to eat me? ”

Khalil frowned, not knowing what Muhammad II meant, Saluga Pasha was the first to jump out and point at Mehmed II,

"Muhammad, you are already a trapped beast, even if you have the ability to reach the sky, you can't get rid of the hunter's sword and consciously abdicate, this is the last chance we give you."

"Shut !!"

A sudden roar suffocated the words that Saluga Pasha wanted to say back to his throat, and the angry Saluga Pasha's face turned red, he had not been reprimanded for a long time since he became a vizier, in the past, in order to win him over to deal with Khalil, Muhammad II treated him well,

"You have forgotten who promoted you to the position of vizier, who gave you power, and who shielded your stupid, greedy, arrogant people, and now you have forgotten all of them?!"

Muhammad II's accusation made Saruja Pasha feel a little embarrassed, this kind of relationship between "lifting the lord and lifting the son" is relatively solid in the East and the West, and it is generally not betrayed, because it is too easy to be spurned, as long as you cherish the feathers, you will not do such a thing, otherwise the consequences are indeed serious, and you will be spurned by others when you die.

"Enough, Muhammad, do you think you have a way out?"

Khalil spoke harshly and hurriedly, not only to Muhammad II, but also to Sarujapasha and the others, in order to remind them that there was no room for relaxation and that they should not be in the wrong position.

"Where's the sword-bearer?"

Turning his head, Khalil asked about the whereabouts of the sword-bearer.

The most famous artifact representing the royal power in ancient China is the jade seal of the country, which represents the mandate of heaven, and the "jade seal of the country" of the Osman is the sword that is said to be the founding sultan, called the "sword of the Ottoman".

Just as everyone was looking for the whereabouts of the sword-wielder, the sound of the vast horn sounded, coming from outside the city, and everyone's spirits were lifted, and the movements stopped.

"Dada~"

The sound of footsteps and the collision of the armor leaves continued to sound, a large group of soldiers quickly walked in, divided into two sides, this army was fully armed, with white high hats on their heads, and all kinds of weapons in their hands, but mainly swords, and there were also crossbows and crossbows, although the weapons were different, but all of them were extremely energetic, their eyes were blazing, their actions were powerful, they were not flustered between their gestures, and they were not nervous when they saw so many big people, it could be seen that this was an elite.

"Yay... The Janissary Legion? ”

When he saw these soldiers, Khalil sighed in his heart, and after a while the people saw the leader who had come in, and he walked directly to Muhammad II, turned his head sharply, and looked at Khalil's group.

"Grab them all!"

"You dare? Marcozi, you want to betray us? Aren't you afraid that all those things about you will be exposed? ”

Khalil's eyes widened, he couldn't believe how Markozi could have rebelled, his position was also pushed up by Khalil, could it be that he, like Saruga, betrayed his "lord"?

Marcozi looked at Khalil with complicated eyes, but stepped forward himself and tied Khalil with a rope,

"I'm sorry, Lord Pasha, I... It had to be so. ”

Marcozzi overestimated himself and underestimated the gold content of the Janissary Legion, all the members of the Janissary Legion were taken from the village by Christians when they were young, they ate and lived together, they were disciplined and affectionate, coupled with the forced conversion to YSL, the loyalty of the Janissaries Legion to the Sultan was incomparable, even if Marcozi did not want to come, he could only be coerced to come over to solve the situation,

The early Janissary legion was different from the late period, from the fifteenth century to the sixteenth century, the Janissary legion has been a model for European infantry, from the age of cold weapons to the age of muskets, in fact it was a group of slaves, the sultan was their master, and therefore, the Janissary legion had infinite loyalty to the sultan, except for Skanderbeg, of course.

However, later, Selim II allowed the Janissaries to succeed their fathers and sons, and in Murad III, in order to celebrate the circumcision of the prince, everyone could join the Janissaries Legions, which led to a sharp decline in the combat effectiveness of the Legions, and gradually became less and less ranked in Europe.

"Khalil, you think you do things perfectly, but you don't know, three people know, everyone knows the truth, just because of this, you also want to bring me down?"

This is how Mohammed II is shaking the morale of the army on Khalil's side, and sure enough, as soon as this statement came out, everyone on Khalil's side was in danger, looking at the people around him, as if the other party was an informer.

In fact, Muhammad II didn't know what Khalil was planning at all, and no one told him, he didn't even know that Zaganos Pasha and Sarujapasha had taken refuge in each other, and he didn't know that the four great families and Khalil were in a bad relationship.

"In the past month, the demand for wine, meat and other banquet supplies in your house has increased significantly, but the strange thing is that I have never seen you entertain guests, and carefully asked the butcher shop, saying that it was only in the last month, I was suspicious of you at the time, so I directly found the officers of the Praetorian Guard, and in the name of going to Cilicia, let the army go out of the city, in order to lure you out and see what you do, I didn't expect it, your ambition is quite big, ah?!"

YSL religion forbids alcohol, but the rulers don't care much, and they are not monks, and the nobles still care about the question of whether to drink or not, so that the later Selim II is called the "drunkard" Selim II, it is conceivable that for the high-level, the ban is a joke, and even more so for Christians, Christianity does not prohibit alcohol, but it is forbidden to get drunk, and alcohol and meat have always been a good tool for negotiation.

"Imprisoned Khalil first, and say that he is sick, and so will the others."

Mehmed II was tempted to kill Khalil to vent his anger, which he had always wanted to do, but he knew that he could not do it now, because the threat of the Romans was imminent, and it would not be a good thing for him to provoke a bipartisan struggle in the local area.

"Also... Secretly confiscated Khalil's assets, first counted out the gold and silver treasures, used them as military funds, and left the real estate alone, and then talked about it after the war. ”

Muhammad II is thinking about it, if this money is more, the war with the Romans can be fought for a while, although Cilicia fell, but the grain is not unbought, but it will definitely go up, after all, people will not know the price of sitting on the ground, this is all international businessmen, and they can't force people, force people to leave, and Khalil has been operating for many years, and the family must be rich, as long as there is enough money and food, the war can continue, Muhammad II believes, if it drags on, Constantine XI would not necessarily be able to drag him out, and soon, of course, his illusions would be shattered.
