Chapter 122: Full of Martial Virtue

Suleiman is not an ordinary civil servant, he has been on the battlefield.

In the original time and space, this man once led his family's private soldiers to fight the Russian army head-on and repelled the opponent.

If we have to describe Suleiman's fighting power, it can be said that ordinary elite soldiers cannot beat him.

And Suleiman is a more insidious person, often fighting with others with wisdom rather than strength.

Now, the performance has begun.

"Chief Anta, how are you?" Suleiman walked to Anta-Kozan enthusiastically, as if he had completely forgotten how he had lost face to the other party at the previous rally.

Anta-Kozan was too lazy to pay attention to him, and turned his head away directly, not looking at Suleiman at all.

But some people or a qualified politician don't care about this kind of low-level slap in the face, Suleiman went up and sat opposite Anta-Kozan.

"Old Patriarch, you know me too.

I, Suleiman, have always respected the Kozan family. I had my reasons for being rude last time."

"You? Reasons? Why, you didn't get any bones from your master, so you came back to keep warm, right?"

Anta-Kozan laughed disdainfully. He was stubborn but not stupid. He could still see Suleiman's intention.

After the last meeting, the alliance between the two families had basically broken down. Who would believe this guy's nonsense?

Do you really think that only their Chapan family is good at playing tricks in the entire Ottoman Empire? The Kozan family is not a fool like the Janikli family. They worked hard to send troops to Egypt, but ended up dying and their family was destroyed. Anta-Kozan would not do such a thing.

You must know that exchanging interests with local forces is the tradition of the Ottoman Empire. He can barely accept the rest of the changes. .

Disbanding private soldiers is fine, everyone will not raise them openly; distributing land is fine, it just so happens that the Kozan family is about to transform.

But I helped, but the Sultan showed no mercy, which is not authentic.

I tolerated your reform and religious liberalization, but I couldn't tolerate your help and you didn't give me any return.

Yes, you are the Sultan, I can't do anything to you, but I want to wear traditional clothes, you can't say anything, this is my freedom.

This is Anta-Kozan's mentality. He is not unaware of the seemingly slow but huge changes in the Ottoman Empire. He just lived in the old era for a long time and found it difficult to adapt to the new environment or he couldn't adapt. He was too old and didn't know how to adapt.

Suleiman was able to clearly realize this, so he chose to cut off, but since the Sultan almost said that he wanted to watch the show, he had no choice but to use the old guy to boost his performance.

"Hey, old patriarch, why do you think I said that last time? I was to protect you and the Kozan family."

Suleiman interrupted directly, regardless of whether the other party listened to him or not, anyway, he wanted to attract the other party's attention.

There is a reason why he said this. Suleiman thought he knew him better than Anta-Kozan.

In fact, although the Kozan family is a major overlord in the southern Anatolia region, it is not without rivals.

This involves the history of the Kozan family. Before Anta-Kozan took charge of the family, the Kozan family was also a powerful family but with limited strength.

In addition, he blocked the way for Suleiman's Chapan family to expand its strength to the south, so it was actually in a more dangerous situation.

But since Anta-Kozan took control of the family, he believed that with the current situation of the Kozan family, if it did not become stronger, it would be self-destruction.

So he seized the opportunity of the Russo-Turkish War. In the last Russo-Turkish War, when Ahmed III, the father of Sethir the Great, ruled, the Kozan family did its best to provide troops and funds for the Sultan at that time.

Moreover, the private soldiers of the Kozan family looked particularly impressive in the Ottoman Guards' unsightly record, which made Anta-Kozan gain the trust of Ahmed III and successfully obtain more tax-farming contracts, gradually becoming the strongest family in Southern Anatolia.

For Anta-Kozan, he considered himself the revitalizer and protector of the Kozan family.

Hearing Suleiman's words, this was undoubtedly unbearable for him.

"Protect? You? Do you think I am no longer capable of leading the Kozan family?"

Anta-Kozan could not accept this question, and he directly questioned Suleiman.

Suleiman was not annoyed, but just smiled and said.

"Well, what you said is not wrong.

Because I really look down on your methods."

Suleiman's words were undoubtedly a naked ridicule, but Anta-Kozan didn't care.

He retorted directly.

"So you think you are very clever? You volunteered to help Janikli when he was destroyed. Did you get any benefits after the success?

He wanted to disband his private soldiers and divide the land. You were the first to stand up and support him. What benefits did you get?

You even lost the control of Yozmit, which was built by the Chapan family for generations.

You simply sold the entire Chapan family to him."

Anta-Kozan's words were simply not painful to Suleiman. What benefits did the Chapan family get? Would Suleiman be stupid enough to expose it? Only old guys like Anta-Kozan only care about the immediate benefits.

But, the words were said and the purpose was achieved. Although the means were rough, it didn't matter. It was enough to let the Sultan see his loyalty.

According to the recent news from the palace, His Majesty has intended to replace Haji Pasha, who is in power in Egypt, and recalled him to replace the Grand Vizier or Prime Minister Yusuf Pasha who is about to step down.

The most likely person to serve as the Governor of Egypt at that time is Ishak Pasha. After this person is away from the central government, the faction originally led by Ishak Pasha must need a new leader. This is his chance.

It is also a time specially created by His Majesty. After all, Ishak Pasha is His Majesty's teacher. It is not suitable for such a powerful person to sit in this position for a long time.

The reason why His Majesty recalled Haji Pasha is essentially because of his prestige.

Although this person has not been in politics for as long as Yusuf Pasha, the elimination of the Mamluks has added a lot of points to him. Letting Haji Pasha be the Prime Minister of the State Council is more conducive to integrating domestic strength and doing a good job in the future.

Thinking of this, Suleiman looked at Anta-Kozan with a gradually fiery look, which made the latter a little hairy.

Suleiman stood up, grabbed Anta-Kozan's robe and shouted.

"Old man, why are you slandering the Sultan?"

Suleiman then threw a punch and knocked Anta-Kozan to the ground. This scene immediately made the people in the hall look here in surprise.

Standing on the terrace, Emperor Sai looked at the punch and couldn't help twitching his mouth. What the hell, how can martial virtue be so abundant.
