Chapter 68: Chatting Under the Moon
Selim didn't think that the other party would be an assassin. If even Topkapi Palace could sneak in assassins, the spy leader wouldn't have to do it.
The figures under the moon began to shake, as if they had discovered the Sudan.
The figure turned around and swayed out from behind the tree. Selim was surprised to find that the person he met during the day was none other than Chili Kara Osman.
The girl rolled her hair elegantly and smiled.
"Your Majesty, you are really a busy man. From the time you left Madam's palace to now, I have been waiting for you for nine hours."
Selim ignored what the other party said and asked immediately.
"Why do you stay here? It seems that I haven't given anyone the right to wander around Topakapa Palace."
The girl pursed her lips and smiled.
"Your Majesty, why are you questioning me like this? I am not a rebel like Aladdin.
I have always had nothing but admiration for His Majesty, so why would I want to do harm to you?
As for why I appear here, it is naturally because of Mrs. Mishu Delpa’s permission.
After all, no matter who it is, when they meet someone like you, Your Majesty, they always want to have an in-depth communication with you. "
Selim was a little surprised by the other party's behavior. She obviously looked like a lady, but these words were not what an ordinary rich girl would say.
Suleiman's daughter could tell that the other party was not on the same level as the one in front of her.
The two walked in the courtyard of Topkapi Palace, and the moonlight stretched their shadows.
Sultan asked calmly.
"I can see that you are a smart man. For whom you are here, tell me directly without beating around the bush.
I don't have much time to chat with you. "
The girl was not annoyed when she heard what Sultan said. She just stared at Sultan with a pair of black eyes and giggled.
"Since Your Majesty wants me to speak frankly, then I will speak frankly. Your Majesty, please don't blame me for being rude."
Selim replied.
"But it doesn't matter."
The girl suddenly stood up on her tiptoes, reached into the Sudan's ear, and whispered softly.
"I am here for Your Majesty."
Selim hurriedly moved away, trying to avoid the sudden attack.
Seeing the Sultan's appearance, the girl was stunned for a moment, looking a little sad, and then she laughed again, seemingly happier.
"Speak carefully and don't touch me."
Selim warned with a cold face.
He was a little confused. Does this girl believe in Islam?
Where has the usual conservatism gone? They are no different from the Catholic French.
The girl didn't care after being warned, she stuck out her tongue playfully and replied.
"Yes, Your Majesty.
Selim asked directly.
"As you, don't talk nonsense anymore.
Manuk asked you to come and convey his message. "
The girl became serious this time, pretending to be thinking.
After a while, the girl spoke.
"Well, Your Majesty, I can come here for my father or myself. These are not important. The important thing is who am I leaving for?"
After the girl finished saying this, she stopped talking and just looked at the Sudan silently.
The cold wind passed through the courtyard and hit the trees on both sides of the road, and the sound of swaying branches echoed in the courtyard.
The girl looked at Sultan, puffed her mouth and said.
"Okay, okay, Your Majesty, let me speak first.
In fact, you also know your situation. After the "Yu Zhao" was promulgated, it did have an effect, but it was not obvious.
After all, in the first stage, many wealthy families were still able to suppress the small families below.
But for you, this development is somewhat unsatisfactory.
What's more, there are still people who are constantly causing trouble for you.
With your intelligence, you should be able to guess who is behind the Sipashi Cavalry incident. "
Selim did not speak, but walked forward silently.
Seeing that the sultan didn't speak, the girl didn't stop either.
"Your Majesty, these things are indeed, and they will only be troubles for you, but your time has been wasted.
They may take as short as three months or as long as half a year. As long as the local community is managed and the distribution of benefits is negotiated, aren't you afraid of something like "you come to my house and I come to yours"?
For them, the official transfer system and first-mover advantage will bring them together to form a larger interest group.
How will low-level officials be promoted at that time? Your merit examination system is indeed a great weapon, but when the official position in charge of this matter is seized by them, how should you respond?
Your situation is like a tree in this cold wind. The branches are already being shaken. Will the roots be the next step? "
Selim laughed at this time.
"No need to be alarmist in front of me, Qili.
First, these people can't come to an agreement.
Second, who said the cake can only be shared with them. "
The girl nodded.
"Your Majesty, I understand what you mean.
You also have the New Order faction behind you.
The center of this circle is the royal family, the army, and the bureaucrats (it is not accurate to say bureaucrats here, but it can be said to be similar).
But this is not a stable alliance, even if you are the leader.
As the Sultan, you are naturally separated from your ministers. The only one who can accompany you is the spy leader you picked up from the slave market.
As for others, they can only cling to a certain minister who has your trust.
For example, Hussein Pasha, the son of Kuchuk-Hussein Pasha and your cousin Lady Esma.
His father had a good relationship with Hassan Pasha, and he himself was one of the generals of the New Army.
It can be said that the Kuchuk-Hussein Pasha family has already received the support of the navy and part of the New Army.
Your Foreign Minister Ishak Pasha is both the housekeeper of Lady Mishudelpa and the person closest to you when you were a child.
Therefore, he has the support of Lady Mishudelpa, and some Anatolian dignitaries (including the Chapan family) have also placed their bets on him.
Your financial bureaucrats gathered around Izzet Mehmed Pasha, who is indeed a good regulator for you, but he is also an important player in the New Order.
Another part of the New Army is controlled by Haji Pasha, who is far away in Egypt, and he is also an important part of the New Order.
These people who rose as faction leaders compete and cooperate with each other, and they constantly compete to control key positions in the center.
In this process, there will definitely be many individuals and groups, including members of the empire's ruling party, whose positions will constantly change from supporting reform to opposing reform.
They will unite with local tyrants to oppose the new order together
In this case, what are you going to do? After all, opportunities like Aladdin Pasha are no longer likely to appear, and the Great Purge will not work. "
It sounds like she is thinking about the Sultan, but the faint smile on the corner of the girl's mouth is puzzling.
Please read it again. I saw some book friends say that they only want to see hegemony and farming, and don't want to see emotional drama.
But what I want to say is that I actually can't write emotional dramas. The reason why I arrange the heroine is actually political factors. You may wish to take a look at the identities of these female characters who have appeared.
