Chapter 1129: Escaped from the brink of death, but not completely alive.

Anyone can see that Napoleon III wants to get a piece of the pie when France joins the game. This vulture behavior is indeed despicable, but who will stop it, and who can stop it?

The British naturally don't want the French to come in and get involved again. After all, with the French intervention, the British have theoretically cut off the possibility of sending troops to aid the Ottoman Empire.

But at this time, the British really don't have the courage to continue to make enemies on the European continent. The Austrian Empire has already made them exhausted.

If the war with the Austrian Empire had not been prolonged, Britain might not have the courage to declare war on Russia at this time, and it could use its best diplomatic offensive to drive the tiger to swallow the wolf and let Russia and Austria kill each other.

But now it's too late. Not only has the difficulty of implementation increased exponentially, but the success rate is also pitifully low. Even if it succeeds, Britain, which has lost its Mediterranean fleet, may not be able to stand much advantage.

The Russians don't want the French to get involved either. After all, there are more wolves than meat, or the Russians don't want to share their spoils with other countries at all.

However, Nicholas I was only thinking about restoring Constantinople and was unwilling to deal with the French. At most, he would do something about the French republic.

The Ottomans also did not want the French to attack.

But the reality is that no country can stop France from doing this, and no one will do this. Even the Ottomans who were beaten up just asked the other side to be gentle.

The situation in Britain is similar. Due to the war with Austria, the power of the British side in the Mediterranean has been completely lost and it is unable to stop the actions of the French.

In addition to France, Greece and Egypt are also troublesome. Although the two countries are not big, the Ottoman Empire itself is not strong enough, and both countries have experienced defeating the Ottoman Empire.

At this time, the British side did not know that this was a storm stirred up by the Austrian Empire, but now Britain could not think too much and had to mediate the situation in the Near East immediately.

Topkapi Palace, this building with Byzantine style has always been the highest power of the Ottoman Empire.

There is no lack of conspiracy and killing in this majestic and magnificent palace. In 1595, after Muhammad III ascended the throne, he executed all his 19 brothers. Ibrahim I ordered 280 concubines and palace maids to be put into sacks and drowned alive just because he was in a bad mood.

Suleiman the Magnificent's queen murdered his eldest son. Selim II slaughtered his brothers after he came to power. The bloody inheritance law often staged the drama of killing brothers in Topkapi Palace.

In addition, the power of the prime minister and the power of the king, the eunuchs and the concubines also clashed fiercely here.

Majid wanted to be a "civilized man" recognized by the West, and did not continue the ancient bloody tradition of the Ottoman Empire. His brother Abdul Aziz had a considerable degree of personal freedom.

Since the main guards responsible for the coup in history had been eliminated, the two sides killing each other in Topkapi Palace at this time seemed somewhat unprofessional.

Abdul Aziz's supporters clashed fiercely with the armed forces under the concubines and eunuchs, and the famous flower hall became a slaughterhouse.

First, several concubines and eunuchs who refused to surrender were disemboweled by Abdul Aziz's men, and then the concubines and eunuchs who successfully counterattacked skinned and pulled out the rebels.

The two sides slaughtered each other repeatedly, but they could not determine the winner because of their similar strength.

Reshid Pasha had the ability to end it all, but he wavered after seeing the bloody massacre in the palace.

The Ottoman soldiers were also stunned by the scene before them. They had never seen such a bloody scene, and there were miserable corpses everywhere.

Especially the once exquisite and sacred flower hall, a large amount of internal organs and blood plasma made the ground like a quagmire.

Even the generals who killed countless people could not help but vomit. Compared with this place, the environment of the battlefield was too peaceful and comfortable.

Finally, Reshid Pasha and his men withdrew from the palace. Such killing should have continued until one of the parties was completely killed.

But at this time, Magid I, who had been in a coma for many days, suddenly woke up. His first order was to order the new army to quell the rebellion in the palace.

Abdul Aziz and his supporters fled the palace in a hurry. The reason why he escaped from the palace was not because Magid wanted to continue to be a civilized person or was soft-hearted.

Abdul Aziz and his supporters were able to escape from the palace because of multi-party game. The British hoped to support a sultan who was easier to control.

And Reshid Pasha did not want to kill them all. It was not surprising for a grand vizier who was in a very high position to bet on multiple parties, because such people always wanted such days to last forever.

Magid's awakening gave the concubines and eunuchs in the harem a backbone. Finally, they no longer had to worry about being liquidated by the new sultan. They all thanked Allah for blessing them.

Reshid Pasha and other high officials also waited outside the palace gate to congratulate Majid. After all, escaping danger and turning danger into safety have been regarded as auspicious signs since ancient times.

Majid also knew what he should do. He immediately ordered the eunuchs and concubines to bathe and change clothes for him.

Majid's wife and the eunuch leader found that his face was ruddy and the previous illness was swept away. They only sighed that it was God's manifestation and the blessing of heaven.

After bathing and changing clothes, Majid felt refreshed. Even his body, which was hollowed out by alcohol, sex and opium, regained vitality. He did not feel tired at all after lying in bed for many days.

When the Ottoman civil and military officials saw Mejid, they all felt that the energetic and hardworking Sultan had returned. Mejid did not sit down but stood up and said to his ministers.

"I, Abdul-Mejid, the son of Mahmud II, the greatest caliph in the world, am back again with the blessing of Allah!

During the days when I was unconscious, some people plotted rebellion, but I am still fortunate that there are still so many loyal ministers in my Ottoman Empire. It is you who have fulfilled your duties and stabilized the government.

Thank you for your loyalty!

Now that I have been blessed by Allah, the Ottoman Empire will surely restore its former glory, and Europe and even the world will tremble under our iron hoofs!

I hope you can continue to assist me, and I will practice Allah's will to repay God's gift and your loyalty!"

"Long live the Sultan!"

"God bless you!"

"The Ottoman Empire will rise!"

The voices of praise are endless, and there are many people who respond sincerely. After all, this country has been suppressed for too long.

Magid was also very excited when he saw this scene, and even wanted to drink two cups, but he had to give up because the doctrine did not allow drinking.

Suddenly he felt dizzy and staggered twice. Fortunately, the throne was next to him, and the others did not see any clues. They just thought he was sitting down and watching the changes with confidence. The others could not help but perform more vigorously.

Although Magid said it very well, who knows whether they will continue to track and settle accounts in the future?

In the final analysis, the situation was unclear before, so there were many people betting on both sides, and no one's ass was clean.

When the king and his ministers were having fun and performing the most vigorously, an official rushed in.

"Great Sultan, the French have declared war on us!"

"What did you say?!"

The king and his ministers shouted almost at the same time, and Magid's face was also changing visibly, first pale, and then turned into a piece of gold paper.

Suddenly blood flowed from the corner of his mouth. Majid subconsciously wanted to cover it with his hand, but soon his nose also began to bleed. The blood flowed more and more, and he finally fell to the ground, his face turned a terrible blue-black color.
