		Suleyman fell increasingly under the spell of two slaves he raised to power: Ibrahim, whom he promoted swiftly to grand vizier; and Hurrem, "laughing one"—a captive Russian known to the West as Roxelana, who became his wife.
		To gain uncontested power over him, Roxelana had to get rid of Ibrahim, who alone shared the privacy of his meals, who was given a palace by the Hippodrome and Suleyman's sister in marriage, and who served brilliantly as grand vizier for 13 years.
		Her insinuations finally bore fruit when Suleyman bestowed on Ibrahim the title serasker sultan, commander in chief, hitherto the sultan's alone.

	Bacque-Grammont, Eastern Policy of Suleyman
		In order to apprehend the totally different stand taken by Suleyman the moment he acceded to the throne, it would be fitting to outline briefly the main points of this confrontation and the issues it entailed.
		Suleyman, probably upon the advice of the Grand Vezir Prii Mehmed Pasa, whom he had wisely kept in office, took measures which many of his subjects awaited and welcomed.
		Suleyman's response at first glance attracts scarcely more attention except that beneath the rhetorical flourishes, no less accomplished than those of his correspondent, one can easily sense condescension and a carefully contrived lack of concern.
