Khalid was frightened by Prince Mahdi's words.
You must know that after these years of hard work, Caliph Mansoor has established absolute authority among the government and the people of the country, and among the various tribes.
He is no longer the caliph.
He is the agent of the prophet and the representative of Allah in the world.
Therefore, his authority is even greater than that of the prophet.
Now the Mahdi actually wanted to establish a new caliph regardless of the life and death of his father Mansoor.
This idea severely impacted Khalid's heart.
Khalid looked at Mahdi with a pale face and asked with difficulty: "Your Highness, how could you have such an idea?
Do you know how serious the consequences of doing so will be?
Once we establish the new caliphate, the chief of the believers will be in the hands of the Western Qin people."
It loses its effect.
I can’t imagine how they will treat him.
As the most loyal servant and minister of the leader of believers, I can’t do it.”
Mahdi slapped the table and shouted loudly: "Master Khalid, I hope you understand your identity.
You are the vizier of the Abbasid dynasty.
You should put the future of all the subjects and believers of the entire Abbasid dynasty first.
Anyone can be confused at this time, but you can't, because you are the vizier.
When the caliph cannot exercise power normally, you A vizier must keep his head clear and lead all the subjects and believers of the Abbasid Dynasty to choose the right path to move forward.
My father is the representative of Allah in the world, but now he has become the representative of the Western Qin people.
Prisoner, his mission has been completed, the Abbasid dynasty needs a new caliph to lead all subjects and believers to resist the invasion of the infidels."
Khalid was shaking all over, and he was speechless.
Mahdi's words had such a great impact on him that his mind had not yet turned around.
Upon seeing this, Mahdi continued: "Sir, if we do not establish the new caliphate immediately, the consequences will be disastrous.
First of all, in Baghdad, several of our brothers will definitely fight for the position of caliphate.
It is very likely that the entire dynasty will be torn apart.
Even if the dynasty is not torn apart because of their fighting, your Excellency should know that each of my brothers is hostile to the Persians.
They become the core group of the dynasty and are dissatisfied with controlling the power of the high-level dynasty.
Once any of them ascends the throne as the new caliph, the high-level power levels of the dynasty will be reshuffled.
The adults and those Persian executives will first become the targets of purging; secondly, , without the new caliph, the opinions of the ministers and generals in the hall cannot be unified, because no one has the absolute authority to make decisions on anything, only Only a new caliph can use his power to unify everyone's thoughts and opinions; thirdly, for me, your lord, and those lords and generals in the lobby, the situation for us will soon become extremely dangerous, because from now on we Our enemies are not only the Western Qin people, but also my brothers in Baghdad.
Of course I will not escape death, but will you and all the other generals be spared?
Fourth , none of the above is the most terrifying thing.
The most terrifying thing is that now we have a powerful enemy, but we in the Abbasid Dynasty are killing each other and fighting among ourselves.
Once our enemies take advantage of this moment to launch a full-scale attack on us, we will absolutely not be able to Resist, when the country is destroyed, the subjects and believers are massacred and enslaved by the pagans, and the world ruled by Allah will completely collapse.
Have you ever thought about the consequences of this?"
"So, no matter what, we should immediately install a new caliph on the throne, so that everything can be solved."
Khalid's face turned pale and he asked in a trembling voice: "I understand what His Highness the Prince said, but doing so will put the Caliph in extremely dangerous situation.
If he loses his status as Caliph, the people of Western Qin will definitely not be able to do it again."
Be polite to him."
Mahdi comforted him: "Sir, you are wrong.
I think that without that identity, my father will be safer.
Think about it, if my father was still the caliph, the Western relatives would definitely try their best to force him.
Write a letter of surrender to make our Abbasid dynasty surrender, but if he is not the caliph , the people of Western Qin knew that it was useless to force him anymore.
If they dared to go against him, wouldn't they worry that our Abbasid dynasty would fight to the death with them?
Therefore, my husband and wife lost their rights and the identity of the caliph.
The people of Western Qin are even more afraid, sir, you don’t have to worry about my father’s safety at all.”

Khalid obviously hadn't fully digested Mahdi's words.
He forced himself to calm down and said to Mahdi: "Your Highness, this matter is too important.
I need to think about it carefully.
Don't worry, I will give you an answer as soon as possible." reply" Mahdi was a little disappointed, but he also knew that the establishment of a new caliphate would have a great impact on Khalid, and he must be given some time to digest and buffer, so he agreed: "Okay, sir, go back and think about it, but I hope you will make a decision as soon as possible, we can wait, the people of Western Qin will not wait for us to make a decision."
After Khalid went back, he thought about it for the whole afternoon and the first half of the night.
Everything he had and his family could become one of the top families in the Abbasid Dynasty was because of Mansur's honor and favor.
Sur's loyalty is not inferior to anyone's, but after thinking and weighing this afternoon, he has to admit that Prince Mahdi's decision to propose the establishment of a new caliphate is right.
This is currently more important than rescuing Mansur. matter.
Late at night, Khalid came to the door of the residence of Attis, the commander of the Guards.
When the soldier standing guard at the door saw Khalid, he immediately stepped forward and saluted: "Sir, why are you here so late?"
Khalid said: "I have extremely important things to discuss with General Atis.
You go and inform me."
"Yes, my lord" Khalid was quickly invited in.
After sitting down in the front hall, the waiter brought him a pot of tea.
Attis walked over sleepily in his underwear, sat down opposite him, yawned and asked, "Khalid, why are you here so late?
Is there anything urgent you have to do to come to my place so late?"
Khalid did not answer, but asked: "Attis, I am not here this afternoon.
Have the other adults and generals discussed the results?"
Artis shook his head: "Where is the result of the discussion?
Everyone thinks what they say makes sense and sticks to their own opinions.
Everyone quarrels.
In my opinion, if the argument continues like this, even if we argue for another year, there may not be any results. " Khalid immediately took a sip of tea, looked at Attis and asked seriously: "Attis, we can argue here, but do you think the princes of Xiqin and Baghdad will give us time to continue arguing?"
Sooner or later, the Western Qin people would attack Behdahir Castle.
Attis had known this for a long time, so he was not surprised.
But why did the princes of Baghdad get involved?
He wondered: "Master Khalid, this has nothing to do with Baghdad."
What does it matter to those princes?"
"It doesn't matter."
Khalid laughed out loud, "General, now that the caliph has been kidnapped by the Western Qin people, our Abbasid dynasty has lost its supreme ruler.
This news will soon be spread to Baghdad.
Once those princes When they learn this news, they will immediately compete for power, and the winner will have the opportunity to ascend the throne as the new Caliph."
Attis glared angrily, slapped the case, and shouted: "The Caliph was just kidnapped, and he was not called back to heaven by Allah.
He will come back sooner or later.
How dare they?"
Khalid shook his head: "General, you are too naive.
Let's not say whether the people of Western Qin will release the caliph easily.
Do you think that all those princes and highnesses are good boys who hold the throne of the caliph?
What kind of existence is that?
Who Sit on it and you will have all the power Next, dominate all life and death.
Faced with such temptation, as long as the qualified prince, who can remain indifferent.
If the new caliph ascends the throne in Baghdad, then what should you and I do?
You and I are both Persians.
Those princes in Baghdad have always treated us Persians.
If you and I, as well as other high-level Persian officials, are dissatisfied with occupying the high-level positions of power in the dynasty, we are afraid that they will soon be exiled or arrested and imprisoned for various reasons, and then be killed in prison.
If there is no Western Qin army to attack us outside, There is a huge threat.

We can still find ways to deal with those princes, but now the Western Qin army may come over at any time.
Not only do we have to deal with the Western Qin people, but we also have to be on guard against the secret arrow generals who may come from Baghdad.
We are now at the most critical moment.
It’s a dangerous moment” Atis's sleepiness completely disappeared in this moment.
Beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.
He asked anxiously: "Sir, what should we do?"
"We must find ways to save ourselves, not only ourselves, but also the entire Abbasid dynasty and the Caliphate."
"How to save"
Khalid looked at Attis with deep eyes and said: "General, I think we must establish a new caliph as soon as possible before the Western Qin people use the chiefs of believers to threaten us to control the inside and outside of the castle and its surroundings.
With all the power, this is the only feasible way at the moment.”
"Hiss" Attis gasped.
He was so shocked by the suggestion that he didn't say anything for a long time.
Khalid had to analyze the current situation and the reasons why he had to do this.
Asti was finally convinced, but he finally asked: "Sir, if we support a new caliph, who should we support?
Then who will be the believers?"
When the commander comes back, in what capacity will he join the Abbasid dynasty?
There cannot be two caliphs."
Khalid shook his head and said: "We only have one prince, Mahdi, and we have no other choice.
Compared with the princes in Baghdad, Prince Mahdi is relatively close to us Persians.
If he ascends the throne as the caliph, we Persians will not have the same status."
It will change.
As for the future when the leader of believers comes back.
I don’t know what identity I will use in the future.
This matter can only be left to their own decision.
We can only focus on the present.
Who can predict what will happen in the future?
Whether the leader who is a believer will come back in the end.
I'm afraid only the King of Western Qin can decide who can dominate his will."
After a long time, Attis nodded, gritted his teeth and said: "Okay, I support you sir":
