A cold light flashed in Brother Isha's eyes when he heard this, and he said coldly: "Then find a way to let him go to see Allah first.
Without a commander, the Guards will fall into a leaderless situation.
Then the second prince can lead an army."
The elite suddenly appeared in Kahale and controlled all the ministers, forcing them to Force them to be loyal to you.
Now the powerful enemy is outside.
If the second prince ascends the throne of Caliph as he wishes, it is best not to go on a killing spree, but to concentrate all his strength to resist the attack of the Western Qin people.
Once the Western Qin people are defeated, Your Highness It’s not too late to settle accounts with those people again.”
Although Harun Rashid thought Ishaq's words were a bit cruel, he also knew that in this situation, it was not that he did not want to compete for the position of caliph, his brother, who was already the crown prince, would let him go.
When it comes to the fight for the highest throne, not to mention brothers, even father and son will kill each other.
However, Harun Rashid still believed that Thomas, the commander of the Guards, could not be killed.
He raised his head and said to Ishaq: "I know Thomas, the commander of the Guards.
He is a close associate of the Caliph.
I have always remained neutral in my fight with Hardy, not helping anyone.
He is a big obstacle in my fight for the position of Caliph, but I can't let him die.
This man is very talented in the military.
I have learned a lot from him.
Now we are surrounded by powerful enemies and need talents, especially talents.
With military talents, I alone cannot stop the attack of hundreds of thousands of people from the Western Qin Dynasty."
Ishaq hesitated and asked, "What does the second prince plan to do?"
Harun Rashid thought for a moment and then told the man next to him who was wrapped in a black robe: "Go to Kahale.
I want Thomas, the commander of the Guards, to be seriously ill and bedridden.
He cannot handle the military affairs of the Guards."
This man in black robe was tall and thin, his head was wrapped in a hood, and the black mist on his face made it difficult to see his face.
After hearing Harun Rashid's instructions, he bowed and said: "As you wish."
"Wait a minute."
Harun Rashid stopped the black-robed man who was about to leave again and said, "After you deal with Thomas's affairs, you can go to the palace by the way.
I want to know whether the Caliph is dead or alive."
The man in black robe said: "Your Highness thinks too highly of me.
There are countless talented people under the Caliphate.
I am afraid that I will be caught doing something as soon as I enter the palace."
"You" Harun Rashid was about to get angry when he immediately thought of something, "You mean the Caliphate also has people like you" The man in black robe said: "How can the most powerful king in the world of Allah not be protected by capable people and strangers?
They generally will not deal with ordinary people.
Even if ordinary people assassinate the caliph, they will not take action.
But if someone like me People who want to do harm to the Caliph are not just decorations.
But it is not easy for ordinary people to do harm to the Caliph."
Harun Rashid looked a little dazed.
After a while, he came back to his senses and said to the man in black robe: "Okay, I will send someone else to deal with the Caliphate's situation.
You just need to let Thomas be seriously ill and bedridden."
The man in black robe bowed to Harun Rashid, turned around and walked out.
Seeing the man in black robe leaving, Harun Rashid turned to face Ishad and said: "Master Ishad, please write a letter to the Holy King of Western Qin for me and say that I have received his letter.
I will carefully consider the proposal he made in the letter and ask him to wait for the news."
Ishaq bowed to Harun and agreed: "Yes, Your Highness."
"How long do you think this letter can delay?"
Ishaq said: "We can't be sure about this villain, but we can send people to secretly negotiate terms with him when he gets impatient, and use negotiations to delay our occupation of North Africa.
We still have fifteen or sixty troops in total.

Thousands of people, if the Western Qin Army wants to destroy us and capture North Africa, the casualties will definitely be huge. , if North Africa can be solved through negotiation and included in the territory of Western Qin, I believe that the Holy King of Western Qin will definitely have the patience.
As long as it can delay His Highness to ascend the throne of the caliphate, even if the Holy King of Western Qin knows that we are using negotiations to delay time, what can he do?
No matter what, there will always be a fight, and if you are angry, you will be angry."
Harun Rashid nodded after listening to Ishaq's words and said: "Okay, let's do this.
You, Mashan, send people to Kahail, and you must do everything you can to find out the situation of the Caliph as soon as possible.
Who is he?"
Dead or alive" "clear" The reply to Zhao Ziliang had been written long ago, but Harun Rashid deliberately delayed for three days before handing the letter to the Western Qin soldiers who came to deliver the letter and asked him to take it back to Zhao Ziliang.
However, the entire process of the communication between Harun Rashid and Zhao Ziliang was still clearly seen by people hiding in the dark, and the news spread to Kahaler's palace as quickly as possible.
After hearing the report, Crown Prince Hadi's face was so gloomy that he almost shed water.
He turned to look at Prime Minister Yahya and asked: "I have always admired that brother and think he is a broad-minded person.
When you I was very opposed to the suggestion that someone should be placed around him to monitor his every move.
Yes, I felt very uncomfortable.
The reason why I agreed was because you are my father-in-law and a Vizier.
I thought you must have a reason for doing this, so I agreed.
Unexpectedly, my younger brother was really uncomfortable.
Simple, he hid it too deeply.
Now, what do you think we should do?”
Yahya said: "Your Highness, Harun is unruly and rebellious.
He is not a person who is willing to submit to others.
I have seen this very early.
It is not surprising that he made such a move first.
What I am worried about is He really made peace with the Western Qin people and had secret peace talks.
You must know that he has 80,000 troops in his hands, and they are all elite forces.
Once he betrays the entire Abbasid dynasty and Allah for the throne, then we can It’s all over” Hadi frowned and said: "Sir, don't worry, he is just communicating with the people of Western Qin.
We don't know the content of the letter yet.
We can't be sure that he really communicates secretly with the people of Western Qin.
If we don't see it with our own eyes, After seeing the letter and its content, we cannot easily doubt that he is facing a formidable enemy, and we cannot start fighting first."
Yahya nodded and said nothing.
Hardy ordered a middle-aged man standing next to him: "Continue to watch Harun's every move and don't let him notice anything.
If possible, I hope to get the letter written by the people of Xiqin to Harun."
"Yes, Your Highness" Viktor Yahya hesitated and said to Hadi: "Your Highness, I always feel that it is inappropriate to conceal the news that the Caliph has been recalled to heaven by Allah.
In fact, it is better to announce the news immediately, and then you can complete the enthronement as quickly as possible.
Ceremony, you will become the new caliph.
I think your subjects will support you.
It’s not a good idea for us to hide this news all the time.
Sooner or later, it will be exposed, and then it will be even more difficult to end it.”
After hearing this, Hadi shook his head and said: "Father-in-law, I have thought about this issue carefully for a long time, and decided to hide the news for the time being and not announce the funeral secretly.
You should know very well that my father is the most prestigious person in this country.
At that time, the Western Qin soldiers were at the forefront.
Sharp and powerful, our army was defeated.
My grandfather, the last caliph, was captured in that battle.
My father supported the entire country at the most critical moment and led his subjects to gradually resist the Western Qin Dynasty. of the army We attacked, and it was not until we retreated to North Africa that we stabilized our position, saving the world under the glory of Allah from being destroyed.
My father's prestige in the hearts of his subjects is irreplaceable.
Now the Western Qin army is staring at us in the Sinai Peninsula.
He may come over at any time.

If it is announced to the subjects at this time that my father has been recalled to heaven by Allah, do you know what a big blow it will have to the subjects' confidence in resisting the invasion of the Western Qin Dynasty?
It will also have a big blow to the morale of hundreds of thousands of troops. "?"
"The Western Qin army has more than 100,000 people.
They are on an expedition, and their logistics are very troublesome.
If the war is stalemate and delayed, they will not be able to last long.
Judging from past experience, they can only last for half a year at most.
Once In more than half a year, the long logistics supply line has It is enough to bring them down.
As long as we support them until they retreat, we can announce the news of father's death to the subjects.
Then there will be the joy of victory.
Even if the subjects hear the news of father's death, their morale will not drop too much, and I can also secure the throne of Caliph with the power of victory."
Even Yahya had to admit that what Hadi said made sense.
It was foreseeable that as long as the news of Mahdi's death spread at this time, the morale of the army and subjects would definitely fall to the bottom, and everyone would have no hope of resisting the Western Qin Dynasty.
The confidence of the army in attacking will also be severely affected.
At that time, the Western Qin army can easily break through the Dashi army's defense line as long as it attacks casually.
Yahya nodded and said: "Okay, leave it to me to deal with the ministers of Kahale and the city lords and tribal chiefs in various places.
However, keeping it secret like this is not an option.
Over time, it will definitely arouse suspicion.
I have a slave who looks like He is very similar to the caliph.
I think he can be allowed to pretend to be the caliph at the appropriate time to deal with the ministers, city lords, chiefs and citizens in various places.
What do you think, Your Highness?"
Hardy's eyes lit up and he immediately said: "Is that right?
I want to see this person in person."
Yahya said: "He is in my home.
If Your Highness allows it, I will bring him into the palace tonight for Your Highness to have a look.
If Your Highness is satisfied and thinks he can fake the real thing, then let him stay in the palace."
"The key is to have him come forward to deal with those who are suspicious."
Hadi thought about it and agreed: "I can send someone to pick you up outside the palace tonight."
That night, Yahya indeed brought someone into the palace.
Hadi looked at the person he brought and was stunned for a moment.
The old man looked so much like his father Mahdi, so similar.
Even his son can't tell the difference.
After a long time, Hadi came back to his senses from the shock and said to Yahya: "Okay, he is here.
Take him down to rest and put him into clean clothes.
Without my order, we are not allowed to do it for the time being."
Anyone who sees him" "Yes, Your Highness":
