Hadi's face was extremely ugly, "Harun is very talented.
If he can help me wholeheartedly, I believe that our brothers can defeat the Western Qin people and regain the lost territory.
I didn't expect that Harun would collude with the Western Qin people and want to betray them."
Abbasid Dynasty, is the throne really so important to him?"
Yahya advised earnestly: "Your Highness, you are the only one who is honest and honest, and cares about brotherhood.
Harun has long regarded you as a thorn in his side and a thorn in his flesh.
Now that he has colluded with the Western Qin people to betray the Abbasid Dynasty, he has He is not your brother, not your father's son, how can you still be merciful to such a person and watch him plunge the Abbasid Dynasty into a situation that is beyond redemption?"
Hardy's eyes gradually became firm and said: "Father-in-law, it seems that we have to change our plan.
He can no longer be the frontline commander.
We must find a suitable person to replace him and relieve him of his military power."
Yahya saluted and said: "Your Highness, this is what you should do.
Removing his military power is the first step, then recruit him to Cairo, find an excuse to arrest him and imprison him, and then slowly build up the charges, okay."
After that He also made a beheading gesture.
Hardy was startled and said with some hesitation: "It is enough to remove him from military power.
There is no need to kill him.
No matter how wrong he is, he is still my brother after all."
Yahya advised with a look of hatred for steel: "Your Highness, think about it from a different perspective.
If you change places with him, do you think he will let you go?
He will definitely kill you quickly.
You Be kind to him, but he will not be kind to you.
When it comes to the battle for the throne, you must not be merciful, and you must not leave any consequences."
Hadi hesitated for a moment and asked: "Father-in-law, what if he refuses to hand over military power or refuses to return to Cairo?"
Yahya's expression suddenly changed, "If he has the guts to refuse to hand over military power and refuse to accept the order and return to Cairo, things will be in trouble, and it will be a big trouble.
Now the Western Qin army of hundreds of thousands is staring at us in the Sinai Peninsula.
They may call at any time.
If Harun is no longer under control, it means that he has already communicated with Xi Qin.
He has made a secret agreement to betray the Abbasid Dynasty.
With the support of the Western Qin people, his strength will be greatly increased.
Moreover, he already has 80,000 people in his hands.
Our total remaining strength is only 7 Wan himself is less than him, and with the support of the Western Qin people, our hope of winning will be very slim."
Hadi looked solemn and said: "Father-in-law, the outside world still doesn't know that my father has died of illness.
I think Harun doesn't know either.
If he knew, he would definitely not be so calm.
In this case, we will lift his sentence in the name of his father.
Military power ordered him to return to Cairo.
Could it be that he still disobeyed his father's order?"
Yahya asked back: "Since he dares to contact the people of Western Qin behind your father's back, do you think he will still care about your father?
Now we are not sure whether he knows that your father has died of illness, but he must be knowing about you."
My father only came into contact with the Western Qin people after he became seriously ill.
We still don’t know the extent of their contact, but we must not let him continue to have contact with the Western Qin people.
Once they reach an agreement, the consequences will be disastrous. " Hardy said: "So" Before the words were spoken, a close aide hurriedly walked in and reported to Hadi: "Your Highness, good news is that the Eastern Roman Empire sent troops to Armenia, causing tension in some areas.
The Western Qin army opposite us withdrew its troops a few days ago."
"What?"
Hardy was stunned and immediately asked: "What you said is true?"
"Your Highness, how dare this villain deceive Your Highness?"

Hadi looked at Yahya, and Yahya said with a smile: "The opportunity has come.
No matter how far Harlan talked with the people of Xiqin, now he has lost the support of the people of Xiqin.
You are the crown prince, and you have great righteousness."
We must act as soon as possible to order the return of Harun in the name of the Caliph.
Return to Cairo to report the situation on the front line.
Now that the Western Qin people have withdrawn, he has no reason not to come back after receiving the order.
As long as he returns to Cairo, His Highness will find another excuse to remove him from military power and throw him into prison.
As long as he does not After gaining military power, His Highness can deal with him however he wants."
Hardy nodded and was about to issue an order when the confidant who just reported the message said again: "Your Highness, there is one more thing.
General Thomas, the commander of the Guards, has not been on duty these days.
I sent someone to inquire about it.
It turns out that it is General Thomas is ill and in a coma, unable to take charge of the affairs of the Guards."
Hardy frowned when he heard this and said: "How come Thomas fell ill at this time and is still unconscious?
The Guards are not only responsible for the security of the Cairo area, but also responsible for the protection of the palace and the Caliphate.
If Thomas continues to be sick like this, what will happen to the affairs of the Guards?"
It’s not about causing chaos.”
Yahya is an old fox.
He immediately thought of the benefits to Hadi of Thomas being seriously ill and unconscious.
He immediately said to Hadi: "Your Highness, Thomas being ill and unconscious has great influence on Your Highness taking over the military power of the Guards."
The biggest advantage, Your Highness, think about it, General Thomas and the Guards have always been neutral between you and Harun, and were only loyal to the Caliph.
Now he is ill and unable to govern.
Your Highness is just right.
You can secretly send people to contact his generals.
Now it is a key matter for His Highness and Harun to compete for the position of caliph.
The generals of the Guards are not fools.
When Thomas is unable to take charge, they will definitely fight for their own.
Looking for a backer for the future, now is the best time for His Highness to win over and bribe them.
As long as we control those generals, even if Thomas wakes up and recovers, nothing will happen to him."
Hardy's eyes lit up and he immediately said: "That's right, let's buy off the Guards generals first, and then attack Harlan after we control the Guards.
Father-in-law, make arrangements immediately.
I want to know the generals who are easiest for me to win over.
Who is it?”
"Yes, Your Highness, I will send someone to inquire about the situation of all the Guards generals."
Within two days, Yahya sent someone to find out the basic situation of all the commanders of the Guards and reported to Hadi.
Hadi immediately contacted them one by one and sent someone to invite them one by one to talk. , talk to each other, extend an olive branch, and win them over.
While Hadi was wooing the Guards generals, Harun's think tank Ishaq also secretly came to Cairo and wooed and bribed the Guards generals on Harun's behalf.
The current situation in Cairo is extremely strange.
People only know that the Caliph Mahdi is ill, and it is said that he is very ill.
Crown Prince Hadi is now in charge of the government, but when the civil and military ministers asked to visit the Mahdi in the palace, Hadi thought that the Caliph needed it.
He refused on the grounds of recuperation.
No one cared about it once or twice, but when he refused more often, the civil and military ministers began to doubt.
Some even speculated whether the Caliph was dead.
This speculation soon spread throughout the streets of Cairo. alley The generals of the Guards naturally also knew about these rumors.
These rumors were spread with noses and eyes.
No one could stay calm among these rumors.

If the rumors were true, should the civil and military ministers find new masters to join them?
There is no doubt that Crown Prince Hadi He is the best candidate to surrender, but the second prince Harun is also good.
He has the style of a caliphate, and he also has 80,000 troops.
This is a real force.
For a while, the minds of the princes, ministers, generals and officials in Cairo have changed. , many people are actively looking for a way out.
"Sir, I have received news that Crown Prince Hadi is also buying off the generals of the Guards, the ministers of Cairo, the governors of various places, and the tribal chiefs."
A small civil affairs official in Cairo who was loyal to Harun reported to Ishaq.
After hearing the report, Ishaq looked serious and asked, "Where did you get the news?"
The civil affairs official said: "It was General Diramo of the Guards who accidentally leaked it when he was drunk.
Then the villain made him tell the truth through insinuations.
In the past, Crown Prince Hadi and His Royal Highness the Second Prince did not dare to blatantly tell the truth."
To win over and bribe the ministers, generals, chiefs and governors of various places, it will definitely not go well if the Caliph finds out about it.
Now Crown Prince Hadi has openly done this, which further confirms the news that the Caliph has died of illness.
Also, as Crown Prince Hadi, he will definitely have an advantage over His Highness the Second Prince in bribing ministers and generals.
If we continue If we don't find a way, I'm afraid most of the civil and military ministers will fall into Hadi's arms."
Ishaq also knew that the current situation was critical.
The Caliphate had already burped.
Hadi had blocked the news and hid it from almost all his subjects.
If he had not placed an undercover agent next to Hadi, he would have been kept in the dark. inside.
Hadi can use his status as a supervisor and do many things in the name of the caliph.
If he and the second prince Harun do not take action, the situation will be one-sided in Hadi's favor.
After some thinking, Ishaq had an idea and immediately whispered to the civil affairs officer: "Immediately inform our officials and military generals one by one, and ask them to go to the palace together tomorrow to make a firm request to Crown Prince Hadi.
I want to enter the palace to check on the Caliph’s condition and tell them that everything will be done according to my wishes.
Do you understand?”
The minor civil affairs official agreed: "Yes, I will remember it, sir, don't worry."
The next morning, many officials and generals gathered at the entrance of the Royal Palace in Cairo.
As the time approached noon, more and more officials, generals and military officers gathered.
The guards guarding the entrance to the palace felt as if they were facing a formidable enemy.
The black eunuchs and the white eunuchs were all anxious, sweating profusely.
Report after report made Hadi finally unable to bear it any longer, so he could only come to the gate of the palace in person to meet these ministers, officials, and generals.
"My lords and generals, I don't know why you are gathering at the entrance of the palace.
Don't you have anything to do?
Now the Western Qin army has just retreated.
There are many military and political affairs that need you to deal with.
You should go back and don't delay the serious business."
These people were all instigated by Ishaq.
How could they be easily persuaded by Hadi to leave.
Under Ishaq's wink, an official stood up and said loudly: "Your Royal Highness, there are already many ministers, officials and generals."
We haven’t seen the Caliph for days, and we don’t know how the Caliph’s condition is.
We all want to go in for a visit, and we ask for Your Highness’s accommodation
