On April 21, Harun and his personal guards arrived in Cairo without concealing their whereabouts.
Just in case, a force of 3,000 light cavalry under him secretly moved into the desert east of Cairo, ready to attack at any time.
You can rush to Cairo City to meet you.
After returning to his residence in Cairo, Harun immediately sent someone to find Ishaq and invited him over, "Teacher, how is the situation?"
After saluting, Ishaq said: "Don't worry, Your Highness, I have arranged everything.
There are three thousand guards guarding the palace, and there are two hundred on duty near the meeting hall.
Half of them are ours."
The generals and military officers have made it clear that they support His Highness.
Once Hadi uses coercion to intimidate the ministers and us into surrendering to him, these people will obey His Highness's orders to bring order to the chaos."
Harlan breathed a sigh of relief and relaxed a little, but he immediately thought of another possibility and said with some worry: "Teacher, Hardy is not a reckless and brainless person, and besides, there are Vizier Yahya helped him, so I was worried that he might have some back-ups, and we had to guard against them."
After thinking about it for a while, Ishaq thought it was possible.
He asked, "What does His Highness mean?"
Harlan said: "Since at least half of the guards in the palace are ours, I don't have to worry about safety issues.
If Hadi really has some back-up, if things change and we lose, we can take it easy."
Withdraw from the palace, but after all Cairo has been run by Hadi for so long, I am worried that we can get out of the palace but not Cairo."
After hearing this, Ishaq was also a little worried.
He had never thought of this level.
Fortunately, Harun thought of it and asked: "Then what does His Highness think we should do?"
After thinking for a moment, Harun said: "We must find a way to control one of the city gates.
Only in this way can we calmly withdraw from Cairo and return to Timsah Town when things change unpredictably."
Ishaq said: "Yes, your highness, don't worry, I will find a way to solve this matter."
Until the next morning, when he was about to go to the palace to attend the military and political meeting, Harun waited and waited but did not see Ishaq coming back, and he felt quite worried.
Just when all the guards were ready to leave for the palace, Ishaq finally came back.
With a tired look on his face, he saluted Harun and said, "Your Highness, I have kept you waiting for a long time."
Harlan asked eagerly: "Teacher, how are you doing?"
Ishaq gave a reassuring look, "Don't worry, Your Highness, everything has been arranged and there will be no problem."
"That's good."
Harlan nodded and waved his hand forward: "Let's go" Under the protection of the personal guards, the carriage moved slowly towards the palace.
There seemed to be fewer pedestrians on the streets along the way.
People seemed to have a premonition of what was going to happen, and the prosperity of the past was much reduced.
When they arrived at the entrance of the palace, many ministers, officials and generals had gathered at the entrance.
When these people saw Harun, they all came over to salute.
After all, Harun was the second prince and the commander-in-chief of the front line responsible for resisting the Western Qin Dynasty.
He held eight Wan Dajun is a powerful figure, and no one dares to offend him easily.
Harlan exchanged greetings with many ministers and officials.
Not long after, the gate of the palace was opened.
Two rows of Guards soldiers stood behind the door.
There was a passage in the middle leading to the meeting hall deep in the palace.
The chilling atmosphere in the air was particularly strong.
A group of black and white eunuchs came out, and one of them shouted loudly: "The Caliph invites the ministers, officials and generals to go to the meeting hall."
Among all the ministers, officials and generals here, Harun has the most distinguished status.
Although there are other members of the royal family, their status is not as good as him.
He naturally walks in the front, and everyone else follows him into the palace.
When everyone entered the palace, the door behind them creaked shut.
Harlan couldn't help but look back, with a trace of worry in his eyes.

Ishaq, who was following him, saw that he was worried, so he came closer and whispered: "Don't worry, Your Highness, there are our people everywhere."
Harlan breathed a sigh of relief.
If all the gates in the palace were controlled by Hadi, it would be difficult to evacuate safely.
As long as there are people everywhere, even if something goes wrong, there is still a great chance of killing him.
Leaving the palace.
It didn't take long for the ministers to be led by the black and white eunuchs to the meeting hall.
This is a domed palace, which is somewhat similar to the appearance of mosques in various places.
The interior space is very large and spacious.
Although it is not magnificent, it is everywhere.
They all looked solemn and solemn.
All the ministers, officials and generals who came came approached the meeting hall.
There was still a lot of free space in the hall, and there were black and white eunuchs standing everywhere.
Harun, like Ishaq, looked around the surroundings after entering the meeting hall.
On the surface, they could not see any difference.
They had been to this hall many times and were familiar with it.
If they wanted to ambush here, there was no other option except upstairs.
Except for the invisible corridors and some rooms, other places can be clearly seen.
From the current situation, there seems to be no ambush upstairs except for a few eunuchs standing motionless in fixed positions. sign.
While others were discussing the recent situation, Harun whispered to Ishaq: "Teacher, I really can't think of what backhand Hadi will use to deal with us, what method he will use to get rid of concealing the death of the Caliph." crime".
Ishaq said: "Your Highness, don't worry, he can never make the dead come back to life."
At this time, a eunuch came out from the side and shouted: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has arrived!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Hadi and Prime Minister Yahya were seen striding in from the side door, followed by many black eunuchs and white eunuchs.
The civil and military ministers who had been waiting in the hall saluted Hadi one after another, "I have seen the crown prince."
Your Highness" Even though many people doubted Hardy, they still had to do some superficial work.
After some greetings, Harun also stepped forward and saluted: "Harun has met my brother."
Hardy looked at Harlan and nodded, his expression not very good.
"I wonder when father will come over?"
Harlan asked.
Hardy's face immediately darkened, "Father is washing up and will be here soon."
When the civil and military ministers saw the two brothers talking, they all looked towards them.
"Huh, you still want to hide it.
Even now, you want to hide the news that your father is dead.
I'll see how you end it later."
Harlan sneered in his heart and said, "That's good.
I heard that my brother recently put the Dynasty under control."
Many of the officials have been replaced.
My brother has just replaced ministers and officials when he took over government affairs.
It is too inappropriate at this time."
Hadi looked a little ugly, "Those ministers who were replaced are all people who are just waiting to die.
Now the country is in a difficult situation.
Not only are they unable to help, they are also holding them back.
If they are allowed to continue to serve as officials, the situation of the dynasty will only get worse."
The worse it is, you are a frontline general, these things are beyond your control, you should worry about yourself first, huh."
At this time, another eunuch shouted loudly near the side door: "The Caliph has arrived!"
Everyone looked towards the side door of the hall, and saw a familiar figure and face walking in from the side door.

Seeing this person, Harun's mind suddenly went blank.
It was as if something exploded in his mind, and his whole mind went blank. , his face turned pale.
"Why is it so impossible?
Why is it impossible that my father is not dead?
There cannot be errors in the intelligence.
What is going on?
Could it be that my father has long since discovered that I have evil intentions and deliberately pretends to be sick to force me to show up and do something extraordinary?
" There was a huge wave in Harlan's heart.
He was stunned and his body was shaking constantly.
He seemed not to feel it at all when everyone else was saluting.
Ishaq, who was standing next to him, was also shocked at this time.
He had calculated everything, but he never expected that the Caliph was not dead, and he seemed to be in great spirits, with no physical problems at all, and walking very briskly.
Does this look like someone who is seriously ill and about to die?
Soon, his thoughts were consistent with Harun's, thinking that Mahdi deliberately pretended to be ill to lure out people with evil intentions.
After finally coming back to his senses, Ishaq noticed something strange about Harun.
He immediately reached out and pulled Harun's sleeve and whispered: "Your Highness, calm down, calm down.
We haven't done anything extraordinary."
Harlan was immediately startled.
Yes, even the caliph could not deal with his son casually.
There must be a sufficient reason to deal with his son.
He immediately saluted Mahdi.
"Are you all here?"
Mahdi's voice came from the throne.
Harlan's ears were particularly sensitive, and he felt a little weird after hearing this voice.
Why was his father's voice different?
He couldn't help but look up at the Mahdi sitting on the throne.
He still had the same familiar face, but he always felt that There are some differences, but there is no difference.
Hardy stood up and said: "Yes, father, everything that has to come has come."
Mahdi nodded, looked at Harun, and said with a stern expression: "Harun, do you know your guilt?"
Harlan's expression changed and he immediately calmed down, "Father, what mistake did your son make that makes you so angry?"
"Humph, you are still unrepentant and look at what this is."
The Mahdi said angrily and took out a letter and said to the ministers and generals: "This is the letter written by Zhao Ziliang, the Holy King of Western Qin, to Harun.
All adults should take a look.”
Not only Harun's face changed drastically, but even Ishaq's face turned pale.
This thing is solid evidence.
If this letter is true, it will be fatal if it falls into the hands of the Mahdi. knife While the ministers and officials were looking at each other, cold sweat broke out on Harun's forehead.
He suddenly noticed something different on the back of the Mahdi's hand on the throne.
Harun looked carefully and saw that the scar on the back of his father's right hand was missing.
The scar was left when the Western Qin Army fought in the past.
He remembered it clearly.
How could it be missing?
A terrible possibility appeared in Harun's mind.
This caliphate was fake.
Yes, it must be fake.
Only this possibility could explain why Hardy was so calm.

Harun immediately pointed at Mahdi and said: "You are not the father, you are not the caliph, you are fake."
"Boom!"
The ministers exploded on the spot after hearing Harun's words, and they all looked at the Mahdi on the throne with strange expressions.
At this time, there was a trace of panic on Mahdi's face.
Yahya saw that it was not good and immediately stood up and pointed at Harun and yelled: "Harun, how can you, as a son, suspect that your father is fake?
This is what a son should do."
Do you have an attitude?
Why don’t you kneel down to the Caliph?"
Harun sneered and said: "It is precisely because I am my father's son that I know that this man is a fake.
My father should have died long ago.
It was my brother Hadi who concealed the news, kept the funeral secret, and brought all the subjects and The believers are all in the dark, Hadi, you evil beast, you killed my father and you still want to deceive us with lies.
You should be dragged out and burned alive."
"Bastard!"
The Mahdi on the throne was furious.
He patted the armrest of the throne and stood up and pointed at Harun: "You traitor, I have the evidence of your collusion with the Western Qin people.
You want to use this method to...
Counterattack and fool your subjects and believers?
Come on, arrest this traitor, remove him from his post as frontline commander, and put him in jail to await trial."
At this time, Ishaq felt that the situation was out of control.
He was frightened.
If he failed this time, he was afraid that he would die without a burial place.
He immediately reached out and made a secret gesture behind him.
Of course, Harun would not be caught so easily.
He immediately pointed at the fake Mahdi and shouted: "You fake caliph dare to show up openly to deceive the ministers and officials.
Look carefully, there is a scar on my father's right arm.
It is from the same knife as the one from the West."
It was left when the Qin people fought, but there is no trace on the back of his hand.
These are traces that cannot be erased, and his temperament is not the temperament that a caliph should have at all, so he is fake."
As soon as Harun finished speaking, there was a sudden "whoosh" sound, and a short arrow shot from nowhere, hitting the fake Mahdi's chest.
The fake Mahdi rolled his eyes, fell down on his back and died.
"Ah" no one expected that such a thing would happen, and they were all terrified.
Some people screamed in fear on the spot, and others ran away with their heads in their hands.
Hadi pointed at Harun and was furious: "You bastards actually murdered my father, come here, kill him."
"Hardy, you are the murderer of my father.
This is false."
Ishaq immediately shouted: "Hadi, it's not that easy for you to kill us.
Warriors who are loyal and His Highness the Second Prince, use your swords, guns, bows and arrows to kill this person who murders the Caliph."
A strange situation occurred.
Two Guards troops with completely different attitudes suddenly appeared in the stands on the second floor.
They pointed their bows and arrows at each other.
At this time, a Guards army rushed in from the side and the front.
When they met, they Fight each other.
Only then did the ministers hiding aside realize that the Guards had already been secretly divided and bribed by the two brothers Hadi and Harun.
At this time, even Hadi and Harun drew their weapons and joined the battle.
The entire hall A large number of corpses soon fell inside, and blood flowed all over the ground.

While resisting, Ishaq shouted to Harun: "Your Highness, their troops are obviously larger than ours, and we can't hold on any longer."
Harlan didn't hesitate.
He hacked to death a Guards soldier on the opposite side and shouted: "Fight and retreat at the same time.
Let's go."
At this time, fighting broke out outside, and the guards controlled by both sides fought each other.
The entire palace was in bloody killings, and many eunuchs and maids running around in the chaos were killed.
After a large number of people were killed and injured, Harun and Ishaq fought all the way to the entrance of the palace under the protection of some Guards soldiers and finally escaped.
They immediately jumped on the carriage and ran towards the east gate, finally catching up with Harun.
Before Di's men caught up with them, they escaped from Cairo and ran directly towards the location of the three thousand cavalry who came to meet them
