The two men started shouting and killing each other as soon as they had a disagreement. When the civil and military officials around them saw this, no one tried to persuade them, and no one scolded them either. They just watched coldly.

Moreover, Zhending Prefecture was the actual headquarters of the Jin Dynasty's front line. Because of the war, many important people of the Jin Dynasty gathered here, not only princes, Wanhu, Meng'an, and Mouke, but also many other types of people... For example, Hong Ya was the envoy from Yanjing; and Liu E was the previous defense envoy of Enzhou. Because Enzhou was conquered by Tian Shizhong early on, he retreated all the way to Zhending; and Cheng Cai was a dignified Hanlin scholar of the Great Jin Dynasty. He was the envoy sent by Yanjing to comfort the troops when the loss of Taiyuan was not yet known half a month ago. He was Hong Ya's predecessor.

But these are not the point.

The key point is that Liu E's identity is somewhat special. He is the youngest of the three direct brothers who are currently in charge of the Liu family, a prominent clan in Yanyun.

The so-called Liu family is the descendant of Liu Peng, the former governor of Lulong in the late Tang Dynasty. His family served as prime ministers in Liao for generations. Liu E's father, Liu Yanzong, was favored after surrendering to Jin and was even appointed to Yanyun government affairs. However, this family had a strong presence in Yanyun, so they were always feared by the Jin high-ranking officials. In addition, Liu Yanzong attached himself to Nianhan after Aguda's death, which was suspected of changing his family background, which led to the high-ranking officials' unanimous rejection. Therefore, he was lifted up early and died in depression. The Liu family's position in the Jin high-ranking officials and their leadership position in the Yanyun clan were also replaced by the Han family, who were deliberately supported by the Jin high-ranking officials.

But no matter what, the family's family background and foundation are there, so among the previous kings, Liu E's father Liu Yanzong still became the only Han Chinese who was posthumously conferred the title of king in the Great Jin Kingdom. The power of the Liu family and Liu E himself cannot be ignored under the current situation.

But this is where the interesting thing happens - Cheng Cai is also a representative figure of the Yanyun Han ethnic group.

Cheng Cai's grandfather, like the father of Lin Jingmo, a famous official of the Song Dynasty, both had domineering nicknames. Lin Jingmo's father was nicknamed Lin Jiumu, and Cheng Cai's grandfather was nicknamed Cheng Yiju. Lin Jingmo had nine brothers, and Cheng Cai's father had six brothers, plus their two fathers. All of them were Jinshi, but one side was from the Song Dynasty and the other side was from the Liao Dynasty.

In addition, there are two particularly outstanding ones among the Lin Jingmo brothers, called Da Lin Bachelor and Xiao Lin Bachelor... When Cheng Cai's father Cheng Mu surrendered to the Jin Dynasty, he was a governor, and then he has been serving as a governor. He is still in charge of the defense of Jingzhou. When Cheng Cai rose to power, the father and son served in the same court. They have always been called Old Cheng Jiedu and Little Cheng Bachelor.

Who dares to ignore such a family?

The only difference is that the Jin army defeated almost all the military forces south of Yanshan Mountain in one battle. The Jurchens themselves had not yet started a riot, but two children of the Yanyun clans broke out into such an almost irreconcilable dispute, which was particularly interesting.

Let's cut to the chase. The argument had reached this point and it was doomed to be impossible to reach a conclusion through discussion. So everyone's attention gradually focused on one person in the hall - the Sixth Prince E'luguan.

Wanyan Eluguan was the sixth son of Taizu Aguda, and had an already noble status. He had previously served as the governor of Datong and was in charge of a region. The Wanhu in the city this time was the one brought back by Eluguan from Datong. In addition, the third prince died of an acute illness, the fourth prince was defeated and his life or death was unknown, and the second prince and the fifth prince (the father of the current king) died early. Not to mention in Zhending City, he was probably one of the most famous people in the entire Jin Dynasty.

Therefore, as long as the Sixth Prince speaks, no one in Zhending City can resist.

However, under the watchful eyes of everyone, Eluguan was in a daze, at a loss, unable to make any conclusion, as if he was affected by the tragic scene outside the city... It's no wonder, the Fourth Prince Wuzhu was the youngest royal family member who participated in the entire founding war of the Jin Dynasty. For the young Eluguan, it was just a dividing line. After Eluguan participated in military activities, the Great Jin Dynasty had already taken shape, and basically all the battles were smooth sailing. He lacked much military experience and combat experience.

In desperation, everyone went to see Hong Ya again. This was the new angel sent from Yanjing, and he was entrusted with military affairs by the Fourth Prince Wuzhu. Even the Fourth Prince's own gold medal was in this man's hands. If they made a decision at this time, maybe everyone below would support it, and the Sixth Prince Eluguan would also go along with it.

However, Hong Ya, the Minister of the Court, who was known for his shrewdness and ability, looked around the hall. Although he was relieved, he looked embarrassed. He then spread his hands and said, "Everyone, although I am an angel and the Fourth Prince has entrusted me with military affairs, how can I make decisions easily in this situation?"

This was said quite sincerely, and everyone was helpless, so after arguing for a while, they finally dispersed.

However, many capable people among them, knowing that they were already at the point of being cut by swords and burned by fire, with life and death uncertain, were unwilling to delay at all... On that night, there was an endless stream of people who went to look for the Sixth Prince E'luguan and the Privy Councilor Hong Ya in private, so much so that Tai Shi Nu had to wait until the second watch before he was able to see Minister Hong.

"This is the situation with the Fourth Prince..."

Under the lights, accompanied by the faint sound of crying, Hong Ya explained the situation with a bit of helplessness. "In short, the Song army only sent the left army of the imperial camp and two central troops of the imperial camp to the north of Hutuo River. I'm afraid the Henan side will pursue us closely. We can only leave it to fate."

"If that's the case, I will set out tomorrow and risk my life to cross the river to find the Fourth Prince..." The master's slave was solemn for a moment.

"No." Hong Ya also said solemnly. "In the current situation in Zhending City, no one can easily leave alone, otherwise everyone will scatter... Everyone has a reason to leave!"

The Grand Master's slave was slightly stunned, and was unable to refute it, so he turned around and asked seriously: "Then what should we do in Zhending?"
