This answer did not cause the two Han officials below to react at all, but the young king was speechless immediately, because this answer obviously made him sober up a lot... This was because Puluhu was none other than the eldest son of the former king Wuqimai who abdicated due to a stroke. If this man succeeded in his rebellion, it would be hard for others to say, but he, the king, would definitely be the first to bear the brunt, and would be the most unlucky one no matter what!
Moreover, this answer also solved another mystery, that is, who had the courage to use a small-scale force to attack the king's ceremonial guard protected by two Hezhamengans in the wilderness within the country?
You must know that this is the most elite army in the world! It was carefully selected from the 200,000 or 300,000 troops during the heyday of the Jin Dynasty!
However, if it was Puluhu, it would seem natural, because when the Hezhameng'an was established, only Aguda, Wuqimai and Nianhan were qualified to establish the Hezhameng'an. Among them, Nianhan's two Hezhameng'an were given to Loushi for use before the Battle of Yaoshan, and they were kept in Hedong. However, two of the remaining four Hezhameng'an in Yanjing City were established by Wuqimai himself.
To put it bluntly, Puluhu may have an accomplice from within!
After a long silence, the young king, Wanyan Hela, could not help but ask in a low voice, "Fourth uncle...does the great uncle (Wuqimai) know about this?"
"The old king really had a stroke and can't stand up." Wushu gave a positive answer. "Now he can only lie down, otherwise why do you think we brothers dared to let him go so easily that day?"
"Who is the accomplice?" Hela asked again.
"There is no insider." Wushu answered calmly. "Puluhu found Talai and wanted him to go to the two Hezhameng'ans in the name of the old king, but Talai went straight to me. It was your other two uncles and I who hastily discussed and decided on today's plan... In other words, how dare the three of us brothers really put you in danger?"
The young king felt relieved.
At this moment, after hearing this secret, Qin Huizhi and Hong Ya could not help but look at each other in the shadow below the hill. Their eyes met hurriedly in the dark night with the help of torches, and they understood each other's meaning again - the king was too young after all. Was it Puluhu who found Talai first, or Wushu who found Talai first? I'm afraid only Wushu and Talai could tell clearly.
So, who knows what's going on?
The autumn wind was blowing gently, and on the other side of the stream, there were still flames rising into the sky and chaos. More and more people were gathering behind the small slope... Wanyan Talan, Han Fang, Wulin Da Zanmo, Wanyan Xiyin, and Wanyan Yinshuke were all here.
Although these people arrived late, they were all smart people. Looking at the scene on the other side of the river, they only felt it was pathetic - not only were the people who were making trouble on the other side pathetic, but those who were kept in the dark were also pathetic, and those of them who had slightly awakened were actually also quite pathetic.
But soon, something even more tragic happened.
"Lord! King of Wei!"
After a few people relied on their status to shout and cause trouble and were dragged away, the slope had actually been quite quiet. But this time, someone couldn't help but shout out to the two nobles who were facing the river with their backs to the pine forest.
And this time, even the soldiers next to him did not stop him.
Wanyan Wushu and his nephew Wanyan Hela finally turned around and were both stunned... but they could only be stunned... It turned out that a fire had been burning in the pine forest behind them since they didn't know when.
It goes without saying that this was definitely caused by the current chaos, and someone ran into the pine forest with fire.
Moreover, once a thousand-mile pine forest caught fire in autumn, how could human power stop it? The fire spread almost immediately with the autumn wind, and the length of the fire line doubled in a few breaths. In just half a quarter of an hour, it had a tendency to become a sea of fire and roll deeper... Compared with this movement, the chaos in the camp on the other side of the river was simply child's play.
Seeing this situation, the instigator like Wanyan Wushu, the noble like the young monarch, the shrewd like Qin Huizhi, the battlefield prodigy like Hong Ya, the veteran like Yin Shuke, and the knowledgeable like Han Fang and Xi Yin, could only stare in amazement, watching the fire rolling freely in the pine forest.
No one spoke.
Not only that, the fire waves in the big pine forest rolled up, and the momentum was overwhelming, which in turn affected the chaos on the other side of the river. The chaos that should have been resolved quickly was dragged on until dawn. Wulin Datai wanted to follow the order and lead five men to wait for a while twenty miles to the north. He should have come to support by following the firelight, but the sudden fire in the pine forest in the middle of the night made him lose his way, and he only came over at dawn.
Of course, it was just an accident after all.
Moreover, shortly after dawn, the situation was completely stabilized, and people finally felt relieved about the wildfire that was still smoking behind them, and then shifted their attention to the chaos. By this time, although the person himself was not caught due to the fire accident, many other rebels were caught. Basically, the evidence was conclusive that the rebel was Wanyan Puluhu, and this guy also colluded with some Khitans and Xi people!
The Yanjing dignitaries who survived the disaster stood in front of the small slope and looked at each other in bewilderment. They had nothing to say about this answer:
"The king just made him king! How shameless!"
"A noble Jurchen clan is actually colluding with a Khitan dog!"
"From what he said yesterday, isn't there still Han'er?"
"Maybe they are colluding with the Song people!"
"He should be executed!"
"Kill all of them brothers together!"
"Lord, please spare his life! After all, the old Lord is still here!"
