"Father!"
Digunai was furious. "Do we still need to talk about this at this time? No matter what, we must control the situation and suppress the instability first!"
"That's your uncle!" Wanyan Oben tried to look at him, but then he looked at the other person who had been in front of him. "Left Deputy Guard... I'll give you one last chance... Now follow my son to the armory to meet General Erlubu and persuade Minister Liu to surrender. If he is willing to surrender, I will not pursue the affairs of your three families! Digunai, follow the Left Deputy Guard to meet General Erlubu and tell him that if Liu Xu is willing to surrender, then surrender. If not, we must make a quick decision and withdraw immediately! Come with me to the palace."
Digunai and Zuo Yuan wanted to speak at the same time, but the eldest prince did not give them a chance to speak. He just looked at Wulinda Zanmo again and said, "Wulinda, since you said that, you should go to the palace and ask about the king's safety first, and then ask Hesheli Taiyu what he means. I will prepare the troops and go there right away... By the way, ask where Prime Minister Qin is."
Wulinda Zanmo bowed his head immediately, and Digunai also bowed his head helplessly.
Zuo Yuan, on the other hand, was furious: "Grand Prince! We only occupied the armory, and we even came to you to beg for mercy. The Hesheli tribe simply occupied the palace and kidnapped the king... As a result, you Jurchens are so generous to each other, but you want to "quickly end the war" with us... The way you behave today, even if you survived the disaster in Yanjing, you are not afraid of going out of the border. If the Bohai people and Xi people in this courtyard get angry today, will they destroy you on the road?!"
The eldest prince wanted to say that he had done his best for both sides, but when the words came to his lips, he felt meaningless, because he really put the Wanyan clan first and the Jurchens second, and did not regard the Han people in Yan as any danger.
So, he just raised his hand and urged the other person to leave.
However, Zuo Yuan stood there, crying and laughing, and was unwilling to move at all.
Seeing this, Digunai frowned and tried to pull, but after two or three times, he still couldn't do it. He was completely furious, so he suddenly drew his sword and chopped at the man's neck with all his might... However, the man was still young and lacked strength, so although it was a surprise attack, he only chopped the man from the shoulder to the side of the neck, killing him half to death, and then he rolled on the ground wailing.
In the chaos, everyone was caught off guard and looked at the eldest prince under the torch.
The eldest prince felt powerless and could only wave to Pucha Huzhan on the side.
Pucha Huzhan sighed, stepped forward and grabbed Wanyan Digunai who was about to go up and finish him off, and several of his own soldiers stepped forward, pinned Zuo Yuan down, and easily killed him with one blow.
When a person dies, he is dead.
In fact, many people guessed that tonight would not end well, and many lives might have been lost in the north and the palace. However, things developed so quickly, and a dead person appeared before their eyes so quickly, and the person was a "big shot" who could be respected everywhere in theory, which made everyone present feel uncomfortable.
Just when Zuo Yuan was easily killed because of the escalating situation, Hesheli Taiyu, Wanyan Yinshuke, Wanyan Talan, Qin Hui, Hong Ya and others also found the 18-year-old king, plus the 15-year-old Queen Pei Man... With Qin Hui's timely guidance, Wanyan Talan gathered his troops, immediately found this place, and lured Hesheli Taiyu.
"Where is Master Han?"
After almost everyone saluted together, Hela mustered up the courage to ask seriously.
Everyone looked at each other in bewilderment. Why would Talai bring the guards present? Although the others had vaguely guessed and asked, they had no evidence. Moreover, at this point, everyone who entered the palace had a tacit understanding, so no one answered for a while.
"Prince Qin! Where is Master Han?" He La, who was standing on the steps of the central palace beside the torch, called out the name directly.
"Your Majesty, please accept my condolences." Qin Hui knelt down and bowed his head on the spot. "Minister Han is dead!"
He La was incredulous for a moment: "Didn't you just talk to me and you? And why did you kill Han Shangshu but not you?"
"His Majesty."
Talai suddenly spoke up. "I saw it with my own eyes. The heads were taken away... They should be sent to the King of Liao to report. Prime Minister Qin was originally sent by the King of Liao to find Han Fang. Or maybe it was because Prime Minister Qin failed to find Han Fang that he was killed."
Hela's mind went blank.
"Your Majesty." Qin Hui also tried to respond. "This may not be ordered by the King of Liao himself... When I came here, it was His Majesty's eldest son Digunai who advocated the elimination of all unstable people, not His Majesty the King of Liao himself, otherwise why would I do this? Therefore, it may not be ordered by the King of Liao himself..."
Under the firelight, Hela's expression was uncertain for a moment.
"His Majesty."
At this time, with Hong Ya pushing from behind, Hesheli Taiyu, who had already been in a difficult situation, also stepped forward and saluted. "Actually, this is why we are here now... We are not the ones who are causing chaos, but the eldest prince is acting too aggressively, so in order to protect ourselves, we can only come to your side... Of course, we are also worried that someone will cause chaos and implicate your majesty, so we come to protect you."
Hela looked at the torches in the courtyard and listened to the unstoppable movement in the outer palace city. He was embarrassed for a moment: "How do you want me to protect you? How are you going to protect me? Although I am young, I know that if there is a riot at night and someone dies, no one can control the sword."
"Your Majesty," Yin Shuke finally stepped out of the line and suggested under the gaze of Talai and Taiyu. "The palace is too big. We only have a thousand people, plus the palace guards, which is only two thousand people... If a conflict occurs, we will not be able to defend it. I am afraid that as Your Majesty said, swords have no eyes... So, Your Majesty, why don't you move to the Shangshutai? The outer wall of that place is high and the area is slightly smaller, which is convenient for defense. There is also a large hall inside, which is convenient for accommodating the palace family. More importantly, the Shangshutai is in the center, which is convenient for issuing decrees to all parties."
