In the middle of the night, Mansur was woken up from his sleep, and in his sleepy eyes, he realized that something must have happened, otherwise no one would dare to wake him up at this time.

"What's going on?"

"Fire, fire, fire in Tessie!"

"Fire?"

Mansourho sat up, the fire could be big or small, and if not dealt with in time, it could even burn down the entire city.

The morale of the Umayyad dynasty, Ctesiphon, also caught fire once, and due to the slow response of the officials, half of the city was burned to ruins in the fire.

Mansour still remembers this, although he intends to move the capital, he is absolutely unwilling to seal off Tessie.

When the eunuch next to him saw that the caliph was still in the stage of slow reaction, he said:

"Someone must have deliberately set it on fire, they have long been dissatisfied with the caliphate, this is they venting, they simply ignored it, burned it, just right, just moved to Baghdad!"

As soon as these words came out, I didn't want Mansour's face to quickly become gloomy, staring at the mouthy eunuch, and said coldly:

"Do you have the right to speak about these things? Drag them out and kill them!"

The eunuch was frightened, and he took the caliphate in and became more and more fond of them, so naturally he thought less about it when he spoke, not wanting to cause death because of it.

"Spare your life, spare your life, the villain knows that he is wrong, and he will never dare to do it again!"

But Mansur was unmoved by his pleas for mercy.

"Dare to treat official affairs with personal grudges, you will die unjustly!"

The eunuchs standing on the left and right did not dare to hesitate any longer, and immediately pulled the mouthy eunuch out.

Everyone thought that Mansour would be happy to see this, but who would have thought that it would be the opposite.

"Haji, you go to the fire to supervise, if you don't fight, you will be killed with a knife!"

"Yes!"

Haji was a favored young eunuch around Mansour, who was good at observing words and feelings, and was very well-behaved, and Mansur liked to send this eunuch who knew how to advance and retreat to convey and carry out his will.

In fact, it doesn't matter who set the fire, the important thing is to control the fire as soon as possible, otherwise once it spreads to a certain scale, it will be impossible to put out the fire.

Those of the age in the city remember the fire that burned half of the city to the ruins during the Umayyad dynasty, and if it hadn't rained heavily, the whole Ctesiphon would have been burned down.

As a result, many people began to plan ahead, not to put out fires, but to move their families and possessions outside the city.

In charge of commanding the firefighting was Prince Qajar, the consul of Ctesiphon.

Prince Qajar could not find a caliph and had no right to mobilize the Janissaries to help put out the fire, so he organized a large number of slaves to rush to put out the fire, promising that if they did their best to put out the fire, they would be rewarded for their meritorious deeds.

The slaves were inspired, and naturally everyone worked hard, but the fire spread quickly by the strong wind, and it was not possible to extinguish it in an instant.

Seeing that the fire was about to intensify, Qajar was worried. He had personally experienced the fires of the Umayyad Dynasty, and although they were still small at the time, the fear of the fires has not been worn away by the passage of time.

At this time, the messenger sent by the caliph arrived.

Khazar reluctantly rushed to meet him, because he knew that the so-called messenger must be a eunuch.

Let a noble-born prince greet the most lowly of eunuchs, even though the caliph represented by this eunuch is equally humiliating!

However, no one has dared to openly challenge the authority of the caliphate, after all, no one wants to lose their lives because of such trivial matters, even affecting families and tribes.

Immediately after leaving the caliph, Haji changed from a docile and obedient little sheep to a high-spirited fox, and the ministers and generals saluted him, and he could not lift his eyelids more.

Bowing before him at this time was the brother of the caliph, the consul of Ctesiphon, the noble Prince of Qajar.

Haji had long been accustomed to a group of noble men wagging their tails at themselves like dogs, and a muffled snort came out of his nose in response.

"The caliph said, let you do your best to save it, otherwise you will be arrested and held accountable, you know?"

Fighting back his anger, Khazar replied:

"Everyone is working hard to extinguish the fire, and there is no passive slacking!"

Suddenly, Haji's eyelids opened and he glared at Khazar.

"No one is slacking off? Then I ask you, who sent those slaves to put out the fire? Don't you know that they are the property of the caliph?"

Faced with questioning, Khazar was speechless for a while, he really didn't expect that this eunuch would actually use this matter to make things difficult for himself.

In the final analysis, Haji just looked at Khazar unpleasantly, and casually found an excuse to suppress the breeze of Khazar's capture of the king, as long as Khajar said a few soft words, it would be over.

But Khazar was already angry, and worried about the spread of the fire, and this annoying eunuch did not really come to supervise the firefighting, but made things difficult first, so he said angrily:

"If the fire is not controlled, not to mention these thousands of slaves, even Ctesiphon is likely to be burned to the ground, and when the time comes, will there be a messenger responsible for these losses?"

"You! You're the one in charge of fighting the fire, so why should I be responsible?"

Hajj was furious, no one had ever dared to contradict him in public, after all, he represented the supreme caliph, who would dare to act so boldly? Even if Qajar was the caliph's brother? You know, the caliph at this time was most suspicious of his own brothers.

Therefore, the young eunuch showed no mercy and pointed at Khazar's nose in public and cursed.

"It must be you, the donkey, who is not satisfied with the caliph's relocation of the capital, and intends to retaliate with fire prevention, and now he is obstructing the firefighting, are you going to rebel?"

A large hat out of nothing was buttoned down, and Khazar was furious, and he jerked out the delicate scimitar studded with gems at his waist and pointed it at the eunuch Haji.

"Sooner or later, the caliph will fall into rebellion because of you eunuchs, and I will get rid of you pests in the court for the caliph now!"

Dogs that bark wildly with the power of their owners may not be able to challenge lions, and once these lions, which usually look like sick cats, have a seizure, the dogs are immediately frightened and their legs and feet weaken.

The eunuch Haji was no exception, and he was so frightened that he even stammered when he spoke.

Khazar was famous for his murder when he was young, and he was prone to slaughtering cities with enemies and captives, and now he was disgraced by a eunuch.

If Haji's indiscriminate accusation is not resisted, the "crime" is likely to become true, which is a lesson from the past, so he moved to kill in an instant, rather than let the eunuch succeed, it is better to kill him first!
