What to do if you have too many golden fingers? Walk sideways!

In the chaotic crowd, the second prince and the third prince were also fighting fiercely.

The fight between them was a little more interesting, like two angry lions wrestling - to be precise, it was more like wrestling.

After watching the excitement for a while, Chu Zhao put his hands on his hips and asked:

"Can someone explain to Ben Khan what's going on?"

The second prince and the third prince, who were originally entangled, stopped fighting immediately when they saw the Khan coming, and rushed forward one after another.

"Father, the second brother is going too far and trying to force his way into my mansion. You have to stand up for me!" The third prince spoke first, his tone full of grievance and anger.

The second prince was not to be outdone:

"You are the biggest suspect, so of course we have to search your house. If you didn't have something to hide, why did you stop us from searching?!"

The third prince was so angry that his face turned red and his eyes were wide open:

"Who knows what you are up to! You brought so many people here, are you trying to take advantage of this opportunity to destroy my Prince's Mansion?!"

Looking at the two people fighting each other, Gu Xi threw a look at Chu Zhao.

Chu Zhao understood immediately.

"You two are troublesome! In that case, you two should each take your men to search other places. As for your residences, I will search them myself. Isn't that fair? Tell all the ministers to go out and find the treasury supplies tonight, otherwise they will all be chopped off tomorrow morning!"

Hey, this trick is to lure the tiger away from the mountain.

All the people from the Second Prince and the Third Prince's Mansion went to search elsewhere, so Gu Xi and Chu Zhao entered the Third Prince's Mansion openly.

Gu Xi moved the weapons confiscated from the national treasury to the grass outside the space warehouse. These iron guys were not worth much anyway.

Then, Chu Zhao kept watch while Gu Xi collected and collected, and their coordination was seamless.

Gold, silver, jade, antiques, calligraphy and paintings, all valuable things were stored in the space.

As for the women in the backyard of the Third Prince's Mansion, Chu Zhao had already sent people to inform them that the Khan Khatun was coming and they should leave immediately.

After they had almost taken over the Third Prince's Mansion, the two men went to the Second Prince's Mansion and did the same thing.

It’s true, these two princes have collected a lot of good things in their mansions, but now they are all in the possession of Gu Xi.

That night, the entire Suiye City was in turmoil.

Some people took advantage of the search to rob the people's belongings.

Some ministers, in order to gain merit, forcibly plundered the property of wealthy households and common people under the banner of Khan, preparing to add it to the national treasury to replace the stolen materials, and even injured many civilians for this purpose.

For a time, people were full of complaints and hatred towards the Turkic Khan.

Until dawn, the ministers and two princes, who had been busy all night, did not even return home, but all knelt at the gate of the palace.

The supplies in the national treasury were not found, as if they had evaporated into thin air.

They felt that what the Khan said yesterday about beheading everyone was probably just an angry remark. If they were really killed, who would be left to serve the Turkic royal family?

Besides, they were recommended by the leaders of various tribes. If the leaders of various tribes rebelled, could the Turkic royal family still exist?

If they kneel down and offer the property they have looted from the people, that should be enough to appease the Khan.

This time Chu Zhao went to court alone. He did not invite the ministers into the government hall, but went straight to the palace gate with the palace guards.

In front of everyone, he asked, "Have the supplies in the treasury been found?"

Everyone shook their heads and were about to explain and plead, but the Khan didn't give them a chance. He just waved his hand and said in a grim tone:

"Except for the two princes, all others will be captured and brought to the city gates for execution!"

The palace guards looked at each other, at a loss.

Is Khan serious?

All the powerful Turkic officials are here. Can we just kill them off?

The two princes also changed their expressions and hurried forward to plead:

"Father Khan, you can't do that! All the ministers are the pillars of the country, and the Turks cannot do without them!"

Chu Zhao glared at them and refused to listen to any advice, perfectly portraying the image of a tyrant.

"Anyone who asks for mercy will be executed for the same crime!"

Under Chu Zhaodi's angry glare, the palace guards began to move forward tremblingly to capture those ministers.

One of the ministers suddenly stood up and shouted angrily:

"The Khan is incompetent! We cannot sit and wait for death! Everyone, the Khan is getting old and confused. I think we should ask him to abdicate and let someone else take over!"

Immediately, countless ministers stood up to respond. How could they not respond? If they didn’t say anything, they would lose their lives.

At this moment, the Second Prince's Party and the Third Prince's Party shared the same hatred and temporarily formed an alliance. Finally, they unanimously decided that Ili Khan would succeed to the throne so that the two sides could be balanced.

At this moment, a Turkic soldier on horseback suddenly rushed in, shouting: "Emergency military report!"

Everyone looked at him and saw that the Turkic soldier was dirty and bloody, and his horse was exhausted.

He saw that the palace gate was crowded with people and didn't understand what was going on. However, he was just a messenger and couldn't care less. He just knelt in front of Chu Zhao and said with great sorrow:

"Great Khan! The Turks were defeated, and the little Khan died!"

what? !

The whole audience remained silent for one minute.

The same question was lingering in everyone's mind: "How is this possible?"

It hasn't been many days since Young Khan Ili set out with an army of 150,000. It's estimated that he has only been in the territory of Anning Kingdom for a short time. Even if he suffers a defeat, it won't be a big deal that he, as the commander, will die first, right?

Chu Zhao cleared his throat and asked the soldier who delivered the message:

"Tell me in detail how our Turkic army was defeated?"

He just wanted to scare these Tatars, let them know how powerful the Han army is, and make them afraid, so that things would be easier to handle later.

The messenger described the incident of the thunder and explained in detail the death of Ili Khan. The ministers were stunned.

Is this messenger soldier telling a story?

What thunder?

With Ashina Yili's military power, it can be said that he was invincible in defeating the Turks. How could he be easily beaten to a pulp?

"Impossible!" One of the ministers grabbed the messenger by the collar.

He is Yili's uncle, and he was the one who insisted that Yili succeed to the throne. He had just convinced all the ministers, and now he was told that Yili was dead?

The messenger took out a bone flute from his bosom, handed it to the minister, and cried bitterly:

"My lord, the little Khan really died in the battle, and the warriors from each tribe have gone back to their respective places."

When Yili's uncle saw it, he realized that the bone flute was left to him by Yili's mother before she died, and he had been carrying it with him all the time. It seemed that what the messenger said was probably true.

His lips trembled and he couldn't utter a word.

The second prince and the third prince standing nearby showed hopeful looks.

Old man, please don't just be sad. Look over here, I can still continue to hold the throne!

Panic appeared on the faces of all the ministers, and some were even praying to God.

First, supplies from the national treasury disappeared, then the Great Khan went mad and wanted to kill all the ministers, and then the young Khan Ili died in battle.

"With external and internal troubles, is it God's will that we Turks will be destroyed?"
