My older brother is Gao Huan.

Chapter 339 Removing the Armor! Removing the Armor!!

Yuan Ziyou's angry shouts were completely ineffective; the Qihu cavalry ignored him entirely. Fortunately, Erzhu Rong spoke up in time.

"Insolence! How dare you draw your weapons in front of His Majesty! How disrespectful! All of you, step back!"

The Qihu elite cavalry then withdrew one after another.

Li Xian reacted quickly. He hadn't expected Gao Feng to have such a fiery temper. After glancing at Chu Guang's corpse, he hurried forward.

"Prime Minister! Prime Minister! This matter must not be tolerated! We must seek justice for the General! How dare the Infantry Commandant be so audacious as to kill someone in front of His Majesty, the Prime Minister, and even all the officials! Is there no law left in our Great Wei? Is there no justice left?!"

Li Xian was filled with righteous indignation, and those around him all knelt down and shouted continuously.

"Your Majesty! Prime Minister, justice must be served for General Chu Guang!!"

"General Chu Guang fought for the country, how could he die so mysteriously!"

Erzhu Rong looked at Yuan Ziyou expressionlessly, "Your Majesty, regarding this matter..."

Gao Qian stepped forward and quickly explained, "Your Majesty, Ao Cao is not a cruel person. He has always been law-abiding. There must be some misunderstanding here."

"Ao Cao! What on earth happened?"

Gao Ang showed no fear, calmly putting his sword back into its sheath and coldly saying, "This barbarian dog insulted me for no reason! How can I tolerate such humiliation?"

"how is this possible?"

Li Xian retorted, "Although General Chu Guang is a military man, he is usually very polite to others. How could he act in such a way? Prime Minister! I am willing to stake my head on General Chu Guang; he is not that kind of person!"

"I'm willing to protect it too!"

"General Chu Guang is not that kind of person at all!"

Yuan Ziyou's face turned ashen, and he remained silent. Even though he was slow to react, he finally realized that Erzhu Rong was taking the opportunity to eliminate the few remaining 'security forces' around him, leaving him as a commander without any troops.

“Your Majesty, General Chu Guang was under my command. He was extremely brave in battle and made great contributions to our Great Wei. He was not the kind of person who would easily insult others. Of course, I also believe that the Infantry Captain is not a person who speaks nonsense. However… how could General Chu Guang have died so mysteriously? Moreover… what does the Infantry Captain mean by calling us barbarian dogs?”

"How dare you, a subject of the Great Wei, utter such disrespectful words."

Erzhu Rong sneered, then looked to the side, "Minister of Justice, in your opinion, what crime should the Infantry Commandant be punished for?"

Gao Gongzhi was speechless for a moment.

Erzhu Rong did not give him a chance to remain silent, but instead pressed on, "I have long heard of the Minister of Justice's reputation for strict law enforcement in Jinyang. I also believe that the Minister of Justice will enforce the law impartially and without bias, and will certainly not disregard the law of the country because of personal relationships!"

Yuan Ziyou had no choice but to speak first.

"The infantry captain is guilty beyond redress!"

“Remove him from his post and detain him in the Court of Justice until he is convicted.”

"Yes!"

"Somebody come!"

Gao Gongzhi immediately understood and shouted, after which Imperial Guards stepped forward.

Gao Ang showed no fear and broke free, saying, "Let me go, I can walk by myself!"

Having said that, he walked past Erzhu Rong with his head held high and chest puffed out.

Erzhu Rong didn't say much. His goal had been achieved. Instead, he turned around and said, "You all collect General Chu Guang's body. General Chu Guang made great contributions during his lifetime. He must be given a proper burial!"

Li Xian and the others readily agreed.

Chu Guang, a good brother, used his own head as a stepping stone for them, enabling them to climb higher.

Go in peace!

I will take good care of your wife and children!
This unexpected farce made all the officials realize just how intense the conflict between imperial power and the power of the prime minister truly was.

The tense atmosphere between Yuan Ziyou and Erzhu Rong was no longer concealed at all!

Everyone knows perfectly well that although Gao Feng has a violent temper, he is not a bloodthirsty psychopath. How could he kill someone for no reason?
Chu Guang must have said something to anger him.

but.

There's no way to verify this now that the dead are dead.

Erzhu Rong immediately cut off Yuan Ziyou's arm, which could be considered a warning to Yuan Ziyou! The banquet held in the palace ended hastily in the end.

Gao Qian looked anxious. He went to the Mingguang Hall to see Yuan Ziyou, "Your Majesty... Ao Cao Ta."

"I know."

Yuan Ziyou's face was ashen. "Ao Cao's impetuous nature will only bring trouble upon himself. I told you long ago to persuade him to calm down."

Gao Qian was helpless.

Gao Feng's fiery temper was completely unsuitable for serving as an official in Luoyang, and he had long guessed that Gao Feng would pay the price for his temper.

But I never imagined things would turn out this way!

"Let him stay with the Court of Justice for the time being. His life is not in danger. We will find a way to rescue him later. For now, I can only protect his life for the time being."

"Your subject... understands."

Gao Qian sighed.

He knew very well that in such an atmosphere, Gao Ang was able to escape with his life, which was already the result of Yuan Ziyou's best efforts.

If Yuan Ziyou forcibly releases him.

Erzhu Rong would certainly use this as an excuse to constantly attack him.

"Your Majesty, I shall take my leave now."

Watching Gao Qian leave, Yuan Ziyou felt a surge of nameless anger rising within him!

During the day, the scene outside Dongyang City constantly agitated him.

Erzhu Rong's sneer, Erzhu Rong's smugness.

"Ahhhhh!!"

Unnamed anger mixed with the immense pressure of having his life threatened left Yuan Ziyou with no choice but to vent in this way!
He seemed to have thought of something.

He stormed into Erzhu Ying'e's palace in a rage.

Seeing the emperor's ashen face, the maids all knelt on the ground, not daring to raise their heads.

Erzhu Ying'e, who had been fast asleep, was awakened by the noise Yuan Ziyou made. She was a little groggy at first and only said faintly, "Your Majesty has arrived?"

"stand up!"

Yuan Ziyou's harsh shout startled Erzhu Ying'e awake, and she got up from the bed in a daze.

Looking at her swollen belly, Yuan Ziyou felt no pity whatsoever, but rather annoyed and said, "Remove your armor!"

Erzhu Ying'e was still confused.

"Disarm! I order you to disarm!!"

Although she didn't know what had happened, seeing Yuan Ziyou acting like a lunatic, she could guess that she had been upset by her father.

Anger welled up in his heart.

He immediately retorted.

"Your Majesty, do not forget how you came to be the Son of Heaven! Without the assistance of my Erzhu clan, how could you hold the throne?"

"My Erzhu clan is not so easily bullied!"

"If there is nothing else, Your Majesty, please return. I need to rest to avoid disturbing the pregnancy."

Yuan Ziyou's face turned ashen, and he glared at Erzhu Ying'e with resentment in his eyes, only to find that Erzhu Ying'e was completely unafraid.

He waved his hand angrily.

Snapped!
He slapped a maidservant next to him to the ground.

Only then did he leave in a huff.
