My older brother is Gao Huan.

Chapter 456 Three Punches to the Emperor!

Gao Cheng's words were cold, and although he spoke softly, they sent chills down Yuan Xiu's spine.

He suddenly came to his senses. The 'pretty boy' in front of him, who looked exactly like the Gao brothers, seemed harmless, yet he had such a fierce look in his eyes, which was completely inconsistent with his appearance.

"Your Majesty, I, Gao Cheng, request a drink from you!"

Gao Cheng raised his voice slightly, slammed his hand on the table, stood up abruptly, took a step forward, and his eyes became even more ferocious.

Gao Cheng was not fully developed yet; he was not as tall as Yuan Xiu, nor was he as robust.

But Yuan Xiu's aura inexplicably diminished.

As Gao Cheng continued to advance, closing in step by step, until he stood before him, his shadow completely enveloping him, Gao Cheng glared down at him, "Your Majesty!"

"I...I..."

Yuan Xiu spoke somewhat haltingly.

Cui Jishu watched from the side, shaking his head repeatedly.

He doesn't look like a ruler at all; he has no imperial majesty whatsoever. I've heard that Yuan Xiu is fond of studying martial arts and also likes to take the Imperial Guards out hunting.

He has a strong physique, but his heart is so weak.

Not to mention comparing him to Gao Yu, even compared to the late Emperor Yuan Ziyou, he is far inferior.

How dare such insects usurp the emperor's throne and allow the Great Wei to continue its pathetic existence?
Tonight, this 'emperor' should truly see the situation clearly.

If Yuan Xiu doesn't want to maintain a dignified appearance, then the master and disciple will help him do so.

Having witnessed Gao Cheng's various acts of transgression that disregarded the proper etiquette between ruler and subject, Cui Jishu simply watched without offering any intervention.

The general has been bearing so much infamy these days; it's time for his subordinates to step forward.

Yuan Xiu picked up the wine cup and drank it all in one gulp. He looked up, but before he could even speak...

Gao Cheng, however, had already taken the wine jar next to him and filled his cup with wine with a smile. Although he was speaking with a smile, his words left no room for doubt.

"Your Majesty, I, Gao Cheng, request a drink from you!"

"you……"

"Please, Your Majesty, have a drink!"

Yuan Xiu's eyes were full of anger, but he still obediently picked up the wine cup and drank the wine in it again in one gulp.

Gao Cheng had already transformed into an invisible wine-refilling machine, once again filling his glass with wine.

"Please, Your Majesty, have a drink!"

After repeating this process four or five times, Yuan Xiu's face was filled with shame and indignation!
How could he not see it?

Gao Cheng is just finding all sorts of ways to humiliate himself!

When the cup was refilled, Yuan Xiu finally couldn't hold back any longer; even a clay figure has some fire in it.

"Gao Cheng!"

Gao Cheng stopped what he was doing. "What is it, Your Majesty?"

"Throughout history, no dynasty has ever escaped destruction. Now that the Great Wei has fallen to such a state, I am powerless to stop it. However... I am still the Emperor of the Great Wei! How can I allow myself to be humiliated like this by you juniors! Is this how the Gao family conducts its subjects?!"

"Who taught you to be so disrespectful to your sovereign and to insult the emperor like this?"

Gao Cheng's smile faltered slightly. He put down the wine jar, bowed slightly, and leaned forward to get close to Yuan Xiu.

"I?"

"I?"

Each time he spoke, he would close the distance between himself and Yuan Xiu. In Yuan Xiu's eyes, he saw a youthful and handsome face constantly approaching him, slowly enlarging in his pupils!

"I! I! You dog-legged emperor!"

“You are merely a distant relative. If it weren’t for my uncle and father’s support, how could you be seated on the throne?”

"Now that we have powerful enemies eyeing us covetously from the outside, you, as the emperor, are not thinking about how to repel them, but instead scheming about internal strife and seizing power? You have not thought of repaying the kindness of my uncle and father..."

"Emperor?"

“Look at you! You have an ordinary appearance, a pointed mouth and monkey cheeks. Where is the slightest bit of the aura of an emperor? You don’t look like a ruler at all.”

“These days, you’ve been running around in Ye City, only because my uncle and father were deeply indebted to the late emperor. That’s why they’ve been so lenient with you. Do you really think they can’t do anything about you? Do you know what kind of image you have in the eyes of the people? They see you as nothing more than a monkey dressed in the emperor’s robes!”

"You're trying to sow discord between my uncle and my father? And you even dare to ask me to persuade my father to oppose my uncle??"

Under Yuan Xiu's astonished gaze, Gao Cheng sneered, "A creature like you, sitting on the emperor's throne, is still so foolish."

"How could a mere outsider like you possibly sow discord between my father and uncle? As for me..."

"Your Majesty, let me tell you, if it weren't for my uncle, I would have perished long ago in the Six Garrisons Rebellion. My uncle treated me like his own son, how could I betray him?"

Yuan Xiu took a step back in alarm.

He looked at Gao Cheng's fierce face and listened to Gao Cheng's humiliating roars before he came to his senses.

Where did I go wrong?

He always felt that Gao Huan had intercepted Yuan Ziyou's will and the imperial seal, and unilaterally preemptively installed him as emperor.

A rift developed between the two brothers.

He can keep using it!
This is also related to his environment. Among relatives, even brothers, there is more competition for power than mutual support.

He simply did not understand how strong the bond was between the two brothers who had supported each other through the harsh, high-mortality region.

They also don't understand how much help Lou Zhaojun gave Gao Yu back in Huai Shuo, before the two brothers had officially made their fortune.

The Xuanjia Army was initially supported and funded by the Lou family.

The elder brother and sister-in-law were extremely kind to Gao Yu.

Even if something happens, as long as it doesn't cross the line, Gao Yu can forgive it.

He also underestimated it too much.

Gao Yu's position in the hearts of Gao Cheng and Gao Yang.

After being so thoroughly humiliated, Yuan Xiu suddenly looked up, his face filled with shame and anger, and his whole body trembling.

Gao Cheng's words truly made him see the bloody reality.

He finally understood.

Why……

These people will stand by and watch themselves be humiliated.

His every move made him look like a clown.

"what!!"

He jumped up and pushed Gao Cheng down, clenching his fists in anger.

"Hahaha! I lack the aura of an emperor? I don't look like a ruler? Very well! You've stopped pretending, and so have I!!"

Yuan Xiu clenched his fist and threw a punch at Gao Cheng.

however……

Before he could throw a punch, he heard a whooshing sound in his ear.

A fist the size of a clay pot appeared in his line of sight, and then continued to grow larger.

There was a dull thud.

The fist, as big as a clay pot, slammed directly into his face, making intimate contact with his already unattractive features.

The solid punch contorted Yuan Xiu's features, and he fell uncontrollably to the ground, letting out a painful howl.

The wailing stopped almost immediately after it began!

Looking at Cui Jishu, who had the appearance of a scholar, his movements were swift and fluid. He quickly stepped forward and delivered two punches, one on each side, hitting Yuan Xiu on the head!
Yuan Xiu felt his head buzzing and his vision blurred.

Gao Cheng, who had been sitting on the ground, also looked at his teacher with a blank expression.

He never expected that his teacher, who usually seemed so quiet and unassuming, would be so different.

How could a punch be so powerful?

With his broad shoulders and thick waist, Yuan Xiu's physique was no joke.

He was knocked to the ground with a single punch, and then quickly landed two more punches, giving Yuan Xiu no chance to retaliate.

He could only lie on the ground, unable to get up.

Its painful wails echoed continuously throughout the hall.
