My older brother is Gao Huan.

Chapter 210 With the Yuan clan destroyed, the Erzhu clan shall rise!
Twenty or thirty armored cavalrymen charged toward Yuan Ziyou!
Yuan Ziyou was terrified; his legs were so weak he almost fell to the ground.

But he is the emperor!
An emperor must have the bearing of an emperor; how could he lose face in front of a bunch of warriors?
Instead, Yuan Shao and Yuan Zizheng, who were standing beside him, were so frightened that they fell to the ground, just like the helpless women they had once insulted.

"How dare you look down upon me from your high place! How insolent you are!"

Yuan Ziyou was also trying to bolster his courage, and he roared angrily!

He recognized the two men in the lead.

One was named Guo Luosha, and the other was named Chilie Shagui, also known as Chilie Ping. Both were Erzhu Rong's confidants.

One is a Rakshasa, the other a demon slayer. What exactly does Erzhu Rong want to do by sending these two?
Is it really true that after slaughtering all the officials, he will seize the opportunity to ascend the throne and kill him as well?
Guo Luosha and Chilie Shagui dismounted and merely bowed, saying, "Your Majesty, the General has ordered that Prime Minister Yuan Yong harbors rebellious intentions and has sent us to protect Your Majesty. We apologize for our rudeness!"

Chilie Shagui raised his hand and waved.

Three strong and burly armored soldiers rushed up from behind and lifted Yuan Ziyou up with a single effort.

"Insolence! How dare you act in this way! I will execute you all!"

"Release me! I am the Emperor!!"

The Qihu elite cavalry wouldn't listen to him, nor would they do anything to him out of anger; they simply forcibly dragged him back to the palace's tent.

then.

Chi Lie Sha Gui coldly stared at Yuan Shao and Yuan Zizheng, who were slumped on the ground, their faces filled with terror and helplessness.

His eyes were filled with contempt and disdain.

After Yuan Ziyou ascended the throne, the two of them also successfully obtained the throne. Just a few days ago they were arrogant and haughty, but now they are so pathetic that they can only cry out for mercy.

He raised his hand again.

Several more elite armored soldiers stepped forward.

"take away!"

"Here!"

Yuan Shao and Yuan Zizheng didn't receive such good treatment. What kind of treatment do two people who are about to die need?
The soldiers dragged the two men out of Yuan Ziyou's tent as if they were two dead dogs.

"Your Majesty! Your Majesty, help!!"

"Why did you kill us both! Yuan Ziyou, you are so cruel! You've already ascended the throne, yet you still want to kill your own brothers?"

"Yuan Ziyou! I'll be waiting for you in the underworld. I am you today!"

Inside the tent.

Yuan Ziyou looked up in disbelief. He quickly got up and tried to rush out, but was forcibly blocked by the armored soldiers.

Two muffled thuds were heard.

Yuan Shao and Yuan Zizheng fell silent, followed by the sound of their bodies crashing heavily to the ground.

Yuan Ziyou staggered back a few steps, looking utterly dejected, and slumped to the ground.

What went wrong?
He had clearly planned everything perfectly.

how……

Why is it completely different from what he imagined?
What exactly is Erzhu Rong trying to do?

Is Erzhu Rongzhen already so eager to replace the Yuan family and ascend the throne at this time, thus seizing control of the world?
That damned Jiehu, how could he flip the table so quickly?

………………

At the Zhema Causeway.

Where the court officials and ministers once stood, only dried bloodstains remained.

Erzhu Rong ordered the corpses to be thrown into the Yellow River, and the Yellow River water temporarily turned into the Red River water.

Erzhu Rong stood on the banks of the Yellow River, looking at the water. Even with the strong winds blowing, the stench of blood in the air did not dissipate.

A strange sense of pleasure welled up inside me!

This is the entire court of officials and princes.

There were people who had looked down on him, people who had offended him, and of course, there were also 'innocent' people who had nothing to do with him.

This power to control the life and death of others.

With all the officials dead and the entire Wei court wiped out, a power vacuum has been created!
I stood there in silence for a long time.

Erzhu Rong turned around.

The leaders of the Erzhu clan, the Wuchuan faction, the Huaishuo faction, and the Imperial Guard faction all stood behind him.

Everyone's expression was different.

Fei Mu and the others looked surprised, because Erzhu Rong's indiscriminate massacre had killed many of his own people.

such as.

The people who escorted Yuan Ziyou northward from Luoyang a few days ago were Yang Wei, the nephew of Yang Shun, the General of the Northern Central Army; Zheng Jimin and Zheng Xianhu, the garrison commanders of the Northern Central City who had originally come to surrender; and Li Shengui, the son of the Duke of Chenliu, who held a large army on the south bank of the river bridge but did not resist, instead allowing Erzhu Rong's army to cross the Yellow River... These people were either purely "one of their own" or from the Imperial Guard faction.

However... none of them could escape Erzhu Rong's butcher's knife.

Although these people were all from the Imperial Guard faction, they were very close to Yuan Ziyou. People like Yang Wei and Zheng Jimin were loyal to Yuan Ziyou, and Erzhu Rong killed them.

Was it a warning to them, or an attempt to sow discord between them and Yuan Ziyou?
The Erzhu clan members were all extremely excited!
For them, killing one person is killing, and killing a group is also killing!

The more officials you kill, the more positions you make available!
Heba Yue, Gao Huan, and the others remained expressionless. They knew very well that the 'infamy' of massacring hundreds of officials was destined to be indelible.

at this time.

Wang Xiang rode up on horseback, "General, another group of people has arrived... What should we do?"

The last to arrive were mostly minor officials and prospective officials studying at the Imperial Academy.

"Is that even a question? Kill them all!!"

Erzhu Zhongyuan's face showed excitement. The ferocity genes he was born with, and the strong smell of blood in the air, made him unable to suppress his desire to kill.

Erzhu Rong raised his hand to stop him.

Instead, he turned to the crowd and asked, "Now that all the high-ranking officials, ministers, and princes have been executed, what should we do next?"

Erzhu Zhao immediately urged, "General! The ministers are dead, and the emperor is in our hands. Why not... take it one step at a time! Kill the emperor, and you, General, can ascend the throne right here!"

"Everything is in the hands of my Erzhu clan, why should we honor others as emperors!"

"That's right! Let Tianbao become emperor! Just give the order, and I'll lead my men to kill Yuan Ziyou!"

The members of the Erzhu clan were extremely excited. If Erzhu Rong could ascend the throne and become emperor, they could be made kings!
Fei Mu and the others' expressions changed drastically, but at this moment they dared not speak; silence was their only response.

Erzhu Rong, on the contrary, looked at Heba Yue and Gao Huan and asked them.

"Adou Ni, He Liuhun, what do you two tell me, what should we do now?"

Gao Huan gritted his teeth, bowed, and advised, "Things have come to this point, General, you can indeed take the opportunity to ascend the throne and become emperor! The ministers and officials are dead, and General, you no longer need to establish your authority."

"After ascending the throne and changing the era name, I will lead a large army north to quell the rebellion, which will be considered an unparalleled achievement in pacifying the world!"

"Adou? What do you think?"

After a moment's hesitation, Heba Yue also bowed down, saying, "The Great General should be crowned Emperor!"

"Hahahaha!"

Erzhu Rong laughed uncontrollably.

And at this time.

The next batch of officials had already been brought over by Prime Minister Wang!

Erzhu Rong walked up to the crowd, looked at them coldly, and asked, "Who can write the abdication edict?"

No one responded.

Erzhu Rong looked around carefully and saw a familiar face. He walked up to a scholar who was about the same age as himself.

"Isn't this Pengju?"

Upon hearing this, Wen Zisheng looked up at him, then lowered his head again and remained silent.

Wen Zisheng, along with Wei Shou and Xing Shao, was known as one of the "Three Talents of the North" and was quite famous in the literary world.

"What? You won't?"

Erzhu Rong raised his hand.

The soldiers around him immediately drew their swords from their waists.

Wen Zisheng gave him a cold look, then decided to drop the pretense and raised his head high, saying, "I am ashamed to associate with rebellious traitors. Kill me!"

The intellectuals were quite principled, and most of them were on the same side as Wen Zisheng.

But not every scholar has integrity and backbone.

"Great...General, I can write."

Under the angry gazes of everyone, a civil official named Zhao Yuanze tremblingly raised his hand and volunteered.

Erzhu Rong laughed loudly.

Erzhu Zhao shouted even louder.

"With the Yuan clan destroyed, the Erzhu clan shall rise!"

The soldiers around him all shouted in unison.

"With the Yuan clan destroyed, the Erzhu clan shall rise!"
