Three Kingdoms: Ten Times Speed, Diao Chan Says I'm Too Fast

"His Majesty......"

Despite his reluctance, Yuan Wei had no choice but to rise from his seat as Liu Hong instructed, then come to the front of the hall and bow to Liu Hong.

"Although General Wei has rendered meritorious service, the crime of murder cannot go unpunished, and Wei Ban is an official appointed by the imperial court."

Yuan Wei forced himself to say, "Therefore, this old minister suggests that the punishment be severe."

Grand Commandant Yang Ci then stepped forward: "Your Majesty, this old minister seconds the motion."

"this......"

Liu Hong, sitting on the dragon throne, pretended to be in a difficult position.

But even a fool could see that Liu Hong was deliberately putting on a show for Duan Yu.

However, not all of these ministers were intelligent.

Before Liu Hong could finish speaking.

He Jin, as the Grand General, was the first to step forward.

"Minister Yuan, Grand Commandant Yang!"

He Jin walked out of his seat with an upright expression and looked at the two of them.

Having just received a huge bribe from Duan Yu outside Sima Gate, He Jin felt that if he didn't step forward and say something, how could he possibly accept Duan Yu's blank paper and share of the snow salt?

Ever since.

He Jin came out of the station.

“Minister Yuan, Grand Commandant Yang, there’s something wrong with what you’re saying.”

He Jin said with a righteous expression, "Although Duan Yu made a mistake, he was not at fault first."

"That guard abused his position for personal gain to take revenge on Dong Zhuo, which led to his own demise!"

"Duan Yu fought bloody battles on the battlefield to suppress rebellions for the imperial court, yet his family and relatives were subjected to humiliation?"

"What kind of logic is this? Wouldn't doing this make Duan Yu feel disheartened?"

"Your Majesty, if you ask me, although Duan Yu made a mistake, he doesn't deserve to be severely punished!"

"Correct!"

Before leaving, He Jin gave himself a pep talk.

Yuan Wei and Yang Ci both rolled their eyes at He Jin.

The look in his eyes was as if he were looking at an idiot.

Of all the officials present, He Jin was probably the only one who didn't realize that the emperor was looking for someone to play the villain.

Now it's not your place, He Jin, to come out and curry favor.

What you're saying are lines spoken by the emperor.

At this point, only a fool like you would dare to steal the emperor's lines.

Sure enough, Liu Hong, who was sitting on the dragon throne, looked rather unpleasant after hearing He Jin's words.

“Um…” Liu Hong frowned and glanced at He Jin, then waved his hand somewhat irritably and said, “General, you may step back. I have my own plans.”

He Jin turned around and gave Duan Yu a look that seemed to be seeking credit.

Duan Yu gave a helpless twitch of his lips.

He Jin is really quite adorable.

Liu Hong's gaze swept over the many court officials once again.

Knowing that Liu Hong was going to drag someone up to play the villain again, almost the instant Liu Hong scanned them, everyone lowered their heads.

However, there are always those who are slow to react.

It was Fu Wan, the Commander of the Imperial Guards, who stood behind Duan Yu and outside the crowd.

When Fu Wan felt Liu Hong's gaze fall on him.

My heart skipped a beat.

broken!

Fu Wan was greatly alarmed!

Impeaching Duan Yu today is already a huge risk; we can't afford to offend him too much now.

Such a big matter, yet the emperor didn't order Duan Yu's arrest last night, so he definitely doesn't intend to punish him severely.

Today, they came out to impeach Duan Yu, but they had no other choice but to do so.

Seeing that Duan Yu was now proactively admitting his mistakes and handing over money and grain, he had already pleased the emperor.

Duan Yu is guaranteed to be completely fine.

Just as Fu Wan was about to quietly return to the crowd.

Liu Hong called out to Fu Wan.

Immediately, Fu Wan's face turned as ugly as if his father had died.

"Commander of the Imperial Guards, since you impeached Duan Yu, tell me, what punishment do you suggest for Duan Yu?" Liu Hong said to Fu Wan, "After all, you are the Commander of the Imperial Guards, and you are responsible for the security of Luoyang."

Fu Wan: %……&*￥%……%!

"Your Majesty..." Fu Wan swallowed hard, glanced at Duan Yu in front of him, and said, "How about... um... I suggest that Duan Yu be dismissed from his post and title, and imprisoned to await trial."

Fu Wan almost gritted his teeth and forced himself to follow Liu Hong's words.

hiss!

How dare you!

The courtiers looked at Fu Wan with admiration and sympathy.

I admire Fu Wan's courage.

Of course, the sympathy is for Fu Wan, who was conscripted into the army and may suffer Duan Yu's revenge in the future.

Having missed one opportunity, Liu Hong certainly wouldn't let this second one slip by.

Seeing that He Jin was about to rush out again, Liu Hong slammed his hand on the table in a panic.

"Minister Fu, you're exaggerating!"

Liu Hong quickly said, "Although Duan Yu made a mistake in this matter, it was not Duan Yu who was at fault first."

"Duan Yu is currently suppressing the rebel army at the front line. How can he be dismissed from his post, stripped of his title, and imprisoned to await trial?"

"Duan Yu is a meritorious official of the Han Dynasty and a trusted minister of mine."

"But Duan Yu also said that mistakes should be punished, and I cannot be biased. So let's give him a small punishment for now, remove him from his post as General of the Guards, and reward him after he has made meritorious contributions."

call.

Fu Wan let out a long sigh of relief and wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.

fortunately.

Fortunately, the emperor did not actually dismiss Duan Yu from his post, strip him of his title, or imprison him to await trial, as he had wished.

If he really listened to him, Duan Yu would probably be the first to kill him when he came out.

"Duan Yu, do you accept my punishment?" Liu Hong looked at Duan Yu.

Duan Yu smiled inwardly.

Liu Hong really went through a huge detour.

"I am completely convinced," Duan Yu said, bowing.

"Good good."

Liu Hong nodded with a smile.

Now everyone's happy.

They also received hundreds of millions of dollars for no reason.

Since donating all the money and grain from the West Garden, Liu Hong hasn't had a good night's sleep in a long time.

When you have no money, you panic. There's nothing you can do; I was terrified of poverty when I was still the Marquis of Jiedu as a child.

Liu Hong is now all happy.

But the real show has only just begun.

With his narrow, fox-like eyes, Yuan Wei glanced at Liu Hong on the dragon throne, then raised his scepter.

"Your Majesty, it is only natural that Lord Duan has returned. He must be the one who knows best why the Yellow Turban rebels appeared in Taiyuan County."

"How did these million-strong bandit army cross the Black Mountain and arrive at Taiyuan County?"

"And what are your plans, Lord Duan, to deal with this million-strong bandit army?"

After Yuan Wei finished speaking, all the sounds in the hall fell silent.

The reasons why Duan Yu was recalled to Luoyang had already been revealed through various channels.

The main reason was that a million bandits crossed the Black Mountain and appeared in Taiyuan County.

Some in the court suspected that Duan Yu was secretly colluding with the Yellow Turban rebels and providing them with food.

Some say that Duan Yu harbored bandits to enhance his own power.

Some people privately say that Duan Yu was secretly colluding with the rebels.

Some say that Duan Yu has already defected to Zhang Jiao.

Say anything.

In short, all the suspicions were focused on Duan Yu.

Yuan Wei, that old fox, kills people by destroying their spirit.

This single sentence successfully destroyed almost the entire image of Duan Yu as a loyal subject of the Han Dynasty that Liu Hong had just established for him.

However, Duan Yu, who was standing behind Yuan Wei with his head down, slightly raised the corners of his mouth.

It's too early to say who the hunter is and who the prey is.

Some things, if you have to get him to say them himself, will have a much less effective effect.

But if it comes from someone else, the situation is completely different.

Yuan Wei turned around, glanced at Duan Yu, and then said, "Lord Duan is a valiant general in the army."

"Of course I know how long it would take for these million rebel soldiers to travel from Jizhou through the Black Mountain to Taiyuan County."

"I have a question that I would like to ask Lord Duan."

"Since Lord Duan followed a million rebel soldiers all the way from Jizhou to Taiyuan County, he must know where these million rebel soldiers got their food and supplies from."

"The grain supplies that can feed a million people must amount to at least several hundred thousand bushels."

"It's only the beginning of the autumn harvest; surely these hundreds of thousands of bushels of grain couldn't have just appeared out of thin air?"

Liu Hong on the dragon throne.

Also standing under the Nine Dragon Wall are Zhang Rang and Zhao Zhong.

General He Jin is in the front row.

All eyes of the court officials were on Duan Yu.

If Duan Yu doesn't answer this question well...

That would be far more serious than killing Wei Ban.

Everyone was waiting for Duan Yu's answer.

Duan Yu, a smile playing on his lips, slowly raised his head and glanced at Yuan Wei.

When Yuan Wei saw the smile on Duan Yu's lips, his brows immediately furrowed.

Is Duan Yu smiling?

Why is he laughing?

What is he laughing at?

Duan Yu's smile faded, and he raised his imperial tablet to Liu Hong on the dragon throne, saying, "Your Majesty, I do indeed know the answer to the question concerning Minister Situ."

Liu Hong raised an eyebrow.

"Because it was I who provided the provisions for these million rebel soldiers!"

hiss!

The entire hall was immediately filled with a buzzing sound as Duan Yu finished speaking.

Even Liu Hong, who was sitting on the dragon throne, was so surprised that he stood up abruptly.

"Duan Yu, what... what did you say?!" Liu Hong stared wide-eyed at Duan Yu!
