"You also want to impeach the general?"
Cao Pi glanced at Yang Ling and said pretending to be unhappy,
"Tell me, what do you want to impeach the general?"
"Your Majesty, I want to impeach the general for hiding his armor and having evil intentions!"
As soon as these words came out, there was an uproar in the palace!
"The general who leads the army, the general has done so much for our Wei Dynasty, how could he have evil intentions?!"
The first person to speak was Tingwei Guo Jia.
He stared at Zhu Shuo with a rather unhappy look on his face.
"That's right! Your Majesty, please let me be more presumptuous. If the general really intends to rebel, how can he return to Xudu?"
Attendant Xinpi also nodded in agreement.
"I also think that Your Majesty needs to think twice!"
Even Jia Xu, who never liked speaking, couldn't help but speak.
But in the face of everyone's advice, Cao Pi just snorted coldly,
"Yancai said that the general hid the armor secretly. Is there any evidence?"
"Reporting to Your Majesty, I received a tip yesterday that the general was resentful of Your Majesty, so he secretly purchased hundreds of armors and planned to rebel!"
Zhu Shuo said in a deep voice.
"Where are these armors hidden?"
"Right in Xudu City!"
"In that case, then you should take me and a group of ministers there. If you don't find it, don't blame me for being rude!"
Cao Pi snorted coldly.
"I accept your order!"
Zhu Shuo cupped his fists and said.
Following Cao Pi's order, Zhu Shuo mobilized the imperial army to escort him and a group of civil and military officials out of the palace.
Yang Ling, Pang Tong, Gan Ning and others were sandwiched in the team, following Cao Pi's car.
"General, could it be that you really hid the armor secretly?"
Zhang Xiu leaned over and whispered.
Dian Wei couldn't help but rolled his eyes.
"General Poqiang, why do you have no brains at all? As my eldest brother, do you still need to hide your armor?"
"That's exactly what General Dian said."
Zhang Xiu smiled.
"But this guy Zhu Shuo looks very confident."
Hu Cheer on the side said nervously.
"No rush, let's take a look first and then talk."
Yang Ling said calmly.
Not long after, everyone led by Cao Pi arrived at the east of Xudu's city.
It is close to the city gate, and outside the city is a small river with relatively developed waterways.
Therefore, the warehouses of many businesses in the city are located here.
When he saw Zhu Shuo leading everyone here, Yang Ling probably understood his intention.
Although swords were not prohibited in ancient times, private possession of armor was strictly prohibited.
After all, armor is extremely defensive and expensive to make.
Unless they want to rebel, generally no one would hide armor secretly.
Back then, Zhou Yafu was held accountable for his son's private purchase of armor. In anger, he eventually went on a hunger strike and died in prison.
Cao Pi probably wanted to attack himself by framing him for hiding the armor.
But hundreds of armors were so huge that it was almost impossible to transport them quietly to Yang Ling's mansion.
In this case, it can only be placed in places related to Yang Ling.
The Mi family's warehouse is the most suitable place.
After all, Yang Ling has a close relationship with the Mi family. Businesses such as Moutai, perfume, and tobacco are all managed by the Mi family.
If it was really found from the Mi family's warehouse, then Yang Ling would never have anything to do with it!
Sure enough, when the imperial army surrounded the warehouse, they easily found hundreds of armors.
When these fine armors were neatly placed in the yard, Cao Pi's face darkened and he looked at Yang Ling.
"General, what else can you say?"
"I don't know where these armors come from, so I have nothing to say."
Yang Ling said calmly.
"What a speechless person!"
Cao Pi sneered and said,
"Let me ask all the officials in the court, who doesn't know about your relationship with the Mi family?"
"And the Mi family is mainly engaged in business, so they have neither the ability nor the need to purchase so many armors."
"Do you think I'm a fool?"
Yang Ling raised his head and looked at Cao Pi.
His sharp eyes made Cao Pi look away guiltily, not daring to look directly at him.
"If your Majesty really wants me to say something, I only have eight words, so why bother to accuse me of it?"
"It's so easy to blame someone!"
After being scolded by Yang Ling in public, Cao Pi looked a little worried and said coldly,
"Central leader, obey the order!"
"Please give me your Majesty's orders!"
Zhu Shuo answered with cupped hands.
"It's up to you to investigate this matter clearly, and be sure to clear the General's name!"
"I accept your order!"
Zhu Shuo nodded, and with a wave of his hand, the Forbidden Army behind him rushed directly into the hundreds of officials like wolves and tigers, and pulled out the trembling brothers Mi Zhu and Mi Fang.
"Your Majesty, I was wronged!"
Mi Zhu shouted quickly.
But Cao Pi just snorted and ignored it.
"Brother-in-law..."
Mi Fang looked at Yang Ling as if asking for help.
"Brother-in-law, don't worry. As long as you tell the truth, there will be no consequences."
While Yang Ling comforted Mi Fang, he looked at Cao Pi intentionally or unintentionally.
"By the way, during this period of time when the truth is not found out, the general is asked to wait quietly at his house!"
Cao Pi dropped these words and walked away.
All the court officials cast sympathetic glances at Yang Ling, and then dispersed.
…
"Bastard Cao Pi, how dare you slander big brother like this!"
As soon as he returned to his house, Xu Chu was so angry that he gritted his teeth.
"Fourth brother, be careful what you say!"
Zhao Yun quickly stopped Xu Chu.
You must know that the spies of the school affairs office are all-pervasive. If Cao Pi finds out, I'm afraid Xu Chu will be beaten!
"Be careful what you say!"
Xu Chu looked at Yang Ling angrily,
"Brother, Cao Pi has bullied us, why don't you react?"
"Yeah, this bastard doesn't even think about it. If it weren't for you, eldest brother, how could he become the emperor!"
Dian Wei also had an unhappy look on his face!
Yang Ling, however, couldn't help but laugh, then sat down and slowly picked up a cup of tea and began to taste it.
Seeing how calm he was, even Zhao Yun, who had always been calm, couldn't help but say,
"Wei Ting is responsible for the interrogation full-time, but His Majesty did not let Mr. Feng Xiao interrogate the two brothers of the Mi family. Instead, he handed it over to the leader of the army. I'm afraid he had the intention of subduing the two brothers."
"If they fail to resist the interrogation, Your Majesty will have an excuse to attack the eldest brother."
"Why is Brother so calm?"
Yang Ling chuckled and asked,
"Let me ask you, do you think what happened today was framed?"
"Nonsense, don't you need to say this? It must be a frame-up!"
Xu Chu nodded.
"Even you can see that someone is framing me, can't all the civil and military officials see it?"
"Every human heart has its weight. The more your Majesty goes too far, the more people will lose their hearts!"
"And when that time comes, it's a good time for us to take action!"
A glint flashed in Yang Ling's eyes.
The four brothers Dian Wei, Zhao Yun, and Xu Chu looked at each other and said in unison,
"Everything is done according to Big Brother's orders!"
