Cheng Yu couldn't help but be startled, and asked a little confused: "I stepped out of the courtiers' queue with my right foot first, but so what?"
Looking at Cheng Yu who was a little less confident.
Gao Yi walked up to him, helped him adjust his remains, and spoke the most sympathetic words in the warmest tone.
"What's wrong! What else can be done!"
"Come here! Drag this daring person out and punish him with thirty boards."
As soon as this statement came out, the whole court was in an uproar.
Xun Yu immediately prepared to walk out of the queue of courtiers and plead for mercy.
But thinking of what Gao Yi had just said, he decisively took back his right foot that had already taken half a step forward, and switched to his left foot to take the lead.
He begged for mercy: "Master Marquis, do you want to punish Mr. Cheng with a cane just because he stepped out with his right foot first?"
"Master Marquis, don't you know Dong Zhuo? In the past, Dong Zhuo was just because..."
The words are not finished yet.
Gao Yi waved his hand and interrupted: "Hello, cough, cough, cough!... Xun Yu, please stop raising chestnuts for me. I am not the ignorant and reckless man like Dong Zhuo."
"The Han Dynasty followed the Qin Dynasty. I, the Han Dynasty, have always respected the right side. Master Cheng actually dared to step out of the court line with his right foot first. Doesn't he despise the three important ministers in the court?"
"Cheng Yu is only a third-rank official, how dare he be so presumptuous? If we don't teach him a lesson today, wouldn't it be possible to chill the hearts of the ministers above the third rank?"
After Gao Yi finished speaking, all the civil and military ministers of the Manchu Dynasty couldn't help but secretly clicked their tongues.
What a great way to avenge private revenge!
Cheng Yu gritted his teeth and said bitterly: "My dear Gao Yi, don't you dare slander anyone. If you want to punish me, Cheng Yu, just come right ahead! Why bother with so many twists and turns."
"If you dare, beat me to death!"
Gao Yi looked surprised, nodded and praised: "I have lived for so long, and I have never heard of such a request! Okay! ... I will satisfy you!"
"Come here, change the thirty big boards into beheadings for public display. Drag them out now. This will save Master Cheng from waiting in a hurry."
Cheng Yu pointed at Gao Yi with chattering teeth.
At this moment, Xun Yu hurriedly winked at the civil servants in the court, gesturing for their help to plead for mercy.
Basically, these ministers have their descendants holding official positions in the two states of Yan and Yu, and now both states are in the hands of Cao Cao.
After weighing the pros and cons, twenty or thirty ministers stepped out of the queue with their left foot first and pleaded:
"Sir Cheng, it was just an unintentional mistake. I hope the Marquis will temporarily calm down the thunderous anger!"
"If you kill the courtiers just because your right foot steps out first, I'm afraid it won't stop everyone in the world from talking!"
Gao Yi glanced at the faces of these ministers and roughly remembered who they were.
After a long time, Gao Yi suddenly put on a smiling face, nodded and said: "Since there are so many courtiers interceding for Lord Cheng, I will spare your life this time!"
"But the crime of death can be avoided, but the crime of living cannot be escaped. Please ask Mr. Cheng to go down and collect the thirty big boards."
Seeing several guards preparing to drag him down, Cheng Yu swung himself left and right a few times to avoid those people, and stood proudly and said arrogantly:
"Hmph! I am a dignified third-grade civil servant. You and other vulgar warriors can't touch me. Get out of my way...I will go over by myself."
After saying this, Cheng Yu walked majestically and proudly towards the outside of the palace.
It has the momentum of a generous elegiac song like the wind rustling and the water cold, and the heroic man gone and never coming back.
Not long after, Xun Yu was shouting to himself: Fortunately, Gao Yi didn't go too far, it was only thirty big games, Cheng Yu would definitely be able to get through it. It is estimated that it will only last for a hundred days at most. No problem! No problem!
At this moment.
Suddenly, a guard hurried back to the Golden Palace and reported with a sad face: "Reporting to the Marquis, Mr. Cheng has unfortunately died just now."
When all the courtiers heard this, they all took a deep breath.
Gao Yi slapped his forehead, pretending to be distressed, and cried out sadly: "What on earth is going on? Didn't I already order you to behead the generals and change them to thirty big boards with a stick?"
"Reporting to the Marquis, we are indeed just punishing Mr. Cheng with the stick. Who would have thought that Mr. Cheng's physical condition is so poor that his brains have collapsed after just one blow."
Xun Yu's eyes almost exploded with shock. He pointed at the guard with disbelief on his face and said tremblingly:
"His brain was broken after being beaten? You...you hit him on the head?"
"That's right! The first time the little one performs a stick duty, isn't it a slap on the head?"
Looking at the innocent and slightly surprised expression on the guard's face.
The civil and military ministers of the Manchu Dynasty finally understood that Gao Yi wanted to kill Cheng Yu in order to scare the monkeys.
obviously! They are those monkeys!
Gao Yi glanced at the surprised expressions of the ministers, civil and military officials, and smiled slightly with satisfaction.
A gentleman's revenge is never too late!
Gao Yi takes revenge from morning to night.
At that time, Cao Cao and Lu Bu fought for Yanzhou and launched the protracted Battle of Yanzhou.
Cao Jun, who was famous for being short of food, was still unable to avoid the situation of food shortage.
So, Cheng Yu proposed a poisonous plan to Cao Cao to feed on human flesh, and where did this human flesh come from?
Naturally, they were civilians and prisoners of the Lu army.
Gao Yi is not a holy mother.
He didn't bother to care about those unlucky people.
But Gao Yi could not turn a blind eye to those captured by the Lu army.
After all, those prisoners of the Lu Army were all Pao Ze who had fought side by side with Gao Yi.
Although he is righteous, he is not a good person!
But that doesn't mean he's not human.
If this revenge is not avenged, what will he have to face to see the soldiers who are still guarding the rear for him in Xuzhou.
Even if Cheng Yu didn't stand out today and was hit in the head by a guard with a stick, there would be a series of crimes and accidents waiting for him.
Death is inevitable.
"Just now I saw Mr. Cheng looking like the wind was blowing, the water was cold, and the heroic man was gone and never returned. I was still sighing at his arrogance as a scholar."
"Who would have thought... Master Cheng would actually just leave and never return!"
At this point, Gao Yi's expression suddenly changed and he accused the guard:
"Have you never eaten pork, or seen a pig run away? As the saying goes: you don't expose your shortcomings when you scold someone, and you don't slap people in the face when you hit them."
"You...hey! How do you guys do things?"
"Be careful next time! Don't continue to swing melon seeds at people's heads...this time! Hey! I will spare you for now. If there is a next time, I will cut off your heads."
"Why are you still standing there? Hurry and find a good coffin and beat someone for Cheng to collect the body... Remember, the coffin board must be made of high-quality golden nanmu."
Looking at Gao Yi with a face full of hypocrisy.
Although the civil and military officials in the Manchu Dynasty were a little shameless, they could not help but breathe a sigh of relief.
He thought to himself: Fortunately, Gao Thief's conscience is still intact, and he still knows how to take the initiative to find a good coffin to collect Cheng Yu's body.
Just as the guard was about to take the order and leave.
Gao Yi suddenly stopped the man again and ordered:
"That's right! When you collect Mr. Cheng's body, remember to stop by my kennel and feed the dozens of hounds I raise. I have been so focused on fighting these days that I have actually forgotten to feed them."
"Remember to have fresh meat, preferably freshly slaughtered today, dripping with blood. Their mouths are quite tricky, so this is the best thing to eat."
