Uncle Nine: I became Master Qianhe, and my fame resounded throughout the Daoist sect.

Chapter 706 To Live or to Die

Cao Mao in the picture looks terrified and helpless. He is completely intimidated by the man's aura and doesn't dare to utter a sound.

At this critical moment, someone finally stepped forward, his voice loud and firm: "We unanimously recommend the General as the Duke of Jin!"

This shout seemed to ignite the entire room, and soon the other ministers echoed it, expressing their support in unison.

They were all Sima Zhao's cronies.

They only obey Sima Zhao's orders.

Sima Zhao ordered them to eat excrement, and they ate excrement.

Seeing this sudden turn of events enraged Cao Cao.

He cursed inwardly, "These people dare to be even more presumptuous than me! I haven't even become the Duke of Wei yet, and they dare to recommend others!"

However, faced with this overwhelming public pressure, Cao Mao chose to remain silent.

He did not want to be granted the title of Duke of Jin.

He knew that if he were granted the title of Duke of Jin, he would become the next Cao Cao.

Then he will definitely be forced to step down.

This is what he doesn't want to see.

Cao Mao sat on the dragon throne, saying nothing, his helpless gaze sweeping over the ministers below.

He hoped these ministers could help him.

But no.

.............................

Upon seeing this, the general slowly stood up, his expression somewhat indifferent, as if he had expected all of this.

He said calmly, "My father and I have rendered meritorious service to the Great Wei, and now that we have been recommended as Dukes of Jin, what is wrong with that?"

Upon hearing this, Cao Mao trembled slightly. His lips moved as if he wanted to say something, but in the end, he did not utter a word.

After a long pause, he replied tremblingly, "How could I dare disobey the General's command..."

The general's lips curled up slightly, revealing a barely perceptible smile.

Without saying another word, he turned and left the main hall, leaving Cao Mao alone there, his heart filled with anger and helplessness.

Cao Cao was getting a headache from reading this.

"Could this be the karmic retribution for my treatment of Liu Xie?"

Cao Cao sighed, thinking to himself.

After all, he knew exactly how he had bullied Liu Xie.

The scene shifts to the rear hall.

Cao Mao, dressed in a dragon robe, stood alone in the empty hall. His face was as pale as paper, and his eyes revealed endless sorrow and resentment.

He looked at the ministers before him and muttered to himself, "Sima Zhao's intentions are obvious to everyone! How dare he humiliate me like this? I am the Emperor of Great Wei, and he dares to order me around like this..."

At this point, Cao Mao could no longer control his emotions, and tears welled up in his eyes like a burst dam.

But he was the emperor, and he did not cry. He wiped away his tears and continued, choking back sobs, "He treated me like his servant. How could I endure such humiliation?"

Several ministers cried out, "Your Majesty, please calm down! Be careful, there may be eavesdroppers in the palace..."

Cao Mao wiped away his tears, walked to the side, and took his armor.

This armor is the one Cao Cao wore back then.

......................

Cao Cao saw the armor at that moment and sighed inwardly.

"I am not afraid. My mind is made up. My dear minister, assist me in going to punish the traitor!"

"Your Majesty must not... All power is in Sima's hands, and Your Majesty has no personal guards. If you act rashly, I'm afraid..."

After the minister finished speaking, Cao Mao, holding his sword, shouted: "This is intolerable! My mind is made up, what do I have to fear in death?!"

After saying that, he chopped off the corner of the table, then took the armor and walked out.

The ministers were frightened and shouted, "We're going to report this!"

"Yes, otherwise the whole family would have been wiped out."

No sooner had he finished speaking than a middle-aged man shouted, "Shut up! A subject's sorrow is a subject's shame; a subject's shame is a subject's death. How can you have disloyal intentions?"

However, the minister ignored all of this and turned away without hesitation.

Witnessing this scene, Cao Cao closed his eyes helplessly. He knew very well that things had reached a point of no return.

Sure enough, the scene in the video left everyone speechless.

Cao Mao stood atop his carriage, sword in hand, armor clad, looking resolute, clearly intending to personally punish those treacherous officials.

"I am the Emperor of Great Wei. Do you intend to rebel?" Cao Mao's voice echoed through the streets, filled with boundless majesty and anger.

The soldiers, who had been so aggressive, were all taken aback by the roar and hesitated to make a move.
