"Lord Fang, what are you doing?"
"Do not compete with the commoners for bravado. We are loyal, and our hearts are open; how can this traitor destroy us with a few words?"
"It is merely to anger us and divert our attention."
As they spoke, several advisors were furious, pointing fingers at Chen Yuan, spitting vehemently, "Your Majesty, this traitor is out of control in the court, not only refusing to confess his crimes but also insulting us, blatantly ignoring Your Majesty's authority and disturbing the court. We request that Your Majesty issue a decree to behead this traitor for public display."
"We request Your Majesty to issue a decree!"
Now, more people were pleading, and the civil servants could not sit still, as the words of this border general from Shu were incisive; they could not tolerate it. They disliked such a person, whose sharpness was too great, and keeping such a person was of no benefit to them.
