The Minister of War, Cao Ge, also stepped forward and said, "Yes, Your Majesty, the court may have delayed in gathering supplies, but as for this matter, Zhao Zun has deceived the court, dared to hold military power arrogantly, and deserves punishment! If Your Majesty does not strictly punish such traitors, I fear that even if Cao Xiong arrives at Beiguan, he will not be able to smoothly take over military command."
As soon as Cao Ge spoke, the officials below unanimously agreed.
Cao Xiong is Cao Ge's younger brother. Cao Ge has always strongly recommended Cao Xiong in front of Emperor Jing; he controls the Ministry of War, and with both East Gate and South Pass already in the hands of others, he naturally hopes his brother can also seize control of Beiguan.
If they can produce two high-ranking officials in their family, both trusted confidants of Emperor Jing, the Cao Family will surely become a prestigious and influential name in the Capital City.
