Yan Heng was deeply disappointed and said, "But, General, Gou Chun has indeed allowed his soldiers to seize the people's grain. Local nobles tried to come to Yun City to complain but were killed by Gou Chun, who fabricated charges against them. Although the Zhao Family Army has not invaded the border, it is already littered with bones. If the General doesn't punish Gou Chun severely, Yan State might descend into chaos even before the Zhao Family Army arrives."
"How dare you!" Gou Xi was furious, "With His Majesty present here, how could Yan State fall into chaos? Enough with your scaremongering."
Yan Heng wanted to persuade further, but a consultant beside him quickly pulled him back and said to Gou Xi, "General, Mr. Yan is drunk and speaking nonsense. I'll take him away right now."
With that, he forcefully dragged him away.
Outside the courtyard, Yan Heng shook off his hand with all his might, still seething with anger, "Why did you drag me away? Was anything I said wrong?"
