When he was a child, Zhan'er's martial arts skills were already comparable to those of the Imperial Guards around him. Wouldn't it have been easy for him to deal with the three of them? But he knew to hold back back then.
But those three troublemakers never knew how to restrain themselves. Even though they were no match for the other party, they still insisted on provoking them. They really deserved to be taught a lesson!
Xuanyuan Peng raised his eyes and glanced at Zong Jiu: "Since the three of them like fighting so much, make them kneel in the main hall of Dongchu! They are not allowed to get up without my order!"
Zong Jiu was stunned for a moment, wanting to plead for the three, but after being glared at by Xuan Yuanpeng, he didn't dare to speak and bowed as he retreated.

"..." The three of them immediately deflated.
With the proper etiquette between ruler and subject?
Which official would dare to fight outside the main hall of the Eastern Chu Kingdom?
Isn't this just asking to be stripped of his title and dismissed from office?
So, does Father Emperor intend to demote them to commoners?
Where can they go to reason with this? They have no choice but to kneel down!
