Daming Super Dimension Company, President Zhu Yuanzhang!

Chapter 137 Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty’s troubles!

"Your Majesty, Mr. Yan would like to see you."

A request for instructions came from outside the palace. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty looked irritated and replied impatiently, "No!"

Liu Bang asked confused, "What are you so unhappy about?"

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty had no choice but to explain, "I want to conquer the Xiongnu, but Yan An and others always persuade me to make peace and think that we should not continue the attack."

"The Huns bullied my people and took away my territory. How could I, a big man, tolerate this and send the princess over for marriage?"

The more he said the last sentence, the more annoyed he became, and Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was too lazy to go out and scold Yan An.

"Giving a princess to the Huns! How courageous! How dare I, a majestic man, have to succumb to the Huns!" Liu Bang became angry instantly. He wanted to kill the Huns when he thought of them.

Xiao Ran coughed lightly, "Taizu, the marriage started with you."

The atmosphere was momentarily awkward, and Liu Bang also thought of the Siege of Baideng.

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty subconsciously changed the subject, "When Zixu gets well, I will send troops to destroy the Xiongnu."

"The Huns should indeed be killed." Liu Bang nodded in agreement.

But another voice came from outside, "Your Majesty, the prince wants to see you."

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty looked slightly happy and hurriedly asked people to enter the palace.

Soon a tall and thin boy walked into the hall. He calculated the year number and found that Liu Ju, the eldest son of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty Liu Che, was eleven years old this year.

Having been established as a prince at the age of seven, Liu Zheng had long been accustomed to various scenes. When he saw several people in the palace, he was stunned and immediately saluted.

"I have met my father, my mother, and my general Wei."

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty waved, "Come and pay homage to Taizu."

Liu Zheng was confused, but he respectfully paid his respects, "Liu Zheng pays homage to Taizu."

"Looking at the aura of this child, he should be the prince." At a glance, Liu Bang could see that Liu Zhi and Liu Ying were somewhat similar, but there was a sharp look between their eyebrows.

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty smiled and replied, "He is my eldest son. He has been a prince since he was seven years old. I arranged a tutor for him a few days ago."

Liu Bang said, "Come here and let me take a look."

Pretending to be calm, he walked up to Liu Bang. Liu Zhi had seen the portrait of Taizu on cloth, but it was too magical to see it with his own eyes.

"What did Taifu teach you?" Liu Bang began to take a test.

Liu Ju's answers were logical and some of his words resonated with Liu Bang.

Praising happily, Liu Bang was very satisfied with Liu Zhi's temperament, "Good, good! Very good. I think I will be a wise king in the future."

Kind and generous, with a cautious temperament, Liu Ju was well educated.

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty hesitated to speak, but finally remained silent. He thought that Liu Zhi was not as decisive as him in killing.

"He will not be emperor in the future."

Xiao Ran suddenly spoke up.

Everyone present gathered their gazes, and Liu Bang was the most curious, "Is there a better choice? Or was there an accident?"

Hearing this, Liu Zhi couldn't help but feel nervous. He looked at Xiao Ran and also wanted to know the reason.

"suicide."

"How could a dignified prince commit suicide!" Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty couldn't believe it.

Even if his love for Liu Zhi was not as good as before, he never thought of deposing the prince.

It would be absurd for a prince to commit suicide.

Xiao Ran looked at Emperor Wu of Han Dynasty and was not in a hurry to explain the reason.

"You mean, he forced the child to commit suicide?" Liu Bang frowned and asked hesitantly.

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was shocked and hurriedly expressed that he had been wronged, "I have high hopes for Liu Ju and will never force him to commit suicide."

Xiao Ran said: "You do have expectations for him, but you think he is not like you, and you gradually no longer love him."

"Until the witchcraft case happened, you believed it to be true and forced the prince to raise an army. After the defeat, you committed suicide."

"The queen also committed suicide and followed her away."

In ancient times, people would change their expressions upon hearing about witchcraft. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty had an ugly look on his face.

Wei Zifu and Wei Qing hurriedly knelt down, "Your Majesty, the prince will never harm you!"

"The prince did not harm you." Xiao Ran affirmed.

But Liu Bang grasped the key point, "The prince has no intention of harming others, that is, he was framed. Please explain in detail."

Xiao Ran said in a deep voice: "The matter starts with Jiang Chong, who was reused by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty."

"Jiang Chong! What does this matter have to do with him?" Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty raised his voice in shock.

"Jiang Chong is not afraid of the powerful and has never acted outside the rules. How could he be involved in the witchcraft case?"

Liu Bang asked: "Why do you praise him?"

"Jiang Chong reported that Prince Liu Dan of King Zhao Liu Pengzu had committed adultery with his sisters in the harem, so I summoned him."

"He asked himself to be envoy to the Huns, and I appointed him as the envoy. After returning from the mission to the Huns, he was appointed as the envoy of Zhizhi Xiuzi, supervising the arrest of thieves in Sanfu territory, and supervising the excessive behavior of the nobles."

"Jiang Chong reported for impeachment one by one, and also petitioned to confiscate the carriages and horses of these people and send them to the northern military camp to standby to fight against the Huns. His actions earned the court tens of millions of dollars in total."

"Jiang Chong is loyal and upright, and he does not obey the law, so I re-employed him."

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty explained Jiang Chong's actions in detail, but in the end he couldn't help but said, "There is no way Jiang Chong could murder the prince!"

"Jiang Chong doesn't seem like a villain. Why did he murder the prince?" At this time, even Liu Bang was confused.

Liu Ju thought for a long time and said helplessly, "I have never offended Jiang Chong."

Xiao Ran smiled and said: "It's not necessarily that you have offended him, it's probably that he thinks he has offended you."

"Jiang Chong met the prince's retainers riding a chariot and horse on the road. Jiang Chong caught him and handed him over to the officials. When the prince learned about it, he sent someone to plead with Jiang Chong, but Jiang Chong still reported it to Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty."

"Jiang Chong thinks he has offended you, so of course he will be afraid that you will become emperor."

Liu Ju was shocked, "If a retainer makes a mistake, even if his plea for mercy is unsuccessful, I will not resent others, let alone someone whom my father is using."

Of course Xiao Ran knew that he would not attack Jiang Chong because of this, but unfortunately Jiang Chong didn't think so.

"Later, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty fell ill in Ganquan Palace. Jiang Chong was worried that Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty would be killed by Liu Zhi after his death. The report said that Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty's illness was caused by witchcraft, so Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty asked Jiang Chong to be responsible for examining the matter."

"Jiang Chong ordered Hu wizards to dig everywhere, search for puppets buried underground, and arrest people who prayed at night and claimed to be able to see ghosts. He also had people pour blood on some places to fake prayer scenes, and arrested and examined those who prayed at night. The accused suspects were subjected to the criminal law of burning with iron pincers to force confessions."

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was in his prime, and he thought he was acting calmly, but he couldn't stand listening to it at this moment.

"Why would I trust such a ridiculous reason?"

"At that time, you were old and suddenly fell ill, so you trusted Jiang Chong." Xiao Ran gave the answer.

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was silent.

It was Liu Bang who urged, "Go on."

Xiao Ran slowly continued: "This has caused people to falsely accuse each other, and officials at all levels have frequently convicted people of crimes of treason and immorality, implicating tens of thousands of people, but no one dares to defend the wronged."

"Jiang Chong figured out the intentions of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, so he slandered the palace and said that there was evil in the palace. He started with the concubines in the harem that the emperor paid little attention to, and finally implicated the queen, and unearthed a paulownia wood man in the palace of the prince."

Wei Zifu and Liu Ju's expressions changed slightly.

"Has the prince proven his innocence?" Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty asked.

Xiao Ran sighed, "The prince was frightened and unable to prove his innocence. He captured Jiang Chong and beheaded him in person."

"The prince believed that Jiang Chong was plotting against Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty and himself, so he ordered those barbarians to be burned alive in Shanglin Garden." Liu Ju was caught off guard by this incident, which caused him to panic and push the matter to an irreversible point.

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty glared at Liu Zhi with hatred, "If you were smarter and plead guilty, you wouldn't be forced to commit suicide!"

Liu Ju lowered his head and was scolded.

"The prince has experienced too few storms and needs experience." Liu Bang lamented.

Xiao Ran smiled, and then said, "The prince knew that he had caused a big disaster, so he ordered to mobilize troops and horses to defend himself. After hearing the report, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty ordered Prime Minister Liu Quyou to mobilize troops to quell the chaos. So he and the prince fought in Chang'an City. "

"Later, the prince was defeated and fled. He was rounded up by the Han army in Quanjiu, Hu County, east of Chang'an. He hung himself from a beam."

"Empress Wei was guilty of conspiracy, and the imperial censor and Prime Minister Sizhi were both convicted of dereliction of duty because they were Jiang Chong's superiors. As a result, the former committed suicide and the latter was beheaded. Sima Qian's good friend Ren An was in charge of the Northern Army. He After receiving the prince's order, he closed the camp and refused to send troops. He was regarded as unclear about the enemy's situation and was waiting and watching, and was sentenced to death. "

"This is the whole story of the witchcraft case."

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was speechless, "Just because Jiang Chong was worried about being killed, he killed so many people."

Xiao Ran nodded, "Tens of thousands of people died in the witchcraft case, and most of them were innocent people. Later, you learned the truth and wrote a self-incriminating edict."

"Of course Jiang Chong was not the only one involved in the witchcraft case, there were many officials involved."

After learning that everything was slandered, Wei Zifu and Wei Qing finally relaxed.

Wei Qing asked curiously, "Where was I then?"

"When the witchcraft case occurred, General Wei had already died of illness."

The doubts in Wei Zifu's mind were solved. If Wei Qing was still there, Prince Liu Ju would not be defeated miserably.

"Jiang Chong and others deserve to die! I'm going to chop off his head now!" Thinking that he had been deceived by Jiang Chong, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was furious, strode out of the palace, and wanted to summon Jiang Chong immediately to kill him.

Liu Bang said helplessly: "You all get up."

The three people who had been kneeling and did not dare to get up helped each other to stand up.

"All the prince's line died, who became the emperor later?" Liu Bang couldn't help but ask.

He wanted to know whether the later emperors continued the Han Dynasty.

"After the death of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, he established his youngest son Liu Fuling as Emperor Zhao of the Han Dynasty. However, the emperor changed again in just thirteen years."

Xiao Ran paused for a moment, "The prince's grandson Liu Xun was Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty."

"After the witchcraft case, the prince still has heirs?" Liu Bang was surprised.

Without finding out the truth, the subsequent development of the witchcraft case was equivalent to the prince's rebellion, and even the queen committed suicide.

Of course, the heirs of Prince Liu Zhi cannot be let go.

Xiao Ran answered their questions, "At that time, the witchcraft case was over, and the prince's only surviving grandson was still imprisoned in Chang'an Prison. He was able to grow up safely under the protection of Bingji, who was in charge of prison."

"It's a pity that the Wei family was exterminated."

Wei Zifu smiled bitterly, "When it comes to witchcraft, the Wei family and the prince are one, and there is no way they can escape it no matter what."

Unexpectedly, after his death, his family would be gone. Wei Qing didn't know what to say for a while.

Liu Bang patted Liu Ju on the shoulder, "As the prince, you must stay calm at all times."

"Thank you Taizu for your guidance." Liu Ju kowtowed solemnly.

Xiao Ran felt a little hungry after talking for a long time, so he stood up and said, "I'll go back first and pick you up in two days to visit Huo Qubing."

……

Jimo ancient city.

in the hospital.

Xiao Ran came with Emperor Wu of Han and Wei Qing.

"Later generations are really amazing." Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty looked around, everything was novel.

He and Wei Qing resisted their urge to step forward to check and followed closely behind Xiao Ran.

Huo Qubing has been transferred to the general ward.

When she opened the ward door, the nurse was changing Huo Qubing's medicine. When she saw Xiao Ran coming, she reminded him in a serious tone.

"The patient is seriously injured and needs someone to take care of him. As family members, you must take care of him."

Xiao Ran smiled sheepishly, "I have arranged for a nurse to come over in the afternoon."

"Wound infection is no joke, you must be careful and careful." The nurse left the ward after instructing.

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty Liu Che and Wei Qing did not dare to speak.

Huo Qubing laughed out loud, "Your Majesty, uncle, why are you here?"

"Let's take a look at you. You kid always goes out to fight yourself on the battlefield. If you hadn't met Mr. Xiao, I'm afraid you would have died of illness this time." Wei Qing scolded Huo Qubing angrily. They have fought side by side for many years and have a deep relationship. .

Huo Qubing shrugged helplessly, "The sword has no eyes on the battlefield. How can I escape as a general?"

Liu Che sighed, "You have to take good care of yourself. I'm still waiting for you to go back and help fight the Huns."

"Understood, your majesty, don't worry, when I go back I will beat the Xiongnu to the point where they will kneel down when they see the Han army!" Huo Qubing smiled and said very confidently.

The youthful nature is revealed at this moment.

Xiao Ran sighed in his heart, "General Wei, you and Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty go for a physical examination. I will guard you here."

The main reason was to give Wei Qing a physical examination, so he simply brought Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty with him.

After all, Wei Qing had been on the battlefield for many years and died of illness later on.

Liu Che is still in his prime and may not have any physical problems.

Huo Qubing and Xiao Ran were soon left in the ward.

Huo Qubing looked at the TV in the ward curiously, "I saw this thing when I woke up. What can I do?"

He stood up and turned on the TV. Xiao Ran introduced him, "This is a TV. You can watch scenes shot by others."

"It's amazing. What kind of show is there?" Huo Qubing stared at the TV, surprised that the people on the TV could move, but his ability to accept it was very strong.

Xiao Ran smiled and said: "A lot, and there are also dramas about you."

"About me?" Huo Qubing was a little surprised.

"Many people will worship you in future generations, and countless people will know your deeds."

"You are the only young general in history who has achieved the glory of sealing the wolf as his master."

What Xiao Ran said was not exaggerated in the slightest.

Huo Qubing showed a shy smile, "I didn't expect that I would be able to leave a mark in history, but I am seriously ill this time. If there is no Time and Space Company, I may not be able to survive."

"You did die young from this serious illness."

After Xiao Ran finished speaking, he remembered what someone had done online before, so he took out a piece of chocolate and handed it to Huo Qubing.

"Try this."

Huo Qubing took it and took a bite, "It's a bit bitter and a bit strange."

"These are chocolates, candies made by foreigners. If you like them, I'll buy more and send them over."

Xiao Ran was fortunate that Huo Qubing could eat normally after a few days, otherwise the chocolate would have to wait until next time to be given to him.

"Thank you very much. I'll go back and find something to give you." Huo Qubing finished the chocolate in a few seconds and began to think of a return gift.

The ward door was pushed open again, and Liu Che and Wei Qing's physical examinations were completed.
