My father is Emperor Wu of Han, how can I be different from him?

Chapter 194 The Emperor Wants You to Suffer

Where [Embroidered Clothes] appear, you always need to be cautious, cautious, and cautious again.

Huo Qubing asked questions that no one dared to ask, and dispelled their concerns. The "discussion" in the hall then began.

Lieutenant Li Gan said: "It is only to disrupt the reporting of the money. I don't think it is a big crime. You can order him to make up for it."

It was obvious that he favored the Prince's Palace.

Zhang Qian, the Grand Chancellor, said: "He is guilty and can be punished appropriately."

He gave his advice on how to deal with the problem.

Kong Jin, the Minister of Agriculture, said: "It has not been long since the implementation of the tax, and some people in the local area have also obstructed it. Maybe Yi Zong was not careful at the moment?"

There was some hesitation in his words.

The Zongzheng who followed closely behind was even more hesitant. When the Taichang Zhou Zhongju spoke, he simply pointed out: "Everyone! Is Yi Zong's crime to disrupt the reporting of the money? It is a violation of the imperial edict!"

Shaofu Zhao Yu even said: "Your Highness, I think that Yi Zong's actions should be punished by death!"

Yes.

To disobey the emperor's edict, the penalty is death!
Upon hearing this, Liu Ju nodded without comment and asked other ministers, "What do you think?"

The voice just fell.

A man stepped out from the right and said, "Your Highness, I think Yi Zong, who broke the law knowingly, should be executed!"

After Li Guangli finished speaking, the other officials in the hall were slightly agitated. After a while, except for a few people, the officials who stayed in Chang'an came out at the same time and bowed, saying, "Your Highness, I second the motion."

"We all second this motion!"

At this moment, looking at the rows of important ministers standing out in the hall, Liu Ju no longer had the previous joy and leisure.

His face was calm.

But my heart felt icy cold and the soft couch beneath me felt like it was being pricked by needles!
Liu Ju had not yet ascended the throne, but he had already experienced a forced abdication. This was truly cause for celebration...

"You all second the motion?" When the hall was silent, the man said again: "You all second the motion, but I don't agree!"

Huo Qubing turned around and looked around with a cold gaze: "Yi Zong disrupted the reporting of the money, how did he disrupt it? How much did he disrupt? He violated the imperial edict of Your Majesty, when did he violate it? Why did he violate it?"

"Do you know?"

do not know.

The ministers who insisted on killing Yi Zong knew nothing about the problem of the Grand Marshal, but they did not need to know.

When the Chief Justice revealed who had established Yi Zong's crime - it was His Majesty; and what crime - it was disobeying His Majesty's edict.

Then.

During this sensitive period when the emperor was on tour to the east and the crown prince was regulating the country, in the court where the emperor had already sorted out the affairs and his words were law, there would be only one voice - kill!

The Crown Prince is very powerful, at least he has influenced several of the Nine Ministers. The Marquis of Champion is very powerful, and he has always been very powerful, always able to say things that no one else dares to say.

and so.

The ministers were silent.

"In this case, the Yi Zong case will be put on hold for the time being until the details are clarified. Let's adjourn the court." Liu Ju said this and stood up and left.

Young Eunuch Wei shouted at the right moment: "Dismiss the court~"

Outside the Xuanshi Hall.

The emperor and his ministers left the Weiyang Palace together. Liu Ju went through the East Palace and returned to the Crown Prince's Palace, while the ministers went through the North Palace and returned to their respective residences.

During this period, several familiar ministers came to Liu Ju, but he politely declined them one by one, thinking that the more you talk, the more mistakes you will make before you understand the situation clearly.

On the way back to the palace.

He sent people to do a few things, and when they returned to the Prince's Palace, the people who went to investigate Yi Zong had not returned yet, but Zhuang Qingzhai had already arrived.

"teacher."

Liu Ju bowed and without further greeting recounted the matters that had taken place in the court.

"Yishuo's younger brother?" After hearing the description, Zhuang Qingzhai, who was leaning on the cane, frowned and looked heavy, "This matter is difficult!"

"No matter how the Right Internal History Yi Zong sabotages the revelation, from personal feelings and the Crown Prince's palace, Your Highness must give a hand even if he does not want to save them, otherwise people's hearts will be scattered, and in the future..."

Zhuang Qingzhai knocked on the ground and looked at Liu Ju: "But Your Highness is now the regent. From the perspective of fairness and the court, if Yi Zong's crime is true, let alone saving him, even touching him will be a big trouble!"

Hear the words.

Liu Ju, who was standing on the observation platform outside the palace, was silent for a while, and then said calmly: "This is exactly what my father wants me to choose."

To save or not to save?

This is a problem and also a test.

The emperor set up a trap for the prince while he was away on tour. He wanted to see what the crown prince could do.

Use the court that he has personally put in order and his own authority as a king and father to put pressure on the prince!
It seems like a simple multiple-choice question, but how you choose and what you do after choosing will have subtle and fatal impacts.

"As the crown prince, for the sake of the future, you cannot be ruthless and ungrateful, nor can you bend the law for personal gain." Zhuang Qingzhai said in a low voice with a worried look on his face.

"After today, I'm afraid the entire court will be watching Your Highness. This is the first time you've handled state affairs on your own. If you're not careful, you'll be seen as incompetent and willful."

"That's terrible..."

Before he sits on the throne, if the crown prince's abilities are belittled and his reputation is ruined, then he's basically finished.

Was this situation tormenting for Liu Ju?

torment!

But this is exactly what the emperor wants to see!

If jade is not cut and polished, it will not become a useful object. What is cutting and polishing? Now is the time!

……

Bowang Garden.

In a small courtyard on the east side of the Medical Center, there were people kneeling on the ground, both men and women, old and young, crying loudly.

"Aunt, please save my father!"

Yi Shuo looked at his nephew who kept kowtowing, then looked at the women and children wailing in the yard, his face full of disappointment.

"How many times have I said this, how many times have I said this!" Yi Shuo said anxiously and angrily: "Tell him to kill less, kill less!"

"Have you ever heard of me!?"

"Now that you're in jail, you come to me for help? I...I..."

Seeing that his aunt was so angry that she was about to pass out, the man kneeling on the ground hurriedly supported her and cried, "If that were the case, I would not dare to come to beg you, aunt, but this time my father's punishment was not too harsh."

"It was about the corruption case. My father thought it would disturb the people, so he arrested several officials who were responsible."

"Who would have thought that His Majesty would be furious when he found out and send my father to the Supreme Court!"

Before Yi Zong got into trouble, he was on duty in the Gyeonggi region. It was not until after the court meeting today that his children learned that their head of the family was imprisoned.

After finding out the incident.

They panicked instantly, and when they were at a loss, they soon realized that only one person could save the head of the family.

"Aunt, the Crown Prince is in charge now, and you are his guest. I am incompetent, and I have no choice but to ask you for help."

The man knelt down again and said in a sad voice, "Aunt, please save my father!"

Ugh!
Seeing this, Yi Shuo's body couldn't stop shaking and her face turned pale with anger, but after all, she couldn't just stand by and watch someone die.

That's her own brother.

Yi Shuo said sadly, "...just wait."

The carriage sped away from Bowang Garden, but only halfway through the journey did Yi Shuo, who had been in a state of panic in the carriage, calm down a little.

After hesitating for a moment, he ordered the driver: "Don't go to the Crown Prince's Palace, go... to the Champion Marquis's Mansion."
