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

Chapter 93 The Prince is here to beg for mercy

Under the palace gate.

Just when the scholar thought the prince was just asking, unexpectedly, the prince asked again: "Left Secretary, can you walk slower?"

Zuo Nei Shi Xian Xuan was stunned for a moment, and asked doubtfully, "What does Your Highness mean?"

"Ugh."

Liu Ju smiled bitterly and admitted openly, "Zhang Tang's son is a guest of the Crown Prince's Palace. Everyone knows this. Now that Zhang He has come to ask for help, I am in a dilemma."

"This is not..."

Liu Ju raised his chin towards the harem and said, "I was just about to go and beg for mercy, what do you think?"

Xian Xuan was embarrassed when he heard this. The prince wanted to delay time to save Zhang Tang, but he was ordered to kill Zhang Tang...

After hesitating for a while, Xian Xuan leaned forward, lowered his head and whispered: "It is difficult to disobey the emperor's order. I will take a detour on the way. As for the rest..."

"Thank you!"

Without waiting for the other party to finish speaking, Liu Ju bowed.

"I dare not, I dare not." Xian Xuan quickly waved his hand, looked back, and left with his subordinates.

Zuo Nei Shi's move has already put him under a lot of pressure.

and.

The emperor sent an envoy to "urge Zhang Tang to die". The envoy was not randomly selected. The left internal historian Xian Xuan also had a grudge against Zhang Tang!
Under pressure, he had to suppress his desire for revenge. All because...

The sponsor of Xianxuan was Wei Qing.

It was precisely because of this relationship that Liu Ju opened his mouth. Otherwise, why would he come to the North Palace Gate to block people? Wouldn't it be closer to enter Weiyang Palace directly from the East Palace Gate?

The reason why we have to do this is because

It's all just to show the "action" of saving.

Greenhouse Palace.

When Liu Ju came in, the emperor was painting on a piece of white paper about ten feet wide. When he heard the approaching footsteps, he didn't even raise his head.

"I have met my father."

Liu Che stared at the tip of the pen and said calmly, "The prince has grown up and become smarter. He has been very busy these days."

The Emperor father is playing his tricks again, hitting in a roundabout way.

He can play.

As a son, you can't play around. Liu Ju didn't intend to hide his true feelings. He suddenly raised his voice and said loudly, "Reply to Father!"

"I stopped you, Master, because I miss the old times, just like my father and Ji An. We both support the marriage. Di Shan dies, but Ji An lives."

"Father, the Emperor does not want to kill Ji An, and I, your son, do not want Master to die either!"

"The heart of a child is pure, and heaven can bear witness to it!"

Say it.

Liu Ju bowed and said nothing more.

At this moment, there were three people in the hall: the emperor who was painting, the prince who was paying respects, and the eunuch who was standing beside the imperial desk.

When Liu Ju came in earlier, the old eunuch looked at the emperor with his eyes and nose, and when the emperor spoke indifferently, he did not move at all.

After Liu finished speaking his heartfelt words, the old eunuch moved.

Because he saw that when the prince finished speaking, His Majesty's hand paused slightly, leaving a black ink stain on the white paper...

"Hey!"

"Who is so blind that didn't you see His Highness coming in?" The eunuch was displeased and shouted outside, "Quick, bring the brocade couch over here."

After he interrupted me like this.

The emperor's cold expression softened a little, he put down his brush, walked down the stairs, and said to Liu Ju: "That old fellow Ji An is a little stubborn, but his crime does not deserve death."

"It's Master..."

"What Shaofu? He is the prime minister of the imperial court!"

Liu Ju did not argue, but sat down beside the imperial desk and said seriously, "Yes, Prime Minister, but before he became Prime Minister, he was my son's tutor. I can't just ignore him, can I?"

"Humph!"

The emperor snorted coldly.

With his hands behind his back, he walked over from behind the imperial desk and asked, "So you pushed the prime minister off the carriage, causing him to fall unconscious?"

"Where is it?"

Liu Ju looked embarrassed and said, "It was the Prime Minister who fell down..." He swallowed the rest of the muttering and only complained in his heart.

The emperor stopped playing dumb with his son and asked directly, "Why are you here again now?"

"Go back to Father."

Liu Ju once again openly admitted, "Zhang Tang's son is a guest of my family. He begged me so much that I couldn't bear it and had to go."

Hearing this, the emperor's face turned cold, "Do you want to plead for Zhang Tang?"

"think."

"No!" the emperor said flatly.

"Yes!" Liu Ju responded, stood up, and left a sentence: Then I will take my leave.

Then, he just left, left...

Never looking back.

Liu Che looked at his leaving back, and the next word of reprimand was about to come out of his mouth, but at this moment, it was blocked in his chest!

Eunuch Ling was also a little confused. What was going on?
The prince is leaving now?

Liu Che put one hand behind his back and pointed outside the palace with the other. He opened his mouth several times to speak, but was unable to utter a word. It was the eunuch who had good foresight and asked for His Majesty:

"The prince is here to beg for mercy?"

On the surface, yes.

But in practice, it seems not.

The emperor let out a breath of resentment, walked two steps in the hall with his hands behind his back, and suddenly ordered the eunuch, "Go and see where the rebellious son has gone!"

"Eh."

Although the eunuch did not understand the meaning of the order, he did not need to understand it, as long as he could execute it.

He walked out quickly, and after a while, he walked in quickly again and reported: "Your Majesty, the Crown Prince drove north and did not return to the Crown Prince's Palace. It should be..."

The words were not finished.

The emperor raised his eyebrows, "He is going to Zhang Tang's residence?"

"Your Majesty, it should be."

"Haha, hahahaha!" The emperor suddenly raised his head and laughed. After laughing, his eyes suddenly burst into brilliance, "Did you see that?!"

"This is my son, Liu Che!"

"This is my son, Liu Che!"

In the greenhouse hall, for a moment, only the emperor's voice echoed.

Relieved and happy...

The eunuch restrained himself and said with an apologetic smile, "I am a stupid servant and do not understand your majesty's deep meaning, but I think that the Crown Prince is indeed the best!
The emperor glanced at him and scolded him with a smile: "What do you know, eunuch? The prince came to me to beg for mercy and accepted Zhang He's loyalty."

"You are rushing to Zhang Tang's residence again. Aren't you thinking about those students and officials after Zhang Tang's death?"

"Humph."

Liu Che half admired and half sneered, "I am busy killing people, and he is also busy, busy being a good person and collecting benefits everywhere!"

Hiss. With this complicated expression, the eunuch couldn't tell whether His Majesty was really happy or really angry, so he only finished speaking: "Your Majesty, now..."

"Let him go!"

Liu Che looked disdainful, with his hands behind his back, a smile on his face again, "You are still not satisfied with having a great uncle, I like this ambition!"

The prerequisite for achieving great things is to have the desire to achieve great things.

Ambition.

He is not very old, but he has big ambitions, just like Liu Che in his youth. At an age when he couldn't even hold his urine, he already dared to wield a sword and shout for war against the Huns in the north.

After ascending the throne.

It was this ambition that allowed Liu Che to do what his fathers could not do...

Being the son of a strong man is so twisted. There is always the idea that it is better to have a son like a wolf than a son like a sheep. If you are weak, he will be unhappy and think that you are not like his father.

If you are strong, he will be satisfied and think you are teachable.

of course.

The premise of being strong is that you cannot be stronger than him. If you exceed the limit, another story will unfold.

Given Liu Ju's current small physique, it would take him a long time to become stronger than his father. At least in Liu Che's eyes, his son was still very young.

Therefore, 'fatherly love' is still increasing.

"Oh!"

A roar rang out from outside the greenhouse palace. "How dare you, Prince! It would have been fine if you had come to me to plead for mercy on Zhang Tang's matter, but you even dared to go to his house. What do you want to do?"

Hearing the angry voice, the eunuchs waiting outside the palace shrank their heads and moved back...

……

Zhang Mansion.

Zhang Tang's residence.

Since the Crown Prince hadn't even gotten comfortable in the Weiyang Palace and the Left Secretary of the Interior Xianxuan had been delaying time, the two men happened to run into each other when Liu Ju arrived at Zhang's house.

"Your Highness."

Xian Xuan stepped aside and said, "How about you go in first?" Now that they had arrived at Zhang's house, Xian Xuan's pressure was not so great.

"Thank you very much. I will host a banquet at the Crown Prince's Palace some other day and I will reward the Left Internal Secretary again."

Given the relationship between Xianxuan and Wei Qing, he was originally in the Prince's Palace, so Liu Ju did not shy away from speaking.

The two of them bowed to each other.

Subsequently.

Liu Ju took the lead and stepped into the gate of Zhang's mansion.

As soon as he came in, he heard low sobbing sounds from inside the mansion. There was nothing he could do. Although Xian Xuan didn't come in, they were all standing at the door, and the servants of the Zhang mansion had already seen them.

"Woooooo~"

"Woo~"

Liu Ju had a smooth journey. When he reached the back hall, he heard even louder crying sounds, mostly from women wiping their tears.

Look inside the hall again.

The two brothers Zhang He and Zhang Anshi sat on both sides with sad looks on their faces. Zhang Tang stood in the middle of the hall with his eyes closed. An old woman sat in the main seat.

Only after seeing Liu Ju come in did everyone react.

"Your Highness."

"I have met His Highness."

Zhang Tang's mother, who was sitting on the main seat, also stood up and saluted. Liu Ju said hurriedly, "You must not do this. I am ashamed and cannot stand it."

Unexpectedly.

Zhang's mother knocked on the table and insisted that a woman with red eyes next to her be helped up and bowed to Liu Ju.

"I heard from my grandson that Your Highness is willing to plead for my son. I am grateful for this gift. I will accept it."

talking.

She glanced at the crying women around her, her face solemn, her voice dry, "Alright, today's events were expected, stop making noise here!"

"Go back!"

The old woman's words were very effective in Zhang's house. In a short while, the crying sounds from both sides of the courtyard disappeared. The old woman also said: You guys talk.

Then he staggered away.

When only Zhang Tang, his son and Liu Ju were left in the hall, he cupped his hands again and said apologetically, "I am ashamed."

"Your Highness, your words are respectful."

Zhang Tang pulled the corner of his mouth and said in a bleak tone: "I guessed that this day would come, but I didn't expect..."

I just didn't expect it to come so soon and so cruelly!
As a person who can guess the emperor's intentions, how could Zhang Tang not notice when His Majesty allowed the three ministers to fight with each other?
Later, he called me into the palace and asked me alone about "leaking the imperial edict", and the hint became more obvious.

just.

Zhang Tang was unwilling to give in, but he still had illusions. After working diligently for more than ten years, he still had the illusion of gaining some favor from the emperor!

But the facts prove it.

Fantasy is unrealistic, and you will end up like Shang Jun...

"Your Highness."

At this time, Zhang Tang suddenly bowed down and kowtowed deeply. "As I am about to die, I have two concerns, so I present them to you with audacity!"

Perhaps it was the influence of the solemn atmosphere in the mansion, or perhaps it was the repeated gifts from Zhang's mother, Zhang Tang and others, but the utilitarianism that Liu Ju had when he first arrived had dissipated a lot.

He said sincerely, "Please tell me, censor. As long as I can do it, I will not refuse!"

Zhang Tang was determined to die, so he spoke briefly and to the point.

"One."

"I have never leaked the emperor's edict to anyone. Tian Xin, a retainer of my mansion, must have been coerced. After I die, please save him, Your Highness."

"Second."

As he spoke, he looked at the two people on his right and said, "It's my fault, I will take the blame. I hope Your Highness can protect my child."

After hearing these words, Zhang He could no longer suppress his grief and knelt down and said, "Father!"

Zhang Anshi also knelt on the ground, tears streaming down his face.

Ugh.

Liu Ju really sighed this time. Today's result is the result of yesterday's cause. Under the pressure of the general trend, he could not save the situation and could not do anything. He could only make some promises within his ability.

"Relax, Imperial Secretary."

"I know about Tian Xin's matter, and there must be an explanation."

"Zhang He is my retainer. He came to me that day and said he wanted to find a place for Zhang to stay. I agreed and will never break my promise. I will definitely use him in important positions in the future!"

talking.

Liu Ju shook his head. "I will block the envoys outside the palace for the censor. There are some things you should say..."

"I won't stay any longer. Goodbye."

In the hall, the father and his two sons bowed together and did not stand up for a long time.

When you get up.

The hall was already dead silent, with only suppressed sobbing sounds heard from time to time...
