Han: The witchcraft disaster begins, I fight against Emperor Wu of Han

Chapter 17 Rebellion! Rebellion!!

Inside the main hall of Ganquan Palace.

The inner court officials who came with Liu Che to escape the summer heat gathered together.

If the city of Chang'an where the prince lived was the apparent center of the country, there were also people like General Li Guangli and Prime Minister Liu Quti in the court who constrained him.

Then Ganquan Palace is the real power center, political center, and military center of the Han Dynasty!
Sang Hongyang, Shangguan Jie and other ministers had already arrived, and Huo Guang and Jin Midi, who had arrived in the morning, were also among them.

Hearing Su Wen's voice, all the ministers immediately looked outside.

Even the four-year-old child in Lady Gouyi's arms was very curious. After all, when he came, he already knew that someone had sent auspicious signs from heaven to his father.

"Your Majesty... I have fulfilled my mission and finally brought you the auspicious sign from the Crown Prince's Palace."

As soon as he entered the hall, Su Wen excitedly congratulated Liu Che.

Liu Che was obviously also very curious, and he looked at Hu Wu Tan He who was standing beside him.

"But what about the auspicious sign?"

Tan He first glanced at Su Wen, then smiled and said, "Your Majesty has great fortune, this must be a gift from heaven."

Liu Che was immediately surprised. He now had great trust in this Hu witch.

Su Wen couldn't help but be delighted when he heard Tan He's words. He couldn't wait any longer and immediately urged his subordinates behind him.

"Hurry up, come in! What are you taking so long for?"

Carriages were not allowed to enter the hall, so the guards almost carried the auspicious object wrapped in red cloth in.

After placing it in the center of the hall, he stood up and left.

"Congratulations, Your Majesty! Congratulations, Your Majesty!"

At this time, Chang Rong, who had been watching beside Liu Che, was about to congratulate him.

Liu Che immediately raised his hand and said, "Why are you congratulating me now? You haven't seen it clearly yet. Let me come in person..."

"His Majesty!"

At this time, Lady Gouyi, who had been sitting next to Liu Che, said, "Since this is a heaven-sent auspicious sign, and it is said that when a divine tortoise emerges from the water, auspicious signs will naturally come. May God bless the Han Dynasty and bring us abundant rain!"

"There is even a saying about life span."

"Why not let Fuling reveal it? As a son, I can pray for His Majesty! When God sees that the child is respectful and filial, he will surely send down a blessing from the emperor."

"Oh?" Liu Che nodded repeatedly upon hearing this.

But at this moment, he couldn't help but think of the Prince's Palace.

"Look, this is my child."

"One tried his best to hide the auspicious sign, committed treason, and even used witchcraft to curse my father. The other one had a pure heart and prayed for my father..."

"Why is there such a big difference between us, the same sons of men?"

No official dared to answer, just as no one dared to plead for the prince.

"Fuling, come here."

At this time, Liu Che looked at Liu Fuling and said earnestly: "Go and help father uncover..."

The latter is still a child, curious by nature.

Hearing this, he immediately smiled sweetly and ran towards the auspicious sign with his little body. When he got closer, he suddenly remembered what his mother had taught him before.

He immediately knelt down in front of Liu Che in a formal manner, "Father, I will reveal it..."

"Good boy, hurry up!"

Immediately, Liu Fuling grabbed a corner of the red cloth and pulled it hard, and the red cloth was torn off.

In an instant, a stone turtle, in the posture of climbing out of the water, appeared in front of everyone.

"Divine turtle! It's really a good omen..."

"It's natural, it's natural!"

"There are actually words on it. Could this be a revelation from heaven?"

As soon as they saw it, Chang Rong and Su Wen hurriedly moved closer to check it out.

But there were so many people coming closer to take a look that they fell behind for a while.

"Get out of my way!"

Upon seeing this, Liu Che waved his hand impatiently.

"I have already told you to let Fuling go up and welcome this auspicious sign for me. Do you also want to do this for me?"

Only then did the ministers calm down.

Liu Che then looked at Liu Fuling with a smile, "Fuling, let me ask you, what is written on it?"

"Father, I heard that you learned calligraphy from your teacher this year and you can already write a lot of characters."

Liu Fuling blinked and nodded quickly.

Lady Gouyi also smiled and said, "Your Majesty, he has learned more than 300 characters now. The teachers all say that this child is very smart and can learn quickly."

"Haha, after all, he is my flesh and blood, of course he is smart." Liu Che smiled.

Liu Fuling was born after fourteen months in his mother's womb. Like the ancient sage king Yao, he was naturally different from ordinary children.

"Father, I recognize the words on this."

Liu Fuling took a look first and then blinked.

Without waiting for Liu Che to answer, he hurriedly read:

"Turtle... the turtle lives a long life!" As expected!

Upon hearing these three words, Liu Che's eyes suddenly widened, and even Huo Guang, Jin Midi and others looked at each other in bewilderment. Such a bizarre thing was rare.

"Sure enough, it carries the word 'longevity'. Is it really a revelation from heaven?" Madam Gouyi couldn't help but say happily.

"Kid, what's next?"

Liu Fuling frowned and tried to recognize it for a long time before he shouted uncertainly:
"Father, there are four sentences in total. The first sentence is..."

The innocent voice of a child resounded throughout the hall. Perhaps the ministers wanted to hear it more clearly, so they closed their eyes and concentrated. The hall was so quiet that even the sound of breathing seemed to be heard.

"The divine turtle... the divine turtle may live long, but... it still has its end!"

Ok?
When they heard this, everyone frowned.

The joy on Liu Che's face froze in an instant.

But Liu Fuling didn't know this and just continued to read:
"A flying snake rides on the mist, but it eventually turns to dust!"

Swish!
silence!

A silence even quieter than before.

At this moment, the ministers opened their eyes wide, no longer listening attentively as before, and instead looked at the stone turtle in horror.

Then he slowly turned his head and looked at His Majesty.

Sure enough, the latter had already widened his eyes, staring at the so-called "auspicious sign".

But Liu Fuling was young and took everything seriously.

At this moment, perhaps the last two sentences were easier to recognize, and the innocent and joyful voice of the child sounded again.

However, it was like a bolt from the blue, causing the entire hall to become completely silent!

"An old horse in the stable still has ambitions to run a thousand miles, a martyr in his old age still has ambitions..."

……

Shocked!

Everyone stared at the stone turtle. There was no "excitement" in their eyes anymore. The grateful look they had just had when they saw the auspicious sign had now turned into shock and confusion.

"This this……"

At this moment, Su Wen could no longer conceal the fear on his face.

Finally, he was the first to break the unspeakable silence.

"Your Majesty! Your Majesty! This servant deserves to die. This servant absolutely deserves to die!"

"His Majesty!"

Han Shuo also reacted immediately. He was the one who brought up this auspicious sign. "Your Majesty, it has changed! The people in the Crown Prince's Palace have definitely changed!"

Hearing this, Zhang Gan beside him also hurriedly said: "Yes, yes, it was the people from the Prince's Palace who replaced it."

"This is not a good omen, this is treason, it is a curse on Your Majesty!"

The ministers and eunuchs present were not illiterate.

This extremely simple literal meaning, the first time you hear it, the corresponding scene automatically appears in your mind.

The divine turtle does have a long lifespan, but it will eventually die!
Even though the Teng Snake can fly in the clouds, it will eventually turn into dust!

What is this for? Who is it hinting at?

Does it mean that no matter how great your Majesty's authority is or how high your position is, you will eventually pass away?

So what kind of immortality is Your Majesty seeking now?
Although everyone knows these things, who dares to say them out loud?

Especially since His Majesty is becoming more and more sensitive now, isn't it courting death to send this thing out under the pretext of auspiciousness?

The most important thing is the last two sentences.

Are you teaching an emperor how to do things?
An old horse should also have great ambitions, and a person with great ambitions should not lose his enterprising spirit even in his old age!
"Tell me, is this a good omen?"

at last.

Liu Che, who had been silent all the time, suddenly looked at Su Wen, Han Shuo and others.

"You are the ones who told me this. This is a good omen!"

“Is this a good omen?”

Liu Che suddenly picked up the wine glass he had just prepared to celebrate and threw it at Su Wen.

"Who is it? Who is it?"

Liu Che opened his eyes angrily, like an angry dragon patrolling.

After just looking at it for a long time, he realized that these were the four people he trusted most, who had searched out the palace of his son and lied that it was a good omen!

But it was clearly a curse on himself!

Looking around, is there anyone you can trust?

Immediately.

His mind stirred up huge waves!

"Inverted!"

"Inverted!!!"
