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

Chapter 20 Why Should I Confess?

crazy!

Crazy crazy.

Are you really courting death by saying such unconditional words in front of Your Majesty?
When Su Wen, An Daohou Han Shuo and others saw the other party's appearance, they remembered the moment when they went to the Prince's Palace the day before and the other party blocked the door.

At that time, they still thought that the emperor's grandson was instructed by the prince. However, after seeing this scene now, they realized that the prince did not have the courage to do so.

I'm afraid that this grandson of the emperor has been driven crazy by witchcraft!
He not only did that to them, but also to his grandfather, the Emperor of the Han Dynasty?
The last fight is to completely risk your life!

Thinking of this, all the ministers hurriedly looked at His Majesty.

At this moment, Liu Che's facial expressions changed a lot. Sometimes he was so angry that his eyes were about to burst, as if he remembered something hateful. Sometimes he was filled with emotion and lost in memories.

Until now, he has been suppressing his emotions, as if he does not want Grandson Jing to see him losing control of his emotions.

"If you want to know, I will answer you one by one."

Suddenly, Liu Che pointed at Liu Jing, then slowly leaned back in his chair and sneered:

"I still remember a few years ago, when I asked the Crown Prince what he thought about the Xiongnu. The Crown Prince said: The war between the two sides should stop, and the days of my Han princesses marrying in peace should be restored."

"I grew up in the palace and have heard about the Xiongnu's strength, killing my people and invading my territory. I have also heard about the cowardly attitude of the Han people, who were pressed step by step by the enemy but could only bow down and beg for peace.

"Therefore, when I was made the Crown Prince of the Han Dynasty at the age of seven, I had already made up my mind to destroy the Xiongnu..."

At this moment, the old emperor seemed to have returned to the ambitions of his youth.

The expulsion of the Huns and the war against them, which resulted in the two countries' offensive and defensive positions becoming different, were feats he was proud of throughout his life.

At this moment, he simply looked at his ministers and waved his hand, showing the same heroic spirit as in the past.

"Sweep them away from my sight and drive them to the horizon!"

"Your Majesty, Holy Might!"

At this time, seeing that His Majesty did not seem to be as furious as expected, but was reminiscing about the past, the ministers present naturally knew what to do and just wanted to quickly make a small matter.

However, Liu Che knew what they were thinking and reached out to stop their flattery.

"I am answering the words of this grandson of the Emperor Jing! What are you in such a hurry to do?"

Without paying any attention to the ministers, he looked at Liu Jing and changed the subject again.

"But the prince you just mentioned doesn't think so!"

"He still wants our Han Dynasty to return to the past, and he still wants to make peace with the Xiongnu! Does he still want to tell the world that my feat of expelling the Xiongnu, making our Han Dynasty strong, and defeating the powerful enemies that I thought were invincible in my life was wrong?"

"He wants to erase my achievements!"

Liu Che raised his head, turned his neck, then looked at Liu Jing, and his tone suddenly slowed down.

"But I heard the hidden meaning in your words just now. Ha! It turns out that the prince's son is also at odds with his father over this Xiongnu matter!"

Hear this.

The ministers then realized why the Majesty had suppressed his anger and explained patiently.

It turns out that Emperor Jing's grandson's attitude towards the Huns is opposite to that of the Crown Prince. If we turn it around, wouldn't it be the same as your Majesty's?
"besides……"

Liu Che added: "The princess is marrying down, not marrying for peace. You should make this clear to me. I have chosen three good husbands for her, and each time they were the most prominent military marquises in our Han Dynasty."

"As for the third marriage, I admit that I was deceived by that villain Luanda, but when the eldest princess married him, he was still the Marquis of Le Tong, who was personally conferred by me! It does not count as a disgrace to the princess's status."

"Princess Dangli didn't complain to me, so there's no need for you, a junior, to come here and talk about marrying a wizard!" "As for whether there is immortality in the world, I'm here to tell you. I've seen immortals with my own eyes. I've seen someone turn back to youth and become an immortal in front of me! I still have the recipe for the elixir he left me."

"I have even seen people who were on the verge of death take his pills and gradually recover and even grow new teeth!"

"I even know the location of Penglai Fairy Island. In the pre-Qin period, there was a Mr. Anqi who lived there!"

Liu Che said this with great force, and then he looked at Liu Jing again and said with a smile: "Humph, I have seen what you know, and I have also seen what you don't know..."

"And your first question, how can we construct Xiantai Pavilions nowadays? How can this be considered a major construction project?"

"Since I ascended the throne, I have worked hard for the Han Dynasty for more than fifty years. Now that I am old, all I want is to live longer. Is it possible that this world cannot satisfy even the slightest of my wishes?"

Liu Che looked at the ministers in the hall and asked again:
"Can't I enjoy myself?"

The Imperial Censor Zhang Gan said even faster: "As the ancients said: All under heaven belongs to the king, and all the people are his subjects. If the emperor wants to have fun, why wouldn't the whole world agree?"

"Grandson Jing seems to be caring about the people, but in fact he is harshly criticizing Your Majesty. I hope Your Majesty will understand!"

"As for your last question." Liu Che listened to the conversations around him, nodded for a while, and then said: "I don't distrust my son, but how do you explain the Paulownia doll used for witchcraft found in his palace?"

"He buried a Paulownia doll and cursed me, so much so that I could sense it every night when I was asleep. How could it not be true?"

"Witchcraft harms people, it's a fact!"

"It is also true that you are now cursing me in the name of offering auspiciousness!"

So much said in one breath.

Liu Che already felt dry mouth.

"I understand that you are young and ignorant. Even though you are full of anger, you can still be called brave. It does not disgrace my royal bloodline. You are much better than that prince!"

"Therefore, if you plead guilty now and admit that this is the so-called disaster, I may forgive your crime of deceiving the emperor and expel you from Chang'an and the royal family, leaving you a guilty person!"

At this moment, when all the ministers heard this, they couldn't help but marvel in amazement.

Your Majesty is patient enough and has the intention to forgive, which was absolutely impossible in the past.

however!
However, Liu Che looked at Liu Che coldly. He was not surprised at all by what Liu Che had just said. Emperor Xuanzong of Tang did the same in later generations.

But, with such an absurd answer, he wants to admit his guilt?

"Your Majesty! Since Emperor Gaozu founded the Han Dynasty, has there ever been a rule that commits a crime by offering auspicious signs?"

"Why should I plead guilty?"

At this moment, Liu Jing's voice was sonorous and powerful, and he directly rejected all the other party's words.

And the next moment, he simply said all the angry words in his heart in one breath.

"Witchcraft! Witchcraft! If Your Majesty really believed in witchcraft, why did you raise a million strong soldiers when you were young? Why did you select generals who were good at fighting? Why did you relocate the rich and weaken the princes with a decree of enfeoffment? Why did you extort money from the people to raise military expenses?"

now.

Liu Jing stared at Liu Che with scorching eyes!

"Your Majesty, why don't you use witchcraft to curse the Xiongnu? Why should our Han Dynasty waste our manpower and money? Just send these alchemists and see if they can curse the Xiongnu to death!"

"But in my opinion... I'm afraid that at that time, Your Majesty will really use witchcraft to curse the Xiongnu a thousand or ten thousand times."

"The Xiongnu can still charge into the Han Dynasty, kill its people, and plunder its property!"
