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

Chapter 22 Who can be Yao and Shun?
Waste storage!

When these two words came out, the atmosphere in the entire hall changed instantly!
If before, it was just the so-called "auspicious signs and witchcraft", then those who were really involved were Su Wen, Zhang Gan, Han Shuo, Hu Wutan and others.

As for most of the ministers, they just watched with cold eyes.

Is it possible to live forever? Is there really witchcraft?
Every official who could be in this hall and was chosen by Emperor Liu Che to be an "inner court official" had a scale in his heart.

Everyone may stay away from it!
But I will never regard it as a "must-believe" rule.

However, at this moment, the words "abolish the crown prince" directly affected the country's foundation!

You can think these words in your heart, and you can talk about them with good friends in some private place, but you must never say them openly in front of Your Majesty!

Therefore, at this moment.

Even Huo Guang, Jin Midi, Sang Hongyang and others could not help but feel a chill in their hearts, and even felt truly frightened.

Witchcraft has nothing to do with them!

But the crown prince is enough to influence all officials in the entire Han Dynasty!
No one dared to speak, but the shock this grandson of Emperor Jing gave people at this moment was far greater than before! Some officials even wanted to leave the palace!

Deathly silence! Deathly silence formed in an instant!

The hall seemed to have become pitch black, and only on both sides in the center, a pair of old but majestic scarlet eyes of an angry dragon were awakening!
This is not a tyrant who is obsessed with "witchcraft and immortality".

Instead, he was the emperor who created the powerful Han Dynasty and caused millions of deaths when he was angry!

Finally, the silence in the hall was broken by a quiet voice.

Although he no longer had the violent temper he had just now, it felt as if thousands of blades were approaching him silently and rapidly!
"This... is what the prince asked you to say?"

"The emperor's intentions are clear as day! Which minister in the capital doesn't know it?" Since they have already faced each other, Liu Jing will not be timid.

At this moment, in his consciousness, golden light gradually spread, and finally turned into light-colored pale golden lotus flowers, floating on the surface of the coin...

This means that the current luck value is still accumulating.

Just as I thought at the beginning.

He was not sure whether the Witchcraft Disaster was initiated by Liu Che himself.

The premise for launching the movement was that one truly believed in the so-called witchcraft, so one was deceived by treacherous officials and ended up making a big mistake.

Or did he do it deliberately by using "witchcraft"?
Liu Jing also has two different solutions for these two different definitions.

One is to use "auspiciousness" to counter "witchcraft".

He had just done that.

The second one is to charge forward recklessly and defeat the opponent with force!

No matter what conspiracy it is or whose conspiracy it is, he will take it out first and expose it to the sun for everyone to see clearly.

At this moment, Liu Che also swept his intimidating gaze over all the ministers in the hall.

"Oh? You all know?"

Instantly, all the ministers felt their whole bodies go numb, and almost at the same time they cursed Liu Jing in their hearts, but they moved very quickly, lowering their heads and shouting:
"Your Majesty, the crown prince is the foundation of our Han Dynasty. How can the grandson of the Emperor Jing easily depose him? How dare we make any unwarranted guesses?"

"Your Majesty! The grandson of Emperor Jing is clearly offering auspicious signs this time, but he clearly has ulterior motives! Your Majesty, please do not believe his wild words..."

"This is what Emperor Jing's grandson said to exonerate the crown prince. Your Majesty, please understand!"

For a time, both Huo Guang and Sang Hongyang, who was in charge of the Han Dynasty's finances, spoke out to express their positions.

However, the Censor Zhang Gan, the Yellow Gate Su Wen and others were all horrified and quickly spoke up to clear themselves of suspicion.

They now just want to get themselves out of danger, and they also hope that Your Majesty will punish Emperor Jing's grandson as soon as possible!

The emperor today is not a sentimental emperor. He is a man who can kill anyone, including his closest relatives!

However, Liu Jing did not care about what these officials were thinking. His behavior at this moment was like a moth flying into a flame, bringing about his own destruction.

"Your Majesty, why do you need to ask others? Last year, Your Majesty killed Gongsun and his son in a rage because of witchcraft. Wasn't that a message to all officials in the court - stay away from the crown prince!"

"There are only so many ministers standing on the platform of the Crown Prince's Palace. Gongsun He has become the Prime Minister, one of the Three Dukes. His son Gongsun Jingsheng is the Grand Coachman, one of the Nine Ministers."

"Your Majesty let these two people die unjustly in prison because of the confession of a knight-errant, Zhu Anshi, and implicated their entire family, which later involved two princesses and many officials..."

"May I ask your Majesty, after this incident, who dares to stand beside the prince?"

Liu Che looked at Liu Jing quietly. After hearing his explanation, he wanted to get angry, but suddenly he smiled, revealing his white teeth.

"Ha! I finally heard it clearly. This is Liu Ju's idea to appeal for the injustice done to Gongsun and his son." Liu Jing raised his head and looked around. "The Crown Prince's Palace can't even take care of itself, how can it be capable of appealing for the injustice done to others?"

Liu Che said angrily: "This case has long been concluded. Gongsun Jingsheng embezzled military funds and had an affair with the princess. Together, they planted a witch in Zhidao to curse me, the emperor."

"Shouldn't he be punished?"

Suddenly, his expression moved, as if he thought of something.

"No wonder the prince wants you to speak up for him? No wonder a Paulownia doll was found in the prince's palace. It turns out he is an accomplice!"

Liu Jing shook his head. "If it is framed with witchcraft, anyone in the court can curse the emperor, and anyone can be an accomplice of Gongsun and his son!"

"But if we convict according to Han law... Your Majesty once made a law to redeem sins with money in order to raise military funds. Therefore, even a death penalty can be exempted with money!"

"Gongsun Jingsheng was guilty of embezzling military funds. He could have been exempted by paying money. But Gongsun and his son are both dead..."

"In addition, Gongsun Jingsheng deserved to die!"

At this moment, Liu Jing thought of a page of history book he had read before, and suddenly asked:

"But Prime Minister Gongsun He...what crime has he committed?"

"May I ask your Majesty, during the court's investigation, have you ever found any evidence of Prime Minister Gongsun He's guilt?"

The Tingwei, one of the Nine Ministers, was responsible for adjudicating cases.

The reason why Liu Jing was so sure was that in the fourth year after the Witchcraft Incident, the Prime Minister at that time, Tian Qianqiu, discussed the "Witchcraft Incident" with Emperor Wu. According to historical records, Emperor Wu once said: The Supreme Court did not find any evidence of guilt!

In other words, if according to the Han law established by Liu Che, money can be used to exempt one from punishment, then Gongsun He only needs to pay money to save his son.

But a knight who appeared out of nowhere, speaking in a nice way, is a knight, but speaking in a bad way, is a gangster. In addition, if a few broken puppets were dug out from under the straight road where Emperor Wu of Han's carriage passed, the prime minister, one of the three highest officials, could be exterminated.

This is simply unbelievable!
And just when Liu Jing spoke frankly.

At this moment, Liu Che had narrowed his eyes, and he no longer concealed the scarlet look of madness.

He did not answer Liu Jing's question. It was unknown whether he did not want to get too involved or for some other reason. Only a cold voice slowly sounded.

"Based on this alone, you are guessing that I want to depose the crown prince?"

"Of course not!" At this moment, Liu Jing's sharp intention was also revealed.

He knew that the next moment would be the other party's judgment!
But no matter what, he had to say everything he had to say and throw out all the chips he was holding.

Only in this way can we “turn the tide of victory” to the greatest extent!
"In the third year of Taishi, Madam Gouyi gave birth to a prince. It was said that he was born after a fourteen-month pregnancy. His Majesty changed the palace name to 'Mother Yao' and compared her son to the ancient sage Emperor Yao!"

At this moment.

When Liu Jing's words were uttered, instantly, the faces of all the officials in the entire hall changed again in shock!

The statement just now was enough to scare them.

I didn't expect it still exists now.

"shut up!"

"Grandson Jing, please stop talking!"

At this time, all the ministers advised each other.

But Liu Jing turned a deaf ear to it.

At the same time, in the side hall, Liu Che had just asked Lady Gouyi to take Liu Fuling away, but how could the latter retreat like that?
Hearing this scene, his face was immediately filled with horror.

"May I ask your majesty? The emperor is still on the throne, and the crown prince lives in the East Palace!"

"Looking at our Han Dynasty, who can be like Yao or Shun?"

As soon as the first question was asked, Liu Che clenched his fists suddenly.

Liu Jing went one step further.

"Your Majesty, have you ever heard of a woman who has been pregnant for fourteen months but still hasn't given birth to a child?"

Taking a deep breath, Liu Jing spoke again.

It's already earth-shattering.

"This is just as absurd as what Your Majesty said about immortality!"
