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

Chapter 26 Defend the country!

Because Jianzhang Palace and Shenming Terrace were just outside the city of Chang'an.

Therefore, even if Gongsun Qing sent someone to inform His Majesty, it would take at least half a day.

But in fact, changes had already occurred in Chang'an City long before Liu Jing arrived at the "Shenmingtai".

There were three groups of people sent out from Ganquan Palace this time.

The men rode on horses with blood-sweating features, held imperial edicts in their hands, and no guard dared to stop them...

As soon as Yi Bo entered Chang'an, he went straight to the Palace of the Supreme Court, one of the Nine Ministers.

Another wave headed directly towards the residence of Prime Minister Liu Quti.

And the last wave rushed straight to the Prince’s Palace!
……

Taiwong.

"Your Majesty has ordered that the Crown Prince should record in detail how Jiang Chong, Su Wen and others searched for witchcraft and how it spread to the ministers' residences, Changle Palace, and even the Crown Prince's Palace in recent days."

"Also, the Crown Prince should write down in detail what he knows about Emperor Jing's grandson Liu Jing since he was enlightened, who taught him, which famous hermits he visited, and any interactions he had with people outside the palace, as well as the auspicious signs in the Crown Prince's Palace and the entire process before and after the discovery. All of this should be recorded in the file."

Liu Ju raised his head and looked at Wang Bi in front of him, lost in thought.

Jing'er went to Ganquan Palace and received the imperial edict so quickly. What was the situation there?

"Can I go to meet my father in person?" Liu Ju asked tentatively.

He could only explain the witchcraft incident to his father when he met him. But His Majesty refused to meet him and allowed Jiang Chong and others to search the Crown Prince's Palace.

A dignified prince was bullied to such an extent that he became a laughing stock of the country.

"Why does your Highness make things difficult for me?" Wang Bi said with a wry smile.

It is not up to him to decide whether or not Your Majesty meets someone.

Liu Ju glanced at the silk book again, stepped back and asked, "Did Jing'er see father in Ganquan Palace?"

"This..." Wang Bi hesitated for a moment, but still answered, "I saw it."

"Father, do you believe in auspicious signs?" Liu Ju was pleasantly surprised at first, and then pressed on, "Did Jing'er argue with reason and expose the conspiracy of Jiang Chong, Su Wen and others to frame the Crown Prince's Palace?"

Wang Bi hesitated again, he didn't know whether he should tell the truth to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.

Just thinking about it, the current situation is complicated.

What if the prince hears the "real news" and makes an extreme judgment, wouldn't that be a waste of time for him?

I'd better complete His Majesty's task as soon as possible and leave the city quickly.

Don't cause trouble!

Thinking of this, Wang Bi hurriedly said, "Your Highness, please be at ease. Since His Majesty is willing to investigate the witchcraft case personally, there will definitely be a good result."

"As long as His Royal Highness the Crown Prince writes down the actions of Jiang Chong and others after entering the capital, as well as the mentor or other people visited by Emperor Jing, and submits it to Your Majesty, I believe the results will soon come to light."

He spoke very politely, and his words seemed to contain great good news for Liu Ju and others.

Even Liu Jin was a little excited by what he said.

"Father, it seems that the auspicious sign is really useful, otherwise the royal grandfather would not ask about the process of witchcraft, and even want to know more about my second brother. It seems that my second brother is deeply loved by grandfather this time."

Speaking of this, even Liu Jin felt a little jealous.

However, this thought came and disappeared quickly, and was replaced by a strong sense of relief.

Hearing this, Liu Ju seemed to be somewhat pleased. "That's even better. You wait here. I will write down everything that Father wants."

Wang Bi smiled, and seeing the reaction of the father and son, he felt relieved, "Prince, can you write faster? His Majesty is waiting anxiously."

"Yes, yes, yes!" Liu Ju reacted and realized that they were riding on horses that could run a thousand miles a day, and his father could not wait for them.

Thinking of this, he wrote quickly, all for his father to see how Jiang Chong and others he sent were behaving recklessly, and how he, as the crown prince, was so magnanimous that he only arrested Jiang Chong...

"Prince, can you please write faster..."

Perhaps Liu Ju wrote the whole thing, because half an hour passed slowly and Liu Ju had only written half of it.

"Don't worry, I will tell you all his vicious deeds!"

Half an hour passed.

Wang Bi was already getting impatient, and at this moment Liu Ju suddenly fell into deep thought. Why was he so anxious?
Also, there was news from the Prince's Palace: the people he sent to keep an eye on it hadn't returned yet.

"Prince? Prince?"

"I have finished writing." Liu Che stared at his actions.

But Wang Bi had already stood up eagerly, "Thank you, Prince!" He hurriedly took the silk book with Liu Ju's abbreviations and was about to leave.

Liu Ju looked at him quietly, and suddenly said: "Where are you going, Changshi? I haven't written down the name of the teacher that Jing'er worshipped..."

"This, this..." Wang Bi was anxious, and then he sat down quickly, "Prince, please hurry!"

But this time, Liu Ju only wrote two names and suddenly stopped writing.

"Prince?" Wang Bi became more and more flustered, suspecting that the other party seemed to have guessed something.

"Your Highness the Crown Prince! Your Highness the Crown Prince!"

At the same time, outside the Prince's Palace, there was a continuous sound of horse hooves approaching rapidly, followed by an anxious and panicked voice that could no longer be suppressed.

"Your Highness, an auspicious event has occurred! In a rage, His Majesty sent Emperor Jing's grandson to the God's Terrace to pray for rain. I'm afraid he will starve within two days..."

Wang Bi's face changed drastically!

The anxious tone outside the palace came to an abrupt end before the next word was uttered.

Liu Ju realized something, he stepped back and looked at Wang Bi angrily.

"As expected, you are so anxious. I know that nothing good is going to happen... How dare you bully me?"

"Your Highness!" Wang Bi cursed inwardly at this, but he did not dare to hide it. "Prince, this is the will of His Majesty after all. Please forgive me for not wanting you to be sad..."

"sad?"

Liu Ju was furious at this moment. With a "clang" sound, he instantly drew out the sword from his waist.

"Tell me! Father wants these, wants these...what on earth does he want to do?"

His voice was shrill, and it was obvious that he had reached the most desperate moment.

Wang Bi felt cold all over, "Prince, why do you have to ask? I, your servant..."

"You are treacherous people. It is you who have repeatedly harmed me in front of my father!"

No longer waiting for Wang Bi to speak.

Liu Ju obviously knew something. He swung his sword and stabbed a eunuch next to Wang Bi to death with one sword!
"Say!"

Wang Bi was immediately frightened out of his wits, "Prince, the grandson of the Emperor Jing is committing treason in front of Your Majesty. This is a crime of deceiving the emperor!"

boom!
It seemed as if at this moment, something was completely shattered, and that was the last hope!

Liu Ju stared blankly at the blood-stained sword in front of him.

"Then why do I need to write these?"

Wang Bi was panicked, "Prince, what Emperor Jing's grandson said is appalling. Your Majesty wants to see who taught him..."

Liu Ju became more and more angry, "Are you going to kill them all?"

His tone suddenly became sharp, "What about Jing'er?"

"Grandson of the Emperor Jing, Grandson of the Emperor Jing..."

"You say!" Liu Ju immediately looked at the palace guards who were trembling with fear beside him.

"Replying to the Crown Prince, I'm afraid that the Emperor Jing's grandson will starve to death or die of thirst on the Shenming Terrace. His Majesty has issued an order to Shanglin Garden to prohibit the delivery of water and food. I'm afraid, I'm afraid it will only take two days..."

Liu Ju was stunned at first, then he suddenly looked up as if he thought of something.

Look in the direction of Ganquan Palace.

"Father! You want to kill your own son, why do you force me to harm my son as well?"

"wrong!"

Suddenly, Liu Ju suddenly thought of something. At this moment, no matter whether he was the father or not, he must not be the father. Only in this way can he occupy the orthodoxy!

"Not the Father! Yes, not the Father!"

"My father must have been murdered by a traitor. This time, the traitor also wanted to harm the crown prince and plot against the throne!"

"As the prince alone..."

Liu Ju turned his head and looked at his eldest son behind him, then looked at Shi De who had already come out.

He has completely hardened his heart.

Just draw your sword and point it to the sky!
"We must defend the Han Dynasty!"
