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

Chapter 27: Trusting a Villain
Seeing Liu Ju made up his mind.

Wang Bi was so frightened that his face turned pale. "Prince...what are you going to do?"

Liu Ju held the sword tightly.

At this moment, he was looking at the attendant with white hair and eyebrows in front of him. The other party was an old man in his father's palace, and he did have an old acquaintance with him.

"Prince, listen to my advice and go to Ganquan Palace immediately. It is the right thing to do to follow the example of Lian Po who carried a thorn stick on his back to ask for forgiveness. Even though Your Majesty is the emperor, he is still the father of the crown prince. Things are not at their worst yet."

"Don't say any more!"

Liu Ju looked at the other person and wanted to stab him to death with a sword, but a scene from his childhood flashed through his mind, and he decided to let him go.

"After nightfall, I will let you go. If you are lucky enough to return to Ganquan Palace alive, tell your father if he is still alive..."

Speaking of this, Liu Ju's eyes turned red.

"Father always said: If a son is weak and cowardly, he is not like his father! But everything he has done is for the Liu family. Now the world is suffering from continuous disasters, and the number of casualties among the people in various counties has long been incalculable."

"The imperial court did not think about disaster relief, but instead believed in witchcraft and sorcery. They sent people everywhere to visit famous mountains and rivers to look for hermits in order to seek fame and fortune. They also wantonly extorted money while in office, used witchcraft to intimidate the people, and enriched themselves for their own benefit..."

"My father has built palaces on a grand scale. He once sent soldiers on expeditions to find a thousand-mile horse. The cost was extravagant, and countless soldiers who were good at fighting died or were injured!"

"But my father is still sending troops on an expedition...to start a war between the Xiongnu and the Han Dynasty!"

"Little did they know that today, my great man has already been like a taut string, and I don't know when it will break!"

"We should go to Ganquan Palace and advise our father again."

"But I am trapped in the witchcraft and cannot extricate myself."

"Now fathers doubt their sons, sons fear their fathers, kings harm the people, and the people curse their kings... all because traitors harm the country and deceive the emperor!"

At this moment, Liu Ju looked at Wang Bi with emotion and said the last words.

"I am the crown prince, and the Han Dynasty is about to fall. I am willing to kill the traitors by myself, and when things get clear, I will dispel this layer of witchcraft fog! I will personally take the blame and go before my father, and all of this will be..."

"Father, if you want to kill or shave me, I will do as you wish!"

After saying that.

He waved his sword toward the sky again, "God can bear witness to what I have said!"

"I will never be Fusu of the Former Qin Dynasty!"

Say it.

He immediately looked at Master Shi De, "Shi De, listen to my orders!"

"Chen is here!"

"Take the crown prince's seal immediately, go to the armory, control all personnel, prepare to distribute weapons and armor, and follow me to eliminate the traitors."

Liu Ju knew very well that if he really wanted to plan something big, the first thing he had to do was to control the arsenal.

Shi De had been waiting for this day for a long time. "Yes!"

"Zhang Guang!" Liu Ju looked at another person.

"Take my handprint immediately and go to the court to release the prisoners who were arrested for evading taxes, labor service, or even witchcraft, and give them weapons and armor. Tell them to follow me to kill the traitors, and all their crimes will be forgiven. Those who have made contributions will be rewarded with huge amounts of money, or even be made marquises!"

"Tell Jingzhao Yin, Yu Jiyan, that the time has come. Tell him to send troops immediately to blockade the residences of Prime Minister Liu Quti and his cronies..."

After a series of orders were issued, Liu Ju looked at Liu Jin.

"My son...stay in the palace."

Liu Jin nodded, saying nothing.

When the Paulownia wood doll was "plundered" by Jiang Chong and other thieves, the Emperor's grandfather didn't even want to listen to their explanations.

He knew that as a descendant of the Liu family, if he was deposed, it would be better for him to die in disgrace.

It’s better to risk your life now!
"I will go to Changle Palace and ask my mother to use her seal to mobilize the Changle Palace guards to control all the ministers in Chang'an as soon as possible..."

"After that, transfer the southern and northern armies!"

……

the other side.

The residence of Prime Minister Liu Quti.

"Don't worry, I will live up to your majesty's trust and send someone to monitor the crown prince immediately."

Liu Quti is nearly fifty years old, tall and thin, with a noble demeanor. He is also a member of the imperial clan, his grandfather is Emperor Jing of Han, Liu Qi, and the current emperor is his uncle.

"Prime Minister, please stay. We will return to report immediately."

They came riding on thousand-mile horses, and after giving instructions to the emperor, they ate and drank at the prime minister's residence before preparing to return.

But just as I walked to the door, I was about to go out.

However, they found that at some point, more than a dozen figures appeared in front of the Prime Minister's door, followed by dozens of roaming palace guards, and quickly came towards Liu Quti and others.

The latter was shocked when he saw this. "Someone come quickly!"

He first yelled, then ran in and closed the door. Those who reacted immediately followed, and those who didn't react...

"what!"

"Inform the prince that the Prime Minister's residence has been surrounded by us."

"Wait for news from the Imperial Court, and control the three waves of rebels coming from Ganquan Palace! Then, head to the armory and put on your armor immediately!"

"promise!"

……

Ganquan Palace...

It was late at night, but Liu Che had not fallen asleep.

"Has the messenger who went to Chang'an City not returned yet?"

Liu Che rubbed his eyes and put down the memorial in his hand.

He hadn't looked through these for a long time. Reading memorials was tiring for his eyes, and as he was old, he felt even more tired when reading at night.

Thinking of this, he felt a little angry for no reason. He originally wanted to rest well in Ganquan Palace, but he didn't expect that he would still be distracted by these bad things!
"Your Majesty, it will take quite some time to travel from Ganquan Palace to Chang'an and back. Your Majesty should rest and recuperate first. I will wait for you here." Huo Guang replied hurriedly.

"Humph! With the Ferghana horses that Li Guangli brought back for me, they should have returned long ago. I'm afraid they went to a banquet in Chang'an again! Or maybe..."

When Liu Che thought of that possibility, he was shocked at first, and then shook his head.

That cowardly prince is probably so frightened that he can't even eat. He is no better than the emperor's grandson.

"Well, I'll go and rest first."

However, Liu Che's sleep was very short. He just closed his eyes and was forced to open them shortly after by the noise.

Look up.

But he saw that it was Wang Bi, who had been with him for a long time.

The morning light from outside the window shone into the hall, illuminating the dried blood on Wang Bi's face.

"who!"

Liu Che took one look and was immediately frightened and kicked him...

Every night when he went to sleep during these days, he saw a similar face, twisted in blood and fire and unable to be seen clearly.

After a long time, he became drowsy and always felt that someone was trying to harm him.

The witch Hu, who was good at observing qi, took a look and indeed found that there was the aura of witchcraft in the capital.

Now he was convinced.

I wanted to kick this dream away, but I didn't expect that the latter was lying on the ground, crying and wailing in a sad voice.

"Your Majesty! Your Majesty!"

"The prince is rebelling! The prince is really rebelling!"

"Get out! Get out!" Liu Che waved his hands, trying to make the dream go away. He kicked Wang Bi again and again...

Unexpectedly, the latter was kicked to the ground.

But he still got up and cried again and again.

"Your Majesty, the prince is rebelling!"

At this moment, Wang Bi completely forgot what Liu Ju said.

He did not follow the instructions given by the prince, but changed his tone and said in the sharpest, most vicious and sad words:

"There is chaos in Chang'an City. The prince has mobilized troops to open the armory and release the prisoners."

"Order them all to be in armor, sire!"

"The Crown Prince... The Crown Prince is already preparing to ascend the throne and rule!"

　I feel the pace is already very fast, and a lot of side content has been removed...

　　But some people say it's too fast, others say it's too slow...

　　I just wrote it according to my own way. I dare not drag the plot too much in the new book period, and dare not slow the pace too much, otherwise it will affect the follow-up reading.

　　It’s mainly about updating, but I have some things going on at home recently, and I may have to take leave during the new book period, so I will temporarily update twice a day to save manuscripts for later.

　　In addition, the rain serves as a foreshadowing and also sets off the subsequent plot.

　　Otherwise, after the dry rain, there would be nothing to write except shock...

　　Don’t worry, fellow readers, everything is for more exciting content.
