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

Chapter 28: Disrespect between father and son!
Liu Che suddenly opened his eyes, sat up in shock, and looked fixedly at Wang Bi in front of him.

"My son dares to rebel?"

At this moment, Liu Che's facial expression changed greatly. First, he was confused after waking up from a dream, and then he was shocked after hearing about the rebellion. But when he heard that it was the prince, although his eyes were still in disbelief, his facial expression suddenly flashed with joy...

"Does he have the ability to do this?"

Wang Bi did not observe this. He now knelt on the ground and said anxiously again:
"Your Majesty, it is absolutely true! It is absolutely true! I risked my life to escape overnight when no one was paying attention. Chang'an City is now in chaos. The Crown Prince has released prisoners and opened the armory. Chang'an City is in danger!"

"I'm afraid... I'm afraid that the current crown prince has cleared up everything after a night and is ready to ascend the throne..."

When Liu Che heard this, he stood up suddenly and kicked Wang Bi again.

This time the kick hit the right spot, and the latter suddenly fell down from his kneeling position.

"You, my slave, are you treating this incident as a joke? There are still my embroidered envoys in Chang'an City, the palace guards, the imperial guards, and even the orphans of the imperial guards in Shanglin Garden are loyal to me! Which prince can command them?"

"Liu Quti was the prime minister who supervised all officials. If there was any violation of the law, he could order all officials to kill the rebels in one fell swoop."

"There are still northern troops outside Chang'an. With just one imperial edict from me, I can send them to rush into Chang'an to quell the rebellion. Even if the crown prince raises an army, is he crazy enough to ascend the throne so quickly?"

Over the years, he has carried out a series of reforms to the Han Dynasty's military system.

In the past, the Grand Commandant, one of the Three Dukes, was in charge of the military and was a court position. He sometimes worked with the prime minister to restrict the imperial power.

He changed the title of Taiwei to "Da Sima" and selected people from the Zhongchao officials (inner court officials) to serve in this position. For example, Wei Qing stood out from here.

Afterwards, he also launched reforms on the previous Southern Army and Northern Army.

The northern and southern armies are both part of the emperor's imperial guards, responsible for one internal and one external, and they use tiger talismans to command them.

He first weakened the Southern Army, added the Qimen Army, Yulin Cavalry, and the Yulin Orphans composed of orphans in the army, and these people obeyed him directly!

Without my order, no one can use it.

Later, eight more colonels were appointed in the Northern Army. These colonels and the soldiers under their command also obeyed his orders and could not be acted upon without the imperial authority!
Therefore...

After Wei Qing's death, especially the continuous suppression of the prince's power in recent years, the basic base - the former prime minister and the children of Wei and Huo, who represented the backbone of the power, were all purged.

At this time, Liu Ju's rebellion was like child's play in Liu Che's eyes!
"undress!"

There were already palace maids waiting outside the door, and even Madam Gouyi was watching outside...

He waited until Liu Che had put on his clothes and had time to wash up before leaving.

Wang Bi hurriedly followed and unconsciously made eye contact with Lady Gouyi. Noticing the joy in her eyes, he quickly lowered his head and pretended not to see it.

Soon, in the outer hall, Huo Guang and others had been waiting for a long time.

Liu Che sat down expressionlessly, "Prepare all the personnel in Ganquan Palace immediately. I want to return to Chang'an immediately!"

"We cannot let the situation escalate any further. If we resort to violence and hurt the people, will my Chang'an still be Chang'an?"

"Your Majesty is wise!" Huo Guang said immediately, "But before that, I have a few questions for Wang Changshi."

Liu Che waved his hand.

"Your Majesty sent three groups of people, including the Imperial Censor Zhang Gan, and the Imperial Guards Liu Gan and other generals. Why didn't they come back?"

"Captain, I don't know. I think the Crown Prince had already made preparations outside, so the Crown Prince's palace was not well guarded, which allowed me to escape and communicate..."

Huo Guang stared at Wang Bi without saying anything, as if observing his reaction.

Liu Che also looked over.

But Wang Bi was cautious and still looked anxious.

Huo Guang then said, "Although the Crown Prince is in charge of Chang'an, he has no control over the military power of Chang'an, and the city gate guards will not rashly obey the orders of the Crown Prince. Your Majesty sent Liu Quti to monitor the Crown Prince. According to the eunuchs, I am afraid that the current Prime Minister is also under the Crown Prince's supervision, or has he been killed?"

"I...I don't know!" Wang Bi said hurriedly.

"Then you ran out at night. Has war broken out in Chang'an? To what extent has the chaos been?" "This, this..." Wang Bi said anxiously, "Captain Fengche, I ran in a hurry all the way and only dared to run to remote corners. I slipped out of the city gate and only knew that there was a big change in the city, with shouts and screams. But I don't know where the change in Ganquan happened? It's obvious that the prince is rebelling..."

Huo Guang frowned even deeper.

Suddenly, at this moment.

"Your Majesty! Doctor Gongsun of Jianzhang Palace has sent someone to ask for an audience!"

"Jianzhang Palace?" Liu Che thought of his elixir and the grandson he had sent not long ago. "What's the matter?"

"It's the grandson of Emperor Jing..."

"Died of starvation? Or died of thirst?"

Thinking about how the other person had walked for a whole day and night, if it were a normal person, he would not have drunk a drop of water and would have been exposed to the scorching sun until now.

Even if he died of dehydration now, it wouldn't be surprising.

Just thinking about it, after all, they are his own descendants, Liu Che was silent for a moment.

Although he is a political creature, he still has human emotions in his heart.

How many years had it been since Liu's sons had produced such a rebellious person who dared to refute him? What he disliked most was weakness and cowardice, but he still had infinite admiration for such young and frivolous people.

Just like in the past... Champion!

Unfortunately, although they are somewhat similar in terms of their audacity, in terms of military talent, loyalty to the monarch and even courage and perseverance, they are far from being able to match him!

Instead, he was rebellious and rebellious!
That’s right, there has only been one champion in history.

Thinking this way, he was the emperor after all, so he quickly digested the sadness. The most urgent matter was the rebellion of the crown prince in Chang'an. "I know about it. He was the grandson of the emperor when he was alive. Even if he committed rebellious acts, he is still the grandson of the Han emperor after his death. He will be buried according to the royal family standards and given a title..."

He was planning to crown him king after his death, thus fulfilling the fate of his two grandfathers.

But he hadn't finished speaking yet.

Then, outside the hall, an official ran into the hall in a hurry.

"Your Majesty! That is not the case, Your Majesty!"

"The grandson of Emperor Jing has once again spoken treasonous words. He burned incense and offered sacrifices to the heavens, actually praying to heaven and earth. The auspicious signs have been offered, please let them rain down sweet rain!"

"They said, they said... Now the land is barren and the people are living in misery. It's all, it's all..."

Suddenly, the corners of Liu Che's eyes twitched wildly.

He had already guessed what the other person would say next without even having to say anything.

"He said it was my fault?"

The official lowered his head quickly, and only a timid voice slowly rang out, "It's not over yet..."

"What else did you say?" Liu Che's voice suddenly became louder. Even though he had just heard the news of the prince's rebellion, he felt somewhat immune to it because he had heard it before.

But this lunatic still wanted to keep the name of the Han Dynasty.

"He said, he also said that he would save the people of the Han Dynasty from the water and fire, and he swore to heaven and earth..."

"I must give in, I must give in..." When he said this, his body trembled like a sieve and it was obvious that he could not continue.

"Say!"

The official knocked his head directly to the ground and said, "Your Majesty, please forgive me for my disrespectful words. These are the words that Doctor Gongsun asked me to pass on."

"His words: I will let Your Majesty stand before all the people..."

"State your faults!"
