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

Chapter 36 Your Majesty, please call me the Crown Prince!

At this moment.

Liu Che was not only the emperor of the Han Dynasty, but also a father who confided his true feelings to his son.

He was no longer as cruel and ruthless as before, and Liu Ju was no longer afraid of him...

As for Liu Ju, he seemed to have regrets, hopes for the country, a longed-for future, and a great wish that he wanted to fulfill until his death!

but……

Liu Ju knew one thing very well - everything will turn into its opposite when it reaches its extreme!
"Father, even if that is the case, this is not the reason for you to desire immortality, spend huge sums of money to build a large-scale project in Shanglin Garden, and worship alchemists!"

"This is not an excuse for you to employ cruel officials, create massive prisons, and implicate others!"

"This is not an excuse for your frequent wars and plundering of the people's wealth, which has led to countless people starving to death and exiles!"

this moment.

Liu Ju was indeed not like before. After his father scolded him loudly, he was speechless.

On the contrary, he found all the loopholes in the other party's words in just a moment of thought.

"Father... things are different now. You are no longer young!"

"You no longer have the bravery you had when you were young, nor do you have the ability to judge people! You no longer have the wealth and legacy left by your ancestors..."

"Have you ever gone out to look at this world and see what it has become now? Is it still the powerful man you remember?"

"Take the capital for example. Look at the sorcerers you employed and see what a disaster they have brought to Chang'an. The civil and military officials in this imperial capital can no longer serve as a role model for politicians and soldiers all over the world. It has now become a paradise for liars and fraudsters!"

"Shut up!" Liu Che stepped forward quickly and stared at Liu Ju's face.

"I know what I am doing. There is no need for you to continue to disobey me."

Liu Ju smiled casually, as if he had let go of something. He looked at Liu Che in front of him and no longer showed any cowardice.

"Father, during these years as Crown Prince, have I ever done anything wrong in state affairs?"

Liu Che was silent at first, and then waved his sleeves.

"He takes care of agriculture and sericulture, governs leniently, is prudent, and has a good reputation."

Liu Ju spoke faster and asked, "I asked the country to rest and recuperate as soon as possible, and I asked the people to have fields to cultivate, raise silkworms and pick mulberry leaves. Did I do anything wrong?"

Liu Che remained silent.

"Have I done anything illegal? It's not the illegality they framed me for, nor is it witchcraft as you think, but the Qin law that has been used since Emperor Gaozu!"

"Have I ever abused the law because of my personal feelings?"

"As the crown prince, I have to report to you, my father, even when I walk on my own straight path. Jiang Chong detained my carriage, and I still have to plead with him?"

"They can act arrogantly in front of me, the prince, and plunder the prince's mansion without any dignity at all!"

Liu Che looked at his son in front of him. He knew that the conversation between the Emperor of Han and the Prince would take place at this moment.

"It seems that you still refuse to admit your mistakes and change your ways!"

"That's right, why should I change it?" Liu Ju looked up suddenly, with a fierce look.

Liu Che was immediately furious, "You evil creature! Isn't it wrong to raise an army to rebel?"

Liu Ju sneered, "Father, how many times did I ask to see you before I started the rebellion? I even sent you a letter when I started the rebellion that day..."

Liu Ju seemed to want to prove something. "So, that was not a rebellion. That was because I was worried about the fate of the Han Dynasty, because you, my father, had fallen into the hands of treacherous people. That was because I was afraid that the foundation of our ancestors would be overturned in one day! That was because I learned the lesson of Fusu, and I wanted to restore order! Eliminate the rebellion!"

Liu Che's eyes widened, "Liu Ju!"

Liu Ju suddenly raised his head and shouted angrily in the same tone:
"Your Majesty, please call me Prince!"

The hall fell silent again. The father and son stared at each other, but neither of them was willing to step back.

Anger was brewing in Liu Che's eyes. He had never expected that this boy would be so stubborn. He had given him a chance, the template of the crown prince he wanted, and a way out. But he was still committing crimes!
At this moment, Liu Ju seemed to have faced the reality.

Suddenly, he stretched out his hand, first took off the crown that symbolized his position as crown prince, and then took off his robe.

Then, in front of Liu Che's astonished eyes, he threw it to the ground.

"Evil son, what are you doing?"

"Father, it was you who built Bowang Garden for me, it was you who gave me the power to hire teachers freely, it was you who allowed me to make friends with the best people in the world, it was you who allowed me to enrich my knowledge, it was you who allowed me to govern and implement my own policies!"

"I have my own policy, but you say it is wrong?"

"I know that you want to establish a new crown prince, a crown prince who is completely under your control. You want to train a new heir to the Han Dynasty - the so-called Yao!"

At this moment, after saying this, Liu Ju slowly turned around and walked out of the hall.

His hair was disheveled and he was without any outer clothes, as if he had been completely stripped of all his status and glory.

There was only the sound that gradually became blurred from near to far. "Well, the position of Crown Prince was originally decided by you, so you can take it back!"

"Now...are you satisfied?"

Liu Che looked at the dark hall. The figure was getting farther and farther away, gradually walking down the steps and could no longer be seen.

Liu Che slowly walked to his throne, sat down slowly, and closed his eyes.

Suddenly, he stretched out his hand to recall something, but in the end, his hand fell down...

The hall fell silent again.

……

Changle Palace.

Wei Zifu closed her eyes. She had already put on the crown and robes that symbolized the Empress of the Han Dynasty.

This dress could only be worn during sacrifices and ceremonies, but today she wanted to try it on. In front of her was the seal that symbolized the queen's status.

"The Queen, the Queen..."

At this moment, a hurried voice suddenly rang out. Queen Wei turned around, with a hint of anxiety in her eyes.

"How is it?"

From the prince raising an army, to hunting down the alchemist, to going to the Northern Army to find Ren'an, she saw everything.

A son is honored by his mother, and a mother is honored by her son!
Mother and child are inseparable.

When he heard that Juer had the upper hand, he was happy. When he heard that they were competing against each other, he was worried. It was not until Liu Quti received the imperial edict that she was completely desperate...

Until that rain, hope suddenly arose.

But he knew that the mistake had been made, everyone in Chang'an had seen it, and the ministers had been paying attention to it. Perhaps the final result would be something he would be unwilling to accept.

But she still wanted to wait for good news.

"The prince has come out, the prince has come out from Jianzhang Palace..." The palace maid who came to report said this with some surprise.

Queen Wei looked at him quickly, "How did he get out? Was he taken out?"

"I walked out by myself." replied the maid.

Queen Wei's expression suddenly softened.

But the maid suddenly remembered something and said in panic, "I just heard that he had no hair and was only wearing underwear."

when!
The seal that was tightly held in his hand fell to the ground in an instant.

"Queen!" the maid exclaimed hurriedly.

But Wei Zifu opened her eyes, a hint of sadness flashed in her eyes. She looked at the seal at her feet, not knowing how long she had been looking at it.

"I'm afraid that from today on, I am no longer the queen of this big man."

"Your Majesty..." The palace maid was extremely anxious.

Wei Zifu closed her eyes again.

"Wait for the news, wait for His Majesty's decision."

"Queen Wei, Crown Prince Wei, perhaps you will retire from court now..."

……

at the same time.

The night is dark and the sound of rain has gradually stopped.

In the camp, Liu Jing finally recovered from the state of closing his eyes.

At this moment, he had already made up his mind and wrote freely in the "Vow Deliverance" he had already written.

As my thoughts were floating, the first paragraph had already fallen.

"Heaven can bear witness to this. Jing once made a great wish: if an auspicious sign appears, he will let the emperor confess his faults in front of the people of the world!"

"Now that the rain has fallen, the people of our Han Dynasty are blessed by heaven, which is a blessing for all living beings. How can Jing not dare to speak out because he is afraid of the power of the king and the heavy etiquette and law..."

"I am writing this memorial to report the misfortunes that Your Majesty has brought upon the people in his later years, and I am offering it to Heaven!"

"On the day when Jing returns his vow, this memorial should be read out to the public, stating the king's merits and demerits, in order to pray to the heavens..."

“Blessings to the world!”
