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

Chapter 40: Shooting oneself in the foot!

"What a good attribution of the result." Liu Che nodded.

Tan He was delighted, thinking that the emperor agreed with what he said, and was about to say something else.

suddenly!

Rumble!
A bolt of thunder suddenly sounded from the blue sky.

"What's going on?" Liu Che also frowned and looked over, "Is the sky going to rain again?"

"Your Majesty, no. It rained too much yesterday and there are still clouds today. It should be a normal bolt from the blue..." Outside, the voice of a guard soon sounded.

Liu Che shook his head secretly. Yesterday's rain made him unable to distinguish normal weather changes.

"But..." Suddenly, the guard's voice came again.

"But what?" Liu Che asked:
"Grandson Jing is offering sacrifices to the heavens outside, saying he wants to fulfill a vow!"

"Hmm?" Liu Che frowned.

"Your Majesty, this is overstepping one's authority." Tan He said hurriedly, "It should be Prince Fuling who should go and fulfill his vow."

Liu Che stretched out his hand, signaling the other party not to say anything more.

Now that the dethronement of the crown prince has become a public recognition, in his opinion, today's court meeting has basically completed the procedures, and there is no rush to reward the merits.

"How can he offer sacrifices to the heavens and fulfill his vows?"

"Your Majesty...Grandson Jing ascended the high platform and told the soldiers and civilians how he informed the heavens and sent down the rain."

"It seems that he has also written a special article, the 'Vow Returning Memorial', which is being read out. From Emperor Taizu onwards, it is full of praise."

"Oh?" Liu Che was extremely surprised.

That kid was full of insults and criticisms when he was facing me. Why was he so respectful to his ancestors?
"Your Majesty! This must be Prince Fuling fulfilling his vow to heaven!" Tan He was very anxious when he saw this.

He just said it, and Your Majesty agreed.

Now if we let Emperor Jing's grandson openly read out the "Vow Returning Letter", wouldn't that make it true?
If this is the case, one country's destiny, two rumors favored by God! Doesn't this plant a hidden danger?

There is even a chance that the Prince's Mansion will be revived at any time!

At that moment, he changed his mind and did not hesitate.

"Your Majesty, you should immediately stop him from fulfilling his vow and hand him over to Prince Fuling to fulfill his vow!"

"Nonsense!" Liu Che waved his sleeves.

"Your Majesty is just about to depose the Crown Prince." At this time, Imperial Censor Zhang Gan also immediately said, "How can the Emperor Jing's grandson go to fulfill his vow? If the Crown Prince is deposed, where will the Emperor Jing's grandson be?"

"Your Majesty, as Tan He said, the 'Vow Return' should be read out to the public by Prince Fuling. This way, it can also be confirmed that the auspicious sign yesterday was caused by Prince Fuling!"

"Fuling is only four years old!" Liu Che scolded, "He can't even recognize all the characters."

"No problem. I am willing to stand by your side. If Prince Fuling has any words he doesn't know, he can come and ask me. Besides, Prince Fuling is very intelligent and has already learned the commonly used words. It's just a few uncommon words!"

At this moment, Liu Che couldn't help but fall into silence.

How could he not know what the ministers below were thinking?

It's just a trade-off.

"Then how will Grandson Jing compensate you?"

At this moment, Gongsun Qing, who had been standing nearby, couldn't help but speak.

He had wanted no part in it.

What I don’t want to see even more is the ministers dividing up the “victory” feast!

However, he still could not suppress his anger at the blatant snatching of the credit for the rain-praying grandson of Emperor Jing. However, he knew very well that the Crown Prince's Palace was now shaky.

The grandson of Emperor Jing is in the middle of it, and he might also be in danger of destruction.

It would be better to take advantage of this opportunity to exchange some benefits in the name of auspiciousness, stay away from the court, and save the lives of everyone in the prince's palace.

After all, if he really lost the qualification to compete for the throne, then the so-called favor from heaven would not be a favor but a disaster.

If after the replacement, Your Majesty still intends to protect him, the ministers will not press him step by step on the legal grounds.

Everything is perfect in "compromise"!

"This……"

"How about making Emperor Jing's grandson a king?" Suddenly, the Chief Clan Leader Liu Changle said.

The princes and grandchildren of the emperor will be crowned kings sooner or later, so it is okay to do so in advance.

Moreover, after being crowned king, according to the rules, he must stay away from the capital.

To some extent, it completely eliminated the possibility of returning to the center. Liu Changle's move was actually all about preserving the bloodline of His Majesty.

And as he spoke.

Among the ministers, those who had not spoken out to agree with "Liu Quti", "Zhang Gan" and others before could not help but sigh in their hearts at this moment...

That's all.

"Your Majesty, it is indeed feasible to make the royal family's children kings. When the crown prince raised an army, the grandson of the Emperor Shi also participated in it."

"Only the grandson of Emperor Jing is on the Divine Platform."

The meaning of these ministers was very clear. In the entire Prince's Palace, only one grandson of Emperor Jing seemed innocent and could save all the people in the Prince's Palace who had been charged with "treason".

Of course, if you really act according to the law, don’t mention that you were at the shrine when the incident happened.

Even though they were three unknown tribes, they still suffered unexpected disasters.

But the emperor is of royal blood, and there has been no real war in Chang'an City. The people are still safe, and the emperor has not yet shown any real anger. How could this be possible?

"That's fine..."

Finally, Liu Che nodded slowly, and in his mind, he recalled the conversation between him and Liu Ju yesterday.

After all, he was the legitimate son and the eldest son, and he once placed great hopes on him.

According to what these ministers said, Liu Jing "voluntarily gave up" the title favored by heaven and gave the credit for praying for rain to "Yao".

In this way, the prince's lineage will completely cut off the possibility of returning to the center.

But correspondingly, the prince's rebellion could be reduced to a small matter, and by making Liu Jing a king, they could be kept away from Chang'an completely.

It's the best of both worlds.

But will the emperor's grandson take a step back and agree to the ministers?
Liu Che didn't know that he was already old, and because of the conversation with the prince yesterday and the fact that he had not rested in the hall all night, his mind was in a mess. He didn't know how to deal with the prince now!

"Forget it, let Fuling go..."

"promise!"

……

at the same time.

Liu Jing stood on the high platform, and at this moment, the "Fulfilling Vow" had already been opened by himself.

The first half of the article I wrote.

From Liu Bang to Empress Lü, to Emperors Wen and Jing, we have already learned half of it.

The soldiers and civilians below nodded their heads as they listened. Since the day when Emperor Taizu Gao founded the country, the inheritance of the Han Dynasty has never been smooth sailing.

Just as he was about to continue reading, he was also thinking about how to connect Jianzhang Palace with this place...

Sudden.

"stop!"

At the Jianzhang Palace, the censor Zhang Gan walked in the front, and beside him was a little kid of four or five years old.

At this time, all the ministers also came out one after another, with Liu Che far behind them.

"Yes, Your Majesty! Yes, Your Majesty!"

The soldiers here had already discovered it early.

He kept shouting and was very excited.

For the soldiers and civilians of the Han Dynasty, the name of Emperor Liu Che has been resounding for more than fifty years!

It is like a god standing high in the sky!
How can I not be excited when I see his true self at this moment?

Just when Liu Jing was feeling a stir and was worrying that you wouldn't come, he saw Zhang Gan hurriedly approaching.

"Grandson Jing, His Majesty has ordered that the Vow Memorial should be given to Prince Fuling to read."

There was no explanation, only a faint sneer.

Below, the soldiers and civilians who were watching were all stunned.

He immediately thought of something and his expression suddenly became angry.

"According to the calculations of the witches around your majesty, the rain yesterday was not caused by Grandson Jing at the Divine Platform, but by Prince Fuling in the deep palace, who moved the heavens."

Zhang Gan said this with a red face and a calm heart.

"What did you say? Not the grandson of Emperor Jing?"

"What a joke! Didn't they say that Emperor Jing was praying for rain at the God's Terrace?"

"What are you doing now? Stealing credit?"

The crowd exclaimed in surprise, and Zhang Gan's face changed.

But he didn't expect that the soldiers below would be so indignant?
You have to know that these are the Qimen Army and Yulin Guards in the camp, as well as the Yulin orphans in Shanglin Garden.

As for the common people, there is nothing to be afraid of. They are just people who followed the prince to rebel. Sooner or later, they will be killed by a knife.

But just the thought of arousing the resentment of his orphans was enough to make him tremble with fear.

"quiet!"

"This is calculated by the Supreme Witch. Not everyone who is on the altar can pray for rain!"

Zhang Gan shouted.

Then he looked at Liu Jing and lowered his voice, "Grandson Jing, step back and maybe you can be crowned king! The Crown Prince's Palace can also be preserved."

Liu Jing narrowed his eyes and suddenly smiled.

He recalled what Master Shi De had said to him last night. Was he really going to be crowned king?

However, he said that he would rather be a marquis than a king.

Let’s not worry about these for now. Liu Jing stared at the "Vow Return" in his hand and laughed secretly in his heart. Is this a merit or a fault? Do you really know?
and also……

Liu Jing looked at Liu Fuling again. Speaking of that auspicious tortoise last time, was it also them who tricked this unlucky child?

Who asked Liu Fuling to recite the four lines of poetry above?

Liu Jing looked at Zhang Gan, "Are you really going to let him come?"

Zhang Gan saw that Liu Jing was showing signs of relenting, and nodded quickly, "This is the order of His Majesty!"

"is it?"

Liu Jing looked into the distance, thought for a moment, and made a decision, "But he can't read."

"Prince Fuling is naturally intelligent and has already learned the commonly used characters." Zhang Gan said with a smile, "What's more, I can help him recognize the characters."

Liu Jing put away the "Vow Fulfillment" in his hand and said coldly, "Get out of here. I'll watch from above and let him read it."

Zhang Gan's expression suddenly changed.

“Otherwise…” Liu Jing pointed at the clouds that had not yet dissipated in the sky, “Heaven’s wrath!”

"You can deceive your superiors and subordinates, but you cannot deceive the true God."

"This……"

Zhang Gan turned around and looked behind him.

Feeling uncertain, he could only quietly pass a message to the person next to him, asking him to pass the message to His Majesty.

After hearing this from a distance, Liu Che hesitated for a moment and then nodded slightly.

When Zhang Gan got the news, he gritted his teeth.

"Well! I'll just watch from the bottom of the stage... You need to stand behind Prince Fuling."

Liu Jing sneered in his heart, but his face showed indignation.

"This was your idea!"
