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

Chapter 41 Shuzi!

As Liu Fuling came on stage, Liu Jing, who had just recited the "Vow Returning Letter", stood beside him.

"What's going on? Why did he really become Prince Fuling? We were here when Grandson Jing successfully prayed for rain at the Divine Platform."

"You still don't understand. The prince is rebelling. There is nothing we can do about it."

"No matter how helpless you are, you can't take away the merit of heaven!"

"Alas, this is a matter of life and death, save your life first. Would you dare to disagree if it were you? I'm afraid that His Majesty also intends to protect the prince, so we can't let the grandson of the emperor Jing really take the credit for the success of the rain prayer. Otherwise, the ministers will hold the prince responsible for the rebellion, and will His Majesty really want to execute the prince's palace?"

below.

The Qimen Army and Yulin Army who were able to be here were basically the sons of meritorious generals, and they could not hide the scene before them at all.

However, the people in the rear who lacked channels for information were skeptical. When combined with the legend that Liu Fuling was born fourteen months earlier, discussions became even more heated.

"quiet!"

Zhang Gan listened to the discussion of the people around him, and his face looked a little strange. Today's work may seem like stealing credit, but it must be done.

Now that the facts have been established today, any doubts will eventually disappear.

"You can start now, Prince Fuling." Zhang Gan reminded hurriedly.

Liu Jing tore off the opening page first. After all, his name was on it and it went straight to the point - it was not good to let him see it.

Liu Jing understood the sudden change after thinking about it.

All the ministers and even His Majesty wanted to take a step back.

Give up the credit and you can save the Prince's Palace!
But...how is this possible?

Not to mention that he wouldn't give in at all.

From the beginning to the end, he didn't even admit that what the Prince's Palace did this time was wrong!
Therefore, not only did he not retreat, but he continued to fight head-on!
……

At this moment, Liu Fuling's voice had already sounded, and he still remembered to instruct, just read it from beginning to end.

[It has been one hundred and twenty years since Emperor Taizu Gao established the Han Dynasty...]

[After the Battle of Baideng, the Han Dynasty was weak, while the Xiongnu was strong... I had no choice but to start the plan of marrying a princess of the Han Dynasty to the Xiongnu... Even though the Han Dynasty was so weak, the Xiongnu invaded our territory and killed our people time and time again...]

【Therefore, the Han Dynasty and the Xiongnu cannot coexist! 】

When the young voice sounded, the people below all fell silent...

They had just heard this passage.

But the ministers who had just arrived and Emperor Liu Che were hearing it for the first time.

Immediately, Liu Che nodded repeatedly, and everyone, including the ministers he had promoted, agreed.

"What Emperor Jing's grandson said is right... The Han Dynasty and the Xiongnu have always been irreconcilable!" Someone among the ministers whispered.

"Bullshit, it's Prince Fuling now!" an official quickly reminded.

All of a sudden, all the ministers changed their tone.

At the same time, in order to hear clearly, they followed His Majesty to the stairs on the other side.

Liu Fuling's voice continued to sound.

【It is a pity that the Han Dynasty was descended from Emperor Taizu Gao, and experienced the chaos of the Lü family... Fortunately, good ministers and loyal generals protected us... Emperor Wen ascended the throne... Since the Spring and Autumn Period, the most virtuous ruler was Emperor Xiaowen of the Han Dynasty. Emperor Wen was virtuous in his respectfulness, frugality, love for the people, and lenient policies! 】

When he read this, he didn't recognize some of the words, and Liu Jing pointed them out one by one.

And this moment.

Some ministers beside Liu Che seemed to recall what their ancestors had said when they were young: under the rule of Emperor Xiaowen, they would not have to worry about their entire family being exterminated at any time, nor would they have to worry about witchcraft, and everything would be so peaceful, and they all fell silent.

Even among the common people, some elderly people recalled the past and began to sigh and miss it.

In coordination with Liu Fuling's subsequent voice.

The picture scroll of the Han Dynasty from seventy or eighty years ago seems to be slowly unfolding.
[Only Emperor Xiaowen knew that one hundred gold pieces were the property of ten middle-class families, so he abandoned the terrace and saved one hundred gold pieces... The curtains he used were all without embroidery... No gold, silver, copper or tin was used in the construction of the mausoleum...]

[Emperor Wen loved the people... encouraged them to cultivate agriculture and sericulture, reduced rents and taxes, abolished land taxes, and continued through Emperor Jing... until the beginning of your reign. The treasury was full of surplus wealth; the money in the capital amounted to millions; the grain in the granary was piled up one after another, overflowing and accumulating outside, becoming rotten and inedible; the people had herds of cattle and horses in the fields..."

【Therefore, the rise of the Han Dynasty is the rise of the people! 】

"it is good!"

At this moment, someone suddenly shouted "good", and the ragged people here had bright eyes that were originally gloomy.

"Emperor Wen is a good emperor!"

"Such a frugal emperor is rare in ancient and modern times, but why..."

"Shh!"

……

At this moment, there was something wrong with Liu Che's expression.

He couldn't help but look up and look to the side, "Grandfather was so lenient back then?"

The ministers were all cowardly and dared not speak.

In fact, there was no need for the ministers around him to answer, Liu Che himself knew it better than anyone else.

So, he murmured again:
"My ancestors had their own responsibilities and duties, and I also have my own mission! How can anyone in the world understand?"

really!

Only Liu Fuling's voice continued to be heard.

[Your Majesty, you have the ambition to dominate the world... When you first ascended the throne, you made drastic changes to the political system... You only promote people based on their talents... You wiped out the Xiongnu and avenged the previous humiliation! You conquered the east and the west and expanded the territory! ]

[Until now... the Xiongnu are weak, and our Han Dynasty is strong! ]

[If there is any merit in the Han Dynasty that will be passed down to future generations, it will be your Majesty who will be the first to do so! ]

……

"it is good!"

This time, it was the ministers around Liu Che who immediately praised him.

After the previous slip of the tongue, everyone was very tactful this time.

"Your Majesty, you see, this is what Prince Fuling really said. With Prince Fuling's words, your Majesty's life's achievements will also be recorded in history books, passed down to future generations, and admired by future generations!" "Your Majesty's contributions to the Han Dynasty are testified by the sun and the moon, and the heavens can bear witness!"

now.

Even Liu Che couldn't help but laugh. Just now, when he heard about how wealthy the Han Dynasty was when he first ascended the throne, he actually felt something was wrong.

But after hearing the next paragraph, he realized that he had spent his money wisely, and not squandered it like those unjust and incompetent emperors in history books.

A strong man is strong because of himself!
It was he who made the Han Dynasty stand up straight!

"Grandson Jing's words are very much to my liking."

Liu Che's old eyes narrowed into slits, and he stroked his beard involuntarily.

Tan He, who was standing next to him, saw this and quickly reminded him quietly.

"Your Majesty, it's not the grandson of Emperor Jing, but the prince of Fuling."

Liu Che was stunned for a moment, but quickly said, "It's all the same, all the same."

Seeing this, Tan He dared not say much.

At this time, Liu Fuling scratched his head on the stage, as if he was afraid to continue reading.

"Prince Fuling, recite, recite!"

Below, Zhang Gan had been paying attention to His Majesty's expression.

Seeing that His Majesty was extremely happy at this moment, he could not suppress his excitement. But Prince Fuling suddenly stopped reading, which made him very anxious.

"But……"

Liu Fuling blinked his eyes, although he didn't recognize some of the words and needed Liu Jing beside him to point them out.

But he could see the following words clearly.

However, seeing Zhang Gan anxiously urging him below, he looked up again and found that Liu Jing, who reminded him, had a smiling face from beginning to end. At that moment, he nodded to show that he understood.

[However, all wise kings in history have made mistakes.]

As soon as these words came out.

In an instant, Zhang Gan's happy expression froze on his face.

He wanted to remind him, but Liu Fuling's voice had already rang out.

[Emperor Wen…also had some lazy and inefficient policies, and Emperor Jing was also young and made rash moves…]

【Therefore, Your Majesty has had this experience too! 】

wow...

As these words rang out, in an instant.

Zhang Gan's expression was trembling, and his body was out of control, he suddenly crawled towards the stage!

At this moment, he moved very quickly. He first looked at His Majesty, then noticed the expression that had frozen on his face. He turned his head again and looked at Liu Jing, who had been smiling!

Shuzi!

How dare you be so ignorant of the current situation?

Originally, their plan was very good, taking over Liu Jing's vow to heaven and letting Prince Fuling take his place. In this way, under the watchful eyes of so many people, everything was confirmed.

Then, a notice will be issued. It doesn’t matter how the people believe it, as long as the court officials believe it, it’s fine.

You don't even need to believe it, you just need to know that this is the will from above.

During this period, he thought that Liu Jing agreed and acknowledged the exchange behind it.

All he had to do was to cooperate with Prince Fuling's actions obediently. What's more, he was right below, so if anything happened, he could stop it immediately.

However, he still didn't expect it.

Grandson of Emperor Jing really cannot understand the situation clearly. Doesn't he even want the Crown Prince's Palace anymore?
What is he doing, and what good will it do you to disrupt it?
but!

There is still time. As long as I speak out to stop it and then report to His Majesty, I can take this opportunity to force Liu Jing out and then rewrite the "Vow Return" myself.

There’s still time!

After all, didn’t Prince Fuling just say something bad?
There’s still time, there’s definitely still time!

now.

After he spoke out to stop him, Liu Fuling really stopped quickly. He looked frightened and obviously knew something was wrong. He didn't dare to read any further.

Zhang Gan felt relieved, thinking that he had successfully prevented it!

But at this moment...

A voice more sonorous than Liu Fuling's childish voice rang out.

The moment it was heard, it was like thunder, making the place suddenly silent!

[Jing is a descendant of the Liu family. I have seen many mistakes of Your Majesty. Now that I have fulfilled my vow, I will inform the heavens and hope that the heavens will bear witness to it...]

[1. Worship immortality and build large-scale projects! ]

[Your Majesty now says that immortality is attainable, and you are bent on seeking immortality, and have traveled the world several times, spending a huge amount of money. Although you are rich, you are greedy for the people's money, building large-scale palaces! ]

[Emperor Xiaowen used to measure the palace he built with a hundred gold coins. How much is the palace you are building now worth? ]

[When Your Majesty ascended the throne, the national treasury accumulated millions, the people's granaries were well-fed, and the ropes used to string money were worn out. But now...]

At this moment, Liu Jing simply stopped reading the "Vow Dedication" and looked directly at the people below.

As he said before, from beginning to end.

He never thought of retreating!

Therefore, thunderous questions, one after another, have spread to all directions!
"Where is the capital's surplus wealth of one million?"

"Where is the grain in the granary that is full and piled up on the roads?"

"Where are the herds of cattle and horses on the fields?"

“How many people have starved to death?”
