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

Chapter 45: Cash on the Altar!
evening.

Liu Jing was escorted back to the camp, but unlike the last time, this time the soldiers were guarding outside the gate, paying attention to his every condition and ready to report to the emperor at any time.

Liu Jing sat cross-legged, thinking about his recent actions. "Fulfilling a Vow" was his future goal. He would first confess his own faults, and then move forward step by step in this direction, attacking Liu Che's bottom line!
Let Your Majesty admit your mistakes in front of all the people!
I have to say, this wish is a bit too big...

The conflict between Crown Prince Gong and Emperor Liu Che was not just a conflict about witchcraft, but a conflict about the future direction of the Han Dynasty and a conflict about their respective policies!
For an emperor, admitting that his policies and military achievements, which he was proud of throughout his life, were ultimately failures, is more painful than killing him or even forcing him to abdicate!

Especially a powerful emperor like Liu Che, who was strong in his bones and was able to hold on to power firmly after being in power for fifty years.

of course.

In history, Emperor Liu Che did issue an edict in Luntai.

The edict also contained negative words such as "I am not wise", and the military strategy for the Western Regions changed from "valuing merit" to "adhering to culture" for the first time.

Sang Hongyang's suggestion of "guarding the border in Luntai and setting up beacon towers" was even abolished.

But don't forget.

The price to pay was first the life and property of Liu Che’s eldest son and his family, as well as the Queen’s life and property!

Secondly, it was the settlement after witchcraft that affected the entire Han Dynasty court!

Anyone who participated in the "Witchcraft Incident", no matter whether you were on the side of the crown prince, the emperor, or thought you were neutral, was massacred in the end.

And this is not the end...

It was not until Li Guangli and the Han army, which they had assembled with great effort, were defeated and surrendered to the Huns that the "Luntai Edict" was issued!
And this time.

The Witchcraft and Poisoning Incident did not occur, tens of thousands of people did not die in Chang'an, ministers in the court and the country did not face a reckoning, and even the final war against the Huns did not begin.

Liu Che was still confident at that time. It was extremely difficult for him to admit his mistakes when he had no regrets and had never tasted the bitter fruit.
and so.

Liu Jing was not planning to eat a lot of fat in one breath, but to take it step by step.

Boom!
The lotus gold coin in his hand suddenly leaped into the sky and fell into Liu Jing's hands again.

The golden light shines only for a moment.

And then disappeared completely.

Only the last ancient bronze word comes into view!
quasi!
……

Under the divine platform.

Gongsun Qing was waiting here early.

Tan He packed up everything, and the one who came to see him off was a eunuch from the Jianzhang Palace. Looking at the building which was over fifty feet high, Tan He was confused at the moment. He was not worried about what would happen after going up, but was only worried about how he would curse the grandson of Emperor Jing after going up!
"Master, you can stay there for one night without any worries. When you come down tomorrow, you will still be His Majesty's most trusted Hu Wu."

At this moment, the eunuch said something in a low voice, and Tan He was stunned.

He wanted to ask, but Gongsun Qing in front of him had a sharp look in his eyes, so he didn't dare to speak nonsense.

Seeing this, the eunuch next to him just hid behind him and continued to whisper: "The grandson of Emperor Jing will definitely be cursed!"

Immediately, Tan He's eyes lit up.

That's right!

Curses can be used according to the person.

But can celestial phenomena really change because of people?
After settling in my heart.

He immediately straightened his chest and raised his head, heading towards the sky above the altar.

……

Inside Jianzhang Palace.

"Your Majesty, the clouds have cleared and the moon is shining. There is wind but no rain. I'm afraid it won't rain tonight..."

"Your Majesty, it is now covered with clouds and fog, the bright moon is not visible, and there is wind but no rain..."

"Your Majesty... Tan He has been at the Shenmingtai since this afternoon and has stayed there for three hours. He has already started to perform rituals."

"Your Majesty, Grandson Jing, please sit still. It's fine for now..."

……

As the sounds came one after another.

Huo Guang, Jin Midi, Sang Hongyang and other inner court ministers all raised their heads and looked forward.

Liu Che turned a deaf ear to the words he heard. At this moment, his eyes were all fixed on the "Fulfilling a Vow" in front of him. He had been like this since he came back in the afternoon. Now he checked it again word by word, as if he wanted to see through these words what the purpose of the writer was!
However, the more he watched, the angrier he became, and the more he couldn't stop...

"Who ordered this? The crown prince? He was imprisoned in the Zongzheng Mansion and didn't dare to come out, so they let him come? He didn't even dare to send his eldest son!"

"Are you asking me to recognize a consumable and force me to abdicate?"

Listening is one thing, reading is another. Liu Che looked at the words and felt the blood in his body surging faster, causing his body, which had long been dry, cold and old, to start heating up.

He couldn't stand what he saw!
Especially that sentence: Your Majesty has been a teacher for more than 30 years, and the population of the world has been reduced by half!

"Your Majesty, please calm down. After all, it was Grandson Jing's words that offended the emperor. Why should Your Majesty be bothered by it? The most important thing at the moment is the celestial phenomenon that Grandson Jing mentioned!"

"However, looking at the weather tonight, I'm afraid it won't go as planned."

Only then did Liu Che shift his gaze from the "Fulfilling a Vow", but he still held it tightly in his hand and looked up at the sky through the window.

I saw the bright moon, half covered by clouds, hanging on the branches, a peaceful and auspicious scene.

“It was like this before it rained!”

For some reason, Liu Che felt a little nervous when he saw the clouds.

He could only tell himself silently, "Last time praying for rain was just a coincidence after all. How could the heaven help him if he offended the majesty of heaven this time?"...

at the same time.

"Before I came back, I didn't know how serious the situation was. After I came back, I found out that there was such a lunatic in the Prince's Palace?"

Li Guangli was shocked and angry. Since he returned to Jianzhang Palace today, he was greeted with a wake-up call at the first meeting. The words the other party said to him almost told the emperor and even the ministers that he was a good-for-nothing?
"General, why are you so angry? After today, it is uncertain whether these lunatics will still be around. I think Tan He will definitely die violently in the camp if he does this. It is just like the saying that those who bring trouble upon themselves will not be spared."

"Are you so sure?" Li Guangli looked at the figure in front of him, it was Liu Quti, "Does Tan He really have the ability to curse that kid?"

The latter stroked his beard and smiled, "It's not certain whether there is a curse or not, but looking at the sky tonight, isn't what Emperor Jing said just empty talk? If Tan He comes down from the altar tomorrow, Emperor Jing will not be able to escape the disaster..."

"But..." At this point, he suddenly smiled, "The best case scenario tonight is that Emperor Jing's grandson has been cursed by a witchcraft curse."

Li Guangli was puzzled. "What nonsense are you talking about? It would be best if both sides were not involved. In this way, witchcraft would be useless and the grandson of Emperor Jing praying for rain would be a coincidence. The credibility of the rumor about Yao would naturally be reduced. Just based on the fact that the prince raised an army, he can be convicted. Let them fight each other and we can just watch."

"Wrong, wrong, wrong! The general has been on the battlefield for a long time, but he likes to be straightforward." Liu Quti pointed in a certain direction and said with a mysterious smile: "The best case scenario is that Tan He comes down, and the grandson of Emperor Jing is cursed, but in the end, His Majesty finds out that it is a false curse..."

"Huh? Fake curse?" Li Guangli became more confused.

"There are real curses, and there are naturally false curses. The Crown Prince used witchcraft to curse Your Majesty, so it is naturally a real curse. Something will definitely happen to the Grandson of the Emperor Jing tonight, so it is best if it is a false curse."

"Of course, it doesn't matter if it's a real curse. Anyway, General, you can watch. Grandson Jing will definitely be doomed tonight!"

"What a pity! If he had been on the altar, in front of His Majesty, and let Tan He curse him, he might have had a chance to survive. But he had to spend this night... hehe... the truth can be false, and the false can become true."

Li Guangli could not understand what Liu Quti said at all. He felt that it was going around in circles and confused his mind.

Just as I was about to ask for clarification, suddenly...

Boom!

Crack!

Instantly.

The two of them looked up in astonishment almost at the same time, and then they hurriedly ran out of the temple and looked towards the sky...

For a moment, horror gathered in the eyes of the two, and they were completely stunned!
……

At the same time, Liu Che, Huo Guang, Jin Midi and others who had been waiting all rushed out of the hall and stood on the steps...

If one were to look down from the sky, at this moment, the Qimen Army, the Yulin Guards camp, the Jianzhang Palace, and even the entire Shanglin Garden, all had their gazes focused on one place, with shock that could not be concealed...

Above the sky, dark clouds gathered again at some unknown time.

The clouds collided and electric arcs moved, as if there was a thunder dragon hidden in it, about to roar!
"It's raining! It looks like it's going to rain again!"

"Is it really as Grandson Jing said? The wish has been fulfilled, the sky is surging, thunder is falling, and it wants to kill the evildoer!"

"Then is the 'Vow Fulfillment' in line with the will of heaven? Your Majesty, is it true..."

"..."

Liu Che could not hear the whispers around him at all.

But at this moment, he couldn't help but think of these...

"Impossible! Impossible!"

Liu Che cried out to the sky, feeling the heavy rain pouring down again from the gloomy sky...

Wow!
"Your Majesty, it's just raining, just raining..."

He hasn't finished speaking yet.

"boom!"

But there was a flash of lightning in the clouds, and suddenly a bolt of thunder streaked across the sky, illuminating half the sky!
"Although there is thunder, it is very far away. This is a normal weather phenomenon. After all, it rained yesterday." Sang Hongyang was still comforting.

Sure enough, the thunder only flashed in the distant sky, as if it struck the mountains and fields, shaking the sky.

Liu Che finally felt relieved...

"No, the lightning is getting closer..."

Suddenly, someone spoke.

next moment!
"Be careful, Your Majesty!"

Liu Che only felt that his eyes went dark, and then he was blocked by someone.

Suddenly, he felt the clouds flash again, a dazzling light appeared in front of his eyes, and the roar in his ears continued!

boom!
boom!
boom!
Three consecutive sounds made his eardrums emit a sharp buzzing sound!

At this moment.

The largest beam of lightning was still flashing in the clouds.

But for some reason, there was a ray of light that seemed to be attracted by something and jumped straight down from the clouds.

Then suddenly rushed towards somewhere!

That was the closest and highest altar to them!
boom!
A golden bronze hand holding a copper bowl suddenly shone brightly in the night sky!

At this moment, it seemed as if a god had really descended upon the altar.

The lightning fox surrounds...

The golden roof is dazzling!
