I, the prince, only want to be deposed.

Chapter 139 Discovering Huadian, the real enemy behind the scenes!

"Oh."

However, after hearing this, Liu Ju just said indifferently, then smiled and said,

"Cousin, it's getting late. I've been traveling a lot lately and I'm a little sleepy. Why don't we..."

"Yes, yes, yes, Your Highness, please rest early. I will come to visit you tomorrow."

Seeing this, Liu Guang finally stopped talking, greeted Liu Ju, and turned around to leave.

So he returned to the palace of King Lu.

Queen Shi was waiting in the hall. When she saw Liu Guang, she immediately came over with a cup of tea.

"Gentleman, how is it?"

"There is no need to mention this matter again."

Liu Guang sat down and drank a sip of tea, then shook his head and said,

"Although the prince seems to have no grudge against your Shi family, when I told him about Wanjun's recent affairs, the prince's reaction was very cold. It is obvious that he has never taken Wanjun seriously."

"If you ask me, this matter shouldn't be mentioned today!"

"If you hadn't begged me repeatedly, and I felt sorry for Wanjun, I would never have done this."

"You know what the prince said when he ordered Wanjun to be sent back to the Shi family. It was your Shi family that pushed back the prince's marriage. The prince not only did not bear a grudge but also gave you a way out. He has done his utmost."

"Now Wanjun has become like this, it is also your own fault, the Shi family. You deserve it."

"But you still hold on to a glimmer of hope, hoping that the Crown Prince will be soft-hearted and take Wanjun away. Does that mean that the Crown Prince should endure the humiliation you, the historians, have suffered in the past just because he is soft-hearted?"

"Don't forget, the prince is the heir to the throne of the Han Dynasty, the future emperor!"

"You are playing with fire and getting burned!"

"Besides, I am more certain today that the Crown Prince is not a soft-hearted person. What he told your Shi family was no joke. If you continue to be stubborn, the fate of your Shi family will be the same as those famous families in Lu that disappeared overnight. Don't blame me for disregarding our relationship as husband and wife and drawing a clear line between you and the Shi family!"

"..."

After hearing this, Shi finally dared not say anything more, and hurriedly stepped forward and gently stroked Liu Guang's back, saying,
"Gentleman, calm down. This matter is my fault for being short-sighted."

"I was soft-hearted and biased towards my mother's family because of the relationship. If my mother and brother and sister-in-law ask for help again in the future, I will never agree to it again, and I will never dare to embarrass you again."

"This is it."

Liu Guang let out a breath and nodded slightly.
"I'm not saying your two brothers are short-sighted and stupid!"

“You should know that there are many people in this world who add icing on the cake, but only those who help others in times of need will be remembered.”

"Why did they insist on moving to Chang'an before? Wasn't it to gamble for an opportunity to help the Shi family make further progress? Since they had already decided to become gamblers, why didn't they dare to gamble big? But they hesitated and missed the good opportunity to help in times of need. In the process, they also completely ruined the future of the Shi family. It was really stupid."

"Now they feel regretful, what have they done earlier?"

"Especially that Shi Hong. Wasn't the price of one leg enough to teach him a lesson? He still can't see the situation clearly until today. Fortunately, he didn't enter the court, otherwise your family would have been exhausted to death by him!"

……

These days, there is basically no entertainment activity at night except drinking and making love.

But Liu Ju had already issued a ban on drinking, and had not yet found a female companion who could meet his needs.

So after returning to my room, I could only lie on the bed and use random thoughts to help me fall asleep.

As he thought about it, Liu Ju unconsciously thought of Shi Wanjun again.

In fact, he knew it in his heart.

Women of this era, especially those from prominent families, had no autonomy in matters of love and marriage. Most of them were tools of marriage for families to exchange benefits.

So, no matter what excuses were made before.

But later on, she was willing to be a slave.

It is definitely not Shi Wanjun who can make the decision. The people who really make the decision are her parents, or her grandparents.

Therefore, Liu Ju did not have any resentment towards her.

Even if what Liu Guang had just told him was true, he would still feel a little sympathy for the girl.

of course.

If what Liu Guang said was false... then the feud will be over from now on!

Whether it was Prince Liu Guang of Lu or the historians, he would be too lazy to take the initiative to cause trouble in the future, but if something really happened, he would not mind standing idly by or adding insult to injury when necessary.

When the time comes, don’t tell him, “I treated you to dinner before.” I don’t want to fall for it!
But speaking of it.

Is Shi Wanjun going to be single for the rest of her life?

That's a bit of a waste.

Liu Ju remembered that there seemed to be a sentence on the Internet in later generations that said:
“Don’t let a good girl live down, don’t waste a bad girl.”

Liu Ju was a person who hated waste. Even though he was now the crown prince, he still kept the good habit of "Clean Plate Campaign". It was not easy for farmers to grow crops.

Is it easy for others to give birth to a beautiful daughter and raise her healthy to this age?
of course.

Liu Ju is just a big talker, so just think about these things in your mind.

After all, this era is different from later generations. Not only are there no effective family planning tools, but women also attach different importance to chastity... Although the Han Dynasty did not have a serious virgin complex and remarriage was not uncommon, it was still not to the point where you had to make reservations at the kindergarten.

Therefore, unless the female companion is the kind of person who can “get what you want”.

He still had some burden in his heart, at least he didn't want to ruin someone else's life because of his momentary selfish desires.

"Speaking of which, although there are no brothels these days, there are still some prostitutes in brothels."

"But prostitutes are usually more open-minded. After returning to Beijing this time, do you want to..."

"Hey! Why didn't I think of it earlier? I missed it!"

"Li Yannian's sister who is said to be the most beautiful in the country... When I first traveled through time, she hadn't entered the palace yet, and she was not very old. Why didn't I think of intercepting her earlier? If this had succeeded, Li Guangli would not have had the chance to become the Second General, Li Ji would not have had the chance to debauch the harem, the fifth prince Liu Bo would not have had the chance to be born, and the Li family would not have had the chance to become a hidden danger to my Wei family."

"Oh yes, there will be another Lady Gouyi Zhao next. She will give birth to the Sixth Prince Liu Fuling, whose pregnancy time is the same as Emperor Yao's. This is my biggest hidden danger."

"How about intercepting this?"

"It seems that it is not the right time yet. My father brought her into the palace sixteen years ago. At that time, Madam Gouyi was only in her teens...which means that Madam Gouyi may have just been born now."

"And there is something very wrong with this Lady Gouyi."

"Not to mention that she was found by my father under the guidance of the 'Qi-Seeker', her hand, which was said to have been clenched into a fist since birth, was easily opened by my father, and a small jade hook was found in her hand."

"Even the fact that Liu Fuling was born after fourteen months of pregnancy is quite strange..."

"I feel that if my father is not cuckolded, then this Lady Gouyi lied about her pregnancy and conspired with others to come up with this trick to deceive my father."

"Now that I think about it carefully, this Lady Gouyi might have been plotting against me from the beginning..."

"However, the history books only mention that the person involved in this incident was an unknown fortune teller..."

"Speaking of which, in history, after I died, my grandson, Emperor Xuan of Han, Liu Xun, who may never appear again, was imprisoned in Chang'an Prison. There was also a fortune teller who claimed to have seen the emperor's aura in prison, which led Emperor Liu Che to order a thorough investigation of the prison and execute all prisoners regardless of the severity of their crimes."

"If it weren't for a man named Bing Ji guarding the prison gate, Liu Xun would have been executed at that time, and there would be no Emperor Xuan of Han."

"So, could the person who led Lady Gouyi out and the person who nearly killed Liu Xun be the same person?"

"If it is the same person, then can I assume that this fortune teller is the real instigator of the witchcraft disaster?"

"And this person's methods are extremely sophisticated!"

"Not only did he kill me, he also wanted me to have no descendants. Even if Liu Fuling's birth was flawed, he would have wiped out the roots of the Liu family of the Han Dynasty!"

"When he wanted to use the 'Emperor's Qi' to kill Liu Xun, my father had already cleared out all the officials involved in the witchcraft disaster. This means that this fortune teller, as the instigator of all the troubles, actually avoided all the disasters and lived until the day my father died..."

"This person who sees the weather is... the real enemy behind the scenes of me and even the Liu family of the Han Dynasty?!"

Realizing this problem, Liu Ju suddenly sat up from the bed, and the sleepiness that had been gradually coming over him was instantly swept away.

This discovery is so crucial!

It is no longer just a question of whether he can survive the witchcraft disaster, but a question of whether the Han Dynasty will be usurped by someone else!

Liu Ju even suspected that Huo Guang also discovered this problem later, but was intimidated by Liu Che's character. He knew that even if some things were problematic, anyone who told them would only end up dead, so he buried the secret in Maoling together with Liu Che.

That is why he always protected Liu Xun. After Liu Che's death, he took power and reused Bing Ji, who saved Liu Xun.

Therefore, Emperor Zhao of Han, Liu Fuling, was already twenty years old when he died and left no offspring.

Therefore, after Liu Fuling's death, Huo Guang first supported Haihunhou to the throne, and then deposed him within a month and replaced him with Liu Xun...

"..."

Liu Ju felt that he might be close to the truth of the matter.

I just want to confirm it. Further verification is needed until the unknown fortune teller is found!
"How do we do this?"

Liu Ju slowly lay back down, feeling mixed emotions.

After a long time.

"Hu-hu-"

"I'm always thinking about intercepting Liu Che. I'm such a filial son..."

"call--"

"..."

The next morning.

Liu Ju slept until almost noon before getting up.

As a result, he received another unexpected news as soon as he opened the door, and this news was reported by Huo Guang himself, who had been hiding from him for many days:
"Your Highness, Shi Wanjun, who wanted to go to South Vietnam with you, committed suicide by jumping into the river last night..."
