I, the prince, only want to be deposed.

Chapter 165 Liu Che was anxious, he was anxious!

Liu Ju naturally never thought of the possibility of "keeping the death secret".

Knowing the direction of history, he had already determined that Liu Che would live to the age of 69. It was impossible for him to die so easily before that, let alone be angered to death by himself.

Naturally, Huo Guang and Sima Qian would not say such words to him.

After all, Liu Che is Liu Ju's biological father. If anyone says something like a curse to him, it would be fine if he is right, but if he is wrong, it would be tantamount to seeking death.

Therefore, when Liu Ju received the three imperial edicts, he had only one thought:
"Liu Che was anxious. He was anxious."

Judging from the speed of information dissemination in that era, the reason why Liu Che was anxious was definitely not because of the "burning of books and drowning of prescriptions" and "going to the countryside to perform".

Because these two events happened not long ago, the relevant memorials could not be delivered to Chang'an even if they were sent urgently by a force of 800 miles, let alone ordering an envoy to deliver the imperial edict.

Then there is only one thing:

When Liu Che learned that he had become an immortal, he became anxious.

"Father, are you so anxious now?"

Liu Ju thought to himself,

"Then wait for the relevant memorials on 'burning books and drowning prescriptions' and 'going to the countryside to perform' to be delivered."

"Then you will be pleasantly surprised to find that everyone in the world already knows that those alchemists and wizards are liars, and your previous blind faith in them has become a joke in the eyes of many people."

"For someone as conceited and shameless as you, it would be even harder to accept, right?"

"So, how will you deal with me after I return to Beijing this time?"

Liu Ju was neither too optimistic nor too pessimistic about the outcome of this matter.

He was not sure how Liu Che would ultimately react.

In fact, he was also conducting an experiment this time to find a definite answer for himself.

Just as he had thought before, this "blessing of time travel" might be just like the "suicide insurance" setting in later online novels, a completely misleading trap:
In fact, this thing will never arrive!
The more he did things that would get him deposed by Emperor Liu Che, the more uncontrollable factors would arise to prevent him from being deposed.

The position of the crown prince will only become more and more stable, and history will change with his actions. Naturally, the disaster of witchcraft will never happen again.

And if he does nothing, or is timid, he will still be doomed to die from witchcraft...

As to whether what he thought was right or not.

It depends on the reactions of Liu Che and all parties after he returns to Beijing this time.

If Liu Che "raised him high and put him down gently" again, or if he was unexpectedly backstabbed, it would not bring him much harm, but would further consolidate his position as the crown prince, and even further bridge the gap between him and Liu Che.

That means his speculation is correct, and he has found the loophole of "time travel blessings"!

From then on he only had to exploit the loophole.

You can do whatever you want to do, never have to be timid, never have to look ahead or behind, and you will always be invincible!

"Your Highness, the carriage is ready, we can set off."

Huo Guang's voice came from outside the door at the right time.

"Here I come, back to Beijing."

Liu Ju pushed the door open and walked out. The warm sunlight sprinkled on his body, making him feel comfortable.

……

Chang'an, the General's Mansion.

"What did you say? The prince became an immortal?!"

Wei Qing stood up suddenly, with an expression of shock on his face.

Although Liu Che forcibly suppressed the matter after receiving Liu Ju's memorial to the immortal in Ganquan Palace some time ago, after fermenting for some time, news from Donglai gradually reached Chang'an.

After all, this is no small matter and it is impossible to suppress it completely. Even Emperor Liu Che could not prevent the spread of news among the people.

"I heard this myself. Your Highness rode on clouds in public in Donglai, retrieved unique fairy wine from the fairyland, and even cut himself in half in front of tens of thousands of people and came back to life."

The servant bent down and told him all the news he had heard.

"Tens of thousands of people?"

This was no small matter, but Wei Qing was still skeptical. "Who told you that?"

"General, this news has spread throughout Chang'an. It is said that it first came from a merchant from Qi, and everyone thought it was a joke. But later, people from Qi and Donglai confirmed the story, and it spread throughout Chang'an."

The servant replied quickly.

"Could this be true..."

Upon hearing this, Wei Qing fell silent, his brows furrowed tightly, and he thought to himself:

"If it is true, this news must have been passed from the people to Chang'an a long time ago..."

"Then your majesty must have received the news long ago, but chose to keep it secret?"

"How does your majesty view this matter to make such a decision?"

Thinking about this in his mind, Wei Qing gradually realized the seriousness of the matter. He knew too well what kind of person Liu Che was.

At the same time, he still had some doubts about Liu Ju's "immortality":
"Being cut in half can bring him back to life..."

"If that's true, then wouldn't Juer be immortal?"

"I don't know if Ju'er can go to the fairyland. If he can, it's better not to come back. It's best to leave immediately and never come back."

"The only pity is that Zi'er had not yet married and had no children..."

Bowang Garden.

"Ha, His Highness has become an immortal?!"

The prince's horseman Guo Zhen's voice was distorted, and he shouted with bulging eyes,

"Your Highness left me behind on this trip, and then suddenly became an immortal. How could this be possible?"

"I think this can only mean that you may be an obstacle to His Highness's attainment of immortality. His Highness could have achieved immortality a long time ago, but it is because of you that it has been delayed until now."

The Prince's Secretary Ji Ping said sarcastically with his old eyes drooping.

He was also extremely shocked about this matter, but Yin and Yang Guo Zhen had become accustomed to it and could just talk about it without any hesitation.

"Guo Xianma, Ji Zhanshi, what are you talking about? His Highness is coming back?"

Yi Shuo happened to pass by and heard the two people mention "Your Highness". Seeing their startled expressions, he stopped unconsciously and asked curiously.

After being assigned to the Prince's Mansion by Emperor Liu Che, Yi Shuo was actually demoted.

Originally, she was an imperial physician in the palace, but when she arrived at the Prince's Mansion, she lost the title of imperial physician and became Liu Ju's personal physician.

But Yi Shuo didn't care.

First of all, her salary is still less than 300 stones. Secondly, there are not so many high-ranking officials and concubines in the Prince's Mansion. She does not need to be as restrained and repressed as before. She also has the opportunity to improve her skills by following Liu Ju. Isn't this an improvement?
The only pity is that I was not able to travel with Liu Ju this time, and missed the opportunity to appreciate Liu Ju's superb medical skills.

"The Righteous Doctor."

Guo Zhen and Ji Ping's official positions should be higher than Yi Shuo's, but these two people usually don't put on airs. "His Highness... has become an immortal."

"Eh?"

Yi Shuo was stunned on the spot, not knowing how to react for a moment.

As soon as he finished speaking, another figure walked out from the gate not far away, looking at Guo Zhen and Ji Ping with a pair of old eyes:
"What did you just say?"

"Master Dong, we just heard a rumor that when His Highness went to Donglai to wait for the gods... he became an immortal."

Guo Zhen and Ji Ping bowed to the visitor and said.

"Become an immortal?!"

Dong Zhongshu was also stunned.
"You must have heard wrongly. Wasn't it the emperor who sought immortality? And the Fengshan Ceremony was not held. Why did the prince become an immortal? Does the prince also seek immortality on a daily basis?"

"Although the prince does not seek immortality on weekdays, the person who became immortal in the rumor this time is indeed the prince. We don't know why."

Guo Zhen and Ji Ping looked at each other and shook their heads.
"Moreover, this matter has long been no secret in Qi. It was only reported to Chang'an in the past two days. It is said that tens of thousands of people witnessed it with their own eyes. It was so sudden."

While speaking.

Yi Shuo suddenly pondered and said:
"Is it really so sudden?"

"Weren't there any signs before this?"

"I don't know what you think, but I felt from the beginning that His Highness was different from ordinary people, especially His Highness's profound and unfathomable medical skills. It can't have appeared out of thin air. Do you know where His Highness's medical skills came from?"

"..."

Guo Zhen and Ji Ping were silent for a moment, then Guo Zhen suddenly realized something.

"Now that you mention it, I seem to remember it!"

"Ji Ping, do you still remember that His Highness suddenly dismissed his guests?"

"His Highness seems to have become different since then. Not only has his temperament changed drastically, but the things he does are also different from those of ordinary people. However, no matter what he does, it always turns out to be a good thing that benefits the country and the people, as if he is blessed by God!"

Ji Ping's eyes gradually widened, and he nodded repeatedly like a chick pecking at rice:
"Yes, yes, that's right!"

"Master Dong, you should also have a deep understanding of this. Do you remember the incident of destroying the dikes and flooding the fields? His Majesty summoned you to debate on this matter. Before that, you should not have thought that destroying the dikes and flooding the fields would become a good thing that benefits the country and the people, right?"

"..."

Dong Zhongshu didn't know what to say anymore.

Some things just don't make sense. He even began to doubt that Liu Ju had previously guided him to find the rules of the "Fengshan Ceremony", and that the reason he was able to find it just in time for the court meeting was also thanks to Liu Ju's blessing...

……

A few days later.

Another memorial was sent to the Weiyang Palace.

Upon learning that it was a memorial sent back from Donglai, the letter was immediately passed smoothly and was presented to Emperor Liu Che in just a moment.

Liu Che immediately displayed unprecedented hand speed. In no time, he broke the seal on the bamboo tube, poured out the bamboo slips inside and shook them open for inspection.

After a while.

"???"

Liu Che's eyes were once again filled with suspicion and surprise.
"What on earth is this rebellious son trying to do..."

"If you have evil intentions, burning incense will do no good. If you are upright, it doesn't matter if you don't bow to me."

"Isn't this a reference to me?"

"Burning books and drowning alchemists... He burned those books in public and labeled all the alchemists and wizards as liars. Could it be that he himself has become an immortal and is trying to stop me from seeking immortality?"

"If this rebellious son truly has this thought, he should be killed!"
