I, the prince, only want to be deposed.

Chapter 198: Severe punishment to serve as a warning to others!
"?!"

Liu Che's dragon roar almost blew off the roof of the rear hall, and the main hall in front could naturally hear it clearly.

The Confucian scholars of the Imperial Academy and the virtuous and talented writers were already preparing to leave one after another under the organization of Prime Minister Zhao Zhou and Imperial Censor Shi Qing. They were naturally sighing with regret as they had survived the disaster, so the scene was somewhat chaotic.

As a result, as the dragon's roar suddenly sounded, everyone couldn't help but be startled, and instantly fell silent, standing still on the spot.

What's going on inside?
No one knew what had happened in the back hall, but the word "I" made them understand who was the angry person in the back hall.

But...didn’t the prince just go in a while ago?

How big a thing could happen in such a short while to make the emperor so angry?
Zhao Zhou and Shi Qing looked at each other.

The group of Confucian scholars and virtuous men of letters from the Imperial Academy were also shocked and suspicious, and dared not even breathe.

Su Wen shuddered even more, a chill running down his spine from the soles of his feet up to his head, and he could barely stand steadily.

"How could this be?"

"The emperor loves his children deeply. Even if the prince is a little stubborn, I have just made it clear to him. Even if he is stupid, he should understand your majesty's painstaking efforts."

"So this time when we meet His Majesty, shouldn't it be a scene of loving father and filial son?"

Although Su Wen really couldn't figure it out, he was really scared at this moment.

The reason why he dared to trick Liu Ju into entering the back hall to meet Liu Che was because he was sure that this was a perfect opportunity to mend the relationship between father and son.

In this way, Liu Che did not get rejected by his friends, and his mood naturally improved.

Liu Ju has already learned of Liu Che's good intentions, and he must thank him no matter what. Liu Che will only feel better, and the relationship between father and son will surely become more loving and filial...

In this situation, not to mention that no one had the time to pay attention to his corrections.

Even if you noticed it, it's not hard to see that he did it with the best of intentions.

Liu Che would only think that he could get things done. Regardless of whether he would reward him, he would at least remember his loyalty.

Even on Liu Ju's side.

He would certainly not suffer any loss, at least one day Liu Ju would inherit the throne, and this matter might buy him a way out instead of really having his heart betrayed.

Unexpectedly, things went completely beyond Liu Ju's expectations after just a while, and were developing in the worst direction.

If Liu Che were to investigate this matter later...

If the correction is not harmful, it will become a serious harm, at the very least it will be a cut in half!

But what is going on?

According to common sense, if all the prerequisites are put together, things should only develop in a good direction. How could it turn out like this?

What treasonous words did Liu Ju say and what treasonous things did he do after he entered?
Ancestors!

Prince, you are my ancestor, are you determined to kill me?
at the same time.

"Everyone, please stay for a moment. From now on, no one is allowed to leave Xuanshi Hall!"

Zhao Zhou and Shi Qing were increasingly confused about what had happened in the back hall, but Liu Che's furious curse, "Do you really think I can't do it?" made them have their own ideas.

Just now, Su Wen conveyed Liu Ju's intention and pardoned the death penalty for this group of Confucian scholars and virtuous writers of the Imperial Academy.

This may also mean that Liu Che was doing Liu Ju a favor.

But now Liu Ju had only been in for a while when Liu Che suddenly cursed out this sentence.

Even if the meaning of this statement is still unclear, there is a high probability that it is related to this group of Confucian scholars and virtuous literature in the Imperial Academy.

Therefore, they would not dare to let them go until they were sure that Liu Che and Liu Ju had reached a consensus on this matter and had once again made it clear that they would pardon this group of people, otherwise they would be afraid of being held responsible afterwards.

Upon hearing this, the worries of the Confucian scholars and the virtuous and talented scholars who had finally put their minds at ease were immediately tightened again:

"This... Prime Minister Zhao, why is this happening?"

"Hasn't Minister Su just conveyed the Crown Prince's intention and decided to pardon us?"

"Is there going to be any changes in this matter?"

"As the crown prince, the prince will not easily break his promise..."

"..."

One thought leads to heaven, one thought leads to hell. Although they had never ridden a roller coaster before, they now deeply felt the thrill of it, and their hearts could hardly bear it.

"Is it true that His Majesty has changed his mind again?"

Zhao Zhou and Shi Qing's decision served as a reminder to Su Wen.

"Do you really think I can't do it?" This statement must have a prior context. It may be directed at pardoning those Confucian scholars and virtuous writers from the Imperial Academy, or it may be directed at other things.

The biggest problem now is that no one knows why Liu Che said this.

Therefore, there was nothing wrong with Zhao Zhou and Shi Qing's decision. Even if they wanted to pardon these sour Confucian scholars, they would not be afraid of delaying it. On the contrary, letting them go might lead to bad consequences.

only……

Su Wen felt that he should go in immediately to find out why Liu Che was angry and do his best to relieve the emperor's worries, but he really didn't dare to do so. If he entered at the wrong time and heard something he shouldn't hear, it would surely be a capital crime.

This is the real dilemma.

……

apse.

"..." Liu Che's eyes were bloodshot, his chest heaving violently, his eyes were bloodshot with anger, and only heavy gasps could be heard.

"..."

Although Liu Ju stood with his head bowed, he did not show the slightest intention of admitting defeat or giving in. Silence was his attitude.

As a cheater, he firmly believed that as long as he remained disobedient, things would develop in a good direction, and the initiative of this marriage would return to his hands, instead of opening a blind box that would harm others and himself.

As for the tradition of following "parents' orders and matchmaker's words", he has no intention of changing it.

The butt determines the head, and he also knew that the "Three Bonds and Five Constant Virtues" were the foundation and legal principles of the feudal dynasty's rule.

As the crown prince of the Han Dynasty and the future emperor of the Han Dynasty, he will have to rely on the "Three Bonds and Five Constant Virtues" to maintain his rule and status. It will be of no benefit to him to overthrow the emperor without authorization.

Therefore, he is now only fighting for himself, it has nothing to do with others, and he does not have any grand ideals.

then.

The voices of Zhao Zhou and Shi Qing were heard from the main hall:

"Everyone, please stay for a moment. From now on, no one is allowed to leave Xuanshi Hall!"

Hearing this voice, Liu Che realized that he had lost his composure again because of his rebellious son Liu Ju, and that everything was heard clearly by Su Wen, Zhao Zhou, Shi Qing, as well as the Confucian scholars and virtuous writers of the Imperial Academy in the main hall.

Not only that, these people may have misunderstandings, and I don’t know what they are thinking.

If it were just Su Wen.

Liu Che might not care too much about it, after all, this is not the first time such a thing has happened.

Or even if Zhao Zhou and Shi Qing were added, he would not take it too seriously. After all, these two people were under his nose, and they knew what to say and what not to say.

Besides, based on just that one sentence, no one knew what happened in the back hall.

But this group of Confucian scholars and virtuous writers from the Imperial Academy are different!

Their greatest skill is gossiping. No matter what happens to them, turning the square into the round is secondary. They often exaggerate and fabricate some things, even involving him, the emperor. These people may regard the previous incident as a lifelong topic of gossip, and spread it everywhere after fabricating it...

"..."

Liu Ju was also secretly observing Liu Che's expression at this moment. He saw a strong sense of hostility on Liu Che's already furious face.

What is this cheap father planning?
Even though Liu Ju felt fearless, his heart began to pound.

After all, this was the pressure from Emperor Wu of Han. Liu Ju had been unable to bear it before, and at this moment he couldn't help but feel uncomfortable, not sure whether this hostility would befall him.

next moment.

"Su Wen!"

"Pass on my order to escort all those traitors who believed in slander and committed false accusations to the imperial prison and hand them over to the court for punishment. Tell the court's chief inspector Zhao Yu to punish them severely as a warning to others!"

"……promise!"

In the main hall, Su Wen heard Liu Che's voice again, and it was still with the same content. He was greatly shocked, but he did not dare to be negligent in the slightest. He quickly bowed and responded in the direction of Liu Che across the barrier.

Then he immediately called out to the Qimen warriors in the hall:

"Catch all these traitors, but kill anyone who resists!"

"???"

Zhao Zhou and Shi Qing were completely confused at this moment.

They had just retained these Confucian scholars and virtuous writers from the Imperial Academy. Although they had the intention of preventing this possibility, deep down they still felt that this possibility was not great.

After all, Liu Che had already clearly shown his attitude of raising it high and putting it down gently...

Even the Confucian scholars and scholars of the Imperial Academy were stunned for two seconds before they were sure they had heard correctly. Then their faces changed drastically, and they were so scared that their legs went limp and they dropped their heads to the ground, wailing and begging for mercy:
"Your Majesty, please spare my life. I will never dare to do that again!"

"Your Majesty, I was deceived, but my crime does not deserve the death penalty, Your Majesty..."

"Your Majesty, I know I was wrong. I kowtow to you. I am willing to pay money to atone for my sins. Please give me a chance!"

"Castration! I am willing to atone my sins with castration..."

"..."

It was not until this moment that Su Wen finally had time to think and quietly wiped the cold sweat from his temples.

Although he still didn't know what had just happened in the back hall, he couldn't help but be convinced by Liu Ju, and he even prostrated himself in admiration.

A cup of tea…

No, no, no, it’s not even a cup of tea!
It seemed that after Liu Ju entered the back hall, it only took a moment for him to be distracted, and then he completely reversed Liu Che's idea. Liu Che, who had clearly not intended to take the lives of these Confucian scholars and virtuous writers of the Imperial Academy, completely followed his wishes and put them all in the imperial prison and punished them severely!

What kind of terrifying ability is this?
After all, Su Wen had followed Liu Che for many years.

But before Liu Ju, Su Wen had never seen anyone who could do this. The cypress tree on the grave of the last person who tried to do this would probably have grown several meters tall.

But for Liu Ju, it only took a few words?

Can't afford it!
Even ten hearts can’t afford to offend you!

Your Highness, I know I was wrong. I shouldn't have acted on my own!

I must find Liu Ju in private later, and then find a place with few people to have a good talk with him. I must kneel down when I need to, and I must not let Liu Ju misunderstand me!
