I, the prince, only want to be deposed.

Chapter 199 Liu Ju’s complete childhood?
Cow breaking!

The "Time Travel Blessings" loophole is so awesome!
Although Liu Ju had long believed that he had a sure victory, when he heard Emperor Liu Che suddenly issue this decree, he was still very excited, and even felt a sense of surprise that he had achieved success.

His previous intention to expel all these Confucian scholars and virtuous writers from the Imperial Academy was not just to scare them.

Because in Liu Ju's mind, these people were no different from the keyboard warriors on the Internet in later generations who just followed the crowd without knowing the truth of the matter.

And the harm is even greater!

After all, keyboard warriors cannot control mainstream public opinion, and their influence is naturally incomparable to that of these Confucian scholars from the Imperial Academy and virtuous literature.

But even so, many innocent people in later generations suffered greatly from it.

Just like the driver of the bus in Yizhou who fell into the water after an old lady snatched the steering wheel away from him, and a passing private car driver, their work and lives were greatly affected before the truth came out.

Another example is the young mother whose child was hit and killed by a car at school. However, when she was suffering from the pain of losing her son, she was questioned by these keyboard warriors about her makeup and clothing, and eventually suffered a mental breakdown and jumped from the building.

Such tragic consequences resulted.

None of these keyboard warriors paid any price for their actions, not even an apology.

They still live carefree and at peace with themselves. When the next innocent victim appears who can make them feel morally superior, they will immediately accuse, criticize, and hurt others without any distinction...

Is this fair?
So what about justice for those innocent victims?

The same is true of these Confucian scholars and virtuous writers in the Imperial Academy, and they are even worse than them.

Putting aside the fact that Liu Ju deliberately destroyed the dikes and flooded the fields, the matters of hiring murderers and the historians of Lu State could always be verified. However, they also impeached and convicted Liu Ju without any verification, and were even more diligent than those who planned the incident.

If the person who encountered this incident was not Liu Ju, and Liu Ju was not a cheater.

I'm afraid it's hard to escape this disaster...

The most important thing is that because the laws of the Han Dynasty were far from perfect, the "Spring and Autumn Judgment" method was often used to judge cases.

The final right to interpret the "Spring and Autumn Judgments" lies in the hands of these Confucian scholars and virtuous writers of the Imperial Academy.

They treated Crown Prince Liu Ju in this way.

So how can we be impartial when dealing with ordinary people?

Liu Ju couldn't even imagine how many people would die innocently without any verification if such a person were to judge cases and decide life and death.

That's why Liu Ju wanted to take action against them!

He wanted to use this as a warning to the Confucian scholars and virtuous writers in the world, letting them know that if they listen to one side without investigation and follow the crowd, they will have to pay the price.

This is for three reasons:

fair!

fair!

Still damn fair!
Unfortunately, Liu Che did not want him to do so for his own reasons.

In order to comply with Liu Che's wishes, Su Wen even risked his life to trick him into coming before Liu Che, and then quickly gave these Confucian scholars and virtuous writers a light punishment.

Liu Ju could naturally see it.

Neither Liu Che nor Su Wen had any ill intentions this time.

But Liu Ju had his own support, which was more reliable than Liu Che's. He did not need the support of these people at all, nor did he have to follow the principle that politics meant compromise!

However, without Liu Che's support, this matter would be difficult to accomplish, after all, he was only a regent prince.

But now, the problem has been solved. It was easily solved by saying "Father, please depose me". Being a hacker is so boring and easy.

only……

The sentence "Please, father, depose me" only solved the issue of the Confucian scholars in the Imperial Academy and the virtuous and talented writers, but did not solve the problem of this marriage.

Liu Ju pondered in his heart.

If Liu Che still insisted, would he have to continue to disobey and even intensify his actions in order to achieve his goal...

……

Amidst the howling of ghosts and wolves.

These Confucian scholars and virtuous writers of the Imperial Academy were quickly taken away by the warriors of Qimen Gate, and the main hall of Xuanshi soon returned to its usual tranquility.

"Su Wen, Zhao Zhou, Shi Qing."

Liu Che still stared at Liu Ju, but shouted the names of the three people outside.

"I am here."

The three of them still didn't dare to come in easily, and hurriedly bowed and answered across the barrier.

"You three should also go to the court to help deal with this matter!"

Liu Che's voice was still low and cold.

How could the three of them not hear that Liu Che wanted them to stay away, so they exchanged glances with each other, bowed their bodies and said yes together.

Su Wen was even very sensible and asked the other Qimen warriors in the hall to retreat together.

Wait until the footsteps in the main hall gradually fade away.

Liu Che's chest immediately began to rise and fall violently again, and his breathing became heavier than before.

At the same time, Liu Ju could vaguely hear some grinding sounds, but since Liu Che had his mouth closed, the sounds were not that obvious. All he could see was Liu Che's facial muscles twitching slightly...

This... Liu Che won't hit me, right?

Although he relied on the "time travel blessing" loophole and firmly believed that the more he disobeyed, the less likely he would be deposed as the crown prince, but this thing could not guarantee that Liu Che would not pull out the Seven Wolves in anger and give him a complete childhood... Especially in this situation where no one was around. Finally.

"Rebellious son! I will give you one last chance. Answer my question again!"

Liu Che spoke again. Although his tone was not as violent as before, the unprecedented repression gave Liu Ju even greater pressure.

That means Su Wen is not here now.

Otherwise, after seeing this scene, Su Wen would definitely not just kneel down as he did habitually before. If his prostate was not obedient, he would most likely urinate on the spot.

"..."

Liu Ju's heart began to beat rapidly again, and he couldn't help but feel a little afraid.

However, as a person who relied on his heart, he still said with a stiff upper lip:

"Father, I have no intention of disobeying you, nor do I lack filial piety towards you. However, this is a matter of my life, and I hope to have more freedom to choose. I beg you to understand."

"If I don't understand, what can you do?"

Liu Che asked still aggressively, his voice even deeper.

"If so..."

Seeing Liu Che's current state, Liu Ju was certain that if he didn't reveal more explosive information this time, Liu Che would definitely not let him fulfill his wish, so he made up his mind:
"If I am not mistaken, Father just mentioned the deposed Empress Chen, right?"

"..."

Liu Che did not answer, but continued to stare into his eyes.

Liu Ju lowered his head and avoided it, and continued:
"As far as I know, when my father was not yet the crown prince, he followed my mother's orders to make an engagement with her."

"Later, my father appointed him as the crown prince, and soon after, he married Chen and made her the crown princess."

"I also know that when my father appointed him as the crown prince, he was only seven years old. It was definitely not his own idea to make a marriage contract and marry Chen. Even when he ascended the throne, it was not necessarily his intention to make Chen the queen..."

"Shut up!"

At this point, Liu Che suddenly became angry and interrupted Liu Ju with a loud shout.

"I just want you to answer now. If I insist that you marry Han Shuo's daughter, will you marry her or not?"

"My son..."

Liu Ju's heartbeat became faster.

Liu Che is now like a lion that is about to lose his patience, and the hostility in his eyes is stronger than ever before.

If he wasn't a cheater, he had no doubt that as long as he said the word "no" now, Liu Che would immediately make up his mind to depose him and would not give him the slightest chance to turn things around, and would even pretend that he had never given birth to a son like him.

But unfortunately, he is a cheater!
Therefore, despite the uncontrollable fear in his heart, Liu Ju still gritted his teeth:
"...I must personally see Han Shuo's daughter's appearance before deciding whether to marry her."

“Hahahaha, good, very good, very good!!!”

Upon hearing this, Liu Che abruptly withdrew his gaze and burst into laughter, but his laughter was filled with an indescribable sense of disappointment and loneliness.
"Since you are stubborn and refuse to change your ways, why not let me fulfill your wish? From now on..."

While talking.

"Report!"

Suddenly a report came from outside the hall.

Then a man rushed in rashly from the back door of the rear hall of Xuanshi.

Not bad!

The rear hall of Xuanshi leads directly to the main hall, but there is also a back door at the back.

The person who came was no one else but another eunuch, Chang Rong.

This person, like the eunuch Wang Bi who was recently executed by Emperor Wu of Han as a rat, was keen on finding Liu Ju's faults and reporting them to Emperor Wu of Han. Previously, when Liu Ju destroyed the dikes and flooded the fields, Liu Che sent a special envoy to investigate secretly.

However, because Liu Ju was too bold and reckless, he walked too fast when he hurried back to the capital to report to Emperor Che, and he suffered a herniated disc in his lumbar region due to the shaking in the carriage. After returning, he rested for two months before he barely recovered.

Chang Rong was not here just now, so naturally he didn't know what had happened.

Because he went through the back door, he did not run into Su Wen and others, and thought that today's "debate on deposing and enthroning the crown prince" had already ended, so he rushed in as usual with an urgent report.

After trotting into the back hall of Xuanshi.

Chang Rong just realized that the dragon couch was not placed in its original place. He glanced around the hall and then found that the dragon couch had been moved to the door connecting to the main hall, and at this moment Liu Che and Liu Ju were standing together.

And the current state of the two people seems to be very wrong...

At this moment, Chang Rong just wanted to exit quickly.

Or maybe he could become invisible and Liu Che couldn't see him at all.

But it's a pity.

Liu Che's eyes full of hostility were already looking at him.

Chang Rong's heart tightened, so he had to stand far away, bowed and saluted, pretending to bite the bullet and said as usual:
"Report! Your Majesty, I have received news that the deposed Queen Chen died in the early hours of this morning... in the Changmen Palace, leaving only a handwritten will and a puppet for Your Majesty."

While talking.

Chang Rong held up a scroll of bamboo slips and a small puppet wearing exquisite floral clothes in his hands.

"What did you say?"

Liu Che's body stiffened slightly, and the hostility in his eyes began to fade rapidly.
"Chen Ajiao... is she dead?"
