I, the prince, only want to be deposed.

Chapter 235 Why don’t you come! I’m so annoyed!

"Father, there must be some misunderstanding."

Liu Ju was helpless and could only reiterate to Liu Che in a sincere manner:

"Before, whether it was the pacification of Nanyue or the treatment of Yishuo's friend's hemorrhoids and fistulas, it was actually Yishuo's credit. I just made one or two suggestions and happened to give Yishuo some inspiration. Therefore, in these matters, Yishuo was the real dominant factor. At most, I was just a little smart. How can I become a miraculous doctor?"

"Just like when I attend court on weekdays, I often give you some suggestions."

"Although my suggestions sometimes have a positive impact on current political affairs, it is always my father who is truly in control of these things. My suggestions at most only give my father some inspiration, or add fuel to the flames of something that my father has already understood clearly."

"And in the process of implementation, if I don't have the emperor standing behind me to guide the direction, make appropriate adjustments in private from time to time, and provide me with the necessary conveniences, how can I accomplish it?"

"Even so, I often get into trouble, and Father has to come out and clean up the mess himself."

"Therefore, I know better than anyone that some things can be accomplished not because of my ability, but because I have a true wise ruler like my father standing behind me. I can only succeed because my father is always there to protect me."

"Just because of this, can I think that I have the ability to become a wise ruler and have a deep understanding of how to govern a country?"

"The same is true of Yishuo's view of me as a miraculous doctor. Please understand my father!"

Having said this, Liu Ju bowed slightly, trying his best to make Liu Che feel his sincerity.

The fact that he disobeyed Emperor Wu of Han a few days ago and ended up sending Yi Shuo to prison, which also resulted in him being put on house arrest, has given him a new understanding of the "blessing of time travel."

This plug-in should only be able to ensure that the position of the crown prince is not deposed, and it is not an omnipotent wishing system.

Therefore, not everything can be achieved by disobeying Liu Che, especially when it comes to matters other than oneself, one must be careful with the means used and must not act recklessly.

"hehe."

Hearing this, Liu Che turned around with a sneer, glanced at Liu Ju and said,

"You told me a good story this time. It seems that you have made some progress recently..."

"In that case, let's not talk about whether it's deceiving the emperor. Didn't you just ask me for someone? I didn't say I wouldn't grant you the request. It's just one person. From today on, all the doctors in the Imperial Medical Bureau are at your disposal. I have only one request of you: cure Liu Hong for me."

"Cui Buyi, did you hear what I said?"

How could the imperial physician Cui Buyi, who was standing by, say no? He immediately bowed and saluted Liu Ju:

"I obey your order. The officials of the Imperial Medical Bureau are at your disposal!"

"..."

Liu Ju was not sure whether Liu Che was pretending to be ignorant or had misunderstood him. After all, he had just said "I need someone's help" when he was interrupted by Liu Che, and he did not mention Yi Shuo's name.

But things had come to this point, Liu Ju would not fool around with Liu Che any more, and immediately said seriously:

"Father, I only want Yishuo."

"Anyone can do it except Yishuo!"

Liu Che's eyes immediately turned cold.

"The Imperial Medical Bureau has many medical officers with rich clinical experience, and there are also some who have inherited medical skills better than Yishuo. If one is not enough, you can choose two. If two are not enough, you can choose ten. I don't believe it. Can't all the imperial doctors in the Imperial Medical Bureau replace Yishuo?"

"Father, I don't want anyone else except Yishuo."

Liu Ju would never give in on this matter. Seeing that Liu Che's eyes were filled with anger again, Liu Ju had no choice but to patiently explain.

"Father has already learned about my second brother's condition. He must know that his disease is very special, so it can only be cured by special means. As far as I know, the only person who can successfully implement this treatment is Yi Shuo. No one can replace him."

This time, Liu Che didn't wait for anything to happen.

The old imperial physician Ding Xian couldn't help himself and bowed to Liu Ju unconvincedly:
"Although the imperial doctors in the Imperial Medical Bureau are not omnipotent, most of them come from aristocratic families with medical skills. Their various diagnostic methods have been passed down for decades or even hundreds of years. Many of their colleagues are experts in their fields, and some are even well-known."

"Therefore, I have the audacity to defend the reputation of the Imperial Medical Bureau in front of Your Majesty. As long as it is a treatment method that has been used by someone in the world, the Imperial Medical Bureau will definitely be able to find someone who is proficient in it. There is no one in the world who is irreplaceable."

"If Your Highness doesn't believe it, you can tell me this method."

"I have been learning medical skills since I was young. To date, I have treated at least 800 patients, if not 1,000. I have also been immersed in various medical methods for many years. Perhaps I can take over and serve Your Highness!"

"..."

Seeing that Ding Xian had already said what he wanted to question Liu Ju, Liu Che did not say anything else, but just looked at Liu Ju with empty eyes.

"Old sir, if you only know the treatment methods that have been used by others in the world, you are doomed to be unable to replace Yi Shuo, let alone save the King of Qi."

Facing the gazes of several people, Liu Ju shook his head slightly.

Ding Xian was stunned for a moment, then his face turned red again, and he stiffened his neck and said:
"That may not be the case. Your Highness, please enlighten me again!"

"Can you perform surgery, old man?"

Liu Ju asked.

"Huh? What?"

Everyone, including Liu Che, looked puzzled.

Although Liu Ju's words were concise and straightforward, for these Han natives who had no knowledge of them, it was just like the elderly in later generations seeing some Internet buzzwords that suddenly became popular on the Internet. The meaning of each word was clear, but when they were put together, they had no idea what they meant.

"Surgery is the process of cutting open a person's body to treat damaged tissues or organs. Is that clear enough?"

Liu Ju didn't know how to explain the term "surgery" in medicine, so he could only explain it based on his own understanding.

As soon as the words fell, Liu Che's brows were twisted into knots:
"Liu Ju, what you mean is that you intend to use this method on Liu Hong?" "That's right."

If he had not done so, Liu Hong would have died young as recorded in history books.

Although doing so is quite risky, Liu Hong at least has a glimmer of hope. Of course, Liu Ju will do his best to minimize all risks... The rest depends on Liu Hong's own resistance.

"Your Majesty, it is absolutely impossible!"

Before he finished speaking, Ding Xian, after taking a long time to react, was so shocked that he slapped his thigh and jumped up, trying to persuade Liu Che with a wail.

"It's no joke to operate on a human body. Someone is just shot with an arrow or cut with a knife. Even if it doesn't hurt a vital part, they can still die if they are not careful."

"If we operate on the King of Qi and tamper with his internal tissues and organs, he will be dead for sure!"

"Your Highness, this method is not curing diseases or saving lives, it is clearly killing people, Your Majesty!"

The imperial physician Cui Buyi beside him also changed his expression and bowed to Liu Che and advised:

"Your Majesty, please think twice. The King of Qi is already suffering from illness. If he hurts himself again, I'm afraid he will not be able to survive!"

Even Bu Shi and the attendant who was wiping Liu Hong's body with alcohol turned pale when they heard this.

Bu Shi even began to doubt Liu Ju's purpose:

"Could it be that the Crown Prince sees the King of Qi as a threat to the Crown Prince's position and is trying to kill the King of Qi under the pretext of curing his illness to eliminate the threat forever? The King of Qi trusted him so much before..."

"..."

At this moment, a name involuntarily crossed Liu Ju's mind.

——Hua Tuo!
Although the story that Hua Tuo was killed by Cao Cao because he suggested a craniotomy to treat his headache was fabricated in the novel, the story is based on real life, especially in an era when there were no conditions for surgery and no one had ever performed surgery, it is definitely a possible thing that happened.

And when he said this to Liu Che and others, it felt like he was suggesting that Cao Cao have his skull opened.

It’s just that Liu Che is not Cao Cao, and Liu Ju is not Hua Tuo. They are still father and son with blood relationship, so their situation seems to be slightly better than Hua Tuo’s…

Knew it.

It is still a bit too advanced to let these native Han people receive such treatment.

Amidst these dissuading voices, Liu Che's eyes quickly turned cold, as if he had finally figured out something, and asked in a cold voice:

"Yishuo previously stole the bodies of executed prisoners and destroyed and insulted the bodies. Was he researching such evil ways?"

"She was your personal physician, and she lived with you day and night. She instilled these evil ways into you imperceptibly, which is why you believed her so much and even tried to use such cruel means on Liu Hong."

"You have been bewitched by her, haven't you?"

"..."

Seeing that things had gone back to the starting point, even more chaotic than before, Liu Ju finally felt angry and impatient, and gritted his teeth and said:

"Fuck, I'm really fed up with this meaningless quarrel and suspicion..."

"?"

Liu Che's expression didn't change yet.

Liu Ju suddenly pointed at Cui Buyi and Ding Xian and started to curse:

"Why don't you guys come! Why don't you guys come! I'm so annoyed!"

"If it weren't for your incompetence and inability to even find the cause of the disease, why would my father have summoned me here today!"

"Since you are incompetent, just shut up. If you don't speak, no one will think you are dumb. On the contrary, if you talk too much, people will think you are someone who has no pants on and exposed something. You look like a bird and are useless!"

"?!"

Cui Buyi and Ding Xian had never seen such a scene before. Their faces turned pale and they dared not even breathe.

"Liu Ju!"

Liu Che knew at a glance that this rebellious son was doing something wrong again, and he glared at him and shouted.

As a result, Liu Ju immediately turned his spearhead towards him again:
"And you, Father!"

"Father, you will see the situation now. My second brother is in danger now. I am too lazy to play tricks on you anymore. I will just make it clear."

"The focus of my second brother's disease is a bean sprout-shaped tube growing at the end of his intestine. This tube is originally unnecessary, but now it has become blocked and necrotic. If left untreated, my second brother will surely die. Only by removing it surgically can my second brother have a chance of survival, and it will not cause any impact on his body in the future."

"If you don't believe me, just find a corpse and cut open its abdomen to see if there is this small tube. Then compare it with the location of my brother's pain and swelling and you will know whether it is true or not."

"I have said all that needs to be said. Father, please make your own decision. It is you who is anxious and it is my younger brother who is dying. What does this have to do with me?"

"I really don't understand how the emperor sees me."

"Could it be that I have gone to such great lengths to kill my second brother, bear the infamy of being a fratricide, and also pull Yi Shuo, who has already been sentenced to death by hanging, out of the imperial prison, and then charge her with the crime of assassinating a marquis, and kill her all over again?"

"Is it me who has lost my mind, or is it my father..."

"Forget it, I am tired. I will do whatever I want. It won't be too late for you to summon me when your Majesty has made up his mind. I will take my leave now."
