I, the prince, only want to be deposed.

Chapter 250 If my father is still a human, then it won’t work

Liu Che had just finished speaking.

"Your Majesty, your words are wrong!"

Gongsun He immediately stood up and refuted with righteous words,

"I believe that all of your majesty's princes are outstanding!"

"The Crown Prince has shown his talent at a young age. He first pacified the Nanyue Kingdom and made it submit, and then conquered the Western Qiang and wiped it out. He can now assist Your Majesty in governing the country and relieve your worries!"

"The King of Qi is still young, but he has presented such a rare item as the 'Tianlu Box'. It is truly a blessing for the Han Dynasty!"

"The Prince of Yan and the Prince of Guangling are from the north and south, and they are both young and capable. They both govern the country well, making the borders stable and becoming the frontiers and wings of the Han Dynasty!"

"Your Majesty, how can you belittle yourself... But I also understand your Majesty's intentions. Your Majesty only has high hopes for all the princes and hopes that they will continue to work hard, so you said such words. But from your Majesty's mouth, I only heard your Majesty's encouragement and fatherly love for the princes!"

Sang Hongyang also bowed very solemnly and said:
"That's right. Your Majesty loves you princes deeply, so your requirements are stricter. This is the embodiment of a father's love as high as a mountain!"

"Your Majesty's painstaking efforts, who in the world doesn't know..."

Several people spoke one after another and sang a different tune from Liu Che, firmly opposing Liu Che's last words, vying to be loyal ministers of remonstration, and even being filled with righteous indignation.

"So, am I too strict with my sons?"

Liu Che just smiled faintly and looked at Wei Qing who had remained silent.

Everyone also looked sideways at Wei Qing.

This is the tacit understanding between the monarch and his subjects.

How could Liu Che not know what these trusted court officials would say after he said that?
How could these trusted court officials not know what they should say after hearing Liu Che's words?
Therefore, that sentence naturally generated a blocked word, and eventually became "On the contrary, it is **Wei Qing's son who is the most useless...", and it became a problem of Wei Qing alone.

"..."

Wei Qing's face suddenly became embarrassed.

Because even if these words were automatically blocked, they still expressed an indisputable fact, which made him unable to open his mouth.

Not to mention Gongsun Jingsheng, Sima Qian and Zhao Guo, they cannot even be compared with the mediocre sons and daughters of royal and noble families. Although their sons and daughters are mediocre, at least they know how to advance and retreat, and they will not do anything rebellious like disobeying the imperial edict or disobeying their father's orders!

This traitor!

This really brought shame upon him, breaking the saying that "a good father will have a good son". Whenever this rebellious son is mentioned, he will never be able to hold his head up.

Looking back, he looked down on Gongsun He's son Gongsun Jingsheng and specifically reminded Liu Ju to stay away from him.

The results of it?
He dared to sign a military order and ask for the order to be the first to climb the ladder. He also won three merits in one battle and was the best in the entire army. If it weren't for the example of Huo Qubing, maybe the title of "Champion" would have been him!
Look at the mud in my house that can't be helped, the unfilial son who won't move even if I lead him and will go backwards...

Thinking of this, Wei Qing felt more and more ashamed, his chest began to rise and fall violently, and the pride hidden deep in his bones quietly shrank.

He lowered his head and clenched his teeth as he saluted Liu Che, his voice as dull as the thunder before a rainstorm:

"Your humble servant...is a poor parent!"

……

Bowang Garden.

"Your Highness doesn't know. When His Majesty suddenly summoned me to the palace, I was so scared that my legs were paralyzed. I thought I had done something wrong again and His Majesty wanted to punish me personally."

Wei Kang held a copper plate the size of a palm with the words "Shizhong" engraved on it, and chattered to Liu Ju excitedly.

"I only found out after I went there that it was His Highness who recommended me to His Majesty, and His Majesty was going to entrust me with an important task!"

"This is really a situation that goes from underground to heaven at the same time. If I hadn't been able to keep my composure, I would have been scared to death."

"Your Highness, I beg you. If you do something like this again next time, please let me know in advance. Otherwise, I'm afraid I won't be able to bear it. I don't know when I will be scared to death by your Highness..."

At that time, "Shizhong" was not a specific official position, or it was not a powerful official position with a fixed number of people.

This is a kind of additional official position, that is, a privileged official position added after the fixed number of official positions.

Becoming a "Shizhong" meant becoming a close and trusted minister of Emperor Liu Che, who could enter and leave the palace freely and meet with Emperor Liu Che face to face at any time to report matters or answer questions, similar to a special adviser to the emperor.

"Definitely next time."

Liu Ju said with a smile,

"This is what my cousin deserves. Since my cousin has extraordinary talents, it would be a loss to the Han Dynasty if they were buried. How dare I hide it and not report it?"

"Speaking of which, if Your Highness had not recommended me to His Majesty, and His Majesty had not entrusted me with an important task, I would not have known that my unpresentable cunning mind could actually be considered a talent."

Wei Kang said this with some emotion, but anyone could see the uncontrollable excitement on his face.
"If my father knew that I had quietly become the 'Minister' and was entrusted with such an important task by His Majesty, I'm afraid he would no longer call me a waste, right?"

"And those who used to look down on me and used me as a negative example to teach their children will probably be shocked too."

"Hehehe, I guess this can be considered as accumulating strength over time and catching up later."

"I never thought that I, Wei Kang, would end up like this..."

Don’t people who just lie down and do bad things have any sense of shame or a desire to win?
It was hard to say before, but since Wei Kang came to Bowang Garden, under the influence of Liu Ju, he has had a new understanding of lying down and letting things go badly, and a sense of shame and a competitive spirit have gradually emerged.

While speaking.

"Report! The general is visiting!"

Guo Zhen ran into the hall quickly, reporting breathlessly,

"Your Highness, the general is coming here aggressively and specifically wants to see Master Wei Chang. I dare not stop him... Master Wei Chang, I suggest you hide first..."

The words are not finished yet.

"What are you hiding for!" A loud shout came from the courtyard. Wei Qing walked over quickly with a dark face and a whip in hand. He saw Wei Kang in the hall at a glance. The restrained murderous aura instantly enveloped the entire guest hall. He shouted sternly,

"Unfilial son, you can hide on the first day, but can you hide on the fifteenth day?!"

"uncle……"

Liu Ju really couldn't understand what was wrong with Wei Qing. He looked at Wei Kang beside him in surprise and asked with his eyes:

"Cousin, what treasonous thing have you done to make your father so angry?"

"Father……"

Wei Kang also looked surprised and answered Liu Ju with his eyes:
"I don't know. I just came out of the palace. Do you think I am you? You dare to do whatever you want in the palace. I really don't have the courage... and His Majesty praised me today. What can happen?"

While talking.

Wei Qing had already entered the guest hall, but he did not take action directly. Instead, he tried his best to restrain himself and bowed to Liu Ju first:
"I beg Your Highness to step aside for the moment. I need to teach this unfilial son a lesson immediately!"

Liu Ju could clearly feel Wei Qing's anger, but seeing Wei Qing's attitude, Wei Kang would most likely be bedridden for several months, so he tried his best to help persuade him:

"Uncle, please talk to me nicely, don't use violence. Beating your son in public will have a great impact on my cousin's psychology."

"Yes, father, Your Highness is right. I am already this old, and you still beat me in front of Your Highness in the Prince's Mansion. I have no dignity. Besides..."

Wei Kang also quickly agreed.

"You rebellious son, you have no right to speak here!"

It would have been better if Wei Kang didn't say anything, but as soon as he opened his mouth, Wei Qing could no longer suppress his anger and raised his hand to whip him with the whip.

"...Father, wait a minute!"

Wei Kang was so frightened that he quickly raised his hands to protect his head and face, while holding the bronze plate engraved with the words "Shizhong" in one hand as he walked forward.

"???"

The next moment, the whip stopped steadily only 1 centimeter away from the bronze medal.

Then Wei Qing snatched the bronze medal away. There was a hint of suspicion between his angry brows, and he looked back and forth with a frown.

He even took off an identical bronze plate from his waist to compare it carefully.

After a while.

Judging from Wei Qing's expression, he probably couldn't find any obvious difference between the two bronze medals.

But at the same time, the anger on his face suddenly turned into shock and anger, and murderous intent flashed in his eyes, and he raised the whip higher than before:
"You damned rebellious son, you actually dared to forge something like this secretly. I will beat you to death today, otherwise everyone in the Wei family will be exhausted to death by you!"

"Uncle, wait a minute!"

Seeing that someone's life might be lost, Liu Ju rushed forward and grabbed Wei Qing's arm tightly.
"This waist badge is real. It was given to my cousin by my father himself. I can testify to this!"

"Really?"

Wei Qing still didn't believe it. If the person who tried to stop him hadn't been Liu Ju, who was worried about accidentally hurting his nephew, the prince, no one would have been able to stop him at this moment.

"Of course it is true. Uncle, don't you think about it? If this kind of thing was secretly made, how could it appear openly in the Prince's Mansion? Is it that my cousin is ignorant, and am I also ignorant?"

Liu Ju explained with a smile.

"?"

Wei Kang just felt that these words were very awkward to hear, but there was nothing to worry about, as long as he was alive.

"W-what on earth is going on?"

Although he secretly thought that his nephew was not much better than his son, Liu Ju's words finally made Wei Qing regain a bit of rationality. His tense arms relaxed a little and he slowly put down the whip.

"Uncle, this is what happened. My cousin..."

Liu Ju was just about to explain to Wei Qing the whole story from beginning to end.

But Wei Kang suddenly jumped out to stop him:

"Your Highness cannot tell! When we were in the palace today, His Majesty specifically told me that this matter is of great importance and must not be revealed to anyone!"

"Unfilial son, can't you even tell your father?"

When Wei Qing heard this, he became angry again.

"If my father is still a human, then it won't work."

Wei Kang straightened his chest, with a selfless look on his face.

"Father, although you and I are father and son, we are both officials in the same court. Among the Three Cardinal Guidelines, the ruler's guideline is the highest and the father's guideline is the lowest. It is also my duty as a son to be loyal to the ruler. Please do not make things difficult for me."

"???"

Wei Qing's grip on the whip tightened instantly, his joints made crisp "crackling" sounds, and his arms were shaking.

"..."

Liu Ju quietly stepped aside.

Do not live by sin.

He suddenly felt that Liu Che was actually quite happy. After all, he was actually quite good too. At least he knew not to add fuel to the fire.
