I, the prince, only want to be deposed.

Chapter 287 My Foolish Son...

"..."

Su Wen suddenly held his breath and was about to get to the point!

But Liu Ju spread his hands, shrugged his shoulders and said:
"Father, please understand. First of all, I have not offended anyone. The assassination I suffered was actually my punishment on your behalf."

"Suffer on my behalf?"

Liu Che frowned instantly.

"Exactly. Let's talk about Guo Xuanzi first."

Liu Ju nodded heavily and continued,
"When Guo Xuanzi's scheme was exposed by me, she told me in person that she had a brother named Guo Jie, who was once a respected knight in Hanoi. If I want to blame someone, I should blame my father for killing Guo Jie's entire family, but not realizing that Guo Jie had a sister like her. Therefore, Guo Xuanzi's plot against me this time was essentially revenge on my father."

"This is just one of them."

"Let's talk about Hejian King Liu Shou, Guan Changqing, and Wang Ding."

"According to my investigation, Liu Shou's great-grandfather was named Liu De, and he and my father were brothers of the royal family. Guan Changqing and Wang Ding were also Liu De's retainers."

"When Liu De came to Beijing to present his book to the emperor, he was not only not praised by the emperor, but also scolded by the emperor. After returning to his fiefdom, he became disheartened and indulged in drinking and music. He died just a few months later... Regardless of whether this account was directly related to the emperor, Liu De's descendants and these remaining ministers have already blamed the emperor for this."

"So they teamed up with Guo Xuanzi to plot against my son and eventually assassinated him. In essence, they were still seeking revenge against their father."

"This is the second one..."

At this point, Liu Che's face looked even uglier, his brows furrowed, and he stared at Liu Ju with cold eyes:

"According to what you said, your assassination in Hejian Kingdom this time is my fault?"

"Gulu..."

Su Wen swallowed unconsciously, his legs began to weaken out of habit, and a chill quietly rose in his vest.

Damn it, I am completely surrounded by unhappiness and confusion.

I want to escape, but I can't.

He really didn't understand what Liu Ju was thinking. Over the years, he had only seen the emperor shift the blame onto his ministers, but had never seen anyone dare to shift the blame onto the emperor. Today was another day he had never seen before.

"Father, please listen to me first. What I am going to say next is what I really want to say."

Liu Ju seemed not to notice Liu Che's expression and continued to speak.
"Let's talk about the corrupt officials and aristocratic families in Hejian State."

"This is related to the emperor's official system and preferences. Let's take a look at the quality of these officials."

"Some of them are profit-seeking people who were promoted by the emperor before by paying sheep and grain, and some are exactly the same as the local officials who cooperated with Gongsun Qing to deceive the emperor in Gaoshi City."

"These people only heard that someone had deceived my father by claiming that I was destined to be alone, and they also knew that my 'lucky star' was designed to appear in Hejian State, so they immediately cooperated with my father to obtain his reward. Whether they knew the inside story or not, they were tantamount to being accomplices in the assassination of my son."

"They deceived their superiors and joined forces with local noble families to oppress the people. How can your father govern the country well if he has such a bunch of insects under his control?"

"And I am not exaggerating."

"These officials can cooperate with the villains to deceive the emperor today and become accomplices in assassinating my son. Then one day, they can also become accomplices in assassinating the emperor."

"So even though it was a son who was assassinated this time, in essence it was still a son who suffered on behalf of his father."

"After all, these officials were trained under the leadership of our father..."

"Pfft!"

Before he finished speaking, Su Wen finally couldn't stand any longer. He knew, he had known that things would develop in this direction, and that if this father and son met, there would be no good result!
Then it was time for His Majesty to fly into a rage. Coupled with the suspicion of usurping power this time, the Crown Prince had done something terrible this time, and it was definitely not as simple as just confinement...

result.

"Hehehehe..."

Su Wen inexplicably heard Liu Che's laughter. It was not the kind of suppressed laughter of anger, nor was it the cold laughter containing murderous intent. He even heard a hint of heartiness.

"?"

Su Wen secretly raised his head and glanced at Liu Che out of the corner of his eye.

I saw that Liu Che's frown had relaxed without him knowing when, and there was no trace of anger on his face. Instead, there was a "caring" smile, like a strong man looking down on the weak.

Your Majesty, are you laughing out of anger?
Or are you mad?
Or... I'm used to it?

"?"

Liu Ju was also a little puzzled. He really didn't understand why Liu Che was laughing.

Under normal circumstances, shouldn't Liu Che be furious now? Even if it is inconvenient for Su Wen to draw out the Seven Wolves, shouldn't he still slam the seat and smash the table?
Could it be that the "time travel benefits" loophole has been upgraded recently?

It has already started to work at this point, and the shooting has become so accurate?
"So, you had this in mind, without considering any consequences, and executed them all for the crime of assassinating the crown prince, and also gave yourself the nickname of the evil crown prince?"

Facing Liu Ju's puzzled gaze, Liu Che asked with a smile.

"What do you mean, father?"

Liu Ju became more and more confused.

"Haha, my stupid son."

Liu Che laughed again, and then waved to Su Wen who was already kneeling on the ground.

"Su Wen, you go down first."

"..."

At this moment, Su Wen was somewhat reluctant to leave this place. His curiosity had been completely aroused. He really wanted to know why Liu Che behaved like that today and what he was going to say to Liu Che next.

But since the emperor's order was before him, he really dared not disobey. He could only say "yes" reluctantly, then stood up and quietly left.

Until this time.

Liu Che then showed the same smile that seemed to show his care for the mentally retarded child and asked:
"Have you always thought that you are very smart and powerful, that you can handle things on your own and that you can talk about state affairs in front of me?"

"What exactly does Father want to say?"

Liu Ju really didn't like this smile, but he didn't know why Liu Che asked this question.

He just felt that Liu Che was extremely abnormal today, and it was an abnormality that had nothing to do with the "time-travel blessing" loophole, which was completely incomprehensible.

Liu Che sneered, then turned and walked towards the bookshelf not far away.

Then he took down a wooden box that contained a lot of bamboo slips, put it on the table in front of him with a "duang" sound, and waved to Liu Ju:
"Come and take a look."

"Take a good look at what your uncle and your two cousins ​​think of the stupid things you did in Hejian this time, so that you can have a better understanding of yourself."
