I, the prince, only want to be deposed.

Chapter 32 Summoning the King of Qi's Envoy

"Thank you, Mr. Su, for the reminder."

Huo Guang pondered for a moment, and saw more and more people kneeling around him.

In the end, he thanked Su Wen and knelt on the ground with his head bent.

Just knelt down not long ago.

"Bang!"

The gate of Qiufang was opened forcefully, and Liu Che walked out with a dark face. His footsteps made a thumping sound, and every step seemed to crush the bricks beneath his feet.

I saw a group of people kneeling outside.

He just glanced at Su Wen with his eyes, which were still bloodshot, and walked out on his own.

"Let's go back to the palace!"

Su Wen understood and shouted quickly, leading a group of eunuchs and Qimen warriors to follow quickly.

At the same time, he did not forget to call Chang Rong to his side and whispered: "Chang Rong, warn everyone, no matter what you saw or heard just now, don't spread a single word, otherwise..."

"promise."

"So are the people from the Prince's Mansion!"

"know."

……

"Farewell, Father..."

Looking at Liu Che's back as he left angrily.

Liu Ju bowed slightly, but the corners of his mouth curled up unconsciously, and he couldn't even suppress the excitement in his heart.

Finally I said it...

Oh Heaven, oh Earth, Liu Che finally uttered the word "waste".

This was a small step for Liu Che, but a big step for Liu Ju.

After all, there is a fundamental difference between just thinking about a thought in your mind and speaking the thought out loud.

You have no joke!

Liu Ju could even vaguely see that Liu Che was about to formally take action to depose and enthrone the crown prince, and he was about to achieve his ultimate goal.

But at the same time, he also knew that this process would take time.

To depose and enthronize the crown prince was no small matter for the entire Han Dynasty and the court. They had to summon all the ministers to discuss the matter, offer sacrifices to the ancestral temple, and find an auspicious day...

In short, the feudal royal family had a lot of red tape, and it would take several months to complete a set of procedures.

But as long as everything is moving towards the ultimate goal, Liu Ju has enough patience.

At the same time, Liu Ju also had a little idea.

He must be deposed before Wei Qing dies.

According to historical records, Wei Qing died in the fifth year of Yuanfeng, which is seven years ago.

As long as Wei Qing was still alive and he had not committed an unforgivable crime, he would never be executed. He would most likely be made a king and thrown into a remote place to serve as his country.

After that, as a full-level human, he can develop secretly and prepare in advance for other dangers he may face in the future.

Because of this relationship, his mother Wei Zifu will not be affected too much, at least her life will be safe.

Just as I was thinking about it.

"Your Highness..."

Guo Zhen and Ji Ping had quietly come to his side, their faces filled with fear and trepidation.

"Ok?"

Liu Ju looked up when he heard the voice.

When Guo Zhen and Ji Ping saw Liu Ju's face, they were both stunned: "Your Highness, are you... laughing?"

"No, you are mistaken."

Liu Ju quickly restrained his mouth, put on a serious face and said,

"The Han Dynasty ruled the world with filial piety. How could I laugh when my father was furious? Am I such a disloyal and unfilial person in your eyes?"

"I dare not. Maybe I am dazzled."

Guo Zhen and Ji Ping quickly bowed and apologized.

They clearly saw Liu Ju smiling just now, with the corners of his mouth almost reaching his ears!
But if the prince said no, then that definitely meant no, and they had no right to comment.

What's more, the emperor even cursed the prince with the word "useless", so how could the prince still laugh?
It makes no sense at all!
The two of them quickly convinced themselves, and then Ji Ping said hesitantly: "It's just that Prince... although we, the subordinates, should not ask about today's affairs, we also know that it is a serious matter. Do you want to... discuss a set of rules together?" The two of them really wanted to gossip about what happened in Qiufang just now. This gossip was simply too tempting.

At the same time, this matter was too dangerous for the prince's officials like them. They felt like a deadly sword was hanging over their heads.

If I don’t figure it out, I’m afraid I won’t be able to sleep well recently.

"No need, I have my own rules in mind."

Liu Ju, however, spoke with confidence.

"That's good, that's good. In that case, I will withdraw first."

Seeing Liu Ju's reaction, Ji Ping could no longer ask any more questions. He hesitated for a moment, looked at Guo Zhen again, bowed and took his leave.

"Your Highness, I will take my leave now."

Seeing this, Guo Zhen had no choice but to follow.

……

On the way back to Weiyang Palace.

"Su Wen! Su Wen!"

As if under a dark cloud, Liu Che's voice suddenly came from the chariot with six golden roots.

"Your Majesty, I am here."

Su Wenben was following behind the imperial carriage. He was startled when he heard the dragon's roar. He quickly ran forward in small steps and got under the curtain on the side of the carriage, waiting with his head lowered.

"Didn't the King of Qi, the King of Yan, and the King of Guangling all send envoys to the capital to ask for an audience a few days ago?"

The curtain was not lifted, but Liu Che's low and suppressed voice soon sounded from behind.

"Yes."

Su Wen's expression changed slightly and he nodded in agreement.

King of Qi Liu Hong, King of Yan Liu Dan, and King of Guangling Liu Xu were the second, third, and fourth princes respectively.

A few days ago, the news that Liu Ju destroyed the dikes and flooded the fields reached the capital. A few days later, the envoys of the three princes arrived and wrote letters requesting to go to the disaster area to comfort the people and control the flood.

Anyone can see what their plan is.

It was simply because he saw that Crown Prince Liu Ju was about to fall, so he sent an envoy to express his loyalty and filial piety to Liu Che and see if there was any chance to pick up this pie that fell from the sky.

Coincidentally, a report on the disaster in the four counties on the north bank also arrived at that time.

When Emperor Liu Che learned that this incident did not cause the expected disaster but instead turned out to be a blessing in disguise, he was busy looking for Dong Zhongshu to debate with him, and the matter was never followed up.

By the way, it cannot be said that there is no follow-up at all.

In fact, Liu Che once privately scolded these princes for having a "power-struggling heart", and his words implied that he was preparing to warn them.

But later, more news came into the palace.

Liu Che was also overwhelmed, so the matter was temporarily put on hold.

So now, what does it mean that Liu Che suddenly mentioned these three princes?

"Is their envoy still in Chang'an?"

Liu Che's voice came from behind the curtain again.

Su Wen came back to his senses: "As far as I know, they should still be waiting for the imperial edict at the Golden Horse Gate."

"Summon the King of Qi's envoy. I want to see him."

Behind the curtain,
"As for the envoys of the King of Yan and the King of Guangling, you will draft an imperial edict for me and order them to take it back, reprimanding the King of Yan and the King of Guangling for condoning their subordinates' violation of Han laws, and reducing their fiefdoms by three counties as a punishment!"

"?"

Hearing this, the whip in the hand of Huo Guang, who was driving the carriage in front, trembled slightly.

Although they all sent envoys, the emperor only summoned the envoy from the King of Qi, but punished the King of Yan and the King of Guangling. What kind of operation was this?
the most important is.

The emperor had just threatened to depose the crown prince in the crown prince's mansion, and now he summoned the envoy of the king of Qi...

This incident alone is enough to make people think terrified!

Could it be that this time, the emperor is really going to take action for real? !

"……promise."

Su Wen's face turned pale when he heard this, and even his steps to follow the carriage slowed down.

"besides!"

A dragon roar was heard from behind the curtain again.
