I, the prince, only want to be deposed.

Chapter 341 Father wants to raise Gu, and I am the golden silkworm Gu!

"Jiang Chong..."

The moment he heard this name, a cold light flashed across Liu Ju's eyes.

In Liu Ju's heart, there are many people in this world who can be forgiven and saved, whether intentionally or unintentionally.

For example, Su Wen, Gongsun Jingsheng, Han Shuo... These people are more or less related to the witchcraft disaster, and are inextricably linked to their own tragedies in history.

But their essence is just to go with the flow, or make mistakes unintentionally, or just do their duty.

Only Jiang Chong is the mastermind behind the witchcraft disaster!

Just because he alone harmed tens of thousands of people, dug up Wei Zifu's Pepper Room, and used a paulownia wood doll to force himself onto the road of no return...and this is not to mention the Han men who died in the five-day bloody battle with Liu Quti in Chang'an City after he raised the rebellion.

This is a traitor in the true sense of the word. No matter what his purpose is, he is never worthy of forgiveness. The sooner he is eliminated, the less trouble there will be.

This is not only for Liu Ju himself, but also for the destiny of the Han Dynasty.

It is no exaggeration to say that this one person and one incident had shaken the foundation of the Han Dynasty. In addition, Li Guangli was defeated and surrendered soon after. If Liu Che had not issued the "Luntai Edict" in time to express his intention to rest with the people, and if he still had the means to control the government, he would have been only one step away from becoming a king who lost his country.

Did Liu Che still want to become the Emperor Wu of Han who would go down in history?
Haha, Liu Ju felt that he would only get a posthumous title of "Li" or "Zhou" in the end, and become Emperor Li of Han or Emperor Zhou of Han, bearing the infamy for thousands of years, and being buried in Maoling would only become a shame that the capable ministers and generals of this dynasty would avoid.

"Your Highness knows this person?"

Zhao Zhou naturally couldn't tell what Liu Ju was thinking, and asked with some confusion.

"I don't know, and I don't need to know."

Liu Ju shook his head and smiled.
"In that case, I will go in first and wait for you at the Golden Horse Gate. Captain Jin, let's go first."

Jin Midi's "invisibility" method is indeed powerful, but it is only effective for people who are not familiar with him or do not pay much attention to him. Once they notice him, although they may sometimes ignore him inadvertently, it is not so easy to completely forget him.

At least on the way back, Liu Ju never forgot that the person driving in front was Jin Midi.

"promise."

Jin Midi, who was driving in front, responded and drove the carriage towards the bus office.

After passing the security check and entering the Weiyang Palace, when he was alone, he suddenly lowered his voice and said:

"Your Highness, I feel the need to remind you that you need to be on guard against Jiang Chong these days and make sure you don't let him catch you making mistakes to avoid unnecessary trouble."

"Oh? Captain Jin knows something about Jiang Chong. What secrets does he know?"

Liu Ju lifted the car curtain with some surprise.

"I don't know, my subordinate."

Jin Midi did not turn around, and remained focused on driving, only his lips moved slightly.

"However, Jiang Chong's current behavior is similar to that of a cruel official. Cruel officials usually gain the trust of Your Majesty by not fearing power. The more powerful the person they report or impeach is, and the more he becomes a lone minister hated by everyone, the more trust he will gain from Your Majesty and the more he will be used by Your Majesty."

"I remind Your Highness that I don't want Your Highness to become this person's stepping stone."

"In addition, the timing of His Majesty's appointment of this person as Xiu Yi Zhizhi was quite subtle, just before His Majesty returned from the Korean Peninsula to report."

"From what I know about Your Majesty, Your Majesty has always been well-targeted. Although this move is intended to punish the nobles and court officials, these nobles and court officials can rely on the cruel officials of the court. There is no need to set up a special embroidered uniform to point the finger. Therefore, this time it is definitely not just them that are targeted..."

"That's all I have to say. Your Highness should understand what I mean, right?"

"..."

Liu Ju nodded slightly when he heard this.

"Thank you for your reminder, Captain Jin. I now know what to do about this matter."

He had to admit that Jin Midi was much more cunning than he had imagined. In other words, he was a relatively low-key person and would not easily interfere in other people's affairs. Otherwise, it would be no problem for him to control Zhao Zhou, Ni Kuan, Han Shuo, Yang Pu, Li Ji and others in this trip.

Even if he were allowed to participate in dealing with the matter of his own secret voyage, Chang Rong might not have to be "forced" to fall into the sea, and the risk of leakage could have been perfectly resolved.

Speaking of which, it was Jin Midi who discussed with them how to report to Emperor Liu Che this time.

Maybe these guys have already been completely controlled by Jin Midi and have no choice but to cooperate with him in "deceiving the emperor"...

If that's the case, there shouldn't be any big problems, right?
"Your Highness, there is no need to thank me. I reminded you only to avoid any problems and to avoid exposing things that your Majesty does not need to know."

Jin Midi's voice was still very soft, and his tone was extremely calm.

"I am loyal to only Your Majesty. From today on, I will no longer have any relationship with Your Majesty, and Your Majesty does not need to take me to heart."

"it is good."

Liu Ju readily agreed.

It is really a pleasant thing to work with such a person, who is worthy of the word "gentleman's friendship". If Liu Ju was in Liu Che's position, he would definitely choose him as a regent.

Even his cousin Huo Guang seemed a little dull compared to him. However, Huo Guang should be hiding his true strength now, and of course it is possible that he has not yet fully grown up...

Let’s consider Jiang Chong’s matter first.

Jin Midi's reminder was indeed not without reason. Perhaps Jiang Chong was promoted deliberately by Liu Che to pressure and check him. Historically, many of the ways this cheap father used to rule people were based on "raising poisonous insects". Previously, King Qi Liu Hong and Zhumuyuan given to Liu Hong also had obvious signs of "raising poisonous insects".

In the matter of Jiang Chong, Liu Che was obviously eventually bitten back by the "gu" he had raised, and accidentally created a witchcraft disaster.

But if this is the case, it does explain one thing.

Liu Che should not have any serious intention of taking any action on the affairs of the Korean Peninsula and Japan for the time being, otherwise there would be no need to "raise the poison", right?
However, Liu Che could not have imagined that this time Liu Ju was not going to follow his ideas, and he and Jiang Chong would honestly stay in the scorpion pot and watch them like crickets fighting.

They would not live in peace with Liu Hong as they did before, and they would not even be friendly to each other.

Father, do you want to raise poisonous insects and watch them fight with each other?

Congratulations, father, you succeeded.

This time you will get the most poisonous "Golden Silkworm Gu" in the world!
……

Jin Midi drove Liu Ju's five-horse carriage and stopped in front of the Golden Horse Gate.

Liu Ju jumped off the carriage, and immediately an official from the Central Stables came forward to take over the horses and carriage.

One of the officials, who was about 30 years old, always had an aunt-like smile on his face when he looked at Liu Ju. He was busy running around and seemed quite eager, but it did not feel like he was trying to please him, but rather an indescribable enthusiasm.

Liu Ju had met this official several times before during the morning court sessions.

This was how he looked at that time. Although he didn't say anything extra except the greeting, he always gave people an indescribable sense of warmth and closeness.

"What's your name?"

This time Liu Ju still had some free time, so he asked the question.

"In reply to your Highness, my surname is Su, my given name is Wu, and my courtesy name is Ziqing. My father, Su Jian, is currently the governor of Dai County. Previously, my father followed General Wei to fight against the Xiongnu. During the fierce battle with the Xiongnu, his entire army was wiped out. After escaping, he was nearly beheaded. Thanks to General Wei for not killing people indiscriminately, he was able to save his life."

Su Wu bowed and replied quickly,

"My father often taught me that his life was saved by General Wei, and I will never forget his life-saving grace."

"..."

Upon hearing this, Jin Midi glanced at Su Wu, as if he had some complaints about his answer, but he didn't say much.

Instead, Liu Ju immediately opened his eyes wide and looked up and down at this thirty-year-old man:

"You are actually the shepherd Su Wu?"

"Eh?"

Su Wu was stunned.
"Your Highness, have you made a mistake? I have never herded sheep in my life. I have only raised a few dogs at home. Now I am more adept at raising horses."

"Don't worry about the details. Raising horses and raising sheep are similar."

Liu Ju knew he had said something wrong, but he didn't feel embarrassed at all. He just smiled and said,
"However, with your ability and loyalty, it is really a waste of your talent to be a horse breeder in the middle stable. When you have time, come to my Bowang Garden and tell me what your specialties are. I will recommend you to my father to serve the country in a more useful place!"

"Uh, this..."

For a moment, Su Wu didn't know how to respond to this.

It's not that he was flattered. He just felt that Liu Ju was a little strange, in a way that he couldn't explain.

"?"

Jin Midi looked at Liu Ju in surprise.

What the hell is going on? How are raising horses and raising sheep related?

How can you see the ability and loyalty of a person without even knowing his name, and even pat your chest to express your willingness to recommend this person to Your Majesty?
Could it be that he heard that this man's father had a life-saving favor with General Wei, so he regarded him as his own and planned to train him to be a trusted henchman in the court?

Isn't this a bit too hasty?

at this time.

"I have met His Highness."

A familiar voice suddenly came from not far away.

The person who came was none other than Su Wen, who had personally killed "Su Liu".

Coming up quickly, Su Wen lowered his eyes and bowed, saying:
"Your Highness, His Majesty has sent this old servant to deliver a message that His Majesty will not see Your Highness today."

"Only summon Zhao Zhou, Ni Kuan, Han Shuo, Jin Midi, Li Ji and others to the palace for an audience. Your Highness, please go back to Bowang Garden and clean up your ass before reporting back."
