I, the prince, only want to be deposed.

Chapter 352 This time the position of crown prince cannot be kept!

"Take it. I asked you to keep it."

Seeing that Wei Qing and Wei Zifu both knelt down, Liu Che turned around, rolled up the edict and handed it to Wei Qing.

"I beg Your Majesty to destroy this edict!"

Wei Qing did not even raise his head, nor did he reach out to take it. He just leaned forward and said in a muffled voice,
"Your Majesty's fatherly love is as strong as a mountain. Now you need to discipline the crown prince and ensure his longevity. This is the heaven-given rule of the king and the father. How can you allow others to interfere? Why do you need to issue this edict?"

"If the prince is educated and understands your majesty's painstaking efforts, he will change his ways from now on."

"Your Majesty is so wise, how could he not see this? He will naturally entrust the fate of the Han Dynasty to him."

"If the prince is stupid and ignorant, he will fail your majesty's expectations and remain stubborn and unrepentant."

"If Your Majesty entrusts the fate of the Han Dynasty to him, it will only bring disaster to the country and the people, and make the Han Dynasty repeat the footsteps of the Qin Dynasty. Not only will Your Majesty be restless, but I, an humble minister, will also be a sinner who aided and abetted the tyrant."

"Therefore, I beg Your Majesty to destroy this edict immediately and not act on your own because of your deep love for your child!"

"Your Majesty, by issuing this edict at this moment, although your fatherly love for the Crown Prince makes me cry, it also disregards the fate of the Han Dynasty and the people of the Han Dynasty. This is not what a wise ruler should do."

"The fate of the Han Dynasty and its people can only be entrusted to a prince who is truly virtuous and talented. Your Majesty, please think twice!"

That’s all I have to say.

Wei Zifu also kept her body bent, and after a slight inner struggle, she echoed:
"Although your majesty does not allow me to interfere in government affairs, I have no choice but to make a few comments now that things have come to this."

"I dare to ask Your Majesty to reconsider and immediately abandon this plan. Your Majesty is now in good health, and it may not be auspicious to issue a will at this time!"

"Besides, as Wei Qing said, if Juer never achieves success and continues to behave recklessly like he did today, even with this edict, it will probably be difficult to convince the people, and it will only plunge the Han Dynasty into turmoil. It is still unknown whether this edict will be a blessing or a curse for him."

"Your Majesty deposed him... in order to discipline him and keep him safe. Isn't this what I wish for?"

"As the saying goes, 'a loving mother often spoils her son'. It's all my fault for spoiling him. That's why he's so arrogant and domineering. I will also strictly discipline him from now on. I believe that when he changes his ways, Your Majesty will make him the Crown Prince again."

"So what difference does it make whether there is this edict or not?"

"That being the case..."

Liu Che was embarrassed when he heard this, and after a moment of hesitation, he said,
"I will hang this edict on the moon beam here. This edict will always be valid. I hope you understand my painstaking efforts."

"His Majesty……"

Seeing that Wei Qing and Wei Zifu wanted to say something, Liu Che raised his hand to interrupt them and said earnestly:

"Okay, I have made up my mind. I will not discuss this matter any more... I have had a Huo Qubing, and I like him very much, but I don't want to have another one."

"promise."

Wei Qing and Wei Zifu's hearts trembled again when they heard this.

They knew clearly that Liu Che was referring not only to the incident in which Huo Qubing shot Li Gan to death with a hidden arrow. Although the impact of that incident has not been eliminated until now, there are still many people who criticize Liu Che for shielding Huo Qubing, and there are still many people who are dissatisfied with the Wei and Huo families.

It is a pity that Sima Qian has not yet written "Records of the Grand Historian".

Otherwise they would know that Sima Qian always held a similar position.

They knew clearly that Liu Che's words were actually a double entendre.

Even Wei Qing secretly thought that Huo Qubing's untimely death was probably the best outcome. This was because Huo Qubing's life was too smooth. After he was awarded the title of Marquis at the age of 18, he was like a cheat all the way, and he was always successful. He could definitely be called the fastest and sharpest blade in the Han Dynasty.

But at the same time, under the connivance and protection of Liu Che and the support of many halos, Huo Qubing's mentality was also changing.

After shooting Li Gan to death with a hidden arrow, he dared to ignore Wei Qing's opposition and openly led the ministers to jointly submit a petition, requesting Emperor Liu Che to appoint the three princes Liu Hong, Liu Dan and Liu Xu as princes, and requiring the princes to leave the capital and return to their countries!
When a minister openly interferes in the emperor's family affairs, the nature of the matter has changed.

This is tantamount to forcing the emperor to abdicate, and it is madly touching Liu Che's reverse scale!

Wei Qing could even imagine that Huo Qubing suddenly died of illness while preparing for the final decisive battle between Han and the Huns. Otherwise, after the Huns were defeated, Liu Che would probably not be able to tolerate Huo Qubing anymore.

A knife that is too fast and too sharp can not only hurt others, but also hurt yourself.

And now Liu Ju is repeating the mistakes of Huo Qubing in everything he does...

……

Coming out of Qingliang Palace.

Wei Qing and Wei Zifu looked at each other in silence.

It was not until they parted that Wei Zifu looked at Wei Qing and asked in a very low voice:

"Wei Qing, do you think what His Majesty said today is true or false?"

"There is truth in falsehood, and there is falsehood in truth."

Wei Qing sighed and said,
"We only need to consider whether Er can succeed to the throne. Your Majesty has much more to consider. Therefore, even if Your Majesty acts out of sincerity, there must be some ulterior motive behind it."

"But this time, the truth should be greater than the falsehood."

"After all, even if Your Majesty is retreating to advance, if it is only to stabilize us, there is no need to go to such a level of showing weakness. Your Majesty is not used to showing weakness."

Wei Zifu nodded slightly:
"Over the past few years, His Majesty has also changed a bit. I feel this more deeply than you do."

"If it weren't for your majesty's indulgence and forgiveness, Ju'er would have been deposed countless times. Sometimes I can't help but feel sorry for your majesty, blaming myself for not teaching Ju'er well, and often doing stupid things to anger him."

"Especially when Your Majesty just compared Ju'er to Qubing, I could really hear the tone of disappointment. Perhaps Your Majesty did this for Ju'er's sake?"

Wei Qing sighed again, looked at the cotton-like clouds in the sky and said:
"In short, Juer's position as the crown prince will definitely not be preserved this time."

"But I would rather believe that this is an opportunity that Your Majesty has won for Juer out of fatherly love and convinced his heart after the struggle between heaven and man. A blessing in disguise... Next, not only Juer, but also the Wei and Huo families should be prepared to endure humiliation and bear heavy burdens. I will arrange this matter in advance."

"I also hope that Zier can truly grow up from this."

"In fact, what your Majesty just said is not without reason. Blind prosperity will only make people crazy, and appropriate adversity can make people grow."

"Sister, you have to relax this time."

"You have to believe that Er'er has extraordinary abilities, but his daily ways of doing things are biased. If he grows further from now on, it will be even more difficult for the other princes to compete with him. Whether Er'er will have a chance to succeed to the throne in the future is definitely not something that can be determined by a decree of succession!"

"?"

Upon hearing this, Wei Zifu trembled again and her eyes became more complicated.

She could feel that her younger brother seemed to be changing subtly.
