I, the prince, only want to be deposed.

Chapter 359 I Want to Become the Man of Dunhuang King

"..."

Su Wen didn't dare to respond casually.

After all, Liu Che had just deposed Liu Ju, and now Liu Ju had given birth to a son who was conceived at the same time as Emperor Yao. If this were to get out, it would be like revealing the emperor's aura in advance.

If Liu Ju succeeds to the throne in the future, that would not be a big deal, because his eldest son would be the future emperor.

But now he has been deposed, and it is still unknown who will inherit Liu Che's throne in the future. No matter which prince is fortunate enough to succeed to the throne in the future, I am afraid he will not be able to tolerate such a nephew who was born with the aura of an emperor, right?
Even the current Liu Che may not be able to tolerate such a grandson. After all, this is very likely to be a hidden danger that will shake the country in the future...

However, this time Su Wen really thought too much. Liu Che not only did not have any scruples at this moment, but instead thought in his heart:

"This rebellious son even showed such a strange sign when giving birth to a child. Could he really be the one and only destined prince charming?"

At this moment he suddenly remembered many things that happened before.

Dayu Ancient River Channel, Tianlu Box, One Country, Two Politics, Sky Lantern, Bluff, Crime of Huge Assets of Unknown Origin, Operation, Deprivation of Political Rights for Life, Compass, United Protectorate, Overseas Silver Mountain...

These were all things and ideas that he and the civil and military officials in the court had never seen or heard of before.

For Liu Ju, it was like drinking plain water. He took out one thing after another, and every time he took out something, it would definitely give people an unexpected surprise and always have miraculous effects.

No matter how self-important I am, I know it is impossible for me to end up like this rebellious son!

If this isn't the Prince of Fortune, how else can it be explained?

With these in mind.

Liu Che silently opened Liu Ju's "good news" memorial.

The CPC raised three issues in the memorial.

The first thing is to explain the duration of Yishuo’s pregnancy.

Liu Ju claimed in his memorial that Yi Shuo's pregnancy in Hejian State ended in less than three months, and she became pregnant again before Liu Ju went to the Korean Peninsula, so it was actually a normal ten-month pregnancy.

The death of the first child was not reported because it might cause discussion and hurt the reputation of the royal family.
"..."

When he saw this, Liu Che frowned again.

He didn't know whether he should believe Liu Ju's words. Maybe this rebellious son finally wised up and realized that such a strange phenomenon might cause taboos, so he deliberately used this statement to try to get away with it?
The second thing is about the name of this imperial grandson.

Liu Ju planned to name this grandson "Liu Fuling", but he still wanted to ask his grandfather Liu Che to help him check it out first. If Liu Che had other ideas, he could ask him to give the name.
"Liu Fuling?"

When he saw this, Liu Che repeatedly chewed on this strange name. After all, the Western Han Dynasty also valued single names. Although it was not a hard and fast rule in law, most people would follow it.

"Fuling, why does this name sound so familiar to me? Why does it leave such a deep impression on me?"

"I remember now!"

"When Zhang Qian first opened up the Western Regions, he mentioned to me that there was a powerful country further west of the Parthian Empire. The people there called the cities Fuling (pronunciation). I hoped to visit these Fuling one day, so I kept these two words in mind at that time."

"But these two words were just made up by me based on their pronunciation. Even Su Wen has no idea. How come this rebellious son can have the same pronunciation as me?"

"Could it be that he and I have a telepathic connection?"

The third thing is about Liu Ju himself.

Liu Ju said that he had no complaints about being deposed as the crown prince. When he stabbed Jiang Chong to death in the street, he had thought of the possible consequences and was willing to accept such punishment.

He did not regret it. Ji Ping had worked hard in Bowang Garden for many years, and Jiang Chong beat him to death, which also endangered the safety of Yishuo and his mother.

He must do this out of emotion, reason, master, husband, fatherhood and justice, and he would not change his mind even if he was given another chance.

At this point, he did not ask for Liu Che's forgiveness, but only asked Liu Che to make him a king. He was to be made a king in Dunhuang County, and to go to the country immediately, guarding the country with the remaining body of a marquis!

When I saw Liu Ju’s last request.

Liu Che's pupils began to move slightly, and his eyes were full of disbelief:
"How can this be!"

"Could it be that this rebellious son really has a telepathic connection with me?"

"I have just thought about going west through Yumen Pass, and have been discussing in the inner court about sending troops to attack Loulan and Gushi. There is no plan yet, and the people in the inner court have not yet dispersed, but this rebellious son's memorial has already arrived."

"He asked for permission to be crowned the King of Dunhuang, but he didn't know that after leaving Dunhuang Yumen Pass, the first place he arrived at was Loulan, less than a thousand miles away, and Gushi Kingdom was not far to the north of Loulan. This rebellious son seemed to know exactly what I was thinking, and was still trying to share my worries?"

"What a great marquis guarding the country's gate... Even I am ashamed of my ambition. Does he want to use this reputation to legitimately take back the position of crown prince?"

"It seems that my frustration education has taken effect. This rebellious son has begun to learn to use his brain."

"But he doesn't even think about whether he has the ability to do this."

Liu Che suddenly wanted to meet Liu Ju, even if it was just to laugh at him or reprimand him a few times, to make him understand his own weight and give up this unrealistic and extremely dangerous idea.

All in all, he hadn't seen Liu Ju for more than half a year since Liu Ju went to the Korean Peninsula.

He admitted that Liu Ju was somewhat adventurous.

But at the same time, he also remembered a stupid Confucian scholar named Di Shan, who strongly advocated marriage with the Xiongnu. Liu Che was unhappy about this, so he asked him:

"I have ordered you to be the governor of a county. Can you resist the Xiongnu from entering and plundering?"

Di Shan replied: "No."

Liu Che asked again: "What about a county?"

Di Shan still replied: "No."

Liu Che asked again: "Where is the beacon barrier?"

Di Shan finally said, "Yes."

So Liu Che sent him to guard a small border beacon, and only a month later, Di Shan was beheaded by the invading Xiongnu...

The same was true for Liu Ju. Although he served as the Central Military Inspector during the conquest of the Western Qiang, he also went out to sea with the army some time ago to deal with the short savages on the islands.

But what is the level of the Qiang people? What is the level of those short savages?
That was just an overkill. Liu Ju was just an attendant. How could he be compared with someone who was guarding the border?
Besides, what kind of place is Dunhuang? Even the city wall of Yumen Pass only covers a small half of Dunhuang County. There are still a large number of Hu people who surrendered before living in the territory. How can he control them?

With these in mind.

Liu Che finally waved his hand to Su Wen:
"Su Wen, convey my order and summon Liu Ju to the palace to see me. I want to verify some things."

"promise."

Although Su Wen was puzzled, he turned around and did as he was told.

This is exactly the effect Liu Ju hoped to achieve.

Some of his abilities could only be put into play after he met Liu Che, so that he could achieve his true goals.

Liu Che thought Liu Ju was on the second level.

I am on the fourth floor.

But in fact, Liu Ju was on the fifth floor, just waiting for an opportunity to spread his wings.

Now he is no longer a canary, but a Saker Falcon. It is not so easy to get him back once he flies out of the cage!
