I, the prince, only want to be deposed.

Chapter 45 Risking one's life to advise
Heartwarming!

It’s so heartwarming!

After listening to Dong Zhongshu's words, even though Liu Che had many dissatisfactions with Liu Ju before,

Even though his heart had been tempered through thousands of trials and tribulations and had become as hard as stone, he couldn't help feeling touched at this moment.

This rebellious son, what can I say to you...

I can only say he is so good!
He understands people's hearts so well, especially my heart!
Over the past few decades, no one and no event have ever made me feel as warmed as I do now.

It even got to the point where his nose felt sore and he almost cried in front of all the civil and military officials.

Only him!
"Present it, Su Wen, present it to me."

Liu Che tried his best to control his emotions and keep his voice as calm as possible.

"promise."

The wooden box was soon presented to Liu Che. He couldn't wait to open the box, pick up the bamboo slips and read the contents on them.

【The Yinggu Ceremony! 】

[When Huangdi fought with Yandi at Banquan and with Chiyou at Zhulu, they consulted Wuxian for divination and performed grand ceremonies with drums and pillars...]

[Later, Huangdi held the Fengshan Ceremony, and also performed the Yinggu Ceremony...]

[This is what I want! ]

[This is exactly what I want! ]

Liu Che's hands had begun to tremble slightly, and an uncontrollable sour feeling once again appeared in his nose.

motherfucker.

Why is this rebellious son like this?
Why does this rebellious son understand so well?
Liu Che couldn't help but recall the shock and anger he felt when he learned that Liu Ju had destroyed the dikes and flooded the fields.

I recalled the surprise I felt when I learned that this move not only did not cause any harm, but instead benefited the country and the people.

I recalled the indescribable heartwarming feeling I felt when I learned that this was all carefully planned by him.

This rebellious son knows how to suppress others before praising them!

So advanced!

Just like this time, imagine if he had not deliberately opposed my holding of the Fengshan Ceremony before, and if he had not deliberately hurt my heart with every word that day.

How could I feel so heartbroken at this moment as never before?
Why would my nose be sore?

It’s fake, it turns out he made it on purpose!

It’s all preparation!

This rebellious son has been paving the way for today from the very beginning, and everything he did was just to pluck my heartstrings at this moment!
This was definitely not something that Wei Qing could teach. His cautious nature would never allow him to do such a thing.

Wei Zifu is even less capable than this!
Including the teachers and officials in the Prince's Mansion, they also lack such courage and wisdom.

Could this be talent, the imperial talent inherited from me? !

Thinking of this, Liu Che shifted his gaze from the two words "Liu Ju" signed before Dong Zhongshu on the bamboo slips and turned to Liu Ju himself.

But at this moment Liu Ju turned his head to the side and glared at Dong Zhongshu angrily.

"Pretending! This rebellious son is still pretending with me!"

at the same time.

Huangmen Shilang Su Wen also looked at Liu Ju in surprise, and a trace of fear arose in his heart:
"It's a mistake... From today on, you have to inform others of the situation. Don't have any second thoughts until the final verdict is made..."

The eunuch Chang Rong was filled with astonishment, and a chill ran down his back:
"Is this still the prince I know?"

"The prince I know has such means?"

"Could it be that someone in the palace informed him in advance... But that doesn't make sense. The memorial submitted by Dong Zhongshu could not have been completed in more than ten days. At that time, although Your Majesty had the idea of ​​Fengshan, he didn't know that the sorcerer could not explain the etiquette and regulations of the Fengshan ceremony, and today's court meeting was out of the question."

"Could it be that the Crown Prince really has the ability to predict the future, or is it true that, as Dong Zhongshu said, he and Your Majesty have a telepathic connection?"

"Then... am I on the wrong side?"

"Oh, come to think of it... didn't your majesty order Dong Zhongshu to debate with the crown prince? How did he end up in the same boat with the crown prince? It's unbelievable..."

A hint of intense surprise appeared in the eyes of General Wei Qing, and a little man in his mind was clenching his fists in celebration:
"I knew it!"

"I knew it since the last edict that 'correction is harmless'!"

"My nephew is not an ordinary person. He is the same type of person as Qu Bing. His journey to the edge of the abyss is all an illusion. It is a heavenly path that others cannot imagine!"

"It is precisely because of this that when His Majesty recalled the King of Qi and granted him the right to exile Mu Yuan, I was able to remain calm and steady like a mountain!"

If Princess Pingyang Liu Zhao heard what he was thinking, she would definitely have laughed out loud at this moment.

I don't know who has been refusing to eat or sleep these days, and has been sighing in the study all day? You call this "calm as water, steady as a mountain"?
At this moment, all the civil and military officials in the hall had their own thoughts. Although they looked expressionless, they all looked at Liu Ju with new eyes in their hearts.

Only Liu Hong did not hide the admiration and respect on his face, grinning and laughing:
"As expected of Brother Ju, Brother Ju is the best!"

……

A moment later.

It was in the Xuanshi Hall, which had less than a hundred people but more than 30,000 minds, that Liu Che finally calmed down and finished reading the memorial submitted by Dong Zhongshu.

Looking at the ministers below, Liu Che smiled faintly:

"My dear ministers, I have read the memorials submitted by the Crown Prince and Dong Zhongshu. The etiquette and rules in them are in line with my wishes. Do you have anything else to add?"

The emperor had already said he was satisfied, so what else could these officials say? How dare they say anything? They all stood up to congratulate him:

"Congratulations to your majesty, congratulations to your majesty."

"Your Majesty is a man of heavenly virtue. You should hold a grand Fengshan ceremony to report your merits to heaven and earth and bring blessings to the people. This will be a blessing for the Han people!"

"Your Majesty, may heaven bless the Han people..."

If you can speak, you naturally have to say a few more words at this time to perform well in front of Liu Che.

However, in this harmonious atmosphere.

Apart from Liu Ju's loneliness as snow, he was recalling that day's run under the sunset and thinking about finding the right opportunity to make another rush.

There were still a dozen people who remained silent.

They exchanged glances secretly, as if they had finally made some kind of decision.

If someone observes these people carefully, they can see that some of them are extremely nervous.

My breathing became shorter and shorter, the rise and fall of my chest became more and more obvious, and even my teeth were chattering uncontrollably...

"In this case, today's court meeting has achieved good results."

Liu Che waved his hand to tell everyone to be quiet, his expression slightly serious.
"The Crown Prince and Dong Zhongshu care about the country and have made great contributions by presenting the book. From now on, Dong Zhongshu will be appointed as the Minister of Rites and will be in charge of all matters related to the Fengshan Ceremony."

"Ask the Grand Historian Sima Tan to assist them, and have all the officials in the Ministry of Rites work together with the two of them..."

Just when I was talking about this.

"Your Majesty, I, the humble counselor Liang Cheng, risked my life to advise you!"

Suddenly, a man rushed to the center of the hall, fell to his knees and began to cry.
"Your Majesty, the so-called Fengshan is nothing but nonsense from the Taoist priests, and there is no definitive conclusion yet."

"The Fengshan ceremony is very costly, but now our great Han Dynasty is suffering from floods and droughts, and the people are living in misery. Outside, the four barbarians are plotting evil and waiting for an opportunity to act. I think it is inappropriate to hold this ceremony at this time. I dare to ask Your Majesty to think twice!"

at the same time.

A dozen Confucian scholars came to the hall and knelt beside Liang Cheng, bowing their heads and shouting:

"I second the motion and implore Your Majesty to reconsider!"

Yo!
Isn't the right time here?
Liu Ju was instantly cheered up when he saw this.

These dozen people risked their lives to give advice, but I'm afraid it's not enough.

Given Liu Che's temperament, he would most likely take action against them directly to prevent anyone from being unable to advance or retreat.

But if he, the crown prince of the Han Dynasty, were to be included, the situation would be different...

The law does not blame everyone.

Since he was tied up together with these dozen people, the possibility of being deposed as the crown prince and sent away by Emperor Liu Che was undoubtedly reduced a lot.

Doing so would naturally be beneficial to these people and might also save their lives.

After all, they are pleading for the country and the people, and they are truly risking their lives to make suggestions!

For this reason alone, they are much better than those officials who are intimidated by Liu Che's tyranny and are willing to be non-stick pans. Therefore, no matter whether they are pedantic Confucian scholars or not, Liu Ju admires them from the bottom of his heart.

If you can save their lives.

It can also help to recover the losses suffered by Dong Zhongshu, the sixth brother, who stabbed him in the back.

If it is done successfully, it can also avoid wasting the national treasury, which will be of great benefit to both the country and the people.

This is a great way to kill three birds with one stone.

Liu Ju felt that if he hesitated for even a second longer, it would be extremely disrespectful to the blessing of time travel!

　Thanks to [小狐z] for the reward and support.
