I, the prince, only want to be deposed.

Chapter 46: Your Majesty
On the dragon bed.

Liu Che's expression quickly turned cold.

Openly interrupting him at the court meeting, and even saying such disobedient words in public, preventing him from holding the Fengshan ceremony...

Even though the advice from Liang Cheng and others was much more subtle than Liu Ju's before, and could even be said to be gentle in comparison, this was something Liu Che could not accept.

However, unlike in front of his son Liu Ju, Liu Che would never overturn the table or smash the benches during court meetings, let alone shout loudly.

Such behavior is not only impolite, but also undermines his dignity.

Therefore, Liu Che just sneered, glanced at Liang Cheng and others, and spoke in a calm voice without any emotion:
"During the court meeting in Xuanshi, he lost his manners and cried bitterly, challenging the emperor's authority?"

"You don't have the guts. Tell me, who instructed you to do this? Who are your accomplices?"

"..."

General Wei Qing and Prime Minister Zhao Zhou both lowered their heads slightly upon hearing this, with silence in their hearts.

These people are gone...

This is a typical case of avoiding the main issue.

His Majesty did not bother with Liang Cheng and others about whether the Fengshan Ceremony should be held, but directly put another more serious accusation on them.

The reason why he said things like "being instructed by someone" and "accomplices" etc.

Your Majesty did not want to order these people to be beaten and killed on the spot, so as to avoid being branded as autocratic and cruel and killing ministers who gave advice.

As long as the premise of "being instructed by someone" and "being in the same party" was established, the Chief Justice could legitimately invite these people to the imperial prison for interrogation.

As for whether he was playing "hide and seek" or "committed suicide by being stabbed several times in the back" during the interrogation, it has nothing to do with Your Majesty.

If there was any fault, it was the fault of the Chief Justice and those cruel officials.

"Your Majesty, please be aware that we are all loyal to you. We have never been instructed by anyone, and we have never formed a clique with anyone!"

"Your Majesty, I am concerned about the country and the people, so I am asking for your permission..."

"His Majesty……"

Liang Cheng and others were already nervous, and naturally became even more confused when they heard these words. They immediately fell into the language trap set by Liu Che and bowed their heads to prove their innocence.

"I am willing to believe you."

Liu Che still had no expression on his face, and waved his hand, "But whether you were instructed by someone, whether you formed a clique for personal gain, I will not listen to your family's words, the court will prove your innocence, Zhao Yu."

"promise."

Zhao Yu, the chief judge of the court, understood what he meant and immediately stepped forward to salute. "I request the assistance of the military officer to bring Liang Cheng and others back to the court for questioning."

"allow."

Liu Che turned his back and nodded slightly.

The Qimen warriors with swords in the hall immediately stepped forward and approached Liang Cheng and others.

"Your Majesty, I have absolutely no other intentions!"

"Your Majesty, I am telling the truth. I have no accomplices..."

"His Majesty……"

Liang Cheng and others' faces changed drastically at this moment. Even if they did not understand Liu Che's method of avoiding the important issues, they knew what kind of reception they would receive when they went to the Imperial Prison.

"This……"

While I was just weighing the pros and cons in my mind, the situation had already developed to this point.

Liu Ju secretly sighed in his heart that he was worthy of being the greatest emperor of all time. He hurriedly stepped forward to the center of the hall, bowed and said loudly:
"Father, there is no need for the court to re-examine this matter. I am their accomplice."

"?!"

Hearing this voice, Liu Che's beard trembled reflexively.

Why is there such a rebellious son everywhere? !
You really have to be on guard!
This rebellious son presented the etiquette and regulations of the Fengshan Ceremony to Dong Zhongshu today, and did not say a single extra word during the entire court meeting.

I thought he realized his mistake and repented. After I conferred the title on Dong Zhongshu, I was just thinking about what reward to give him, but he jumped out again at this time!
I was really upset for nothing just now!
and many more……

Could it be that this rebellious son is trying to use the tactic of first suppressing and then praising me again?
Enough is enough! Although this method is advanced and very pleasing to me, it is a method of controlling people!
I use it to control others, but you use it to control me. How brave are you to dare to use it on me again and again?!

"!!!"

All the civil and military officials in the court looked at each other in bewilderment upon seeing this, their hearts aching with fear.

This prince is not simple!

He had dismissed so many of his retainers before, but now he still has so many of his accomplices, and they are willing to risk their lives to give him advice. How much power did he have hidden before?
However, if we admit to forming a faction at this time, will it really not lead to any serious consequences?

Sitting there is the Prince of Qi, who was recently summoned back to Chang'an by His Majesty. Can't you see what this means?

"???"

Wei Qing was instantly pulled out of his previous surprise, and his eyes almost popped out of his head in shock.

My nephew ancestor!
Before this, you could be considered walking on the edge of the abyss, but now you are saying this and it is like jumping off a cliff without protection!
What on earth are you thinking? Are you sure you want to wade into this muddy water?
As for Su Wen, Chang Rong and other attendants and Qimen warriors, they all had their own thoughts and were secretly ready to kneel down...

We know that wherever Liu Ju is, there will be no good things. They are very experienced!

"Father, I think what these people said just now is not unreasonable. The Han Dynasty is facing internal and external troubles right now. It is really not the right time to hold the Fengshan Ceremony."

Facing everyone's gaze, Liu Ju did not look away and continued,
"If we choose the wrong time, we will deceive both the heavens and the earth. I am afraid that we will not be able to meet the expectations of our father. It is better not to hold such a Fengshan ceremony."

"Therefore, I, your son, dare to ask you to think twice before you act!"

As he spoke, Liu Ju stood in front of Liang Cheng and others, assuming an attitude and position as if he was risking his life to give advice to the leader.

This time, his words were much more reserved than last time, especially those heart-piercing words were omitted.

After all, there are so many people watching in the court, he just wants to be deposed, not die.

"Now is not the right time, when is it?"

Liu Che turned around and shot a stern look at Liu Ju.

On this occasion, he did not get angry with Liu Ju as he had done before.

Of course, it is also possible that drug resistance has already developed, and if you listen again at a lower dose, the efficacy of the drug may be reduced.

"It's hard for me to say, but I think it's definitely not now."

Liu Ju lowered his head slightly to avoid Liu Che's gaze, but he still spoke in a dignified manner.

Liu Che sneered: "According to what you said, why don't you just decide when I will hold the Fengshan ceremony?"

"..."

All the civil and military officials in the court couldn't help but feel their hearts skip a beat.

This is a rather serious question...

Then Liu Ju trembled and fell to his knees on the ground with a thud.

It seems that the prince has a clear idea in his mind. Who in the world dares to be the emperor's boss?

Someone is thinking.

But Liu Ju bowed his head and thanked him loudly:
"Your son obeys your command. Your son is willing to sign a military order!"

"I will definitely live up to my father's high expectations, and together with the Imperial Counselor Liang Cheng and others, I will select the most appropriate time for my father to perform the Fengshan ceremony, and I promise not to deceive the heavens or the earth!"

"If I cannot satisfy your Majesty, please depose me from the position of Crown Prince!"

"!!!"

"???"

At this moment, Liu Che was completely confused and his head was buzzing.

“%……*&￥%#￥%#￥!!!”

I, Wei Zifu, was speaking sarcastically when I asked you that question just now!

Do you know what sarcasm is?

You rebellious son, did you really not hear me or were you just pretending that you didn't hear me? You actually kowtowed to me to express your gratitude?!
Still issuing a military order?
God, your military order from Wei Zifu!!!
