I, the prince, only want to be deposed.

Chapter 88 Don’t be ungrateful!

So he went outside with this memorial.

Zhao Yu was still pondering the deeper meaning of this matter...

He has been under a lot of pressure in recent days.

He was ordered to lead people to capture the prince.

Soon after the capture, King of Qi Liu Hong came to visit with the emperor's order. Later, the emperor ordered Su Wen to come and give a stern warning, which directly tied Liu Ju's life and the life of his entire family as one of the Nine Ministers to a deep bond.

Later, the female doctor Yi Shuo also came to visit with the emperor's order...

You have to know that without the emperor's order, he would never dare to let Liu Hong, Yi Shuo, or even Wei Qing and Wei Zifu come to visit in person.

This is definitely not a joke.

This cruel official, who was one of the Nine Ministers and died of old age, naturally knew what was important and would not be careless even in the slightest about this matter.

Even Liang Cheng and others who were sent in earlier, he referred to the previous situation of Guo Chang and Ji Ren, and specifically instructed his subordinates:

"This matter is related to the Crown Prince. You must not presume on the Emperor's will. You must torture him, but only in a very horrible way. The more horrible the better. But don't beat him to the point of disability or death for the time being. Wait for the Emperor's order..."

So, how should we deal with this matter today?

Zhao Yu had clearly seen that Liu Che did not want Liu Ju's life at all, and now Su Wen had done something like this...

As his mind raced, Zhao Yu quickly came up with his own plan and immediately summoned his trusted aides:

"This is the memorial submitted by the Crown Prince to His Majesty. You must deliver it to the palace immediately."

"But don't walk too fast. If you see someone you know on the way, say hello and chat with him. Make sure you let him know that you are delivering the memorial from the Crown Prince to His Majesty. Do you understand?"

This is not wrong...

It is also very likely to win the heart of His Majesty!

……

Bowang Garden.

"Oh! Let's go, let's all go. Everything will be peaceful if we all leave..."

Just after giving them travel money and sending away a few servants who had asked to resign, the Prince's Secretary Ji Ping began to shake his head and sigh with a frown on his old face.

These days, most of the servants in Bowang Garden have left.

If it weren't for those servants who couldn't leave, food would have become a problem for everyone in the mansion.

"Sigh, sigh, sigh! Apart from sighing and groaning every day and saying these useless and depressing words, what else can you do?"

Guo Zhen, the prince's horseman, who was sitting on the stone steps outside the door with his knees hugged in a daze, suddenly became annoyed, turned his head and started cursing.

Ji Ping instantly became angry upon hearing this, and immediately said sarcastically:
"Hey? I don't have the ability, but you, Guo Xianma, have plenty of it. If you have the ability, you can grab a knife and rob the imperial prison! Don't worry about the future. If you die, I will collect your body and raise your wife. Go ahead, go now, or I will look down on you!"

"Old man, do you think I dare not?"

"I will just assume you don't dare!"

"I'm going right now!"

"Go! Go! Go!"

"I really am going!"

"I'll give you some wine right now!"

"Okay, today we'll get drunk together!"

"Wait a minute, how are you going to go if you're drunk?"

"Then let's go tomorrow!"

"..."

Several princes who were on duty at Bowang Garden not far away looked at each other in bewilderment when they heard this, but smiled bitterly without saying anything.

Ever since the prince was arrested and taken to prison.

Now, Guo Zhen and Ji Ping are the people in charge of Bowang Garden. However, the moment Liu Ju was taken away, these two people had completely lost their backbone, and all they did all day long was engage in meaningless quarrels.

But they can also understand Guo Zhen and Ji Ping.

In the current situation, they are just a leaf in the ocean, what can they do?

The sky of Bowang Garden has collapsed...

I'm afraid the day when the ground cracks is just around the corner, right?

……

Zhu Muyuan. Qi Wangxiang Bu Shi now walks with a breeze, and even hums a few folk songs from his hometown when no one is around.

Ever since Liu Ju was arrested and imprisoned.

The number of visiting guests suddenly increased several times compared to before.

Although Liu Hong still refused to meet with anyone, Bu Shi took this opportunity to get to know many powerful officials and ministers.

Moreover, these people who were originally high and mighty began to nod and bow when they saw him, and there was a hint of flattery in their every move.

This naturally made Bu Shi more useful.

"..."

Although Liu Hong was still young, he saw all of Bu Shi's changes.

In fact, Liu Hong had great respect for this prime minister.

After all, during the years he was the King of Qi, Bu Shi had assisted him with great devotion in everything from state affairs to his daily life, and had never acted in an overstepping way by interfering in the affairs of state because of his young age. He was more like a respected elder.

Even in Liu Hong's eyes, apart from Liu Ju, Bu Shi might be closer to him than his father Emperor Liu Che...

Liu Hong thought that Bu Shi's current changes were inappropriate:
"Prime Minister, from now on you should not meet those who bring gifts. Just send the servants of the church away at will."

"Your Highness, this... I'm afraid it's not a good idea. Your Highness has a weak foundation, and these people may become your foundation in the future. It's really not a good idea to offend them too much."

Bu Shi advised in confusion.

How could he know that inside Liu Hong's little head, were hidden the secrets of the two most powerful people in the entire Han Dynasty, and no one's secrets could be revealed.

"Anyway, Xiangguo, don't see them again."

Liu Hong didn't know how to explain it, so he could only bar his teeth and show a childish and fierce look.
"If the Prime Minister won't listen, then I will have no choice but to write to my father and ask for his permission to let the Prime Minister retire and return home. I hope the Prime Minister will not be ungrateful!"

"?"

Bu Shi was stunned when he heard this. A chill instantly ran up his back and every hair on his body stood up.

This time the situation was no different from the last warning of "silencing" the witnesses.

But he could still clearly feel that Liu Hong was not joking this time.

While he was indulging in the flattery and adulation of those people, Liu Hong had quietly undergone some kind of indescribable transformation. He was no longer just the simple and naive King of Qi!

……

Jiaofang Hall.

"Your Highness, I beg you to get up and eat some porridge. If you continue to endure this, your body will be damaged..."

A group of maids knelt in front of the couch and cried and begged.

At this moment, Wei Zifu, whose hair was disheveled and her face was dirty, just stared at the dome of the hall, as if her soul was floating there.

……

Shangguanli.

Although Wei Qing was still moving as usual, he had lost weight visibly.

Even the cheeks on both sides show signs of being sunken, and coupled with the two dark eye sockets, it gives people a sense of overindulgence.

But the most striking thing is his hair.

Although he had already had a few strands of white hair on his head before, it was not noticeable unless you looked closely. But now, he has signs of graying hair.

……

at the same time.

The edict that Liu Che had been preparing for a long time was finally announced after much anticipation.

The moment this edict appeared, it shocked everyone, shattered the rumors all over the world, penetrated the ambitions of all speculators, and bridged the worries of all authorities:

[In ancient times, there was a meeting at Tushan, and now there is a meeting from southern Xinjiang. ]

[I have heard that Emperor Yu's achievements were to pacify the Nine Provinces and cast the Nine Cauldrons. Now the Han Dynasty has taken over the world, which has exceeded the Nine Provinces, and is even greater than that.]

【However, I dare not take credit for the achievements of the people of the world. 】

【Therefore, I pardon the world, cleanse it and make a fresh start, and join all the people in this great event.】

【I praise filial piety and hard work in farming, and I pity the elderly, blind, orphans, widows, widowers, and those who are alone and lack food and clothing, and I feel very compassionate towards them.】

【Give five pieces of silk to the three elders of the county and the filial ones; three pieces of silk to the three elders of the township, the younger ones, and the hardworking farmers; two pieces of silk and three catties of cotton to the people over 90 years old, widows, orphans, and the singles; three dan of rice to the people over 80 years old. If there is any injustice or dereliction of duty, the messenger will report it. The county and township will be given immediately, and no more will be collected! 】
