I, the prince, only want to be deposed.

Chapter 93: Assisting the Crown Prince!

In addition, Liu Che also discovered another brilliant point from Liu Zhao's words:
"Imperial sister, there is one thing I don't understand. You have been remarried to Wei Qing for more than two years. Until today, Wei Qing still needs permission to enter your room, and he still has to force you during sex?"

Liu Zhao had been married twice before marrying Wei Qing.

Her first husband was Cao Shou, Marquis of Pingyang. Liu Zhao's title of Princess Pingyang came from this. They had a son named Cao Xiang.

Later, Cao Shou died young due to illness, and Liu Zhao married her second husband, Xiahou Po, Marquis of Ruyin.

As a result, more than two years ago, Xiahou Po's adultery with his biological father's concubine was exposed, and he eventually "committed suicide out of fear of punishment". His fiefdom was also revoked, and Liu Zhao became a widow again. His previous son with Cao Shou, Cao Xiang, also died of illness shortly afterwards.

Liu Zhao was almost left alone. Liu Che felt sorry for his sister and arranged for her to marry Wei Qing.

This can be considered as a further strengthening of the relationship.

Liu Che and Wei Zifu.

Wei Qing and Liu Zhao.

And Liu Zhao's son Cao Xiang, who died of illness, was the husband of Princess Wei Liu Shu, Liu Ju's sister.

Cao Xiang and Liu Shu also have a son named Cao Zong, who is only 4 years old now.

If Liu Ju had not exposed the fraudulent alchemist Luan Da a few months ago, Liu Shu would probably have remarried Luan Da and taken her son with her, and her life would have been basically ruined.

Such complicated marriage and kinship relationships would be absolutely difficult to understand in later generations, and it also involved the chaos of inbreeding.

But it was extremely normal in that era, especially between the royal family and clan relatives. Marriage was often linked to political purposes, and there was no authoritative judgment on the issue of inbreeding. As long as it did not involve ethics, it would not be a problem after a generation.

"Your Majesty should know that Wei Qing was once just my riding slave. Not to mention whether I would be ridiculed if I obeyed him, I myself cannot get over it."

Liu Zhao cried as a matter of course.

Liu Che was stunned again when he heard this:
"Could it be that what your Royal Sister meant is... that you have been married to Wei Qing for two years and yet you have never let him get close to you?"

Liu Zhao lowered his head and nodded slightly, as if to agree with the matter.

"..."

Liu Che was speechless and remained silent for a moment before he continued,

"If that's the case, I have to say something fair. I think Wei Qing did nothing wrong. The fault lies entirely with my sister."

"The Book of Changes says: There were heaven and earth, then there were myriad things; there were myriad things, then there were men and women; there were men and women, then there were husband and wife; there were husband and wife, then there were father and son; there were father and son, then there were ruler and minister; there were ruler and minister, then there were superiors and subordinates."

"Xunzi said: The way of husband and wife must be correct, which is the foundation of the relationship between ruler and subject, father and son."

"Confucius also said: In governing, husband and wife should be distinguished, father and son should be close, and ruler and minister should be strict. If these three are correct, then the people will follow them."

"Since my sister has married Wei Qing, it is her duty to follow her husband's lead."

"But my sister is so willful and still treats Wei Qing like a slave. It's Wei Qing who has been able to endure for two years without making a move. My sister doesn't think Wei Qing is afraid of me... If it were me, I would have been thrown into the torture chamber and never used again. Even if my mother were still alive, I would never compromise."

"Now the Imperial Sister has come to complain to me about this matter. I wonder what the Imperial Sister intends to do?"

"Do you want me to overthrow my throne and shake the foundation of the Han Dynasty?"

These words were very serious. Liu Zhao was immediately panicked when he heard them. He dared not continue crying and shouting. He was so scared that he quickly leaned forward and confessed:

"Your Majesty, please forgive me. How dare I? I am just..."

"Okay, go back and do your duty as a wife."

Liu Che sighed helplessly and waved his hand.
"If you can't calm down, read more books to cultivate your character, and you will understand more truths."

"This matter ends here. Wei Qing is my great general, and he is no longer your riding slave. My sister should still respect her husband and never let me see Wei Qing's letter requesting a divorce. Otherwise... my sister will be the only loser."

"Sister Royal, do you understand?"

"..."

"I understand. I'll take my leave."

Liu Zhao's face turned pale at this moment. He dared not say another word. He quickly bent down, bowed again, and fled out of the greenhouse hall.

……

Soon after.

Yishuo moved into Bowangyuan with lots of bags, just like last time.

This time she kept her promise and never mentioned the matter of taking Liu Ju as her teacher, nor did she pester Liu Ju to ask for advice on medical skills for the time being.

On the contrary, Liu Ju always wanted to talk to Yi Shuo and ask how her hemorrhoids had been treated and whether they had improved. This was also the doctor's concern for the patient. After seeing the patient, he had to come back for a follow-up visit, right? However, this topic was somewhat awkward, and he really couldn't bring himself to speak, so it was better to observe secretly.

A few more days passed like this.

Liu Ju has completely adjusted his mindset and is ready to take a few servants to stroll the streets when he has nothing to do, to see if he can run into some like-minded young girls and invite them to start learning English together.

Or you could go to some entertainment venues frequented by rich kids, drink some wine, fight cocks, fight dogs, etc. which would also be a wonderful thing.

Oh, and you can go hunting!
Liu Che liked hunting when he was young.

This kind of thing cannot be done in the future when the lives of wild animals are more precious than those of humans. If you are not careful, you will get the silver bracelet package. Now that I have the chance, I must give it a try.

By the way, you can also ask someone to go to the southwest to catch a few giant pandas and bring them back to raise!

You can take your national treasure for a walk on a leash when you have nothing to do. After you die, you can use it to brag to other ghosts.

The life of the prince.

It's so ordinary and boring...

As a result, before these ideas could be implemented, an imperial edict disrupted his plans.

Liu Che is causing trouble for Wang Zhi again!

This time, Emperor Liu Che actually issued an edict stating that the crown prince had reached the age required and that he was allowed to assist in government affairs from now on!
What is assisting the government?

Different from the "hearing government affairs" often heard in later generations, hearing government affairs means interfering in the government affairs of the court.

The purpose of being a regent is to assist the emperor in handling state affairs. To put it simply, it means being a senior secretary to Liu Che, and sitting on a small stool beside him to listen during court meetings and discussions.

If Liu Che asked for his opinion, he could express his thoughts.

If Liu Che didn't ask, he would be just a human-shaped flower pot. Anyway, the decision-making power still lies with Liu Che, and what he says may not be adopted.

"What does this mean?"

When Liu Ju saw this edict, his mind began to become confused again.

He felt that he had performed quite well when he came out of the imperial prison and went to see Emperor Liu Che a few days ago. At least he seemed to have surrendered. As the "winner", Liu Che should not continue to torment him.

And naturally, he would not easily provoke Liu Che again.

As a result, the tree is now in the mood to be still, but the wind refuses to stop and suddenly blows hard?
"Congratulations, Your Highness. Congratulations, Your Highness, Your Highness is now able to assist in the administration of the country. It seems that His Majesty has forgotten what happened before!"

Guo Zhen had no idea what was going on, and his back teeth were showing from laughing so hard.

"..."

However, Liu Ju could not be happy at this moment, and always felt that there was something wrong with this matter.

But it doesn't matter...

Anyway, he has decided to lie down and let things go. Since Liu Che insists on letting him assist in the administration, he will just go to the court and be a human-shaped flower pot that does not bother with the world.

After the court session, it’s time to go out on the streets and walk the pandas. It doesn’t matter.

Thinking about this, Liu Ju simply relaxed and continued to plan what fun and exciting things he could try in this era...

This went on until the next day when the imperial edict was received.

"Your Highness, Gongsun Jingsheng came to congratulate Your Highness on his assistance in governing the country, and brought a lot of gifts."

"Gongsun Jingsheng?"

Liu Ju recalled for a moment before he remembered who this person was.

He is his other cousin!
He was Wei Zifu's eldest sister, Wei Junru, who was the son born to his eldest aunt.

This man had serious problems. He was one of the representatives of the Wei family's relatives who became arrogant because of their favor. Not only did he dare to commit adultery with the princess, he also dared to embezzle military funds.

Even the beginning of the witchcraft disaster was caused by this person!

If he and his father Gongsun He hadn't caused trouble, Jiang Chong and his people might not have found an excuse to attack him so quickly!
