Chapter 55: Give me a call now
Chengming Hall.

The air in the hall was filled with oppression. The palace servants standing by lowered their heads, trying to reduce their presence.

At this time, there were two people in the center of the hall, one paralyzed and the other kneeling.

General Wencheng Shao Weng put on his clothes again. The eunuch brought a cushion to him, asking him to sit down, but Shao Weng insisted on lying on the ground!
She kept moaning...

And Liu Ju, who was kneeling, was kneeling very seriously.

Kneeling and "sitting on your knees" seem to be similar on the surface, but they are actually different. The former means kneeling down, while the latter means sitting down.

If you kneel down, there will be a small stool under your buttocks, called the heel support. It is usually invisible because it is covered by the wide hem of your clothes.

Now Liu Ju was kneeling on the ground with nothing under his buttocks, which showed the emperor's dissatisfaction.

"The prince has become more capable."

In the quiet Chengming Palace, Liu Che's voice, which was suppressed with anger, rang out, "You dared to beat up a minister in the Weiyang Palace, and even stripped him clean?"

The words fell.

The young man's mouth, which was covered in blood and had several teeth missing, immediately let out a "ouch" and a "hiss", and the groan of pain suddenly increased.

The contrast came at the right time, and the emperor seemed to be even more angry.

"Oh!"

Liu Che slammed the imperial desk, and the loud noise frightened the surrounding eunuchs. "How dare you! Do you think you can humiliate an official appointed by the court at will?!"

"He is a Han official, not a servant of your Prince's Palace!"

"It's so presumptuous!"

The above words were half angry and half polite, just right for the two people in the hall to hear.

Shao Weng was very moved and kowtowed repeatedly to his superior. However, the other person involved, Liu Ju, stood up straight, raised his neck, and looked dissatisfied.

He had come in with this honor before, and he still has this honor now. The role Liu Ju will play tonight can be described in one word:

Reckless!
The expression is on point, so the words must not lag behind.

"I did not humiliate General Wencheng!" Liu Ju faced the emperor's anger and told the truth: "I heard that he can summon spirits. I was curious about how he did it, so I wanted to ask."

Speaking of which.

After that, he began to use the Spring and Autumn style of writing.

"But I asked General Wencheng about it, but he not only refused to tell me, he also mocked and threatened me. As the crown prince, I really cannot humiliate my subjects."

"But as a minister, he can humiliate me at will?"

Liu Ju seemed to have suffered a great injustice. He glared and snorted coldly, "My grandfather was so angry that he smashed the prince of Wu to death with a chessboard. Today, I stripped him of his clothes."

"It's already a bargain for him!"

Finished talking.

Liu Che, sitting upright on the dragon couch, had a face that turned pale and blue, and his eyes seemed to be spitting fire, but he kept his mouth tightly shut and did not utter a single curse.

He was so angry at this rebellious son that he actually used his grandfather to put pressure on me?

It's the other way around!

Although he was angry, Liu Che was indeed overwhelmed by the word "grandfather". The Han Dynasty ruled the world with filial piety. Facing the great achievements of Emperor Jing, how could Liu Che, as a son, evaluate it?

Facing Liu Ju who pulled out the banner of Emperor Jing and imitated him, it was finally Liu Che's turn to be a son. What could he say! ?
"Humph."

"Sophisticated, eloquent, and audacious!"

Alas, the emperor will not argue with you about right and wrong, and will directly use his status to make the final judgment on you. Just when Liu Che was about to use his higher-ranking official status to crush you to death...

"Father, wait!"

The reckless Liu Ju was very reckless today.

He interrupted the emperor directly, "Father, I have figured out why the clothes were taken off, but you haven't asked me whether I have learned the art of summoning spirits."

Hear the words.

The young man pretending to be a victim suddenly turned around and stared at Liu Ju with panic in his eyes. From the words of the prince, he sensed something bad was going to happen...

Before General Wencheng could do anything bad, the emperor was already furious.

"Liu Ju!"

The emperor was really angry this time. He felt that the prince's actions today showed that he had completely ignored him. Liu Che was angry.

Liu Ju was also angry!
I have been kneeling until now, my legs are numb, I came out on a rainy day to block the liar and expose the scam, for whom? I worked so hard and was scolded, my pretense just now has become more real now!

"His Majesty!"

Liu Ju's eyes widened, and he also replied in a loud voice, "You haven't asked me yet whether I have learned the art of summoning spirits!"

The words have not yet fallen.

All the eunuchs in Chengming Hall had already fallen to their knees. The eunuch leader was in a panic and kept winking at Liu Ju, signaling him to stop talking!
But what needed to be said had been said, and the emperor was furious and had already risen up.

Liu Che was breathing heavily, with a gloomy look on his face. He placed one hand on the imperial desk and pointed at Liu Ju with the other hand, saying slowly, "Then I have a question for you. Have you learned the art of summoning spirits?"

"Think it through and answer!"

"No need!" The emperor said solemnly, but the prince seemed a little careless and stood up directly, "I will tell Your Majesty right away."

"Right here!"

Liu Ju pointed to Chengming Palace and said firmly: "I can summon the spirit right now, so that Your Majesty can have a good look at whether Madam Wang is a human or a ghost!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the emperor's next sentence followed.

"it is good!"

"That's great, I'll take a look today!"

The father and son were obviously at odds, one was dissatisfied, the other was indignant, neither of them would give in, "Confess, confess to me now!"

Liu Che flicked his sleeves. All his years of cultivating his energy were wasted today when he bumped into his own son, a son who always talked back to him.

After hearing this, Liu Ju ignored the panting emperor and walked straight towards the pile of messy "magic tools" at the back of the hall.

'You're yelling at me now?'

"I'll call Mrs. Wang out later, and see who will yell at whom!"

See this.

The eunuch was in tears and wanted to persuade the prince, but the prince was as stubborn as a bull. He wanted to ask His Majesty to calm down, but His Majesty looked at him with a murderous look.

Our family is stuck in the middle, it’s difficult!
When Shao Weng saw this scene, he was secretly happy at first, but when the prince walked towards his props, he immediately panicked.

When the prince picked up the "brocade portrait of a woman" that everyone avoided, the young man could no longer sit still. His face changed drastically, and he shouted while gritting his leaky front teeth:
"Can't touch!"

"This thing is extremely evil. If the prince touches it, he will be doomed!"

Liu Juli ignored him and picked out a few wooden sticks, tinder, bells and other things from the pile of miscellaneous things.

Looking at the four corners of the dry and hard silk, Liu Ju couldn't help but curse inwardly, "Damn it, the holes are all pierced!"

"Eunuch order, set up the venue?"

Turning around, Liu Ju shook the evil object in his hand towards the dazed old eunuch. The eunuch looked at the strange object and the corners of his mouth twitched.

"Your Highness."

"How about you tell me how to summon the spirit, and I'll ask someone to do it for you? The evil spirits are harmful to your health!"

"Right, right, right." Before the prince could say anything, the young man had already stood up in panic and said anxiously, "Summoning spirits will harm your life span. At your age, you definitely can't bear it! Don't do this recklessly!"

Liu Ju still said the same thing: "No need!"

Let’s talk.

At this point, although the emperor was still angry, seeing the prince's firm attitude and the young man's unusual behavior, he couldn't help but feel a little...suspicious!
Liu Che was not a stupid person, but rather he was very sharp.

After noticing something was wrong, he quickly suppressed the anger that was rising in his heart, and calmness once again took over his mind.

"Put up the curtain!"

"Call in the Hun man next to the prince and let him recruit him!"

The emperor made the decision, and the eunuch ordered his men to do it without further hesitation. Seeing this, the young man became even more anxious and said hurriedly, "No, Your Majesty, no!"

Without Liu Che's signal, the eunuch waved his hand quietly, and a eunuch came forward and half-supported and half-carried the young man out.

When Jin Midi entered the palace.

As he happened to cross paths with him, he could hear his heart-wrenching cry: "Misfortune! Misfortune! The Taiyi God will bring down divine punishment, Your Majesty——!"
