My father is Emperor Wu of Han, how can I be different from him?

Chapter 56 The Emperor is also a Human Being

Donghuang Taiyi was very powerful in Chu and had no influence on the Xiongnu boy who grew up in the Hexi Corridor. Jin Midi was not afraid at all.

So when Liu Ju told him about the soul-calling ceremony, he listened calmly.

But after listening.

Jin Midi looked stunned, staring at Liu Ju for a long while, his eyes seemed to be saying: "Your Highness, are you kidding?"

"Isn't this how tribal wizards used to cast spells?"

Liu Ju patted his shoulder and said, "Trust me, it's right!"

While the two of them were whispering, on the other side, the gauze curtain in the center of the hall had been set up, and the palace servants were both nervous and excited.

What’s stressful is that you have to summon spirits and live in the same room with ghosts.

What’s exciting is that the prince can actually summon spirits?
Not long after.

Under the gazes of the crowd, Jin Midi crawled behind the curtain. However, a Hun boy was still a Hun boy after all. He did not have the mysterious demeanor of an immortal or a young master at all.

Walk with wide open arms and legs.

Even if you enter the tent and look at the shadow, you can still feel the wildness.

Because of this, everyone's tension was relieved a lot. They extinguished the other candles in the hall and only left the light inside the veil.

then.

Jingle Bell!
With the ringing of a bell, the atmosphere that had just heated up suddenly dropped to a cold state, and some timid palace maids even held their breathing for a few breaths.

Liu Che, sitting high on the dragon couch, moved forward and stared at the shadow of the Hun.

Soon.

The ringing of the bell became faster and louder, exactly the same as what Shao Weng had said at the beginning. What was even more miraculous was that Jin Midi was also reciting the same spell that Shao Weng had recited!

It’s equally unrecognizable, but Jin Midi’s seems weird!

I kept thinking about it.

He also jumped up and danced, and along with his dance steps there were also rapid ringing of bells and excited spells.

this moment.

The wild Hun boy is more professional than Shao Weng! ?
If there was another Hun present at this moment, he would understand that what Jin Midi was dancing and chanting were what the shamans did every year when the Hun tribe offered sacrifices to the sky.

Jin Midi also sang and recited in foreign language, which made it seem even more bizarre.

but.

His professionalism only lasted for a while, and the little bit of hope that everyone in the hall had just raised was completely destroyed by his next move.

"Hoo! Hoo!"

Jin Midi's shadow seemed to be blowing something, but it was difficult to do anything while it was jumping, so he stopped and blew hard towards his mouth.

With such a commotion, there will be as many dramas as you want.

Liu Che frowned, but remained patient, and the situation did not disappoint him.

After a while.

Wisps of smoke spread through the veil.

There were palace servants in the hall who had seen the summoning of spirits several times, and they knew that the ghost would appear in the next moment. Although they had acted out of turn before, they still couldn't help but feel a tightness in their hearts at this moment.

Jingle Bell!
After a bell rang, a second shadow appeared in the only shadow. It was a female shadow that was completely different from the rough Hun!

Madam Wang!?

Just when everyone's face was tightening and goose bumps appeared all over their body...eh?

Isn’t that right?

The 'Mrs. Wang' who appeared was much smaller than an ordinary person, and she moved very awkwardly. She was completely different from the one that Shao Weng had summoned at the beginning.

They were just wondering if the Huns were not very skilled in Taoism and the ghosts they attracted were unstable.

Jin Midi also discovered the flaw and quickly made adjustments.

His shadow moved to the side and began to adjust towards the light. Hmm, the size was about right. Movement? Let's practice the movement...

Well, it wouldn’t matter if he didn’t move, but once he moved, everyone’s eyes widened, like he was a fool!
Why?

Because several sticks grew out of the shadow of 'Mrs. Wang'!

Those sticks were still shaking back and forth in Jin Midi's hands. When he moved, 'Mrs. Wang' followed.

The palace maids and eunuchs were all stunned.

"choke!"

However, the emperor drew out the Emperor's Sword and threw it towards the curtain with force. The Sword spun and with a "swish" sound, it cut through the gauze, revealing Jin Midi who was busy picking up a wooden stick.

And between his fingers, there was a fire starter emitting wisps of white smoke.

Without the obstruction, the line of sight went straight ahead, and looking at the ghost of 'Mrs. Wang', there was no such thing as a ghost. It was clearly just a shadow cast by the 'female brocade statue'!
Liu Ju walked to the field at the right time.

He pulled off the brocade that was strung on the stick and threw it on the ground. Now everyone could see it more clearly.

The frightening blood-colored patterns, strange spells, and birth date of that person were all on the front of the brocade, while on the back, there was a green silk skirt painted with scarlet lips.

The graceful woman they saw earlier had this makeup!

"Look!"

"Open your eyes wide and look at me!" Liu Ju yelled at the palace maids and eunuchs, but in fact he was accusing someone else. "This is the young master's necromancy technique!"

"What a crap General Wencheng!"

"He is an official of the imperial court, a minister. I will strip him naked, and that is showing mercy! I should smash him to death with a chessboard!"

Done.

Liu Ju turned around and bowed to Liu Che, "Your Majesty, this is my soul-calling technique. How does it compare to yours?"

Yell at me again! ?
Liu Che indeed did not yell at the prince. He just closed his eyes silently, not wanting anyone to see that it was unclear whether it was rage, embarrassment, or murderous intent in his eyes!
The emperor just sat quietly.

But those who are familiar with the emperor know that this is the calm before the storm...

A dignified emperor was actually manipulated by such a cheap trick! ?

In later generations, Shao Weng's necromancy technique actually had another well-known and popular name:

shadow play.

The moment you discover the truth, do you feel like, “Ah? That’s it?”

Yes, that's it.

When people watch a wonderful magic show, they will exclaim in amazement, but when the techniques behind the magic are revealed, they can't help but think that it's nothing special.

But what Shao Weng does is not just a trick. His investment beyond the trick is what is indispensable.

such as.

He always mentions Taiyi Shen in every sentence, raising his own level and creating an image of a master.

He deliberately drew some bloody lines and birth characters to create a horror atmosphere, and at the same time to cover up his tricks.

There are many others like this.

After casting the spell, he deliberately collapsed and hummed from time to time in the carriage, spreading the terrifying things about evil and ghosts, etc.

And most importantly.

It is to accurately grasp the emperor’s psychology!

He would cater to the emperor's wishes for whatever he wanted. He wanted to recruit Mrs. Wang's ghost, so he found a loophole and used this trick without fear that the emperor would not buy it.

This is exactly the same as the pill that the young man offered, which can prolong life, aid sexual intercourse, and produce offspring.

Does that pill really have such effect?
It has the function of aphrodisiac, but for the rest, it's just that the emperor wants what the young master says...

There are only a few types of liars in the world.

If you know some tricks, you can cheat in a village or a county. On this basis, if you know some words, you can cheat in a city or a county.

If he knew a little more about psychology, and was able to judge the situation and understand people's hearts, he could take another step forward and commit fraud at the top levels of the empire!
The emperor is also a human being.

As long as you are brave enough, you can still cheat!
Qin Shi Huangdi, who unified the six kingdoms, was wise enough, wasn't he? But he was fooled by the alchemist Xu Fu, who tricked him into giving away 3,000 virgin boys and girls and going out to sea to search for immortals.

During the Song Dynasty, there was a man named Guo Jing who told Emperor Qinzong of Song that he knew Taoist magic and could use the Liujia method to deploy a large formation of 7,777 people and capture the Jin generals alive.

Song Qinzong believed it!
He believed it! Do you dare to believe it?
Anyway, in the end, the Jin generals were not captured alive, but Emperor Qinzong of Song was captured alive by the enemy...

Back to the present.

Liu Che, who was able to compete with Qin Shihuang, also failed.

Just as Liu Ju had guessed Shao Weng's trick, he, as a bystander, couldn't help but get angry. One can imagine how Liu Che, the person involved, felt.

Extreme embarrassment, shame, shock, and anger transformed into violent murderous intent that almost overflowed!

In this.

The emperor also felt an unspeakable embarrassment because it was his own son who exposed this despicable scam.

If it were someone else who could make Liu Che so embarrassed, even if it was his own fault, Liu Che would kill him without hesitation!

But that's my son...
