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

Chapter 72 Stupid
If Liu Ju wanted to expose the frame-up, he could only start from outside the palace.

It was confirmed that Li Ji was the mastermind, but there was no way to force or torture her to confess. Liu Ju was just looking for trouble. Everyone in the palace was extremely nervous, so why did he take action?
Don't even think about it!
We can only use that stupid woman to find the guy who is making trouble outside the palace, and then, if possible, punish him severely. If not, there are other means to deal with him.

Out of the palace.

There aren't many people the prince needs to worry about...

"Your Highness, we have arranged personnel outside the Prime Minister's Mansion, the Grand Chancellor's Mansion, and the Palace of the Imperial Physician General." Jin Midi said in a deep voice on the balcony of the Jiaguan Hall in the Prince's Palace.

Liu Ju leaned back in the recliner and looked at the buildings in Chang'an City.

"it is good."

Before he went to the Weiyang Palace to alert the enemy, he arranged for Jin Midi to send out spies, including to the Wang Palace and the Li Palace.

Now it seems that we only need to focus on the one with the surname Li.

Liu Juyang's secret agents were still in the initial stage and had not yet become established. He could tell from the secret reports he received every day that -

The Marquis of Luoyin ate a few sheep today, whipped a servant tomorrow, and got drunk the day after tomorrow...

And so on, too rough and broad.

The effect Liu Ju wanted was: How many bites of mutton did Marquis Luoyin eat today, which part did he eat, and did the servants who were whipped complain?

Why was Marquis Luoyin drunk? Was he dissatisfied with the court?

If intelligence can reach this level one day, it will be truly useful!

Of course.

You can't force it, take your time. Undercover, subversion, and assassination are not allowed now, but keeping an eye on Chang'an City is still possible...

The rules in the Han Dynasty Palace were not as harsh and strict as those in later dynasties. This was reflected in many aspects, for example, the officials and attendants around the emperor were allowed to walk around in the palace.

The queen has her own officials and can summon her subjects.

as well as.

The eunuchs in the palace are not necessarily castrated!

When talking about eunuchs, the first impression is definitely that they have no reproductive organs, but that was after the Eastern Han Dynasty. Nowadays, there are still normal male eunuchs in the Weiyang Palace.

This can also be considered as a preventive measure.

If someone is described as a father-in-law or a eunuch in the following text, he must have been castrated, but such iconic words are not mentioned, and he is simply called "eunuch".

But it doesn't necessarily mean he was castrated...

cough cough.

Back to the topic, the reason I mentioned the above content is to discuss a phenomenon - unless there are special circumstances, communication inside and outside the Weiyang Palace is very easy!
How easy is it?

By the time Liu Ju returned to the palace and climbed up the tower, the female official beside Li Ji had already appeared in the Prime Minister's Mansion!

The Prime Minister's Mansion is between Weiyang and Changle.

The Prince's Palace is located in the Changle Palace complex. If one really calculates the walking distance, it would indeed take Liu Ju longer to return to the palace.

however.

Is this simply a matter of comparing distance and time?
"madness!"

In the side hall of the Prime Minister's Mansion, Li Cai, who had just come out of court, once again said these two words, but this time he did not say them to his cousin, but to a woman.

"The Crown Prince just went to Changning Palace to make trouble, and you came to me. Isn't it telling others that it was me who was having an affair with Li Ji?"

Li Cai looked at the servant girl beside Li Ji with a dark face, "Let's take a step back. The situation is urgent. Can't we send the message to someone less conspicuous?"

Beating a dog depends on whether the owner is good or not.

Being scolded for no reason, the female official looked unhappy, and she also had something to say: "How can we leave such an important matter to others? I was careful when I came here, and I didn't attract anyone's attention."

"Furthermore..."

Speaking of which.

The female official had a look of displeasure that her kindness was taken for granted. "The prince has guessed who was behind this, and my wife is also worried that he might do something to the prime minister."

"That's why I was ordered to come here to warn you. I didn't expect..." She swallowed the rest of the words, but her drooping mouth corners still revealed her true thoughts.

The prime minister did not take the servant's expression seriously and completely ignored her, instead thinking anxiously about the current situation.

From Li Ji's perspective, after the prince determined who was behind the frame-up, she came to warn him. Her starting point was right, but her method was wrong...

Li Cai thought to himself:

"The prince may have stumbled upon me by mistake, so he probably won't be able to track me down. But if Your Majesty were to track me down later..."

The general could detect the embroidered robe messenger, and the prime minister could do the same.

Think about this.

Li Cai's face became even darker, almost as black as the bottom of a pot. He waved his sleeves and ordered people to send the female official out through the back door.

to be frank.

He already regretted listening to Li Ji's plan. This woman was too careless!
Although he was angry, Li Cai was not panicked because: "Fortunately, I have a trick up my sleeve..."

As for what backup plan the prime minister has, we'll keep it a secret for now.

Let’s talk.

The conspiracy has been completed, and the fermentation has been completed, after last night's outbreak and the continuation of the morning court session.

The rumor about the Crown Prince instigating Your Majesty... No, it can no longer be called a rumor now.

It’s a conclusion!
Due to your majesty's majesty and temper, no one dares to comment on right and wrong, but the situation is slightly worse for the Crown Prince, as there are many people who dare to point fingers at him.

At least the old nobles are not in vain.

Because they suffered losses on the "white paper money", and in addition to the coinage, salt and iron affairs, the nobles were originally vested interests, so they had a lot of resentment towards the Crown Prince's Palace!

It was at this time when the situation was extremely tense.

The prince, who was splashed with dirty water, took action.

It is never too late for a gentleman to take revenge. That is a gentleman. Liu Ju is the crown prince. For him to take revenge, it is better to do it today than to wait for another day. He would never wait overnight!

Just today.

dusk.

The gate of the Prime Minister's Mansion was wide open, and Li Cai, surrounded by servants, walked towards the gate in a carriage.

The carriage was parked on Zhangtai Street.

Passersby automatically avoided the Prime Minister's Mansion, so in the past, when the Prime Minister got in the car, no one would approach except the Prime Minister's servants. But today, a group of people approached.

"what?"

"Isn't this the Prime Minister?"

The prince led the way, and Su Sheren led the guards behind. After a completely nonsense opening remark, Liu Ju said another nonsense, "Prime Minister, can you stay for a while?"

Hear the words.

Li Cai stopped getting into the carriage and looked at the person who came with raised eyebrows.

The prince led his men across Zhangtai Street and headed straight for the prime minister's residence. It was obvious that he was looking for him. Even if he didn't say anything, Li Cai had to stay.

"I have met His Highness."

"Haha, no need to be so polite." Liu Ju's first sentence seemed very kind, but the next sentence: "Before the Prime Minister goes to work, can you talk to me about... slander!?"

As soon as the words fell, Li Cai's face changed instantly!
Yes.

Liu Ju came to the door today just to confront the issue directly.

He had said before that he did not want the news of the discord between the Crown Prince and the Three Dukes to be spread, and that he did so in order to maintain his superficial reputation.

But now, it is no longer a matter of reputation, but a matter of self-deception as the other party fired at you first and you are still hiding it!

I can’t bear it, so I just don’t bear it!
In front of the palace gate, Li Cai squinted his eyes and gave a similar reaction to Li Ji, "What do you mean, Your Highness?"
