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

Chapter 74 Backer
Just as many people who are planning big things will find an excuse, Li Shimin said before the Xuanwu Gate Incident: "Do what Zhou Gong did to Guan and Cai."

Before Cao Pi usurped the throne, he would say: "Follow the example of Yi and Huo."

And what Liu Ju was going to do today, he also had the sages to rely on, "Emperor Jing was furious and killed the crown prince of Wu!"

Emperor Jing was angry, and Liu Ju was angry too!
The joke about the young man being killed by a chessboard should come true today, and it should be Li Cai!

It may seem a long story to talk about all of the above, but it only takes a blink of an eye to think about it in one's mind, and it was only a few breaths before Liu Ju boarded the carriage.

At this moment.

Liu Ju had already started to gather his energy and practice martial arts, and a corner of the chessboard hidden in the wide robe behind him was revealed.

This moment.

The first person to notice the abnormality was the one standing to the side. When Ji An saw the chessboard, his mind froze for a moment, and then his pupils suddenly contracted.

Who doesn’t know about Emperor Jing’s past?

Ji An, who always defied the heavens and the earth, was so frightened that his scalp went numb. How dare the prince! ?
I was just being offensive, but the prince wanted to kill me!
The Right Internal Affairs Secretary wanted to speak up to remind them, but it was too late. Also, before he could speak, someone nearby had already screamed, "Stop it!"

"His Majesty's Oral Order~"

The eunuch's order always came in a timely manner. Although this order did not specifically ask the prince to put down the chessboard, it had the same effect.

When everyone heard the sound, they wanted to turn their heads to the side, but were about to move.

Liu Ju had already taken a deep breath, and roared in his heart: "No matter who comes, I can't stop!"

next moment.

The chessboard behind the prince was raised high, and in front of the horrified gaze of the eunuch who was running towards him, he suddenly smashed it towards the prime minister's head!
"boom!"

After a dull thud, Li Cai's forehead was hit hard from above, and he staggered and fell to the ground...

"stop--!"

The eunuch's order followed closely with two sharp and high-pitched words, and he ran forward in two steps, interrupting Liu Ju's attempt to attack again.

Unfortunately, when the old eunuch arrived, the prime minister had already fallen to the ground, blood oozing out of his crown. "This, this, this... someone is going to die!"

"Quick, find a medical officer!"

His roar woke up the people around him. The prime minister's subordinates no longer stared blankly, and hurriedly supported him or shouted.

The officials who had stopped nearby no longer watched the show, but scattered like birds and beasts.

The scene suddenly became chaotic.

Su Wu had not received any previous notification from the prince, and now he was horrified, but his fear did not stop him from acting quickly.

He quickly led the prince's guards forward and rescued Liu Ju from the carriage.

"It's over, it's over!"

Young Eunuch Wei came up to the prince and said in horror, "Your Highness, let's go to the palace and find the queen. If all else fails, we can hide at the general's place!"

"What are you hiding for?"

Liu Ju looked at the chaotic crowd in front of him. He had no awareness of being a murderer at all. Instead, he held the hilt of the sword at his waist and did not move at all.

He went neither to the queen nor to the general.

Wei Qing taught the prince to attack Huanglong directly, but he probably didn't expect that he would do it this way. If he knew, he would definitely advise him against it.

But if Huo Qubing knew...

I guess I’ll get a bigger chessboard for the prince!
Now, Liu Ju didn't need to look for anyone. He used the chessboard instead of the sword to find a backer for himself, the biggest backer -

His father’s father, Emperor Jing!
At this time, there was no need for the eunuch to remind him. The old eunuch quickly came to Liu Ju and said in shock: "How can your highness be so impulsive? That's the prime minister!"

"calm down."

Liu Ju spoke in a familiar tone, "Isn't there an oral order from the emperor? What is that?"

"I……"

The eunuch was speechless for a moment. Why did this scene seem so familiar?

"Ah!" He stamped his feet and lamented, "Now that things have turned out like this, what's the point of passing on an oral order from our family?"

Oral instructions are outdated...

……

Half an hour ago.

Weiyang Palace, Chengming Hall. The emperor looked at the eunuch with indifference and heard him report in a low voice: "This morning, the crown prince went to Changning Hall and said that there were rumors outside the palace that Li Ji had framed him."

"I checked afterwards and found that not long after the Crown Prince left, the female official in Li Ji's palace left the East Palace..."

Liu Che knocked on the handrail, "Eastern Palace Gate, are we going to the Prime Minister's Residence?"

Hear the words.

The eunuch bent his back a little and said respectfully, "Yes."

Li Ji was indeed too careless, and so were the female officials around her. Even the eunuchs knew her whereabouts clearly, even without the need for embroidered robe messengers.

Just based on the above few sentences.

Liu Che guessed the cause of the recent turmoil to be almost correct.

"The concubines in my palace colluded with my prime minister to frame my crown prince? Haha, good, very good."

"They all thought I was dead!?"

Faced with the sudden outburst of His Majesty's captivating aura, the eunuch fell to his knees without even raising his head, and prostrated himself on the ground.

Whenever Your Majesty mentions the word "death", it means someone is going to die.

Eunuch Ling didn't want to die yet, so he knelt quickly, not wanting to be tainted by any anger.

The hall was quiet for a while.

After the emperor's rapid breathing calmed down, the eunuch heard the calm command from his superiors.

"Tell Li Ji to take care of her pregnancy and tell the people in Changning Palace not to run around... Once the heir is born, kill the female official next to Li Ji immediately!"

"Yes."

The eunuch ordered him to respond respectfully.

"As for the prime minister..." When mentioning this person, Liu Che paused for a moment.

When the rumor first appeared, that is, a few days ago, the emperor had already begun investigating, but he did not find any definite evidence to prove which family or individual was responsible.

Here.

The suspense left in the previous article and the reason why Li Cai was so fearless can now be revealed. The fact is that Li Cai did not actually arrange anyone to spread rumors!

Just at a party.

He casually mentioned that white paper and white paper money had a close connection with the prince, and intentionally or unintentionally gave a look to a minor official who wanted to curry favor with him.

then.

The other party figured it out on his own!
From beginning to end, Li Cai never gave a clear order, only a look, and the rest was all the minor official's self-conjecture.

When he passed it on, he was very evasive and only mentioned it briefly. Others automatically associated it with white paper and white paper money.

no way.

These two things are so closely related!
Just like that, one person spread the news to ten people, ten people spread the news to a hundred people, and in the end, the news became distorted, and the rumors became more and more outrageous. No one knew who started it first...

If we can't find the source, we can't be sure whether it's the Li family or the Wang family that's causing trouble, whether it's the Three Dukes who are being presumptuous or the Nine Ministers who are being daring, or whether it's the powerful and wealthy who are deliberately provoking disputes in an attempt to fish in troubled waters.

The emperor's suspicion will only be more serious than what Wei Qing and Huo Qubing originally analyzed!
until today.

It was from Li Ji that the emperor was sure...

"How dare you, Prime Minister!"

An angry shout was heard in Chengming Palace, and the eunuchs crawled even lower.

There was murderous intent rising in Liu Che's eyes, but in a moment, it was gradually suppressed. He seemed to be restraining himself, but also like he was issuing an ultimatum.

"It is not easy for me to support a prime minister. Today, I will let you escape a disaster and give you some dignity."

'But this is the first and last time!'

If the prime minister's actions made Liu Che feel that it would be worthwhile to support a new one, he would no longer care about his dignity or evidence.

No matter what crime you commit, I will get rid of you!
nowadays.

The emperor still has a little tolerance for Li Cai.

Liu Che was thinking about how to strike this time, when suddenly, a voice came from outside the palace: "Your Majesty, the Crown Prince is now confronting the Prime Minister in front of the Prime Minister's Mansion!"

Ok?
"Nonsense!" The emperor frowned and shouted to the eunuch at his feet: "Go, pass on my oral order..."
