Chapter 190: The Scourge of Witchcraft 2
[Vol. 1] Verse 190: The Scourge of Witchcraft 2
------------
Jiang Chong wants to do big things, the purpose is to kill the prince who has been a prince for more than 30 years, and he does have the guts.
Jiang Chong is thoughtful, according to his observation, the position of the crown prince Liu Ju is not stable, Liu Che has said many times that Liu Ju is too weak, not like himself, and Liu Ju and Liu Che have long been estranged, Liu Che appointed cool officials to create unjust cases, but Liu Ju gives people โกโก, father and son are like political enemies of different camps.
Among Liu Che's other four sons, Liu Dan, the king of Yan, was ambitious, Liu Xu, the king of Guangling, was arrogant and extravagant, and the king of Changyi had no great wisdom, but the three-year-old son Liu Fuling was deeply favored by Liu Che.
Liu Fuling's birth was very extraordinary, his mother Gouyi Mrs. Zhao was born with a fist in one hand, and she was more than ten years old, but she still couldn't open it. Liu Che happened to be patrolling in He Jianguo (Suning County, Hebei), and there were monks who passed through Wangqi and played that there were strange women here. Liu Che's eyes lit up when he heard that there was a strange girl, and his interest trembled.
He sent a message to look for him, and sure enough, the officials soon brought a Zhao girl. I saw that this woman was good-looking, but the strange thing was that one of her hands was clenched into a fist, Liu Che was curious for a while, and after understanding, it turned out that this woman was born like this. He was interested, called Zhao to him, squinted his eyes and looked at it, then grabbed her right hand and broke it gently.
At this moment, Zhao's mouth opened wide in shock, she covered her exclamation lips with her other hand, and looked at the man in front of her fixedly.
Liu Che picked up the small jade hook in his hand, and his heart was extremely happy, it seems that this woman is also lazy. The ministers can't wait for the mountain to shout long live, the sycophants are rolling like thunder in the sky, and the thunderbolts are crackling.
Liu Che brought the woman back to Chang'an and placed her in Ganquan Palace, called "Mrs. Fist", and soon after she was named Jieyu, and her bedroom was renamed Gouyi Palace, so Zhao Jieyu was also called Mrs. Gouyi.
Leaving aside the mysterious hands of Mrs. Gouyi, this kind of miracle is not uncommon in the long history of the court, and its purpose is nothing more than to please the emperor and attract the emperor's attention.
Qi is strange in this Mrs. Gouyi's pregnancy, as the saying goes, she is pregnant in October, and Mrs. Gouyi is actually pregnant for 14 months, and Liu Fuling, who gave birth to is even more tiger-headed and very smart.
You have to admire Liu Che's intentions, Liu Che is reminded of ancient records, Yao's mother gave birth to Yao in the fourteenth month of pregnancy, what does this seem to portend?
Although Liu Che was not sure, he still issued an edict to call the palace gate where Liu Fuling was born the Yaomu Gate, and Liu Che's actions caused speculation among the courtiers.
Yao's mother gave birth to Emperor Yao, and the prince has not died yet, so the emperor gave an honorific title that only a prince and emperor have, does this indicate that Liu Che wants to change the crown prince? As the saying goes, three years old is big, and seven years old is old. Three-year-old Liu Fuling is indeed very much like Liu Che, the same precocious wisdom, the same lively and active.
Jiang Chong spied that the holy will was like this, and it was enough. He doesn't care which son Liu Che wants to change, in order to survive, he must set up a gambling game and gamble.
If he wins, he is the first hero to bring down the prince, but the ending of losing is no different from the ending of not gambling.
And the secret weapon that Jiang Chong chose was the witch Gu that the gods blocked the death of the gods and the Buddha blocked the destruction of the Buddhas. Liu Che pursued immortality all his life, favored Fangshi, Chang'an City gods and witches gathered, wooden dolls used for witches, dolls have become the most sought-after commodity, it depends on who is not pleasing to the eye, bury a few wooden dolls in his house, and the family will be unlucky.
Although witchcraft has been popular for many years, Liu Che's real trick started with Gongsun He's father and son, and Liu Che was not confused enough before and was not easy to be fooled.
Jiang Chong secretly planned, and made careful preparations from many aspects such as personnel selection, market procurement, palace gate security inspection, site selection and burial.
When all this was ready and Jiang Chong's minions were about to move, Jiang Chong held them down and told them to wait.
What was he waiting for? Is there anything heavier than striking first?
Jiang Chong was indeed waiting, but he was waiting for an opportunity.
The time he waited for was not easy to wait, but Jiang Chong thought that in order to ensure that nothing went wrong, he had to wait, and Jiang Chong was very confident, he would definitely be able to wait for this opportunity.
Liu Che is sixty-six years old this year, although he is still in good spirits, but after all, he is not as good as before, he is easy to get sleepy, and when he is sleepy, he dreams, and his dreams are all messy things.
For this reason, Jiang Chong often sent people to investigate in front of the emperor to capture the fighters.
Jiang Chong also couldn't help it, he personally entered the palace to meet Liu Che to express the courtier's concern for his master. Unexpectedly, there was nowhere to find the iron shoes, and it took no effort to get them.
Liu Che told Jiang Chong, I happened to have a dream before you came, I dreamed that countless wooden people attacked me with a staff, what do you say is going on?
Jiang Chong's eyes lit up, and he thought to himself, God will help me. He keenly found that the time to do it had come, and the time he had to wait for was this, he knew that Liu Che had been wise all his life, and it was not easy to fool him, and he had to do the big thing he wanted to do when he was suspicious and restless.
Jiang Chong pretended to be serious and said, "Your Majesty, this is a witch trick. โ
Liu Che asked incomprehensibly, is it really a witch?
Liu Che was like thunder about witchcraft, and he killed a lot of people because of it, but he never got hit. If you do get hit, it's terrible.
Jiang Chong insisted that according to the experience of interviewing people in various places after living for most of his life, you are really a witch.
Liu Che was already suspicious of the witch Gu matter, and with his trust in Jiang Chong, he believed it. Of course, Liu Che knows that witch Gu is not terrible, what is terrible is people's hearts.
Therefore, Liu Che made up his mind to investigate the matter thoroughly, and designated Jiang Chong to investigate.
Jiang Chong's thinking is very clear, he knows that if he wants to do big things, he can't do stupid things first, or even make a wrong step. The prince's goal is too big, his power is too strong, he can't startle the snake, he slammed it with a stick, the snake didn't hit, and he was bitten to death.
Therefore, his first move was not to drink alcohol, he started by arresting and framing small fish and shrimps, creating momentum, so that people were not surprised by his Jiang Chong's witch Gu case, and they were accustomed to it.
Of course, those royal relatives and nobles in Chang'an don't care about the lives of small fish and shrimps, although the number of people who died in Jiang Chong's hands has reached tens of thousands, no one has come out to stop Jiang Chong, Jiang Chong's purpose has been achieved, because people are really used to Jiang Daren's witch Gu, and one day Jiang Daren will stop doing it, maybe it will become a hot topic in the roadside society.
When Jiang Chong was in charge of any strain, Liu Che fell ill.
At Liu Che's age, it's normal to get sick, and there's no need to make a fuss.
However, Jiang Chong found Hu Wu Tan He, and Tan He expressed his high opinion on this, he said, Your Majesty, the reason why you are sick is because there is Gu Qi in the palace, and if you don't get rid of it, you won't get better.
As soon as the words came out, Jiang Chong and Tan He looked at each other, and the two of them bowed their heads together.
Liu Che in pain can not be distinguished. He had long heard that some people were tired of him, tired, and hoped that he would die soon! In this way, the rumors are not unfounded.
"Gu Qi?! Check, you check it for me. โ
Liu Che's tone bordered on hysteria.
Jiang Chong summoned his minions, including Su Wen, who had offended the crown prince. Liu Che was worried that Jiang Chong would not be able to do it alone, so he specially sent Hou Han to say that Yu Shi Zhangzhen was going to help.
With these people, Jiang Chong is like a tiger. Once again, Jiang Chong resorted to roundabout tactics to disguise his ultimate target, the crown prince.
He ordered people to start with the harem concubines who fell out of favor, dig three feet into the ground, and finally only the queen's middle palace and the prince's east palace remained.
"Daring, do you know what this place is?" The attendants of the middle palace blocked the palace gate and shouted angrily.
"We are waiting for the emperor's edict to come to cure witches." Jiang Chong sneered.
"Where is the emperor's edict?"
"I've got it." Jiang Chong pointed to the holy decree in his right hand, and with a wave of his hand, the minions were about to be filled.
The attendants of the middle palace were all blocked outside the palace gate, and the two sides pushed their hands together.
"Stop." I saw a graceful and elegant woman walking out surrounded by slaves and maids.
There is no need to guess, she is Empress Wei, although she is old now, her skin still has few wrinkles, her eyes are like a bright moon, her eyes are full of kindness, and her demeanor is still thousands.
She stopped the attendants, looked at Jiang Chong slightly, and sighed, "Lord Jiang, the people are rude, since you hold the emperor's order, go in and check, just don't mess up the decorations in the palace." โ
Although Jiang Chong's heart was not right, he couldn't help but bow deeply in the face of such a gentle and courteous queen.
He straightened up, waved his hand to let the minions in, and strictly ordered him not to act recklessly.
Out of awe for the queen, the search was carried out in an orderly manner, but as the search progressed, Empress Wei's face turned from red to blue, from blue to white, and her body trembled.
She saw that Jiang Chong's subordinates suddenly had a large number of puppets in their hands, and these puppets were dug up from her dormitory.
Jiang Chong's eyes were cold when he left, and out of etiquette, he still bowed to Empress Wei, turned around and left, and went straight to the East Palace.
Everything went as planned, and under the efforts of Huangmenlang Su Wen, the East Palace dug up the most 'goods', and also found a lot of silk books, on which rebellious words were written.
Prince Liu was shocked when he learned that his bedroom had found many witch things, and he hurriedly found a teacher, Young Fu Shide, Shi De is also a confused person, he thinks that at this critical moment, he must strike first, otherwise according to the emperor's confused and cruel mood, I am afraid that His Royal Highness will end up with the two princesses.
The crown prince Liu Ji hesitated, "Jiang Chong is acting on orders, how can he kill without permission?" โ
"Your Royal Highness, you are so confused, the emperor is recuperating in Ganquan Palace, and he doesn't even see the queen, causing traitors to behave indiscriminately, if you don't make a quick decision, won't you become a prince Fusu?"
Shi De's words did not move Liu Ju, Liu Ju said, "I am the son of the emperor, how can I punish him, it is better to ask for guilt, the emperor should not blame." โ
The crown prince Liu Ju went to Ganquan Palace, and on the way, he found a serious problem.
He found that he couldn't go to Ganquan Palace, and the capital was already โกโก, and Jiang Chong's ears, eyes and minions were checking everywhere, and it was said that he was arresting the prince.
Liu Ju was afraid and angry, and now he can't think of a better way, so he can only use the method of his teacher Shi De.
The crown prince Liu Ju sent someone to falsely pass on the holy decree, and transferred a soldier to the nearest place to arrest Jiang Chong and others. As soon as the two people met, the envoy put forward the holy decree, and the edict angrily denounced Jiang Chong for rebellion, and ordered the generals to arrest Jiang Chong.
Jiang Chong and the others naturally don't believe it, so what else is there to say? Do it.
The soldiers pounced.
Jiang Chong and the others resisted in a panic, but after all, there were many soldiers, Han Shuo was killed, Jiang Chong and Tan He were captured, Su Wen and Zhang Jian fled, and the rest of the people were killed.
When Jiang Chong was relieved to Liu Ju, he sighed, he planned every move properly, but he didn't expect that he would lose the whole game by missing a move.
After Liu scolded Jiang Chong, he personally solved him with a knife, and Tan He was also taken to Shanglin Yuan and burned to death.
The damned man is dead, and things look like they're going to be in peace.
But Liu Ju did something stupid at this juncture.
He ordered the prince to enter the Weiyang Palace on the night of the festival and confess to the queen mother, and at the same time he opened the arsenal, distributed the weapons to the guards, and announced to the ministers that Jiang Chong had rebelled and was now going to search for the rest of the party in the city.
Chang'an City suddenly shook.
"What is the prince going to do? Did Jiang Chong really rebel? โ
"I think the prince is going to rebel!"
Chang'an was disturbed, and rumors spread everywhere, but Liu Che, who was recuperating in Ganquan Palace, didn't know at all.
Until he saw Su Wen, who was covered in injuries and extremely embarrassed.
Su Wen cried, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, Jiang Chong, Han Shuo and others were beheaded by the prince, and the prince has rebelled. โ
Liu Che shook his head, "Impossible, it must be because the prince is afraid and hates Jiang Chong, so the incident happened." โ
Seeing that Liu Che didn't believe it, Su Wen cried even harder.
Liu Che immediately ordered someone to go to the prince to find out, this person went out of Ganquan Palace, found a place where no one was outside, shook around, he found that Chang'an City was โกโก everywhere, he was afraid for three points, touched his head, and thought about it is better not to send him to death.
He may not have foreseen how many heads would fall to the ground because of his head. This also proves once again that big things are often caused by small people.
So, he turned back to Ganquan Palace, and when he saw Liu Che, his first words were, "The prince has rebelled, and he wants to behead the minister, but the minister has fled back." โ
One lies, two come true.
Liu Che was immediately furious, and scolded repeatedly, "Rebel." โ
He was about to send someone to call the prime minister to come over to see him, but he saw that the prime minister had stumbled to Ganquan Palace.
