[Vol. 1] Section 191: The Scourge of Witchcraft 3

------------

Liu Che is strange that there is such a big thing outside, and he can't see the figure of Prime Minister Liu Quyu, but he sees the prime minister's long history.

Before Changshi could stand firm, he asked in the first sentence, "What did the prime minister do?" ”

Changshi naturally can't answer truthfully, he and the prime minister are grasshoppers in the same boat, and the prime minister is going to be derelict in his duties, and he can't escape the blame. Prime Minister Liu Quyu had already laid the baggage, hid the seal, and prepared to slip away, before leaving, he sent Changshi to probe Liu Che's tone.

Changshi replied, "Because of the importance of the matter, the prime minister can only keep the troops secret. ”

Then, he secretly glanced at Liu Che's face, only to see Liu Che's face angry, "Rumors are spreading, where is the secret?" The prime minister doesn't have the demeanor of Zhou Gong, Zhou Gong doesn't punish him, Cai? ”

Liu Quyu wants to know that Liu Che has such high requirements for him, I am afraid that he will be grateful, as soon as Gongsun He died, Liu Che designated him, the Taishou of Zhuo County, to take over as prime minister. It can be said that he has been promoted several levels, but as long as he has a normal head, he knows that Liu Che's appearance is quite unacceptable, and he will be killed by Liu Che if he is not careful.

Liu Quyu has not been prime minister for a few years, and such a big thing happened, his first reaction was to run, and he was not at ease before running, so he came to probe Liu Che's tone.

Liu Che has already made it very clear, what he means is that you don't care if it's my son or not, although sending troops to quell the rebellion is.

Liu Che wrote a letter and asked Changshi to bring to the prime minister

The letter reads: "Those who hunt down the rebels will naturally be rewarded. However, you must use ox carts as oars, and do not fight in close quarters to kill or injure soldiers. Then close the gates and don't let them escape. ”

After reading the letter, Liu Quyu had a score in his heart, and he temporarily let go of the idea of escaping.

Subsequently, Liu Che moved to Jianzhang Palace and issued an edict to the units above the county level in the Sanfu area, requiring the region to send troops under the command of the prime minister.

So what are you waiting for?

Liu Quyu immediately gathered his troops and horses and went to arrest the crown prince Liu Ju.

Liu was so anxious that he became an ant on a hot pot when he learned that the prime minister was coming, although he had a little guard in his hands, but there were no soldiers, and as soon as the prime minister came, he could only wait to be killed.

Liu Ju's brain got into a dead end, others brought troops to attack, who stipulated that it must be blocked? With the dignity of his crown prince, without Liu Che's order, no one would dare to touch him even if he was caught, and he could take the opportunity to have a heart-to-heart communication with his father to clarify the misunderstanding.

But Liu Ju then did something stupid that made people laugh and cry.

He sent people to the prison in Chang'an, pardoned the prisoners with a false decree, and served as soldiers, led by his teacher Shi De and guest Zhang Guang. Liu Ju sent an envoy to run out of Chang'an, preparing to lead the cavalry of Changshui and Xuanqu Hu near Chang'an to help in the battle, but a squire named Ma Tong saw that there was fraud and killed the envoy.

The Hu cavalry regiment still led the army into Chang'an, but they went to quell the rebellion.

Liu Ju was put on the table, he simply didn't do anything, and sent people to announce to all the ministers that Liu Che was seriously ill and the traitorous ministers were in trouble. He led people to the southeast of Chang'an City, which was the garrison of the Northern Army, and he found Ren An, the envoy of the Northern Army, to give him a rune and order him to send troops.

Ren An accepted the Fu Festival very respectfully, and bowed to the prince again and again, but he did not give Liu Yi this face, he ordered his subordinates to close the city gate, and the northern army could not hold out.

This made Liu Ju very annoyed, but there was nothing he could do.

You can only write down the accounts and calculate them later.

Liu Ju fully mobilized the masses and shouted on Chang'an Avenue, gathering tens of thousands of citizens who did not know what to do.

After a series of actions by Liu Ju, Chang'an City has become a mess, and no one can figure out who is a traitor and who is a loyal minister!

The prime minister and the crown prince finally met at the west gate of Changle Palace.

When the prime minister saw the prince's 'soldiers', he was happy, what kind of soldiers, even beggars, isn't this self-defeating?

"Your Highness, Your Majesty treats you well, how can you be so rebellious? Don't be tied yet! ”

"Prime Minister, Your Majesty has been deceived by traitors, and this prince is about to kill all the traitors, you don't want to block the way of this prince!"

"What does Your Highness mean, is it true that he is also a traitor?"

"Prime Minister, you are the elder brother of Prince Ben, don't force me." Liu Quyu is the second son of Liu Che's brother Liu Sheng, the king of Zhongshan Jing, and Liu Ju's cousin.

"Since His Highness is unwilling to put down his weapon, the prime minister can only be forced to make a move."

The prince actually didn't want to fight with Liu Quyu, and when he was hesitating, the soldiers behind Liu Quyu had rushed up impatiently, Liu Quyu's warriors, prisoners and some people who wanted to make meritorious contributions to the city, there were tens of thousands of people, Liu Quyu's soldiers were all regular troops, but after all, there were few people, and they didn't take much advantage of fighting.

However, Liu Quyu has an advantage, because the soldiers near Chang'an are constantly rushing to the west gate of Changle Palace.

For five days and nights, the sound of killing in Chang'an shook the sky, Liu Che was restless, and Empress Wei was even more worried.

Five days and nights have passed, and it can only be described in one word, miserable.

The west gate of Changle Palace is already a river of blood.

The crown prince Liu Ju's face was covered with blood, most of his subordinates were slaughtered, and Liu Ju had only one word in his head, flee

Liu Ju quickly rode south to the gate of Fuang, and the man who guarded the door, Si Zhitian Ren, he thought that the crown prince was the emperor's son after all, and maybe the father and son would be reconciled in two days.

Tian Ren released Liu Ju from Chang'an. Liu Quyu arrived on the back foot, and heard that Tian Ren let the prince go without permission, he was very angry, he led the troops to fight for five days and five nights, in order to catch this unscrupulous son, but was let go at the last moment.

Liu Quyu wanted to kill Tian Ren, but was stopped by the fellow Imperial Doctor Violent Shengzhi, "Si Zhi is a two-thousand-stone official, you have to ask the emperor before you can kill it." ”

Liu Quyu thought about it, so he didn't pursue it.

Storm Victory never dreamed that this sentence would kill him.

Because Liu Che later got angry, he said that Tian Ren let go of the rebels without permission, and the prime minister beheaded him, is it in accordance with the law? As a royal historian, why do you want to stop it?

Violent Shengzhi was scolded and stunned, he thought about it carefully, the old emperor was suspicious, he must have suspected that he was the prince's gang, in fact, Liu Che was in an upset mood, and he had nothing to find fault with, he just wanted to find someone to scold.

But Storm Victory didn't think so, he was so panicked that he had to commit suicide.

Tian Ren was beheaded because of his personal indulgence with the prince. The Northern Protector made Ren An accept the prince's talisman, but he didn't come out, and the two ends of the first rat should also go to the beheading together. Before Ren An's beheading, he begged Sima Qian to intercede for him, and Sima Qian thought for a long time and wrote the "Book of Reporting to Ren'an" that has been passed down through the ages.

All the prince's guests were executed, and the officials and citizens who took advantage of the chaos to rob were all distributed to Dunhuang.

After disposing of these people, Liu Che remembered a person, she was a woman, and she was also his queen, Wei Zifu.

She has no way to teach her son, and she can't escape the blame for giving birth to such a rebellious son.

Liu Che ordered Zongzheng Liu Chang, and Liu Dare to go to Jiaofang Hall to receive the queen's seal.

Empress Wei had already tidied up her clothes and ribbons, her face was calm, but she couldn't hide the sadness in her eyes, she sent the maids out of the dormitory, told them to do their job well, and then said that she was tired and wanted to rest for a while.

The attendants did know that the queen hadn't slept well in the past few days, and now the killing outside the gate of Changle Palace had finally stopped, and she also learned that the prince had escaped from the gate, so she let go of her hanging heart.

The attendants retreated quietly, and when the door of the dormitory was gently closed, Empress Wei finally didn't hold back, and two lines of clear tears flowed down her cheeks, and she flowed to her heart's content.

When Zongzheng Liu Chang and Zhijin Wu Liu dared to push open the door of the queen's bedroom, they were stunned.

I saw that the queen had been hanging on the beam of the house, and she was already out of breath.

Wei Zifu, from a singer to the back position, she is virtuous and virtuous, gentle and kind, and has accompanied Liu Che for thirty-eight years, and in the past thirty-eight years, she has given everything she has for his husband.

And what she got in the end was not what she wanted. She may want to arouse Liu Che's mercy with death, hoping that he can let Liu Yi go, after all, it is his blood with her.

However, Liu Ju did not live a good life as her mother hoped, even if she went away from the world, and lived a humble life.

Liu left Chang'an and went east to a lake, where he hid. But unfortunately, Liu Ju was still recognized

In the second year of Zhenghe (91 BC), in August, the officers and soldiers rounded up Liu Ju, who knew that he could not escape and could only commit suicide.

When Liu Che saw his son again, he was already a cold corpse, beside him, and at the same time, there was also his imperial grandson, Liu Ju's son.

At this moment, Liu Che realized that in this inexplicable witch Gu case, he was the real loser.

As the sun set, the blood was red, just like Liu Che's state of mind.
