When taking stock of Ming Taizong at the beginning, Lao Zhu was stunned!

Chapter 140 How can you chill the heart of a loyal minister?

But at the moment, Liu Che had no intention of listening to him: "It doesn't have to be like this? This matter has not happened yet. There are other people who must remember to educate their children and be virtuous."

He really doesn't care about the affairs of Gongsun He's family. For him, people like Jiang Chong are really useful. No emperor would dislike him, but such people may also bring trouble to him.

As a result, his mind is now filled with visions of the future.

[Liu Che naturally agreed to this request, and then Gongsun He captured Zhu Anshi and put him in prison.But is this matter simply overturned? 】

[As a man who had been wanted for many years, Zhu Shi'an naturally did not plead guilty willingly. He wrote a letter in prison reporting Gongsun Jingsheng's affair with Princess Yangshi, practicing witchcraft, and cursing the emperor. 】

[After receiving such news, Liu Che decided. 】

[[-]: We attach great importance to immediate investigation. 】

[Two: I think it’s too much of a coincidence and there are some problems, but I’d better check it out. 】

[Three: scoff and don’t believe it at all. 】
-
Qin Dynasty.

The expression on Ying Zheng's face has become serious, and many ministers below him are even more so, and even behaved in a very rude manner.

Something as extremely mysterious and unknown as the art of witchcraft and Gu was related to the monarch. Many people secretly shook their heads. I am afraid that this Gongsun family will not end well.
-
Han Dynasty, the first year before Emperor Wen.

Liu Heng could no longer maintain a calm mind now. Even if it was a false accusation, no emperor would take it lightly and would definitely investigate it thoroughly.

Does this kind of thing still need to be considered?
Do I still need to make this choice myself?

The affairs of the emperor are of great importance, let alone such matters of witchcraft. Whether it is among the people or the court, it is a taboo among taboos. This Zhu Shi'an has captured the key content, and even the emperor will not despise it. , an investigation will inevitably be launched.

Likewise, the Gongsun family will not end well even if they prove their innocence.

As for the so-called fornication?
That's just the princess's personal morality. Compared with the emperor and the witchcraft, what does it mean?
Liu Heng was a little irritated. There was definitely a big problem behind this matter. Could it be that Jiang Chong inspired Zhu Anshi?
There is a high probability that the witchcraft thing is not true. It is hard to say that it is not the conspiracy of other forces to frame the prince Liu Ju. They can not only point their swords at the prince, but also cut off part of the prince's wings.

Liu Heng sighed and pressed an option.
-
Song Dynasty, the first year of Kaibao.

Zhao Kuangyin also sighed, who would have thought that the struggle that included Liu Che himself and swallowed up the entire Han Dynasty court was just a wanted criminal.

In the beginning, it was just Gongsun Jingsheng's private misappropriation of money, which obviously had no major impact.

The final result is so sad.

Zhao Guangmei said: "Emperor Xiaowu has already experienced a witchcraft disaster. Although it was limited to the harem and did not cause major chaos, he is now old and must be feeling unwell. If there is a villain who blames it on witches, Gu, the Emperor Wu might be furious."

On the one hand, which of the ancients was not superstitious?

They were all in awe of ghosts and gods.

In addition, people become unwell in their later years and are linked to such mysterious things. How could Liu Che let him go so easily?

[After receiving the news, Liu Che was furious and ordered the relevant departments to conduct a strict review and thoroughly investigate the witchcraft incident. 】

[So, in the second year of Zhenghe, Gongsun He was arrested and charged with many crimes. He and his son Gongsun Jingsheng died in prison. However, this was a major incident that affected the entire court, and it could be settled by just the death of one Gongsun family member. ? 】【In April of the same year, Princess Yangshi, Princess Zhu Yi, Wei Qing's son, etc. were all within the group, and the prince's power was almost abolished by half. However, this was still not the end, because Jiang Chong saw the possibility of completely eliminating the prince. 】

[Liu Che was nearly seventy years old at the time, and his physical condition was constantly declining, with minor injuries and illnesses one after another. At this time, Liu Che also had a young son, so he was naturally very close to him. 】

[During this period, the prince and Liu Che were also at odds with each other and were not in the same place. 】
-
The early years of the Han Dynasty.

Liu Bang also had some surprises. He actually saw Wei Qing's son, as well as people from the Wei family and many princesses in Lian Zuozhong.These are the wings of the prince and the pillars of their future.

It's a pity, because these pillars of villains are gone.

Of course, what Liu Bang cared about was not their passing, but that some people used them to create a rift between the emperor and Liu Che.

Everyone is trying to subvert the emperor's layout. However, the emperor's lack of energy, his love for his youngest son, and the fact that he and the prince are separated from each other and have inconvenient communication are very likely to allow these servants to take this opportunity to make a shocking change.
-
Han Dynasty, the fourth year of Yuanshou.

Seeing that Wei Qing's son was also implicated, even Liu Che felt a little embarrassed.

After all, father and son both stood firmly on the side of the emperor and the prince, and he loved him in every possible way.

After Wei Qing died, he treated his son like this.

Before he could say anything, Wei Qing took the lead and said, "I believe that your Majesty will not unjustly accuse anyone who is innocent."

The other ministers in the palace tried to persuade Liu Che, which finally made Liu Che relax a little and decided to increase Wei Qing's reward.

How can you chill the hearts of loyal ministers?

Besides, we are all still relatives.

Similarly, his doting on his youngest son was unavoidable for any father, but he was still angry.

These people even took advantage of the feelings of their emperor’s family!
How could he, Liu Che, abolish his son and establish him as a crown prince?

You know, at that time, I already had a prince who I had cultivated for many years and who had deep feelings and could succeed the great man well. Why did I need to replace him with another son?

Would you like to change it early?
How could he wait until he was nearly seventy years old, exhausted and unable to teach?
No matter how much I dote on him, I can't bet on the great man's power!

[Liu Che was old and suffered from various ailments, which became the breakthrough point for Jiang Chong's witchcraft. 】

[He reported to Liu Che, claiming that Liu Che's illness was caused by someone using witchcraft to target the emperor. Faced with such a statement, which involved unknown areas, how could Liu Che endure it, so he once again handed over the power of thoroughly investigating the witchcraft. Gave it to Jiang Chong. 】

[And Jiang Chong naturally spared no effort to lead people to search everywhere. Once he caught a suspect, he would arrest and torture him, force him to confess his crime, and show that confessing his accomplices would reduce his crime. 】

[Such a style of doing things can easily lead to random biting. People continue to falsely accuse each other in order to escape torture, and the innocent people who are accused are unable to tell the story of their suffering. 】

[Tens of thousands of people were implicated in this turmoil, most of them civilians who were innocent but were forced to be involved in this whirlpool. 】
