Chapter 130 The Disaster of Witchcraft
  The territory of the Han Dynasty expanded more than twice under Liu Che's rule. This great achievement made Han Wen Emperor Liu Heng quite excited.

Especially after driving the Xiongnu Chanyu out of Mobei and completely eliminating the threat from the Xiongnu, he couldn't help but feel happy.

Think about it, the Han Dynasty under his rule could only humiliate and compromise in the face of the intrusion of the Huns, and sent the Han princess to marry, but his grandson Liu Che could beat the Huns into hiding.

The difference was so huge that it made him sigh. After all, it was his grandson who was better!

The Xiongnu would provoke the big man from time to time, but he could only swallow his anger.

There was no way. With the national strength of the Han Dynasty, it was impossible to defeat the Huns, so they had to compromise.

But now that his grandson Liu Che had defeated the Huns and avenged their previous humiliation, he suddenly felt that everything he had done was worth it.

He knew that with the Han's current strength, it was impossible to compete with the Xiongnu.

So he quietly recuperated, slowly accumulated national strength, and worked hard to accumulate family wealth so that the next generation could complete the important task of wiping out the Huns.

Now it seems that his grandson did it and lived up to his expectations.

"Although the territory of the Han Dynasty has more than doubled, the Huns in the north have recovered after nearly ten years of cultivation. In addition, the former gods of war Wei Qing and Huo Qubing have passed away, so the Huns have once again become a border threat to the Han Dynasty. "

"In 101 BC, the fifty-year-old Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty once again issued an edict to conquer the Xiongnu. However, several campaigns before and after were unsuccessful. Even generals Li Ling and Li Guangli surrendered to the Xiongnu."

"In addition, the Han Dynasty had exhausted its citizens due to successive years of war, and Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty also gained the reputation of being militaristic."

Liu Che just heard that he was so proud of opening up new territories, and the excitement on his face could not get over, but he immediately made a 180-degree turn, knocking him into the bottom.

He was worried enough when he learned that Wei Qing and Huo Qubing had died. As a result, the Xiongnu invasion had once again become a border threat to the Han Dynasty, which made him feel powerless in his heart. Why would the Xiongnu never end?

And that's not the only thing. Even if the Han army went unfavorable on several expeditions, Li Ling and Li Guangli, as generals of the Han Dynasty, shamelessly surrendered to the enemy, humiliating the Han Dynasty.

He is still young now, far from fifty years old, and he doesn't know who Li Ling and Li Guangli are.

He could only silently remember the names Li Ling and Li Guangli in his heart, and he would never reuse these two people in the future.

However, this also alerted him. He did not want to be accused of being militaristic. It seemed that he still had to consider the people more and avoid being overwhelmed by successive wars.

"In his later years, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty began to believe in Taoist alchemists, carried out large-scale construction projects, built holy platforms and other buildings, and also went on tours many times. He spent extravagantly, leaving the treasury empty and the people living in poverty."

"Prince Liu Zheng also often gave advice to his father, which made Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty very dissatisfied with his soft-hearted son, and the two sides gradually became estranged."

Liu Che: Was I really so dim in my later years?

His brows were furrowed, and he couldn't believe what the anchor said. In his later years, he was acting like a fool.

He believed in alchemists, built a lot of construction projects, and was squandering money. If these words hadn't come from the anchor's mouth, he would have thought it was the work of some foolish king!

He is now a young man and cannot understand how he became like this in his later years. The difference is huge.

If he becomes a foolish king in his later years, it is not impossible for him to force Prince Liu Zhi to death.

He is now a little afraid to continue listening to the anchor. The next step should be how he forces the prince to death.

"In 94 BC, Madam Gou Yi gave birth to the prince Liu Fuling when she was fourteen months pregnant. Because it coincided with the time when Emperor Yao was in the womb in ancient times, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty named Madam Gou Yi's palace gate Yao Mu Gate. .”

"This move made the outside world suspicious that Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty wanted to replace the prince with his youngest son, so the ministers in the court naturally formed two factions pro- and against the prince, and the witchcraft disaster in history began."

Mrs. Gou Yi from another time and space: I will give birth to Liu Fuling in the future. This is wonderful. Liu Fuling will be the next emperor, Emperor Zhao of the Han Dynasty, and then I will be the empress dowager of the powerful Han Dynasty.

Liu Che: My Liu Fuling was born to Mrs. Gou Yi. This Mrs. Gou Yi was very good and gave birth to a wise king for my big man.

It was only now that the Liu Fulin he was looking forward to appeared.

This Liu Fuling is a wise monarch with a score of 9. He must be trained well in the future.

However, this witchcraft disaster made him worried. Now it seems that the death of Prince Liu Zhi has a lot to do with the witchcraft disaster. At the same time, he also silently kept Yao Mumen in his heart and warned himself not to do this again in his later years.

Emperor Yao was an emperor in ancient times, and his behavior in his later years really easily made ministers think wrong.

Because of this unusual move, the ministers in the DPRK and the Central Government started fighting among themselves, which eventually led to the outbreak of the witchcraft disaster.

He warned himself deeply in his heart that as an emperor, he must consider things carefully and must not send wrong signals to his ministers to avoid causing turmoil.

"In 91 BC, the son of Prime Minister Gongsun He was arrested and imprisoned after using military funds without authorization. In order to atone for his crime, Gongsun He arrested Zhu Shi'an, who was wanted by Emperor Wu."

"Unexpectedly, Zhu Shi'an falsely accused Gongsun He of practicing witchcraft and cursing the emperor in prison. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was furious and executed Gongsun and his son, and beheaded everyone in his family."

"After that, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, who was often sick, believed more in the curse of witchcraft. His close confidant Jiang Chongyin had conflicts with the prince Liu Zhi."

"Minister Jiang Chong was worried that Liu Ju would retaliate against him after he succeeded to the throne, so he pretended to search the prince's palace, and then took out a puppet prepared in advance to frame Liu Ju and curse Emperor Wu."

"Although Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty at this time was far away from Weiyang Palace and ignored the government affairs, he was recuperating in Ganquan Palace, but he was aware of the major events in the world."

"But the prince Liu Ju didn't know the life and death of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, so he thought Jiang Chong wanted to kill him and rebelled, so the prince arrested and killed Jiang Chong."

"Afterwards, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty sent an envoy to interrogate the prince, but the envoy was afraid of death and did not dare to go to Liu Ju to interrogate him, so he made nonsense and claimed that the prince had rebelled."

"Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was furious after hearing this and immediately sent troops to quell the rebellion. In the end, Liu Ju's family and his mother Wei Zifu were forced to commit suicide, leaving only his infant grandson Liu Bingji."

"But the next year, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty dramatically stated that the prince's rebellion was the result of a traitor, and ordered the killing of all ministers who had opposed the prince's party."

At this moment, Liu Che only felt a burst of pain. Even if the witchcraft disaster would not happen until his later years, he now had a deep understanding of the difficult situation of the prince Liu Zhi, and also understood why he was said to have forced the queen, mother and son to death.

Prince Liu Ju was framed by a traitor and could not meet him to explain the details.

And he was blinded by the traitor and mistakenly believed that Prince Liu Ju was rebelling, which ultimately caused an irreparable tragedy.

He sighed helplessly, how could he be so stupid in his old age, and actually believe the lies of traitors.

He was already dying in his old age and had only a few years to live. The throne was about to belong to Prince Liu Zhi. How could Prince Liu Zhi be stupid enough to rebel at this time?
  He felt sorry that the prince Liu Zhi in history was forced to commit suicide.

But fortunately, such a tragic tragedy is unlikely to happen again in his era, and Liu Zhi will live well.

In another time and space, Liu Che, who was in his later years, was terrified. Fortunately, it did not lead to a tragedy, and nothing happened yet.

When he thought that there were traitorous ministers who wanted to assassinate the prince Liu Zhi, he was so angry that he immediately ordered all the traitors to be executed.

"In 89 BC, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty issued the Luntai Edict when he was enshrining Zen in Mount Tai. He personally reflected on his past mistakes, dismissed the alchemists, stopped paying heavy taxes, and determined not to send troops to waste the country's power from now on, and to implement the policy of self-cultivation and recuperation."

"In 88 BC, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty knew that his time was running out, so he entrusted his son Liu Fuling to Gu Huoguang and other auxiliary ministers."

"But in order to prevent his relatives from interfering in politics, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty ordered the death of Liu Fuling's biological mother, Mrs. Gou Yi, to avoid future troubles and to ensure a smooth transition of the political situation of the Han Dynasty after his death."

"In 87 BC, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was seriously ill and issued an edict to make Liu Fuling the crown prince. Soon after, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty died of illness at the age of seventy."

Mrs. Gou Yi:......

Liu Che: Although he became comatose in his later years, fortunately he woke up in time and the country of Han Dynasty was saved.

He felt very complicated at the moment, and he was slightly relieved.

In his later years, he did a series of ridiculous things and almost destroyed the country.

But fortunately, he suddenly woke up and promptly issued an edict to adjust national policies and implement recuperation and recuperation.

More importantly, he executed Mrs. Gou Yi, handed the Han Empire into Liu Fulin's hands without any constraints, and put the Han Dynasty on the right track.
