What's worse is that in 106 BC, Wei Qing, who had spent his whole life in military service, died of illness. With the fall of Wei Qing, Wei Zifu's biggest supporter, the flatterer lost his opponent and naturally became more arrogant. They thought that since Wei Qing was dead, wouldn't a benevolent prince be difficult to deal with?

As a result, these treacherous officials and those who had grievances with the Wei and Huo families all began to attack Liu Ju, framing him and lowering his reputation.

Wei Qing was shocked when he heard this.

He's gone now?

Huo Qubing raised his eyes, slightly frightened, and said, "Uncle!"

Liu Che no longer had the heart to think about anything else. His mind was filled with the death of Wei Qing. He staggered to his feet and grabbed Wei Qing's hand, "Zhongqing, I will not allow you to die!"

Wei Qing cannot die.

How could Wei Qing die?

Wei Qing supported Liu Che, who sat on the ground in a utterly ungraceful manner, holding onto Wei Qing tightly. Wei Qing squatted on the ground and let Liu Che hold him, unable to recover for a long time.

Yes.

He's gone.

How could my sister have an easy life in the harem?

How can my nephew have an easy time?

Huo Qubing looked at Wei Qing with red eyes and choked up, "Uncle!"

Wei Qing came back to his senses, his eyes determined, "Your Majesty, rest assured. As long as Wei Qing lives, I will go through fire and water for the Han Dynasty!"

Liu Che was speechless and immediately went to pull Huo Qubing, "You two, nothing can happen to you. If something happens to you, what will I do?"

The king and his two ministers were all sad, but the ministers below showed joy in their eyes when they heard the news of Wei Qing's death.

harem.

Wei Zifu's body softened and tears welled up in her eyes.

How could she accept the fact that her son's fate was not yet clear when she heard the bad news about her brother?

Emperor Wu of Han rarely met his son and Concubine Wei Zifu. One day, Liu Ju went to see his mother and stayed in the palace for a long time before coming out. So the eunuch Su Wen told Emperor Wu of Han that Liu Ju had molested the palace maids. Liu Che then married off 200 of Liu Ju's maids to the emperor. When Liu Ju found out, he naturally bore a grudge against Su Wen.

This was not the first time that Su Wen had done this. He had been secretly investigating Liu Ju's faults with the eunuchs Chang Rong, Wang Bi and others, and then reported them to Liu Che with exaggeration. Wei Zifu was of course not satisfied, so she asked Liu Ju to find a chance to tell Liu Che to kill these people, but Liu Ju trusted his father very much and felt that he had nothing to fear if he was innocent. Liu Che would definitely not believe it.

But one time, Liu Che was not feeling well and asked Chang Rong to find Liu Ju. When Chang Rong came back, he told Liu Che that the prince had a happy look on his face. Liu Che felt a little uncomfortable. When Liu Ju came, he observed Chang Rong's words and expressions and found that there were traces of tears on his face and he was forcing a smile. He found it very strange. After a careful investigation, he discovered the truth and executed Chang Rong.

Wei Zifu herself was also very careful and tried hard to avoid suspicion, but Wei Qing was gone and she did not have the support of a strong maternal family. In addition, Huo Qubing also passed away in 117 BC. It can be said that Wei Zifu and Liu Ju had lost all support. Naturally, the life of the mother and son was not as good as when Wei Qing and Huo Qubing were still alive.

However, the conspiracy against Liu Ju has never ceased."
