Chapter 514 Shocking Changes!
Above the palace hall.
Liu He stood in the hall with a rebellious look on his face.
Facing the certainty of death, as he always did.
His whole body was like a sharp sword that had been tempered a thousand times. All his unwillingness and anger were melted into his words, transforming into unparalleled sword energy, stabbing straight at his father, the emperor who sat on the supreme throne in the world!
Is it so easy to be a Holy King?
The Holy King who is always looking ahead and behind is even going to use the future to kill me now. The rebellion of the princes in Guandong has scared you out of your wits, and the thousand-year-old Luo family has made you hesitate.
Come on, get started.
Kill your own son here to pave the final path for your ridiculous path to becoming a holy king.
This is Liu He’s deepest thought.
An emperor actually did not have the ambition to be the only one in power, which made Liu He very disappointed in his father.
"Evil son!"
A sound like the roar of thunder came from above the hall, shaking the place inexplicably.
Since Liu He came to the palace, Liu Xun made such an angry voice for the first time, "Since you were young, I have taught you to have awe for the heavens and the earth.
You are not the King of Su, and you are delusionally thinking that you can replace the hearts of millions of people with your own heart. Destruction will be your only end.
He is so arrogant before he even ascends the throne. Is he worthy of being entrusted with the country?
You haven't shown any repentance until now. My disappointment in you has reached an unbearable level.
There are gods above your head. The King of Heaven is above the sky watching over the human world. How dare you represent God's will with your own heart?
well.
You don't know the foundation of the Han Dynasty's existence, and you don't have the slightest respect for the people of the world.
Having his eyes high up, only looking up and ignoring what is under his feet, this is not the talent and virtue that an emperor should have.
I am increasingly grateful.
Fortunately, I have another son who gives me a choice.
Now that the country is in your hands, I can't imagine what you will do!
Someone come!
Take the prince away!"
Liu Xun's voice changed from rage to lamentation and finally to despair. He no longer wanted to say anything to his prince.
The palace guards outside the hall walked in immediately. All the guards were wearing armor and had swords at their waists. Their leather boots made noises as they walked in the hall.
A cold and solemn atmosphere spread to the hall along with these soldiers.
Liu He's face was full of dissatisfaction and his eyes were red. Facing Liu Xun's expulsion, he did not refute.
People with different ideas cannot work together!
Liu Xun believed that the emperor was not the supreme ruler of the world. He believed that the emperor was the supreme ruler of the world. Even if compromise was necessary, it did not mean that the emperor was inferior to his subjects.
All things in the world come from above!
He knelt on the ground again and kowtowed three times. His forehead was red and even had a little blood on it. Then he shook off the guard's hand that was holding his shoulder. The prince's robe and crown were a little scattered.
Liu He took one last look at Liu Xun and Xu Pingjun, and shouted, "Don't bother, this is my home, I know the way!
I am waiting in the Crown Prince's Palace for the imperial decree of death from His Majesty the Emperor and His Majesty the Empress, and for the white silk and poisoned wine."
After saying that, he turned around and left without looking back, his clothes scattered and looking a little disheveled.
The guards were quite embarrassed, but they didn't dare show it at all. They returned to stand guard outside the palace, as if they hadn't heard or seen anything.
Xu Pingjun looked at Liu He's resolute figure, and thought that her son had broken off to such an extent. She was so agitated that she immediately spat out a mouthful of blood and cried, "I have never made any mistakes in my teaching since childhood. How could it come to this!"
Xu Pingjun probably didn't know that an academic genius like Liu He was able to apply what he had learned to other areas, and that it was not something that ordinary people could do to learn Confucianism to its opposite end.
Liu Xun supported Xu Pingjun's body and looked at the spots of blood at the corners of Xu Pingjun's mouth. He felt as if his heart was being cut by a knife. Liu He's words had touched him so much, especially the last sentence.
Liu He no longer called himself "son" but "minister", and used the extremely unfamiliar title "Your Majesty the Emperor and Your Majesty the Empress" instead of "Father and Mother", which deeply hurt Xu Pingjun and Liu Xun's hearts.
In this era when parents love their children and children are filial to their parents, it is truly a scandal that the royal family has reached such a state.
Thinking about the words of that wicked son Liu He, and then looking at his wife, Liu Xun felt that he was having difficulty breathing, and his vision was getting darker. He and Xu Pingjun snuggled up to each other, and only then did they feel a little better.
…
Liu He left the palace and looked at the towering palaces with a fierce look in his eyes. He once thought that he would become the master of this palace and rule the entire empire from here, but now it seems like nothing more than a joke.
Just now in the palace, he did have the urge to commit suicide, but now that he was out of the palace, he couldn't just sit there and wait to die. Waiting for death in silence in the Prince's Palace was not his style.
He wants to rebel!
His father did have a very high prestige, and his rebellion had almost no chance of success, but so what?
Rebellion is not about killing people without any purpose. The key lies in the word "rebellion". All rebellions are about risking a small amount for a big gain. One must achieve one's goal quickly, accurately and ruthlessly!
After returning to the Prince's Palace, he did not waste any time and quickly assembled his subordinates and death warriors who were absolutely loyal to him.
As the crown prince for more than ten years, Liu He still has this bit of family wealth, not to mention the army that the Crown Prince's Palace already has.
"rebel?"
Liu He glared at him and said, "What rebellion?
Our Han dynasty rules the world with filial piety, and I am a filial son. How could I possibly plot against my own father?
Besides, do you think you can keep the throne you seized through rebellion?
The princes of the world are waiting for me to rebel so that they can put down the rebellion!
You think I'm that stupid?
My father and mother were deceived and held hostage by treacherous ministers, so they issued the order. Our ultimate target is only one, and that is Liu She!
I ask you guys to just not read more books on a daily basis.
Aren’t you aware of the bloody events that took place during the reign of King Yi of Zhou?
King Xi of Zhou killed all his brothers and close relatives, leaving the Luo family helpless. Now we will follow the example of King Xi of Zhou and protect my father and mother from being provoked by treacherous ministers."
Liu He’s target of rebellion could never be Liu Xun.
If a son kills his father, all the people in the world will rise up against him.
He has only one target, and that is Liu She!
The only prince who is qualified to compete with him for the throne.
As long as he could kill Liu She quickly, accurately and ruthlessly, the queen mother, whose child had already died, would definitely protect him.
His position as the crown prince is still as stable as a rock, and it is already difficult for his mother to give birth to another child safely, so there is no need to worry about something like Liu She happening again.
But after hearing Liu He's words, except for the death warriors, everyone else was still shaking with fear. It was indeed different for Liu He, but for them, this was just a rebellion. What if they failed?
"If you don't resist, you will die. If you resist, you will also die. It's the same death. Are we just going to sit there and wait for death?
Do you still have the thought of being killed and your family members exiled?
This is something I cannot understand.
The exiles had to walk thousands of miles, and even many men died on the way. What would those treacherous and evil clerks do to the wives and daughters of us, the powerful and wealthy?
Have you forgotten the exile case involving more than 3,000 noble women ten years ago?
Don't you understand?
Or are you just hoping for luck?
Exile is a more unacceptable punishment than death.
I think it would be better to just die, at least it would avoid all the suffering and humiliation.
A gentleman can be killed but not humiliated! "
Liu He was a master storyteller. With just a few simple words, he extinguished the last glimmer of hope in everyone's hearts and plunged them into even greater panic. Fear is the only way to maintain rule.
"Your Highness, please give the order. We are willing to follow you."
No one could have imagined that Liu He was ready to take such extreme action and dared to draw his sword fearlessly in the face of a supreme emperor.
It is not easy for ordinary people to complete a palace coup, especially when facing a powerful emperor like Liu Xun. But Liu He is different. He has been the crown prince for too long and has been tirelessly developing his own power.
From the time Liu Xun started to prepare to depose the crown prince, the time was really too short.
In order to appease the restless people, Liu Xun had not yet started to make large-scale personnel adjustments, which gave Liu He an opportunity.
Liu He quickly gathered a group of minions and began to prepare to find the right time. The emperor could not stay in Changle Palace all year round. The royal family had a lot of fun and hunting trips and other palaces, so the emperor would travel from time to time.
Liu He concluded that after he said that in the palace, he would be safe in the short term. His father was a man who planned before making decisions. He would first dismember his peripheral forces step by step, so that the people around him would automatically stay away from him. Finally, he would make the final decision to depose his position as crown prince without causing any waves.
…
In the palace, Xu Pingjun fainted due to excessive grief. The imperial physician led a large team of doctors to diagnose her. In the end, they concluded that she was too sad and just needed to rest.
Liu Xun looked at his unconscious wife. All the anger, sadness, and heartache in his mind kept stirring in his internal organs, tormenting him all the time, and his eyes went dark.
"ah!"
A scream that pierced the palace suddenly rang out. It was a beautiful palace maid. Everyone was startled by the scream and immediately looked over there. Then screams rang out one after another.
"His Majesty!"
I don’t know how many people rushed over and surrounded Liu Xun.
He actually fainted!
Not only the imperial physician, but everyone's face turned pale, and an ominous premonition filled everyone's heart!
The emperor of the Han Dynasty actually fainted.
Your Majesty, the mountain is about to collapse!
This incident flashed through everyone's mind instantly.
Then, the world?
————
The twentieth year of Yuanfeng.
In October, the Emperor summoned the Crown Prince to meet him. The Crown Prince was rebellious, and the Empress cried and fainted. The Emperor was also sad and said, "A rebellious son cannot be entrusted with the responsibility of governing the country." - "Book of Han·Biography of Emperor Xiaoxuan"
