Liu Tan didn't know what to do with the two little men for a moment. It was not until this time that he realized that even if he didn't believe in it himself, he was still quite taboo about it when it came to the people he cared about.
He originally thought that the King of Yan was coming for him, so he wouldn't take it to heart even if the two villains wrote his birthday.
Even though he didn't know why Liu Dan wanted to kill him, he didn't have to ask for an explanation. Anyway, Liu Che was going to depose Liu Dan from the throne, and Liu Dan would probably not be much better off in Chang'an. Thinking of this, he was not so angry.
Someone is standing up for him, why is he still angry?
But he never expected that Liu Dan would be so mad as to curse even Emperor Wu of Han. What good would Liu Dan do to him if Emperor Wu of Han died? With Prince Jian still alive, his power in Yan was limited, and the Yan army probably wouldn't march into Chang'an to dethrone the prince. Why would he do this?
Unexpectedly, Liu Che was right. The Prince of Yan was such an unfilial man.
Liu Tan now wished he could just go find Liu Dan and stab him.
Liu Tan was holding the two wooden figures in his hands. He was so angry that he could not hold back his strength with his fingers. No one present spoke for a while.
After his initial anger, Liu Che had calmed down. He had already thought of this result, so although he was angry, he was only hiding his anger. He had already started thinking about how to clean up the State of Yan.
So at this moment it was as if he and Liu Tan had switched places. Liu Tan was almost mad to the point of twisting into a shapeless form, while Liu Che seemed very calm.
Liu Che looked at Liu Tan's rare ferocious expression, and suddenly realized that Liu Tan looked so calm just now because he thought that King Yan Liu Dan just wanted him dead?
Now that you know Liu Dan even cursed his own father, are you angry?
Although Liu Che was still angry, he felt a subtle sense of relief. He asked, "What do you want to do now?"
Seeing that Liu Tan was about to be mad at him, he decided to give his son some autonomy.
Liu Tan placed the two villains back on Liu Che's desk and said coldly, "Killing them directly would be too easy for him."
Liu Che was not angry after hearing this, and coaxed him, "Yes, so what do you want to do with him, Tan'er?"
After hearing this, Liu Tan was stunned for a moment, turned to look at Liu Che, and tried to think for a long time, his face turned red, but he couldn't think of a better way to deal with it.
Killing Liu Dan directly feels too easy for him. Isn't it said that suffering while alive is the most painful thing?
But Liu Tan couldn't think of what kind of punishment would make Liu Dan suffer while alive.
Seeing that he was thinking so hard that his brows were furrowed but he still couldn't come up with a solution, Liu Che couldn't help but laugh. Lu Xuan on the other side couldn't help but laugh out loud either.
Liu Tan looked at Lu Xuan with dissatisfaction. Lu Xuan simply said, "Let Your Majesty handle this matter. Don't make things difficult for yourself."
There might be nothing wrong with letting Liu Tan take revenge, but asking him to find ways to torture others would be too difficult for him.
Liu Che patted Liu Tan's shoulder and said, "Don't worry about this matter."
At this point, Liu Tan had nothing to worry about. He was just a little puzzled: "What's wrong with the King of Yan? No, we have to find the person who buried the things."
He was even angrier at this point. Someone had actually taken advantage of him and buried something in his palace and Liu Che's temporary palace. How could he put his face down? He had been fuming for so long, and his own men hadn't been able to take care of him. He was so angry!
Liu Che didn't think there was anything wrong. He had been the emperor for so many years and the palace was under his control. When the witchcraft case broke out, didn't he investigate a lot of people?
Which years did Liu talk about the Northern Border Kingdom? Not to mention that the Northern Border Kingdom is too close to the Xiongnu and is a mixed bag.
They could indeed remain vigilant against the Huns, and there were no Huns serving in the palace. Although it was not fair, most of the jobs the Huns could do were relatively menial. Even if they were successful in business, the status of merchants was the lowest.
Moreover, apart from having people maintain the Changshou Palace on a regular basis, Liu Tan did not interfere much in the affairs of the Changshou Palace, so it cannot be considered that he was derelict in his duty.
Liu Che was originally so angry with Liu Dan that his hands were shaking with anger, but at this moment, seeing Liu Tan's puffed cheeks, the anger in his heart was calmed down a lot.
It is impossible to disappear completely. No emperor or father can tolerate such disobedience.
He reached out and pinched his son's cheek and said, "That rebellious son has taught you a lesson. You are too lenient."
In the past, Liu Che was always dissatisfied with Liu Ju's kindness, but he didn't expect that Liu Tan was even better than Liu Ju. He was very kind to everyone, but in this world, it is not the case that if you are kind to people, they will be grateful and treat you well.
Liu Tan responded sullenly and decided to do a thorough cleaning when he got back.
He knew that Liu Che was giving him face by not speaking directly. After the witchcraft incident, except for the important palace servants, the rest who were even slightly involved would rather be killed than let go. A group of people were directly replaced in the Weiyang Palace, not to mention the outsiders.
There is not much turmoil at the top level, but if a middle-level official or below dies, it will cause a lot of unrest, and nine people will be implicated.
Now that Liu Che has not ordered a bloodbath in the northern royal palace, he can handle it himself.
Not long after, more news came. There was no other place to hide things in the Northern Palace except Liu Tan's bedroom. Although only the Yanshou Hall in the Changshou Palace had things dug out, there were actually some people holding witchcraft items in their hands and preparing to find time to bury them.
It is said that it should be done according to the day, with one buried every seven days.
Oh wow, there’s a recipe for this.
Liu Tan said with restrained anger: "The Changshou Palace may be a bit chaotic right now, so please stay with me for the next few days."
Compared to the Changshou Palace, the Northern Royal Palace is relatively safe.
Liu Che did not show it on his face, he just nodded and didn't say much. But when Liu Tan saw him holding Pingji's hand tightly, he knew that Liu Che was probably very angry.
After such a scene, people are exhausted both emotionally and physically.
Liu Tan turned around and told Miao Rui, "Go make me a bowl of calming soup."
After he finished speaking, he turned to Liu Che and said, "Father, drink your soup and go take a rest."
Liu Che glanced at him and said, "Make a bowl for the King of the Northern Territory as well."
When Liu Tan thought of that smell, he instantly became dispirited.
Liu Che patted his head and said, "Let's go."
Liu Tan glanced at Lu Xuan, who nodded at him. The two of them had reached an agreement: Lu Xuan would drink the bowl of tranquilizing soup for him later.
The main hall is no longer habitable. Although the things have been dug out, there is still some reluctance in the heart. Even if Liu Tan doesn't believe it, he has to ask someone to come and perform a ritual to drive away the evil spirits.
Fortunately, after Liu Che came, Liu Tan had people clean up the side hall, so that he would have a place to live when Liu Che came. Now the side hall has naturally been requisitioned.
After Liu Tan sent Liu Che back to the bedroom, he originally wanted to leave to let Liu Che rest, but Liu Che forced him to stay and watch him drink a bowl of calming soup.
Liu Tan, who didn't cry even after being cursed just now, was really about to cry this time because of the taste of the calming soup.
Seeing his wrinkled face, Liu Che couldn't help but smile and finally let his son go.
After Liu Tan left the bedroom, he whispered to Miao Rui, "Get me a small couch in the outer room. I'll rest here for the next two days."
Miao Rui was stunned for a moment, then immediately said, "Your Highness, the main hall at the back has been cleaned up. You..."
Liu Tan shook his head slightly: "I have to go here to ask Father for help."
Since the alchemists said that he had great luck, he would definitely not be affected by witchcraft. Nowadays, a person's strong luck can affect others, especially relatives, so he now has to act as the person who "exorcises" him.
Moreover, the back hall was originally prepared for the queen. Now Liu Che lives in the front hall, and it feels a bit weird for him to live in the back hall. So forget it.
So, when Liu Che woke up from his nap, he felt quite refreshed. He originally thought that he was not affected by witchcraft, but he did not expect that as soon as he walked out of the bedroom, he saw Liu Tan sleeping on the small couch with his legs spread out.
