Chapter 54: The Disaster of Witchcraft



Liu Ju, not knowing whether Liu Che was still alive, raised an army.

However, the number of carriages and horses under the crown prince's control was limited. Therefore, when Crown Prince Liu Ju started his rebellion, he went to the palace to see his mother, Wei Zifu. After obtaining Wei Zifu's support, he mobilized weapons and the guards of Changle Palace, and reported to all officials that Jiang Chong was plotting a rebellion. Liu Ju personally supervised the execution of Jiang Chong and burned to death many Hu wizards.

After Su Wen escaped from Chang'an, he went to Ganquan Palace to see Emperor Wu of Han. After telling Liu Che, Liu Che said that this happened because the prince was afraid and hated Jiang Chong and others, so he sent an envoy to find the prince.

But! Here comes the point. This envoy was afraid. He didn't even enter the city. He wandered around outside and came back to tell Liu Che that the prince was plotting a rebellion and wanted to kill him. Liu Che was furious and really believed that Liu Ju had rebelled.

When Liu Ju was about to take action against him, the left prime minister Liu Qumao escaped and went to Liu Che, and finally received an imperial edict from Liu Che to hunt down the rebels. At this time, Liu Ju was just like Fusu in the past, holding an edict that was not sure whether it was true or not, but was unfavorable to him. No matter what happened in the middle, the result was that Fusu committed suicide, and Liu Ju continued to raise an army. However, his opponent was an emperor with an iron fist, and Liu Ju was defeated without surprise.

After Liu Ju was defeated, he fled out of the city. All his followers were executed, and those who joined him in the rebellion were exterminated for treason. Liu Ju fled eastward to Hu County, where he settled down in a farmer's family. On weekdays, it was that family who wove and sold straw sandals to support Liu Ju and his family.

Later, Liu Ju heard that an old friend who was a wealthy businessman lived in Hu County, so he sent someone to look for him, but the news soon leaked, exposing his whereabouts.

On the 11th day of the eighth month, local officials began to round up Liu Ju. Liu Ju committed suicide, and the two imperial grandsons who had fled with him were also killed. The host family who had taken Liu Ju in died in the fighting. Furthermore, after Liu Ju's defeat, his wife and children were killed. Only Liu Xun, who later became Emperor Xuan of the Eastern Han Dynasty, remained in Liu Ju's lineage.

Qin

In the Xianyang Palace, the more everyone listened, the more silent they became.

This big man's situation is similar to their situation at that time.

Ying Zheng became increasingly upset.

This method of being summoned by others obviously has major flaws. How can we reduce or eliminate these flaws?

Unlike Ying Zheng, Liu Che could not think of anything else now. His mind was full of the death of his prince. He and the prince were played around like fools by the people below. It was obviously a very simple issue, but in the end it developed into a situation that no one could save.
