Chapter 53 The Second Promise



Chinese

Liu Che, Wei Qing and Huo Qubing were all angry at the same time.

"Su Wen, Chang Rong, Wang Bi... Come, I will execute these people immediately!"

Wei Qing said, "Your Majesty, executing them directly would be too merciful. It would be better to investigate them thoroughly. I think they are not very clean in private. After finding out, we can torture them slowly and then execute them in the end."

Huo Qubing followed up, "Your Majesty, I think so too. Only by torturing them and then executing them can we appease the hatred in our hearts."

The uncle and nephew looked at each other and understood the hatred in each other's eyes.

Liu Che naturally would not let his two generals feel disappointed, so he said quietly, "Then bring them here. I will find out what they did in private. Anyone who dares to conceal anything will be torn to pieces by chariots."

He would not let them die easily.

But Zhou Jia's last words almost made him faint, and his title of champion... was gone.

"Get rid of the disease!"

Liu Che and Wei Qing looked at Huo Qubing in shock at the same time. Huo Qubing was still staring at Zhou Jia in confusion. 117 BC?

He calculated according to the Gregorian calendar provided by Zhou Jia and his face turned pale.

"I... 24?"

how so!

When Huo Qubing murmured, Liu Che and Wei Qing realized something.

This guy was only 24 when he died!

Liu Che was completely panicked, "Come here, come here, get those doctors to come over here!"

How come Huo Qubing died at the age of 24?

"Go away, are you feeling unwell?"

"Are you feeling unwell?"

Liu Che and Wei Qing spoke at the same time, but in addition to asking about Huo Qubing, Liu Che also asked about the cause of Huo Qubing's death in his comments.

It's abnormal, very abnormal.

"The cause of Huo Qubing's death is not fixed. We have several theories, which I will discuss in detail later."

Zhou Jia watched the playback of her previous live broadcast. She was a person who was easily led astray by others. Under their influence, her live broadcast sometimes went too far off topic. She swore that she would never go off topic again in the future, and even if she did, she would not go too far off topic!

"Liu Che had a favored minister named Jiang Chong. He was highly valued by Liu Che because he was 'not afraid of the powerful'. Once, Liu Ju sent someone to Ganquan Palace to pay a visit to Liu Che. The messenger was riding in a carriage on the highway and happened to be met by Jiang Chong.

Let me explain here that the Chidao was the emperor's royal passage and could not be used by ministers and officials without permission, so Jiang Chong detained Liu Ju's envoy.

After Liu Ju got the news, he sent someone to apologize to Jiang Chong, saying that he had not disciplined his child strictly enough and hoped that he would forgive him. Jiang Chong did not listen and still told Liu Che. Liu Che felt that Jiang Chong's approach was not wrong, so he trusted him more in the future. It was also because of this incident that Liu Ju and Jiang Chong had a rift, which laid the seeds of disaster.

Here's a piece of advice. You people in high positions of power should better manage your people well on a daily basis. Once your people break the rules and say or do the wrong things, your enemies will blame you for everything they did. After all, you are their boss, so who else can they blame but you, right?

Another thing is that Liu Ju had a cousin named Gongsun Jingsheng, who was the son of his aunt Wei Junru and Prime Minister Gongsun He.

Gongsun Jingsheng was the son of Empress Wei Zifu's sister, so he was arrogant and lawless. He also held a high position and used 19 million coins of the Northern Army's military pay without authorization. Later, the matter was exposed and he was imprisoned. Since Zhu Anshi and others had not been arrested and imprisoned at that time, Gongsun He asked for this mission to atone for Gongsun Jingsheng's sins.

Liu Che agreed. Later, Zhu Anshi was arrested. While in prison, the Secretary of State falsely accused Gongsun Jingsheng of having an affair with Princess Yangshi and of practicing witchcraft to curse the emperor.

In the second month of the Zhenghe era, Gongsun He was arrested and charged with numerous crimes, including disregard for the lives of the people. He and his son died in prison. Finally, Liu Ju no longer had any outside family to protect him at court. Let's not discuss anything else for now. Let me first ask, everyone, do you know what military pay means?

Zhou Jia took a sip of water and looked at the screen expressionlessly.

I'm very angry and need to calm down.

The people Zhou Jia respected most in his life were soldiers. Similarly, the people he hated most were those who let down the soldiers. Whether it was the generals fighting outside, the emperor who held them back, or those who withheld military pay, to Zhou Jia, these people meant death.

If she wasn't short enough, she would definitely have joined the army after the college entrance examination.

I don’t know what the people from Wan Chao are doing, no one is talking.

Zhou Jia was very calm. "Speak up, everyone. Emperors, royal relatives, ministers, everyone knows what this thing means."

Feeling aggrieved, Liu Ju said: [Military pay is the salary given by the court to the soldiers.]

Zhou Jia nodded, obviously not as active as before.

"Yes, in your time, military pay was used to meet their daily needs and combat needs. So, Liu Ju, as the future crown prince of the Han Dynasty, you understand its importance."

She no longer wanted to know what was going on with him feeling wronged.

Feeling aggrieved, Liu Ju: [Of course I know.]

"Now that I've revealed that your cousin embezzled military funds, will you punish him according to the law? Or will you plead for him? Kindly note: the system has a lie detector function."

Liu Che and the court officials also looked at Liu Ju.

Liu Ju lowered his eyes.

After all, he was his cousin, so he naturally wanted to protect him, but he did embezzle military pay and broke the law, and it was Zhou Jia who pointed this out.

Qin

Ying Zheng listened to Zhou Jia's question, still without looking up at the screen, and said, "Check."
