Liu Tan's confession caught Liu Ju a little off guard. Let alone him, Liu Che wondered if there was something wrong with his ears and he misheard. He asked suspiciously, "What did you say?"

Liu Tan took the urn from Miao Rui, handed it forward and said, "It's all here."

Liu Che looked at the pot and realized what Liu Tan said. Immediately, his eyes widened, he stood up abruptly and said, "You are so bold!"

Liu Tan looked at Liu Che and originally wanted to say that Li Guangli's crime fell into the hands of Ting Wei's gang of cruel officials, and he would abandon the market, but now there are still some ashes left, and he has already given face.

But Liu Ju, who was next to him, looked at him with frightened eyes, so he had no choice but to restrain the thorns on his body and said, "Because the weather along the way is hot and difficult to transport, and the corpse was already rotten before departure, so I had no choice but to make this decision."

Liu Che's chest was heaving, but at this moment he was so angry that he could only say Liu Tan: "He died in an accident and you still humiliate him like this, you..."

Liu Tan put the urn on the ground and was about to say something when Liu Ju, who was on the side, couldn't take it any longer. He walked over and covered Liu Tan's mouth, turned his head and said, "Father, the fifth younger brother already knew he was wrong, fifth younger brother There is no way, the Western Regions are barren and there is no ice cellar, otherwise General Li will have to be buried on the spot, if so, General Li will not be able to return to his homeland."

Liu Tan didn't struggle either, just looked at Liu Che quietly, he had never seen Liu Che become so angry before, it was quite fresh.

But what's even more fresh is that he doesn't seem to care at all, and this trip to the Western Regions seems to have emboldened him a bit.

Unknowingly, Liu Che recited in his heart hundreds of times before he could make a move, and finally flicked his sleeves: "Go and think about your mistakes behind closed doors!"

Liu Tan didn't speak, but Liu Ju asked, "Father, how long?"

Liu Che said without turning his head while walking, "You are not allowed to come out without my permission!"

Liu Ju: ...

He didn't let go of his hands until Liu Che left, looked at Liu Tan and said, "You..."

Before he could say anything, Liu Tan said, "Say it sooner or later, but the result will not change anyway, how can it be different?"

Liu Ju sized him up several times, and finally couldn't help but say, "How did Li Guangli recruit you?"

He was puzzled. From the information he knew, Li Guangli was put down by Liu Tan when he got there. He didn't have much interaction with Liu Tan until his death. What did Li Guangli do?

Liu Tan didn't speak, his anger and Liu Zheng couldn't understand, so he just said: "It's nothing, the superior was at that time, but the matter was irreversible, and there was nothing we could do about it, hey, His Royal Highness was also tired all day, I Don't bother me, I'm going to see the queen mother."

Anyway, his Suiyu Palace and Jiaofang Palace were on the same line, so he was on the way, so it can't be said that he resisted the decree, right?

Liu Ju looked at Liu Tan's back tiredly, still thinking about how to make his father less angry.

At this time, Liu Che was getting more and more angry, and even wondered if Liu Tan had been tampered with in the Western Regions. Otherwise, why did he look so strange?

After thinking about it, Liu Che turned his head and said, "Call Jiang Chong."

If you want to ask clearly, you can only start with Jiang Chong. After all, Li Guangli fled in a hurry because Jiang Chong wanted to arrest him, and why did Jiang Chong do this?

This time Jiang Chong saw that Liu Che didn't wear that outfit again, but was honestly wearing an official uniform.

After taking a trip to the Western Regions, he looked much more capable than before. In addition, Jiang Chong's appearance was actually good. Liu Che had a good impression of him, and he didn't go around the bush. After Jiang Chong saluted, he asked, "Fifth Prince Burning Li Guangli's body, why didn't you stop him?"

Jiang Chong was stunned for a moment, and blurted out: "Did Your Highness not tell His Majesty?"

Upon hearing this, Liu Che asked, "Why? Is there something hidden in this?"

Jiang Chong said with some hesitation: "Your Highness doesn't say anything, obviously there are His Highness's concerns, Your Majesty..."

Liu Che was a little displeased: "Say!"

Jiang Chong knelt down, gritted his teeth and said, "Your Highness did this because... because...then Li Guangli set up a witch to murder His Highness, if His Highness hadn't noticed it, I'm afraid he would have swallowed the Gu."

Liu Che was startled, and immediately stood up: "Is this true?"

Jiang Chong immediately said: "At that time, Your Highness once ordered the ministers to keep quiet and burn all the paper puppets. Your Majesty also knew that the ministers had heard a lot about this way. He was worried that it was not Li Guangli's business alone, so he left some things. If Your Majesty If you don’t believe it, you can show it to His Majesty!”

Liu Che's face was gloomy and he said immediately: "Bring it!"

Jiang Chong immediately asked people to bring up the things, and he wrapped them in a cloth bag. When they were scattered, there were still some grains of sand in the cracks of the puppet. It seemed that the puppet was buried in the ground. passed.

The more Liu Che looked, the more gloomy his face became. He suddenly raised his head to look at Jiang Chong and asked, "How did you find out about this?"

He still doesn't quite believe that Li Guangli would do such a thing. According to the laws of the Han Dynasty, even ordinary people who dare to touch witchcraft will be sentenced to death and the whole family will be exiled for three thousand miles. It can be said that this punishment is very heavy.

Li Guangli is also considered a clever man, how could he touch the art of witchcraft?

Jiang Chong said: "These things were all found in the mansion of His Highness's newly built city. At that time, His Highness was going out to attack Jieguo. Some of the servants in the mansion were old and disabled soldiers taken in by His Highness. These people are more alert than ordinary people. There were strange faces among them who followed the craftsmen to enter, so they paid attention to it, and then one night, they found that someone had entered and exited His Highness’s bedroom, and when they entered, they saw traces of the soil being turned, so they found it.”

Seeing Liu Che frowning after Jiang Chong finished speaking, he said again: "Your Majesty also knows that I have visited the door to inquire about crimes. If it is just greed, why should Li Guangli flee in panic?"

Liu Che looked up at him, his eyes were as sharp as an eagle's and asked slowly: "You mean, you came to ask him for his witchcraft?"

Jiang Chong said in a deep voice: "Yes, this matter is of great importance, and I cannot let it go. What he wants to hurt is the prince, and he even wants to implicate the queen."

That's enough, Liu Che's motive for being suspicious is also there.

In just a moment, Liu Che can make up a complete possibility. Liu Tan was defeated and died in the conscription, and Chen Ajiao would have no way out. When Liu Che was abolished, it would be much smoother.

Liu Che's desire to abolish the empress is known to almost all civil and military officials in the court, let alone Mrs. Li.

Before Mrs. Li was drowned, she was considered to be the most popular woman in the harem. Mrs. Gouyi had been neglected for many days because of Princess Danyang, and even Liu Fuling was not so popular anymore, and there was even faint rumors about the emperor. If you want to give Liu Fuling land, let him be a feudal lord.

It is not impossible to say that Mrs. Li has Xiao's desire to be a successor. She also has a son, and her son is the best among all Liu Che's sons except for the two fiefs that have not been canonized - Changyi King Liu Wei.

It can be said that her son was driven away by Huo Qubing at the beginning. Now that Huo Qubing has passed away for many years, why can't he be called back to be the prince?

Liu Che waved his hand to ask people to take all these things away, looked at Jiang Chong coldly and asked, "The fifth prince wants to hide this matter?"

Jiang Chong immediately said: "Yes, Your Highness said that the disaster of witchcraft will affect the family. It is not a pity for Li Guangli to die, but Mrs. Li has served His Majesty for many years and has always been cautious in her words and deeds. She should not do such a rebellious thing. If it is publicized, I am afraid that the entire family of the Li family will be questioned, not only will His Majesty lose face, but even Changyi King Liu Mao will be implicated."

Liu Che didn't say a word, this matter...it was indeed something that Liu Tan could do, and his son would always soften his heart in some inexplicable places.

It's just this matter... Liu Che still has some doubts, because the embroidered clothes emissary didn't find out about it from the beginning to the end, and he can only trust half of what Jiang Chong said.

Liu Che knocked on the armrest of the throne and asked, "How many people still know about this matter?"

Jiang Chong immediately said: "Everyone who knows has been silenced, and the rest is Captain Huo."

Huo Guang?The balance in Liu Che's heart was slightly tilted, he closed his eyes and waved his hand in a despondent way: "Go down."

Jiang Chong didn't quite understand what Liu Che was thinking, but he didn't dare to say more, so he bowed his head and retreated.

After he went down, Liu Che asked the embroidered clothes envoys to come over and ask again, but the embroidered clothes envoys didn't find out, but Li Guangli really arranged for people to join the artisan team and went to Liu Tan's mansion. As for the other things... Li Guangli did it secretly. There are too many, but the embroidered clothes messenger only thought that he was hiding gold, how could he think that it was related to witchcraft?

Liu Che was even more suspicious. If it wasn't getting late, he might have brought Huo Guang over to ask questions.

And the next day was the court meeting. Liu Che found that his foot ban was basically useless to Liu Tan. Today's court meeting was to formally reward meritorious service. How could Liu Tan not come as the main general?

When Liu Che thought of Liu Tan's expression of indifference when he heard the grounding, he suddenly felt a toothache, and suspected that the little bastard had thought of this a long time ago.

To be honest, he really misunderstood Liu Tan, and Liu Tan didn't want to participate at all.

He has a problem, his body will automatically adjust when he goes out, and he looks alive and kicking, but in fact all the problems are suppressed, and when he returns home and relaxes, he will start to enter a sub-health state.

It's just that it's good to be listless, and sometimes even have a fever.

No, he felt that his head was not clear when he came together the next day, but he didn't feel that bad, and he should still be able to participate in the Great Court Meeting.

In any case, he has to go out to support the scene. The news of Chen Ajiao's grounding should have spread throughout the imperial city. If Liu Tan doesn't go out again, there may be many people who will attack the queen. Well, to be clear, it is Mrs. Gouyi and Liu Flynn wasn't sure what to do again.

Anyway, he can just be a background board at the Great Court Meeting, and there is no need to say anything.

Liu Ju saw that something was wrong with Liu Tan's complexion early in the morning. His face was pale and his lips were dry. He worried and asked in a low voice, "Are you sick?"

Liu Tan just said casually: "It's okay, I haven't had a good rest."

According to Liu's understanding, it's normal for Liu Tan not to sleep well after so many things happened.

After the process of conferring rewards, the Great Court Meeting was almost coming to an end. At this time, the Shaofu suddenly stood up and asked, "Your Majesty, I heard that Mrs. Li's tomb has been set in the northwest of the auspicious place. This is the auspicious place for the empress. It is unreasonable. Please be careful, Your Majesty."

After Liu Tan heard this sentence, he turned his head twice before he understood what the other party said, and he was suddenly furious.

In history, Mrs. Li's tomb was indeed buried in the queen's place, and Mrs. Li's tomb is also the largest among the accompanying tombs.

But why?Because Chen Ajiao was abolished and Wei Zifu committed suicide, she was posthumously named Empress Xiaowu to get this treatment.

Why is she now?Chen Ajiao is still alive, her grandson has not become emperor, and Liu Che is still alive, and she has not been made queen.

Did Liu Che give this order to slap Chen Ajiao in the face?

When people are sick, their control over their emotions will be weakened. At this moment, Liu Tan is like this. At that moment, his head really buzzed, and he couldn't sit still, but he still wanted to stand up and say something. Instead, he choked on his saliva because he was too excited.

Liu Ju who was on the side hurriedly asked someone to bring him a glass of water. When Liu Tan took the drink, he knocked his lips hard again, and turned his head to spit out a mouthful of blood-colored water.

Liu Ju's eyes were straight at the time, and he couldn't help standing up and supporting him: "Fifth brother!"

Jiang Chong's eyes were sharp, and he saw the almost negligible blood color at a glance, and immediately exclaimed: "Your Highness? Why did Your Highness vomit blood?"

Liu Tan felt a little bad when he heard this sound. He just wanted to say that it was all a misunderstanding, but when he stood up he exerted too much force and he was already sick. His eyes went dark for a moment and he fell straight down.

Liu Ju's soul was about to be frightened for a moment by his side.

At this time, Liu Che's mind flashed Jiang Chong's words: Li Guangli set up a witchcraft to murder His Highness.
