Chapter 94 The Witch's Calamity
"how to say……"

The vendor scratched his head, thinking seriously about how he should continue talking next.

Jiang Xiaoli had some knowledge of the disaster caused by witchcraft, but he only knew that it was an unjust case.

What exactly it is, still has to be said by the street vendor.

So the vendor thought it over, and then continued: "The disaster of witchcraft is a big event that happened at the end of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty."

"The cause of the matter is that someone reported that Gongsun Jingsheng used witchcraft to curse Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, and also committed adultery with Princess Yangshi."

"This Gongsun Jingsheng is the son of Gongsun He, who was the prime minister at the time. After this incident was revealed by the defendant, the whole court was shocked!"

"For the time being, let's not care whether this Gongsun Jingsheng really used a gu to curse Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, or whether he committed adultery with Princess Yangshi."

"Because after the defendant reported this matter, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty acted very quickly, and sent Gongsun He, Gongsun Jingsheng and his son to prison without saying a word."

"Before the trial, he was executed the next day. Why?"

"Because on the second day, things have become bigger and bigger, so how big is it? It is said that the princess who is related to Princess Yangshi, and the son of the famous general Wei Qing, Changping Hou Weifu, are all involved with this The case is relevant."

"Let's not talk about the complicated relationship. In a word, they were all accused of being related to the witchcraft case."

"Naturally, after Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty heard about it, he was furious. He didn't investigate seriously, and directly ordered that anyone who has anything to do with Gongsun Jingsheng be executed!"

"When we got here, things got even worse," the vendor continued. "Afterwards, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty thought that the matter was not over yet, so he sent a favorite minister named Jiang Chong to continue the investigation."

"Who is this Jiang Chong? You will know later when we get to the back."

"It is said that Jiang Chong is investigating the case under the order, and it is very vigorous. He is investigating the case 24 hours a day, [-] hours."

"Jiang Chong didn't talk nonsense to those who were caught by him. After all, the workload is heavy. After a severe torture, they will get what they want to hear."

"Under this environment, any minister or civilian who has not participated in the witchcraft case will be beaten as long as he is caught by Jiang Chong if he is not given a few names!"

"So, some people, even those who were not involved in the witchcraft case, can also be said to be innocent, and they will randomly designate other people as criminals."

"As a result, there are tens of thousands of ministers and civilians killed by Jiang Chong. It can be called a bloody case."

"Later, Prince Liu Shi really couldn't stand it any longer, so he ran to Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty and told him, what kind of witchcraft is there? It's just an oolong!"

"But how could Emperor Wu of Han, who was burning with anger, listen to him? He even reprimanded Liu Ju."

"Say, you and I have been poisoned by those traitors who have evil intentions, but you are still here to defend them. I am really angry!"

"When Jiang Chong learned about this, he had an idea in his mind, what? That is, he was going to pour dirty water on Prince Liu Zhi!"

"Why? Because Liu Ju is the prince, Jiang Chong is the favorite of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, and Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty and Liu Ju have different political views. Do you think Jiang Chong and the prince can get together?"

"In other words, Jiang Chong and the prince did not deal with each other. There was a suspicion, so Jiang Chong went to Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty and told him that the prince Liu Shi was also one of the masterminds behind the witchcraft case!"

"In ancient times, what emperors feared most was that their sons would rebel and seize their position as emperor, right?"

"And at that time, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was furious because he had just had a quarrel with the crown prince Liu Ju, and he was on the verge of anger!"

"So he was furious, and immediately issued an order to arrest the prince immediately! Don't delay!"

"Then what happened afterwards? After Liu Ju knew the movement in the palace, he also quickly returned to his mansion. What is he going to do? Raise troops to kill Jiang Chong!"

"When Jiang Chong brought people to Liu Ju's mansion, he found something was wrong. He saw that the gate of Liu Ju's mansion was closed, and there seemed to be an ambush!"

"It was too late, but soon, Liu Zheng and his men rushed out of the house. Jiang Chong was so frightened that he turned his horse back and ran back to the palace to report to Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty that the prince had rebelled against him!"

"What was the reaction of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty at that time? In addition to shock, there was also anger. The prince actually rebelled? Isn't this against me?"

"So Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty quickly mobilized the imperial guards in the palace to hunt and kill Liu Ju. Liu Ju was defeated and fled. He hanged himself on a beam in Hu County, east of Chang'an."

After saying the last sentence, the vendor sighed, as if he was regretting something, was he regretting Prince Liu Shi?
Afterwards, the vendor continued to speak: "As soon as the news of Liu Ju's death came back to the palace, Empress Wei, who was Liu Ju's mother, also went with him."

"Pay attention, because of this incident, Liu Xun, the later Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty, also known as Liu Bingji, was exiled among the people because of this incident."

"What's going on specifically? Listen to me slowly."

In this case, the vendor continued: "After Liu Zhi committed suicide, his crime has been determined. What is it? Treason."

"Because there were too many people involved at that time, after Liu Zheng died, his family members were all imprisoned, and there was no time to interrogate them for the time being."

"Everyone, the crown prince's rebellion was considered a felony in ancient times!"

"Because the impact is too great. The prince is dead. How can this matter not be serious?"

"That's why Linghu Mao, Tian Qianqiu and others, the three elders of Huguan, wrote a letter to Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, saying that the death of the prince was really wronged!"

"Even Linghu Mao went directly to the palace to find Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, and explained his grievances to him, saying that Liu Juben is the crown prince, why did he rebel and seize the throne?"

"Furthermore, when the crown prince was wronged, it was Jiang Chong who rose up to kill him, and he had no intention of rebelling!"

"After listening, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty just woke up like a dream! At that time, he stamped his feet and beat his chest, and yelled at Jiang Chong, saying that he killed his son!"

"Immediately ordered Jiang Chong to be arrested and sentenced to death!"

"Then where was Jiang Chong at that time? He was in the cell, because he was going to attack Liu Xun, who was still very young at that time!"

"It was at this time that several soldiers rushed into the prison, arrested Jiang Chong without saying a word, and took him back to the palace."

"Later, Jiang Chong was sentenced to capital punishment by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, that is, the death penalty. However, Jiang Chong's death method is worth talking about. How did he die?"

"Five horses and quarters! That's right! Just like Shang Yang!"
