The Great Han Dynasty: From Feng Lang Juxu to the Eternal Emperor

Chapter 111
Weining wore the great cloak presented to him by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty and rode away from Lantian County on the back of General Red.

He hung the jade pendant around his neck again and thought about what Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty had just said.

Don't you really want to know who his father is?

Wei Ning was conflicted. Naturally, he didn't want to know, but his mother had been looking forward to seeing him for so many years and shed tears every night. Why didn't her mother not want to see him again?

If possible, I could take this father to worship my mother. I think my mother’s wish will be granted in heaven.

In the corner of Lantian Street, Wei Qing sat motionless on his horse, completely in a daze.

The scene between Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty and Wei Ning was all seen by Wei Qing.

Why?

Wei Qing couldn't understand that the emperor's behavior towards Wei Ning had completely transcended the relationship between monarch and ministers.

It was more like the care between relatives, and Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty even lowered his status to wear a cloak and tie for Weining.

An incredible thought suddenly lingered in Wei Qing's mind, which made Wei Qing shiver all over.

"impossible!"

Wei Qing quickly put this unrealistic idea behind him.

Then he went to the residence of Yingyin Hou Guanqiang.

Wei Qing is an upstart in the Han Dynasty, and the Wei family is now one of the first echelons of power in the Han Dynasty. Although the Marquis of Yingyin has worked hard for several generations to reach his current status, it is nothing in front of Wei Qing, a powerful military and industrial powerhouse like Wei Qing.

Wei Qing drank a bottle of wine with Guan Qiang expressionlessly. He did not express his intention, but said some profound words before leaving.

"Prince Wei is mine."

"Don't go beyond the rules. You won't die if you suffer a loss, but you may die if you cross the line."

Wei Qing left these confused words and left.

His threat sent a chill down Guan Qiang's spine.

If you suffer a loss, no one will die. In other words, if you suffer a little loss from Weining now, if you endure it, no one will die.

But if you dare to take revenge further, Wei Qing will find a way to kill you!

Wei Qing's threat is much more serious than that of Wei Ning. Many people in the Han court and even the army are direct descendants trained by Wei Qing.

Even Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was afraid of his authority, let alone you, the Marquis of Yingyin?

Your grandfather might still have some weight when he was alive, but in front of his great general, Great Sima, who were you?
When Wei Qing stomps his feet, the whole big man will tremble!

Guan Qiang was really scared. He really underestimated Weining's strength. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty secretly stood up for him in Chang'an. Although he didn't say it explicitly, anyone with any intelligence would know that today the emperor dared to kill the officials and craftsmen of Zongzheng Da Nong Mansion. Tomorrow He dares to kill you, Marquis Yingyin.

Plus Wei Qing's threat.

The two most powerful figures in the Han Dynasty are secretly supporting Weining.

How dare he show his teeth to Weining?
He couldn't figure it out. He was just a concubine who had made military achievements in northern Xinjiang. Why did Wei Qing and Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty protect him like this?
Guan Qiang gave in completely, and this incident caused an uproar among the upper-class elites in Lantian.

Originally, they were all prepared to watch a good show, thinking that Guan Qiang was going to carry out more crazy revenge, but the result was a surprise.

Marquis Yingyin gave in.

This established Weining's highest authority in the entire Lantian!
Of course, Wei Ning naturally didn't know what Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty and Wei Qing were doing for Wei Ning behind his back.

He thought his threat had frightened Guan Qiang.

Zhao Ce was very excited, and the twenty Yulin family generals in the Grand Concubine's Mansion were all elated. Each of them was extremely excited. From time to time, they would brag to the farmers in the village about how domineering their Grand Concubine was.

……

The sixteenth day of the twelfth lunar month.

The entire Guanzhong once again experienced an unprecedented heavy snowfall. Fortunately, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty changed the housing construction pattern of the entire Guanzhong, so the heavy snow would not crush the people's houses.

But food shortages are a big deal.In the face of a national crisis, businessmen have no feelings for their family and country, and they value profits. Under this extreme weather, all prices in the entire Guanzhong market are rising.

Five days ago, the price of grain was 93 yen per bushel. After five days of heavy snow, the price of grain rose to 190 yen per bushel, fully doubling the price.

On the seventh day, the price of grain increased to 360 yuan per hu, quadrupling.

A large number of people in Guanzhong began to lack food. The lack of food resulted in a large number of disaster victims.

This added another headache and annoyance to the political governance of the Han Dynasty.

The businessman's attitude of valuing profits over righteousness was vividly reflected in this disaster. It is no wonder that rulers of all dynasties classified businessmen as the lowest class in society.

Kylin Hall.

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty summoned Zhuang Qingzhai, Dong Zhongshu, Dongfang Shuo, Sang Hongyang, Wei Qing and other important ministers to discuss disaster relief strategies.

The food in the Treasury cannot support the entire Guanzhong victims. Even if the Treasury releases all supplies, the food will only be enough to feed [-] victims for a month.

But now the number of disaster victims in Guanzhong is more than [-], and the number is increasing by [-] every day.

How to relieve this disaster?
Everyone can't think of any countermeasures, and now they can only take one step at a time.

"Initiate Your Majesty."

The eunuch Su Wen cautiously came to Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty and said to him: "The eldest prince Liu Huan wants to see you."

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was upset and said impatiently: "What is he doing here at this time?"

"Forget it, let him in."

"Here!"

Not long after, Liu Huan walked in. He first saluted Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty as father and son, and then saluted his ministers. The ministers returned the salute and nodded with satisfaction.

These officials in the outer court actually admired Liu Huan.

Putting aside Chen Ajiao's factors, Liu Huan is definitely a qualified prince.

He is filial, sensible, modest and courteous, and has due respect for his ministers, so he can win the favor and support of these people.

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty saw everything.

"Father, I heard that you didn't eat much all day, so I brought you some food."

Liu Huan spoke.

The ministers nodded secretly, what a filial child.

However, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty said angrily: "The ministers have not eaten, and tens of thousands of people in Guanzhong have not eaten. What do you want me to eat? How can I continue to eat?"

Liu Huan said hurriedly: "I know my crime."

Dongfang Shuo and others comforted Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty and said: "Your Majesty, you are the father of all peoples. Your body cannot collapse. The eldest prince has a sincere heart. Please calm down your anger."

Emperor Wu of Han snorted slightly.

Liu Huan hurriedly said: "Father, I also heard from the teacher that the people in Guanzhong are suffering from disasters."

"My son wants to go out to provide disaster relief on behalf of my father, so that the people will know that I, the great man, have never given up on them. I ask my father to help me."

In any case, people in the royal family must have an attitude. Liu Huan's proposal was very good and the officials were very satisfied.

Standing together with the victims on behalf of the royal family can at least stabilize people's hearts.

The ministers hurriedly clasped their fists and agreed with Liu Huan's suggestion.

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty pondered for a while. There was really no one who could go out to provide disaster relief on his behalf. Liu Ju was still young, and Weining had not yet been recognized.

He thought for a moment and then said: "Yes."
