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

Chapter 159 The Discovery of Sang Hongyang
Spring grass stretches to the sky as far as the eye can see.

There is greenery on both sides of the wide official road in the suburbs of Chang'an.

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty felt relaxed and happy. He was still a little anxious in the morning, but he slowly relaxed and no longer thought about Huo Qubing and Huainan King Liu An.

He sat on the ridge of the field, squinting at Weining who was squatting on the ground in front of him.

Spring wild vegetables taste good and are tender and tender.

When he was young, every spring, Weining would go with his mother to pick wild vegetables outside Qianshui Village. He knew how to defend everything that was edible and poisonous.

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty smiled, patted the dirt on his butt, and squatted down next to Weining.

He also began to imitate Wei Ning in picking wild vegetables seriously, and soon the wild vegetables piled up into a small mountain.

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty looked at the little wild vegetables next to Wei Ning and frowned.

It took me so long to dig wild vegetables to get so little, but the efficiency was so slow.

Emperor Wu of Han coughed twice, attracting Wei Ning's attention. Weining turned back and glanced at Emperor Wu of Han.

He stood with his hands behind his back, and the small pile of green grass at his feet attracted special attention.

Wei Ning said in confusion: "Your Majesty, why are you pulling weeds?"

cough cough cough.

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty coughed violently and said awkwardly: "It's nothing, I'm bored."

"What are you digging?"

Wei Ning said matter-of-factly: "It's wild vegetables. Let's go back and eat them at noon. Blanch them and add some spices. They'll be especially delicious."

"Um...Your Majesty, are you also digging wild vegetables?"

Wei Ning looked at Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty uncertainly, and then at the green grass next to his feet.

He suddenly understood something.

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty hurriedly denied: "I'm not, I don't have it... I'm just bored."

Wei Ning said with a half-smile, "Oh."

"Actually, it's normal for Your Majesty not to recognize wild vegetables."

"Everyone has his own strengths and weaknesses. His majesty has great talents and great strategies to benefit the world. All he needs to do is manage the country well. These things are meaningless to your majesty and are a waste of time."

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty retorted: "You are now in a high position, so why do you know how to distinguish wild vegetables?"

Wei Ning: "..."

"Has Your Majesty forgotten my origin?"

"I went through hardships. When I was young, I didn't have enough food to eat. Spring is always the happiest time for my mother and I."

Weining's face showed yearning. Although those years were poor and poor, it was undoubtedly his happiest period.

In spring, all things are abundant, and the wild vegetables on the roadside and the mushrooms on the mountains are their best food.

These wild mushrooms taste very good, and they don’t cost any money. Every household can pick them, wash them and eat them, and they taste great.

Naturally, the rich and powerful would not eat what these lowly people eat, but Weining never tired of it.

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty sighed with regret when he heard Wei Ning's past: "You could have had a better life."

Wei Ning didn't understand. He said, "It's pretty good. I don't think there's anything wrong with it."

"Hey, don't mention this anymore. Your Majesty, let's go back. These wild vegetables are enough for us. I'll boil some for you at noon and you can try it."

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty nodded: "Okay! Let's go!"

Not far away, looking at the departing figures of Wei Ning and Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, Sang Hongyang's jaw almost dropped in shock.

Just now, he personally encouraged farmers to grow mulberry trees next to the farmland in the suburbs, and he spotted the figures of Weining and Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty in the distance.

He originally wanted to go over and say hello to Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, but found that Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was squatting next to Weining and digging wild vegetables with Weining.This scene made Sang Hongyang stunned. He was the emperor, the emperor of the Han Dynasty!
He was actually accompanying Weining to dig wild vegetables?
Sang Hongyang rubbed his eyes and stared at the leaving figures of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty and Wei Ning, his mind wandering with thoughts.

Could it be that he is really His Majesty's illegitimate son?
Who is Weining's mother?
Sang Hongyang knew about Weining's birth. Isn't he an ordinary farmer from Lantian Qianshui Village?His mother seems to be a farm girl, and his father...

Wait, it seems like he never mentioned his father.

No one knew who his father was. Even the Lantian County Government only registered Wei Ning's mother, and there was no news about his father.

hiss!
Sang Hongyang's heartbeat suddenly began to accelerate, as if he had discovered some terrible secret.

But soon, he couldn't help but tremble slightly!
If this is really His Majesty's child, what arrangements will be made for the two people in the palace?

The Han Dynasty has not yet decided on the country's foundation, and the position of the prince is still suspended. People such as Dong Zhongshu, Shi Qing and others would often privately request Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty to establish a prince.

But Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty always turned a blind eye.

What is the emperor planning?Sang Hongyang was a little shuddered!

By delaying the establishment of a national foundation for so long, is it possible that he is paving the way for Lord Wei?

When Sang Hongyang figured out his thoughts, he felt more and more that his guess was reliable!
Otherwise, there is no way to explain His Majesty’s various actions!
Would Your Majesty spend his free time accompanying Weining all day long to do such boring things?

Unless His Majesty is making up for Wei Ning!
That’s the case, that’s probably the case!
Sang Hongyang's heartbeat accelerated, as if he had discovered some shocking secret!
……

Huainan country.

Early that morning, Liu Ling arrived at Huainan Kingdom before Huo Qubing's envoy team arrived.

Huainan Palace.

Liu Ling was so busy that he didn't even have time to rest, so he went to the middle hall to find Liu An, the king of Huainan.

"Dad! Something happened!"

Liu An was stunned for a moment and said solemnly: "What's the matter?"

Liu Ling had been secretly arranged by him to secretly befriend ministers in Chang'an. To come uninvited at this time could only mean that the situation in Chang'an had changed.

Combined with the fact that Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty sent Huo Qubing to Huainan Kingdom these days, Liu An became a little uneasy.

Liu Ling said hurriedly: "Zhang Cigong has been acting strangely recently."

"My daughter asked him several times, but he made excuses and refused to accept her."

"Not only him, but also some of the higher-ups in the military were so alienated from me."

"I heard that Your Majesty sent Huo Qubing to Huainan. I concluded that something is wrong with Zhang Cigong!"

hiss!
The King of Huainan took a breath. It stands to reason that Zhang Cigong had received their money and had an affair with his own daughter. In any case, he would not dare to report anything to His Majesty.

King Huainan felt that he had caught Zhang Cigong and the court officials, but he was still too arbitrary.

How on earth did Zhang Cigong and his group dare to take risks?

They just don’t have the brains!
Liu Ling said anxiously: "Father, don't worry about who is advising Zhang Cigong."

"The results are out and we have to find a way to deal with it."

Huainan Kingdom's weapons, armor, swords and weapons, once discovered by Huo Qubing, would be a serious crime of beheading and killing the clan!

Either prepare everything for raising troops, or wait to be found out and executed. There is no expedient countermeasure.

Liu An pondered for a while and said to Liu Ling: "You should not go to Chang'an recently."

"I will ask Liu Qian and the others to impose martial law. If Huo Qubing really wants to be investigated, I will not let him leave Shouchun City!"

Liu Ling nodded: "Okay!"

At this moment, a soldier from the Huainan Palace came hurriedly: "Report, Your Majesty, Huo Qubing's team has arrived outside Shouchun City!"
