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

Chapter 173 Chen Xi is in action

After Li Ganping returned to the court in disorder, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty did not give him any reward and even demoted him.

At that time, Zhang Cigong realized that the Huainan King had the intention to rebel, and he was guilty of having an affair with the Huainan Princess Liu Ling.

The merits and demerits were balanced, and Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty did not pursue the case.

This frightened Zhang Cigong into a cold sweat.

If Wei Ning hadn't reminded him, if King Huainan had rebelled first, his family would have been confiscated and his family exterminated.

The Huainan Kingdom's large vassal states were all owned by the imperial court.

The two prime ministers Li Cai and Zhuang Qingzhai are making personnel arrangements and selecting some officials to go to Huainan Kingdom for governance.

The Huainan Kingdom was removed from its name, and Huainan County and Shouchun County were established. They were no longer named after vassal states.

The Tweeting Order was promoted in full swing in the Han Dynasty.

A lot has happened in this month, and it’s summer and May in a blink of an eye.

……

Lotus buds sway in the summer rain breeze.

Pitter-patter rain hit the courtyard, stirring up a patch of mud.

Longluhou Mansion.

Chen Xi sat under the eaves of the central hall and admired the first rain of summer.

He was sitting on a low futon under the eaves of the courtyard. In front of him was a long, low table. Tea was boiling on the long table, and the tea was steaming.

His fingers kept tapping the document. Next to the document was a piece of paper, which was a letter sent to him by Chen Ajiao.

Chen Zhuang stood quietly behind Chen Xi, and after a long time he said: "Dad, my aunt asked us to design a plan to get rid of Wei Qing. She asked us to use Princess Pingyang... but how to use it?"

Chen Xiang looked at him indifferently and said, "I have to let A-mei take care of everything. What's the use of me? In the future, when Liu Huan ascends the throne, what's the use of me?"

"Can't you think for yourself if you have a brain?"

Chen Zhuang was choked and did not dare to speak.

Mainly because I have no brains and can’t figure out how to use Princess Pingyang to get rid of Wei Qing.

Chen Xi said earnestly: "Wei Qing used to be a riding slave in Princess Pingyang's mansion, and Princess Pingyang was his former master."

"Now that Wei Qing is prosperous, Princess Pingyang admires Wei Qing in her heart."

Chen Zhuang took a breath and said, "But dad! Doesn't Princess Pingyang have a husband?"

Chen Xi said: "Yes, Princess Pingyang's current husband is Ruyinhou Xiahou Po."

"What would happen if Xiahoupo found out that Wei Qing was having an affair with Princess Pingyang?"

Chen Zhuang was stunned and said in shock: "Then Xiahou Po will definitely impeach Wei Qing to death!"

What man can bear this kind of humiliation? Who can bear it when he sees his wife secretly having an affair with another man?

In addition, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty began to be wary of Wei Qing. If Wei Qing really committed the crime of fornication, no matter how great his previous achievements were, he would probably be punished with the highest punishment.

This is indeed the best strategy to get rid of Wei Qing, but the problem is that Wei Qing is so upright, and he still has a seriously ill wife to take care of at home, how could he have an affair with Princess Hepingyang?
Chen Zhuang shook his head, thinking this was unrealistic.

They are not familiar with Princess Pingyang either, so they can't let Princess Pingyang obey their orders, right?

Chen Xi said calmly: "It depends on human effort."

After a moment of silence, he said: "Find someone to deliver a message to Wei Qing, saying that Princess Pingyang made an appointment with him at Linhe Restaurant and wanted to tell him about Wei Pingjun in 14."

"Make an appointment with Princess Pingyang to Linhe Restaurant in advance and put an aphrodisiac in her wine."

When Chen Zhuang heard this, his eyes widened suddenly and he gasped: "Dad..."

"If this matter is discovered, we will commit a heinous crime!"

Chen Xi nodded and said: "I know, so let's make things clean. Everyone involved in this matter must be eradicated and killed!"

"Don't leave any clues."

"I want to get benefits, but I don't dare to take risks. How can there be such a good thing in the world." "If Liu Huan ascends the throne in the future, I will make great achievements. If I do nothing, the future will still be mediocre!"

Chen Yu is now outside power. After his mother, Wang, supported Liu Che to ascend the throne, he and his eldest brother were made marquises and held important positions in the court.

His sister Chen Ajiao was named queen.

Everything is so beautiful.

But after Ajiao Chen fell out of favor, everything changed.

Chen Xi was unwilling to lose his power.

He has no hope of returning to politics now. The only hope is for Liu Huan to ascend the throne.

Even if it's risky, he's going to do it.

To put it bluntly, if the huge upstart forces like Wei Qing are not eliminated, Liu Huan will have a lot of troubles if he wants to ascend the throne. Even if he ascends the throne in the future, he may not be able to control Wei Qing and this group of people.

Now there is a chance to get rid of him. The time, place and people are favorable. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty is also on guard against Wei Qing. This is the best opportunity. If he doesn't take action, how long will he wait?
Chen Zhuang gritted his teeth and said, "Okay!"

"But Dad, if... I mean if, if we are discovered, will we die?"

Chen Xi confidently said: "No."

"No matter how heartless the emperor is, he will still remember our mothers for helping him. Without our mothers, he would not be the emperor."

"We sent him to his position. Even if we do all the evil, the emperor will not go to the extent of killing people. Don't worry."

Chen Zhuang felt relieved, nodded and said, "My son, go and make arrangements now."

……

Scattered heavy rain is still falling.

Wei Qing was reading books in the study room of the mansion when a servant came over with a letter: "General, there is a letter from Princess Pingyang."

Wei Qing was suspicious for a moment, opened the letter and took a look, his expression gradually became a little strange.

Princess Pingyang wants to tell me about the third sister in 14?
what's up?

Could it be that she also discovered something?
Wei Qing thought for a moment, then walked out holding an oil-paper umbrella, and ordered his servants not to follow.

On Chang'an Street, Wei Ning saw Wei Qing from a distance, walked towards him, and shouted: "General, General?"

Why is General Wei so absent-minded?

It took a while before Wei Qing came to his senses, looked at Wei Ning and said, "Oh, what's wrong?"

Wei Ning said in confusion: "General, it's raining so hard, what are you doing?"

Wei Qing thought for a while and then said to Wei Ning: "Go to Princess Pingyang to discuss something."

"Ah? What do you want from her?"

Wei Qing said: "Some old things happened in the past, you don't need to know."

"It's raining heavily, go back early."

Wei Ning snorted and said, "Okay, I'll leave first."

"Ah."

Wei Ning was a little surprised and walked towards the mansion without thinking too much.

Wei Qing walked towards Linhe Restaurant with his heart full of thoughts.

……

Inside the restaurant.

Princess Pingyang sat on the futon, and she was extremely curious. Why did Wei Qing invite her to a place like this?
Could it be that...he is enlightened?Do you finally understand my thoughts?
Are you asking me to have an affair?
Princess Pingyang didn't care so much. She had little relationship with Xia Houpo and had always admired Wei Qing. However, Wei Qing was upright and always pretended to be confused.

Princess Pingyang took a few sips of the wine. For some reason, she suddenly felt hot all over her body and her eyes became blurry.
