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

Chapter 177 Your Majesty is too kind to the Marquis of Zhenbei, right?
In the early morning, candlelight flickered.

In the main hall of Weiyang Palace, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was sitting in front of his official documents.

The three oil lamps on the desk burned very vigorously, illuminating the place like daylight.

Five steps away in front of the document, Zhang Tang stood with a respectful bow.

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty opened the paper on the slip and read it carefully for a while, then took a deep breath and showed a fierce look on his face.

"He really was given two chances."

"Does he really think that I don't dare to kill him?"

"Why do you challenge me again and again?"

The paper on the document is the result of Zhang Tang's investigation.

After Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty announced that Wei Qing would be sentenced to exile, he asked Zhang Tang to investigate the ins and outs of the matter.

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty gave Zhang Tang all the power he could call upon, and Zhang Tang lived up to Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty's expectations. It took him three hours to finally investigate the matter clearly at dawn.

Princess Pingyang's wine in the restaurant was indeed drugged. The shopkeeper in the restaurant said that a stranger had been here. Zhang Tang found the stranger, but he was already dead.

Zhang Tang also used Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty's Qianlong secret spy to find out the social connections of the person who administered the medicine, and finally followed the clues to a servant of the Longluhou Mansion.

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty said that the other party was stupid, and he was right.

He really didn't dare to think that anyone would be stupid enough to confront the power of the country. Did he really think that Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty had lost control of the country now?Or do you regard him as a puppet emperor?

Is this trick enough in his eyes?
Emperor Wu of Han slowly closed his eyes.

He is thinking, thinking about the other party's purpose.

Why frame Wei Qing?

What are the benefits of framing Wei Qing?For Longluhou?

Empress Chen had an affair with Wei Zifu before, and Chen Ajiao also ordered someone to kill Wei Qing, but was reported by Gongsun Ao, and Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty stopped the incident.

At that time, Queen Chen was still the Queen of the Han Dynasty, and Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty chose to settle the matter.

More than ten years have passed, and the current Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty is no longer the emperor with unstable power when he first ascended the throne.

Now you have to deal with Wei Qing under his nose?
"Has anyone caught it?"

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty opened his eyes and suddenly asked Zhang Tang.

Zhang Tang said hurriedly: "Your Majesty, you have secretly controlled the servants of Longluhou Mansion, and he has explained everything."

"Did Marquis Longlu instigate it?"

Zhang Tang said calmly: "Yes."

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty hummed, nodded slowly, and said: "Go and hand the person over to the Marquis of Zhenbei."

what?
Zhang Tang was stunned for a moment and looked at Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty in shock.

What do you mean?
Why should the person be handed over to Lord Wei?
Do you want Mr. Wei Hou to rehabilitate Wei Qing?
But at that time, Wei Qing would be grateful to the Marquis of Zhenbei, not you, the emperor!

You did so many things for Wei Qing in private, why did you end up taking advantage of Wei Ning...

hiss!
What if His Majesty did not do so many things for Wei Qing?
What if His Majesty did these things for the Marquis of Zhenbei from the beginning?
Can the logic of His Majesty's weird behavior be explained?

But why!

Who is this Weining that can make Your Majesty so interested in you?
Previously in Dingxiang, Wei Ning killed Zhao Jiadi. At that time, His Majesty was still weighing whether to enforce the law impartially against Wei Ning or to directly kill the Zhao family and stabilize the situation in Dingxiang City.

At that time, His Majesty was wise and put the overall situation first, and his attitude toward Wei Ning was whether he could kill him or not.

But it has only been a year. Even if Your Majesty values ​​Weining, there is no need to be so partial to him, right?
If His Majesty himself comes to judge this matter and provides justice to Wei Qing, it will not only shock the officials in the court and let them know how thunderous His Majesty's methods are, but also make Wei Qing feel grateful to the Emperor from the bottom of his heart.

But now, His Majesty has given all the clues to Wei Ning and asked Wei Ning to do it all.

In this way, the officials will begin to value Wei Ning's abilities, and Wei Qing will be grateful to Wei Ning. In the hearts of the officials, Your Majesty will be seen as a fool, deceived, and impulsive.

Why should this be done?It doesn’t make sense!
In just a short moment, Zhang Tang thought a lot, and for a while he even forgot to reply to Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.

It wasn't until Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty snorted loudly that Zhang Tang suddenly reacted and said hurriedly: "Yes... yes!" "Weichen will go now."

"and many more!"

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty stopped Zhang Tang and said, "What do the Marquis of Zhenbei want to ask? Please stop talking nonsense."

"Do more, talk less, you know?"

hiss!
Is Zhenbeihou your son?This is simply more important than taking care of your own son!
"Here! I obey the order!"

After Zhang Tang received the order, he hurriedly exited Weiyang Palace and went straight to Beihou Mansion in Chang'an Town.

……

Weining Mansion.

Weining tossed and turned and couldn't sleep that night. When he was in a daze, there was a knock on the door.

Zhao Ce said softly: "General, excuse me, can you hear me?"

Wei Ning hummed and said, "Is something wrong?"

It was so late, and Zhao Ce would not be so ignorant of the rules. Wei Ning got up, got dressed, and opened the door.

Zhao Ce hurriedly said: "Zhongcheng Zhangtang, the imperial censor, came to you and said that he has something important to do."

Wei Ning was stunned for a moment. Zhang Tang came to him at this time, it must be about Wei Qing.

He hurriedly said: "Take it to the central hall, I will be there right away."

"Here!"

After a while, Wei Ning lifted up his robe and came to the middle hall. He raised his hands and said to Zhang Tang, "What does Zhang Zhongcheng want from me?"

Zhang Tang said calmly: "The case of General Da Sima has been found out."

"The lower official has sent a person to the Marquis. He was captured from Longlu Mansion. You should interrogate him carefully."

Wei Ning looked confused and said, "What do you mean?"

Zhang Tang shook his head and said: "The remaining Lord Wei will be questioned quickly. In less than an hour, the court meeting will begin."

He took a deep look at Weining, said nothing, and left.

Wei Ning was shocked for a moment and hurriedly said to Zhao Ce: "Let's go! Go and interrogate people!"

……

Longluhou Mansion.

Chen Tan was still sleeping with his concubine in his arms.

A rapid knock on the door sounded from outside.

It was still raining heavily tonight, so it was a good time to go to bed. Chen Xi slept soundly. He was very tired from having sex with his concubine last night. At this time, he heard a knock on the door outside and shouted impatiently: "Who is it? Do you want to die?"

"Dad, it's a child." Chen Zhuang's voice was hoarse and he was shaking badly.

With sleepy eyes and an impatient look on his face, Chen Zhu opened the door with his clothes on, led Chen Zhuang to the side hall, filled a teacup with a pot of water, and started drinking.

"A guest in the house is missing."

Chen Xi said calmly: "If you disappear, you will disappear. What a big deal."

Say it, he took the tea and drank it again.

Chen Zhuang spoke hastily, "The missing person is the retainer of the Hou Mansion who instigated outsiders to drug Princess Pingyang in the Linhe Tavern."

puff!
Chen Xi suddenly squirted out a mouthful of water and said in a sharp voice: "What?"

His face quickly turned pale, and he said uncertainly: "What did you say?! Didn't I ask you to kill everyone?"
