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

Chapter 178 Court meeting and arrest

At Yin hour, at two o'clock, the clock ticks tock to announce the dawn.

Courtiers were already standing outside Weiyang Palace, waiting for the gate of Weiyang Palace to open.

Because of Wei Qing's incident last night, they went to court all night and didn't sleep much when they got back. They had to come to Weiyang Palace again early in the morning for a court meeting.

Everyone is worried. Your Majesty just tried Wei Qing last night. I don't know what happened this morning.

Just when everyone was suspicious, a handsome young man wearing a light blue robe came from behind.

Zhenbeihou!
What does he come to do?
According to etiquette, he was not eligible to attend the court meeting.

All the officials turned their attention to the censor, and the censors headed by Zhang Tang turned a blind eye to Weining's appearance.

Before anyone could become suspicious, Gongsun Ao, Li Ju and other generals approached Weining.

This is to support Weining and let the court officials know that he, Weining, is not alone.

Before they could be surprised when Wei Ning became friends with these generals, Sang Hongyang actually took the initiative to lean towards Weining and say hello with a smile.

Sang Hongyang is smarter and has long been suspicious of Weining. Making friends with Weining at this time is definitely an excellent political opportunity!
This time, all the officials were shocked. Weining was not in the court, but he had power that people had to take seriously!
He is just a teenager, why do so many people support him?

The exciting sound of the morning bell finally came from the city gate in Weiyang Palace, and it was so heart-stirring.

The gate of Weiyang Palace was pushed open by the armored soldiers as the morning bells rang again and again.

The officials entered Weiyang Palace in an orderly manner from east to west, and walked towards the Qilin Palace under the guidance of the etiquette officer.

……

Nagato Palace, Wuyuan Palace.

At dawn, Chen Ajiao got up early. Today, for some unknown reason, she suddenly became restless.

Liu Huan got up early and was going to Tianlu Pavilion to study today.

"mother?"

"Why do you get up so early?"

Normally, Chen Ajiao would not get up so early. Chen Ajiao was used to going to bed late and getting up late, and Liu Huan knew that.

Chen Ajiao shook her head and said, "It's nothing, I can't sleep peacefully."

Liu Huan smiled and said: "Mom, Wei Qing was exiled by his father last night."

Chen Ajiao forced a smile. Of course she knew that Wei Qing was exiled last night.

But she still felt uneasy, fearing that her brother's dirty work would reveal some flaws.

Getting rid of Wei Qing is of course a great thing, as it can greatly weaken Wei Ning's strength.

But will it be so easy?

His Majesty's punishment of Wei Qing was too arbitrary, which made Chen Ajiao feel a little uneasy.

"Okay, mother knows, you go to school quickly."

Liu Huan hummed, but he still looked at Chen Ajiao suspiciously and said, "Mom, did you do it?"

Ajiao Chen: "What?"

Liu Huandao: "What about Wei Qing's exile?"

His mother had told him before that he would look for opportunities to reduce Wei Ning's wings. Wei Qing was Wei Ning's uncle and his biggest supporter in the court. As long as he was dealt with, Wei Ning would lose more than half of his power.

Of course what Chen Ajiao did was right. Similar events actually happened in history, but the protagonist became Wei Zifu’s son Liu Zhi!

After Liu Zheng lost the support of Wei Qing and Huo Qubing in the court, he soon began to be counterattacked by the ministers, and finally suffered the tragic end of the witchcraft disaster.

The trigger of the witchcraft disaster was the ministers and eunuchs in the court. They only started to plan against Liu Zheng after they saw Liu Zheng losing power.

Chen Ajiao's approach is naturally clever, but it is also risky. The risks and benefits are both great!

Chen Ajiao nodded slightly and said, "Uncle is out there controlling us. We are all working hard for you."

"Don't worry about these things, go and study with your teacher with peace of mind, and honor your father."

Liu Huan hummed and said, "Okay."

After Liu Huan left, Chen Ajiao sat in front of the papers and prayed restlessly. …

Weiyang Palace, Qilin Palace.

Not long after the official start of the court meeting, Weining came out to announce something.

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty did not let him enter the palace last night, but today Wei Ning did.

There is no doubt that Wei Ning is exonerating Wei Qing.

When the retainer of Longluhou Mansion was roped in, he immediately explained the process of finding someone to date Princess Pingyang and Wei Qing, as well as the fact that he bribed people in advance to drug them in the tavern and kill people to silence them.

There is no doubt that he will die as a result, but Weining promised him that he would ensure the safety of his family.

When this disciple told all the ins and outs of the matter in Qilin Hall.

All the officials in the main hall were in an uproar.

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty squinted his eyes and sighed self-deprecatingly: "I am being played by Marquis Longlu."

"Fortunately, the Marquis of Zhenbei found out, otherwise wouldn't I have unjustly made a mistake and become a fool?"

Wei Ning wanted to speak and tell Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty that it was not him who found out, but Zhang Tang.

But Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty did not give him a chance to speak.

"Okay, let's retreat from the court, and don't leave the court meeting. If any of you continues to play tricks on me and I don't know it, then do I still have the nerve to govern such a huge country?"

As soon as these words came out, all the officials were frightened, and they all clasped their fists and bent down to apologize: "I don't dare, Your Majesty, please calm down!"

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty said coldly: "Am I angry?"

"Let's retreat."

After speaking, he waved his large black dragon robe and walked indifferently towards the side hall.

"Well, by the way, Huo Qubing, come with me."

After Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty left, all the officials in the hall looked at each other in shock.

There were gasps one after another. No one thought that this matter would involve Long Liuhou, and that the other party would be so bold as to use His Majesty's hands to get rid of Wei Qing?
If the Marquis of Zhenbei hadn't found out, wouldn't Wei Qing have really jumped into the Yellow River and been washed away?
Of all the officials in the hall, perhaps only Zhang Tang knew best that His Majesty was acting.

Because he had known about Longluhou for a long time, all the anger he showed today was just to put on a show for Wei Ning and all the officials.

Let Baiguan believe that it was because Wei Ning found out the ins and outs of this matter that he could know the truth of the matter.

What is the purpose of taking such good care of Weining...?

Zhang Tang was having trouble thinking.

……

With an angry look on his face, Huo Qubing followed Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty to the side hall.

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty looked at him indifferently and said: "Take Jianzhangying to Longluhou Mansion, arrest the Chen family and his son, and send them to Tingwei Mansion."

"Okay!" Huo Qubing said, "I'll go right away."

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty said again: "Go and tell Wei Ning and ask him to release Wei Qing."

Huo Qubing nodded vigorously: "Okay!"

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty waved his hand and said: "Go."

After Huo Qubing left, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty gradually narrowed his eyes and said to himself: "Boy, I said, I will start paving the way for you."

"I think after today, the officials in the court will start to look at you with admiration."

……

The sky is getting brighter, and I am looking at the Marquis Mansion.

Chen Zhuang and Chen Zhuang were eating breakfast absentmindedly. The breakfast was obviously rich, but now it tasted a little tasteless.

Boom!

There was a burst of thunder, which made Chen and his son couldn't help but tremble, feeling that something bad was about to happen!
