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

Chapter 186 Or, marry a princess to Weining?

Li House.

The doctors came one after another and finally fixed Li Jiao's legs.

"Prime Minister, Third Young Master."

"Second Young Master's leg will be fine after just half a year of rest."

The doctor said respectfully.

Li Cai waved his hand and motioned for the doctor to go down.

Li Cai is Li Guang's cousin and the prime minister of the Han Dynasty.

If something happened to his nephew, he would naturally come to see him.

Li Gan stood beside him with an angry face and snorted: "How audacious! Even the people of the Li family dare to bully me!"

"Second brother, who are you talking about? I'm going to kill him! No matter how big he is, can he be bigger than the Li family?"

These words seem familiar!

Li Jiao waved his hand: "Lao San, stop fooling around, the other party is His Majesty."

Li Gan: "..."

Li Cai was also stunned for a moment, staring at Li Jiao in astonishment, and said: "Tell me the ins and outs of the matter carefully, don't miss a word."

Li Guang was not in Chang'an, so Li Cai naturally had to take care of his children.

What Li Cai didn't understand was how could Li Jiao offend His Majesty?
After Li Jiao finished explaining the matter, Li Cai said suspiciously: "You said His Majesty took the Marquis of Zhenbei out for inspection incognito?"

It's Zhenbeihou again, and Weining again.

If he, the Han Prime Minister, doesn't find any clues at this time, then his work as Prime Minister will be in vain.

Your Majesty is the king of a country and has many important family and national affairs to deal with.

Even if you want to go out on patrol incognito, you should take the eldest son Liu Huan with you.

But why Weining?

Since Weining came back from Dingxiang, the emperor has given Marquis Zhenbei too many benefits and favors.

Leaving aside the rewards from the chief concubine to the Marquis of Zhenbei, His Majesty Weining asked Zongzheng Da Nong Mansion to provide tax benefits.

The promotion of Quyuan plow, paper, etc. were all supervised by Weining.

Since Your Majesty values ​​the Marquis of Zhenbei so much, why not allow him to serve as an official in the court?

This is so contradictory.

Li Cai rubbed his forehead, stared at Li Jiao indifferently, and said coldly: "Stupid thing!"

"Who let you touch these things!"

Li Cai scolded and left Li Guang's mansion with his hands behind his back.

On the way, Li Cai was still deep in thought. He found that His Majesty seemed to be intending to train the Marquis of Zhenbei?
Train him to be an official?Or enter the court as prime minister?Thinking about the future?

It doesn’t make any sense!

……

Early in the morning today, at the end of May, there is a great meeting.

Li Cai took the initiative to plead guilty.

Li Jiao is his nephew, he is the prime minister, and he takes the initiative to bully the people. He must bear this crime.

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty did not tolerate him, so he dismissed him as prime minister and placed him on the Yushitai.

At the same time, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty asked Zhuang Qingzhai, the right prime minister, to punish the county magistrate for Wannian County.

The Tingwei Mansion promoted the addition of laws on private lending, incorporated high-profit loans into the law, stipulated the maximum interest rate for private lending, and the government would resolve any disputes, and private violent debt collection was not allowed.

In addition, he also asked Zhuang Qingzhai to supervise counties across the country to catch typical cases and deal with serious violations of laws and disciplines in banks.

As for the extent to which it was achieved, Zhuang Qingzhai had already understood Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty's intention, and there was no need for Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty to explicitly state this.

After saying this, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty said: "The Marquis of Zhenbei gave me some advice. Please listen to it and how to implement it."

"He suggested that I conduct a comprehensive inventory of officials in Beijing every three years and conduct inspections of local county and county officials every five years."

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty did not ask his officials to analyze the feasibility of this matter. He directly asked his officials how to supervise the matter.

It’s Zhenbeihou again!
Dongfang Shuo glanced sideways at Sang Hongyang.

The two looked at each other knowingly.

Since Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty had decided to establish a two-chamber system, naturally no one among his officials dared to object.As for how to use it, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty had already thought about it, and Zhuang Qingzhai gave the same opinion as Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.

These people who have been in high positions for a long time are extremely smart, and fools cannot achieve this position.

It is obvious that Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty just took the opportunity to announce this matter, not to solicit the opinions of the officials. At the same time, he added a meritorious service to Wei Ning among the officials, so that more officials began to pay attention to Wei Ning.

After the goal was achieved, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty announced his resignation.

……

At the beginning of June, the Han Dynasty entered the busy season, and all local counties and counties began to harvest crops.

Entering June, the empire was relatively peaceful.

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty came to Jiaofang Hall with his hands behind his back.

Wei Zifu greeted Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty with a smile and said, "Your Majesty, there will be a sacrifice in two days, right?"

Emperor Wu of Han snorted.

The Qin and Han Dynasties paid great attention to sacrificial etiquette. After Dong Zhongshu proposed divine rights, the Han Empire began to pay more attention to sacrificial rituals.

Entering June, every household is busy with farming, and the emperor also needs to offer sacrifices to the country and recommend new ones.

The god of grains is called Ji, and recommending new things is to pray for a good agricultural harvest.

Since the God of Sheji is to be worshiped, not only does the emperor need to make a grand appearance to offer sacrifices, but the queen also needs to dress up to attend.

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty naturally would not allow Chen Ajiao to perform sacrifices. Only Wei Zifu had this status in the harem.

Do we really want Wei Zifu to go out to sacrifice?
Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty needed to think carefully. If Wei Zifu came forward to sacrifice, it would be equivalent to announcing Wei Zifu's quasi-empress status to the outside court.

It won't be long before a guard is established.

It's not that Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty still had any feelings for Chen Ajiao, the main reason was that if Wei Zifu wanted to sacrifice, he would inevitably meet Wei Ning.

Unless Wei Ning is not allowed to sacrifice.

But Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty wanted to make the outer court pay attention to Weining's status during this sacrifice.

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty thought for a while and then said: "You can sacrifice to me."

Wei Zifu was stunned.

Your Majesty, aren't you afraid that Xiao Ning will see me?

She didn't dare to say anything more.

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty thought for a moment and said, "Do you have a good candidate?"

"what?"

Wei Zifu's thoughts were disturbed by Emperor Wu of Han's sudden words.

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty smiled and said: "The Marquis of Zhenbei is fifteen this year, and he will be sixteen after the new year begins."

"I want to find a suitable family for him, do you have any ideas?"

Say goodbye to Weining?
Indeed, the children are getting older and it is time to talk about marriage.

But Wei Zifu didn't have any good ideas, and she didn't know much about the people in the outer court.

"It's all up to Your Majesty to decide."

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty nodded and said: "I will ask Dongfang Shuo."

He used to be a fortune teller, so he knows a lot about these things.

When looking for a daughter-in-law, you should naturally look for someone with a prosperous husband, not someone who is bitter, mean, and jealous.

After Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty experienced Chen Ajiao, he looked away. Women did not need to be beautiful, as long as they were self-restrained and polite, not jealous, and did not disturb family harmony, that was his favorite goal.

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty met with Dongfang Shuo at the Qilin Hall.

Dongfang Shuo was slightly shocked when he heard that His Majesty was going to personally choose Wei Ning's bride.

What kind of identity can actually allow His Majesty to choose his bride personally?

Dongfang Shuo suddenly remembered some of Sang Hongyang's words. He looked at Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty carefully and said deliberately: "Your Majesty."

"The Marquis of Zhenbei has made great contributions and made outstanding contributions to the Han Dynasty."

"Or... select a princess from the palace to marry the Marquis of Zhenbei?"

After hearing this, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty became furious: "You fart!"
