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

Chapter 239 Criticizing Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty

Zhengxi thought Wei Ning must be crazy.

But the wisdom and confidence he showed in Honglu Temple before were completely opposite to today.

Is he really not afraid of being ruined?

Zhengxi deliberately found the most prosperous restaurant in Chang'an, where there were many diners. As long as she yelled that Wei Ning was insulting her, it would immediately cause explosive news in Chang'an.

It wouldn't matter if Weining was just an ordinary citizen, he wouldn't attract so much attention, but he is Weining, the top dignitary in Chang'an, the Marquis of Zhenbei!

Rumors are the most hurtful. As long as she compiles this rumor, the specific details of the people and Weining's political opponents will directly complete the logical chain.

People don't care about the truth, they just want to see and hear what they think is the truth.

So when the time comes, Weining won't be able to argue.

But Weining looked indifferent and even encouraged Zhengxi to speak.

Zheng Xi was a little unsure. She thought Wei Ning was playing tricks on her. She gritted her teeth and remained silent for a moment, then said sternly: "Then don't blame me for being ruthless!"

"Help! Someone is trying to insult me!"

A sharp sound sounded, and not long after, a knight-errant man broke into the door and shouted sternly: "In broad daylight, the world is bright..."

Before he finished speaking, the group of guests who broke the door were dumbfounded.

They looked at Zheng Xi with strange eyes, thinking, are you kidding me?

Are all the people in this room collectively insulting you?

Are you calling now?

Do you think the people of Chang'an are fools?

People in Zhengxi are also confused now.

After she shouted that voice just now, many men jumped out of the room.

But she didn't know it before.

Wei Ning asked Zheng Xi with a half-smile, "Who is insulting you here? Or are they all insulting you?"

"If I'm insulting you, can you still scream now?"

Zheng Xi: "..."

This bastard! When did he put people in?

"This...I..."

The group of spectators who were treated as fools stared at Zheng Xi speechlessly and said displeasedly: "Girl, are you making fun of us?"

"It's not a joke."

Zhengxi: "No, it's not...this..."

Wei Ning raised his eyebrows, smiled at Zheng Xi, and said, "Is there anything else?"

"This is Chang'an. Don't always think about it. This is my territory. Do you understand me? Do you understand?"

Looking at Wei Ning's leaving figure, Zhengxi stamped his feet vigorously: "You are cruel! Bitch!"

"On purpose! He had already expected what I was going to do. He was teasing the dog on purpose."

……

On the way back, Zhao Ce couldn't help but give a thumbs up and said to Wei Ning: "Master Hou, wow!"

"You figured this all out!"

"Great!"

"It seems that these southern barbarians are not fools. If it weren't for your wisdom, Mr. Marquis, it would be hard to explain today."

Wei Ning was speechless and didn't think much about this matter.

Returning to the Hou Mansion, Wei Ning found Wei Qing waiting for him.

"Uncle, why are you here?"

Wei Ning invited Wei Qing to sit down in the middle hall.

Wei Qing: "When can you change this problem?"

Weining: "What's wrong?"

"He's here as soon as he comes. Why do you have to ask me?" Wei Ning: "..."

"It must be changed next time."

Wei Qing smiled, took a few sips of tea, and then said to Wei Ning: "Several old Confucian scholars from Shandong have entered Beijing."

"I guess they will make a fuss about our Wei family."

"Life in Shandong is difficult. There have been heavy snowfalls for several days this winter. People are living in hardship and living supplies are in short supply."

"I'm afraid these old scholars are going to connect Shandong Heavy Snow and Kong Anguo's death."

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty killed Kong Anguo for several days, which was a huge humiliation to the entire Kong family. They had been holding back their anger, waiting for this time to fight back.

The snowstorm just gave them an excuse.

In the final analysis, this matter is still to blame. The idea of ​​heaven and humans sensing the divine right of kings will inevitably lead to a group of people seizing on this idea to deal with the emperor.

Wei Qing's face became a little more solemn, and he said to Wei Ning: "The weather in Chang'an these days is also weird. Thunderstorms in winter are really rare. Such weird weather phenomena give these old scholars in Shandong an excuse to criticize us."

"You can't beat these people, nor can you scold them."

They are all a group of old people whose feet are about to be buried. The big man also claims to rule the world with filial piety, and respect for the elders is the basic social custom.

No one dares to break this unspoken rule. There is really nothing you can do against this group of people.

I have to say that these Confucian people are really cunning. They deliberately let these old people come to Beijing to seek justice. You, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, can't beat or scold you, but they can make fun of you, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.

Even if you, the emperor, really can't help but kill them, you won't lose much. They are all about to die anyway. If you really want to be killed by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty or the Wei family, it will just give them a bigger reason to cause trouble.

Wei Qing came here today to tell Wei Ning to take it easy and not to do anything outrageous.

Weining said helplessly: "Okay, I know the severity. Thank you uncle for reminding me."

Wei Qing shook his head and said, "It's nothing."

"Your Majesty has entrusted you with the governance of Southern Xinjiang, and you should do a good job. Governing Southern Xinjiang is the same as governing a country. There are many people who don't understand, so don't work behind closed doors, and don't slap your forehead before the policy is issued."

"You now have the highest will to rule southern Xinjiang, and many people are paying attention to every policy."

"This is about your ability to govern the country. You have many potential opponents waiting for you to make mistakes."

"Be careful and be serious."

"If you don't understand anything, feel free to ask me, do you know?"

Wei Ning was a little touched. Wei Qing's concern for him has never weakened. He is even better to me than to his own son.

"I see."

Wei Ning nodded seriously and asked Wei Qing, "How are you doing there, uncle?"

Wei Qing shook his head and said, "Not so good. Gongsun Jingsheng was dismissed from his post and your uncle was demoted."

"This is a good lesson for them. If Your Majesty really lets them go, I'm afraid they will do something even more outrageous in the future."

Wei Qing's analysis was correct. Gongsun Jingsheng, a pig teammate, even dared to embezzle tens of millions of military expenditures from the Northern Army. What else could he not dare to do?

There were many things that Wei Qing couldn't tell Wei Ning too directly. For example, he couldn't talk about Liu Huan's hostility towards Weining.

When Weining was governing southern Xinjiang, he gave Liu Huan a chance. As long as Weining made a mistake, Liu Huan would find an opportunity to attack.

While the uncle and nephew were talking, Zhao Ce came over and said, "Master Marquis, Your Majesty allows you to enter the palace."

"An eunuch came from outside. He said that several great scholars from Shandong have entered the palace."

"Your Majesty summoned many people to the palace."

Wei Qing glanced at Wei Ning and said: "Go ahead, remember not to be in the limelight, and let His Majesty handle matters by himself."

Wei Ning snorted and said, "I understand, then I'll go into the palace and have a look first."

Wei Qing hummed and said: "They really want to criticize the Wei family, so don't talk nonsense. You can't do anything to these old people. You are a junior, and whatever you say is not good for you. They will rely on their seniority to suppress you." , there’s nothing you can do.”

Wei Ning smiled: "I know, uncle, don't worry."
