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

Chapter 313 Sudden news

The autumn wind rustled.

When the officials of Bashang County received the decree from the Prime Minister's Office of Chang'an, the expressions of the local military and political officials turned dark.

Seeing the opportunity for Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty to be born, they reported the auspiciousness to them, but in the end they ended up like this. Not only was the auspiciousness beaten back, but the Prime Minister's Mansion also told them that an earth dragon would turn around in Bashang, causing Bashang to be defeated. Take strict precautions.

After finally seeing that the order was issued by the Crown Prince, the local governor did not even dare to complain.

There was nothing they could do. If it were the Prime Minister's Office, they would still dare to complain, but this is a government order issued by the country's crown prince, so how could they complain?

Regarding the experience of the legendary prince of the Han Dynasty, everyone among the local officials knew that he was a good hand on the battlefield, but in politics...

Everyone can only sigh in despair and hope that he will get better in the future.

It was obvious that the prince had no idea what kind of impact his casual words would have on the place.

What he himself cannot be sure of is that if the entire city of Ba Shang is put under martial law, the people of Ba Shang will not be angry with you, His Royal Highness, nor will they blame our government?

Naturally, the Bashang governor and the prefect did not dare to blatantly blame the current Crown Prince, but they naturally would not take the blame.

They asked people to spread the news privately, saying that it was the crown prince who requested martial law. In this way, the public complaints would be transferred to the court and have nothing to do with their local officials.

Bashang County has only been under martial law for one day, and the whole place is in panic, and the people are talking more and more. Especially when nothing happened on this day, they are even more critical of the court's decision.

……

Changan.

There were many memorials in front of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty's documents. Wei Ning sat next to Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty and studied political affairs. He looked at the memorials from Ba and pretended to ignore them.

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty glanced at him sideways and said, "It's the local officials who don't want to take the blame for you. This matter cannot be hidden. The people below all have their own ideas. No one is a mule. They will listen to their master in everything."

"Let's give him money, give him power, and give him an official position. He will be loyal and patriotic all day long and share your worries with you. If we really encounter difficulties, who wouldn't fly away when disaster strikes?"

"Now you know why I want to educate you. Don't speak out yourself for any decisions that are not beneficial to you. Let your officials speak, so that the fire will not burn you."

Wei Ning thought for a while and felt that this seemed irresponsible. However, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty did not think that this was a sign of irresponsibility. The monarch had to do too many things every day, the most important of which was to learn power. He believed that this was kingly power. kind of.

External Confucianism and internal law are combined with royal principles. This is the way of governing the country that Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty recommended to Wei Ning and the emperor of Han Dynasty.

Wei Ning studied humbly, but soon Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty frowned again. He looked at Wei Ning suspiciously and said, "Is this natural phenomenon you mentioned a precursor to the Earth Dragon turning over?"

Wei Ning nodded: "Yes? What?"

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty handed a memorial in his hand to Weining and said, "Take a look."

Weining took it. This was a memorial sent from the State of Zhao. The natural phenomenon of supremacy also appeared in Handan County in the State of Zhao.

If this is a sign of the Earth Dragon turning over, how big of an earthquake will happen to the north of Dahan this time?

That's why Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was skeptical. He didn't think that there would be earth dragons in so many places, and he would rather believe that Wei Ning's judgment was wrong.

Wei Ning's face became nervous.

There are several historical reasons for the final demise of the Western Han Dynasty. Land annexation under natural disasters, dictatorship of foreign relatives, and sunspots led to the spread of viral plagues!

Two of these are closely related to natural disasters.

The Han people's ability to withstand natural disasters is too weak. If they had not responded well this time and had only resumed peaceful development and population and economic development after the war, the Han people might have been set back decades because of this natural disaster.

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty looked at Weining and said, "You still want to order to go to Handan?"

Wei Ning nodded firmly: "I want to give the order, go to Handan!"

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty hesitated for a moment and asked Wei Ning: "Is there too much noise?"

He was not sure whether he should trust Weining now. From a family perspective, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty naturally trusted Weining without hesitation.

Weining brought him too many surprises. But this time he was a little hesitant. If he only wanted to dominate one place, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty could still allow Weining to make his own decisions.

Handan is the center of economic development in the entire north. If martial law is imposed in Handan, the economic development of the Han Dynasty will lag behind.

Wei Ning took a deep breath and said to Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty: "Father, I also know your thoughts. An economy that lags behind for a few days is much better than tens of thousands of people dying."

"What will happen if the earth dragon turns over?"

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was silent for a long time, still unwilling to make a decision. Even if Wei Ning begged him with desire, he still did not want Handan to be like Bashang.

"Father."

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty waved his hand and said, "Let's take a look at Bashang's situation."

Wei Ning said: "It will be too late by then!"

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty insisted on his opinion and said: "Let's talk about it then."

……

A few days ago.

Less than a hundred miles away from the border of Shu, Huo Qubing was stopped by the imperial edict of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.

He had no choice but to let the army move forward and continue into Shu Kingdom, while he stopped and rested here.

He really didn't understand what his uncle was doing. He was about to enter the Shu Kingdom. He had long heard that there was a rebellion by ethnic minorities in the Shu Kingdom.

Huo Qubing's hands were already itchy. He had been fighting in the desert for too long. He had never fought in a jungle like this before. He wanted to try it and was eager to give it a try.

But I don’t know what my uncle means? Why did you suddenly stop for a few days? do what?

Huo Qubing was resting at the inn out of boredom.

Thirty miles ahead, several soldiers in the cavalry suddenly began to stagger, and then fell heavily from their horses.

The crowd gradually began to spread, and the local doctor came with a veil and desperately informed the other party that he was infected with the plague.

The cavalry in the cavalry team told the doctor to go thirty miles back to the inn to inform Huo Qubing...

That night, Huo Qubing received the bad news that more than 30 cavalrymen and horses in the front had all died of the plague. This made Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty sad and broke into a cold sweat at the same time.

If...he went forward with the army, then now...

Just thinking about it made Huo Qubing shudder. At the same time, he was glad that Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty allowed him to rest where he was.

But he seemed to have thought of something, his eyes widened suddenly, and he said in shock: "How did uncle know that I would be in danger during this trip?"

"Did he deliberately let me rest here?"

Huo Qubing couldn't help but gasp.

……

Changan.

Weiyang Palace.

A soldier from the imperial army hurriedly ran towards the Qilin Hall. After arriving at the main hall, he clasped his fists and said, "Your Majesty, a letter from General Huo!"
