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

Chapter 371 Worse Things

Weining finished handling today's court affairs and came to Jiaofang Hall in the evening.

Wei Zifu looked very tired. When Wei Ning saw this, he hurriedly said: "Fourth Yi Niang, are you okay?"

"Go and rest for a while, I will take care of your father."

Wei Zifu nodded and told Wei Ning about Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty's condition still did not improve. He was hot and cold at times, had no appetite, and his spirit was becoming increasingly depressed.

"Ning'er, Zhao Jieyu is not simple."

Wei Ning looked at Wei Zifu suspiciously and said, "What's wrong?"

Wei Zifu and Wei Ning are a family, so she naturally trusts Wei Ning. After telling Wei Ning about Zhao Jieyu's little thoughts just now, she said: "I don't know whether she did it intentionally or unintentionally. Anyway, I feel that this woman is not Simple."

Wei Ning hummed and said to Wei Zifu, "I understand. Auntie, don't do anything. My father is still ill."

Wei Zifu is certainly not a fool. On the contrary, she has rich experience in court struggles and is unlikely to make a mistake at this time.

She just asked Weining to be wary of Zhao Jieyu.

Wei Ning tiptoed to the bedside of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. The Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty looked very painful, his face had no energy, and his whole body was trembling slightly, even though he had been covered with many quilts.

Wei Ning touched Emperor Wu of Han's forehead. It was very hot and should still be burning.

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty woke up in a daze, looked at Wei Ning's concerned look, and comforted Wei Ning: "Minor illness or disaster, don't worry too much, I'm fine."

"Has the government affairs been dealt with?"

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty's voice was a little weak, completely lacking the majesty and momentum of the past.

Wei Ning took Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty's hand and said softly: "It's taken care of. I immediately blocked the news that you are seriously ill."

"No one in the outer court knows about your illness yet. I am afraid that there will be trouble in the palace, so I took matters into my own hands."

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty patted Weining's hand and said happily: "Well done, well handled."

"Tell me honestly, what disease am I suffering from?"

No one dared to tell Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. Wei Zifu hid it from Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, Zhao Jieyu had no access to such information, and Chun Boren did not dare to tell Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.

Wei Ning thought for a moment, then gritted his teeth and said, "Plague."

"It should have been infected in Hejian Prefecture. My uncle and cousin were both infected. There are also more than a thousand people in five villages in Hejian Prefecture who were also infected."

"Father, don't worry, the three provinces have mobilized people to control the spread of the plague."

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty slowly closed his eyes. When death came, even if he was the emperor, he could not help but start to be afraid.

Wei Ning felt his hands trembling slightly.

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was not old, he was in his prime. He was only in his mid-thirties this year, the age when a man is most magnificent.

Of course he knew how serious the plague was. With the current medical technology of the Han Dynasty, there was no way to effectively treat the plague. Everything was left to fate.

In other words, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was not confident that he could survive.

After a while, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty opened his eyes slightly, looked at Weining, and explained: "Everything in the Han Dynasty is going on the right track."

"Your current ability is enough to cope with daily government affairs. I know that you have a lively mind and many ideas, but you still need to be cautious and careful in governing the country."

"Zhao Zhou's political ability is quite satisfactory. I have found someone for you. There is a Huns named Jin Rixi in the horse prison. Although he is still very young, he is calm and capable in his work. You should train him well."

"The Tian Qianqiu you sent to Southern Xinjiang also performed very well in Southern Xinjiang and will be of great use in the future."

"Huo Qubing's younger brother Huo Guang is not bad either..." Weining gradually got a taste of it. It was obvious that Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was delivering his last words.

Wei Ning interrupted Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty and said, "When my father recovers, I will slowly tell you that my memory is not good and I cannot remember so many things and so many people."

"The Han Dynasty has not yet completely become rich and powerful. We, father and son, will definitely see the day when the Han Dynasty becomes rich and powerful. At that time, everyone will live and work in peace and contentment, and everyone will have books to read and money to spend."

"They will no longer be troubled by diseases, they will no longer be oppressed by the powerful, and they will live and work in peace and contentment. In those prosperous times, my father must accompany his sons to take a good look!"

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty had a sore nose and moist eyes. He asked Wei Ning weakly: "Will such a day happen?"

He didn't have any confidence himself. He didn't have confidence that the big man would develop into what Weining said, and he didn't have confidence that he could get through this.

Weining nodded heavily: "Yes! I will definitely do it!"

"Father, please take a good rest. Believe me, you will get better, for sure!"

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty closed his eyes, and there was a trace of tears in the corners of his eyes. Wei Ning carefully reached out and wiped away the tears from the corners of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.

He had never seen Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty cry. This Han emperor had always been decisive and strong and had never been weak. Wei Ning had never seen him like this.

I couldn't help but feel sad at this time.

As a father, he has never concealed his love for himself, and he does not hesitate to praise his outstanding son to outsiders.

He never scolded Weining loudly. Even if Weining did something wrong, he would not criticize him harshly. He would always tell Weining what he had done wrong and what he should do right with emotion and reason. .

He attached great importance to Weining's education and personally trained Weining step by step. When encountering difficulties, he always charged forward to protect Weining from wind and rain.

It is said that the Tian family is ruthless, but Weining could feel Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty's affection for him all the time.

It’s just a small plague, we can definitely get through it!
The sound of footsteps outside was heard, and Wei Ning hurriedly closed the curtain of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. His choked tears immediately subsided, and his majestic look returned to his face.

The young eunuch bent down and clasped his fists and said, "Your Highness, Prime Minister Zhao wants to see you."

"Let him go to Qilin Hall to wait for him."

"Here!"

After the young eunuch left, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty said: "It's so late. Zhao Zhou is not a person who doesn't understand the rules. I guess something happened. He can't make up his mind. Come over quickly."

Wei Ning nodded and said, "Okay! I'll go take a look there first."

After bidding farewell to Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, Wei Ning quickly arrived at the Qilin Hall. Zhao Zhou looked solemn and said to Wei Ning: "Your Highness, Chang'an... there is also a plague."

Wei Ning looked suffocated and looked at Zhao Zhou in shock: "Is it serious?"

Zhao Zhou said: "More than three hundred people have been infected, and the spread is very fast!"

Wei Ning immediately said: "Go and summon the six departments from three provinces to come over!"

"Here!"

The lights of Qilin Palace were lit all night long, and the plague in Chang'an shocked the entire empire.

The final result of the discussion was that the city of Chang'an was completely closed, merchants closed down, and merchants were stranded to prevent the plague from continuing to expand.

Although this will seriously affect Chang'an's economic operation and the country's fiscal and tax revenue, it is not the only solution.

If the plague continues to spread, it will be a huge disaster for the empire.

The chiefs of the three provinces and six ministries left Weiyang Palace in the middle of the night, and began to summon all officials overnight to return to the Yamen Office for duty.

Weining didn't sleep that night and summoned Chun Boren at Qilin Hall in the early morning.
