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

Chapter 376 Embarrassed Zhao Jieyu
Changan.

Wei Qing and Huo Qubing have completely recovered. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was seriously infected, but his health gradually improved after taking medicine.

He went to Qilin Hall and summoned Lu Chongguo, the minister of the Ministry of Industry. He asked Lu Chongguo to go to the Ministry of Household Affairs and allocated one million yuan to build a Taoist temple for Gongsun Qing in the center of Chang'an East City.

Lu Chongguo was embarrassed by such a large financial expenditure, but he did not dare to disobey Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.

However, a minister from the Ministry of Industry came out with his fists clasped and said to Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty: "Your Majesty, do you want to inform the crown prince about this matter?"

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was slightly startled.

Lu Chongguo turned around suddenly and looked at this servant who didn't understand the rules, his face filled with murderous intent for a moment!
To be able to sit in the high and powerful position of a third-grade minister, the other party is naturally not a fool.

But why did he suddenly say this in front of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty?

Isn't this pushing the new prince towards the fire pit?

He has a grudge against the crown prince?
Lu Chongguo thought a lot for a while.

What did the emperor think when he heard these words in his eyes? He is still alive and still the emperor. As long as he does not die for a day, Wei Ning will be the prince!

Now your officials actually regard Weining as the master of this country. This is not helping Weining, but obviously trying to frame him!
Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was silent for a moment and said with a smile: "There is no need to inform the prince, the Ministry of Industry will do it."

"According to the order!"

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty glanced at Lu Chongguo and the Minister of Works indifferently, and immediately left the Qilin Hall accompanied by the eunuchs.

Lu Chongguo gave the Minister of Industry a thoughtful look and immediately went to do his errands.

At noon that day, Lu Chongguo went to the East Palace and told Weining exactly what happened in Qilin Hall this morning.

After Wei Ning heard this, his brows furrowed slightly, and he asked Lu Chongguo: "The Minister of Industry is your man, what is his name? Where did he come from?"

As soon as Lu Chongguo finished speaking, Weining noticed something unusual.

He didn't get angry and calmly asked for directions to Chongguo.

Lu Chongguo said hurriedly: "Back to Your Highness, this person's name is Yan Boqi, a native of Yan. He was promoted to the position of Minister of the Ministry of Industry last year."

There was only so much he could know.

Wei Ning hummed, nodded and said, "I understand."

Lu Chongguo said to Weining worriedly: "Your Highness, the Ministry of Household Finance is running low. If we only allocate a million dollars to build Taoist temples... I think it is really unnecessary."

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was not in power during this period, so he naturally didn't know that the country was spending money like water. One million dollars was not much, but building Taoist temples seemed a bit extravagant.

Wei Ning thought for a moment and said, "Just do what your father wants."

"According to the order."

After Lu Chongguo left, Wei Ning twitched his face and said to his left and right: "You guys go to my uncle's house and let my uncle find out where the Minister of Industry came from."

He was definitely not as simple as he appeared, and he would never say such words in front of Emperor Wu of Han without any thought.

This is revenge with a purpose.

Weining had to guard against any disturbance in politics.

He was still just a prince. When Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was ill, he could handle state affairs on behalf of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, but not now!

After Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty is cured, political power will be returned to the emperor.

He couldn't kill a third-grade minister casually, but he needed to know the other party's background and nip it in the bud.

After everything was done, Weining walked to the harem.

Zhao Jieyu was walking in the back garden with Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.

After seeing Weining, Zhao Jieyu deliberately said to Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty: "Your Majesty is getting better and needs to move around more. Please follow your Majesty to the gate of Nancheng for a walk."

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty smiled and said: "Okay, you go and get two pieces of clothes."

"According to the order." After Zhao Jieyu left, Wei Ning followed Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty to the pavilion. He poured a sip of tea for Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, cupped his fists and said, "Father, are you feeling better?"

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty nodded: "Many."

"Thanks to Gongsun Qing for your prayers."

Wei Ning was silent for a moment, thought for a while, and said, "Now that my father is in better health, my son can also relax."

"My father is not around these days, and I am really tired. I still don't know how to deal with many government affairs."

Just now Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty said that thanks to Gongsun Qing's prayers, Wei Ning actually gave him medicine. Now Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty does not know the external situation, but he only mentioned Gongsun Qing's contribution and not Wei Ning's. It is nothing more than beating him. Weining.

At least that's what Weining thought.

How could the emperor of a country be willing to relinquish power to his own son?

He is still young.

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty looked at Wei Ning with a half-smile, and asked, "Do you know about the Minister of Industry?"

Wei Ning said hurriedly: "My son overstepped his bounds and asked about some information when I went to handle government affairs."

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty smiled and said: "I have sent Zhang Tang to collect evidence of his crime. If he is guilty, he will be killed. If he is not guilty, Zhang Tang will concoct a crime and kill him."

"I'm not confused yet, can I not know that he is dealing with you?"

"It seems that you have made a lot of enemies these days, which is a good thing. If you don't make enemies, it means you have failed."

Wei Ning looked at Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty in confusion.

No, it didn't sound like he was afraid of himself when he heard what he said.

Did he really think that Gongsun Qing's blessing for him had an effect?
If it was just like this, Weining wouldn't worry anymore.

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty said to Wei Ning: "Don't think so much. I haven't been greedy for power to this extent. I have been in power for so many years and it's time to take a break."

"Do your job well and let me train for a while."

Wei Ning hurriedly clasped his fists and said: "I obey the order."

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty pondered for a moment and then asked Weining: "If we allocate millions of dollars to build Taoist temples, does it mean that the Ministry of Finance is not well-off?"

"What do you think?"

Wei Ning hurriedly said: "It is worth spending no matter how much money you spend to pray for your father."

While they were talking, Zhao Jieyu had already walked over with a cloak. Wei Ning left without disturbing Emperor Wu of Han and Zhao Jieyu, clasping his fists and leaving.

Zhao Jieyu accompanied Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty all the way to the southern part of the imperial city.

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty said to himself: "I don't want to spend so much money. If Gongsun Qing can pray for me, it will definitely bring peace to the people of the Han Dynasty."

Zhao Jieyu followed and said: "Yes, Your Majesty, Immortal Gongsun is very capable, so he can't live without a place to practice. There is nothing wrong with spending some money to build a Taoist temple for him."

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty hummed, but soon narrowed his eyes. He looked at the Chang'an Street in confusion, with a slightly sullen expression on his face, and said, "Why are all the people allowed to come out during such a great epidemic?"

Standing at the city gate and looking out, Chang'an Street has a panoramic view. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty could naturally see the bustling Chang'an City.

He said indifferently: "Go and summon Zhao Zhou to me! Is this how he, the prime minister, assists the government?"

Not long after, Zhao Zhou came to the gate of Nancheng with hurried steps, clasped his fists and said to Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty: "I am here to see you, Your Majesty."

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty stared at him coldly, pointed at Chang'an Street and asked, "What's going on over there?"

Zhao Zhou: "Huh?"

What's going on? Aren’t they all ordinary people over there? People in the city are walking around in the streets. Is there any problem?

Zhao Zhouyi looked puzzled.
