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

Chapter 386 Laying out the future
Late at night, in the North City of Chang'an, Wuliang Taoist Temple.

The Taoist temple was built in the autumn and August of the fifth year of Yuanshou. It is a quiet place amidst the bustle and is close to the imperial city.

After Jiang Chong was off duty, he came to the Taoist temple and found Gongsun Qing.

Gongsun Qing has gained the trust of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty recently, and he did not use any weird things to prove his magical powers.

There have been warlocks who have done these things before, such as hiding heavenly books in the bellies of scalpers, and hiding heavenly secrets in jade articles from the Warring States Period.

Anyone who used these tricks to deceive Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty would eventually overturn.

Gongsun Qing was smarter and took a different approach. He only talked about ideas and theories with Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, talked about the weird things in the Tao Te Ching and the Classic of Mountains and Seas, and used ancient books to prove his theory of immortality.

This way he would never fall over, and because of this, he was trusted by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.

Gongsun Qing had a serious face and said in a low voice: "Your Majesty still believes in the way of eternal life."

"Zhao Jieyu has also established a foothold in the palace, and Queen Wei's favor is gradually replaced by Zhao Jieyu."

Gongsun Qing talked to Jiang Chong about the affairs in the palace little by little.

He is actually very satisfied now. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty trusted him, gave him food and clothing, and strongly supported him in developing Taoist ideas.

He also knew what Jiang Chong and Zhao Jieyu were thinking. Jiang Chong and Zhao Jieyu wanted to deal with the crown prince.

But how can it be so easy to deal with a former crown prince? If you don't do it right, you will end up with your head on the ground.

Gongsun Qing didn't want to get involved in their affairs. He just wanted to develop his Taoist ideas steadily and let more people accept Taoist ideas.

Now that he has strong support from Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, he does not want to cause trouble anymore.

Jiang Chong seemed to know what he was thinking, and smiled and said to Gongsun Qing: "Do you know how Li Shaoweng died?"

"It was not His Majesty who killed him, it was the Crown Prince who killed him."

"The Crown Prince has always been opposed to Your Majesty trusting these godly things. Do you really think you will be fine if you don't provoke him?"

"You are doing this now because His Majesty supports you. What if His Majesty dies? Can you still be stable? Can you still realize your ideals?"

"Taking a step back, if His Majesty knows your identity and knows that I bribed you and defrauded him of his trust, what will be your fate?"

"You've boarded this ship, gained incredible wealth, and still want to get off? How can it be so easy?"

Gongsun Qing shuddered, the corner of his mouth twitched slightly, and asked Jiang Chong: "Why on earth do you have to deal with the crown prince?"

"What is your identity? You are just a small household doctor. If anything goes wrong, you will be in danger!"

Zhao Jieyu wanted to deal with Wei Ning, but Gongsun Qing could still understand. After all, her father was killed by Wei Ning.

But what about you?
Jiang Chong sighed: "You asked a good question. Why do I want to deal with the crown prince? Because as long as he ascends the throne, all of us will die!"

"But don't worry."

Jiang Chong continued: "I won't do anything for a long time. I'm waiting for an opportunity, waiting for an opportunity."

Now Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty deeply trusted Weining, and obviously he would not be stupid enough to offend Weining now.

But what about the future? Weining will always make mistakes, and Zhao Jieyu's children will always grow up. As long as Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty does not die early, everything will have a chance.

So Jiang Chong planned to lie dormant for a long time, waiting for an opportunity.

Gongsun Qing breathed a sigh of relief, that's good, maybe Wei Ning will be on the throne by then.

As long as you don't cause trouble now, the Crown Prince won't cause trouble for himself.

Jiang Chong said to Gongsun Qing: "Look for an opportunity to tell Zhao Jieyu, inform her of my thoughts, and tell her not to mess around. She only needs to win the favor of the emperor in the harem."

As long as Zhao Jieyu is favored more and more, Wei Zifu's power will fall aside, and the power of the Wei family will be weakened little by little.

Wei Ning's biggest reliance in the court was the Wei family.

Gongsun Qing nodded and said, "Okay, that's not a problem."

...harem.

Tonight Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty went to Yao Mu Palace again, and Wei Zifu saw everything.

Yao Mu Palace.

Zhao Jieyu brought the medicinal soup to Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty and said to him: "Your Majesty, please drink some cold medicine."

"The queen cooked this for you herself."

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty said suspiciously: "The queen cooked it? Why do you put it here?"

Looking at the blisters on Zhao Jieyu's hands, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was thoughtful.

Zhao Jieyu said: "Your Majesty... this... Your Majesty, please forgive me, I lied."

"Your Majesty has not been to the Queen for a long time. It's time to go to Jiaofang Palace to accompany the Queen."

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty took a deep look at Zhao Jieyu and seemed to understand something.

She was afraid that Wei Zifu would retaliate against her, or that Wei Zifu had already threatened her.

Is that why she wants to speak for Wei Zifu?

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty nodded and said, "I understand, so I won't spend the night at your place tonight."

Watching Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty leave, Zhao Jieyu had a slight smile on her lips.

Her offensive against Wei Zifu officially begins tonight!
A maidservant hurriedly came to Zhao Jieyu and said, "Your Majesty, this is a letter from Taoist Master Gongsun."

Zhao Jieyu groaned, opened the letter, and saw Jiang Chong scoffing at Gongsun Qing's reminder to her.

coward!

What you dare not do, I dare!
……

Inside the Jiaofang Hall.

When Wei Zifu saw Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty arriving, his face suddenly beamed with joy. He personally greeted Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty and said, "Your Majesty, are you here?"

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty glanced at her slightly and said, "If you don't come again, are you afraid that your harem will be disturbed?"

Wei Zifu was stunned for a moment, thinking that Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty had just come out of Yao Mu Palace, he suddenly thought of something and blurted out: "Your Majesty, don't listen to Zhao Jieyu's nonsense. I have never bullied her."

It must be Zhao Jieyu who complained to His Majesty, otherwise Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty would not question himself like this.

But Wei Zifu also truly felt the change in Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty's attitude towards him during this period.

Ever since Zhao Jieyu entered the palace, she could clearly feel Zhao Jieyu's hostility towards her. Does she want to replace him? !

But Wei Zifu's words fell into the ears of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, which further confirmed her guilty conscience.

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty said calmly: "She didn't say anything bad about you. She even didn't hesitate to cook a bowl of medicinal soup for me, saying that you cooked it for me."

"I just stayed at her place for a few more days. Why are you so jealous?"

Wei Zifu looked at Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty in shock, suddenly feeling that he had become so strange, and murmured: "Am I... jealous?"

Wei Zifu took a deep breath and said hurriedly: "Your Majesty, I am in the wrong body."

She knew that Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty would not trust anything she said now, and if she refuted it, it would make Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty hate her even more.

After so many years of married life, Wei Zifu knew the stubborn temper of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty very well.

So she didn't intend to argue and admitted it openly. Even though she had never done any of this, she still admitted it.

More than ten years of political career have taught Wei Zifu how to be patient and how to deal with his enemies preemptively!
