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

Chapter 448 It is necessary to talk to Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty

Wei Qing sighed deeply and said to Wei Ning: "The war in the northwest has become increasingly tense recently."

"The Sixteen Kingdoms of the Western Regions did not compromise. I thought that this war would not last long, and the Han Dynasty would be able to destroy the Sixteen Kingdoms of the Western Regions."

"But the truth is completely different. The sixteen countries in the Western Region are still resisting tenaciously."

This was a scene that Wei Ning had expected. The big man was unknown and the combat effectiveness of the soldiers was bound to be low.

There are too many factors that affect a war. There is no bloody feud between the Han Dynasty and the Western Regions, unlike the Xiongnu.

When the Xiongnu were destroyed, the entire army was used with all their strength. Coupled with the invention of gunpowder, the war with the Xiongnu was a war outside the Great Wall, and the Han Dynasty had the advantage.

But how can it be so easy for you to enter other people's countries and fight in the Sixteen Kingdoms?
Of course, Wei Qing actually expected this result. He sighed: "Now the Western Regions have begun to send troops into Liaodong."

"If we mobilize troops from there, the troops there will inevitably be insufficient. If there are more troops in the northwest, they will mobilize troops to make a surprise attack in Liaodong, causing thousands of casualties in Liaodong."

"This battle is not easy to fight. All the officials in the court are trying to persuade your Majesty, but your Majesty is unmoved."

"After Sang Hongyang was dismissed from office, Dong Zhongshu was also dismissed."

"Not long ago, His Majesty asked Jiang Chong to set up a detective department, arrest a group of courtiers, and kill a dozen of them."

Wei Ning gasped in shock after hearing Wei Qing's words.

Jinyiwei?
He seemed to have seen Jin Yiwei's previous life!

Wei Qing took a deep look at Wei Ning and said, "If Your Majesty continues like this, the country will inevitably fall into chaos."

"No one can persuade His Majesty now. You should find a way to communicate with him."

Wei Ning thought for a moment, nodded, and said, "Okay!"

After he left Wei Qing's mansion, the minister of household affairs found Wei Ning again and cried to Wei Ning about the difficulties in the household ministry, praying to Wei Ning to let Sang Hongyang come back to take over the household ministry as soon as possible. He really was unable to continue to lead the household ministry.

Wang Zang of the Criminal Department also found Weining and begged him to persuade Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty to dismiss the Detective Department, saying that now all the officials were in panic and no one dared to work seriously.

In less than a year, the country seemed to be suddenly in chaos.

It is not easy for a country to become strong, but it is very fast to decline. As long as the monarch acts recklessly, the country will definitely decline quickly!
Zhang Tang, the imperial censor, also found Wei Ning and told him that when the censor inspected the army, he had discovered a number of people engaging in shameless behavior such as corruption, killing good people and taking merit, etc. in the army.

After hearing these words, Wei Ning gradually began to feel worried.

……

In Weiyang Palace, Jiang Chong informed Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty of all the people from the Ministry of Punishment, the Ministry of Husbandry, Wei Qing, and Yushitai who met with the prince in private.

"Your Majesty, the prince may have done something illegal."

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty glanced at Jiang Chong indifferently and said coldly: "You mean the prince is going to rebel?"

Jiang Chong cupped his fists and said, "I dare not make any judgments, but the current trend is..."

"fart!"

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty shouted loudly, covered his head and said angrily: "Get out!"

Jiang Chong was stunned for a moment, then hurriedly excused himself and left.

After Jiang Chong left, Wei Ning happened to meet Jiang Chong head-on. He stared at Jiang Chong with cold eyes.

Jiang Chong did not dare to look at Wei Ning and quickly prepared to leave, but was stopped by Wei Ning, slapped him in the face, and said indifferently: "How dare you be so rude?"

Only then did Jiang Chong react. He hurriedly clasped his fists in greeting and said, "I have met His Highness the Crown Prince."

"roll!"

Jiang Chong left angrily, his eyes becoming more sinister.

Wei Ning lifted up his robe and came outside the Qilin Hall and asked the eunuch to inform Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.

"Your Majesty, the Crown Prince is here."

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was stunned and said calmly: "Is he finally willing to come to see me? Let him in!" "I obey the order!"

Not long after, Wei Ning stepped into the main hall of Qilin Hall. He had not seen Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty for a long time. He found that Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was much older. He clasped his fists in greeting and said: "My son, I see you, Emperor Father."

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty said coldly: "Isn't this the Crown Prince of the Han Dynasty? You have come to see me unexpectedly. You make me flattered."

"Let me salute you. How am I worthy of accepting your salute?"

Wei Ning said neither humble nor arrogantly: "I don't dare."

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty smiled and said, "What are you afraid of?"

Wei Ning took a deep breath and said to Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty: "Father, the Detective Department must be withdrawn and the war in the northwest must be stopped."

"All the officials are in panic, the courtiers are fawning, and all the capable officials are silent and dare not speak out. If this continues, the country will be destroyed!"

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty stared at Wei Ning calmly and said, "Is this what you said to me?"

"Finished?"

Wei Ning nodded and said, "That's it."

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty said: "Then go back."

Wei Ning shook his head and said: "I always think that I was not wrong at the beginning. I don't know where I made my father unhappy."

"But I really think about you. Xu Fu's story is vivid in my mind. Pills will only be harmful to the body."

"Okay, even if you don't want to listen to me, the country is in chaos now, haven't you noticed?"

"Just because he was going to fight against the Sixteen Kingdoms of the Western Region. It's been almost a year. Has Li Guangli succeeded?"

"No, the weapons and equipment of the Han Dynasty and the quality of the army are so strong, why is it so difficult to defeat the Sixteen Kingdoms of the Western Region? They are far inferior to the Huns."

"Because this is counterproductive and we are covering up our own mistakes."

"Father, there is still a chance to save it, so let's punish ourselves."

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty stared at Wei Ning in astonishment, his expression very calm, but the anger was already burning in his heart, he spoke with a trembling voice, and said word by word: "You, come, you want me to issue an edict to sin against myself? "

Wei Ning nodded and said: "The country is in chaos, so there is nothing wrong with issuing an edict to punish yourself. Father... don't be stubborn. You must have felt the chaos in the country."

"You must also know why. I know you don't want to admit it. It doesn't matter. This sinner has ordered me to do it."

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty said coldly: "Get out!"

Wei Ning said: "Father, there is still a chance..."

"Get out!"

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty pointed at Weining and roared: "Do you really think that I dare not depose you as the crown prince?"

"You haven't been emperor for a day, but I am still the emperor of this great man!!"

Wei Ning took a deep breath and said: "I know that loyal advice is harsh to the ears and good medicine is bitter to the taste. You are the emperor of course, you always have been, and you can naturally decide everything."

"Do you really want this country to be ruined? Do you really want to burn all the hard work you've put into it?"

Emperor Wu of Han laughed loudly: "Well said!"

"Finished?"

"Come here! Come here for me! Tell the three provinces to depose the crown prince and crown prince!"

Wei Ning said neither humble nor arrogantly: "I can be deposed, but my father must not do anything wrong again."

"Arrest Gongsun Qing and interrogate him. If that doesn't work, hand the elixir to the Imperial Medical Office for further research. There is something wrong with this elixir."

"Get out!" Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty shouted sharply!
