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

Chapter 452 The traitor in the East Palace

East Palace.

Qi Juaner came to take care of Liu Jin's daily life as usual. The little guy is now six years old and will start school today.

Weining rarely takes care of the little guy these days. Today, he sent him to the back hall for school. He asked Liu Jin for Dade to tutor him personally.

Wei Ning glanced at the little maid behind him and said, "He didn't bully you, right?"

This little guy is very naughty and often likes to bully people in the East Palace.

Qi Juaner hurriedly said: "Go back to Your Highness, there is none."

She entered the East Palace a year ago, and was only about ten years old. She was well-behaved and sensible, and took good care of the little one.

Weining nodded and left with his hands behind his back.

But Wei Ning didn't know that this ten-year-old girl was arranged by Jiang Chong.

……

After Wei Ning entered the Imperial Medical Office, Chun Boren shook his head and said to Wei Ning: "Your Highness, these pills are the same as before, they are non-toxic."

"Both?"

"Ah."

Wei Ning frowned. Could it be that he really misunderstood Gongsun Qing.

He nodded and said, "I understand."

Weiyang Palace.

Military reports from the northwest and Liaodong continued to fly into Weiyang Palace.

Li Guangli's army was caught in the quagmire of war and had been blocked in the Sixteenth Kingdom of the Western Regions.

Because Liaodong increased its troops to the northwest, it became a weak point in defense, and Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty had to mobilize troops back from Korea.

But in this way, the Han's control over North Korea will inevitably become weaker.

This war has lasted for half a year. According to the current strength of the Han Dynasty, it should have defeated the sixteen countries in the Western Regions, but it ended up like this. This is something no one expected.

Although hundreds of officials were still trying to persuade Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty to stop fighting, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty still refused to listen. He planned to transfer Huo Qubing to the northwest.

Inside Weiyang Palace.

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty summoned Huo Qubing urgently.

"Uncle."

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty stared at Huo Qubing and said, "I will send you to the Western Regions! Cooperate with Li Guangli and defeat the Sixteen Kingdoms within half a year!"

Huo Qubing cupped his fists and said, "Okay!"

After Wei Ning heard the news, he hurriedly went to Huo Qubing's residence to find him.

"Cousin, my father wants to transfer you to the Western Regions?"

Huo Qubing said energetically: "I'm going to make meritorious deeds again!"

Wei Ning stopped him and said, "Cousin, don't go. I'm going to find my father."

Huo Qubing chuckled and said: "I survived in Northern Xinjiang, what can I do in the small Western Region? It's just that Li Guangli is too useless. Don't worry, I will be back in half a year."

Weining was always a little uneasy. The historical Huo Qubing probably died in the past few years.

"I'll go to Weiyang Palace first, wait for me, don't leave yet."

Huo Qubing said, "Okay."

Wei Ning hurriedly came to Weiyang Palace and met Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty at the Qilin Palace. He cupped his fists and saluted: "Father, do you want to send your cousin to reinforce Li Guangli?"

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty stared at Weining and said, "You must have something to do to come to me?"

Wei Ning was so anxious that he did not understand the meaning of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty's words and said: "Father, please take back your order and don't let my cousin go to the northwest."

"I feel a little uneasy. I'm afraid something will happen if my cousin goes to the northwest."

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty hummed: "He is a military general!"

"It is his fate and his honor to die in battle!"

"Is there anything else?"

Wei Ning hurriedly said: "Your Majesty! We can no longer fight in the northwest, stop it!"

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty stared at Weining, his face becoming more and more gloomy. He was no longer even willing to call me "Father". "Is there anything else?"

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty questioned Weining.

Wei Ning looked at the unfamiliar-looking Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty and said, "Don't let my cousin go to the northwest. I'm worried that something will happen to him."

"Just because you feel uneasy, you can't let him go to the northwest?"

"Go down."

Wei Ning wanted to say more, but Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty had already stood up and left.

Wei Ning hurriedly went to Huo Qubing's residence again and said, "Cousin, I told my father that he won't let you go to the northwest."

Huo Qubing looked disappointed: "Ah? Is that so? Okay then."

But as soon as he finished speaking, a sergeant came outside and said to Huo Qubing: "Master Marquis, Your Majesty wants you to set off now."

Huo Qubing: "..."

"I understand, please wait outside."

Huo Qubing looked at Weining in confusion and said, "Cousin, what's wrong with you?"

Weining shook his head and said, "I don't know, I always feel that you will be in danger."

Huo Qubing patted him on the shoulder, laughed, and said, "It's okay. How does the military strength of the Sixteen Kingdoms compare to that of the Huns?"

"I have defeated the Xiongnu, why are you still afraid of being able to conquer the Sixteen Kingdoms of the Western Region?"

"You may have been too stressed recently and thought too much."

"The relationship with your uncle hasn't eased yet?"

"It doesn't matter. When I come back from my service and my uncle is happy, I'll talk about it again and that's about it."

"You are doing well in Chang'an and waiting for my return."

"It's too late, don't say anything anymore, I'm leaving."

Huo Qubing got on his horse, looked back and waved to Wei Ning, and then quickly ran towards the distance.

Wei Ning looked at Huo Qubing's leaving figure, and then quickly walked towards Wei Qing's mansion.

"Uncle, my cousin has gone to the northwest."

Wei Qing hummed and asked in confusion: "Is there any problem?"

Wei Ning said: "I feel a little uneasy. I always feel that something might happen to my cousin. I have gone to find my father, but it's no use."

Wei Qing glanced at Wei Ning hesitantly and said, "You have been carrying a lot of burdens and thinking a lot lately. It's normal."

"It will be fine. He has a sense of proportion. Even the Huns did not defeat him, let alone the Sixteen Kingdoms of the Western Regions."

"The Sixteen Kingdoms have not been defeated in the past six months, not because they are so powerful, but because Li Guangli is too useless."

Wei Ning: "No."

He knew that Wei Qing and his thoughts were not on the same page, but he didn't know what to say.

Wei Qing thought for a moment and said, "If you are worried, I will tell the old guys in the northwest to take good care of him in the Western Region. Nothing will happen to him."

Wei Ning nodded heavily and said, "Okay!"

"Try to send as many people as possible to look after my cousin. If anything happens, let me know as soon as possible."

Wei Qing nodded and said to Wei Ning: "How did Gongsun Qing's pill turn out?"

Wei Ning said: "No problem."

Wei Qing thought for a moment and said, "Is it possible that he really has nothing to do with Jiang Chong, and you are too worried?"

He knew that Weining had been under a lot of pressure recently, otherwise he wouldn't have come to tell him about Huo Qubing today.

"Take some time to relax, take things one step at a time, and don't be suspicious."

Wei Ning sighed. He knew what Wei Qing was worried about, but he was really not suspicious. He really felt that there was a conspiracy surrounding him, and even Emperor Wu of Han was part of their conspiracy.

And Weining felt this very strongly, as if he was in a mess and just needed a thread to smooth things out, but he could never find the thread.

"I understand, uncle, I'm going back first."

Wei Qing hummed and said, "Have a good rest."
