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

Chapter 462 Jiang Chong’s Game
Jiang Chong had already established control in the northwest and northern Xinjiang.

No matter whether Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty came to the important town in northern Xinjiang or to the northwest, he could hear the people praising the prince.

And this is indeed the case. The people of the northwest are grateful that Weining is indeed greater than Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.

Basically all the people in Northern Xinjiang have reaped the dividends from trade in the Western Regions.

If Jiang Chong and Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty only opened up economic and trade exchanges with the Western Regions from the national level, then Weining opened up economic and trade exchanges between the Han Dynasty and the Western Regions from the common people's level.

During his time in power, Weining attached great importance to trade between the northwest people and the Western Regions. The cultivation of cotton was the basis for trade between the northwest people and the Western Regions.

A lot of money can be made every year just from cotton planting, and Weining also opened up the tea market in Sichuan and Shu, and sent it to the Western Regions to make the people richer.

All because of a war fought by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, the people lost everything.

Coupled with Jiang Chong's fanning the flames, there was a scene that people in northern Xinjiang towns are talking about today.

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty stopped Jiang Chong from arresting people. His face was expressionless and his mood could not be seen.

But Jiang Chong felt that Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty had emotions in his heart at this time.

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty smiled and said to Jiang Chong: "The people are right. My son is excellent, so I am naturally happy. I did do stupid things before."

Jiang Chong hurriedly began to lick Weining and said: "Back to Your Majesty, His Royal Highness is indeed wise and powerful. Everything he controlled in Northern Xinjiang and Jiangnan has greatly benefited the people."

The surrounding officials such as Lord Fuyan and Dong Zhongshu looked at Jiang Chong with disdain.

When Prince Wei fell out of favor, he never praised Wei Ning.

Now that he learned that Wei Ning was back in charge of the country, he immediately started to lick Prince Wei hard again. This is really shameless!
How could Jiang Chong not see their attitude towards him?

Ha ha.

Jiang Chong sneered in his heart, maybe they don't know what they are going to do, right?

Do you really think that you are praising Weining now because I am licking him?
This will only make Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty think that the people around him have now turned to Prince Wei, which will make Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty even more jealous!

What a bunch of idiots!
Do you really think that political struggle will be so easy and simple?
I'm irritating Prince Wei.

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty smiled a little stiffly. Although he admitted his fault, he felt even more uncomfortable in his heart.

The team continued to march north and arrived at Luntai in early July.

Early that morning, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty worshiped heaven in Luntai, and issued an edict to punish others all over the world.

Only some people knew that this edict was issued for Huo Qubing.

Go sick... I'm sorry for you.

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty looked up to the sky and sighed, feeling extremely regretful. In mid-July, he began to return to Chang'an.

……

In this month, Weining has become familiar with government affairs and made policy adjustments.

The focus of Jiangnan's development is still business. Due to its favorable geographical location, Jiangnan's current fiscal and tax revenue has begun to far exceed that of the north.

Liaodong began to develop animal husbandry, and horses were still the war mounts that the Han Dynasty desperately needed.

The Northwest Silk Road still continues the previous general policy.

By the end of July, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty's team arrived in Chang'an.

On the first day of August, Weining found Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty and returned all the government affairs to Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty fully accepted the government of the Han Dynasty. Wei Ning tentatively asked Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty: "Father, how are you doing?"

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty shook his head and said: "Same as before."

Wei Ning thought for a while and said to Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty: "Do you need me to help you with some government affairs?" Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was stunned for a moment, took a deep look at Wei Ning, and said with emotion: "You still know how to be considerate of my father."

"The people from the household department can help me deal with it."

"There are many financial problems that I still don't know how to deal with without you."

After a pause, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty said: "When Gillian intended to kill me, do you think Liu Huan was involved?"

Ok?
Wei Ning was stunned for a moment, thought for a moment, and said, "It shouldn't be possible."

He didn't know why Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty suddenly asked this, but Liu Huan had now been demoted to a commoner, and Wei Ning couldn't add insult to injury at this time anyway, so he found a calmer explanation.

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty nodded and said: "When I went to Northern Xinjiang this time, many people said that I was stupid and heartless..."

Wei Ning hurriedly clasped his fists and said: "Father, the people don't know your hard work and layout, they don't understand the inside story..."

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty pressed his hands and said with a smile: "It doesn't matter. What they said is right. I am really ignorant about the northwest military."

"I am indeed heartless. You are my biological son, but I don't trust you. This is not heartless."

Wei Ning took a deep breath. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty finally began to reflect on himself. Before Wei Ning could open his mouth to comfort Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, he said: "There are mistakes that need to be corrected, and so does the emperor."

"Then let Liu Huan be recalled to the palace. I can be considered as showing some kindness to this eldest son, so that outsiders will not say that I am too heartless."

Wei Ning looked at Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty in shock. He hurriedly said: "Father, this..."

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty said suspiciously: "What's wrong? He is also your brother. Didn't you say that he didn't make any big mistakes?"

"It was his mother who rebelled, not him. I have also reflected on this issue and whether I should implicate him. I was too impulsive at the beginning."

"No, this is a serious crime of treason. If Liu Huan is recalled at this time, how will he handle himself?"

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty said: "I know that you are considerate of him. As for how he handles himself, let him see himself."

"The life I gave him with good food and clothing can be regarded as a gift to him."

Wei Ning said: "If my father is kind to me, I can go to the people to reward him."

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty looked at Wei Ning and said, "He will not threaten your position."

"You are already the prince. If there is no big mistake, how could I depose you?"

Wei Ning's eyes widened suddenly. He suddenly felt that Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty still had a grudge against him, otherwise why would he say these things.

What happened to him during this trip to northern Xinjiang?
Why did Liu Huan suddenly have to be summoned back to the palace this time?

Weining is now in a dilemma. If he persuades Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty not to recall Liu Huan, this will undoubtedly mean that he is narrow-minded and confirms what Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty said. He is afraid that Liu Huan will seize power.

If Liu Huan is called back, this will undoubtedly be a huge threat to himself.

He should have been killed long ago!
Wei Ning was silent for a while, clasped his fists and said, "Since my father is so grateful, I naturally agree with everything he says."

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty hummed and said, "In that case, I will leave this task to you."

"Go and pick up Liu Huan."

He was afraid that I would harm Liu Huan, so he asked me to pick Liu Huan back in person to ensure Liu Huan's safety.

Wei Ning took a deep look at Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, clasped his fists and saluted, "I understand."

"Father... I have resigned."

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty hummed and said, "Go ahead and bring Huan'er back as soon as possible."

"Here!"
