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

Chapter 463 Liu Huan returns
Liu Huan has disappeared from the stage of history for more than six years. He has been doing business in Jiangnan these years, and his business has been quite large.

Liu Huan was extremely excited when he heard that Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was going to call him back to the palace.

Over the years, he has been paying attention to the political trends of the court, and also learned that the relationship between Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty and Weining began to deteriorate.

My mother was right. I shouldn't have been anxious at first. My father was still young. Sooner or later, he and Weining would be separated.

It's just that he didn't understand this at the beginning. He thought that Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was too kind to Weining, and Weining's crown prince position should be certain.

So at first he couldn't listen to anything Ajiao Chen said, but now he understands how powerful his mother was.

Unfortunately, my mother was still too anxious.

Liu Huan clenched his fists, with a look of ferocity and excitement on his face. The past six years of accumulation have made him no longer the Liu Huan he was before.

He knew that his father asked him to go back this time, most likely to contain Weining. As long as he was not in a hurry and waited for the opportunity!

……

In August of the fifth year of Yuanfeng, Liu Huan returned to Chang'an from Jiangnan.

Wei Ning greeted Liu Huan in the south city of Chang'an. After seeing Liu Huan, Wei Ning nodded slightly, and Liu Huan also nodded and said, "I have met His Highness the Crown Prince."

Neither humble nor arrogant, his face is calm, and his city is very deep.

This is Weining's current evaluation of Liu Huan. It seems that he has really settled down a lot over the years.

After returning to the palace, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty rewarded Zhao Jieyu's Yaomu Palace to Liu Huan. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty personally hosted a banquet to receive Liu Huan tonight.

However, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty did not let Weining pass.

Wei Ning came to Wei Qing's mansion that night.

Wei Qing's face looked extremely solemn. Wei Qing naturally knew the news of Liu Huan's return. He asked Wei Ning: "What happened?"

"Why did Your Majesty suddenly recall Liu Huan?"

The current political situation makes Wei Qing increasingly opaque. It is obvious that the relationship between Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty and Wei Ning has eased after Huo Qubing's death.

But now, how does this situation look like it has eased?
Weining shook his head and said, "I'm checking, and I don't know why."

While he was talking, Li Ju hurriedly came from outside. When he saw Wei Ning, he was stunned and hurriedly clasped his fists and said, "I have met His Highness the Crown Prince."

Wei Ning pressed his hand and said, "Don't be polite. What's wrong?"

Li Ju said: "Since His Highness is here, it's just right."

"This time when your Majesty went to Northern Xinjiang, the people of Northern Xinjiang were all praising you, Your Highness the Crown Prince."

"Jiang Chong also praised you greatly, His Majesty."

Wei Qing and Wei Ning's expressions suddenly became solemn. Having been in politics for such a long time, Wei Qing and Wei Ning were well versed in the mysteries involved.

It seemed that Jiang Chong and the people in northern Xinjiang were praising themselves, but in fact they made Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty even more afraid of Weining.

Not only did the people side with the prince, but even the ministers around Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty began to favor Weining, which clearly shows how powerful Weining was now.

How could this not scare Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty?

If it were in the past, maybe it wouldn't be a big deal, but now Emperor Wu of Han's temper was becoming more and more difficult to understand. Huo Qubing's death briefly made him sober, but it was only for a period of time.

Now Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty began to become moody again.

Wei Ning took a breath. He looked at Wei Qing in shock and said, "When my father came back from Luntai a few days ago, I said that I would help him handle government affairs."

Wei Qing frowned and said, "No wonder it's like this!"

"He thinks you are still greedy for political power."

"That's why he summoned Liu Huan back. This will give another political signal to countless courtiers, allowing the courtiers who were not biased towards you to come back to their side, thereby ensuring the power in his hands!"

"What is he worried about? Why do I have the feeling that His Majesty is becoming more and more insecure, and is even afraid that you will harm him?"

Weining shook his head and said, "I don't know either."

"That's right, uncle." Weining paused and said, "I asked Uncle Zhang and the others to start building an intelligence network for me again."

"Maybe money may not be enough. If you have money..." Wei Qing nodded and said, "You don't have to worry about money. I'm here."

"Someone is weaving a big web for you behind your back."

"Is it Jiang Chong?" Wei Qing said bluntly.

Weining nodded and said, "It's very possible."

Wei Qing thought for a moment and said, "I'll think of a way to see if I can kill him to avoid future troubles."

Wei Ning said to Wei Qing: "Uncle, don't be impulsive. Do everything within your capabilities. My father is too sensitive now."

Wei Qing hummed and said, "I understand."

……

Infinite Taoism.

Jiang Chong laughed heartily and said to Gongsun Qing: "Look, Huo Qubing's death still hasn't awakened His Majesty's conscience."

"He was still on guard against his prince, so he summoned Liu Huan back."

Gongsun Qing took a breath and asked Jiang Chong, "What exactly did you say to His Majesty on the way to Luntai?"

Jiang Chong smiled and said: "I didn't say anything, but it just added fuel to the prince's mighty virtue and made his reputation among the people even higher!"

Gongsun Qing said: "The prince will not let you go. You should be careful."

Jiang Chong said indifferently: "Liu Huan is back, I have more chips, haha!"

……

Wei Qing's mansion.

After Wei Ning left, Wei Qing sat in the study and asked Li Ju, "How many more of us are there in the court?"

Li Ju said: "Many, many of the six departments are our people."

Wei Qing nodded, squinting his eyes and said: "First go and check for evidence of Jiang Chong's crime, no matter how big or small. Once you find it, have someone impeach Jiang Chong."

Li Ju scratched his head and said, "General, what are you doing?"

"It's impossible for him to leave any evidence for major crimes, and it's useless to impeach him for minor crimes. Your Majesty will not touch him."

Wei Qing shook his head and said, "I know your Majesty will not touch him."

"After Jiang Chong is impeached, you ask our people to protect Jiang Chong in the court."

"what?"

Li Ju widened his eyes and said, "Isn't this unnecessary?"

Wei Qing's eyes were deep and he said, "But it can make His Majesty suspect that Jiang Chong is Ning'er's man."

"Don't he like to say good things for Ning'er in Northern Xinjiang? Then add fuel to his fire and make him completely Ning'er's person!"

"Go to the East Palace and inform Ning'er, asking him to meet with Jiang Chong more often, and even reward him with some money."

Jiang Zhencheng, Chief of the Investigation Department, said that this organization was set up by His Majesty to supervise all officials, and it is also a knife that His Majesty hangs over the heads of all officials.

Jiang Chong must be deeply trusted by His Majesty to sit in this position.

What would your Majesty do if he knew that his most trusted confidant was now Ning'er's?
He won't kill his own son, so why doesn't he dare to kill you, Jiang Chong?

Wei Qing looked indifferent and said sternly: "Since he likes to add fuel to the fire, I will add some to him!"

"Does he really think his political skills are very good?"

"Then retaliate in kind! I want to see how you respond!"

"Do you really think my Wei family members can't touch you?!"
