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

Chapter 469 Still not as good as Wei Ning
Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty came to Yao Mu Palace upset.

Seeing Emperor Wu of Han's frown, Liu Huan hurriedly poured a glass of water for Emperor Wu of Han. Then he took the elixir and gave it to Emperor Wu of Han. He asked with concern: "Father, your head hurts again?"

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty shook his head and said: "The headache symptoms have been reduced a lot recently."

During this period, Gongsun Qing did not feed Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty any elixirs, so his symptoms were relieved. However, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty did not think about it. After taking the elixirs, Liu Huancai continued: "That is because the civil servants in the outer court are making trouble for the emperor again." ”

"Father, don't get angry with them. Running a country doesn't happen overnight. It's normal to have different opinions. Just adjust slowly."

"The child vaguely remembers that my father was not afraid of anyone in the past, and he could turn anything into chaos."

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty felt slightly uncomfortable when he saw Liu Huan caring about him. He originally planned to grant Liu Huan the title of King of Jiaodong, but none of the civil servants in the outer court agreed, and they all fiercely opposed it!

How could this make Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty happy?

But it's just to make my son a king, not a prince, so why impeach him so fiercely?
Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty took a deep look at Liu Huan and saw that he was busy pouring tea for himself again. He couldn't help but feel warm in his heart, so he asked Liu Huan: "Today's court meeting."

"The Ministry of Revenue said that the Ministry of War spends too much on military affairs and the country has too many redundant troops. What do you think?"

Liu Huan was shocked. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty had never told him about these political affairs before!
Today, you actually started to let yourself participate in government affairs?
Liu Huan began to think carefully. This was a test given to him by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. He must pass it smoothly!

Liu Huan pondered for a long time and then said: "The Ministry of War has too much military expenditure and the country is seriously redundant of troops. It would be better to reduce some of the troops."

"Now that my Han Dynasty is rich and powerful, and all the enemies in the neighboring countries have surrendered to the power of Heaven, my powerful Han Dynasty has made so many troops seem redundant."

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty nodded, looked at Liu Huan again, and said, "Do you have any other ideas?"

Liu Huan shook his head and said, "Father, isn't this okay?"

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty nodded: "Okay, I will let the three provinces of the Ministry of Husbandry and the Ministry of War work together to reduce the troops."

Liu Huan was overjoyed and excited. It seemed that this time he was recognized by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.

Actually it is not.

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty sighed in his heart. No matter how much he favored Liu Huan, Liu Huan and Weining's views on political affairs were not even the slightest bit different when it came to the country's major rights and wrongs.

Weining also gave suggestions for troop reduction, but took all the adverse consequences of troop reduction into consideration.

He really thought about the future of the soldiers all over the world, but Liu Huan only considered the interests of the country, but did not think about what to do with those soldiers who were laid off.

Compare the two and make a decision.

Even though he transferred Liu Huan back to the court, and even though he doted on Liu Huan every day, he could not shake Weining's position in the slightest.

He originally thought that recalling Liu Huan would hit Weining, but now he discovered that Weining firmly grasped every step he gave to Weining.

Now half of the people in the court are probably supporting Weining.

Thinking of this, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty felt more and more pain in his head, and his face turned pale as he covered his forehead.

Liu Huan was frightened and quickly said to Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty: "Father, are you okay?"

"Come on, hurry up and call the imperial doctor."

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty took Liu Huan's hand and said: "No need, it's an old problem."

"I'm going to take a rest."

"Okay! I'll help my father to rest."

"Ah."

……

winter solstice. It was snowing heavily. Early this morning, Wei Ning got up and went to Wei Qing's mansion. He followed Wei Qing towards Maoling. He first went to pay homage to Huo Qubing, and then to pay homage to Lord Wei Ping.

On the way back, inside the carriage.

Wei Ning informed Wei Qing about the meeting the day before yesterday.

Wei Qing squinted his eyes, as if he was asleep. After a long time, he opened his eyes and said to Wei Ning: "Your Majesty still has resentment towards you. As long as you don't make mistakes, so many ministers will be your backing."

Wei Ning sighed and said, "Uncle, this is also what I am most worried about. The more officials support me, the more my father will be afraid of me."

Wei Qing said: "If you are afraid, just be afraid. If you don't have the support of so many officials, your situation may be more dangerous."

He then sighed and said deeply: "What happened to Your Majesty? Why are you getting more and more drowsy as you get older?"

Wei Qing could only say these words to Wei Ning. The uncle and nephew could speak their own language behind closed doors without fear of being overheard by others.

Wei Ning was silent for a while and said: "It still has something to do with Gongsun Qing. There must be something wrong with those pills."

Wei Qing shook his head and said: "It's all speculation. You can't prove that there is something wrong with those pills."

As if thinking of something, he looked at Wei Ning and asked, "You still care about His Majesty and don't want anything to happen to him?"

Weining nodded.

Wei Qing said: "There is no need to take risks. The more you behave like this, the more disgusted His Majesty will be. Don't make it self-defeating."

"Now as long as you don't do anything, you won't make any mistakes and just wait quietly to ascend the throne."

Wei Ning hummed and said, "I understand."

……

When Weining returned to the East Palace, Sang Hongyang found Weining and handed over all the plans for the military system to Weining.

"Your Highness, how is it?"

The reform plans made by the two ministers, Sang Hongyang and Liu Quya, were both good. The birth of the government military system could effectively alleviate population pressure and free up more men to invest in production and business.

Serving as a soldier during wartime and working as a worker during leisure time is very suitable for the needs of the current military development of the country.

Wei Ning nodded and said, "It's not a big problem, but the salary system for soldiers needs to be improved."

"The reduction in military personnel will free up a large part of the finances and increase the salaries of soldiers at all levels."

There is no war in the country now, and large-scale wars will not break out in the future, so increasing soldiers' salaries is a practical solution.

Sang Hongyang's eyes lit up and he said: "Okay! I will go back and discuss it with Liu Shangshu again, and then show it to His Highness after I have made the changes."

Wei Ning shook his head and said, "You don't have to show it to me, just show it to your father."

Sang Hongyang was stunned for a moment and said hurriedly: "It was my carelessness. I shouldn't have come to see His Highness."

Sang Hongyang sighed deeply, wondering why His Majesty was like this. These things were proposed by Weining, just like the original tax reform.

Prince Wei is obviously well versed in these matters, so why not just let us negotiate with Prince Wei?
He thought for a while and told Wei Ning: "Your Highness, Liu Huan has entered the palace. Your Majesty may have just tested our bottom line in the court the day before yesterday, but he may not have the intention of sealing Liu Huan. You must be careful about Liu Huan."

"He is in the deep palace and has more contact with His Majesty. You have been living in seclusion recently. One thing is going down, the other is going up. If it goes on for a long time, it will not be a problem."

"If you have nothing else to do, go to the palace and take a look around. It's always okay to meet Queen Wei without seeing His Majesty."

Sang Hongyang was giving Weining advice.
