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

Chapter 476 The deposed prince

When Gongsun He informed Wei Qing about the resignation of the two ministers of the household department, Wei Qing's expression gradually solidified.

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty is getting more and more crazy!
Gongsun congratulated: "Your Majesty plans to directly promote all the officials in the household department in parallel to the officials in the three provinces."

"But the officials all refused."

"The two ministers of the Ministry of Revenue want to re-elect people, and the three provinces may not agree."

"If this goes on for a long time, the household department will definitely be in chaos."

Wei Qing was silent for a moment and congratulated Gongsun: "Then don't take any countermeasures. When the Hubu is in chaos, Your Majesty will definitely ask the two ministers of the Hubu to come back."

Gongsun He held a different view. He shook his head and said: "Your Majesty's temper is getting tougher and tougher. He may not let the two ministers return."

"There is a high probability that the Ministry of Revenue will be short of officials."

Gongsun He glanced at Wei Qing and said, "If this stalemate continues for a long time, the country will be in chaos!"

Wei Qing smiled and said: "Then let it be chaotic. If we give in this time, we will give in in everything in the future. He threatens us with chaos in the country, but this country belongs to his Liu family."

Wei Qing could already imagine that it wouldn't be long before the finances collapsed and people all over the world would rise up and rebel. By then, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty would send troops to suppress it. How much food would it cost? Will your treasury's balance be enough?

This was a game, and Wei Qing did not make any concessions.

"Go back. Don't come here in the near future. You can take control of many things by yourself."

Wei Qing looked at Gongsun He deeply and said, "Your Majesty may take action against you soon. Don't be impulsive. You must know how to mediate."

"Just learn from the previous dynasty's rule of inaction."

Gongsun He benefited a lot, clasped his fists and said, "I understand."

……

East Palace.

Wei Ning now knows the court's information only from Lao Zhang and Lao Li.

Officials in the imperial court basically did not dare to come to Weining, and it was difficult for Weining to know what had happened in the imperial court recently.

He sat in the study, with a deep expression on his face as he watched the two ministers of the Ministry of Revenue resign, and watched the grain trade in southern Xinjiang being torn apart, with his heart bleeding.

These were all built by him with his own hands, but now they collapsed because of a word from Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.

This is not the worst case scenario. The worst case scenario is that these decisions were actually made by Liu Huan.

Wei Ning wanted to let go, and the worst he could do was give Liu Huan the title of king, but thinking of Wei Qing's instructions to him, he stopped this idea.

Within a few days, Tian Qianqiu wrote to Weining.

He hoped that Weining could persuade the emperor to increase the economic income of South Vietnam, so that the economic cycle between South Vietnam and the cities in southern Xinjiang could be accelerated.

Now that Chang'an has refused trade with South Vietnam, Zhengxi has planned to close the country and no longer trade with the cities in the southern border of the Han Dynasty.

They can enter the Western Regions from the southwest. Although the journey is a bit far, they can do trade with the people of the Western Regions.

As a result, the people in the Han Dynasty's southern border lost their income and would inevitably come back to Chang'an.

Wei Ning understood the truth. It was not that Wei Ning had not considered these things that Tian Qianqiu had considered, but now he still had no right to speak in front of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.

But no matter what, Wei Ning had to use Tian Qianqiu's mouth to convey these words to Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty to let him know the seriousness of the matter.

……

Weining came to Weiyang Palace with his hands behind his back, and found Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty taking drugs in Yaomu Palace.

Wei Ning no longer stopped Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty from taking drugs. When Gongsun Qing saw Wei Ning's arrival, he seemed to feel guilty and left with fists in his hands.

Originally, the three of them were sitting and discussing Taoism, but after Wei Ning arrived, the atmosphere suddenly became a little weird.

Wei Ninghun didn't care. He came to Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty and clasped his fists and said, "Greetings to my father."

"Father, Tian Qianqiu has a letter from Nanyue. Please read it." Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty shook his head and said, "Just tell me what you said. I won't read it."

He covered his forehead and looked a little painful.

Weining didn't care about him, and said in a neither humble nor condescending manner: "The expedition to the west closed the country's gate to southern Xinjiang, and the trade between Han Dynasty and South Vietnam was suspended. Tian Qianqiu still requested your majesty to resume grain trade."

"The economic growth of South Vietnam will drive the economic growth of southern Xinjiang. Losing South Vietnam as a trading partner will outweigh the gains."

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty sneered but did not speak.

Liu Huan rushed to ask: "Nan Yue really regards himself as a character to threaten me, a big man?"

"If she wants to close the country, she should close it. It depends on whether she can withstand the backlash of the people in the country."

Wei Ning frowned, stared at Liu Huan indifferently, and said, "I am discussing politics with His Majesty, do you have the right to speak here?"

Liu Huan was stunned and looked at Emperor Wu of Han with an aggrieved look.

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty said angrily: "Liu Ning! How presumptuous! Who dared you to talk to your eldest brother like this?"

Wei Ning clasped his fists and said loudly and forcefully: "Your Majesty! When discussing state affairs, please call me Prince!"

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was also stunned for a moment, squinting his eyes and staring at Weining. With that overwhelming aura, anyone else would probably be as silent as a cicada at this moment.

But Wei Ning looked back at Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty with neither humility nor arrogance, clasped his fists and said: "Your Majesty, please consider Tian Qianqiu's proposal."

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty narrowed his eyes and said: "His Royal Highness? Then I will use your words to tell him to close the country in Southern Xinjiang!"

Wei Ning took a deep breath and said to Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty: "Your Majesty, the people who will be harmed most by closing the country are not South Vietnam, but my people in the southern frontier of the Han Dynasty."

"Your Majesty, please think again."

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty said: "I have thought about it carefully. Does the prince have anything else to do?"

Wei Ning slowly clasped his fists and said, "No more. Since His Majesty has already considered it, I will leave!"

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty glanced at Liu Huan lightly, turned and left in an arrogant manner, leaving only a cold memorial in the main hall.

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was breathing more and more rapidly, his face was twitching violently, and his eyes were full of anger. He bent down, picked up the memorial, and threw it away!
"It's against the sky!"

"He's rebelling!"

Liu Huan quickly pulled Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty and said: "Father..."

"roll!"

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty shouted: "Get out of here!"

He waved his large black dragon robe, his body was shaking violently, he covered his forehead with his hands, and said angrily: "I want to see how Southern Xinjiang rebels against heaven!"

"I want to see how harmful it is!"

"As long as I die, you will always be the prince!"

Do you think that with so many people in the court supporting you, I can’t deal with you?

"Someone is coming! Someone is coming!"

An eunuch came over, and Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty shouted loudly: "Depose the prince! Depose the prince!"

Liu Huan's face showed excitement and joy, but he still suppressed his emotions, intending to add fuel to Wei Ning's anger, and hurriedly came to kneel down in front of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty and said: "Father! Don't be impulsive, don't be impulsive! "

"The civil servants of the outer court will not let you depose the crown prince. Please think again, Your Majesty!"

Sure enough, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty said angrily: "Civil officials of the outer court! They are all my domestic slaves! They are all my slaves!"

"I am going to depose the crown prince today, let me see who dares to object!"
