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

Chapter 480 Crisis
Too many things happened in the past few days and progressed so fast that Wei Qing didn't have time to digest it.

As if overnight, all the forces in his court collapsed, and all his informants disappeared.

When Wei Junru came to find Wei Qing, Wei Qing naturally knew that Gongsun He and others had been sent to prison by the Detective Department.

He also has a headache now. The power in the government has collapsed overnight. Even if he wants to take action, he can no longer find anyone to take action.

He really didn't expect that Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty would be so impulsive, without caring about the overall situation, as if he was possessed by a demon.

Wei Qing pressed his hands and said to Wei Junru: "Sister, I know you are anxious, but don't be anxious yet."

"I'm trying to figure this out. You go back first."

Wei Junru nodded. Now the backbone of the Wei family is undoubtedly Wei Qing. After Gongsun He was imprisoned, he could only wait for Wei Qing to deal with it.

"it is good!"

After Wei Junru left, Wei Qing thought for a long time. He had withdrawn from the court, and now only Wei Ning could save Gongsun He.

But if he went to find Weining now, he would undoubtedly be caught by the Detective Department, and then frame him for conspiring with the prince. It would be unclear.

So no matter what, Wei Qing couldn't harass Weining.

But without Weining now, how can we rescue Gongsun He and the others?
Wei Qing's thoughts were very confused. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was now on the verge of going crazy and could no longer test his bottom line.

No matter what happens, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty would not be so crazy as to kill Gongsun He and Sang Hongyang.

All Wei Qing can do now is to wait quietly for when Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty will take the initiative to release Gongsun He and his party.

Of course, he was more worried about Weining.

I'm afraid that Weining will do something else to irritate Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. At that time, Gongsun He and the others will be the real danger!
……

East Palace.

Weining sat in the pavilion, drinking tea quietly. After autumn, the weather became slightly colder.

Qin Ziyu found Wei Ning holding a cloak, put a shirt on Wei Ning, and asked, "What happened?"

Wei Ning's face was deep, and he nodded and said, "Father, I arrested my uncle and the others."

"One is the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, one is the Minister of the Ministry of Rites, one is the Minister of the Ministry of Hubu, and two are the Ministers of the Ministry of Hubu."

"All of them have been punished and are now being held in the prison of the Ministry of Punishment."

Qin Ziyu was stunned for a moment. She had always known that there was a rift in the relationship between Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty and Wei Ning, but she didn't expect it to be so serious.

These people are undoubtedly loyal ministers who support Weining. Now that they are all imprisoned, it is undoubtedly a political signal sent by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty to Weining.

Qin Ziyu is very smart, but he usually doesn't ask about these things.

Wei Ning motioned Qin Ziyu to take a seat, and then said to Qin Ziyu: "I can't go find my uncle now. There will be a lot of people in the Detective Department outside. If I go to find my uncle, I might get in trouble with him."

"Then how should I save these people?"

Wei Ning's face was deep and he asked Qin Ziyu. He had been sitting in the pavilion thinking for a long time and couldn't come up with a good idea, so he asked Qin Ziyu.

"My uncle definitely wants me to rescue my uncle."

"He can't take action now, but after thinking about it for a long time, I don't know how to rescue them."

Seeing Wei Ning's sad face, Qin Ziyu smiled and said, "My lord, if you care, you will be in trouble."

"If you don't know how to rescue, then don't rescue."

Ok?
Wei Ning glanced at Qin Ziyu suspiciously and asked, "What do you mean?"

Qin Ziyu said: "Whether it is you or General Wei who takes action now, it will irritate Your Majesty even more." "I don't think there is anyone who would rather you come to rescue me. Then I will convict you all together."

"As long as you don't rescue them, can Your Majesty still kill Lord Gongsun and the others?"

"No, the officials all over the world are watching. No matter Gongsun He or Sang Hongyang, as long as they have not committed a major crime such as rebellion, Your Majesty will not deal with them too harshly. No matter how crazy they are, they will not lose their minds."

"If you take action, you will make Lord Gongsun and the others suffer."

"Let them stay in prison for a while. His Majesty will definitely find a way to release them."

"If we don't let him go, the world's literati will be punished by words, and officials will be dismissed from office... With so many bureaucrats, it is impossible for so many officials to watch Gongsun He and others being killed innocently."

"If you can kill Gongsun He and the others today, will you offend other officials tomorrow? You don't have to take action. Officials all over the world will unite."

Weining's eyes lit up. His wife was right. The more you do now, the more dangerous it is. The more you do nothing, the safer it is.

Qin Ziyu sighed, looked at Wei Ning, and said worriedly: "Ms. sir, I shouldn't care about your affairs, but there are some things I have to say."

"I also hope you won't blame me for being nosy."

Wei Ning shook his head and said, "No, what's wrong?"

Qin Ziyu said: "The relationship between you and His Majesty is getting farther and farther away, and one day it will break down. At that time, either you will do something to His Majesty, or His Majesty will do something to you."

"Right now, His Majesty is just removing your wings and has not done anything to you yet, but this day will come sooner or later."

"What should you do then?"

Weining slowly closed his eyes. It was not impossible. It was not that he had not thought about what to do when the time came.

As Qin Ziyu said, his relationship with Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty has now reached a freezing point. Even Huo Qubing's death has not brought back this broken relationship.

Regardless of whether Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty took too many drugs, or he became confused and suspicious because of his old age, Weining had to consider this possibility. What should he do when that time comes?
I don't have any military power now. I only have Uncle Zhang and Uncle Li's civilian intelligence agencies. Naturally, these people cannot penetrate into the military's forbidden army.

If he wanted to make friends with the Forbidden Army now, it would probably make Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty even more afraid.

When that time comes, how should I protect myself?

Or is it just the opposite?

Hey, Weining sighed deeply. He never thought that things would reach this point before, but now he has to think about this possibility.

Qin Ziyu said softly: "I just said this. My husband, please think carefully. I will support you no matter what you do."

After a moment of silence, Qin Ziyu said again: "I also heard from my husband that Liu Huan is back."

"No one knows whether Liu Huan is causing trouble in these matters."

"But what is certain is that now that Liu Huan is back, my husband will no longer be the only choice for His Majesty."

As long as he has a second choice, there is a possibility that Weining will be completely destroyed.

After Qin Ziyu finished speaking, he said no more and Shi Shiran left, leaving Wei Ning sitting alone in the pavilion in a daze.

……

Weiyang Palace, it’s late at night.

Liu Huan sat quietly in front of the papers in the Qilin Hall and reviewed the memorials. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty lay on the soft couch inside the hall without saying a word, as if he was asleep.

After an unknown period of time, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty suddenly spoke.
