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

Chapter 497 Dong Zhongshu dismissed from office

After Liu Quyou received the news, no matter how much he obeyed Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty or how much he flattered Emperor Wu of Han, he was still unwilling to kill Wang Hui.

Now that Wang Hui is in the northwest, he is already very old. If he is really killed, he, the Minister of War, will be impeached by many people.

The Han Dynasty valued filial piety, and Wang Hui was very old. If he was killed again, what would the people of the Han Dynasty think? What will readers think?
Dade has already died. If Wang Hui dies again, the big man will be completely in chaos.

And to say the least, it was your Majesty who ordered Wang Hui to take the initiative to attack.

When Wang Meng’s letter came last time, didn’t you think about it? Why did Wang Meng mock you? Do you really have nothing in mind?

The Crown Prince also advised you not to take the initiative to attack, otherwise you might lose the battle. Did you listen?

Now that there is a problem in the northwest, you put all the blame on Wang Hui. What does that sound like?

Liu Quyou informed Dong Zhongshu of the three provinces.

Dong Zhongshu was Zhongshu Ling and an old man beside Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. He was relatively calm and reserved. People like Zhu Fuyan and Sang Hongyang were dismissed from office, but Dong Zhongshu still stood firm.

"The problem in the northwest cannot be solved overnight. Your Majesty is making things difficult for General Wang, and it is only to be expected that the northwest will suffer such a defeat."

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was still angry and asked: "What's the matter?"

When Dong Zhongshu heard that Emperor Wu of Han wanted to kill Wang Hui, he immediately went to the Weiyang Palace and met Emperor Wu of Han.

"If Wang Hui is killed again this time, I am afraid that the emotions of the scholars will be ignited again."

"If your Majesty is going to offend Old General Wang again, then please first step down from his official position as a minister. I am ashamed of myself and the bureaucrats and common people in the world."

"Start your Majesty."

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was stunned. He stared at Dong Zhongshu angrily and sneered: "Are you really wrong?"

"We, the great Han Dynasty, established our country based on filial piety, and we have a special amnesty for the elderly."

Looking at Dong Zhongshu's leaving back, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty looked increasingly gloomy and his cheeks twitched violently.

He roared three good words in a row and shouted: "Then I will satisfy you!"

"Get out! Get away from Weiyang Palace! I don't need you!"

"Your Majesty must not impose your own mistakes on others. No one advised your Majesty before the war started. The traitor general Wang Meng also told us about the severe situation in the northwest."

"General Wang could have stayed at home for a thousand years, but if he was not loyal and patriotic, how could he be willing to go into battle?"

Emperor Wu of Han's beard was trembling, and the veins on his face were bulging. He pointed at Dong Zhongshu and said angrily: "You are rebelling against heaven! You are rebelling against heaven!"

"I ask Your Majesty to remember Wang Hui's hard work and spare his life."

Dong Zhongshu said in a neither humble nor arrogant tone: "Your Majesty, not long after Dade died, the crowd of scholars finally calmed down their anger."

Dong Zhongshu bent down, took off the official hat on his head, displayed it respectfully in the main hall, cupped his fists and said, "Common people, please leave."

It's not that Dong Zhongshu didn't know what His Majesty was doing. The reason why he could lie dormant until now was because he was very capable of serving as an official.

"Now this person is still sitting in the Western Region Allied Forces. With this and that, General Wang's defeat is foreseeable."

"Good! Good! Good!"

Dong Zhongshu said: "Don't do to others what you don't want others to do to you."

"I am alone, I am alone! No one trusts me, no one trusts me anymore! Haha!"

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty had a splitting headache. He covered his forehead and said, "Don't kill Wang Hui, don't kill him!"

Liu Huan was stunned. He felt that Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty had serious mental problems.

Gongsunqing's elixir is indeed powerful.

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty's judgment is getting worse and worse now. An emperor goes back on his word and never thinks twice before doing anything.

This is naturally what Liu Huan hopes to see. Only in this way can he control Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. Liu Huan clasped his fists and said, "Father, my son, I will give the order right now, asking Wang Hui to retreat eastward and secure the city first."

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty said: "Okay!"

"You, you go to the prince to discuss it, go to him."

Liu Huan hummed and said, "Okay!"

"Father, please rest first."

Liu Huan said to the outside world: "Go and call the prince."

"Here!"

Liu Huan squinted his eyes and thought. Now that Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was becoming increasingly unstable, could he first determine his position as King of Jiaodong?
Will you slowly figure out the prince's position in the future?
He has no identity now, and many people in the palace look down upon him. Having the blessing of a king's identity will make his identity more noble.

Not long after, Wei Ning came to Weiyang Palace, cupped his fists and said to Liu Huan, "I have met the eldest prince."

Liu Huan hummed, but before he could speak, Wei Ning said, "Master Dong has been dismissed from office?"

Liu Huan frowned and said, "This is not something you should ask."

Weining remained silent.

Liu Huan said to Weining: "Zhenbei County has been lost and the Northwest War has failed. I wonder if the prince has any countermeasures?"

Wei Ning asked Liu Huandao: "Is Gu's countermeasures effective?"

"Gu suggested three months ago that Wang Hui not be allowed to take the initiative and stick to Zhenbei County. His Majesty said that I had selfish motives."

"In that case, I don't know why you still ask Gu?"

Liu Huan shook his head and said condescendingly: "This is not your thing to consider. Just come up with countermeasures. As for how to deal with it, I will tell His Majesty."

Wei Ning frowned and thought for a while, then said to Liu Huan: "According to the current situation, we will first stick to Anxi City, and then send an official with experience in local troubled times to govern Anxi. Using Anxi as a base, let Wang Hui concentrate on training his troops, and wait With strong troops and strong horses, we will try to counterattack."

Liu Huan thought for a while and asked Weining: "Then why do we send people to govern Anxi County? There are already people governing this place."

Weining asked Liu Huandao: "Almost all the people in Zhenbei County have migrated to Anxi County, so naturally more officials must be sent to govern."

Liu Huan snorted and asked Weining, "Do you have anyone to recommend?"

Wei Ning said: "Yes, Chang'an Zuo Fufeng Qinchuan."

Isn't this your father-in-law?
Liu Huan glanced at Weining suspiciously, wondering what Weining was planning.

Why would you push your father-in-law to the dangerous northwest? This logic doesn't make sense!

Wei Ning looked at Liu Huan and said: "If the eldest prince feels that the person I recommend is not good, then he can choose it himself."

"Just like before, I suggested not to let Wang Hui attack, but His Majesty didn't listen."

"Anyway, I have put forward my suggestion. As for what to do, I would like to ask the eldest prince to tell His Majesty and let His Majesty make his own decision!"

Liu Huan nodded slightly and said, "I will tell your Majesty."

Wei Ning cupped his fists and said, "Is there anything else?"

Liu Huan shook his head and said, "No more."

Wei Ning said: "Can I go and see Dong Zhongshu?"

Liu Huan was stunned for a moment, then blurted out: "What's the matter?"

Wei Ning said: "It's nothing. Dong Zhongshu is the pillar of the country. It's normal for me to go see him as the prince. Not to mention that Dong Zhongshu has lost his official position."

Liu Huan snorted, squinting as if thinking about something, and finally said: "Okay!"

Go and meet. It is best to meet Sang Hongyang, Gongsun He, etc. If anything happens to you in the future, these will be evidence of your rebellion!
