Chapter 16 Killing the Emperor and Sacrificing to the Heavens

Guanzhong Chang'an. The newly restored continuous palace is tall and majestic, and the sky is getting late, and the slanting sun falls on the glazed tiles above the palace, reflecting a faint dusk. Just like the down-and-out Han royal family, the sun is declining, the majesty is declining, in the eyes of the world's families, the Han family has declined, just like the situation when the Qin Emperor soared and competed for the deer.

In a large hall of the palace, Wang Mang sat above. He was wearing a black python robe, and his originally fat body was now very strong. With a wide mouth and short beard, and deep eyes, the aura around the main hall seemed to be affected by him, and became much deeper and more solemn.

On the left and right sides of the main hall, each kneeling sat the most trusted civil and military ministers under Wang Mang, Wang Mang sat on the top of the head, looking around at the subordinates on both sides, and the mood was okay.

After coming to Guanzhong, he took out the forbearance kung fu of the Han Dynasty, and showed his literary ability to the fullest, and the deserted Guanzhong became prosperous through his efforts. There are also a lot of talents under his command.

For example, the newly emerging general Xu Huang and Zhang Ji's nephew Zhang Xiu are all rare generals. The major families in Guanzhong saw that Wang Mang sorted out the internal affairs in an orderly manner, and also tentatively sent some talents from his family to take refuge. In general, these talents are much better than the talents under Wang Mang's command back then.

"Wen You, tell everyone the information you just got!" Wang Mang said in a deep voice.

The official headed by the left side was Li Ru, and he noticed that in the upper body, it was no longer his familiar father-in-law, but another person, but he didn't show it in the slightest, but as usual.

He bowed his hand to Wang Mang, and then said: "Not long ago, the secret agent came with news that Gao Cheng led a million-strong army from Jingnan to the north and south, and successively attacked Jiangling, Jingling, and Xiangyang! Of the seven counties in Jingzhou, six counties have fallen into Gao Cheng's hands. According to the news, Cao Cao led the army south, and now there is a high probability of a big battle between the two armies!"

"So Xiangguo summoned us to discuss countermeasures!"

As soon as Li Ru said this, the faces of the civil and military on both sides were different, and they were no strangers to the name Gao Cheng.

Unexpectedly, the princes who had a strength of only 100,000 back then grew so fast, and it seemed that in the blink of an eye, the other party had changed from a county to a powerful prince who had seized the south.

Wang Mang saw that no one took the initiative to speak, so he fell on a middle-aged scribe below, suddenly smiled, and said, "Wenhe, you have always been wise, I don't know what to think of the current situation?"

This middle-aged scribe is Jia Xu, he was born in Liangzhou, and the restrictions of his background made him have to join the Liangzhou army. It turned out that he was still inconspicuous in the Liangzhou Army, but Wang Mang had a good eye for people and promoted him. He could only reluctantly accept the other party's kindness. became the second only strategist in the Liangzhou army after Li Ru.

Jia Xu smiled modestly and said: "The current situation is obvious, Gao Cheng and Cao Cao are in a big battle, if they win, they can go north to the Central Plains and become the first prince in the world." If Duke Ming wants to seize the world, then he must join forces with Yuan Shao, send troops eastward, and deal with Gao Cheng first!"

"If Gao Cheng is defeated, then Cao Cao will inevitably lose his troops, and our army will go through the Wuguan Pass and seize the entire Nanyang! No matter who wins or loses on both sides, it will be of great benefit to our army. But ......"

Everyone in the hall listened attentively, especially when the generals heard that they were fighting for the world, their fighting spirit was boiling, and they couldn't wait to immediately send troops to compete with the world's heroes. Since the battle with the Kwantung princes in the Tiger Pass, they have been fighting against the rebels in Liangzhou for all these years, and they are very unpleasant.

"But what?" Wang Mang asked in a deep voice.

Jia Xu glanced at Li Ru and saw that he had no expression, so he said slowly: "But I heard that Gao Cheng seems to have broken through the seal set by Liu Bang back then and became a god in the Divine Power Realm. Gangneung City was blasted through the city wall by one of his magical powers! With such a master, no one in the world is his opponent. ”

As soon as he said this, everyone was silent, if it was said that the strong people below the third-order divine power realm, no matter how powerful they were, they would have a way to deal with them, Lu Bu and Wang Yun conspired to rebel together, Lu Bu's strength was high enough, known as the world's number one general, but in the end he also escaped from Guanzhong in embarrassment.

However, the powerhouses of the third-order divine power realm are different, in the eyes of most people in the Great Han, those who could exert their supernatural powers with a gesture before Gaozu established the Great Han were the legendary gods. Such a person is an existence that mortals cannot match.

Gao Cheng has such strength, even if his soldiers and horses are defeated again and again, as long as he personally goes out and takes the lead in charging, then he will be invincible.

With the congenital undefeated person as the enemy, the civil and military officials in the hall are extremely desperate as long as they think about it.

"Unless! Ming Gong can come up with a way to break through the seal of Gaozu, so that there are also gods in the Divine Power Realm in Guanzhong, and use gods to fight against gods, in this way, Ming Gong can take over the world!" Jia Xu said softly.

The civil and military forces in the main hall all focused on Wang Mang, and the people who could sit on the main hall were not stupid, they could more or less detect the abnormality of their own lord. In particular, he is very familiar with the situation before the establishment of the Han Dynasty and in the last years of the Han Dynasty. Know a lot of secrets.

If you want to break through Liu Bang's seal, perhaps only Wang Mang has the most right to speak.

"Breaking the Seal...... I do have a solution, but this method requires a great price!" Wang Mang groaned and said slowly.

"Please also make it clear to the lord!" The civil and military forces on both sides of the main hall instantly cheered up, no one wanted to improve their strength, if they could become supernatural powerhouses, then their status would be transcendent and ordinary, and they could even make their own family a world-famous family.

Wang Mang showed a strange smile and said softly: "Liu Bang's seal is essentially a barrier formed by the dragon qi of the Han family, as long as the dragon qi of the Han is still there, and there is still the title of Han people in the world, it will never disappear!"

"If you want to break the seal, the first way is to cut off the head of the little emperor and sacrifice to the sky with the bloodline of the Liu family, the dragon qi of the Han family collapses, and the seal is naturally lifted!"

The main hall was suddenly silent. Everyone looked at each other, unable to believe their ears. Even the most unruly Flying Bear Army general Li Dao Guo Yan still has a residual awe of the Han royal family in his heart, they dared to kidnap the emperor and threaten hundreds of officials in the original timeline, but no one dared to kill the emperor.

"Is there a second way?" someone asked reluctantly.

Wang Mang said lightly: "The second way is to kill, kill less than 10 million Han people in the world, so that they are not enough to support the consumption of dragon qi, and they can also unlock the seal!" Wang Mang explained very patiently.

At this time, even Li Ru and Jia Xu were cold in their hearts, even if the Han people went through the war, there were one or two hundred million, and less than 10 million were killed? This is to exterminate the Han people.

Except for those barbarians of different races, as long as they are Han Chinese, who can do this? Of course, even if they have this determination, they do not have this ability.
