In Weiyang Palace, after Wang Mang left, Emperor Ping of Han grabbed the two drawings of Mingtang and Biyong and tore them apart.

Emperor Hanping could clearly feel that Wang Mang had become more and more unruly recently, and he simply regarded himself as an emperor, but now Emperor Hanping has lost the power of the Wei clan and has basically been completely hollowed out.

In the fourth year of AD, Wang Mang ignored the existence of the emperor, first ordered the construction of 10,000 houses in Chang'an, and then posted the imperial list to recruit scholars from all over the world and people with special skills to come to Chang'an to participate in Taixue, and Liu Yan and Liu Jia went to study in the imperial city of Chang'an at this time.

While Wang Mang was gathering talents from the younger generation, he sent eight custom envoys, ostensibly to inspect various states, and secretly collected various materials for him, so that Wang Mang could justify and create a scene of peace and prosperity. After finishing the land of China, Wang Mang felt that it was not enough, so he lured him with a lot of money to let several neighboring countries send envoys to return to the court on behalf of his own kingdom, and for a time Wang Mang became a virtuous and virtuous sage who could govern the country and level the world.

Wang Mang was making the wind and rain, and Emperor Han Ping was not idle, he finally managed to avoid all the eyeliner in the palace with great effort, and secretly saw Kong Guang, the prince of the dynasty.

"Master Taifu, please save me from the Han River." Emperor Hanping bowed, Kong Guang was frightened, he hurriedly knelt on the ground to return the salute, shouting: "Your Majesty, you are the king, I am the minister." If you can't afford it, hurry up. ”

"Master Taifu, there is no one who can save me except you."

Kong Guang is not only a veteran of the Three Dynasties but also a descendant of Confucius, a great Confucian in the world, as long as he is willing to help, even if Wang Mang is now powerful, Emperor Ping of Han does not think that he will lose.

Looking at the little emperor in front of him, Kong Guang was also very embarrassed, he had entered the old age, and he just wanted to go home to recuperate, but now he encountered such a tricky thing.

Emperor Ping of Han knelt on the ground and begged bitterly, but Kong Guang, who was favored by the emperor, finally made up his mind to fight Wang Mang.

The dictatorship of relatives has been a taboo since ancient times, and it was a mistake for Emperor Han Ping to listen to his mother's words to support the Wei family to fight against the Wang family, Kong Guang thought back to the faces of the descendants of the Liu family, and finally thought of a person who could be recommended to Emperor Han Ping, that is, Liu Chong, the Marquis of Anzhong.

Hearing that it was his family, Emperor Ping of the Han Dynasty had obtained a treasure, he tried every means to meet Liu Chong, and at this time, Liu Chongzheng was yelled by Liu Xiuqi, and he didn't want any image at all.

"Since Liu Yan and Liu Jia's two brothers went to Chang'an, my family is almost too poor to open the pot, and it is better to go to the mountains to chop more firewood for food if you have time to study."

Liu Xiu, Liu Xiu, led and regressed, Liu Chong sent the materials, he didn't ask for any of them, his temper was more stubborn than a donkey, and as the name suggests, he said: "The heavens will descend on the people, and they must first suffer their minds, strain their muscles and bones, starve their bodies and skins, empty their bodies, and act chaotically, so they are tempted to endure and benefit what they can't." ”

"I know this better than you, so I don't need you to tell me. I am now ordering you to come to the private school every morning and return home in the afternoon. ”

"Not available!"

The two words floating in the air made Liu Chong go violently, he picked up the stick on the side and did it, Liu Xiu hurriedly stuffed the unfinished steamed chicken into his arms, grabbed the stick on the side and beat it.

Watching Liu Xiu in front of him resolve his moves one by one, Liu Chong became more and more angry in his heart.

What a good seedling, but you have to go up the mountain to chop wood, will you die if you accept my assistance?

"Master, there is a messenger outside the door asking to see him, it is said that he is from the Imperial City of Chang'an."

"Don't go, you kid, I'll come back to clean you up when I meet the messenger." Liu Chong discarded the stick in his hand, tidied up his appearance and ran to meet the messenger, but when Liu Chong saw the messenger, his face suddenly turned black.

Let a ten-year-old child be a messenger, and it is estimated that the thing that does not have long eyes is deliberately teasing him.

The envoy repeatedly confirmed Liu Chong's identity, and when it was completely confirmed, he began to take off his coat and show Liu Chong the blood book with the jade seal on his underwear.

It reads: "The traitorous minister is in charge, although the nephew Liu Jin is the honor of the Ninety-Five, but he suffers from it, and now he has to be recommended by Taifu Kongguang, and it is not easy for my uncle Liu Chongnian to create a country, and it is not easy for me to punish the traitorous ministers, the Qing Dynasty, and the world is a bright future." ”

The blood book of Emperor Ping of Han was completely written in the identity of a junior, without the slightest tone of command. Liu Chong solemnly tidied up his appearance, knelt on his knees and shouted: "Minister Liu Chong is willing to do his best for Your Majesty and for the Han Dynasty." ”

The little messenger hurriedly helped Liu Chong up and put on his underwear with both hands, Liu Chong respectfully put away the blood book, and said, "Messenger, what do you need me to do?" ”

"Master Hou don't do anything for the time being, as long as you don't know about it, Your Majesty and Taifu Kong will send other people to contact you later, as long as he can show the remaining half of the jade pendant, then this person is completely credible." After saying this, the little messenger left, he did not dare to stay outside for too long, otherwise if he was discovered, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Suddenly receiving such a task, Liu Chong was already sitting alone in the front hall and pondering, but Liu Xiu did not know that his fate was changing, because Liu Chong, the Marquis of Anzhong, decided to cultivate him with all his strength without his consent, which could be regarded as sending one more useful talent to Emperor Ping of Han.

Looking at the Han River again, because the national war cannot be opened casually, but at this stage, there is nothing that can be used to improve Wang Mang's prestige except for opening up the territory. So Wang Mang sent Zhonglang General Pingxian to the Xihai region to lure the leaders of Beiheqiang to donate their land with money and property. Liangyuan and others were intimidated by the military force of the Western Han Dynasty and greedy for money, so they led 10,000 people from the tribe to move out of Xianshuihai, Yungu, Yanchi and other places, and dedicated the area around the lake to the Han Dynasty.

After Wang Mang got the West Sea and the salt pond, he reported to the Queen Mother Wang Zhengjun of the Linzhao Dynasty in the early dynasty, saying that the rivers and mountains of Dahan already have the East China Sea, the South China Sea, and the Beihai Counties, and now the barbarians such as Liangyuan are willing to donate the land, please set up the Xihai County in the area of the dedication.

After the establishment of Xihai County, it was divided into five counties: Xiuyuan, Jianqiang, Xingwu, Junju, and Shunli.

As the saying goes, the opportunity must not be lost and will not come again, Kong Guang saw the needle and proposed to relocate all domestic prisoners to the Xihai area.

Wang Mang felt that Kong Guang Lao'er was quite upright, so he did not block the selection of Taishou, and acquiesced to the position of Kong Guang's disciple Cheng Yong.

After getting the land of one county and five counties, Emperor Han Ping jumped and jumped happily, and the child's side was undoubtedly revealed, but Kong Guang did not dare to tell Emperor Han Ping that the land was obtained, but the later development and building an army were the most difficult. Because the power of finance and military is in Wang Mang's hands, it is not easy to use money to escape his sight.
