Huo Wei and his family continued to unswervingly support Wang Mang, their loyalty did not change, and their sincerity remained the same. It seems that they and Wang Mang have become the strongest alliance in the world, and they are invulnerable.

With the passage of time, under the changes caused by natural disasters, the ministers silently divided into two factions.

One faction is to continue to support Wang Mang, at least at this stage. The other faction wants to break away from the supervision of the dynasty, be independent, and maintain the situation of feudal princes at the beginning.

The emergence of these two factions has gradually changed the political situation in the court, and the original single-minded disaster relief psychology has begun to fight again.

And with the differentiation of the two factions, the slogan calling on Wang Mang to ascend the throne and become emperor was much lighter than before, and gradually some people began to call Wang Mang the emperor, wanting to continue to support the puppet emperor to stabilize his wealth.

In the sixth month, the Han Dynasty's semi-annual Imperial Assembly was held, and many officials from all over Kyushu came to the imperial capital to participate in political discussions.

At five o'clock in the morning of this day, Xu Wang Mang got up early and went out, came to Weiyang Palace with a sword, and followed him into the palace halfway, as well as Wei Gonghan, Huo Jianghai, Gongsun Ce, and Huo Rongsheng.

After they came to Weiyang Palace, Wang Mang stood at the forefront of the ministers, and Huo Jianghai and Wei Gonghan stood on both sides of Wang Mang. Huo Rongsheng and Gongsun Ce stood a little forward in the middle of the ministers.

After each of them took their positions, they all remained silent, waiting for the other ministers who had not yet arrived to come to discuss the matter.

When it was about six o'clock, officials from all over Kyushu came to Weiyang Palace one after another.

Although Wang Mang arranged for many young talents to go to the local government to manage political affairs, Kyushu was too big, the scope was too much, and there were too many cities. The manpower arranged by Wang Mang is still not enough for the entire Kyushu.

For example, about seventy percent of the officials who came to discuss the matter this time were officials of the original forces, and only thirty percent were newly appointed officials by Wang Mang.

Of course, Wang Mang arranged so many officials by himself, which is enough to show his energy. Because when the Huo family and the Wei family were at their most brilliant, the officials belonging to their faction did not account for thirty percent of the officials in the entire Kyushu.

When the courtiers basically arrived, the Son of Heaven Han Ping Emperor Liu Jian came to Weiyang Palace under the service of his father-in-law and sat on the throne of the Ninety-Five.

Emperor Liu of the Han Ping Dynasty has also matured a lot in the past few years, at least on the surface, he seems to be a mature young man, and he is no longer the immature appearance when he ascended the throne before.

As he grew older, he became more and more calm, and he knew the helplessness and pain of his predecessor, Liu Xin, the son of heaven.

He knew very well in his heart that his position as the Son of Heaven was purely an ornament. Not to mention the mobilization of soldiers to command the courtiers, the position of the throne can also be changed by the courtiers at any time.

After the Son of Heaven Liu Jian sat down, the father-in-law shouted: "The early dynasty begins, and the ministers have something to do early, and they have nothing to do to retreat from the court." ”

When Wang Mang heard this, he took the lead in bowing down to the ground and said: "Long live my emperor, long live, long live!" ”

He took the lead in prostrating himself to the Son of Heaven, and the other courtiers were not able to express themselves, for fear that Wang Mang would find fault on this issue, so they saluted and praised the Son of Heaven.

After the ceremony, Song Pingzhi, the Qintian supervisor, opened his mouth and said: "Your Majesty, the minister has a book to play." ”

"What does Aiqing have to play?" Liu Jian asked.

Qin Tianjian Song Pingzhi said: "The minister has been watching the sky at night for several months, and yesterday the minister found that the stars have changed greatly. On behalf of Your Majesty, your Emperor Weixing is dim and crumbling, and on behalf of Lord Wang Mang's bullfighting star is brilliant, shining on the stars, and the fighting spirit is straight to Emperor Weixing, which shows that this is the heavens are using the number of astrological changes to show the will of heaven.

In the ancient times of the Three Emperors and Five Emperors, we in Kyushu have always followed the Zen system, so that virtuous people can rule the world and bless the people. After arriving in the Great Xia Dynasty, Emperor Yu's son Xia Shi Di changed the first system and passed on the throne. Since then, the position of the Supreme of the Ninth Five-Year Plan has often been unworthy, causing the people of Li to suffer from it.

For example, this catastrophe from heaven, Kyushu was completely shrouded in natural disasters, and this matter was also a warning sent by heaven to His Majesty to punish His Majesty's mistakes. Also, in addition to the changes in the stars, Chen also found that there were visions in the Liaodong region, the Yuzhou region, the Suyang region and other places.

Some time ago, many people actually picked up a book in the stomach of a fish, and the content of the book was to praise the benevolence and righteousness of Lord Wang, show that Lord Wang is the image of the true dragon and the son of heaven, and promote the benevolence and virtue of Lord Wang. Therefore, the minister suggested that His Majesty should quickly abdicate in accordance with the will of Heaven and give way to the virtuous, respect the wind of the ancient sages and pray to heaven, and ask the king to ascend the throne and become the emperor, and conform to the number of days. In this way, we will put an end to the natural disasters and save the people of Li from fire and water..."

"Ridiculous!"

As soon as Song Pingzhi, the Qintianjian finished speaking, a minister stood up and scolded him.

This minister was one of the few royalists who was single-mindedly determined to maintain the orthodoxy of the Liu clan of the Han Dynasty.

Because this person is a royalist, although he has some status in the court and is an official in Jiuqing, he does not have any real power.

He shouted at Song Pingzhi: "The words of the stars are pure nonsense, and the words of visions are even more absurd. Although Lord Wang is benevolent and righteous, he is quite popular with the people and can be called a saint. But imperial power is imperial power, how can you allow your courtiers to peep and trample on it? Otherwise, what is a king and what is a minister? Lord Song, as a courtier, but you are so rebellious and despise the Son of Heaven, what should you be guilty of? ”

"Nonsense? Ridiculous? Hahaha...."Song Pingzhi laughed and said: "Lord Zhang Sheng, the theory of the number of stars has existed since the time when Pangu opened the world, otherwise how can there be Fuxi gossip, Jiang Taigong's sixty-four trigrams, and the three emperors and five emperors sacrificing to the sky?"

As for the vision, it is even more true. Although Lord Wang is now in a high position, the areas under his control are Gansu and Qingzhou, and although he can interfere in other places, he cannot fully control them. Most of the places where those visions appear now are outside the Wang's control, which shows the reality of the vision.

If the vision is false and man-made, doesn't that mean that Lord Wang has full control over the entire land of Kyushu? If you want to say that Lord Wang has full control of Kyushu, you will definitely not believe it, Lord Zhang, right?

Now those people are all talking about it, and they support the king from the bottom of their hearts to ascend the throne and become the emperor, this is the will of the people, how can we go against it without permission? And if it weren't for Providence's will, then how would you explain this once-in-a-millennium natural disaster?

If there is no king, the people of the world do not know how many deaths and injuries will be killed. This kind of achievement is unparalleled in the world, and no one has surpassed it throughout the ages. Now it is precisely because of the king that the people can survive the calamity in peace.

You are an official in Jiuqing, but you don't have any heart to assist the people, you turn a blind eye to the merits of Lord Wang, and only seek benefits for your own selfishness, you are so immoral and characterless, why do you dare to make a big statement here and defy the will of heaven? Do you want the people of Kyushu to be robbed again? ”
