After Emperor Liu Xin of the Han Dynasty and the ministers broke up unhappily because of the discussion of sending troops, he came to the imperial study.

In these years, with the help of the Feng family, he has developed very rapidly on the surface, and his background is quite rich.

For example, in this imperial study, in the past, the imperial study was full of spies, large and small. Even the harem is in chaos.

But now, there is no longer a spy from the Wei family in the entire imperial study, and all the concubines and ladies are also much more honest, and it is difficult for outsiders to insert eyeliner into it.

Liu Xin took a look and saw a young man standing in front of the desk, slightly closing his eyes and pondering.

This young man is the contemporary Feng family's head Feng Yi, who is about twenty-seven or eighteen years old, and is in a good time for promising young people.

He was dressed in a fluttering feather coat, standing there quietly, giving people a feeling of immortal demeanor.

"Ahem, cough, cough..."

Liu Xin pretended to cough a few times, and came to the desk and sat down on the chair.

Feng Yi heard the voice, stopped his contemplation, and came back to his senses. Then he saluted Liu Xin and said slowly: "Your Majesty, is there any problem with the court this morning?" ”

Liu Xin replied: "Master Feng, according to what you said before, King Xuan Mang entered the court. A few days ago, Wang Mang had agreed to this. I guess in a few more months, he should be there. At the time of the court meeting, I proposed to let the major families send 100,000 troops, a total of more than 400,000. Then led by Wang Mang, the expedition against the Xiongnu caused chaos on the border of Kyushu and the four directions.

However, those families demanded that I also have 50,000 soldiers and more than 200,000 silver. I haven't made up my mind about this yet, so I've put it off. Master Feng, what do you think about this? ”

Feng Yi choked slightly, and said with a light smile: "Your Majesty, it is normal for the major families to have such a statement. If they don't ask for this, it really doesn't fit their identity as rebels and thieves. Regarding the matter of sending troops, I think we can wait for Wang Mang to come and then discuss it. If, in the end, they insist on acting like this, then Your Majesty can follow it.

If you want to pacify Dongyi, Nanban, Xirong, and Beidi, it is by no means a good thing that can be dealt with in a short period of time. According to estimates, it will take at least 600,000 troops and at least two or three years. In this way, their major families are equivalent to being dragged down and consuming a lot of finances. This is still more advantageous for us.

Of course, the most important thing is that this time, we can completely kill Wang Mang. This son is actually more threatening than other major families, and he must not stay for a long time, otherwise there will be disaster. ”

"I also know that Wang Mang is doing great harm, but this son basically acts without leakage, and he has brought great benevolence and righteousness to the limit, and it is difficult to find loopholes in him. Now he has a lot of prestige among the people of Kyushu, equivalent to half a saint. If he is given some more time to develop, he may become a true saint. At that time, the imperial power will not be the imperial power, and the society will be subverted.

It's just hateful, Pi Tong never cut off this bane back then. If he had forced Wang Mang back to the Tiger Prison and completely wiped out the way of benevolence and righteousness, then there would be no Wang Mang today. The head of the Feng family, in my opinion, all the families in the world have regarded Wang Mang as a thorn in the flesh, and they can't wait to get rid of him quickly, after all, his actions have really hurt the foundation of the major families. ”

"This is natural, if the superior does not distinguish the line with the lower, then what do you need the title of superior?" Feng Yi said coldly: "Wang Mang advocates that the people should be free forever and get their own land forever. It is absurd that everyone should participate in the governance of the country, that the slave trade should be restricted, that the untouchables should be confused with the aristocracy, and that there would be no one in the world who could allow him to continue to be free? ”

Liu Xin scratched his eyebrows and asked in a deep voice: "You just said that you can cut off the root of the bane in one fell swoop, but I don't know how?" What are your plans to listen to? ”

"Why can't you say that?" Feng Yi sneered: "Wang Mang's prestige is indeed very high among ordinary people, and we don't need to doubt this. After all, he led the people of Yingchuan back then, and he went to Liaoning despite all obstacles, and really gave those people land, real estate, and money and food. But it is precisely because of this that he has an Achilles heel.

I have already made contact with the barbarian king of Dalian County, Liaoning. I think that as long as Wang Mang leaves Liaoning, and then we use some effort to pass on this news, this will definitely change the hearts of the people in Liaoning. After that, Wang Mang only waited for Wang Mang to go to the border of Helan Mountain, and when the mountain was high and the emperor was far away, the barbarian king raised troops, and Liaoning was bound to be in chaos.

At that time, the Huo family and the Wei family and other families will definitely participate in the well and carve up Liaoning. In this way, Ren Wang Mang has great ability, as long as he loses his foundation, everything will become a dream. Your Majesty, I can guarantee that as long as Wang Mang leaves Liaoning and leads his troops to the border, he will no longer pose any threat.

As soon as Wang Mang is eliminated, we will take advantage of the situation to annex the Wang family and sweep away this Wang family first. Then come and slowly negotiate with the Huo family and the Wei family. ”

Liu Xin listened to the words, nodded his head constantly, and said in appreciation: "I have your assistance, why worry about the great man not prospering, the world is uncertain?" Feng Yi, you can handle this matter well, and you must completely cut off this bane. In order to make it so that in the future, and even permanently, there will be no outsiders who can take advantage of the reputation of benevolence and righteousness.

This benevolence and righteousness is a scourge for the imperial power after all, and it is the biggest weapon to shake the foundation of the country. In the whole world, only the people of the royal family can act with the help of benevolence and righteousness, which is the real foundation. ”

"Yes, Your Majesty. Weichen dares to guarantee that Wang Mang's son will definitely fall into my hands. When the time comes, after I arrest him, Your Majesty can deal with it yourself. Feng Yi replied.

"So good, so good." Liu Xin laughed.

Subsequently, he discussed some trivial development plans with Feng Yi.

After talking for four or five hours, Feng Yicai left the imperial study and muttered to himself: "Liu Xin, Liu Xin, although you have the heart to save the Han, you really have no ability to save the Han." According to what the head of the Jiang family said, you only have the ability to keep it, and you don't have the talent to govern the country through heaven and earth.

If it weren't for the words of the head of the Jiang family, let me temporarily stabilize the situation for you, and wait for the real Lord to come, how would I do things for you?

Purple Emperor Micro, Purple Emperor Micro, when will you be born? The country of the Han Dynasty has to be completely restored by you. If it weren't for you, even if I joined forces with the head of the Jiang family and all the heroes in Zhuzhou, it wouldn't help. Only you can justifiably lead the troops to sweep in all directions, eradicate traitors, and bring our Han back to the glorious grandeur of the past. ”

-----

Don't talk about Feng Yi's thoughts, let's talk about Liu Xin.

After discussing some important matters with Feng Yi, he said to a palace maid: "When you go to the queen's mother, I will say that I have something to find her, and let her come quickly." ”

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

The palace maid received the order and went straight to the harem.

After walking for more than half an hour, the palace maid successfully came to the queen's bedroom.

At this moment, Queen Wei Ziyao was looking at Huang Ting, eating melons, very indifferent.

The palace maid came to her, knelt down and said, "Qi Niangniang, Your Majesty has something to say to Niangniang, and let Niangniang go to the imperial study quickly." ”
