"The Jia family must be destroyed, otherwise how could I establish the imperial capital? Why do you have a bad breath in your heart? It's just that in the land of Kyoto, except for the forbidden army, no other army can be stationed, this is a rule that cannot be questioned.

Now those forbidden armies are controlled by major families, and I can't mobilize a single soldier. The Jia family has been operating in Kyoto for several years, and it can be regarded as some power, and there are many private soldiers and slaves. A few hundred of us alone are not enough for them to stuff their teeth. And I will raise troops to conquer the south and the north in the future, if this matter is not handled well, I am afraid that it will be a little troublesome.

In addition, the matter of transferring troops into Beijing cannot be submitted to His Majesty. The Jia family is His Majesty's confidant, and he is very close to Feng Yi. If His Majesty learns that we are going to transfer troops into the capital, wouldn't the Jia family know in advance? And even if His Majesty wants to use our hand to establish his authority and eradicate the family. But for the sake of Feng Yi's face, he would not agree to this. ”

Wang Mang said: "I have already arranged the affairs of Liaoning, and I am not afraid that others will unite with the barbarian king to oppose me and mess with my rear." Only here in Qingzhou, I have no foundation and it is not easy to act. If it is not handled properly, it will affect my real intention of sending troops. What do you think about this? ”

"This...."

When the generals heard this, they were all unable to speak.

The way to think about politics is not what they are good at. If they are lined up to fight, or sneak attack, they are all in the line.

The crowd pondered for a long time, but no good opinions were put forward.

At this time, Li Hanfeng said: "Lord Wang, in my opinion, you can go and talk to the Wang family, ask them to help, and even unite with the Qian family." Feng Yi has quite a city government, and it is estimated that he also wants to plot the throne at the right time. It's just that now he doesn't dare to mess around because of the strong power of the major families.

Therefore, my lord, you can choose a reliable person among the royal family, cultivate him, and then assist him in ascending to the throne after you return triumphantly, replacing Liu Xin, and completely cutting off Feng Yi's support. As long as the person you assist ascends to the throne, then you don't have the final say on everything else?

It is easy to eradicate Jia Jiaming's strength, after all, their real foundation is not here. But if you want to eradicate Feng Yi and others and unify Kyushu, this thing is not easy to do, and you must fully control the power. However, in order to have full control of power, there must be a proper faction. In other words, let Your Majesty listen to you in everything.

I heard that your Excellency wants to reform the new policy, and to radiate some of the good policies implemented in Liaoning to the whole of Kyushu, and this matter must also be established on the new emperor, or you will personally ascend the throne. If Liu Xin is still the Son of Heaven, this matter will definitely not work. ”

"Assist others in the royal family to ascend the throne? Or will I overthrow the dynasty and ascend the throne myself? Wang Mang smiled and said: "Old Li, maybe you don't know one thing here, everyone else knows."

That is, I came to Qingzhou, and I had this plan, but I had no clue for a while, and it was difficult to make arrangements. I need to be in full control of Kyushu in three to five years so that I can deal with the rest of what is coming. ”

"Oh? My lord, you already have this in mind? ”

Li Hanfeng was a little surprised, and glanced at Wang Mang deeply.

He pondered for a long time before continuing: "Judging from your usual style of doing things, and the situation in Liaoning, if you ascend the throne and govern, it will indeed be a blessing for the people. At the very least, the people will no longer have to worry about food and clothing, nor do they have to worry about war.

My lord, if you really want to ascend the throne, I have one of you to recommend. That person is talented, full of poetry and books, and was born to govern the country, comparable to Su Qin, the prime minister of the Six Kingdoms, and Zhang Yi, the prime minister of Great Qin. Even his martial arts are far above me. ”

"Oh? Mr. Li, do you still know such characters? Wang Mang was taken aback, and hurriedly asked, "Old Li, I don't know who that person is?" Can you please meet me? ”

"That person is my senior brother Wuyazi, who now lives in Xuzhou. If you want to see you, I can repair it to him. Last time my mother died of illness, I wanted to take refuge in him, but for a while, I couldn't take refuge, and the news was difficult to understand. ”

"Then there is Senior Lao, if he is in Qingzhou, I will definitely go to invite him in person. It's just that I can't leave Qingzhou at the moment, and I can't go to Xuzhou to visit in person. Wang Mang said hurriedly.

"It's easy to say, but you can relax. With my letter explaining the situation, I expected that he would gladly come to help the adults in their work. Li Hanfeng said with a smile.

Wang Mang nodded, happy in his heart.

In his opinion, it is not about governing the country, but about personal martial arts. Li Hanfeng has such skills, so his senior brother must be even more powerful, and he can be called an enemy of ten thousand people.

Wang Mang thought for a long time, and said to Zhang Yao: "General Zhang Yao, you can go to Donglai County, Yuzhou for me, and secretly see my uncle Wang Xianzhi and my cousin Wang Ping, and say that I want them to come to Qingzhou to help me."

But if they agree, come with them. If you don't agree, don't force it. However, you should be careful not to let outsiders know your whereabouts, and you must not let outsiders know about it. ”

"General Huwei? Miss Wang Ping? ”

Zhang Yao was originally the son of Wang Mang's father, Wang Xianxiao, and had been working under Wang Xianzhi in Yuzhou. Then Wang Mang and Wang Hai had a conflict and split up, and Zhang Yao thought of his father's affection, so he took refuge in Wang Mang's account.

Now he was very surprised when he heard Wang Mang's words.

"Lord Wang, I'm afraid there's something wrong with this, right? You haven't contacted General Wang for many years, and you've had a bad relationship with Young Master Wang Hai. Even the death of Young Master Wang Sheng has a certain relationship with you. Now Young Master Wang Hai has taken refuge in others and wants to be your enemy. If I go and invite General Wang and Miss Wang Ping at this moment, wouldn't it..."

Wang Mang smiled: "My uncle is my uncle, Wang Hai is Wang Hai, the two cannot be compared." Although my uncle is over half a hundred years old, he is a battlefield general after all, proficient in battle formation strategy, and convincing soldiers. If I want to go east and the north, I need his help.

As for my cousin Wang Ping, in fact, I still have some correspondence with her. I asked her to come to Qingzhou because I considered that she was a woman, so that I could cultivate a son of heaven when I was not in Qingzhou. Whether I will stand on my own or assist the other royal emperors, I have not yet completely planned this matter, so I can only make preparations with both hands.

A few years ago, although Wang Hai asked me many times to send troops to Yuzhou, my uncle never asked me to send troops once. Thinking about it, he also knew about those things back then, and he was ashamed of it, and it was difficult to speak.

He and I are a family, and we are disconnected, and our family affection will always be there. Now, after so many years, it's time to ease the relationship. As for Wang Hai, if he can wake up in the future, I won't bother with him. Zhang Yao, you can go to Yuzhou. Of course, when I met them, I didn't need to explain specific things, just say that I want them to come to Qingzhou to help me do things. ”

When Zhang Yao heard this, he nodded and said, "Young Master Wang, since this is the case, then I will go." After saying that, he did not delay, got up and left.

After saying this, Wang Mang said to another person: "General Jingsheng, you take some gifts, go to Qian's house for me, and invite that Xiangyang assassin Qian Zhongyang to discuss with me." When you see him, try to keep it secret and don't let outsiders know. If Qian Zhongyang doesn't come, don't be embarrassed. ”

"Yes, sir!" Jingsheng didn't ask much, got up in response, and retreated.

When the rest of the people heard the words, they all looked sideways, and said with a smile: "Lord Wang, it seems that you are going to completely destroy the Jia family." ”
