Zhang Sheng, the minister of the court, couldn't help but be startled in his heart when he saw Wang Mang's threatening eyes, and hurriedly stopped his mouth, not saying the ugly words he wanted to say to Huo Jianghai, for fear of angering Wang Mang.

He secretly wiped his cold sweat with a wide sleeved robe, hiding the panic in his heart, and thought to himself: "Huo Rongsheng, the grandson of Huo Jianghai, the old thing, is Wang Mang's right-hand man, and now the Huo family is completely united with Wang Mang, if I attack Huo Jianghai at this time, wouldn't this be a slap in the face to Wang Mang?"

Wang Mang seems to be a very talkative person on the surface, and everyone praises him as a saint, but I think he is full of danger in his bones, and he is a well-dressed beast who is good at disguise. If I had fought against him at this time, I might not have found an excuse to kill me. ”

Thinking of this, his whole body couldn't help but stand on end, and then quickly said, "Uh.... I was indeed reckless. Lord Wang is just and virtuous, a saint of the world, admired and praised by the people, and is the pillar of our Han Dynasty. He should avoid suspicion about the re-establishment of the new king, otherwise there may not be all kinds of rumors that will affect his reputation.

If his prestige is damaged, the people's will will definitely be scattered, the military will definitely be confused, and the foreign countries will definitely invade the south again, and then our Han Dynasty will definitely be even more dangerous. Master Huo, this matter is my inconsiderate and out of proportion, please forgive me. ”

After being threatened by Wang Mang with his eyes, he quickly lowered his voice, admitting his mistake again and again, and his attitude seemed very sincere.

Zhongshan Taishou Li Kang saw that Zhang Sheng had made a 180-degree turn in his words, and he understood it after thinking about it quickly, so he also admitted his mistake, and did not dare to continue to make things difficult and coerce Wang Mang in words.

"Hmph...."Huo Jianghai snorted coldly, "Okay, this matter will be stopped, and we will make the next decision after we have read the holy decree." ”

"Good ....."

With this out, the other ministers naturally didn't dare to say anything more, let alone have any sinister intentions towards Wang Mang and the officials of Wang Mang's faction, for fear that disaster would come out of their mouths.

Now Wang Mang no longer needs to use military action to suppress the hundred officials, one of his simple glances or a careless cough can cause endless speculation among the hundred officials.

Wang Mang's power has reached its peak, comparable to the Qin Emperor Han Wu in his heyday, and he is a veritable uncrowned king, and no one dares to plunder the tiger's beard.

The ministers waited for about half an hour before the eunuchs took the holy decree back from the Son of Heaven's bedroom.

After retrieving it, Wang Mang motioned to the eunuch to quickly read the last decree of Emperor Liu Yin of the Han Ping Dynasty in front of hundreds of civil and military officials.

The eunuch pulled the male duck's throat and said, "Fengtian carrier, the emperor said." Since I ascended the throne of Dabao, I am not worthy of virtue and lack of learning, so that natural disasters are raging, the people are displaced, and the foundation of the Han Dynasty is ruined. I feel that if I don't abdicate and make way for Xian, I am afraid that the foundation will collapse and the universe will hang upside down.

When my ancestor Emperor Gaozu established his business, he once said that the Han royal family should take the life and death of the people as their own responsibility, wealth and well-being. However, after more than 200 years of control of the Han Dynasty, the situation has become worse and worse, and it seems to have reappeared at the end of the Great Qin period. At this critical moment, fortunately, a saint came to turn the tide and help the mountains and rivers and support the hundreds of millions of people. I have repeatedly tried to emulate the ancient emperor in order to seek peace in the world.

However, the saint repeatedly excused me, and I was powerless. Therefore, he took poison to kill his life, set fire to his bones, washed away his mistakes, and prayed for the blessing of the world. After my death, I hope that all the ministers and saints will join hands to restore Kyushu and benefit the people. The position of the Great Treasure is worthy of the incompetence of the Imperial Family, so I still hope that the saint can take over the throne and create a prosperous era for me......"

This holy decree was sprinkled with hundreds of words, and the content of it was basically the words of Emperor Liu Yin of the Han Ping Dynasty, praising the words of Wang Mang, and saying that this palace fire was purely his personal act, which was to burn away the sins, pray for the blessing of the world, and let the ministers not need to be overly suspicious, etc.

After the eunuch finished reading the holy decree, Wang Mang asked the eunuch to show the holy decree to many ministers one by one to verify the authenticity of the holy decree notes.

When those powerful ministers read the holy decree, they all said in unison that this holy decree was indeed written by Emperor Liu Jian of the Han Ping Dynasty himself, and it was not a fake.

"Your Majesty...."

After the ministers confirmed, Wang Mang wiped away tears and cried out.

"Your Majesty, the minister is guilty, the minister is guilty. Your Majesty entrusted the ministers with important tasks, but the ministers failed to comprehend Your Majesty's painstaking efforts, so Your Majesty embarked on this path......"

Wang Mang's sad cry, and the ministers belonging to his faction also hurriedly followed the sad cry, mourning the death of Emperor Liu Yin of the Han Ping Dynasty.

With this beginning, no matter what thoughts the other ministers had in their hearts, they quickly maintained the same action as Wang Mang, kneeling down together and bowing to this holy decree, crying out in sorrow and shedding tears in the temple.

"Ministers, the matter of Your Majesty's collapse has now been decided, not by outsiders, but by Your Majesty himself, so there is no need to discuss this matter, now we should respect Your Majesty's will to deal with Your Majesty's future affairs in a low-key manner, and immediately welcome Your Majesty to the throne as emperor, in order to fulfill Your Majesty's long-cherished wish." When the imperial history of the dynasty, Wei Gonghan, the head of the Wei family, hurriedly stood up and made a speech.

For him, although Wang Mang is not the most suitable choice to be the emperor, it does not conform to his original plan, but now that all forces are like this, he has no way to stop Wang Mang from becoming the emperor, at least his Wei family now has no ability to be the emperor.

And Wei Ziyao, the granddaughter of his clan, has a close relationship with Wang Mang, and seems to be Wang Mang's woman, so strictly speaking, he can be regarded as half of Wang Mang's grandfather, so in this case, he quickly threw out his own statement, and showed favor to Wang Mang as soon as possible, wanting to implement this matter, and then slowly plot.

He thought that as long as Wei Ziyao was still there, then his Wei family would still be able to grow stronger in the future, restore its previous strength, and still rely on the big tree of Wang Mang, without fear of the annexation and harassment of other emerging forces at present.

"Yes, yes, Master Wei has a point." Gongsun Ce said: "Your Majesty's edict has made everything clear and clear, and Your Majesty has previously said that you will follow the example of the three emperors and five emperors in ancient times to abdicate and make way for the virtuous, and want to give the throne to Lord Wang.

Now that His Majesty's edict is here, I don't think this matter can be delayed any longer, otherwise Your Majesty's painstaking efforts will not be in vain? ”

Wang Mang coughed dryly a few times, and he wanted to refuse and said, "Lord Gongsun, Lord Wei, my lords, I'm afraid this matter is a little inappropriate." This Great Han Dynasty was defeated by Gaozu back then, if I ascend to the throne, wouldn't this be..."

"Lord Wang doesn't need to worry." Qin Tianjian said: "As the saying goes, the country and the mountains take turns to sit, and when I come to my house today, the luck of the Liu clan of the Han Dynasty has been cut off, this is the will of heaven, and there is no way to change it."

The rivers and mountains of Kyushu have always belonged to the people, not to a single person. In ancient times, when the three emperors were established, there was a wind of Zen and virtue, and now your virtue is complete, and everyone in the world recites the saint, and you should enjoy it infinitely. Besides, the people of the world have long hoped that you will obey the mandate of heaven and become emperor, so that the people can rest assured, and the barbarians of the hundreds of countries outside the territory can also be subdued..."
