After Wei Gonghan heard Wang Mang say that he wanted to establish Wei Ziyao as the queen, he was slightly surprised, but then after thinking about it, he suddenly realized and reacted, it was expected that Wei Ziyao would have been Wang Mang's woman for a long time, otherwise Wang Mang would never have put forward this statement.

Now that he heard Wang Mang say this, he had an idea in his heart, and he couldn't wait for Wei Ziyao to agree immediately, because this was a great joy for him.

He kept glancing at Wei Ziyao, suggesting that Wei Ziyao quickly agreed.

As for the other ministers, although they were very puzzled why Wang Mang wanted to appoint the empress of the previous dynasty as the empress of the current dynasty, they did not object to it, and only watched the development of the situation.

Only those royalists were furious in their hearts, thinking that Wang Mang's move was simply lawless and incompetent to bully the Liu family of the imperial family.

If Wei Ziyao agreed to become Wang Mang's queen, then it would mean that the royal Liu family would completely lose all face, and Wang Mang would be completely trampled on the soles of his feet and unable to turn over.

Of course, if this matter is not put on the surface, but only secretly, it will not hurt, and it will not have much impact. But now Wang Mang said in front of the ministers that he wanted to dominate the woman of the first emperor, which was really unacceptable to the royalists.

"Damn bastard, you still want to set up the concubine of the first emperor to be your queen, you can't die well, and you will die without a place to bury in the future." Zhongshan Taishou Li Kang and one of the ministers of Jiuqing, Lord Tingwei Zhang Sheng, secretly scolded Wang Mang for being shameless, his face was red with anger, and he gritted his teeth.

"Back then, Feng Yi accused Wei Ziyao of not abiding by women's morals and going to General Wuhou's Mansion to marry Wang Mang privately, it seems that this matter is not a lie, but it is true, otherwise how could Wang Mang have such words? This Wei Ziyao is really a demon girl who has brought disaster to the country and the people, as someone else's queen, she is still adulterous with another wild man, she is simply shameless, and the 200-year National Games of my Han Dynasty will be cut off because of her. Li Kang scolded angrily in his heart.

"Make me the queen?" Wei Ziyao's heart moved, she was a little moved, she really wanted to grow old with Wang Mang, because her heart was all in Wang Mang, and her chastity was also taken away by Wang Mang in the cold palace.

But then she seemed to remember something, and immediately shook her head and said, "Your Majesty, please forgive the concubine for not agreeing to this matter." Although you and I were close friends back then, Your Majesty, you also drew your sword for me against Feng Taifu, Ji Yun and others, but I am the queen of the previous dynasty after all, so how can I be your queen? Otherwise, how will the world view Your Majesty? The concubine begs Your Majesty to set me free, and let the concubine find a place for herself. ”

"Well, since you don't want to, then I won't force it. You can go to your harem Fenglai Hall to rest for a while, and then I will arrive, and I still have some things to ask you. Wang Mang said.

"It's Your Majesty, the concubine is retiring." Wei Ziyao said.

Wei Gonghan secretly said that it was a pity, only sighing that his Wei family was still not blessed enough, otherwise how could he lose the position of this queen?

"Your Majesty, I don't know about the Queen...?"

Wang Mang said: "The queen's matter will be postponed for the time being, and it will not be too late to discuss it after the matter of the Ji family's anti-thieves is properly handled." ”

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Wei Gonghan didn't dare to ask again, he called a forbidden army, asked this forbidden army to hurry back to the Wei family to spread the news, and asked the people of the Wei family to start preparing the utensils needed for Wang Mang to ascend the throne and claim the emperor.

Huo Jianghai didn't want to see Wei Gonghan beautiful in front of others, so he hurriedly asked people to go home to report the news.

Wang Mang said: "The ministers can go to the Jianzhang Palace first and wait, and then they will arrive after I have completed the enthronement and sacrifice to the heavens." After that, he didn't care about the attitude of the ministers, and left Weiyang Palace in a hurry.

As soon as he was gone, all the courtiers began to talk about the ceremonies and the changes.

They expected that Wang Mang would definitely have many policies to be promulgated after he became emperor, and the world would inevitably change greatly, so they were all trying to figure out the holy will and seek a way to make a fortune.

Among the ministers, the people who belonged to Wang Mang's faction were profound and carefree, they didn't want anything, and slowly walked towards the direction of Jianzhang Palace.

Wei Gonghan and Huo Jianghai are also at peace in their hearts, not afraid of anything wrong, they both feel that the overall situation has been decided, and they have moved closer to Wang Mang in time, it is impossible for other families to threaten themselves, and their own family will definitely be able to sit back and relax to tide over the current difficulties, so as to last for thousands of years.

Fenglai Palace, not long after Wei Ziyao arrived here with his front foot, Wang Mang followed closely behind.

This Fenglai Palace was Wei Ziyao's harem, although Wei Ziyao was beaten into the cold palace by Emperor Liu Xin of the Han Dynasty early, but this harem was not abandoned during Liu Xin's period, Liu Xin still ordered the palace maids to clean it every day, because Liu Xin also admired Wei Ziyao.

Later, when Liu Xin borrowed Wang Mang's hand and the golden cicada left the palace and went to Gansu, Liu Xin, the Emperor of Hanping, also respected Wang Mang's will and continued to let people clean the Fenglai Palace, and did not allow any idle people to approach. As a result, although it has been uninhabited for several years, the overall environment is still exactly the same as it was at the beginning.

Wei Ziyao stood at the door of the palace and was stunned for a while, this palace was still exactly the same as when she left, there was a special emotional fluctuation in her heart, this clear fluctuation was very intense, making her almost cry.

Scenes of the days she had lived here surfaced in her mind, like a dream of Nanke.

Wang Mang stood behind her and said nothing, he understood Wei Ziyao's mood swings very well. Because this mood is similar to the mood of returning to my hometown after many years away from home, it is very warm, and the warmth makes those who return home moved to tears.

"Slave and maid meet Niangniang!"

When Wei Ziyao was stunned, some palace maids came over from the side and interrupted Wei Ziyao's stunned state with a loud voice.

These palace maids are all latecomers, although they have never seen Wei Ziyao before, they have all seen portraits.

At first, they were shocked when they saw someone standing in the doorway and refused to leave, and they didn't know who dared to desecrate this place so boldly. When they got closer and found that it was Wei Ziyao, they hurriedly bowed and saw them.

"I'm not a queen anymore, you don't have to salute me." Wei Ziyao asked, "Do you know me?" Why haven't I seen you? ”

A palace maid replied: "Back to Niangniang, Your Majesty has conveyed a will, saying that no matter where Niangniang is, Niangniang is always Niangniang." ”

"I see, go down." Wei Ziyao said.

"It's the mother, the slave and the maid are retired." The palace maid said.

After this interruption, Wei Ziyao calmed down completely, shook her head slightly to dispel the distracting thoughts in her heart, and then strode in and walked in.

"Zi Yao, how do you feel about coming back here after many years?" Wang Mang asked.

"I can't say exactly what it feels like, it makes me feel like I'm going home again, but it also makes me feel like time is in a hurry, everything that happened has become a thing of the past, and the past is no longer going back."

Wei Ziyao beckoned Wang Mang to sit down and said, "Lord Wang, this place is so well preserved, the environmental pattern is exactly the same as it was at the beginning, there is no change at all, and even the furnishings inside are not missing, this is what you mean, right?" ”
