"There is nothing going well or wrong in the matter of supervision, it just has to be done. If I could, I would like to spare them and imprison them for a while so that they can be rehabilitated. It's just that the current situation doesn't allow me to do this, and they have to die. From a certain point of view, they can also be regarded as sacrificing their lives for the country, which is conducive to the stability of the Han Dynasty. ”

Wang Mang responded to Wei Ziyao, and then said in a deep voice to Wang Jingyan: "Jingyan, I just watched you play against Niangniang, I was afraid that it would affect your mood, so I didn't say some things." Now that I've finished playing, I have a few things to tell you. ”

"What's the matter?" Wang Jingyan saw Wang Mang's solemn face, and said with some suspicion: "Could it be that something big happened to the emperor?" ”

Wang Mang replied: "Let's talk about the beheading first, this time I raided the Jia family, and Ji Yun and others attacked several strongholds of the Shangguan family overnight, and captured many elite masters of the Shangguan family, and even the uncle of Shangguan did not escape." At noon, I was forced by the situation to wield a butcher's knife with my own hands and kill Uncle Shangguan and others. Secondly, on that Kansai border ...."

"What? Shangguan's house was attacked by Ji Yun, and Uncle Shangguan was beheaded by you? Or are you pro-automatic? ”

Wang Jingyan didn't wait for Wang Mang to finish the rest of the words, and first exclaimed, "Xianggong, how can you do this?" Uncle Shangguan was arrested, you should do your best to rescue him. Why don't you save it? How will you deal with your mother in the future? Also, what about my sister-in-law? If you killed her father, then she must not kill you? ”

"I can't do anything about this, the Shangguan family has committed something, and the evidence is complete, how can I protect it in front of everyone?" Wang Mang said: "At the time of the execution, Ning Xuan appeared. This time, I'm afraid that the last trace of thought between me and her will be completely broken. If I run into her again next time, I guess she will really come to kill me. Of course, this is not the most important thing.

One of the more important things is that the border is lost. Guanxi, the buffer zone guarded by the fifteenth prince, was completely destroyed, and all the territories were occupied by the Xiongnu army. More than 100,000 defenders were wiped out, and the prince was also killed in battle at that time.

As for the people, millions of them were slaughtered, and the tragic situation is difficult to tell. At present, the Xiongnu army has gone to Gansu to attack Yumen Pass, and the situation is not optimistic. Just this matter, I'm afraid I won't be able to wait for two or three months, it is estimated that in just these ten days, I will leave the imperial capital and go to Yumen Pass first. ”

"Kansai lost? Even the fifteenth prince died in battle? How is this possible? ”

When Wei Ziyao and Qiu Tong heard this, they were even more shocked and unbelievable than Wang Jingyan heard Wang Mang say that he had killed Shangguan Hong.

"Lord Wang, this is impossible. The fifteenth prince Wen Taowu is in good spirits, and there are as many as 100,000 defenders under his control. Although these horses are not enough to confront the Huns head-on, but with the talent of the fifteenth prince, if he does not come out of the pass, the Huns will be helpless, otherwise after all these years, wouldn't the Huns have been able to fight a long time ago? . ”

"Yes, I've met with the fifteenth prince a few times. This person is superior in strategy and martial arts. With him, how could Kansai be lost? Who could kill him so easily? Qiu Tong said.

Wang Mang replied: "This news has just come from the border, and the incident happened a month ago. According to the battle situation at that time, the Xiongnu blockaded the news, and it did take about a month for outsiders to pass the news from the border. Now that General Zhang Ze is the first to pass on the news, it is not difficult to imagine that in the past few days, there must have been other people who have passed the news to ask for help.

As for why the prince was lost, this is nothing more than that there must have been many capable people on the Huns' side. After all, no one in this world dares to say that he can plan the world with his own wisdom, and neither can the fifteenth prince. In addition, since the Xiongnu dared to invade the Central Plains on a large scale this time, it is not difficult to imagine that they must have made sufficient preparations, with masters like clouds, fierce generals like rain, and strategists like tides.

Another point, perhaps the prince couldn't stand the Xiongnu massacre of the people in the frontier, so he had to give up the defensive position and take the initiative to attack. If this is the case, then the death of the prince in battle is also in the past. ”

"This, this, this....As soon as the fifteenth prince died, the Han Dynasty seemed to have lost half of its foundation. In this way, the Liu dynasty of the Han Dynasty is coming to an end? If this news is fully transmitted, the world will not be in chaos? Shall the people not be in fear all day? ”

"This needs to re-establish a stronger spiritual pillar, to let the people know that although the fifteenth prince died in battle, there are still more powerful capable people who guard the frontier, defend the country, and fight for the interests of the people."

"Re-establish a strong spiritual pillar?"

Wei Ziyao looked at Wang Mang with a strange look, "Lord Wang, you're not talking about yourself, are you?" Today, although the strength of the three top veteran families is stronger than you, if you want to say that they have prestige in the hearts of the people, I am afraid that they are far behind you, right? Even in the whole of Kyushu, you can't find anyone who can compete with you. So, you're that spiritual pillar? ”

"As it stands, it should be so." Wang Mang's face remained unchanged, and he said calmly: "I want to temporarily turn me into the faith of the people and give the people hope. In a country of turmoil, spiritual belief is indispensable, and this is fundamental. I just don't know how much resistance there will be to this plan.

The slaughter of millions of people in Kansai is the enmity of our Han Dynasty. I really hope that the major families in the imperial capital can unite once, go to the national disaster together, and step on the barbarians.

According to the true strength of my Han Kyushu, if we can gather all these forces, how can the Xiongnu be an opponent? How dare a foreign barbarian whisker? Now they are united in a large-scale invasion, and the only reason is that they see that our Han is scattered internally, and their forces cannot be concentrated. ”

Wei Ziyao said: "If you want to be this spiritual pillar, I'm afraid it's impossible, no one will allow you to do this." Your name as a saint is incomplete, but it has already touched the roots of those families. If you go any further, I'm afraid that before the Huns come over, they will kill you first, so as not to cause disaster at both ends. ”

That's why I'm a little embarrassed. I wasn't much sure about this expedition. The Huns are menacing, and I can predict how many masters and how many capable people there are in their army. And we are not capable, and the real masters hate me to the core. If I had known that the battle situation would turn out like this, I wouldn't have sent out Wuyazi, the senior brother of Senior Li. ”

Wang Jingyan didn't care what the battle situation was, she didn't want to ask, now she only had one thing in her mind about Wang Mang killing Shangguan Hong.

She didn't know what to do, and she was uneasy.

Shangguan Hong is Shangguan Ningxuan's biological father, and he has a good relationship with Xue Fengyi.

Wang Mang offended Shangguan Ning Xuan in Yingchuan before, not to mention, but now he killed Shangguan Hong with his own hands, which is simply a dead knot that cannot be untied.

She could imagine that Shangguan Ningxuan must have hated Wang Mang to the core, blaming him for not saving him when he saw death, and he had to kill him.
