The early dynasty is divided into large and small dynasties, and the small dynasty is once every seven days. Whether the civil and military officials come or not is up to them, and the emperor has no ability to restrain them.

Under normal circumstances, powerful officials basically do not go to every early dynasty. I only go once a month, or when there is a big event.

Only those officials who are not too powerful will honestly go to the early court and talk about trivial things.

As for the early dynasty, according to the custom, once every six months, and once a year under special circumstances, just like the modern people's assembly.

Therefore, if this early pilgrimage is held, no matter how big or small the official position is, and what the power is, basically no one will be absent. Unless there is a major problem with local politics. In addition, assassins, marquis, and generals from all over the country will come to discuss things, compete for interests, and report the situation.

said that after Wang Mang returned to the general's mansion, Wang Jingyan hurriedly came to see him.

"Xianggong, did your trip go well? How's it going? It's early in the morning, are you prepared? ”

Wang Mang replied: "There is nothing going well, those city officials and wealthy businessmen are hindered by my current power, and they don't dare to mess around for a while." According to my reckoning, after I am gone, they will start to make trouble again, and I can't deal with it for the time being.

Jingyan, don't mention these things for the time being, and leave them for later. There's another important thing I have to tell you about. ”

"What's important?" Wang Jingyan asked.

"This time I went out and met Ning Xuan. She said that after my mother came, she would come to see you after I led the army out of Qingzhou. Also, I think she seems to be starting to forgive me now. The next time you see her, will you say good things for me and try to keep her here? I told her about it at the time, and her mind was wavering. ”

"Oh? Have you met your sister-in-law? How did you see that? Didn't she hide from you all the time? Wang Jingyan said strangely.

When Wang Mang heard this, he told the reason for it, and he didn't even miss the kiss.

After Wang Jingyan heard this, her face was full of joy, "Xianggong, you have done a good job." Judging from this situation, my sister-in-law must have forgiven you. She just can't let go of her identity for a while, so she can't agree to you coming here, and she is shy.

Don't worry about this, as long as she comes, I will leave her even if it is soft and hard. From now on, she is my sister, your woman, not my sister-in-law.

But the Ji Yun, Ji Rou, Ji Yan and others you mentioned, you have to be careful. You have to find a way to catch them all. I think that although my sister-in-law's willow sword was taken away by them, they should still not let go of my sister-in-law, and they will definitely arrest my sister-in-law. ”

"Ji Yun and others, I have to kill, you can rest assured. And, I already have a rough strategy in mind to deal with them. ”

"That's good, as long as they are all dead, my sister-in-law will really get rid of the threat."

Wang Jingyan was excited and talked to Wang Mang for a long time.

In the end, she suddenly remembered something and hurriedly said, "Xianggong, uncle and cousin came a few days ago, you go and talk to them first, so as not to make them feel unsure." Also, two days ago, Yu Lao, Xiangyang assassin Shi Qian Zhongyang, and Shangguan's uncle all sent people over. Said to ask you if you are ready, do you have any arrangements for this? ”

"Yu Lao's affairs will not be finalized until after my court meeting." Wang Mang asked, "Where are they now, uncle?" ”

"Over there in the attic of the Grace Garden."

"All right, I'll go see them. Jingyan, you go back to your room to rest first, and when I'm done, I'll go to you again. ”

After speaking, Wang Mang left the study and walked towards the attic of Yayuan.

After a while, he came to Yayuan, entered the door, and saw Wang Xianzhi and Wang Ping.

When Wang Xianzhi saw Wang Mang, he was stunned at first, and then immediately reacted. Quickened his pace and came to Wang Mang, and wanted to lean down.

Wang Mang was quick with his hands, helped him up, and sat down.

Wang Xianzhi said with tears in his eyes: "Mang'er, I know everything, I know everything." I know all about that year. I'm sorry for you, I'm sorry for you. ”

Wang Mang left Yuzhou in a hurry, and he knew that there must be something wrong with it.

Then, after careful investigation, I finally learned the inside story and felt guilty.

Since then, he has wanted to go to Liaoning many times to make amends, but he has no face to go. Therefore, when the six counties of Yuzhou were besieged by Zhuqiang, he insisted on not asking Wang Mang for help, feeling faceless.

As soon as he saw Wang Mang sending someone to pick him up this time, he immediately hurried over 800 miles to apologize.

Wang Mang's father and eldest brother died because of him, and for so many years, he has never forgotten this life-saving grace.

As for Wang Hai and Wang Sheng, although they also knew about this matter, it didn't happen to them after all, so this gratitude was not too obvious to them.

"Uncle, it's not your fault. It's me who has brought this to you. Wang Mang said with emotion.

"If the Son does not teach, the Father is guilty. Back then, Sheng'er calculated that Jingyan almost caused Yan'er to die in the womb. Hai'er used the soldiers and the people to insult you many times, accuse your sister-in-law, and force you to leave Yuzhou, which is a great treacherous crime. I have no way to discipline you, causing you to lose control of the six counties of Yuzhou. Mang'er, my sins, it's not a pity to die 10,000 times. ”

"Uncle, don't say that, the loss of Yuzhou is an irreversible situation, and manpower cannot force it. Now that so many years have passed, it's time to let go. Uncle, this time my nephew invited you to come here, but I have something to ask for, I wonder if my uncle can help me? ”

"What's the matter? Say it. As long as I can do it, I promise to go to the soup and do it for you. ”

Wang Xianzhi didn't know why Wang Mang let him come to Qingzhou, and he was puzzled.

Now that he heard that Wang Mang had something to ask for, he immediately became excited, and felt that the opportunity to atone for his sins had come. After a hundred years, I went to Huangquan, and I also had a trace of face to see Wang Mang's father, Wang Xianxiao.

Wang Mang replied: "Uncle, you also know about the frontier, I will lead the army to pacify the barbarians in two months. However, I am not proficient in leading the army, and it is difficult to convince the public. Therefore, I would like to ask you, uncle, to sit in charge of the three armies for me and serve as a deputy marshal. ”

"What? I'll sit in charge of the three armies for you and serve as deputy marshal? ”

When Wang Xianzhi heard this, he was shocked. He never expected that Wang Mang would be so entrusted with such a heavy responsibility.

"Yes, I'd like to ask you to take charge for me, uncle. You are a general of Huwei, with many years of experience in fighting against the Huns, and you can serve the public. In particular, it can deter the soldiers and horses jointly produced by the major families. Wang Mang nodded.

"This...."

Wang Xianzhi thought about it for a long time, and said with some hesitation: "Mang'er, although I have commanded the army for many years, I have never commanded such a large army. In this way, if there is a slight mistake, won't it affect your prestige? ”

"No, no!" Wang Mang shook his head and said, "Uncle, in recent decades, not only have you not commanded so many soldiers and horses, but others have also not commanded them. Now that I am joining forces with you, I will succeed.

As you know, although my subordinates have many strategists and many geniuses, none of them are handsome, nor do they have the supreme prestige, and they are not enough to lead an army of five or six hundred thousand to fight. You are the only one who can take on this responsibility. ”

Wang Ping, who was on the side, nodded and agreed: "Father, what my cousin said in this matter is true. Now the cousin has the name of a saint among the people, and he can convince most of the soldiers. Then, with your father, your prestige, it is enough to intimidate the remaining part of the army. You and your cousin join forces, one is just like one article and one martial arts, and you can indeed get things done. ”

When Wang Xianzhi heard this, he gritted his teeth, nodded and said, "Okay, I promise you this." This time, even if I fight an old bone, I will definitely win that world-famous military merit for you. Perfect the name of the saint for you, help you reform the world, and achieve great things. ”

When Wang Mang heard him agree, he was immediately overjoyed: "Thank you, uncle!" ”
