In the Weiyang Palace, many ministers once again conformed to the general trend and supported Wang Mang to change the dynasty and proclaim himself emperor.

In this support, those ministers commented on the past and the present, talked about the world and the earth, and talked about the Tao, and they were thirsty.

It seems that if Wang Mang is not the emperor, the heavens and the earth will collapse, the universe will be destroyed, the sun and the moon will sink, and life and death will survive.

All the courtiers who can express their personal opinions in Weiyang Palace are basically the dragons and phoenixes among people, and they are contemporary heroes. Many of them may be corrupt officials, treacherous and insidious people. But their wisdom and ability have always surpassed ordinary people, and they have extraordinary abilities. Otherwise, it would be absolutely impossible for them to become great officials, and it would be impossible for them to see the holy face of the Son of Heaven.

Since ancient times, there have never been idiots in the temples, nor have there been idiots with poor brains, only traitors who seek personal gain and patriotic loyal ministers.

If they are loyal, the common people think that these people are full of wisdom. If they are traitors, the people will think that these people are incompetent.

However, treachery is treachery, and incompetence is incompetence, and the two cannot be confused, because incompetent people cannot be treacherous.

Junjie Junjie, what is Junjie, and those who know the times are Junjie.

Who among the courtiers standing in Weiyang Palace at the moment doesn't know the current situation? Wang Mang said that the emperor was imperative, and no one could stop him. If you rashly act as a car, you will only end up with a broken family.

Therefore, they were all very cooperative with the attitude of Gongsun Ce, Wei Gonghan and others, and issued requests one after another, imploring Wang Mang to immediately conform to the will of Tianxin and call the emperor emperor.

As for those royalist officials, although their hearts were full of anger and dissatisfaction, and they were also very suspicious that the death of Emperor Liu Yin of the Han Ping Dynasty was the poisonous hand of Wang Mang, but at this juncture, Liu Yin was dead, this is a fact, and it cannot be changed, so they did not dare to raise any objections, and could only follow behind and say some involuntary flattery.

Wang Mang stood in the center of the front of the ministers, and he watched everyone elect himself to the throne as emperor, and his heart was not turbulent, because all this was expected by him.

He secretly wondered if the scene in history where "Wang Mang" was supported by the ministers to ascend the throne and become emperor was the same as the current situation, and whether history was like this.

He was a little confused, a little hesitant.

After a long time, he gradually eased his senses.

"Ministers, since you have all elected me to the Weiyang Palace, the prime minister of Kyushu Heshan, the emperor of the heavens, and His Majesty's edict also has this will, then it seems too absurd if I continue to resign. In this way, I promise you to rebuild Kyushu on behalf of the Han royal family and restore peace to the people. ”

"Your Majesty is sage, Your Majesty is immortal, admired through the ages...."

After Gongsun Ce heard Wang Mang's consent, he was the first to bow and pay homage, shouting long live.

As soon as he started, the other ministers also began to change their titles, all of them called Wang Mang His Majesty, acquiescing that the Han Dynasty has become a thing of the past, a new dynasty has begun, and Wang Mang is the new generation of the lord of Kyushu.

Wang Mang shook his head with a smile and said: "Although I am willing to enter the Weiyang Palace, but at present, Your Majesty has not taken care of the future, so I can't ascend the throne and become the emperor immediately, and I need to take some time." In this way, after the Ji family is destroyed, we will come to hold the enthronement ceremony, and seal the altar and sacrifice to heaven. ”

"No, no."

Qin Tianjian said: "Your Majesty, as the saying goes, it is better to choose a day than to hit the day, I think it is better to finish the ceremony today." And today is an auspicious day of the zodiac, and you can hold a great ceremony to pray to heaven to ascend the throne and become emperor. Also, a home cannot be left without an owner for a day, and a country cannot be without a king for a day. If Your Majesty delays some time to complete the enthronement ceremony, I'm afraid it will be a little inappropriate.

And it is a big deal to exterminate the Ji family's anti-thieves, if His Majesty drives the expedition with the immeasurable majesty of the emperor's infinite supreme, he will definitely be invincible, attack everything, get twice the result with half the effort, and the name is justified. The minister implored His Majesty to complete the ceremony quickly, take charge of the rivers and mountains of Kyushu, and control the group. ”

"Well..... this"

Wang Mang hesitated, because although he was mentally prepared to ascend the throne and become emperor, his preparations for the matter were not complete, because his original intention was to become emperor after destroying the Ji family, not now.

Wei Gonghan seemed to see Wang Mang's difficulty, and he stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, are you worried that the preparations for the title of emperor have not been completed?" If this is the case, please don't worry about it, there are many skilled craftsmen in the Chenwei family, as long as the minister orders immediately, the minister's family will definitely be able to prepare all the necessary things in a few hours. ”

"Okay, since that's the case, then it's all up to Lord Wei."

Wang Mang made up his mind and immediately became emperor.

"Spread my will, five hours later, the ceremony of sealing the heavens and proclaiming the emperor will be held in Jianzhang Palace, and at the same time, the order will be passed down, and the whole world will be amnesty immediately. At the same time, the decree was sent down to release all the concubines who had been locked in the cold palace, and to respect their respective wishes to go and stay.

If they are willing to stay in the palace for the rest of their lives, then they will be treated as concubines, and if they are not willing to stay in the palace, they can transfer silver taels from the treasury to give them help. ”

As soon as he gave the order, the father-in-law quickly conveyed the will.

Wei Gonghan asked: "Your Majesty, although there is a king in the country now, but there is no queen, I don't know if Your Majesty has any arrangements for this matter?" Who is the queen? ”

Wang Mang nominally married two women, one is Wang Jingyan and the other is Shi Xiuying. But Wei Gonghan knew that Wang Mang's sister-in-law, Shangguan Ningxuan, was actually Wang Mang's woman, and she was also Wang Mang's most beloved woman, but she didn't have a name for the time being.

He didn't know who Wang Mang planned to appoint as the queen, so he hurriedly asked so that he could arrange for people to rush to make the emperor's clothes and phoenix crown.

"Queen?" Wang Mang frowned, thought for a moment, and then turned to the eunuch and said, "You quickly go to the cold palace and invite the former queen Wei Ziyao to meet you." ”

"Yes, Your Majesty!" The eunuch received the order and quickly retreated.

When about half an hour passed, the eunuch led Wei Ziyao to Weiyang Palace. And on the way here, the father-in-law had already clearly explained the current imperial pattern to Wei Ziyao.

This eunuch is a smart man, he knows the affection between Wang Mang and Wei Ziyao, and he knows very well about Wang Mang drawing his sword against Feng Yi for Wei Ziyao. He expected that Wei Ziyao would definitely be favored by Wang Mang when he came out of the cold palace this time, and he wanted to have a good relationship with Wei Ziyao so that he could act in the palace in the future.

After Wei Ziyao came to Weiyang Palace and saw Wang Mang, her eyes immediately flashed with wisps of divine light, and her spirit was flying.

After being locked up in the cold palace for several years, her demeanor is still the same, her charm is undiminished, and she is still the first beauty in the world back then.

"Your Majesty, peace of mind!" Wei Ziyao bowed, blushed slightly, and asked delicately, "I don't know what Your Majesty ordered to summon your concubines to come?" ”

Wang Mang couldn't help but smile when he saw Wei Ziyao's brilliance, he hadn't seen Wei Ziyao for a long time, and when he saw it at this moment, he immediately thought of the good times he had with Wei Ziyao in the cold palace prison that day.

At the beginning, he went to the cold palace once, and he was very disgusted with the oppressive atmosphere in the cold palace, and he was very afraid that Wei Ziyao would not be able to stand the atmosphere of the cold palace and lose his mind. Because the concubines who are locked up inside are crazy nine times out of ten.

"Zi Yao, just now Lord Wei asked me who I plan to make the queen. After thinking about it, I think that since you are the queen of the previous dynasty and have the wind of the world, then I want to make you the queen, I don't know if you are willing? ”
