Wang Shang saw the envoy of the poisonous country (present-day India) step forward and took out a mirror.

Wang Shang looked at it and said with a smile: "The old man heard that His Majesty Emperor Xiaoxuan of my Han Dynasty is a person who likes to be poisoned by treasure mirrors. ”

"Yes, our poisonous treasure mirror can see the past and the future. But you need to meet someone who is destined. Back then, His Majesty Emperor Xiaoxuan saw himself in the mirror 'wearing a crown on his head and wearing a dragon robe', and he knew that he had the destiny of the Son of Heaven. ”

Wang Shang was shocked by the words of the poisonous envoy. He thought to himself: If this is the case, then wouldn't this treasure mirror be able to see the future of our Wang family?

However, Wang Shang thought about it again: No, if other people discover the heavenly opportunity, wouldn't it be bad for our Wang family?

Wang Shang pretended to be calm, stretched out his hand, took the treasure mirror of the poisonous envoy, and said with a smile: "This is really a rare treasure." Take it. ”

Wang Shang then gave the mirror to the butler.

The steward thought to himself, "If I look in this mirror, won't I know my future?" Maybe, I can also pay homage to the prime minister!

At the same time, Emperor Cheng heard that the birthday banquet held in the merchant of King Sima was more pompous than the imperial banquet of the palace.

Emperor Cheng asked the eunuch Xiao Shunzi: "In these dynasties, can there be officials who are so presumptuous?" Who dares to surpass his own king? ”

"Your Majesty, there is. This was the case with Yi Yin of the Shang Dynasty. The same is true of Huo Guang of this dynasty. ”

"Haha. It seems that Wang Shang wants to be a powerful minister like Huo Guang. I really want to kill him. ”

"Your Majesty, you still need to think about this matter in the long run. The relatives of the Wang family represented by Wang Shang are big trees with deep roots. The protégés of the Wang family's relatives are all over the government and the opposition. ”

"That's not necessarily, as long as we can find a way to destroy Wang Shang, everything will be easy."

"The Wang family is the queen mother's mother's family, if Wang Shang is destroyed. I'm afraid that the Confucian scholars will say that Your Majesty is not filial. ”

"Xiao Shunzi, but I don't destroy the Wang family. I'm afraid I'm going to be a puppet for the rest of my life! ”

"The same is true of Emperor Xiaoxuan. He endured Huo Guang for decades before he got his own pro-government. ”

"That's not what worries me the most. The point is that I don't have a son. If I once ride the crane to the west. I'm afraid that Hanting will set off a bloody storm. ”

The eunuch Xiao Shunzi looked at the extremely tangled look on Emperor Cheng's face, and his heart was also very uncomfortable. He felt like he was being pricked in a pins and needles.

He comforted Emperor Cheng and said, "Your Majesty, you are wrong. Your Majesty is in good health, as long as you go to the harem more, maybe there will be a prince? ”

"Little Shunzi, you don't have to comfort me. I don't think there will be any more princes in my life. My throne can only be inherited by the princes and kings. ”

"Your Majesty, no. Lin Guiren is already pregnant with the dragon bell. After that, the imperial doctor ordered a diagnosis, he is a prince! ”

Emperor Cheng looked at Xiao Shunzi's eyebrows fluttering, and he was shocked, he said to himself: "No, why don't I remember that I have been fortunate to Lin Guiren recently." Could it be that I forgot? ”

When Xiao Shunzi heard this, he thought: Eighty percent of it is that His Majesty is busy with government and has forgotten.

Xiao Shunzi said with a smile: "The slave will go to show His Majesty's "Concubine Happiness Record" in the harem to Your Majesty. ”

I saw that Xiao Shunzi hurriedly brought a bunch of bamboo slips and put them on the table.

Emperor Cheng searched for a while and picked out one of them, "Lin Guiren".

He slowly opened it and looked at it, and was immediately shocked, the last time he was in Xinglin was three months ago. As usual, Lin Guiren should have been found pregnant by the Imperial Doctor's order. How could it have just been discovered? Could there be something else going on here?

Xiao Shunzi also vaguely felt that something was wrong, and he smiled: "Your Majesty will not be a whim, fortunate to Lin Guiren." But there's no record, huh? ”

"Have I ever been? In the past three months, I have been reviewing and reviewing in Weiyang Palace. Could it be that Lin Guiren committed adultery with others and had children? ”

The more Emperor Cheng thought about it, the more scared he became.

He thought to himself: If Lin Guiren did this, I would definitely kill her and her adulterer.

Besides, on Wang Mang's side, he and his wife's carriage had already arrived in Handan in Zhao State at this time. At this time, King Zhao heard that Wang Mang had arrived on his own territory, and thought: Haha, what a godsend. The widow originally wanted to kill Wang Mang. And now he's here himself! Oh yes!

He then approached Liu Yang, Marquis of Zhending, to discuss countermeasures.

Marquis Zhending smiled: "His Royal Highness King Zhao." We need to send assassins to kill Wang Mang. If the court investigates it, let's deny it again. ”

"That's not right. Although this ploy sounds good. But are the people of the court stupid? Can't you really find out? And the biggest difficulty is that Wang Mang's reputation is too good. The Huo family and other famous families on the rivers and lakes were unwilling to kill him. felt that killing him would be spurned by the world. ”

"O king, you think too highly of Hoss. That's because we didn't get the money in place. If we can give the Fu family double the gold. Hoss will also be shaken. Last time in the Xiongnu, the Empress Dowager Fu gave the price of ten boxes of gold. Eventually, Hoss sent someone as well. ”

"Isn't that also a feather return? The widow thinks that it is necessary for us to give a large price. Let Hoth personally kill Wang Mang. ”

"But His Royal Highness King Zhao, I'm afraid that the treasury of our Zhao Kingdom is not so abundant."

"Are you stupid? Isn't the richest businessman in our Zhao country very rich? His business expanded into the Roman Empire. ”

"His Royal Highness King Zhao is talking about Guo Chang? He's my friend. ”

"yes. Guo Chang hated Wang Mang the most. Wang Mang took away his wife. As long as we agree, after the matter is completed, we will reward Liu Yao to him. Even if he broke the bank, he would be willing. ”

Zhen Dinghou looked at King Zhao's smiling demeanor and thought: As an elder brother, should I respect my sister's choice? Besides, since my sister is already married to Wang Mang, she should follow her husband and wife, and she shouldn't kill Wang Mang again.

Besides, Wang Mang's side, after coming to Zhao State, his fourth wife, Princess Fuyu, summoned Xinu to see the endless stream of vendors coming and going on the streets of Handan.

There are those who sell crystal cups, those who sell toys, and those who sell seasonal vegetables and meat products. There are also those who sell grapes, bananas and other rare fruits (note: in the Han Dynasty, grapes and bananas were very rare).

Princess Xinu is like "Grandma Liu enters the Grand View Garden", looking at everything fresh. She thought to herself: My husband took me to the bustling Handan, it's really the right time.

Wang Jingyan looked at Princess Zhaoxinu jumping around, and thought: This princess of Fanbang is simply a second goods. How could her husband fall in love with her?

Wang Mang looked at Princess Zhaoxinu's funny appearance and thought: This Princess Zhaoxinu is a lonely nightmare. What to do? If she saw that Emperor Cheng was still so unscrupulous, she would really kill Lone.

So, what kind of story will King Zhao's assassin and Wang Mang deduce?
