Chapter 279: Abolition of the Empress, Controversy among the Ministers

"Feng Yi, you are so bold that you dare to slander the queen?"

Wang Mang roared angrily: "The queen mother is the world, and she has won the trust of the people, and the trust of civil and military officials. At present, although she is temporarily residing in my Wuhou General's Mansion, it is only to discuss national affairs with her ministers. As an important minister of the court, you do not contribute to the country, but slander the queen, slander the queen, and ignore the queen's merits, which is a great crime. ”

"A big sin? What a joke. The queen's status is noble, even if she discusses court affairs with you in your general's mansion, she should not live in the general's mansion for a long time. Also, the official has received a secret report that the queen often comes and goes in and out of your study and bedroom, how do you explain this? Could it be that you will discuss things, and instead of discussing in the council room, you will go to the bedroom to discuss it?

If so, who in the world will believe it? Wang Mang, don't rely on your own power, you can lawlessly override public opinion. ”

Feng Yi shook his hand and took out dozens of pieces from his cuffs.

These concerts were written by the magistrates to ask the Son of Heaven to abolish the empress, and they were arranged by him in advance.

Originally, he still wanted to launch an attack on Wang Mang a few days later, but now things are changing too quickly, and he has to act in advance. You have to get rid of Wei Ziyao first and disturb Wang Mang's mind. Then with the help of Wang Mang's distraction, he looked for Wang Mang's loopholes and carried out a lore.

"Wang Mang, if you still respect Your Majesty as the Son of Heaven, then you should reflect on your own mistakes and order the queen to be arrested and handed over to Your Majesty for disposal. Of course, if you want to defend the queen strongly, ignore Your Majesty's face, ignore the face of the dynasty, and ignore the will of the people in the world, then this official will have to use the power of the entire territory of Zhuzhou to confront you and maintain the supergang. ”

"Bastard, Feng Yi, I didn't expect you to be a seven-foot man, and now in order to deal with me, you actually use a woman to be angry and use it as a shield. Do you have a conscience, do you have a heart? Don't the people of the world know it, don't you know who the queen is? Wang Mang said angrily.

"What can I do? Can I represent the world? Feng Yi said sharply: "Wang Mang, the queen is half of the Han Dynasty, and her business is a major event in the world." As a courtier, you are so partial to the queen, which is quite rude, and people have to suspect that you have a personal relationship with the queen, which is a big taboo. This official advises you to think about it and don't come nonsense, so as not to end up miserable.

At present, as long as the queen dies, the people will be stable, and the dispatch of troops will be extremely smooth. Therefore, regardless of whether the queen did anything rude, she had to die. Of course, her death was glorious, great, and sacrificing her life for the country, worthy of our admiration. If she is still free, it will shake the foundation of the Han Dynasty. ”

Wang Mang listened to Feng Yi's accusation, his face turned red, and he couldn't find a good rebuttal for a while.

After all, he was at fault for this matter first, and the queen really couldn't stay overnight at the courtier's house, which was a big taboo.

Originally, he still thought that no matter how unbearable Feng Yi and the others were, they would not come to calculate a woman. Now he understands that he underestimated Feng Yi's shameless bottom line.

When the civil and military officials saw Feng Yi attacking Wang Mang with this matter, they all secretly kept a heart, wanting to see how Wang Mang should deal with it.

Wang Mang has always paid attention to friendship, if he stays out of the way now and throws Wei Ziyao out to prevent disasters, then he will definitely be ridiculed by the world. will be pointed at the backbone and scolded that he can't even protect a woman, what face does he have to lead the army, and what face does he have to be an important minister of the court?

Of course, if he insists on defending Wei Ziyao, then he will still be scolded by the world. said that he didn't know the general situation, only valued women, and was useless, etc.

All in all, this matter is a dead knot, and it is difficult to find a suitable way out no matter how it is handled.

Wang Xiannian frowned and wanted to say a few words, but he didn't know what to say.

He couldn't intervene in this matter, after all, Wei Ziyao really lived in General Wuhou's Mansion, and really stayed for two or three days.

He is not easy to speak, and Huo Jianghai, the prime minister at the head of the hundred officials, is also not easy to speak. This kind of thing can only be solved by the parties concerned, and outsiders rashly mixing in it will only add chaos and attract ridicule.

Wang Mang is the supreme commander of the expedition against the Huns, in Huo Jianghai's heart, he really doesn't want to see someone attack Wang Mang at this time, for fear of affecting Wang Mang's mind, if Wang Mang's unstable mind leads to the defeat of the war, then he may also have bad luck.

His Huo family did not have that kind of talent against the sky, and he could not resist the Xiongnu army.

And at present, the most suitable person to command the world's soldiers and horses is only Wang Mang, as for the officials of the Zhuzhou faction, although there are many capable people, but the prestige is insufficient, it is not safe, and the officials of the Zhuzhou faction are very ambitious, and everyone is not at ease to let these people lead the troops to the border.

One of the three princes, the imperial historian Wei Gonghan, pondered, a pair of tiger eyes flickered, thinking about the key to the problem.

Wei Ziyao is a member of his Wei family, and he can speak. But at this moment, he didn't know how to speak.

If he helps Feng Yi, then he can occupy the reputation of righteous annihilation, can enhance the foundation of the Wei family, and make the people trust. Conducive to future development.

If he helps Wang Mang, then he may be implicated, attacked by the people, lose face, and lose his background.

However, Wang Mang is in a high position, which is very important, at this juncture, he thinks the same as Huo Jianghai, and is afraid that Wang Mang will be unstable because of Wei Ziyao's killing, which will lead to instability and disaster.

"Your Majesty, I beg your Majesty to send the queen to death row quickly. lest the delay be too long and cause greater trouble. As for sending troops to the frontier, although Lord Wang has a very high prestige, he is the first suitable candidate. But the minister also has a little strategy, and he can also lead the troops to suppress the Xiongnu instead of him.

The minister dared to guarantee that if the king was unwilling to lead his troops because of this, the minister could make a military order to hold the frontier forever and recover the lost land. If there is no death, the minister is at his disposal. ”

Liu Xin replied: "Mrs. Feng, can't this matter really be eased?" Wei Ziyao has been in the palace for eight years, and she has never been rude, so it is really inappropriate to dispose of her. ”

"It really can't be eased anymore, Your Majesty must know that governing the world is like cooking a small fresh, and you can't be careless in the slightest, otherwise there will be disaster." Feng Yidao.

"Hmph, gibberish."

Wang Xiannian finally couldn't help it, he saw that Wang Mang had killed Shangguan Hong with his own hands yesterday, and it was expected that Wang Mang was now angry. If he is allowed to ignore Wei Ziyao's safety again, then maybe Wang Mang will not collapse.

Wang Mang is the cornerstone of his Wang family that he selected to develop, he wants to use Wang Mang's power to stabilize his Wang family's power, form a permanent alliance with Wang Mang, and have a good relationship with Xue Fengyi.

If Wang Mang loses, he feels that the next unlucky person must be his own Wang family.

"Taifu Feng, what virtue do you have, how dare you say that you can lead the army to the frontier to fight the Huns? How much is your warrant worth? Could it be that your life is more important than my Han Jiangshan? Wang Mang is the best candidate for the commander of this expedition, and no one can replace him. Therefore, I think that the queen's affairs can be suppressed for the time being, and we will talk about it after Wang Mang wins the battle.

There is another point, you didn't talk about the queen in the morning, and you didn't talk about the queen later, but now you want to say, what are your intentions? Could it be that you are a spy sent by the Huns? Deliberately causing trouble at this juncture? ”

"Yes, that's right." Xiangyang Assassin Shi Qian Zhongyang and Wang Mang cooperated once and formed an alliance. He didn't want to see Wang Mang lose, so he said: "Taifu Feng, you just said that you have the ability to lead the troops to the frontier, so the lower official has a question. Previously, when Wang Mang had not entered the court, why didn't you promise Your Majesty to lead the troops?

Could it be that Wang Mang has entered the court, and you have this ability? Isn't that a big joke? Also, Wang Mang is a saint in the mouth of the people, and his prestige is very high, what virtue do you have, how can you compare with him? The lower officials advised Taifu not to forget his official duties because of selfishness and affect major events. ”
