Chapter 348: King Loulan is in a dilemma
"King Loulan, Liu Xin, the king of Dongping of the Han Empire, and his confidant Zhai Yi have always lobbied various states. They are now plotting a rebellion. Wang Mang actually sat idly by. Doesn't the king think it's strange? Prime Minister Loulan said worriedly.
"Yes! Didn't Wang Mang discover their misdeeds? King Loulan said worriedly.
"The minister thinks that Wang Mang must know! He just didn't want to bother them. Wang Mang's city is extremely deep, and he is completely luring the snake out of the hole. What we have to do now is sit back and see whether we succeed or fail. As long as whoever is the winner in the end, we will fall to whomever it is. We can't express our stance at will! Although Wang Mang is treacherous, he is now the de facto controller of the Han family. The prime minister analyzed.
However, King Gu also heard that the Xiongnu had united with Zhai Yi! If this is the case, King Gu is worried that the Xiongnu and Wusun may jointly attack us! When the time comes, will we be able to withstand the two great powers? Loulan is afraid that the country will die! "King Loulan's legs began to weaken.
"Don't worry, the king! The Huns and Wusun will not attack us casually until we have made a statement! Even if they want to attack, Wang Mang will naturally send troops to aid us in order to maintain the situation in the Western Regions! "The prime minister is still very calm.
"Really? You believe in Wang Mang like that? He can even slaughter his own son, can we believe such a person? King Loulan couldn't help but tremble.
This just shows that Wang Mang is a mercenary person! Such a person must only care about profits! In order to safeguard the interests of the Han family in the Western Regions, Wang Mang will inevitably come to our aid. Wang Mang is a careerist, and in order to realize his political ambitions, he will do whatever it takes! Guo ** smiled.
King Loulan continued to worry: "This is what the Lone King is most worried about! Wang Mang is so cunning, can his empire really be immortal? If he is overthrown, I'm afraid our Loulan Kingdom will be an accomplice! ”
"I'm afraid that the king doesn't understand their Han people! The Han people have always been: the first evil must be done, and the threat will never be asked! The prime minister smiled.
Just when King Loulan was talking about Wang Mang with the Prime Minister, Yan You and Wang Xun had already arrived at Yumen Pass.
Yan You and Wang Xun looked at the lively market on the street.
There are glass, pomegranates, walnuts, grapes, sweat and blood BMW and other goods.
There are also elephants massaging people in the streets, and camels walking around. The lion roars in its cage. However, passers-by are accustomed to it!
Yan You listened to the cries of the vendors, and thought: I can't imagine that there is such a prosperous place in the northwest. It seems that the rare treasures in the Western Regions are unimaginable to our Han Empire!
Wang Xun thought to himself: This time I come out, I must buy a few beauties from the Western Regions who have captivated the country and the city to go back! I've heard that women in the Western Regions do a good belly dance!
"Yan You! Let's go over there! There's a trickster over there! The acrobatics of the Western Regions are good! I heard that a magician who rested in peace recently came! Wang Xun couldn't help but dance with his eyebrows.
Yan You looked at Yan You with disdain, and thought: This Wang Xun is simply a gentleman! Eating, drinking, prostituting and gambling, all five poisons. He is really the scum of the Wang family! The character of His Majesty the Emperor is inseparable, it is simply a difference between cloud and mud!
"General Wang, Your Majesty asked us to come out to make friends with the countries of the Western Regions! Shouldn't we be like this? Aren't we betraying Your Majesty's trust in doing so? Yan You said angrily.
"Alright! You are the Great Sima, I listen to you! So be it! Let's get there as soon as possible! Wang Xun said reluctantly.
Wang Xun thought to himself: This Yan You, since he became His Majesty's Great Sima, he has been commanding me. If it weren't for the fact that you were His Majesty's classmate, I would have killed you? What is it? I am a cousin of His Majesty the Emperor. Your Yan family is not even a nobleman, if it weren't for His Majesty the Emperor to appreciate you. Your family background is, at best, a small county order!
Yan You and Wang Xun didn't know that there were Liu Xin and Zhai Yi in the crowd.
They looked at the goods on the street and couldn't help but feel melancholy.
Liu Xin sneered: "The widow originally thought that he was a rich man, but he saw the merchants of the Western Regions wearing gold and silver. The widow knew that he was just a poor man! These merchants of the Western Regions, especially the merchants of rest, have a lot of money in their pockets. It's a thousand times richer than the princes and kings of our Han family! ”
"Your Majesty, do you believe what I say now? The wealth of the Western Regions is unimaginable! The Western Regions were connected to the Empire of Anxi, the Kushan Empire, the Roman Empire, and other countries. I've heard that Caesar, the former Roman consul, wore the silk of our Han Empire! Zhai Yi said with a smile.
"The widow is lonely and unheard! Not very well known about the Roman Empire. The widows heard that they didn't even have an emperor, they were all consuls of their own choice! Liu Xin said with a gloomy face.
"Isn't it? The Romans lived in houses made of stone. They had perfect laws, and many orators could even put the consuls in jail. Zhai Yi said with a smile.
"It's kind of interesting. Rome is truly a country of fun. If there is a widow, he can one day be the emperor of the Han Empire. Be sure to send an envoy to the Roman Empire. In this way, the empire of the few will inevitably be rich! Liu Xin said confidently.
At this moment, Liu Xin saw a bald head giving a speech on the street.
"Believe me. Everything I do is for the afterlife! Good is rewarded with good, and evil is rewarded with evil. It's not that the time has not come! The bald man laughed.
A large crowd gathered around.
"Great King, that is a kind of sect, which was introduced by Guishan. They believe in many things. Their founder was a saint! Zhai Yi explained.
"Nonsense! Wang Mang has done a lot of evil, but he is still the emperor. Most of the officials of our Han family are diligent and honest, but they are all belittled by Wang Mang. How can such a world be rewarded with goodness? Liu Xin said viciously.
"Oh, my lord! Wang Mang is also for the people! In fact, he was a man of high moral character! Nor did he put his own son to death for his own selfish desires. His purpose was to propagate the spirit of the Fa. Just like Shang Ying, who was split by King Qin Huiwen for the sake of the law! Zhai Yi explained.
"You're not wrong. But Wang Mang harmed the interests of our Han clan relatives. If the people want to get the land, they will naturally divide up the land of our Han clan relatives. Therefore, we need to take up arms to defend our rights and interests! Liu Xin said angrily.
"Yes! However, Wang Mang's land policy can completely incite the people to fight us. If we want to defeat Wang Mang, the soldiers are fast! Don't hesitate! Zhai Yi said worriedly.
Dongping King Liu Xin thought: Why did the widow start to disbelieve in Zhai Yi? Zhai Yi is indeed a careerist! If we believe in him, we will probably be harmed by him!
So, will Liu Xin and Zhai Yi split? Can they really coexist peacefully? Will they fall apart?
