Empress Dowager Wei continued to laugh and said, "Your Majesty, do you know that Wang Mang is the reincarnation of the White Snake?" ”

Emperor Ping looked at Empress Dowager Wei curiously, a little incredulous.

Empress Dowager Wei continued the story just now:

Ning Hu Yan recalled the scene of playing games with Wang Mang when he was young, and refused to assassinate Wang Mang.

However, Fu Yan immediately changed his words and said, "Ning Hu Yan's family." You don't want to think about it, who made you in this bitter cold place? ”

"It's His Majesty Emperor Yuan." Ning Hu Yan said.

"That's not right." Fu Yan corrected.

"It's Mao Yanshou, the old damned, I don't know if he's retired now." Ning Hu Yan smiled.

Xia Guan told Ning Hu Yan's mother. Mao Yanshou is dead. Fu Yan said with a smile.

"How did you die? Could it be that he died of illness? Ning Hu Yan asked.

"He was beheaded by His Majesty Emperor Yuan. Not only that, but His Majesty Emperor Yuan also beheaded all the court painters. Because of you. Fu Yan said with a smile.

"How is that possible? The mourning family has killed so many people? Ning Hu Yan said blankly.

"Do you know who started it? Empress. Fu Yan deliberately asked rhetorically.

"It's His Majesty Emperor Yuan." Ning Hu Yan smiled.

"No, it's their royal family. All the matters of choosing concubines have always been the responsibility of Wang Zhengjun and Wang Feng. Mao Yanshou painted you crooked melons and cracked dates, which is the meaning of the Wang family. The Wang family bought Mao Yanshou a mansion in the capital. Fu Yan said with a smile.

Ning Hu Yan felt her heart pierced by a sword, and she slowly stepped back and said, "This is impossible. Wang Zhengjun and I have no grievances or enmity. Why did he hurt me? ”

"Think about it. In the second year after you and your relatives, Emperor Yuan died. You want to return to your hometown with honor, but now His Majesty says that you should respect the customs of the Xiongnu and marry Shan Yu instead. Isn't that what the Queen Mother meant? Fu Yan said with a smile.

"Then what good is it for the Queen Mother?" Ning Hu still couldn't believe it.

"Ning Hu Yan, you are the same age as Your Majesty. If you return to the Han Dynasty, Your Majesty will inevitably accept you as a concubine. In this way, it is extremely detrimental to the stability of the harem. Fu Yan said.

"Impossible?" Ning Hu Yan cried.

"Mother, the truth is always hard to accept. But you can't go back to the Han Dynasty, in fact, even if the Wang family is doing something in the way. Think about it, why the Han Dynasty. You have sacrificed your whole life to die in this barren land. Our Queen Mother will help you. Fu Yan said skillfully.

"Master Fu. Are you helping me? Or is it for your Fu family? The mourning family is worried, help you get rid of the Wang family, and support Liu Xin, the king of Dingtao, to become the emperor, and you will turn your face and deny people when the time comes. Ning Hu Yan roared.

"Ning Hu Yan Niangniang. Our Fu family has always talked and counted. This is why the Tao country has a good reputation. In Dingtao Country, I gave money for a piece of cloth. You can send someone to inquire. On the contrary, it was their royal family who took advantage of it. If Wang Mang is in prison, it is because he connived at the corruption of the Wang family. Fu Yan slandered Wang Mangdao.

"Master Fu,. Wang Mang is not such a person, right? The mourning family knows Wang Mang. Ning Hu Yan said.

"You don't know. Ning Hu Yan Niangniang. Wang Mang was taught badly by his eldest uncle Wang Feng. He is now also married to the Marquis of Zhending of Zhao and married Liu Yao, a relative of the Han family. His ambition is no longer just the position of the Great Sima, what he wants is the Jiangshan Sheji of our Han Dynasty. Fu Yan said.

"How is that possible? The relatives of the Wang family received the emperor's grace. Since Emperor Xuan, he has been a relative, and now the saint has given the Wang family great glory. Why did the Wang family rebel? Wang Mang doesn't look like a chaotic minister and thief, right? Ning Hu still didn't believe it.

". I know people and faces, but I don't know my heart. It is precisely because of the high status of the royal family that they covet the throne. Several people in the Wang family served as Da Sima, Wang Feng, and Wang Shang in a row. If you want to go further, you can only seek to usurp the throne. Fu Yan said bewildermently.

"yes. However, the mourning family still did not believe that a humble gentleman like Wang Mang would seek to usurp the throne. If it is said that Chun Yuchang will seek to usurp the throne, the mourning family may believe it. Ning Hu Yan said.

"This is a portrait of Wang Mang." Fu Yan took out a painting from his sleeve.

Ning Hu Yan looked at it and asked, "Is there any problem?" ”

"Niangniang, don't you think it looks like some animal?" Fu Yan prompted.

"It's a python." Ning Hu Yan asked.

"That's right. Wang Mang's face resembles a python. In that year, Emperor Gaozu slashed the White Snake in Mangdang Mountain and rebelled. After the White Snake was killed, he was reincarnated as Wang Mang. Wang Mang wanted to slaughter the Han Dynasty clan and establish a new dynasty. Fu Yan said.

"It's unbelievable, it's far-fetched." Ning Hu still didn't believe it.

"So be it. The mother asked the sorcerer to come over for divination. I can show you the things of the past. Fu Yan said.

"Could it be that Master Fu is proficient in metaphysics? Able to cast spells? Ning Hu Yan asked.

"yes." Fu Yan said.

Then, the wizard arrived.

Fu Yan said: "I borrowed the thousand-year-old turtle shell of the mage. ”

The wizard took out the thousand-year-old tortoise shell and placed it on the table.

Fu Yan rolled up his sleeves and spewed flames to ignite the turtle shell.

Suddenly, the firelight turned into a mirror.

In the mirror, I saw that a big python snake said to a middle-aged man: "Liu Ji, if my white snake is killed by you today, I must kill all your children and grandchildren and cut off the foundation of your dynasty." ”

"Don't talk nonsense." Liu Ji wielded his sword and was about to kill the white snake.

The White Snake said, "If you cut off my head, I'll start something with your empire." If you chop off my tail, I'll make something happen to your empire when it ends. ”

Liu Ji cut off the white snake from the middle.

The White Snake falls to the ground.

Suddenly, a white light flashed, and an old woman appeared, saying, "My son is the son of the White Emperor, and you are the son of the Red Emperor." The son of the Red Emperor killed the son of the White Emperor. ”

Fan Xu on the side said: "Brother-in-law, I heard the fortune teller say that the Qin Dynasty is a water virtue and is blessed by the White Emperor." Now that you are the Red Emperor, isn't that Huode? According to the theory of yin and yang and the five elements, my brother-in-law is afraid that he will be the emperor. ”

"Where? I, Liu Ji, am just a small pavilion chief. They are all in their fifties this year, and many young people have become county guards and generals. Liu Ji said.

"Liu Ji, I, the White Emperor family, want you to taste blood." The old woman scolded.

Her voice shook the woods.

The old woman turned into a white strip and opened her bloody mouth to swallow Liu Ji in one gulp.

At this moment, Liu Ji turned into a red dragon and spewed flames, setting the Great White Snake on fire. The big white snake said in the flames: "Liu Ji, in this life, even if I turn into a ghost, I will not let you go." Even if you die, our White Emperor clan will seek revenge on the descendants of your Liu family. ”

The Great White Serpent did not stop its invective until it was burned to ashes by the flames.

"It seems that Brother Ji is destined to return." Zhou Bo said with a smile.

Then Zhou Bo, Guan Ying, Fan Xu, Xiahou Ying, Yongya, Lu Xuan, Ji Xin and other fellow villagers knelt down together and said: "We are willing to swear allegiance to Brother Ji." I hope that Brother Ji will lead us to exterminate the tyrannical Qin and create a hegemony. ”

Liu Ji smiled: "Okay." From now on, this sword will be a snake sword. I want to pass it on to my children and grandchildren. ”

Emperor Ping was still unsatisfied, as long as he spoke, however, Wang Mang broke in.

"Empress Dowager Wei is suspected of rebellion, and the minister needs to arrest you for the sake of the Han Dynasty's Jiangshan Society." Wang Mang took out the Empress Dowager's decree.

"Wang Mang! What kind of national law did the mourning family violate? Need so? Empress Dowager Wei shouted.

"Yes! The Queen Mother entered Beijing on my beheels! Emperor Ping argued.
