Chapter 235: Emperor Ping was jealous of Wang Mang's prestige
58On the day of reading, Loulan, the overlord of the Western Regions, sent envoys to Chang'an.
&am;&am;I saw the envoy of Loulan wearing gold and silver, silk and a round sticky hat.
&am;&am;His face was full of red light, and after seeing Wang Mang, he held a box with exquisite workmanship, and said with a smile: "Lord Zai Heng, this is the beautiful jade that our king has offered!" Our King Loulan has always admired Lord Wang! This big man can do without His Majesty the Emperor, but he can't do without Lord Zaiheng! ”
&am;&am;Wang Mang was a little suspicious, and thought: Your Majesty has already complained about the lonely reception of foreign envoys, although the countries of the Western Regions are their own family. But if this is always the case, Your Majesty will probably be furious! What to do? How can His Majesty's doubts be allayed?
&am;&am;Wang Mang was also anxious at this time, and beads of sweat the size of beans were dripping from his forehead. His whole body was involuntarily **.
&am;&am;The Loulan envoy smiled, "I have heard about Lord Wang for a long time. Self-denial and revenge, with the feelings of Confucius, is the great Confucian! Our king has always admired the Han culture, and has always thought that the king is the reincarnation of a saint! ”
&am;&am; "No, Lone just did what he had to do!" If a courtier can't solve problems for his monarch, then he is not worthy of being an official! ”
&am;&am; "Your Excellency is humble! As an official, it is really commendable to be able to serve the country and the people like Lord Wang! Lord Wang doesn't have to be too humble! Lord Wang has long been famous, and even the Xiongnu Shan Yu admires you, Lord Wang! ”
&am;&am; "No. I have always believed that if this world is to be governed, it is necessary to educate the people with pure Confucian ideas and restrain the people with severe punishments. In this way, the people can be happy and the country can be rich and strong! ”
&am;&am;Wang Mang's resounding remarks made the Loulan envoy sigh and praise.
&am;&am;The envoy of Loulan thought to himself: Wang Mang is the monarch of the Han Dynasty, otherwise, where can we still live in Loulan?
&am;&am;However, perhaps Wang Mang is too sharp. The matter soon reached Emperor Ping.
&am;&am;When Emperor Ping heard that the envoy of Loulan actually said that Wang Mang was the master of the Han Dynasty, he slapped the table again and roared angrily: "The envoy of the Xiongnu did not know me before, and later the envoy of Goguryeo. Now even Loulan Kingdom, such a small country as a small country, insults me so much. I can't bear it anymore! ”
&am;&am;The eunuch Xiao Liu Zi said, "Your Majesty! Don't be angry! No matter how powerful Wang Mang is, he is just a courtier of our Han! Without our big man, he is nothing! The Loulan envoy said polite words! ”
&am;&am;"I've endured it and put up with it. But Wang Mang is too blind! He only has himself in his eyes! And there is no me! He is a chaotic minister and thief, a powerful minister who is even more treacherous than Huo Guang! ”
&am;&am; "Your Majesty! You say that, but you're going to be in trouble! The Empress Dowager has long been ambushed by your side, and if you are like this now, it is equivalent to telling Wang Mang your dissatisfaction! Wang Mang is a person who can kill even his own son! Your Majesty, don't you think about yourself? ”
&am;&am; Xiao Liuzi's expression was a little frightened. He thought to himself: Wang Mang! Although you are treacherous and authoritarian, you have no intention of usurping the throne! However, if Your Majesty is always so hysterical, this is forcing Wang Mang to rebel!
&am;&am;"Did I just watch Wang Mang, the big villain, climb on my head?" I am not a faint monarch like Qin II, then Wang Mang is a traitor like Zhao Gao! ”
&am;&am; "Your Majesty should be a child!" He killed Zhao Gao! ”
&am;&am; "Are you sarcastic?" Ziying is the king of the dead country! Sima Qian has a lot of criticism about him in "Historical Records"! Why, you want me to be the king of the fallen country. Say! What a heart you have! ”
&am;&am;Emperor Ping thundered again, stood up from his throne, and roared.
&am;&am;Little Liu Zi thought to himself: Your Majesty is simply a psychopath! Why is it so easy to get angry? If this is always the case, Your Majesty may not live long! He already had a heart attack!
&am;&am; "Your Majesty, rest your anger! The minister means that he wants His Majesty to keep his head in obscurity! Don't be in a hurry! Wang Mang is not dead and waiting for idle people! Besides, he is more than thirty years older than you, Your Majesty! When he dies, you'll be free! ”
&am;&am;"If Wang Mang lived to be a hundred years old. Am I going to be a puppet for another sixty years? I can't wait! I am the Son of Heaven, why can he be so authoritarian. I've been laughed at by the people for a long time! The people say that I am a tablet! ”
&am;&am;Emperor Ping's expression was extremely entangled, and he thought to himself: I must not be ridiculed by the people. I am the Son of Heaven of the Han Dynasty, and I am the King of Ten Thousand Vehicles!
&am;&am;Little Liu Zi became frightened, he thought to himself: This big man's son of heaven is more mediocre than the other! Your Majesty is simply a madman! If this continues, our Han will really be replaced by Wang Mang! If this continues, the foundation of the Han Dynasty will be ruined! Your Majesty! Your Majesty! When will you be sensible! Things in this world are not what you think. It's so easy! Your Majesty is still young and vigorous! Newborn calves are not afraid of tigers!
&am;&am;Meanwhile, Liu Xin was browsing the antique market.
&am;&am;The streets are full of people, and wealthy businessmen and dignitaries from all over the world are looking for treasures in the market!
&am;&am;"This lord, this is an authentic Shang Dynasty bronze! Golden! But the treasure of the Shang King Wuding! An antique dealer laughed.
&am;&am;Liu Xin picked up the bronze, touched it, and said with a smile: "This is fake, right?" This year is the largest twenty years, and the Shang Dynasty is at least a thousand years ago! You're a fake! ”
&am;&am; "No! I bought it for ten gold cakes! You're not going to be blind, are you? ”
&am;&am; "Then I think you've been deceived!" The bronze on this one was added by someone with the craftsmanship of our Han Dynasty! It's all iron! Unbelief.. Look at it. ”
&am;&am;Liu Xin rubbed it with a cloth, and the bronze on the surface faded, and the inside was all iron.
&am;&am; "How so? I was deceived! How so? The merchant scolded, "That merchant actually lied to me." I'll look for him! ”
&am;&am;The little guy next to him smiled into Liu Xin's ear and said, "My lord, you know that he is a liar, why don't you expose him?" ”
&am;&am; "Liars are people, too! I need to eat a mouthful! ”
&am;&am;Later, Liu Xin saw a painting in the cultural relics market.
&am;&am; He stopped, stopped and looked at it for a moment, only to see a white snake wrapped around the sun.
&am;&am; "Boss, what kind of painting is this?" Look at this style should be from the Zhou Dynasty! ”
&am;&am; "Yes! My lord, this is the Zhou Dynasty period, a painting! It tells the story of a tribe that believes in snakes rebelling against the Great Zhou. However, you can buy it back as a souvenir. There are not many paintings of the Zhou Dynasty now! ”
&am;&am;Liu Xin looked at it and immediately became overjoyed. So, what did he think?
&am;&am;What did Liu Xin see in the ancient paintings of the Zhou Dynasty?
