Since Wang Mang's return to the dynasty, the first great court meeting held by the Han Dynasty began a debate on whether Wang Mang was qualified to ascend the throne and claim the throne in the case of Song Pingzhi, the eunuch of Qintian, and Zhang Sheng, the minister of Jiuqing.

The two of them spoke fiercely, each expressing their own opinions, talking about the past and the present, but what they said was reasonable and well-founded.

Zhang Sheng was an old minister of the Han Dynasty and wanted to support the Han family wholeheartedly. Song Pingzhi, the Qintianjian of Qintian, took the operation of the days as his own responsibility and resolutely supported Wang Mang as the emperor.

Song Pingzhi's words were not bewitched by Wang Mang's faction, but came from his own heart, because the operation of the celestial phenomena and stars was indeed as he said, and it changed greatly. He very much hoped that Wang Mang would be able to become emperor as soon as possible and conform to the will of the people. As for the rest of the human visions, this was deliberately arranged by Wang Mang in order to build momentum.

Huo Jianghai was also ambitious, wanting to overthrow the dynasty and claim himself emperor. But he knew that in his current form, he would never have this opportunity.

At the same time, because his ancestor Huo Guang was killed by the royal family, and the Huo family was almost wiped out by the royal family, and the whole clan was extremely angry with the Liu clan of the Han royal family. In addition, he and Wang Mang secretly reached many deals, so he now saw Song Pingzhi's fierce words in support of Wang Mang at the court meeting, and he had a lot of plans in his heart.

He was very unhappy with Zhang Sheng, the minister of Jiuqing, denying Wang Mang's claim to be emperor and supporting the words of today's son to continue to control Kyushu.

At this moment, when he saw the fierce quarrel between Zhang Sheng and Song Pingzhi, he also stood up, and said in the same sharp voice: "What Lord Song said is completely reasonable, and there is nothing wrong with it. Lord Wang Mang's ascension to the throne and title of emperor is in line with the will of the people of Tianxin, and it is also in line with the Zen throne and virtuous system established by the three emperors and five emperors in ancient times. Therefore, I also suggest that Lord Wang Mang should quickly worship the heavens and claim the emperor, and improve the operation of the heavens.

Otherwise, the people of the world will inevitably suffer from war, and the rivers and mountains of Kyushu will suffer heavy losses from natural disasters. Besides, if Wang Mang hadn't led the army north to fight against the Xiongnu coalition army, our Han Dynasty would have been wiped out by the Xiongnu long ago. Wang Mang has so many world-famous feats, which is enough to show that he is qualified enough to be the emperor, which is in line with the will of heaven.

Lord Zhang Sheng, just now you said that the Great Han Dynasty was brought down by Liu Bang, the ancestor of the Han Dynasty, and we must all respect the Liu royal family and listen to the will of the imperial family forever. But have you ever wondered who controlled Kyushu in front of the Han Dynasty? It is the reign of the Great Qin Empire. According to what you just said, the king is the king, and the minister is the minister, so isn't Liu Bang, the ancestor of the Han Dynasty, equivalent to a disobedient minister? He betrayed the Great Qin Empire, so he created the Great Han Dynasty.

There were more dynasties in front of the Great Qin Empire, and they couldn't be counted, so it can be seen that the saying that the king is the king and the minister is the minister is completely unreasonable. We want to support Mingjun, and we should **** Shansheji is not a certain person's, nor is it a family's, but the whole world. Only when the world recognizes a certain person, then this person has the absolute qualification to sit on the infinite and be honored as the Son of Heaven.

If the people deny someone, then that person will never be able to continue to control Kyushu and the world. The current situation is obvious, His Majesty is not worthy of the position, and it is really not suitable to continue the Son of Heaven. And Lord Wang has the title of saint among the people, and he has the merit of shaking the world in the temple, which is enough to be called the emperor, and it is also in line with the changes in the heavens that Lord Song Pingzhi said about the Qin Heavenly Prison. ”

"You... You...."Zhang Sheng's face turned red, and he was speechless with anger.

"You actually dare to rebel, ignore the majesty of the Son of Heaven, trample on the rivers and mountains of the Han Dynasty, and evaluate the merits of the ancestors, this crime is unforgivable, and the nine clans should be exterminated."

"Hahaha, what a joke!" Song Pingzhi said coldly: "We are just talking about things, why do you say that we are a big rebel?" Could it be that we, as courtiers, should blindly welcome the Son of Heaven? ”

"That's a great thing!" Huo Jianghai said: "We are not the courtiers of His Majesty, nor the courtiers of the Han Dynasty, but the courtiers of the people of the world. We only speak for the people, only for the people, and hope that Lord Zhang Sheng will not misinterpret the meaning of the word courtier.

As for the criticism of Han Gaozu, as you said before, Han Gaozu Liu Bang is indeed a disobedient minister, if he was not disobedient, then how did he create the Han Dynasty? If it weren't for his disobedience, how would the Great Qin Empire collapse?

Besides, how many heroes and virtuous people he said the emperor had killed, can we all turn a blind eye to these mistakes? If this is the case, then what are we talking about loyalty, filial piety, benevolence and righteousness? Right is right, wrong is wrong, and we must not distinguish between right and wrong because of certain reasons. Han Gaozu had merits, but he also had them, which cannot be ignored. ”

"Ridiculous, simply ridiculous!" Some other courtiers were very dissatisfied with Huo Jianghai and Song Pingzhi's aggressive momentum, and they also stood up and denied Wang Mang's claim to be emperor.

Some of these people are for their own consideration and don't want to see Wang Mang claim the emperor, and some people are for the sake of the Han Dynasty and don't want the luck of the Han Dynasty to be cut off.

Of course, no matter what their purpose is, in any case, they stand up and speak up and express their views and opinions.

As soon as these people who opposed Wang Mang's claim to be emperor stood up, immediately those who supported Wang Mang's claim to be emperor also stood up and debated, and the quarrel was very fierce.

Suddenly, this great court meeting evolved into whether Wang Mang should be called the emperor, and whether the Son of Heaven should abdicate and make way for Xian.

Emperor Liu Jian of the Han Ping Dynasty sat on the dragon chair and watched the ministers quarrel expressionlessly, and secretly thought in his heart: "This position of mine was given by Lord Wang Mang back then, and now Lord Wang Mang has the heart to take it back, which is nothing to say." Besides, if it weren't for Wang Mang's secret protection, how could the first emperor live freely in Gansu? ”

Wang Mang is the person concerned, and he is not easy to speak about the quarrels of the ministers, so he does not open his mouth like the Son of Heaven.

The ministers debated for a long time, but there was still no conclusion. At this time, Wei Gonghan said to Emperor Liu Jian of Hanping: "Your Majesty, you are the Son of Heaven, and now the ministers are arguing endlessly because of Your Majesty's affairs, I don't know if Your Majesty has a suitable statement?" ”

Emperor Liu Yin of the Han Ping Dynasty nodded and said, "Ministers, don't be impatient. Since I ascended the throne, I have indeed not done any credit, nor have I done anything beneficial to the people, but have caused chaos in the world and lost the hearts of the people.

Now that the celestial phenomena have changed, it is a warning that it is not appropriate for me to continue to control Kyushu, this is the will of heaven, it is the heavens punishing me, and it is the Gaozu Hanwu who is judging my mistakes. Wang Mang ruled the world hard, had good conduct, and was no different from the ancient saints, which was recognized by the world.

In ancient times, there has always been a system of Zen concessions, so I also think that I am not suitable to continue to honor the Son of Heaven, otherwise how can I serve the public? I intend to abdicate Wang Mang immediately, so that the world will be peaceful, and the ministers must no longer have doubts. ”

"Your Majesty...."Those who didn't want Wang Mang to be the emperor immediately cried when they heard this, and then looked at Wang Mang angrily one by one, "Lord Wang, you should say something." Do you really want to be that rebel through the ages? ”

"Rebel?" Wang Mang snorted secretly and said lightly: "This matter is the result of the discussion of the ministers, how can I rush to get involved?" Of course, since you want me to take a stand, then I can't continue to be silent. I personally do not have this desire to honor the Son of Heaven, I just want to continue to serve the people. ”
