Liu Xiu naturally didn't know anything about Wang Mang's arrangements and plans, and he didn't know that he was the Purple Emperor Wei Mingjun that the Ji family and the Twenty-Eight Star Monarch were looking for, let alone that he would be the Guangwu Emperor who would be famous through the ages in the future, and at the same time, he didn't have much in his heart to become the emperor.

At present, he is chatting with some literati in the imperial capital in response to Wang Mang's order to seek talents, making friends with virtuous people, participating in the compilation of classics for governing the world, and waiting for Wang Mang's class to return to the dynasty to preside over the scientific examination, and then become an official.

His biggest goal now, or his greatest wish, is to show what he has learned in his chest, to display his talents as much as possible in the new dynasty opened up by Wang Mang, to pay homage to the prime minister, and then to marry his sweetheart Yin Lihua.

If it weren't for Yin Lihua, he might not have been able to trick his brother into raising troops at the beginning, and he wouldn't have had the heart to come to the imperial capital to participate in the scientific examination, let alone become an official.

Now it is precisely because of Yin Lihua that he has the motivation and belief to marry Yin Lihua with great glory and give Yin Lihua the most dazzling brilliance.

He is interested in Yin Lihua, and Yin Lihua's teacher is still unprecipitous. Under the manipulation of Wu Yazi, he is full of spirit and pride, and he trusts and loves Wu Yazi in every way.

For example, this time he sent troops to help the Ji family, but his original proposition was not to approve of this matter, and he did not plan to be an enemy of Wang Mang. But under Wuyazi's light words or two, he immediately changed his attitude and fully agreed with Wuyazi's proposal.

Fortunately, Wuyazi did not intend to trap him, but always led him on the right path of rejuvenating the Han Dynasty according to Wang Mang's deployment. And Wu Yazi is also more concerned about his treatment of Yin Lihua's emotional affairs, and has been matching this matter, often getting tokens from Yin Lihua to give him to ease his heart.

In Wuyazi's words, if Wang Mang didn't agree, Wuyazi really wanted Liu Xiu to marry Yin Lihua immediately and promote this beautiful event.

All the sages entered the imperial capital to participate in the compilation of the classics of the world, and this scene has begun to reveal the scene of the prosperous era. Because only when virtuous people are born to govern, the imperial court will develop and prosper rapidly.

As a descendant of the royal family, Liu Xiu is righteous and dignified, and he is eight buckets tall, so he is like a fish in water among the sages, and he is admired and befriended by many scholars, and he is beginning to show his grandeur.

The news of Liu Xiuxiao's reputation soon reached the ears of Wang Mang and Wang Jingyan Shangguan Ningxuan, and the three of them all smiled when they heard the news.

Although Wang Mang has never seen Liu Xiu, he has heard the storyteller say that he knows that Liu Xiu does have two brushes, and he is very talented and virtuous. Therefore, he took it for granted that Liu Xiu had just emerged among the sages, which was completely in line with his expectations.

In his plan, Liu Xiu's brother Liu Yan sent troops to the Ji family to help and connect with the Ji family. Then Liu Xiu showed his talent and morality in the imperial capital. In this way, the two brothers Liu Xiu can really enter the high-level eyes of the Ji family, so as to get the attention and support of the Ji family.

If Liu Xiu's talent is not displayed, the Ji family will naturally not be able to discover Liu Xiu, at least not in a short period of time, which is not in line with Wang Mang's plan.

Wang Mang only paid attention to Liu Xiu's affairs and did not pay attention to anything else. But Wang Jingyan and Shangguan Ningxuan are not.

These two women heard Wang Mang say that Liu Xiu was the one who defeated Wang Mang, and was praised by Wang Mang, and his personality charm can rank among the top three emperors in the past dynasties, known as Emperor Guangwu.

Therefore, after hearing Liu Xiu's name, the two girls had a strong curiosity in their hearts, so they left the palace in disguise, wanting to observe Liu Xiu up close, and wanting to see with their own eyes what kind of person Liu Xiu was and why he was praised by Wang Mang.

After a secret investigation by the two women, they all found that Liu Xiu was really very comparable, and he was indeed extraordinary, with first-class character, first-class appearance, and first-class talent, which can be called a perfect person.

"Oh, that's a pity. If this Liu Xiu were younger, it would be perfect if I married my daughter Yan'er to him. Wang Jingyan sighed secretly, thinking that Liu Xiu was a little older and not suitable to be Wang Yan's father-in-law.

Now she and Wang Mang's daughter Wang Yan are also thirteen or fourteen years old this year, and they are almost at the age of getting married, so Wang Jingyan has the heart to start this matter for Wang Yan.

Of course, in addition to these things, there is another major event in the imperial capital that annoys Wang Jingyan and Shangguan Ningxuan.

Although Wang Mang ascended the throne and became the emperor, he made it clear that he wanted Wei Ziyao to be the queen, but Wei Ziyao refused in front of Weiyang Palace, so the position of queen became vacant. Since then, Wang Mang has not revealed who he wants to make the queen again.

Wang Mang didn't show it, but the ministers didn't.

A kingdom cannot be without a king for a day, and no kingdom can be without a descendant for a long time.

At present, Wang Mang is marrying two women, one is Wang Jingyan and the other is Shi Xiuying, so these two women have naturally become fragrant in the eyes of many ministers.

In addition to dealing with the affairs of the dynasty every day, the ministers spent the most attention on the two daughters, and sent their own young ladies and wives to talk to the two daughters almost every day to win over the relationship.

There are even some ministers who vaguely said that they want to marry Wang Jingyan, hoping that their family's talents will marry Wang Yan, or that their daughters will marry Wang Shun.

Of course, they naturally didn't know that the real Wang Yan and Wang Shun had already been sent to seclusion in the outer world, and what they were currently staying in the imperial capital was just a replacement with a changed name.

The ministers' thoughts were to express their heartfelt feelings to the two daughters, and they wanted to assist one of the two daughters in ascending to the throne.

Of course, although most ministers have their own support among Wang Jingyan and Shi Xiuying, in the eyes of some other well-informed ministers, they naturally exclude Shi Xiuying and think that Shi Xiuying is impossible to be the queen. The real queen candidate is likely to be produced among Wang Jingyan and Shangguan Ningxuan.

Among these well-informed ministers, there are representatives of the Huo family, the Wei family and the Xue family, especially the Huo family, who all agree that if Wang Mang wants to establish a queen, then he will definitely establish Shangguan Ningxuan, and they all feel that Wang Mang's favorite woman is Shangguan Ningxuan.

As for Shi Xiuying, they all thought that it was just a peaceful policy that Wang Mang had made in order to stabilize the extraterritorial situation.

As for the relationship that Shangguan Ningxuan is Wang Mang's sister-in-law, these ministers didn't care about it, thinking that it was not a big deal. Because Wang Mang has even done the thing of changing the dynasty and becoming a rebellious minister, it is not a big deal to marry his sister-in-law and become a queen now.

"Sister, what do you say about this now? The family members of the ministers spoke almost every day. It's not good for us to refuse, and it's not good for us not to refuse. If this continues, I'm afraid I'm going to be driven crazy by them. Wang Jingyan sighed and frowned. Xianggong is really right, why didn't he give the queen a candidate before leaving? It's annoying now. ”

Shangguan Ningxuan said with a smile: "Jingyan, you don't know how many women in the world want to be queens, but you're good, you're still annoying, if this thing falls on Ji Xue, maybe she won't be able to sleep with excitement." I think you should talk to the prime minister and let him quickly give the minister a decree so that you can be the queen, so that there will be no worries. ”
