Chapter 35: The Three Women of the Wang Family Play

As mentioned last time, Emperor Cheng agreed with Wang Jingyan to go to the Xiongnu to persuade Da Danyu to release Wang Mang. As soon as Wang Jingyan walked on the front foot, someone came on the back foot.

Emperor Cheng looked at the person, slim, wearing heavy makeup, and wearing a red dress. He looked at the beautiful woman in front of him, feeling a little familiar, but a few years older than his old friend.

"Your Majesty. Liu Yao, a folk woman, begged you to allow me to go to the Xiongnu to rescue my husband. Liu Yao said with tears in her eyes. As she spoke, her eyes were already moist.

"Do the women of your Wang family like to go to the Xiongnu so much? Wang Jingyan just came. I really admire Wang Mang. He's so charismatic. Let the women of your royal family go to the soup for him, and he will not hesitate. Emperor Cheng reacted at this time, and it turned out that the person in front of him was his cousin Liu Yao. He dragged his chin and looked envious, jealous, hateful.

"Lord Xindu Hou has always been self-denying and repentant, and he is a righteous gentleman. Your Majesty has never been able to do it. "Liu Yao deliberately became an emperor.

"Really? Where am I inferior to Wang Mang? I am rich in the four seas, Weijia in the sea, and the four Yi are in service. There is a Daoming monarch like me, since the Three Emperors and Five Emperors, have there ever been? Emperor Cheng boasted.

"Your Majesty has read it, have you read too much of "Huainanzi"?" Liu Yao asked.

"How?" Emperor Cheng asked.

"Then why is it blind?" Liu Yao scoffed.

"Bold Liu Yao. You dare to be sarcastic. It's not that I don't want to live anymore. Do you really think that if you marry Wang Mang, I won't dare to kill you? Emperor Cheng said angrily.

"I don't think so. It's just that Your Majesty can't see the scene of mourning all over the wilderness, and you can't see the tragedy of Yi Zi eating and eating. His Majesty was in the harem all day long, and all he saw was the bright lights and wine, and all he heard was the sound of glamour. Liu Yao stared at each other and tried his best to insult Emperor Cheng.

"Okay. I've been taught. You go to the Xiongnu and call Wang Mang back, right? He can help me. Emperor Cheng said weakly. The bags under his eyes were getting heavier and heavier, and the dark circles under his eyes were getting deeper.

Liu Yao said to Emperor Cheng: "Your Majesty, the people's wife." ”

"Alright, you can go. I don't want to see you again. Emperor Cheng was also quick to speak, and said impatiently.

In fact, Liu Yao's relationship with Wang Mang was already very weak at this time, and she didn't know why she wanted to save Wang Mang.

At the same time, Liu Yang, the Marquis of Zhending, who was far away in Zhao State, and Guo Chang also had a secret meeting in the Zhao State Post House.

Guo Chang said to Liu Yang: "His Royal Highness the Marquis of Zhending." Your Zhao royal family's ability to move is still not good. After spending so much money in the Xiongnu, he still couldn't kill Wang Mang. It was such a disappointment to me. ”

"yes. So, can you kill Wang Mang? Brother Guo Chang. Liu Yang said with a smile.

"Nonsense, if I can really get rid of Wang Mang, do I still need to look for you?" Guo Chang said with a smile.

"That's it. You can't kill Wang Mang yourself, and you blame us for being incompetent. Is Wang Mang so easy to kill? His reputation is too good. I've hired heroes many times, but I've failed. Why? They always deliberately released water to let Wang Mang escape. Liu Yang said helplessly.

"Okay. It seems that Wang Mang is really a contemporary Confucius and Duke of Zhou, and no one wants to kill him at all. Are you justifying yourself like this? Guo Chang suddenly became angry. His face was already flushed, and his green muscles were already bursting up, and he couldn't wait to eat Liu Yang, the awesome king, alive.

"Guo Chang, don't be angry. Impulsiveness is the devil. We still need to think about it in the long run. Although Wang Mang was an honest official, he also offended many powerful people in the court. For example, the Empress Dowager Fu and the Empress Dowager Feng are people from the family of their relatives. As long as we join forces, we will definitely be able to kill Wang Mang. Liu Yang gushed.

His words made Guo Chang even more angry, and said: "You will say big things, go and unite them, how to unite?" Do you have a real plan? Could it be that we can talk about the world here and talk about Wang Mang to death? ”

"You can't say he's dead. But we were able to get some clues. It's better than nothing. Liu Yang said calmly.

"I figured out a way. I heard that the Buyeo Kingdom and the Xiongnu have already fought a lot of battles. Many princes of Buyeo were captured as slaves by the Xiongnu and distributed among the Xiongnu nobles. Wang Mang is now the second king of the Great Xiongnu. We can find out the news of Buyeo from it. Guo Chang said with a smile.

"Guo Chang. Do you want to buy off the people of the Fuyu Kingdom to attack the Xiongnu and kill Wang Mang? Liu Yang said with a smile.

"Not really. I heard that the princess of Buyeo is young and beautiful. It is the pearl of the palm of the king of Buyeo. The king of Fuyu was defeated, and he already planned to let her marry the Xiongnu Shan Yu and relatives, if we find someone to pretend to be Wang Mang, and then snatch her and send her to Wang Mang's big tent. In this way, Wang Mang must be speechless. Xiongnu Da Shan Yu will also kill him. Guo Chang said with a smile.

"That's a brilliant plan. Guo Chang. However, who to pretend to be Wang Mang? Liu Yang said in confusion.

"So be it. We can go to the Huo family, the first family on the rivers and lakes, according to Wang Mang's portrait and physical characteristics, and find a hero who looks eight or nine points similar to Wang Mang. Guo Chang said.

"But the world is so big, where can I find such a person?" Liu Yang was embarrassed.

At the same time, Wang Mang was teaching his subordinate Gao Zhumeng to practice swordsmanship at this time.

"Jumeng, sword training pays attention to the unity of mind and spirit. Only when the heart is reached, will there be exquisite swordsmanship. Wang Mang said with a smile.

"I have read "Xunzi" in Buyeo Kingdom, and Xunzi pays attention to the realm of the unity of heaven and man. This highest level of swordsmanship seems to be the unity of man and sword. Gao Zhumeng said with a smile.

Jumong was right. And as a prince of Buyeo, it is rare for him to have such extraordinary insight.

Wang Mang smiled and said: "Gao Zhumeng, it's really a teachable son." I, Wang Jujun, will accept you as an apprentice for the rest of my life, and I will die without regrets. ”

"Don't say that. Since the second king. I am also fortunate to be a disciple of the second king. Gao Zhumeng complimented.

At this time, Ah Le, the Xiongnu Da Danyu's fine work, was eavesdropping outside the tent, and he thought: Wang Mang taught Prince Fuyu swordsmanship, which is really ill-intentioned. Could it be that his wolf ambition has begun to covet the position of Da Dan Yu? That's a bad thing.

At this moment, Wang Mang's wife Ye Lian walked towards the big tent where Wang Mang was. Finely made Ah Le stood up again, disguised as an ordinary guard of the Huns.

I saw Ye Lian walk into the big tent and say to Wang Mang: "Husband, I'm tired of practicing swordsmanship." Take a sip of goat's milk. ”

"Thank you, ma'am." Wang Mang said with a smile.

In fact, Wang Mang had received the latest letter from Emperor Cheng not long ago, saying that the two ladies would come to the Xiongnu. But he didn't know how to talk to Ye Lian, so he chose to be silent.

Besides, Guo Chang's side, he secretly infiltrated the Buyeo Kingdom.

Guo Chang, as we mentioned earlier, is the richest man in Zhao State.

Guo Da merchants often traded overseas, and his silk was exported to Anxi, Rome and other places. The nobility of Buyeo also used his silk.

Before, the news that Buyeo and the Xiongnu were always at war was leaked to him by the nobles of Buyeo. However, can Guo Chang really find out the specific time when the princess of Buyeo Kingdom will get married? Will Wang Mang be framed?
