"Now Wang Mang is already the emperor. His ambition to usurp the territory of our Han Dynasty is already known to passers-by! Now is the perfect time to contact the princes and kings everywhere! Liu Ziyu couldn't help but talk eloquently.

"It's not time yet! Liu Ziyu! You just want to be the emperor so much! King Zhao said with a smile.

"Your Highness, when will it be? Do you have to wait until Wang Mang usurps our Han Dynasty and ascends the throne as emperor? At that time, Wang Mang can mobilize soldiers and horses from all over the country to encircle and suppress us! Liu Ziyu began to panic.

"So what? Once Wang Mang usurps the Han Dynasty, everyone in the world will recognize his true colors! In that case, his power will naturally collapse! ”

Liu Ziyu was amused by King Zhao's ridiculous theory, and he thought: Is King Zhao a stupid hat? How do you think so! The people don't care who is the emperor at all, whether it is the Liu family or the Wang family, it is the same for the people!

"His Royal Highness King Zhao, you are really too naïve! The people are selfish! In their hearts, they never cared whether the Liu family or the Han family sat on this country. All they have in their hearts is to have enough to eat. Their highest requirements are: one cow on thirty acres of land, and hot kang heads for wives and children! ”

Liu Ziyu exposed the hearts of the people.

King Zhao refuted: "No! The people love the Han Dynasty! Otherwise, how could someone in front of the Taimiao come forward and assassinate Wang Mang? This is the cry of the people! ”

"His Royal Highness King Zhao, you still don't want to deceive yourself! The person who assassinated Wang Mang was my benefactor Liu Qin. He is a member of the Han family. Wang Mang's new policy promulgated in recent years is to divide the land of the Han clan to the people! The people have long been looking forward to Wang Mang's accession to the throne as soon as possible! The miracles of prophecy everywhere are proof of this. ”

Liu Ziyu explained.

He thought to himself: Your Highness! How can a brain like yours compete with Wang Mang? If this continues, we will all become ghosts under Wang Mang's knife! What can I do? You can't just sit back and wait!

"Actually, what you said is not completely unreasonable. It's just that the widow thinks that Wang Mang doesn't have such a high prestige! He's just an ordinary relative! Without Dahan, he is nothing! The widow will not believe it! He can still survive without a big man! ”

King Zhao is still so confident.

"His Royal Highness King Zhao, do you have to wait until our Han family is completely destroyed by Wang Mang before you can wake up?" Liu Ziyu pointed at King Zhao's nose and scolded.

King Zhao thought to himself: Is Liu Ziyu really too presumptuous? Isn't it just because he is Emperor Cheng's biological son? Your identity has not been recognized by the Han family! What madness? What are you dragging?

King Zhao's face showed a look of disdain.

"Liu Ziyu, don't think that if you are the son of Emperor Cheng, you will become unpopular! To tell you the truth, the Queen Mother and Her Royal Highness the Queen Mother mentioned you to the widow a few days ago! They always felt that the children were the legitimate heirs of the Han family. You're reinstated. You're just a prince! There is no inheritance! What kind of cow are you still bullish? ”

King Zhao began to sneer.

He thought to himself: For Liu Ziyu, a guy who doesn't know the height of the sky, the widow just needs to give him some color. In this way, he knew how many pounds and taels he was! I won't be arrogant anymore! Ha ha......

"Impossible! The Empress Dowager won't abandon me! She just made it an expedient measure for me to be in the people! The Empress Dowager will let me ascend the throne! Please, His Royal Highness King Zhao, can you help me? ”

Liu Ziyu hurriedly knelt down and kept kowtowing to King Zhao.

"You're going to die of this heart! The widow supports the child, and he will not support you! A madman like you, if you make yourself an emperor, I'm afraid you will be even stronger and arrogant than Wang Mang. How dare a widow assist you with a person like you? ”

A sly smile appeared on King Zhao's face.

"His Royal Highness King Zhao, no. If I become an emperor in the future, I will be humble and open up my opinions. Be the master of the Han Empire! ”

Liu Ziyu began to become respectful. He thought to himself: King Zhao! On the day I ascend the throne and become emperor, the first person I will kill will be you! Otherwise, it will be difficult to eliminate the hatred in my heart!

Just when King Zhao was still arguing with Liu Ziyu in Handan, Liu Xiu from Nanyang woke up from his sleep.

His whole body was covered in sweat, and he was already wet with bedding, as if he was a person fished out of the water.

"Daddy, are you really going?"

Liu Xiu found that there was a suicide note on his right hand.

He looked at the suicide note written by Xiao Seal and thought: It seems that Daddy did die in Wang Mang's hands. Wang Mang was afraid of the brotherhood with his father, and did not expose his father's assassination of him. So he declared that his father was brave and righteous in order to protect him!

The next day, Liu Xiu told her mother and siblings at home what had happened.

"This is Daddy's suicide note!" Liu Xiu took the suicide note to her mother Fan Xian to read.

Mother Fan Xian looked at it and whispered, "Oops." How are we going to live in the future? ”

"Mother, I can farm and make money for my third brother, Uncle Wen, to go to school!"

The eldest son, Liu Yan, volunteered.

"Mother, I can too! I'm not reading material anyway. The third brother, Uncle Wen, is talented, and it would be a pity to drop out of school now! ”

The second son, Liu Zhong, said with a smile.

"No, mother. I don't go to school anymore. I'm going to farm with my brothers! Liu Xiu said with a smile.

"How? Uncle Wen! You have to study hard, and you will come to Taixue to serve the country! ”

Fan Xian said with a smile.

"Mother, the Han Empire is about to fall! Do you want me to work for a traitor like Wang Mang? Let me be Wang Mang's eagle dog? I really can't do it! ”

Liu Xiu refused.

He thought to himself: Wang Mang! Wang Mang! If I go to Taixue in the future, won't I be serving you? As a member of the Han family, I live in the era when you are in power, and I really can't get used to the days of relying on others!

"Uncle Wen! Can't say that! If the dynasty changes, won't the people live? The Xia Dynasty was destroyed by Shang Tang, didn't the people serve Shang Tang the same? The Shang Dynasty was destroyed by King Wu of Zhou, and didn't the people serve King Wu the same? You have to have a normal heart! Besides, even if Wang Mang usurped the throne, if he is a generation of virtuous monarchs, then he is also a figure like King Wu of Zhou! I hope you don't give up on yourself! You still have to live in the moment! Otherwise, you'll break the jar! Opportunities are always given to those who are prepared! ”

Fan Xian said with a smile.

She thought to herself: I hope Uncle Wen can understand my kindness!
