Chapter 587: The fierce battle in Luoyang City
"General Wang. Wang Kuang had already led 100,000 men to attack Luoyang. We've got to beat them! The lieutenant cried.
"We only have 20,000 people!" General Wang Sheng cried.
"General Wang, if we can't resist Wang Kuang's tiger and wolf army, I'm afraid our new dynasty will be destroyed." The adjutant general's tears flowed down his eyes.
"I also don't want to lead troops into battle. I was originally a bread seller. General Wang Sheng cried.
At this time, Wang Kuang, the leader of the Han army, had already mobilized a large army to surround Luoyang City.
"Luoyang has been besieged by us on all sides. Let Wang Sheng surrender quickly, otherwise he will send troops to attack the city. Wang Kuang roared.
Wang Sheng received Wang Kuang's handwritten letter and said to himself: "I can only become a general if I get the appreciation of Your Majesty." I can't betray Your Majesty. Let you die. I hope he will let the people of Luoyang City go. ”
Subsequently, Wang Sheng took out a bottle of poison.
The subordinate shouted, "General." Why do you do this? It doesn't make any sense at all! You will surrender to the Green Forest. You can live, too. If you don't want to continue to be an official, you will continue to sell bread. Wang Kuang will not object. ”
"No, I can't. I am Your Majesty's courtier. How can you betray Your Majesty? Wang Sheng cried.
Wang Sheng remembered the scene when he saw Wang Mang for the first time:
The real Wang Mang is selling scallion pancakes on the streets of Handan with Wang Sheng!
The streets of Handan are bustling, with vendors staggering and shouting.
Wang Mang was already sweating profusely, and he wiped the sweat with a soaked towel. He said to Wang Sheng on the side: "Brother! We don't think we have much business today! There are all kinds of snacks in this Handan City! Those who sell mutton skewers, those who sell dragon beard noodles, those who sell meat buns, and those who sell fried fish. ”
"Wang Xin! Don't be discouraged! Our scallion pancakes are definitely the most delicious snack in Handan City! I can confidently say: I am the first in Handan to make snacks! King Zhao loves to invite me to the palace to make cakes! ”
Wang Sheng's words suddenly shocked Wang Mang like a bomb.
He thought to himself: What to do? If you go to the palace of King Zhao with Wang Sheng, you will make cakes. If it is recognized by King Zhao, it will be bad. What to do? I'm going to get some black dirt and smear it.
Thinking of this, Wang Mang grabbed a handful of black mud and painted his cheeks black.
Wang Sheng was surprised and asked, "Wang Xin! What kind of nerves do you have? ”
"No, I think applying it like this can protect you from the sun!"
Wang Mang's reason suddenly made Wang Sheng feel crying and laughing.
Besides, on Liu Yang's side, he couldn't resist Liu Yao, and finally agreed to let her come to King Zhao's palace for an autopsy.
Liu Yao walked into King Zhao's palace and saw "Wang Mang" lying in the Nanmu coffin, looking peaceful, like a handsome guy who was asleep.
Suddenly, she hugged her head and cried.
The sound of crying resounded throughout the mourning hall. The bells hanging in front of the mourning hall were all hit by her crying and made a "jingle bell" sound!
Liu Yang walked in slowly and whispered, "Sister, you should believe it now, right?" Wang Mang is indeed dead! King Zhao and I both think that we are jealous of talents! But people can't be resurrected after death, so you should mourn and change! ”
Liu Yao cried, wiped her tears with a handkerchief, and said, "I was born as Wang Mang's person, and died as Wang Mang's ghost!" Brother, I will keep a feast for my husband, the king. Loyal ministers don't care about the two masters, and martyrs don't marry two husbands! ”
Saying that, Liu Yao suddenly cried and grabbed the ground, and Liu Yang couldn't bear it anymore.
He thought to himself: What to do? How can I get my sister to marry Guo Chang? Otherwise, if I can't fulfill my promise to Guo Chang, where will my old face go?
At this moment, Liu Yao's heart was already painful. She felt her guts being torn apart by the sad truth. She thought to herself: Why did my husband leave me? How nice it would be if he could live!
She shouted, "Husband, come back to life quickly! Hurry up and come back to life! ”
Her tears dripped on the nose of "Wang Mang". But "Wang Mang" still didn't react.
However, Wang Mang, who lived in Wang Sheng's house, woke up from his sleep.
Wang Mang's sweat soaked the entire futon. He thought to himself: Could it be that Liu Yao thought I was dead and was crying loudly?
Wang Sheng, who was sleeping on the side, asked curiously, "Wang Xin." What's wrong with you? Why so sorrowful? Is it a nightmare? ”
"I think of my wife!"
Wang Sheng was shocked and thought: It turns out that Wang Xingongzi has a wife! What to do? You can't let your sister marry him as a concubine, right?
The next day, Liu Yang found Guo Chang.
Guo Chang saw that Liu Yao's eyes were already swollen from crying, and the whole person was depressed, and he felt distressed. He comforted her: "Baby, don't do this! Everything will be fine! Although Wang Mang passed away. But I'm willing to guard you for the rest of my life! ”
Liu Yao raised his head and sneered: "If I say that I will worship Wang Mang's portrait at home for the rest of my life, are you willing to marry me?" ”
"Yes!"
Guo Chang's categorical answer immediately stunned Liu Yang on the side.
Liu Yang hurriedly persuaded him: "Sister! You're going too far! Guo Chang kindly married you a widow, why did you still kick your nose in the face? ”
"Okay, Guo Chang. I am willing to marry you. However, you have to remember. You're just a substitute for Wang Mang! ”
Guo Chang looked at Liu Yao's determined appearance and thought: It seems that Liu Yao will not be able to erase Wang Mang in his life! It's okay! I just want Liu Yao to marry me. As for whether she has me in her heart or not, I don't care!
However, Guo Chang's father, Guo Yuanwai, heard that his son was going to marry a widow and enter the door, and he was immediately furious.
He picked up his cane and shouted, "Guo Chang, are you in the water in your brain?" It's a shame to marry a widow and come home! And how unlucky! ”
"That's it! Father, the child has already made up his mind to marry Liu Yao! Besides, he is the younger sister of Zhendinghou. Marrying him is also good for our family's silk business. King Zhao has promised to give all the silk business of King Zhao's palace to our Guo family! ”
Guo Yuanwai thought about it: It's also such a reason! It is true that the silk business of Zhao Guo can be obtained. But the son married the widow of the new marquis for the first time, and the reputation was too bad to spread!
Guo Yuanwai then said: "Son! You work with the Zhao royal family. Daddy doesn't interfere. But you marry the widow of Wang Mang, the marquis of the new capital. That would anger Your Majesty! His Majesty and the Marquis of the New Capital are relatives. If you marry the widow of the new capital, if Your Majesty knows about it, he will definitely punish you! Our Guo family is a disaster that will destroy the door! ”
Guo Chang didn't think about it and smiled. He looked calm and said, "Daddy, you're wrong. His Majesty will not care about this detail. His Majesty is a deaf lord. How could such a thing be bothered? You have to believe that there will be nothing wrong with our Guo family! ”
So, not long after, Liu Yao married Guo Chang.
On the day of the wedding, Liu Yao was wearing a red bridal dress, like a fairy descending to earth.
Guo Chang saw it, smiled, and said, "The lady is really beautiful!" ”
After the cave room, Guo Chang suddenly realized that something was wrong, and he whispered: "It's not right! Don't you and Wang Mang have ......?"
Liu Yao nodded shyly.
Only then did Guo Chang understand that Wang Mang and Liu Yao had always been only a nominal husband and wife.
Liu Yao said to Guo Chang: "Actually, Wang Mang only had children with Wang Jingyan, the wife of the main family, and that's the reason!" ”
