"Your Majesty, Jumong of Goguryeo has once again sent envoys to Beijing, hoping that our new dynasty can reconcile with them." Da Sima Yan Youzuo reported.

"That's good! That's what I mean! Wang Mang said with a smile.

The Goguryeo envoy walked into Chang'an City, and what greeted him was a scene of depression.

He remembered the last time he came to Chang'an City with Goguryeo King Gao Jumeng:

Wang Mang is also discussing diplomatic matters with Liu Xin.

Liu Xin smiled and said, "Lord Zai Heng! Isn't your diplomatic line too harsh? It's even a bit radical! Since ancient times, our Han has paid attention to 'convincing people with virtue'! Your new deal is a bit extreme! Especially Goguryeo, you actually want to depose the title of Gojumong and make him a county magistrate. Goguryeo is not an idle person! Although, I know, Gojumon was once your slave! ”

"Gao Jumeng has no skills! His martial arts were all taught to him alone. "The Art of War" was also given to him by me! ”

"It's not that I don't believe in the combat effectiveness of our Han army, it's just that Liaodong is bitterly cold, once the army is lone and deep, in case the Huns sneak attack Chang'an, the consequences will be unimaginable!"

"Liu Xin, you are really dizzy when you and your father compiled the "Classic of Mountains and Seas"! If we are all so afraid of the cold, how can our Han army go on an expedition? Back then, Emperor Xiaowu launched the Battle of Mobei, and he was also alone! Goguryeo is still a great threat to our Han! Don't underestimate it! ”

Liu Xin pointed at the sand table with a stick and said with a smile: "This thing is really bad!" Look here, it's the Bohai Sea! Once Goguryeo dispatches a naval army to block the sea, we will be finished! ”

"We can let Wuhuan and Xianbei be the vanguard!"

"Wang Mang! They're not fools either. They don't have much loyalty to the big han. So, even if it's an offense, it's soy sauce. I guess it would be nice for them to have a symbolic attack at most! ”

Wang Mang saw Liu Xin pouring cold water like this, and thought: Why is this Liu Xin so greedy for life and afraid of death? Isn't it just war? Lonely is still afraid of Gao Zhumeng?

Liu Xin thought: Wang Mang is still too taken for granted! Goguryeo is not a weak chicken! The quality of their army is still very high! Gao Zhumeng was able to unify Liaodong in just a few years, and this strength was at least not inferior to Mao Dun Dan.

While they were still discussing, the Goguryeo envoy entered Beijing.

The envoys who entered Beijing this time were Gao Zhumeng and Zhao Xinu.

They disguised themselves as Goguryeo envoys and came to Chang'an City.

As soon as they walked into the streets and alleys of Chang'an City, they saw vendors coming and going.

Zhao Xinu looked at the street sellers of vegetables, porcelain, and toys...... She thought to herself: This place is really much more prosperous than Marudu (the capital of Goguryeo)! There are small traders everywhere! If only we could have Goguryeo so prosperous!

Gao Zhumeng looked at it and thought: The prosperity of the Han Dynasty is really coveted by the lonely king! The lone king must conquer the Han Dynasty and establish immortal feats!

When Emperor Ping heard that the Goguryeo envoy had entered Beijing, he hurriedly asked Kong Guang: "Have you arranged a post house for them to rest?" ”

"It's arranged! Your Majesty! Kong Guang said with a smile.

"Goguryeo is the overlord of Liaodong, and he can balance Xianbei and Wuhuan. If we offend Goguryeo, the defense of our northeastern border of the Han Dynasty will be tight! ”

Kong Guang saw that Emperor Ping's analysis was penetrating, and thought: What a teachable son! Your Majesty still has the demeanor of a virtuous monarch! It's just a little younger!

However, what Emperor Ping said afterwards disappointed Kong Guang.

Emperor Ping said, "We can kill the Goguryeo envoy!" Then, dialysis Goguryeo! In this case, the land of Liaodong in Goguryeo will be ours! ”

Kong Guang was so frightened that he thought to himself: It seems that Your Majesty still has the potential to be a faint king! How so?

"Your Majesty, we are killing ourselves like this! Goguryeo is not so easy to defeat! Their combat effectiveness is not inferior to that of the Huns! So, we need to talk to them! Otherwise, if Goguryeo colludes with the Xiongnu, our Han will be in danger! ”

The words were divided into two ends, and the two envoys of Goguryeo quickly went to the mansion of Zaiheng.

When Wang Mang saw them, he smiled and said, "Why are you here in person?" Did you come to our big man to spy on the military? ”

Wang Mang's expression was a little funny.

"No! O Wang Jujun! We want to get along with you guys! Zhao Xinu laughed.

"Really? This is not like the style of the Goguryeo king of Megatron! The king of Goguryeo is a big man who makes the Xiongnu Shan Yu frightened! ”

Gao Zhumeng listened to Wang Mang's words, and always felt that Wang Mang was mocking him.

Afterwards, Wang Mang smiled and said, "Are you going to meet Your Majesty?" ”

"No need! Your Majesty is only a ten-year-old child! He doesn't understand anything! It's just an ornament. What are you going to see him for? ”

Wang Mang thought to himself: This is not good! In this way, Your Majesty will have an opinion on Lone again! It's really bad!

Subsequently, Wang Mang continued: "King of Goguryeo, queen, if you don't go to see the Son of Heaven. The Son of Heaven will definitely think that the Goguryeo people of your sect do not respect the king, and they are still a barbarian. Therefore, you need to go and visit the Son of Heaven. Let our Han Son of Heaven feel your Goguryeo sincerity! ”

Zhao Xinu thought to himself: If you don't go to see the Son of Heaven, Wang Mang will be framed!

Gao Zhumeng thought to himself: The Han people are trouble! I just love all this red tape!

The Goguryeo envoy thought to himself: Actually, our king still doesn't want to start a war with the new dynasty. After all, the army of the new dynasty is also a formally trained army.

We Goguryeo can't take advantage of it at all!

What's more, that Yan You is not an idle person, he can defeat our Goguryeo people. If we Goguryeo people resist stubbornly, I am afraid that what awaits us is only the destruction of the country and the extinction of the species.

The Goguryeo envoy looked at the depressed street, and there were still people selling scallion pancakes.

"Uncle, how much does this cake cost?" The Goguryeo envoy asked.

"It's only eighty dollars." The bread seller laughed.

"Eighty bucks? Why is it so expensive? If it were eight dollars, I would have believed it. So much money? You're afraid you're not cheating me, are you? Why is it so expensive? The Goguryeo envoy felt that he had met a liar.

"You must have come from out of town! Now the price of rice in Chang'an City has risen three times a day. The people are living a hard life. Do you really think that the current Chang'an City is still the Chang'an City of the former Han Dynasty? The bread seller cried.

The Goguryeo envoy thought to himself: How so? Isn't Wang Mang a saint? How could the country he governed become more and more depressed? Could it be that he is actually a false person?

"Isn't Your Majesty a virtuous monarch? How so? The Goguryeo envoy was curious.

"Your Majesty has indeed reduced the tax burden. But now the people have long run out of money. There are many natural disasters. Today, the aristocracy still grabs land on a large scale. The people have long since been unable to live. Your Majesty is helpless! The bread seller cried.
