Chapter 548: Wang Mang discovers Wang Lin's conspiracy
In the Weiyang Palace, Wang Mang looked at the recitals that the meticulous workers brought to record the words and deeds of the prince.
Wang Mang looked at it and couldn't help frowning.
He thought to himself: The prince is becoming more and more lawless now.
Today, the new dynasty is full of smoke. He didn't just help put down the rebellion. It's still adding fuel to the fire.
The crown prince couldn't help but secretly store disciples and armor, and privately purchased a large number of armor. The prince can't wait, does he want to force the palace?
"Lord Situ, the prince's recent behavior seems to be particularly abnormal. He dared to buy armor privately. Moreover, everything was tacitly approved by the great Sima Yanyou and the national teacher Liu Xin. Could it be that they have long been in collusion with the crown prince? Wang Mang scolded.
His spitting star actually splashed on the face of Da Situ Wang Xun.
Da Situ Wang Xun said with joy in his heart: "Now is the best time to bring down the great Sima Yan You and the national teacher Liu Xin." As long as our Wang family works together. I can definitely bring them down. ”
"Your Majesty, the crown prince has been plotting with Lord Sima and Master Guoshi recently." The Great Situ King said.
"I've heard about it, too. Moreover, the four princes are also planning something. It is said that the fourth prince Wang An actually colluded with Liu Xuan, the leader of the Green Forest rebels. He also secretly sold grain and grass to them. We, the people of the new court, are now doing business with the rebels. I don't understand it either. Is the rebels' money so easy to make? Is there any medullation in their hearts? Wang Mang said angrily.
Da Situ Wang Xun looked at Wang Mang's eyes, which turned red.
He thought to himself: This time His Majesty is really angry. He's become hysterical, as long as I add another fire. It will definitely make His Majesty furious, and even kill the entire clan of the Great Sima Yan You and the National Teacher Liu Xin.
Wang Mang thought to himself: No! I can't follow the will of the Great Situ Wang Xun too much. Wang Xun has always been corrupt and perverted the law, acting as a prestige. He also wanted to fight against the great Sima Yan You and the national teacher Liu Xin, so he spoke up.
His purpose is very simple, that is: to dominate the dynasty.
I can't let him get his way.
"Your Majesty, they have Your Majesty in their hearts. Otherwise, it would not have been done in secret. Besides, Wang An has always been kind. He may have been seduced by someone else. That's why it's like this. Maybe he didn't know it was a rebel either. Wang Xun pretended to defend Wang An, the fourth prince.
"How is that possible? The detailed work sent by me reflected: Wang An had contact with Liu Xuan in private. Could it be that Wang An didn't know that Liu Xuan was the leader of the rebels? Moreover, their conversation actually involved the seizure of the heir. Liu Xuan actually said that he rebelled to help the new dynasty. The fourth prince, Wang An, actually believed it. Is he brainless? Wang Mang scolded.
"Your Majesty, the fourth prince was also bewitched by Liu Xuan. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is afraid that he has been deceived by his father-in-law Liu Xin and the great Sima Yanyou. Da Situ Wang Xun comforted Wang Mang and said.
He thought to himself: Yan You, Liu Xin. This time, I will let you die without a place to be buried!
Wang Mang thought to himself: Why is Da Situ Wang Xun's meticulous work so powerful? Could it be that he is also spying on the crown prince Wang Lin and the fourth prince Wang An?
"Your Majesty, the top priority now is to arrest the Great Sima and the National Teacher as soon as possible. Otherwise, they are afraid that they will rebel at the ceremony of canonizing the queen! Da Situ Wang Xun said impatiently.
"Lord Situ, you don't have to worry. It's nothing. I'd like to see what their rebellion looks like. The canonization of the queen does not need to change. I just want to see how capable the crown prince and the four princes are. and Liu Xuan of the Green Forest Army. How will they assassinate me? I'd love to know. Wang Mang laughed.
He thought to himself: I am the king of all vehicles. How could they be afraid of such a small thief as the Greenforest rebels?
Da Situ Wang Xun felt a little disappointed, and continued to advise: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that it is better to strike first than to wait until something happens to deal with it. ”
"Strike first? Wouldn't that be a lot of fish that slipped through the net? I want them all to be caught. And I'm just going to pretend I don't know anything about their schemes. In this way, they will be more arrogant, and the nature of any cat and dog will be exposed. Wang Mang said with a smile.
"Your Majesty, in this way, won't more people have to shed blood and sacrifice?" Da Situ Wang asked.
"I just want them to sacrifice, so that we can select talents!" Wang Mang said with a smile.
Da Situ Wang Xun thought to himself: Your Majesty is doing this so that our royal family and nobles will also be suppressed. In this way, there will be no one to blackmail His Majesty in the future.
Wang Mang thought to himself: Wang Xun's wishful thinking is probably wrong. Put down the rebellion, and I will let your family take the lead.
"Lord Situ, you have always been able to do things. This time, the security of the queen's canonization ceremony is in your hands. You don't have a problem, right? Wang Mang said with a smile.
"Your Majesty, there must be no problem, I guarantee the completion of the task." The Great Situ King said tremblingly.
Wang Mang thought to himself: I will see how you suppress the rebellion.
Da Situ Wang Xun thought to himself: Your Majesty, this is killing two birds with one stone. His purpose is to take the opportunity to weaken the power of our Wang family. Achieve the purpose of centralization.
Just when the court of the new dynasty was full of undercurrents.
On the side of the Green Forest Army, Liu Xuan was also planning how to assassinate Wang Mang at the ceremony of canonizing the queen.
"Liu Bosheng, this time, in order to stabilize the hearts of the people in the world, Wang Mang actually came up with a way to make a queen. It's ridiculous and funny. Empress Shi Luo was only eighteen years old, younger than Wang Mang's grandson Wang Huizong. Wang Mang is also blessed. Liu Xuan said with a smile.
The leaders present laughed and said, "Wang Mang has a good fortune. ”
"Liu Shenggong, we can assassinate Wang Mang on the ceremony. Once Wang Mang died. The world will be in chaos. Our Green Forest Army will definitely take the opportunity to seize the world. Liu Yan said with a smile.
Wang Mang's two sons couldn't wait. The crown prince Wang Lin and the fourth prince Wang An all hired killers, and they both spent hundreds of thousands of gold. They're in a hurry than we are! Liu Xuan said with a smile.
"Since they're all in the nest. We can sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight. Liu Yan said with a smile.
"That's not going to work. If Wang Lin really kills Wang Mang, he will immediately control the situation and suppress our Green Forest Army with all his might. Then we're done. Our purpose is to wait until Wang Mang is killed, and then get rid of Wang Lin and Wang An. In that case, the new dynasty will be in chaos. Our Green Forest Army can enter Chang'an and change the dynasty. Liu Xuan said with a smile.
Liu Yan thought to himself: Liu Xuan has no people in his heart. He only has the hegemony of the world in his heart. Once such a person becomes an emperor, I am afraid that the people of the world will suffer again.
Liu Xiu thought to herself: Liu Xuan's strategy sounds good. However, Wang Mang needed to be assassinated first. In fact, Wang Mang is scheming. It's not that easy to be assassinated at all. Wang Lin and Wang An are afraid that they will be killed by Wang Mang.
