Zhai Yi was escorted to Chang'an City in a prisoner car.

He looked at the people on the road, but they were laughing at him.

"This melon skin has finally been captured! Otherwise, we don't know how many people will be killed by him. Now we ordinary people have a good life! Great! The people said.

The laughter of the people made Zhai Yi's heart cold to minus Celsius.

"Why don't the people understand me? I'm trying to save them! Why are they willing to follow Wang Mang? What kind of ecstasy soup did Wang Mang pour into them? ”

Zhai Yi actually howled and cried.

He remembered what his father Zhai Fangjin once said to him: "Wang Mang has a human face and a beast's heart, and his joy and anger are invisible. He is a traitor, a great traitor who is rare in a thousand years. If you want to get rid of him, don't go toe-to-toe with him! Outwit it! Otherwise, we'll be all done! ”

"Father, it's a pity that I'm in a hurry to avenge you. As a result, he was captured by Wang Mang. Our Zhai family has never had it again. Pathetic, alas! ”

Zhai Yi looked up to the sky and roared.

A few days later, Zhai Yi was torn apart by a car (five horses) in Chang'an City.

After that, Wang Mang successively quelled the rebellions of the princes and kings in various places, and killed most of the princes and kings of the Liu family.

Most of the Han clan members were also dismissed.

At this time, there were basically no Han officials in the court of the Han Dynasty. Except for Liu Xin and other Han clan relatives who were close to Wang Mang, they were not dismissed.

A lot of auspiciousness began to appear in various places.

In the early days of this day, the ministers began to tell about the auspiciousness of various places.

"Your Majesty, there has been a carp turning into a dragon in Luoyang." Liu Xinzuo reports.

"It's amazing. I can't believe it! Wang Mang deliberately pretended to be surprised, but in fact he thought to himself: This is just you sycophants pretending to be ghosts. Don't think I don't know.

"Your Majesty, a phoenix has appeared in Yiling." Zhen Feng said with a smile.

"Your Majesty, a unicorn has appeared in Nanyang." Wai Zhang smiled.

"I'm helpless. You all talk about it, what are the signs of so many auspicious things? Could it be that my Han is really already a peaceful and prosperous era? ”

Wang Mang continued to pretend to be confused.

"Your Majesty, I thought that the essence of auspiciousness was that a saint was going to appear in our empire. And he is the Three Emperors and Five Emperors, a saint like Yao Shun. ”

Wang Shun began to persuade him. He thought to himself, "I don't believe it." Our eldest brother only wants to be a regent emperor for the rest of his life, and he really doesn't want to be a real emperor. He's just being polite to us.

"Wang Shun. I don't care about saints right now. Only concerned about the follow-up of the Nanyang rebellion. I heard: Da Sima Yanyou actually accepted Zhai Yi's surrender privately? also privately pardoned Zhai Yi's million rebels? Is there such a thing? Lord Sima? ”

Wang Mang laughed.

He thought to himself: I'll see what you can do this time.

"Your Majesty, the ministers are especially strict and have taken into account the changes in the people's will and the war situation! Besides, Nanyang is rebellious. All the ministers have been put in prison. The minister also considered that the rebellion had just ended, and that there was a need for sufficient labor to resume production. ”

Wang Mang thought to himself: Yan You can still analyze the problem comprehensively! He can really be entrusted with a big task! With him to do things, I can rest assured!

"Nanyang's Haoqiang, especially the Yin Lu of the Xinye Yin family, how did the trial go? Wang Yi (Wang Mang's cousin). Wang Mang said with a smile.

"Your Majesty, Yin Lu has never admitted that he aided the rebels. He didn't feel like he was doing anything rebellious. Dasikong Wangyi said in frustration.

"How did you interrogate? Is it torture? Wang Mang said worriedly.

"Your Majesty, the minister did not torture him. Mr. Yin Lu is a big family and the richest man in Nanyang. If we torture like this. He was long dead. Even if the minister collected human and material evidence. However, so far, nothing has been found. ”

The head of the Great Sikong King shook like a rattle.

"It doesn't matter. Since there is no evidence, let's release Yin Lu! ”

"Your Majesty, how can Yin Lu be released? He's definitely funding the rebels! ”

Da Sikong Wang Yi said sadly.

He thought to himself: How do I think that His Majesty deliberately released Yin Lu? It is impossible for His Majesty not to find out. But he seems to have deliberately concealed a lot of truth.

"So, what about Guo Chang, a wealthy merchant in Zhao State? He financed most of the rebels' armor, food, grass, and horses. Wang Yi, did you find anything? Wang Mang said with a smile.

Guo Chang confessed, he said: I am willing to die. But he wants to spare his children. Wang Yi said with a smile.

"Guo Chang's wife is the lord of the clan. Not associated with the rebellion and can be pardoned. His children were not implicated. However, Guo Chang had to crack the car. Otherwise, the rest of the wealthy businessmen thought they could finance the rebels at will. ”

Wang Mang roared angrily.

After the next dynasty, Wang Mang went to the prison to visit Guo Chang.

Guo Chang's prison clothes were already stained with blood. His body was covered in scars and scars. He was already beaten to exhaustion.

When he saw Wang Mang, he smiled and said, "Your Majesty, hurry up and give me a death!" ”

Guo Chang's tears fell to the ground.

"Guo Chang! How can you do that? I've let you go many times. But what? But you have to make every inch, and even get worse. Wang Mang's eyes widened and he roared.

"Your Majesty the Emperor, the villain is just here to make money. Not for anything else! Guo Chang began to quibble.

"Why do you want to help the rebels gather intelligence? Moreover, you have sent assassins to Weiyang Palace many times to assassinate me. It's just that the assassins were all punished by the Yulin Army. ”

Wang Mang's words immediately made Guo Chang speechless.

He thought to himself: Why is Wang Mang so powerful? How many eyes and ears does he have? If this continues, no one can survive. Those of us who oppose Wang Mang are going to die. Why did the sky let a despicable villain like Wang Mang rule the world? Firmament. What's wrong with you? Could it be that the heavens are confused?

The loyal ministers and good generals of my Han Dynasty, and the pillars of the country have all been eradicated by Wang Mang. Is there any heavenly reason? Does that make sense? Is our Han family about to be destroyed? I'm really unwilling, unwilling!

"Now that you know everything. I won't hide it from you. Wang Mang, if you want to usurp the Jiangshan Sheji of the Han Dynasty, how can I, as the commander of the lord of the Han Dynasty, not do it? Guo Chang said with a smile.

"Okay. I will fulfill you! Wang Mang said with a smile.

Guo Chang was also torn apart in Chang'an soon after.

When his wife Liu Yao found out, she cried: "Wang Mang killed Guo Chang, and my children will have no father." Wang Mang, I must kill you! ”

"Your Majesty, now the rebellion has been put down. Is it time for Your Majesty to think about other things? Wang Mang complimented.

He thought to himself: If Your Majesty becomes the emperor, our Wang family will be a legitimate royal family!

"Wang Shun. Are you looking forward to the fact that I will become the true emperor? Then you are a prince? Hehe......" Wang Mang said with a smile.

"No! Your Majesty. The younger brother just felt that His Majesty needed to know something. If he is not in power now, there will be more Zhai Yi. Wang Shun said helplessly. His face seemed to be about to cry.
