Chapter 425: Guo Yi assassinates Wang Mang
"Your Majesty, our Great New Dynasty needs peace! Don't start a war against Loulan! Yan You cried.
Yan You thought to himself: Your Majesty is so reckless, I'm afraid that our new dynasty will be a catastrophe!
Wang Mang thought to himself: My Daxin Dynasty soldiers are strong and strong, proud of the world, how can I be afraid of this small Loulan country? It's just the overlord of the Western Regions, and has he learned to be as arrogant as Yelang?
Wang Mang continued: "Yan You, I don't know why you are so afraid of the Western Regions? The Xiongnu and Goguryeo were indeed strong. However, the countries of the Western Regions are all small states. Why be afraid? ”
Yan You looked into the distance: the crows in the trees were "quacking......". Knowing that it makes a sparse sound in the trees.
Wang Mang took a copy of "The Art of War" and gave it to Yan You.
Yan You looked at it and said, "Your Majesty, we need: a soldier who surrenders without a fight!" ”
"Say it lightly! The Loulan Kingdom in the Western Regions wants us to use five baht coins for the new dynasty, should we use it the same? Wouldn't that be a waste of my previous monetary reforms? ”
Wang Mang thought to himself: Monetary reform must not be wasted! Only by letting the powerful die out through the currency reform can the people have a good life!
"Huh? Your Majesty has become overly enthusiastic about building a royal paradise. Our current Great New Empire is far from being so beautiful! Yan You cried.
"Yan You, I can understand your mood. However, our new dynasty really doesn't need to be afraid of the little Loulan. I want to be the king of all vehicles, how can I be afraid of this little Loulan? Wang Mang grabbed the sword and roared.
Yan You turned to leave, his tears falling on the steps.
He thought to himself: Your Majesty is bent on building a powerful Confucian empire. However, today's world has long been boiling with public resentment. If it weren't for the fact that our new dynasty still has a strong army, it would have been everywhere a long time ago!
On Loulan's side, King Loulan summoned Guo Yi again.
"Guo Yi. How can we Loulan fight against Wang Mang? ”
"King Loulan, in fact, this is very simple. We only need to send someone to assassinate Wang Mang first, and then the coalition forces of the 36 countries in the Western Regions will attack Yumen Pass and kill Chang'an! Then the world can be determined! Guo Yi pointed to the map and smiled.
"But, Lord Guo. Who can kill Wang Mang? Wang Mang's Yulin Army doesn't eat rice! King Loulan said worriedly.
"I have already bought off the eunuch Luo Shan in Weiyang Palace. He was originally a eunuch beside Emperor Hanping's biological mother, Empress Dowager Wei. He is now in charge of Wang Mang's imperial meals in Weiyang Palace. As long as he can be poisoned, he can poison Wang Mang! Guo Yi said with a smile.
"However, even if Wang Mang is dead. It is also the crown prince who ascended the throne! Your Han family still can't be restored! It's nothing but a wedding garment for someone else. King Loulan said worriedly.
There was some hesitation in his tone.
"Rest assured. Wang Lin does not have Wang Mang's eloquence. Once he ascends the throne, the new dynasty will die like the Qin Dynasty! Guo Yi said with a smile.
"Even so, the countries of the Western Regions will fight each other because of the uneven distribution! We still can't take advantage of it! King Loulan said worriedly.
"Don't be afraid, all the countries in the Western Regions are Loulan's helpers. Because, I can have the secret edict of the former Han Empress Dowager. Guo Yi said with a smile.
"Oh? Could it be the secret edict of the queen mother? But Empress Yuan is also Wang Mang's aunt! She is now also the empress dowager of the new dynasty! It is said that he recently helped Wang Mang persuade the Xiongnu's Ning Hu clan to make peace with the new dynasty! King Loulan said worriedly.
"Rest assured. That's all superficial. Empress Yuan will not really help Wang Mang! After all, she is the Liu family! Over there of the Huns, I know it too! The Ning Hu clan had long wanted to attack the new dynasty. Guo Yi said confidently.
"Mr. Guo is really a god!" King Loulan said with a smile.
"The King. I have already prepared the poison of the cobra, as long as a little bit, Wang Mang can die on the spot. Guo Yi said with a smile.
So, how did the peace between the Xiongnu and the new dynasty go?
At this time, the Empress Dowager Wang Zhengjun had already written to Zhaojun, the king of the Ninghu clan of the Xiongnu. After Wang Zhaojun saw Wang Zhengjun's letter, he smiled and said, "I didn't expect Wang Zhengjun to speak for Wang Mang." She let me down so much! The person who originally regarded himself as the ancestor of the Han Dynasty is now a believer of Wang Mang? Is it true that nephews are closer than their own children and grandchildren? ”
The maid Dansheng smiled: "Niangniang." The slave thinks otherwise! It should be because Wang Zhengjun wants Wang Mang to let go of the former Han clan. So had to come up with a stopgap solution! ”
"Really? I hope so! Wang Mang is indeed a bastard, his aunt trusts him so much, but he usurped the Jiangshan Sheji of the former Han Dynasty for more than 200 years! Is he still human? Wang Zhaojun roared.
". Although Wang Mang is kind to Wang Zhengjun now. However, as the empress dowager of the previous dynasty, it is impossible for her to be unbiased against Wang Mang. If we can secretly communicate with Wang Zhengjun, we will definitely be able to deal with Wang Mang! Dansheng suggested.
Wang Zhaojun thought to himself: That's true! We can unite with Wang Zhengjun!
"That's right, Dansheng. Who is the messenger of the new dynasty who is now delivering the letter? Wang Zhaojun suddenly wondered.
". It seems to be Wang Qing. Wang Zhengjun's nephew and Wang Mang's cousin. Dansheng replied.
"Is this person from Wang Mang's faction or Wang Zhengjun's faction?" Wang Zhaojun said worriedly.
"He must be the man of the king! This person has never been on good terms with Wang Mang. It is unlikely to be Wang Mang's person. Otherwise, as a child of the Wang family, he wouldn't still be delivering letters! It can be seen that Wang Mang doesn't trust him! Dansheng analyzed.
The next day, Wang Zhaojun said to the believer Wang Qing, "The messenger will go back first, right?" And pro things. We still need to discuss with Da Shan Yu before we can decide! ”
"Really? His Royal Highness the Ninghu Clan. This messenger's mission has not been completed, and he can't go back! Otherwise, our majesty asks. How do I explain this? Wang Qing said worriedly.
"But harmony is a big thing for our Huns. It needs to be discussed by the people of our various tribes before we can decide! Wang Zhaojun shirked.
"Then the messenger will wait until you discuss the results and then return to the new dynasty!" Wang Qing said with a smile.
"Really? Then you'll have to wait. Ning Hu Yan laughed.
Besides, Loulan's side.
The prime minister has already given Guo Yi the cobra poison in the bottle.
"This poison is enough to make Wang Mang die in half an hour. And there is no cure. Even if the imperial doctor is next to him, Wang Mang is a dead end! The minister said proudly.
"Your Excellency, how are the soldiers and horses in Loulan doing? Is it possible to fight the new army? Guo Yi said worriedly.
"No problem. If the new army fights against our Loulan people, there will definitely be no return! The prime minister replied forcefully.
Guo Yi thought to himself: Why don't I believe it? The army of the new dynasty is not tofu scum, is it so easy to defeat?
Guo Yi took out a piece of jade, handed it to the prime minister, and said, "This is the jade that only the prince of the former Han Dynasty had." As long as you hold him, my friends on the rivers and lakes will respond to you. ”
