Wang Jingyan heard Ye Lian's analysis and continued: "Sister Ye Lian! You're still thinking too simply! Your Majesty is not such a good talker! If he really believed that Wang Mang and Zhao Feiyan had an affair, he would definitely kill Wang Mang! ”

"How so? Wang Shang was fine last time! ”

"You are from the Western Regions, and you don't understand the monogamy and polygamy system of our Central Plains people. Adultery by concubines is nothing at all! Our big Han, in the Spring and Autumn Period, there was even a precedent for giving concubines to ministers! For example, the Tian family of Qi State, the ancestor of the Wang family, even relied on the method of instigating adultery between doormen and concubines to reproduce heirs, and within a year, the number of heirs reached more than 70 people! The Tian family replaced Jiang Ziya's descendants and became the king of Qi! ”

"This story, sister, I have heard. This is also what you Central Plains people are ashamed of! ”

Ye Lian began to laugh.

She seemed to be laughing at the vulgarity of the Central Plains people!

Wang Jingyan continued: "That's true. So adultery with a concubine is nothing! The emperor didn't care at all. But the queen's adultery is a great shame for the royal family. It may endanger the country! If the queen and outsiders give birth to a prince, then the Han dynasty will be usurped by outsiders! ”

Wang Jingyan's eyes showed horror. Her eyes widened and tears flowed down her face. She thought to herself: This time, if her husband can't come back, what will our Wang family do? The sons all covet the position of our new capital.

At the same time, Wang Mang was still thinking about life in prison.

He thought to himself: Why do I always try my best to achieve my ideals, but it always backfires? Could it be that the big man is really hopeless?

Thinking of this, Wang Mang couldn't help but burst into tears.

When Chen Tang saw him like this, he thought: Wang Mang is still too idealistic!

The next day, Wang Jingyan went to Changle Palace, where the Queen Mother was located.

The palace is furnished with some peeling tables and chairs. The Queen Mother wore a hairpin that had lost some luster, and her black hair was mixed with some silver threads. Her wrinkles were all over her face, and her skin was no longer elastic.

When she saw Wang Jingyan coming, she got up and said, "Mrs. Wang, you know the intention of your visit. You want to let the mourning family persuade Your Majesty and let Xiao'er let Wang Mang go! ”

"The Queen Mother. That's exactly what I thought! ”

"But Mrs. Wang, the matter between Wang Mang and Zhao Feiyan was discovered by His Majesty on the spot. It's hard to say anything about the mourning family! ”

"The Queen Mother. The folk girl just found some clues! For example, the edict of His Majesty was given to her husband by the eunuch Xiao Lingzi! Girl, please see! ”

As he spoke, Wang Jingyan took out the edict and gave it to the Queen Mother.

The Queen Mother looked at it and noticed that there was something unusual about the handwriting on it. She affirmed on the spot: "This is not His Majesty's handwriting." There are ministers who are impersonating. This edict is a fake, and the person who wrote the edict is quite familiar with His Majesty's handwriting! ”

"The Queen Mother is wise! Indeed it is. Otherwise, His Majesty himself announced that Wang Mang would go to the Imperial Garden, why did it become a private meeting between Wang Mang and Empress Zhao? It's a scam! ”

"The mourners have already guessed who it is! The only person who is so familiar with the affairs of the palace can only be our own people! Neither can anyone else! ”

"Yes, Queen Mother. That's what the women have to say, if that's the case, our big man is really in danger. There are people who dare to deceive the Holy Lord and deceive the Holy Cong. It's scary to think about! If such an inner ghost is not caught. Our Han will never have peace! ”

The Queen Mother's expression began to distort, like a lion all the time, baring her teeth and widening her eyes.

Wang Jingyan thought to herself: This is great, my husband's grievances can be washed away!

Subsequently, the Empress Dowager handed the fake edict to Emperor Cheng.

Emperor Cheng looked at it and said, "Queen Mother, this person's intentions are too sinister. It was actually pretending to be my handwriting. It's completely possible to confuse the real with the fake. If you can't find out this person. Our big man is in danger! ”

"Yes, if this person will make a false decree next time. Isn't our big man finished! ”

"Mother, I really should find out this inner ghost!"

"Then the emperor, should you release our new capital marquis?"

The Queen Mother glared at Emperor Cheng and thought: This majesty is always grinding and chirping, just like a girl, why did the mourning family give birth to such a stupid son as you?

Emperor Cheng smiled in an instant and said, "Okay, you can." I release Wang Mang immediately! Reinstate him as an officer. and Zhao Feiyan. Let her come back from the cold palace! ”

"Emperor, Zhao Feiyan doesn't have to. Let her stay in the cold palace! ”

"But the harem needs to be managed! You can't live without a queen! ”

Emperor Cheng was suddenly as anxious as an ant on a hot pot, scratched his ears and cheeks, and said, "Could it be that Libanzhao is the queen?" She's crazy now! How can you be a queen? ”

"Your Majesty, Empress Xu can be reinstated!"

"Reset? Are you kidding. Aha...... She cursed me to death last time. Do I want her to be reset and continue to curse me? Xu Qinglin is a slut. I will never forgive her! I want her to die of old age in the cold palace! ”

Emperor Cheng said, clenching his right hand.

The Queen Mother thought to herself: I didn't expect that so many years have passed. Liu Biao still has a grudge against Xu after the abolition! What to do? Forget it, if Your Majesty wants Zhao Feiyan to be reinstated, just reset it! The mourning family doesn't care!

The Empress Dowager was always overly accommodating to her son as emperor. This laid a hidden danger for the decline of the Han Dynasty.

Soon after, the eunuch went to the prison to proclaim: "After my investigation, it is really the eunuch Xiao Lingzi who has sowed discord and deceived Shengcong." Pardon Wang Mang. ”

Wang Mang suddenly kowtowed like pounding garlic and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty!" ”

Wang Mang then took three steps and made two steps, and left the prison in a hurry.

Looking at Wang Mang's back, Chen Tang thought: When can I go out? Chen Tang's body was already rickety, and his legs were bent. His face was getting more and more wrinkled.

After Wang Mang returned to the imperial court, he went to Weiyang Palace to meet Emperor Cheng.

Emperor Cheng said, "Cousin. I misunderstood you! You're not really that person. I already knew! That's why I went to investigate it myself. It was found to be a trick by the eunuch Xiao Lingzi. He has committed suicide in fear of sin! Don't worry, now no one is separated between our monarchs and ministers! ”

Wang Mang thought to himself: Your Majesty is obviously talking nonsense. Little Zero is long dead. The mastermind of this matter could not have been a eunuch. It must be some high-ranking official!

Wang Mang said, "Your Majesty." I think this matter is probably not so simple! Probably someone else's instigation! Otherwise, a small palace would definitely not have such great courage. It must be a high-ranking official behind the scenes! ”

Emperor Cheng pretended to be surprised and said, "Wang Mang, what you said makes sense!" I'm going back to investigate! ”

So, can Emperor Cheng really investigate the real murderer?
