"It seems that the people still think that our father-in-law is the true son of the dragon!" Wang Mang said with a smile.

He thought to himself: Liu Xin is the most loyal to me! I would never doubt him! But for others who say that Liu Xin is the true Son of the Dragon, I will have to deal with it!

At this time, there were indeed rumors among the people: Liu Xiu should be the Son of Heaven.

The New Dynasty had a population of 40 million at that time, so there were many people named Liu Xiu.

However, the most famous of them, Liu Xiu, is naturally a national teacher!

The national teacher Liu Xin also has a nickname called Liu Xiu.

Earlier, I said: Liu Xin is a descendant of Liu Jiao, the cousin of Liu Bang, the ancestor of the Han Dynasty. He obviously belongs to the Han clan with strong roots. However, he is Wang Mang's good friend. This is also a strange thing.

He used to be a student of Chang'an Taixue like Wang Mang. They are all well-versed in the Confucian classics! As a member of the Han family, he will inevitably be framed by the nobles of the new family!

Da Situ Wang Xun and Da Sikong Wang Yi are very dissatisfied with Liu Xin being Wang Mang's father-in-law! Therefore, Wang Xun and Wang Yi often spoke ill of Liu Xin in front of Wang Mang.

After a long time, Wang Mang also believed it.

For example, Wang Mang ascended the throne before. He hoped that Liu Xin, the head of the country, would be the great Sima.

However, Wang Xun advised: "Your Majesty, have you forgotten that you were also the father-in-law of Emperor Ping of Han before, and you were also the Great Sima!" ”

"Wang Xun, I can trust Liu Xin. He will not have the ambition to usurp the throne! Wang Mang said with a smile.

"Your Majesty, Liu Xin is a member of the Han family after all, he can't fully believe it! Recently, he has often visited the Empress Dowager, and they seem to be plotting something! Wang Xun said worriedly.

"I'm afraid not. The Empress Dowager is also the ancestor of the Han family. Liu Xin, as a member of the Han family, it is normal for him to go to meet him! Wang Mang smiled.

He thought to himself: Liu Xin is indeed a person who has to be guarded against! However, he is also a loyal and good general of our Great New Dynasty! You can't do that to him! However, it's okay not to give him a reward! After all, he is already the ruler of the country, and if he is made a big Sima, he will make me the emperor empty!

"Your Majesty, we still need to keep a close eye on Liu Xin!" Wang Xunthou said with a smile.

"You don't have to! Liu Xin is also our person after all. If he finds out, I'm afraid it will chill him. I don't want to give him a reward. Because he is my father-in-law, if he is rewarded, it is easy for people to think that my new dynasty is no different from the decaying former Han dynasty. Therefore, it makes sense not to give him a reward! Wang Mang said with a smile.

Wang Xun thought to himself: Then, Da Sima should be mine!

"Your Majesty, who is the position of Great Sima to be rewarded?" Wang Xun asked.

"To Yan You! His talent is enough to be the Great Sima! No one is more suitable than him! Wang Mang said with a smile.

Wang Xun thought to himself: Damn. Unexpectedly, the bamboo basket fetched water - a void. In the end, it was he Yan You who made the big Sima!

"But Yan You is an outsider after all!" Wang Xun said worriedly.

"Yan You is my classmate in Taixue, how can he be an outsider?" Wang Mang said with a smile.

Therefore, Liu Xin was still a national teacher in the sixth year of Wang Mang's ascension to the throne, that is, in the first year of Tianfeng, 14 AD.

His official position has not changed at all! In fact, it's because he is a member of the Han family!

Of course, the prophecy of "Liu Xiu should be the Son of Heaven" also made other people named Liu Xiu happy. For example, Liu Xiu in Nanyang is like this!

He was studying in Chang'an Taixue at this time.

After he heard that "Liu Xiu is the Son of Heaven", he said to his brother-in-law Deng Chen: "Brother-in-law, how do you know that it is not me?" ”

Deng Chen hurriedly covered Liu Xiu's sin and said, "Uncle Liu Wen, shut up!" If you talk nonsense like this, our whole family and even the whole clan will be connected! ”

Deng Chen was so frightened that he was frightened. He thought to himself: Uncle Liu Wen really doesn't know the height of the sky! If such a rebellious thing is said, it will kill the head!

However, Liu Xiu was not afraid at all, he continued: "Brother-in-law, our new dynasty also needs to be reformed. The current knife coin has failed to be promoted. Inflation is very strong. Our new dynasty should revive the five-baht coin! Otherwise, the economy of our new dynasty will not be as good as day by day! ”

Deng Chen sneered: "Uncle Wen! Are you crazy? Our new dynasty now uses sword coins as its official currency. If it's for five baht. Aren't we breaking the law? Moreover, His Majesty is bent on reform. If we continue like this, it will be a dead end! ”

"So, brother-in-law, Your Majesty is not a good emperor who loves the people like a son. In order to realize his personal ambitions, he has long abandoned all the people in the world in his heart! Liu Xiu couldn't help but feel sad.

He thought to himself: Your Majesty really shouldn't be so incompetent. Your Majesty is really a Confucian student. When I didn't ascend the throne before, I had a lot of rhetoric! Now that he has ascended the throne, he can't achieve it! Therefore, all the people of the world are very disappointed in him!

Because the gap in the hearts of the people is too great!

Deng Chen thought to himself: Liu Xiu has such knowledge at a young age, it's amazing!

At this time, Deng Yu walked in, and he said to Liu Xiu: "Let's go play polo!" It's so boring to study in Taixue right now! ”

"But I don't have any money!" Liu Xiu is embarrassed.

"I'm in for a treat today!" Deng Yu said with a smile.

Liu Xiu smiled: "How embarrassing is this? Doesn't that cost you? Liu Xiu was a little embarrassed, and his face turned red.

Deng Yu went to Deng Chen again and said angrily: "Big brother, let's go together, shall we?" ”

Deng Chen smiled: "I still have something to do, so I won't go today!" Then, Deng Chen turned around and left.

After Deng Chen left, Deng Yu continued to ask: "Uncle Wen, do you really believe in the prophecy of 'Liu Xiu should be the Son of Heaven'?" ”

"I don't believe it! If I can be the Son of Heaven, I will definitely crown Deng Yu as your great Situ. Liu Xiu said with a smile.

"A word is a certainty, no remorse!" Deng Yu said with a smile.

Liu Xiu thought to herself: I can't be the Son of Heaven anyway, just agree!

At the same time, the Xiongnu side is also preparing to invade the new dynasty!

In the Xiongnu royal court outside the Saiwai, Xian Dan Yu and Liu Xuan were looking at the map of the new dynasty!

"Your Highness Da Danyu, do you really want to invade the new dynasty?" Liu Xuan said worriedly.

He thought to himself: The new dynasty has just destroyed Goguryeo and shocked the other states. Invading the new dynasty now is tantamount to hitting a stone with an egg!

Of course, although the new dynasty destroyed Goguryeo, it was also greatly damaged. Our Huns are now crusading against Wang Mang, and we will definitely be able to take Chang'an and change the dynasty! Xian Danyu said with a smile.

"Da Dan Yu His Royal Highness, the new dynasty also has Yan You, Wu Han, Feng Yi and other proud generals! They can completely defeat our Huns! Big single Yu, you have to think twice! Liu Xuan said worriedly.

In recent years, Wang Mang thought that the use of knife coins had caused public resentment to boil. He will definitely not be able to resist our Huns! Xian Dan said confidently.

"Really? If so, how did Wang Mang destroy Goguryeo? Although the new dynasty is now suffering from internal and external troubles. But the new dynasty is, after all, the kingdom of the Celestial Empire. Liu Xuan said worriedly.
