58 read the book and said that Liu Yao, the sister of Liu Yang, the Marquis of Zhending, and Guo Chang made a marriage contract. However, when Emperor Cheng saw Wang Mang's report, Long Yan was furious and immediately summoned the four princes of Dingtao, Zhongshan, Chu and Zhao to Beijing to report on their work.

Zhendinghou's sister Liu Yao also entered Beijing with her brother Liu Yang.

Liu Yao disguised herself as a man and mixed in Zhao Guo's guards.

I looked at the guards of the four princes on the outskirts of the capital. Dingtao's guards are the most neat. Zhongshan's second, Chu's so-so, Zhao simply can't bear to look at it directly.

King Dingtao was only five years old at this time, and her mother, Empress Dowager Ding, was holding him.

The king of Zhongshan has a strong body, a belly full of fat, and at first glance he is a son with fine clothes and jade food. The king of Chu is also a big fat man. King Zhao's body was slightly emaciated, and the dark circles under his eyes were very heavy, feeling that he was a symptom of too many pampered beauties and kidney deficiency.

I asked my aunt: "Queen Mother, what should I do with the four princes?" ”

"Mang'er, look what they have to say. If they resist, they will have to be wiped out. You must know that Your Majesty has always been benevolent and has treated princes and kings very kindly. The life they lived was simply the life of an earth emperor. Let the wind be windy, and let the rain be rainy. However, they were still not satisfied, and still watched the artifact. In the past few years, some people in various vassal states have pretended to be ghosts and said that they had found dragons, phoenixes, and beasts. Especially in Dingtao Kingdom, Empress Dowager Fu's ambitions are already obvious. My aunt said helplessly.

"Erchen thought that it was enough to punish only King Dingtao. The kings of Chu and Zhongshan did not have much ambition. As for King Zhao, he has no ambitions at all. Don't worry. I laughed.

My aunt's face turned pale, and she said, "Mang'er, you are too young after all." The ambitions of the kings of Chu and Zhongshan were greater than those of the Empress Dowager Dingtaofu. It's just that they didn't show it. As for King Zhao, it was to train cavalry in Julu, Zhending and other places, recruit rangers, and outlaws. His younger brother Liu Yang even colluded with the wealthy businessmen and giants of Zhao State, and actually raised 3,000 customers. It's like a contemporary Xinling Jun. You actually say that King Zhao has no ambitions? ”

I was taken aback and asked, "Why didn't my aunt tell me earlier?" ”

"You've always been so stubborn. I told you, but you didn't believe it. Reckless. You're still not as good as your uncle. When your uncle was alive, the princes and kings trembled when they heard his name. When you go to inspect the vassal states, they treat you like a monkey. The aunt rebuked angrily.

My aunt didn't know at this time, in fact, I had already seen through King Zhao's thoughts. But I don't want Emperor Cheng to know, because only by letting the princes of the Liu family fight in the nest can our Wang family reap the benefits of the fisherman.

In the evening, at the post station, Liu Yang looked at the layout of the capital and said to King Zhao: "Your Highness, the layout of the capital is very lax. If we fly pigeons to spread the word now and mobilize the 5,000 cavalry of the giant deer to attack Chang'an City, then a big thing can be accomplished. ”

"Do the Imperial Guards in the palace eat dry rice? Wang Mang is not an idle person. King Zhao said worriedly.

"Your Highness, you only need to buy Wang Mang in advance, and after you promise to do it, you will make him the Great Sima. He naturally apostasy. Liu Yang said.

"Wang Mang is the nephew of the Queen Mother. How could he betray the Queen Mother? Besides, not only do we have soldiers and horses, but Dingtao, Zhongshan, and Chu all have their own ghosts. Can we beat them? King Zhao said.

"Now it is necessary to enter the palace to control Your Majesty and force Your Majesty to the throne of His Highness. In this way, His Highness can justifiably crusade against them. Liu Yang said with a smile.

In the meantime, I have strengthened the security in the palace. I present to Your Majesty the evidence that the four princes have privately transferred troops.

"What? King Zhao actually dared to mobilize the cavalry of the giant deer into Beijing? The King of Zhongshan actually colluded with the Xiongnu Shan Yu and Ning Hu Yan? When Emperor Cheng saw these letters, he couldn't believe it. On weekdays, the brothers who are kind and angry are actually such honey-bellied swords.

Let's talk about the deal between the Xiongnu and the Empress Dowager Feng of Zhongshan State.

Empress Dowager Feng was originally a tiger girl, and she directly pretended to be a general of Zhongshan and infiltrated the Xiongnu court. She met Wang Zhaojun of the Ninghu clan after a long absence.

The last time I got married was in 33 BC, and now it's 20 BC. Thirteen years have passed.

Empress Dowager Feng looked at Wang Zhaojun, who was graceful and graceful, and at this time she already had wrinkles, and her palms were much rougher.

Ning Hu Yan smiled and asked, "Sister, how are you doing these years?" ”

"That's it. Your Highness, are you homesick? Do you want to return to Dahan like Princess Jie Wei? Empress Dowager Feng asked.

"You can't help me?" Ning Hu Yan's tears dripped down.

"No, as long as we cooperate. You can go back to Dahan. Empress Dowager Feng said with a smile.

"How to cooperate?" Ning Hu Yan asked.

"Today, Liu Biao is mediocre and incompetent. The people complained. Liu Biao has no heirs, and there is no successor to the Han Dynasty. As long as Ning Hu Yan can persuade Da Dan Yu to mobilize the Hun cavalry to go south, force Liu Biao to abdicate to the King of Zhongshan, and wait for the mourning family to become the queen mother, you will return to your hometown and spend the rest of your life in peace. Empress Dowager Feng said with a smile.

"It's too 。。。。。。" Ning Hu Yan hesitated.

"Wang Zhaojun, think about it. Who made you suffer the Huns again? It's the Queen Mother. Without her, you would have returned to your hometown long ago. Which of the handmaidens who came with you to the Huns did not come home? You're the only one who is still struggling to live in this place. Empress Dowager Feng said bewildermently.

Outside the big tent of the Huns, the fine workers of the Zhuan clan were eavesdropping.

Subsequently, the craftsmen reported the matter to the Zhuan clan.

He said with a smile: "It is too risky to cooperate with Empress Dowager Feng. Empress Dowager Feng did not have enough voice in the central Han Dynasty. The odds of victory in the battle are too small. If the Empress Dowager Feng is handed over to the Empress Dowager for disposal, then it will be a great achievement for His Majesty. ”

Empress Dowager Feng found that Ning Hu Yan didn't seem to want to send troops.

So, she simply rode a fast horse and left the Xiongnu court.

The Hun brigade chased after them and shouted: "Capture the Han Dynasty spies alive." Empress Dowager Feng took out her horsewhip and whipped it hard.

Seeing that the Hun troops were about to catch up with Empress Dowager Feng. Suddenly, dozens of arrows were shot from the woods. The Hun generals fell one after another.

Empress Dowager Feng took the opportunity to escape.

Feng Yewang had already been there to answer the answer.

"Sister, are you alright?" Feng Yewang asked.

"The Huns are still close to the center of the Han Dynasty. We can't convince them. Empress Dowager Feng said helplessly. Sister, the Huns have been frightened by the central government of the Han Dynasty. At present, they do not dare to send troops. Feng Yewang said.

At the same time, I was leading an army to surround the private troops of the Zhao State.

A group of caravans were surrounded by the Imperial Guards led by me.

The merchant shouted, "We are merchants of the Zhao Kingdom. Why arrest us, is there any royal law? "I removed the goods from their wagon, and when I opened it, it was full of bows and arrows and swords.

"Are you selling weapons, or are you a spy of Zhao State?" I questioned the merchant.

At this time, a little brother with a pink face and fair skin said, "We just bought some nursing homes." ”

I took his hat off. His long hair floated down.

It dawned on me that she was a woman.

"Take them all away." I say.

The soldiers took the group of merchants with them.

I went to visit the woman in the women's prison.

"What kind of officer are you? Dare to arrest me. I am the sister of Liu Yang, the Marquis of Zhending. The fiancée of Guo Chang, a real family. If you don't let me out again, I'll tell my brother that you're insulting me. When the time comes, let Your Majesty destroy your nine clans. Liu Yao shouted.

"Liu Yao, you don't have to scare me. I am Wang Mang, the nephew of the current Queen Mother. You just say that I am insulting you, and I believe that no one will believe it. I laughed.

"Wang Mang, the new marquis, right? What if I tell your wife that you have insulted me? Liu Yao laughed.

"But if you say this, if Guo Chang believes it. Are you still married? Have you thought about it? I laughed.

"Then I'll let you marry me. Anyway, you ruined my reputation and will be responsible for me. Liu Yao laughed.

"I have a wife. You should be a concubine. I laughed.

"You let your aunt judge. I am the princess of the Han clan, let me be a concubine for your royal family? Are you being too unreasonable? Liu Yao said with a smile.

"Anyway, you can only be a concubine, if you want to follow me. When it comes to Your Majesty, I will say the same. I laughed.

On the other hand, King Zhao and Liu Yang panicked when they learned that Liu Yao's caravan had been arrested by me. King Zhao said: "If your sister confesses to us, then everything is over." I'm going to kill my mouth. ”

"His Royal Highness King Zhao, you actually want to kill my sister." Liu Yang said angrily, his eyes turned red.

"However, if we don't extinguish our mouth, our Zhao Kingdom will be destroyed by the Queen Mother." King Zhao cried. So, how will the affairs of Zhao Guo be handled?

The matter of King Zhao opened the prelude to the struggle between Wang Mang and the princes and kings. From then on, Wang Mang had no way out.
