"Your Majesty, I heard that Li Tong of Nanyang is a genius!" Da Sikong Wang Yi said with a smile.

"The Li family in Nanyang is also a wealthy family!" Wang Mang said with a smile.

"Your Majesty, we really need to communicate with them!" Wang Yi said with a smile.

Wang Mang continued: "What we need to do is to let Li Tong serve the imperial court......"

"Your Majesty, but I heard that there is a prophecy among the people: the Liu family is prosperous, and the Li family assists!" The general Wang Xun suddenly interrupted Wang Mang's words!

"What does that mean?" Wang Mang asked.

"My understanding is: the restoration of the Han dynasty needs the assistance of Li Tong!" General Wang Xun explained.

"Did the general have a holiday with Li Tong? Do you need to hack him like this? There are many people with the surname Li in the world. Why do you say Li Tong? Wang Mang said curiously.

"Li Tong is now the most influential Li family in the world. Naturally, it's him! Wang Xun explained.

"Not necessarily! Li family, Liu family, I have too many new dynasties! Could it be that the Liu family can be the son of heaven? Wang Mang said with a smile.

"So Your Majesty needs to make a decision! Execute all the Liu family and the Li family! This way, there are no worries! Wang Xun said with a smile.

"Didn't you let me be a faint king? That's not right! Wang Mang roared.

He thought to himself: Wang Xun is really ruthless! I actually let me kill the Liu family and the Li family in the world. Isn't this going to provoke a rebellion?

"But that's the safest way to do it! In this case, the Han family will never be restored! Wang Xun said with a smile.

"The Han dynasty can't be restored, but our new dynasty has also been overthrown by the peasants!" Wang Mang said angrily. His eyes have turned red!

"However, the threat of the Han family is much greater than that of the peasants! The reason why Qin Shi Huang died in the second year was, in the final analysis, that he did not cut the grass and eradicate the roots, and did not destroy the remnants of the Six Kingdoms, but as a result, the bloodline of Ying Qin was wiped out by Xiang Yu, the overlord of Chu! Wang Xun suggested.

He thought to himself: True! Only by cutting the grass and eradicating the roots, can our new dynasty be able to survive for thousands of generations and never die!

"Wang Xun, you can't say that! The will of the people is everything! In ancient times, why could there be kingdoms for thousands of years? for the people are stable. However, the Qin Dynasty lasted only fifteen years because the people were unstable. The former Han Dynasty also lost the hearts of the people. Our new dynasty should rule the country with virtue, this is the right way in the world! Wang Mang said eloquently.

The next day, Wang Mang summoned Li Tong in Weiyang Palace!

"Li Tong, I heard that you are the Qing official Li Tong in Nanyang?" Wang Mang said with a smile.

"Don't dare to be." Li Tong said with a smile.

"Li Tong, what do you think the king needs most?" Wang Mang said with a smile.

"Your Majesty, naturally you are convinced by virtue!" Li Tong said with a smile.

"How do you convince people with virtue?" Wang Mang said with a smile.

"Naturally, it is to practice benevolent government! so that the people may be at ease. Only then can the country be stable! Li Tong said with a smile.

"That's what I thought for a long time. But benevolence also requires conditions! Not just anything can be benevolent! Nowadays, people's livelihood is withering, and all kinds of waste are waiting to be rebuilt. Now that the benevolent government is practiced, there is not so much money! Wang Mang was embarrassed.

Li Tong thought to himself: Your Majesty is actually playing the sign of benevolent government. He doesn't want to be benevolent at all! In this case, how can their Wang family get benefits?

"It's actually very simple. What our new dynasty needs is education, as long as Your Majesty builds a new Taixue, encourages the people to join Taixue, and pardons a group of prisoners related to the former Han case, it will naturally be able to win the support of the people! Li Tong said with a smile.

He thought to himself: Liu Yan! That's all I can do to help you! Otherwise, I'm afraid you will be killed by Wang Mang!

"Do you want me to pardon those who rebel?" Wang Mang said with a wicked smile.

"Yes! They are also only for the ex-Han. In fact, their loyalty can be seen by the sun and the moon. They shouldn't be wanted! Li Tong cried.

Wang Mang listened to Li Tong's sobbing voice and thought: What Li Tong said is not wrong! Indeed, I should forgive them!

Wang Mang didn't know at this time, in fact, his kindness at the moment would make him regret it for the rest of his life. Li Tong's purpose is not so simple! Li Tong has a personal relationship with Liu Yan. He hoped that Wang Mang would pardon Liu Yan so that the Han family could be preserved.

Li Tong has actually been dissatisfied with Wang Mang for a long time!

However, he knew that the time was not yet ripe!

"Your Majesty, this is Li Tong's trick! I can't believe it! General Wang Xun said worriedly.

He thought to himself: Li Tong and Liu Yan colluded, so he spoke for Liu Yan! If you really believe him, our new dynasty will be in danger!

"Your Majesty, I hope you understand my painstaking efforts!" Li Tong cried.

"I know your hard work! I've long wanted to be benevolent! Wang Mang said with a smile.

Wang Xun thought to himself: Your Majesty is really old and confused! actually believes the words of the ill-intentioned Li Tong, our new dynasty is really going to be in danger!

Da Sikong Wang Yi continued: "Yes! Your Majesty, we can't trust Li Tong too much. He knows the Yin family, Liu Yan, and the Deng family. Couldn't he be a spy? ”

Wang Mang thought to himself: Actually, it's not impossible! But we can't always think like that! What if Li Tong is for the prosperity of our new dynasty? I can't wronged a good person! In this case, who will dare to come to see me at that time?

"Our new dynasty is a democratic empire, you have different opinions to discuss! You don't need a needle to the wheat! That's not good! Even if Li Tong has dealings with the Yin family and the Deng family, it is normal! The Yin family was originally the most wealthy family in the world, and the chariots and horses raced the princes and kings. Such a big family, even most of the officials of our new dynasty know it! Otherwise, how could so many officials jointly write a letter asking for pardon for the Yin family? Wang Mang said with a smile.

Wang Xun thought to himself: Your Majesty is really discerning! It seems that Your Majesty must know about my collection of money from the Yin family! Otherwise, he wouldn't have said that!

"Your Majesty, Li Tong is plotting against you. He clearly wants to harm our new dynasty, and the minister asks His Majesty to execute him! Da Sikong Wang Yi scolded.

His eyes were facing Li Tong, and he thought: Your Majesty is also unconscious! I didn't even notice Li Tong's sinister intentions! Li Tong is going to destroy our new dynasty and restore the Sheji Temple of the Han Dynasty!

"The great general Wang Xun, the great Sikong Wangyi. Why are you so excited? Did Li Tong's suggestion get in the way of you? Wang Mang roared.

"Your Majesty, no! Chen is just worried that Li Tong has ulterior motives! He also participated in Liu Yan's rebellion, so I hope you will pardon Liu Yan! Da Sikong Wang Yi scolded.

"Really? Tingwei has already investigated, and Liu Yan did not rebel. The last time I was assassinated was an envoy sent by King Loulan. King Loulan also admitted it! Wang Mang said with a smile.

"Your Majesty, this is a trick by the Loulan people!" Da Sikong Wang Yi cried.

Actually, they were right! Li Tong does have ulterior motives! It's a pity that Wang Mang can't see it, he is too confident!
