After Zhai Yi persuaded Guo Chang to join, he returned to the palace of Liu Xin, the king of Dongping.

"King, I've gained a lot this time! Not only Guo Chang surrendered to us, but even the rich merchants of other vassal states also surrendered! Your Majesty, you are now well fed, and you seem to be the leader of the world! Do you want to find a suitable time to ascend the throne and become the emperor and crusade against Wang Mang? ”

Zhai Yizhi was full of pride and began to brag about his merits.

"Zhai Yi! You better stop bragging, right? The widow thinks that if you can convince Liu Yan of Nanyang to surrender to us, then the widow will be equivalent to getting the world! ”

"The King. This Liu Yan has the courage of ten thousand people. I know. But I'm afraid he won't live under people for long! If, I go and invite him over, and after eliminating Wang Mang, if he turns against the water, we will be finished! Zhai Yi finally voiced his concerns.

"Don't worry! Liu Yan only has the courage of a horseman, he has the courage and no strategy. We can easily control him! So, let's not worry about this at all. Use him to get rid of Wang Mang first. Then, let's kill him again! Liu Xin, the king of Dongping, said with a smile.

Zhai Yi thought to himself: No! Although that Liu Yan is brave, he is definitely not a straw bag! If we were to kill him, he would find out! When the time comes, we won't be able to figure it out, and he'll kill you!

"Are you still worried that Liu Yan will establish himself as the emperor? He shouldn't have that much ambition! Liu Xin, the king of Dongping, said with a smile.

"Has the king forgotten? When Liu Yan's younger brother Liu Xiu was born, the sky was full of purple clouds. The sky above Nanyang turned completely purple. Many people said that this indicates that Wang Mang is going to be the emperor! In fact, it should be proved in Liu Yan's younger brother Liu Xiu! ”

Zhai Yi said helplessly.

"But since Liu Yan's father, Liu Qin, died in the county, the life of the Liu Qin family is no different from that of the peasant family! In this way, does Liu Yan still have the power to rebel? ”

Seeing that King Dongping was still so confident, Zhai Yi continued: "The king is still thinking too simply! Liu Yan has a ranger temperament. He has loyalty. In order to protect the Han family, he can do whatever it takes! Such talents are the most terrifying! He usually scatters his family property and recruits like-minded friends. So: he had already planned to revolt. But he definitely doesn't support you, the king! ”

"Will he embrace his younger brother Liu Xiu?" Liu Xin, the king of Dongping, joked.

"No! But he will support a virtuous Han clansman. Zhai Yi said with a smile.

Zhai Yi thought to himself: Why do all the princes have their own ghosts like this? If this continues, our big Han camp will collapse on its own!

"Do you want the widow to promise what official position and fief to give after victory?" King Dongping said with a smile.

"That's right! King. Back then, Emperor Gaozu, in order to defeat Xiang Yu and seize the world, multiplied the fiefs to Han Xin, Peng Yue, and Yingbu, so that they could unite and deal with the powerful Xiang Yu! Now you are the Emperor Gaozu of the past! Zhai Yi persuaded him.

"How can a widow be compared to the immortal Emperor Gaozu? How much suffering and torture did Emperor Gaozu go through? The talent of the widow is less than one percent of that of Emperor Gaozu! The widow can't be compared to Emperor Gaozu! ”

Liu Xin, the king of Dongping, shook his head helplessly.

"Actually, you don't like to be the emperor, it's just that you can't bear to let the people of the world suffer from war, so you came forward!" Zhai Yi said with a smile.

"I see! Zhai Yi, what you said actually makes quite sense! However, in order to be an emperor, it is too risky! ”

"You've changed too much! Who are you? Zhai Yi thought to himself: Which old friend might it be!

"Zhai Yi, I still advise you to surrender quickly! If you don't surrender now, when Wang Mang's army presses the border, you won't have a chance to surrender! The little girl laughed.

"What a girl! You're too young! Now, I'll surrender. Wang Mang, that old thief, won't let me go! I will still be executed by Wang Mang, Wang Mang is a person whose own son can be killed! He can sacrifice everything for the sake of profit, such a terrible character, let's stay by our side is considered a scourge! Zhai Yi said indignantly.

Zhai Yi thought to himself: Wang Mang is my father-killing enemy, if I can't kill Wang Mang this time. My father will not rest in peace under the Nine Springs!

"So what else can be done? Even I don't believe that you guys can defeat the county's forces. If you meet a patrol, you will take a break! The girl laughed.

"Dare to ask the girl's name!" Zhai Yi said with a smile.

"My name is Liu Boji. There are five siblings in the family, and my father died early. ”

After listening to Liu Boji's narration, Zhai Yi's eyes suddenly lit up, and he said with a smile: "Are you the daughter of Liu Qin's county order, and your brother is Liu Yan?" ”

"Yes! Uncle, Liu Yan is my eldest brother! Liu Boji said with a smile.

Zhai Yi thought to himself: I'm not so old, am I? My father Zhai Fangjin is the same generation as Wang Mang and Liu Qinxian Ling! I should be considered the same generation as Liu Boji, right? He should call me brother!

Subsequently, Liu Boji took Zhai Yi to Liu Yan's house.

After seeing Liu Yan, Zhai Yi began to speak disrespectfully: "Liu Bosheng! Now that Wang Mang is in chaos, he is already angry with the government and the opposition, and the sky is angry and people are complaining! Therefore, my lord has decided to revolt, as long as you can submit to my lord Dongping. After victory, you are guaranteed to be prosperous and rich, and you will enjoy it inexhaustibly! ”

Liu Yan heard it, something was wrong! Why haven't you eliminated Wang Mang yet, so you came to me with a shelf! If you take over the world, will I not be your servant? How unreasonable! I just don't cooperate with you!

"I don't want to mess with the affairs of the court! The affairs of the court have nothing to do with us! I just hope to get through this life safely! How many sons do I have? ”

Liu Yan pretended to have no ambitions, but in fact, he just didn't want to unite with Zhai Yi and them. He felt that they were unreliable. I'm afraid that if I unite with them, I will hurt myself if I fail!

"Liu Yan, are you really unwilling to cooperate with us?" Zhai Yi asked.

At this moment, a crow flew by in the distance, quacking.

Where the crows flew, there was a mess everywhere.

"No, I can't. We can't cooperate. We support His Royal Highness Ruziying, not your Royal Highness King Dongping. If King Dongping ascends the throne and becomes the emperor, he will be the same chaotic minister and thief as Wang Mang. His legal system is not right! Liu Yan roared.

His eyes were filled with a red glow. He thought to himself: How can I, Liu Yan, help King Dongping rebel? I can't do it! They're the other thieves!
