Dong Xian knelt numbly in front of the coffin, looking at Wang Mang who was arrogant in front of him, his face was like ashes. Wang Mang's personality, he couldn't be clearer.

Shortly after Wang Mang was made the new marquis, his uncle Wang Gen planned to retire from the position of Grand Sima. But Wang Mang's cousin, who is also the nephew of the Empress Dowager, Chun Yu has long hair first, and surpassed him in status, plus he is good at flattery, and he once contributed to Emperor Han Cheng to set up Zhao Feiyan as the empress, and was deeply trusted by Emperor Han Cheng, and was soon promoted to Wei Wei, in charge of the palace guards, and became one of the nine Qings. Therefore, many people think that Chun Yuchang should succeed Da Sima. In order to bring down his rivals in his career, Wang Mang secretly collected Chun Yuchang's crimes, and then took the opportunity of the visit to tell Wang Gen that Chun Yuchang was secretly ready to take over as the Great Sima, and he had made wishes to many people to make officials, and at the same time told Chun Yuchang about his affair with the deposed queen Xu. Wang Gen was furious and asked him to report to the Empress Dowager as soon as possible, and the Empress Dowager was furious and asked Emperor Cheng of Han to depose Chun Yuchang, find out his crimes, and kill him in prison.

In the first year of Suihe (8 B.C.), Wang Gen was seriously ill and recommended Wang Mang to replace the position of Great Sima, and after the death of Chun Yuchang, Wang Mang succeeded his three uncles and uncles as Great Sima, at the age of 38. That year, Dong Xian was 15 years old and was still working as a prince in the East Palace. This secret story was also unintentionally mentioned after listening to his father Dong Gong after drinking, and repeatedly emphasized that don't mess with this Wang Mang, this person is too insidious.

Today, when I saw Wang Mang walking in majestically, I suddenly felt that everything was lost. In the hands of such an old fox, I am afraid there is no way to live.

Wang Mang first went to the Ling, paid tribute to Liu Xin with a kneeling salute, turned around, took out a letter, and shouted:

"The Empress Dowager decreed that the great Sima Dong Xian would not personally serve the medicine during His Majesty's serious illness, and it was forbidden to enter and leave the gate of the Sima Mansion in the palace! In addition, Situ Kongguang impeached Dong Xian for ten crimes:

1. Conspiracy to force the palace. In the second year of Yuanshou, Dong Xian conspired to tamper with His Majesty's book "Honesty in charge of affairs in the court", which is the text of the ancient Yao Chan Shun, and then instigated His Majesty to get drunk and Zen Rang, and even snatched the jade seal of the country on the occasion of His Majesty's funeral.

2. Deceive the king and deceive the holy hearing. Since Dong Xian took office as the Great Sima, he clearly ordered that the hundred officials should not perform to His Majesty.

3. Nepotism. Sima Dong Xian relied on His Majesty's grace, did not want to repay the country's kindness, but sought personal interests for himself, and successively sought Guanglu for his father Dong Gong, and his younger brother Dong Kuanxin was promoted to the rank of Captain of the Horse.

Fourth, framing Zhongliang. In the fourth year of Jianping, Xian instructed Sun Chong, Xifu and others to accuse Wu Chen, the wife of Liu Yun, the king of Dongping, of suing the ghosts and gods during the sacrifice, so that they could bring disaster to the people they hated, and the princess was executed, and the king of Dongping committed suicide unjustly. Prime Minister Wang Jia avenged his grievances and was falsely accused by Xian and imprisoned to death.

5. Fornication. Sima Dongxian bewitched His Majesty, so that His Majesty only had one queen, until he returned to heaven, he had no heirs, and his sin was so great that he should be punished by the ten clans!

6. Disobey the etiquette system. Sima Dongxian instigated His Majesty to build a tomb next to the Righteous Tomb, the coffin is made of gold and jade, its specifications have long exceeded the regulations of the courtiers, and the things used are all on Your Majesty, which is the shame of the monarch and the shame of the world!

7. Supporting the army and rebelling. In the fourth year of Jianping, Sima Dongxian privately attacked the warriors, and coerced Zhonghuangmen to ask for weapons in the arsenal, as many as ten times before and after, and his rebellious heart was clearly revealed!

8. Forming parties for personal gain. Sima Dongxian privately befriended Sun Chong, Xifu and others, all for his own selfish alliance to resist loyalty and goodness, which made the court and the people suffer from misery.

9. Corruption and bribery. Sima Dong Xian's position is convenient, crazy accumulation of money, foreign tributary officials, rude money can not see Your Majesty, this is the moth of the country.

10. Arrogant and domineering. In the second year of Yuanshou, Dong Xian was Sima, but he was extremely arrogant to Situ Kongguang and Sikong Peng Xuan and Zhu Xu, who were also the third dukes, and they had to be cumbersome and redundant in and out, and their power was almost equal to that of His Majesty!

Minister, Situ Kongguang's impeachment of Dong Xian's crimes, every sentence is true, and the rules are well-founded, please ask the Empress Dowager to investigate! ”

By the time he read it to the end, Dong Xian had completely fainted to the ground. Wang Mang glanced at him contemptuously, threw the fold on the ground, and walked away.

The next day, Dong Xian was guarding the spirit, suddenly heard the messenger come in to announce the decree, Dong Xian knew that he was already in a catastrophe, since yesterday after seeing the impeachment of his ten major crimes, he knew that his end had come, at this moment no matter how the angel threatened him with the prestige of the Empress Dowager, he was already indifferent, the messenger was helpless, opened the edict and read:

"Since Dong Xian entered the palace, yin and yang have been out of harmony, disasters have come, and civilians have suffered. The third duke is the most important auxiliary minister of the emperor, and Dong Xian, the Marquis of Gao'an, does not understand the truth of things, and serving as the great Sima cannot satisfy everyone, and cannot be used to defeat the enemy and pacify remote places. specially took back the seal of the big Sima and ordered Dong Xian to resign and go home. ”

It was night, the moon and stars were scarce, the lights in the Da Sima Mansion were bright, and the voices of people were noisy. The news of Dong Xian's dismissal and impeachment had already flown to all parts of Chang'an like wings, and the guards in Sima's mansion were even more panicked, the bold cook had already sneaked away with a kitchen knife, and by the way, he took away a maid in the mansion, and the timid also began to whisper, asking each other, not knowing where their path was. They didn't dare to leave, because they were slaves and maids bought by Sima Fu, and the documents for selling themselves were still in Dong Xian's hands. But they didn't dare to ask Dong Xian, although he had been demoted to the people, but the deep-rooted concept of hierarchy still made them choose to continue to wait.

Dong Xian sat in front of the window, watching a crescent moon rise into the sky, and couldn't help but feel more and more sad. Even the moon is incomplete, it seems that he is really going to leave this world, rather than being abused to death by Wang Mang and them, it is better to cut it off by himself, besides, he can't stand that sin.

Looking at the two pretty faces reflected in the bronze mirror, Dong Xian sighed and said to his wife: "Madam, you have followed me for seven years, and in these seven years, you have been wronged. Today has fallen to such a point, I only hate His Majesty's early death, so that the slave maid has a hard life! Your Majesty, the slave and maid miss your broken sleeves, and it will be difficult to repay them for three lives and three lives. Your Majesty, your Qingqing, is here to accompany you! ”

After speaking, he picked up the poisonous wine on the table, drank it all, and in a moment, his body collapsed.

Mrs. Dong looked at her husband and muttered to herself: "Husband, others don't understand you, but I understand you." I know how tired you are living, and I also know that you actually live every day, but you are still a child, you are only 22 years old, where are the opponents of those old foxes in the court, you are desperately arranging official positions for the Dong family and the concubine family, aren't you afraid that you can't fight them? You are arrogant and arrogant, don't you just want to prove to Your Majesty that you are a mediocre talent and will not be able to make high achievements? Others don't understand, I do! Husband, in this life, you are too tired, in the next life, don't be so beautiful, don't be a high-ranking official, you still be the handsome boy who loves to talk and laugh, and I will also be the playful piano girl, we will meet again in the peach blossom forest, okay? ”

After speaking, Mrs. Dong picked up another glass of poisonous wine and drank it all. The cup fell to the ground, holding hands, humming a ballad gently in the mouth, it was a spring, the peach blossoms were in full bloom, a handsome boy, stepping on the sha, suddenly hearing the sound of the piano, looking for the sound, seeing a beautiful woman, was stroking the piano, couldn't help but sprout feelings, tongue spit out clear words:

There is a beautiful person, clear and graceful. Encounters and encounters are suitable for me!

There is a beautiful person, as graceful as Qingyang. Encounter and meet, and the son of Zang......
