Three years of residence, October, Chang'an.

It has been three years since Liu Ying was made the crown prince. In the past three years, he has not gone any further, ascending the throne as emperor.

After all, even now, he was only five years old.

The real control of the government is Wang Zhengjun, the empress dowager of the dynasty, and Wang Mang, who is the emperor and the fake emperor on behalf of the Son of Heaven.

However, even though he was only one step away from the emperor, Wang Mang never lived in the palace, but still lived in Chang'an City, in his own mansion.

It's just that the sign hanging on the mansion has been changed from the Taishi to the regent.

During these three years, there were not without the emergence of rebels.

In the first year of Ju Se, Liu Chong, the Marquis of Anzhong, raised troops in Nanyang, but he only gathered a few hundred people, and he was defeated before he even broke through the city gate.

In the second year of his residence, Dongjun Taishou Zhai raised troops and supported Liu Xin, the Marquis of Yanxiang, as the emperor. Zhao Ming, Huo Hong and others raised troops and once occupied 23 counties west of Chang'an.

However, these people were easily extinguished, and even the longest one did not last for more than two months.

It was Wang Mang's command that put out these resistances, two of the most outstanding generals in the Wang clan, Wang Yi and Wang Xun.

Now, in Wang Mang's mansion, there is a small banquet. There were these two people sitting on the seat.

Wang Yi was Chinese New Year's Eve and eighteen years old, with a thick body, like a bear and a tiger, but his face was quite delicate and white, and he didn't even have a beard under his chin. He is Wang Mang's younger brother and Wang Mu's father.

Wang Xun is also Wang Mang's younger brother, forty years old, black, thin and short, and silent. Sitting in front of the table, he didn't move a trace of chopsticks for a long time.

There were only four people in the hall, except for Wang Yi and Wang Xun, Wang Mang and Wang Mu who were sitting beside him. After the food and wine were ready, even the servants were ordered out of the hall.

"Do you know that the day before yesterday, my aunt summoned me to the palace and urged me to arrange for my children to ascend the throne as soon as possible?"

Wang Mang put down his wine glass, glanced at the two people in front of him, and said slowly.

Wang Xun was silent, Wang Yi sighed and opened his mouth, but he still didn't say a word.

But Wang Mang ignored their lack of response, paused, and continued: "What do you think, what does aunt mean? ”

"The country cannot stand without a king, and the Queen Mother is ...... After all, I still hope that this big man can have a monarch in the legal system. If only the elder brother is regent, it will still be unjustifiable after all...... Although these ideas are a little pedantic, ......" Seeing that Wang Xun never said a word, Wang Yi couldn't help but speak.

"But after all, that's our aunt, the current empress dowager, the controller of our royal family in the inner court, and the most noble person in the world, right?" Wang Mang smiled: "She is the inside, I am the outside, only the sincere cooperation between the two sides can ensure the honor of our Wang family, the glory and wealth for a long time, and firmly occupy the position of the first relative of the Han Dynasty, right?" ”

"This ......"

Although there was no clear answer, Wang Yi's expression had already given a positive answer.

"Relatives...... Hmph, ...... relatives" Wang Mang muttered these two words softly, his eyes looked into the distance, losing focus, but a trace of disgust appeared on his face.

"Brother?" Wang Yi couldn't help but call Wang Mang softly.

Wang Mang retracted his gaze and looked at Wang Yi and Wang Xun: "Have you ever thought that if one day, I really part ways with my aunt, you ...... How to deal with yourself? ”

"This ...... That's impossible! ”

Wang Yi's body shook, and he almost knocked over the wine and food on the table in front of him, with a shocked expression: "Brother, don't laugh!" This...... How is this possible! How could it be ......"

He didn't know what to say, so he could only repeat it.

"How could it be?" Wang Mang shook his head slightly: "And I guess...... My aunt already had this thought in her heart. ”

"Brother, why are you worried?" Finally, Wang Xun, who was silent for a while, spoke.

"Worried?" Wang Mang sighed: "So, to this day, you still don't believe it, thinking that this is just my unfounded speculation?" ”

"No, I'm just worried about whether there will be some misunderstanding in the middle. If my aunt and brother can have a long talk......" Wang Xunzi thought about it carefully before he slowly spoke.

"You ...... After all, I still have illusions......" Wang Mang shook his head, turned his back to the sky and closed his eyes.

"That's it, then...... Let's see for yourselves. ”

Wang Yi and Wang Xun looked at each other, not knowing what to say.
