Chapter 9 The Star-Making Movement Against Wang Mang

Just as Wang was pondering how to get Wang Mang back to the capital, the news that the original case had been solved reached his ears. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info turned out to be Wang Shu in the Shangsi Festival, that is, today's March 3, the Han Dynasty's Valentine's Day, in the swaying spring to meet Miss Li, immediately shocked, immediately stepped forward to talk, but King Xiang intentional, the goddess unintentional, but in the following year, Wang Shu was still like a green-headed fly staring at stinky meat, every day around Miss Li turned away.

But what Wang Shu didn't know was that Miss Li and Wang Guang had an adulterous affair for a long time, but Wang Guang was already married, but the Li family was also wealthy, and it was impossible for his daughter to be a concubine, so these two people could only secretly engage in underground activities. It wasn't until Wang was unable to pursue Miss Li that he begged the Queen Mother to go to Li's house to ask for marriage, which forced Wang Guang to take this risky move.

Wang Guang first took advantage of the lack of a wooden stick to kill the queen mother's maidservant Yuan Fei, and then knocked Wang Shou unconscious, and stabbed Yuan Fei in the stomach with Wang Shou's saber, creating the illusion that Wang Shouqiang* failed to rape his mother and maid, and killed her in anger and shame. As for why he attacked Yuan Fei, the main reason was that Wang Guang saw that Wang Mang had a short temper recently, and Wang Mang seemed to have a good impression of Yuan Fei, so he chose to make Yuan Fei an unlucky ghost.

When Wang Guang heard that Wang Mang saw Yuan Fei die in Wang Huo's room, although he was very angry, he did not send Wang Huo on the spot, but ordered someone to lock him in the firewood room, so he sent people near Li's house to spread the news of Wang Huo's attempt to rape and kill his mother, what Wang Guang did not expect was that although the Li family immediately came to the door to repent after hearing about Wang Shu's scandal, Wang Mang was furious, but Wang Mang still had to wait for Kong Xiu to come to investigate, and did not immediately dispose of Wang Shu. So Wang Guang simply didn't sit still, and bought a new slave and maid who had entered the palace with a lot of money, asked him to take a hemp rope to Wang Shu, and falsely spread Wang Mang's words, so that Wang Shu hanged himself.

After dark, Wang Guang personally went to the firewood room to see if Wang was dead. But what Wang Guang didn't expect was that not only did Wang Shu not die, but also burned the firewood room by drilling wood for fire. Fortunately, Wang Guang has always been cautious, he was dumb when he asked outside the firewood room, when Wang Guang saw the firewood room fire, although he knew that things could not be done for the time being, but with his ingenuity, the whole thing had been planned seamlessly, so he quietly sneaked back to his house. To Wang Guang's surprise, after Wang Shu woke up, he actually proved his innocence by killing pigs, and identified the messenger slave who had not had time to escape on the spot, which led to his imprisonment.

In fact, on the day Wang Guang was arrested, he had already confessed the whole story. It's just that Wang Mang was afraid that the old lady wouldn't be able to stand the stimulation, so he forbade people in the house to talk about it. However, as Kong Xiu has decided the case in recent days, it was decided that Wang Guang killed the slave and maid without permission, and he needed to use gold (1) two catties and eight taels to redeem him (2), Wang Mang had already paid the ransom for Wang Guang, so he told the old lady. Since Wang Guang can't die, the old lady is naturally happy, and as the old lady punishes Wang Guang for studying behind closed doors, the matter will naturally turn the page.

Although Wang Mang recorded in the history books once decisively forced his son to death in order not to affect his glorious image, in the eyes of the reborn Wang Shu, this is just the result of Wang Mang's misjudgment in history and Wang Guang's framing behind his back. But in any case, since Wang Shu did not die, and Wang Mang redeemed Wang Guang for two catties and eight taels of gold, then Wang Mang's glorious image lacks the item of righteous annihilation, and naturally there will be no matter of the ministers writing to the emperor for Wang Mang's benevolence, righteousness and morality, so now it is Wang Shu's turn to be distressed. However, when Dr. Gao, who had diagnosed him, came to ask for words, Wang Shu saw hope.

Speaking of which, who benefited from the rebirth of the king, it is impossible not to mention the two slaves Cang San and Cang Ba. Don't look at these two slaves and maids usually behave very honestly, but when Wang Shu was chased and intercepted by the paparazzi from the Han Dynasty, these two slaves and maids were out of the limelight. Don't look at them following Wang Shu every day, but they can be hooked up and off duty by the sister-in-law who buys vegetables and become the most incompetent personal bodyguards; When Wang Shu was overwhelmed and closed his door, the two slaves and maids became Wang Shu's spokesmen, going out in shifts several times a day for a handful of melon seeds or a handful of fried soybeans, introducing Wang Huo's latest "developments" to the onlookers. When others questioned it, they actually put on a posture of whether you believe it or not, I believe it anyway, which is not as good as the two maids of Chunxing and Chuxia.

But if you want to say that you have benefited the most, you have to say this tall doctor. Since he was praised by Wang Mang's second son, Wang Shu, who was praised by him for his diagnosis and treatment of "successful rejuvenation with wonderful hands", his patients have been in an endless stream since then. It turned out that Dr. Gao's consultation fee was only 30 yuan, but now it has risen to 500 yuan, so he has to limit 30 people a day, and he doesn't look at any more, which is simply the same treatment as some well-known experts in the hospital in later generations.

Doctor Gao came to the door this time, naturally he wanted to ask Wang to praise his words, such as the holy hand in medicine, the rejuvenation of the wonderful hand and other autographed inscriptions, as for why he did this, Doctor Gao swore that it was naturally to be treasured for generations. Wang Shu naturally didn't believe this, so he flatly refused, but he didn't expect to be blamed by his grandmother and mother. In desperation, Wang Shu could only ask his eldest brother Wang Yu to write the matter, not that Wang Shu regarded himself as high, but after a few days of assault training, although the Han Dynasty ghost-drawn small seal and official script were barely recognized, but to write it in person, it was difficult for him to go to the sky. As for why he didn't let the third brother Wang An help, it was because the third brother's words were really ugly, and for him who had no level of appreciation, he belonged to the kind of level that he couldn't handle.

Wang Shu thought about how to become famous in the Han Dynasty as quickly as possible, and then he found that whether it was with his knowledge and insights from the 21st century, or with the current identity and status of Wang Mang, it was extremely difficult for Wang Mang's good reputation to spread to the capital thousands of miles away in a short period of time.

No, things will definitely take a turn for the better, Wang Shu secretly cheered himself up in his heart. Think about Wang Mang, the history books say that he is humble and thrifty, a corporal of courtesy, a mother and a widowed sister-in-law, an orphaned brother and son, a father in internal affairs, and a courteous manner, and as a result, he can gain a good reputation in a short time, how did he do it. Thinking of this, Wang Shu suddenly thought that the ancients, especially the Han Dynasty, respected the rule of the world with filial piety, so as long as they find a way to package Wang Mang as the first filial son throughout the ages, then they don't worry that his reputation will not be known by those officials in Chang'an.

Thinking of this, Wang Shu had a plan. At this moment, he saw Wang An, who was crying, and only after asking did he know that it was just a trivial matter that made this timid third brother scolded by Wang Mang again. Thinking that the third brother in history also died prematurely because of the early death of his two elder brothers, Wang Shu couldn't help but feel a pain in his heart. Originally, he wanted to ask the eldest brother for help, but when he looked at it this time, he decided to let the third brother do it, so he said to the third brother: "Don't cry, come and do my brother a favor, if this thing is done, keep Ah Weng and stop scolding you." When Wang An heard Wang Shu say this, he naturally didn't believe it, but when he saw his second brother patting his chest and making a guarantee, he did what Wang Shu told him to do.

Within a few days, there was an explosive news in the new capital, when Wang Mang was entertaining guests, Wang Mang's second son Wang Shu and third son Wang An jointly presented a picture of eight filial pieties. The eight filial piety pictures not only depict the filial piety of Yu Shun, Lao Laizi, Tanzi, Zhong You, Zeng Shen, Min Loss, Emperor Wen of Han and Wang Mang, but also the poems dictated by Wang Shu and handwritten by Wang An.

Although most of the stories in the Eight Filial Piety Pictures are from Liu Xiang's "The Biography of Filial Sons", it is surprising that a teenager with amnesia and a teenager can edit the stories of these filial sons into poems. Not to mention the old things of the previous dynasty such as filial piety moving the sky, playing color and entertaining relatives, and deer milk and serving relatives, just looking at the inscriptions and poems describing Wang Mang's filial piety, it was shocking at that time. As soon as the eight filial pieties were offered, Wang Mang excitedly pointed to Wang Shu and Wang An and said to the guests: "Our Wang family has these two sons, and the old man died without regrets." ”

In the following days, the entire Xindu City was reciting Wang Shu's eight filial piety poems, and soon heard that Nanyang Taishou had sent someone to pass on the eight filial piety pictures to the Jingshi. Wang Shu saw that his goal had finally been achieved, and he was secretly relieved in his heart. In fact, Wang Shu took a trick here, but he pressed the story of the Eastern Han Dynasty Huangxiang fan pillow Wen Shu in the twenty-four filial piety pictures to Wang Mang's head, and only changed the last sentence in the accompanying poem, "The winter moon is warm, and the hot day fan pillow is cold." Children know their children's jobs, and they know that the ancient yellow fragrance is changed to "the winter moon is warm and warm, and the fan pillow is cool on a hot day." Children know their children's jobs, and the Han is a king".

Speaking of eight filial piety pictures, Wang Shu also has to thank the future generations for the enthusiasm of national learning. When he was still in college, in order to work and study, he worked part-time as an extracurricular tutor for Chinese studies in two primary schools. Just when Wang Shu sighed in his heart, he saw the third brother Wang An, with a small face, followed by the fourth brother Wang Lin, who looked arrogant. Only then did Wang Shu realize that he had quietly changed the world.

(1) Gold: Gold and copper coins are the mainstream currencies of the Western Han Dynasty, but copper is not.

(2) Redemption: Paying money and goods to exempt the death penalty began, starting from the time of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.
