Chapter 27: Anxious or Unhurried

"Minister, the old body intends for you to serve as the Great Sima, I don't know what you think?"

Before the promotion of Da Sima, the Empress Dowager recruited Wang Mang into the palace and asked him what he thought. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

"The position of the Great Sima must be a person with both ability and political integrity, and the nephew is only shallow in learning, and the Empress Dowager should choose another talent." Wang Mang is really Wang Mang, and his performance is not revealed.

"Your baby is a coward, you shouldn't be anyone."

The old lady didn't care about Wang Shu's presence, she didn't save any face for Wang Mang, and hurriedly said her hometown dialect.

In fact, anyone with a discerning eye can see that all the people in the court who have the qualifications to serve as the big Sima are grass on the wall, and once they serve as the big Sima, it is estimated that they will not even be able to stabilize the morale of the army, so that the Han regime may be subverted.

What's more, the old lady who has undergone many changes in imperial power and has been deeply affected by Empress Dowager Fu's flying and domineering has long understood that no matter who the Son of Heaven ends up with, only by holding the military power firmly in her own hands can she live a little more Ontario.

Therefore, the position of Da Sima must be in the hands of the Wang family, which has become her final bottom line.

Originally, the old lady intended to let her younger brother Wang Lilai be the big Sima, not because the two sisters were closer, but because Wang Mang's performance was really bad during his tenure as the big Sima.

After Liu Xin succeeded to the throne, the Fu and Ding families had already been at odds with the Wang family, and at this time, Wang Mang, who had the most voice in the court, not only did not know how to keep a low profile, but also stood up with the Empress Dowager Fu because of a trivial matter, and he was simply stunned.

However, after breaking into the palace, only Wang Mang and Wang Shu were by his side in the Wang family, so he was temporarily put in charge of it in desperation.

Although the old lady had hinted at Wang Li that the position of Da Sima belonged to him, when she saw Wang Mang's scenery, she would pose a threat to herself, so she and her nephew Wang Guang spread rumors behind her back, saying that Wang Mang held a sword and forced Dong Xian to take out the jade seal of the country.

I don't know if Wang Li's head was kicked by a donkey or if he took the wrong medicine, if someone linked Wang Mang's sword into the Son of Heaven's dormitory and the death of the Son of Heaven, then it would become a yellow mud and drop the crotch of his pants, not but also, and the Queen Mother who was present at the time would also take it with her.

At this time, Wang Li didn't know that it was obvious that the Empress Dowager had already set it in her heart, but because of his own stinky move, the position of the big Sima flew away from his bowl.

Wang Mang himself also knew that the old lady didn't like him, and his uncle Wang Li didn't have many other problems besides being greedy for money, so he thought that it would be good for him to squeeze out Peng Xuan and replace him with a son, and become a big boss.

Therefore, when he found out that Wang Li was also a capable member of the rumor-mongering army, he did not immediately enter the palace to report to the empress dowager, but he couldn't stop Wang from saying it quickly.

"In that case, my nephew dares not to worry about it!"

Now that the Empress Dowager has already expressed her position, Wang Mang will not give in.

Now that the leader has set the tone, the next step is the briefing. As a result, the Empress Dowager began to summon Sun Guang, Peng Xuan and other Han executives, and Wang Mang also frequently drank tea and talked with middle-level cadres with the right to ply.

Who knew that after Wang Li learned that the position of Da Sima was far away from him, he made a stupid move again, but this time he did not spread rumors, but found He Wu and Gongsun Lu as spokespersons.

What Wang Li didn't expect was that He Wu and Gongsun Lu had their own abacus.

So a funny scene appeared, He Wu recommended Gongsun Lu to be the big Sima, and Gongsun Lu recommended He Wu to be the big Sima.

Their reason is that in the past, when Emperor Hui and Emperor Zhao were young in power, their relatives Lu, Huo, and Shangguan were autocratic, which led to the decline of imperial power. Now that Emperor Cheng and Emperor Wai have no heirs for two generations in succession, the position of Da Sima should not allow relatives to sit, but should choose someone close to the emperor to assist the young master.

One of them is a general Zuo and the other is a former general, and they think that they are both senior members of the army and can best represent the voice of the army.

However, what the two mountain guns didn't expect was that the empress dowager seized the phrase "close to people" and asked them in public, as a leading minister, why did they dare to have a personal relationship with the princes.

So, the princes and kings declared one after another that they were passers-by at all, and this time He Wu and Gongsun Lu, who wanted to brush their faces in front of the new emperor who were about to ascend the throne, completely lost face, and the two of them were also dismissed and refrigerated.

The two votes were invalid, and the rest unanimously elected the new marquis, and finally Wang Mang became the new Grand Sima of the Han Dynasty.

This time, the three dukes are complete, and the public trial of Dong Xian, Fu Wen and others, the establishment of the new emperor and the title of the first emperor Liu Xin should be put on the agenda.

However, no one seems to be in a hurry to choose a new emperor.

The result of choosing Liu Xin last time was a failure, so the Empress Dowager decided this time that she must keep her eyes open and not be too anxious.

Last time, Liu Xintianzi Wang Mang had no right to speak at all, and as a result, an 18-year-old adult emperor kicked back the feudal kingdom, so Wang Mang wanted to choose a young and obedient one among those descendants of Liu Bang this time, of course, he would not be in a hurry.

The palace maids and eunuchs in Weiyang Palace are anxious, everyone wants to know in advance who the new emperor is and what his preferences are, so that they can prepare for sycophants in advance, instead of crying every day and mourning for Liu Xin lying in the coffin.

The people of Chang'an are very anxious, they are looking forward to the new son of heaven from the day he died, there is no way, Liu Xin does not enter the mausoleum, and the people's weddings and marriages must be stopped.

The princes and kings are actually more anxious, Liu Xin is dead, and anyone has a chance to be the emperor, but everyone understands the truth that the rafters rot first, so they have to show that they are not in a hurry at all.

As for the matter of giving the name, it was after the new emperor ascended the throne, and it is estimated that in addition to Queen Fu in the harem, only Liu Xin himself who was lying in the coffin was in a hurry.

Therefore, the public trial of Dong Xian and Fu Wen has become a major event in the Han Dynasty today.

Then, Wang Shu became very anxious, and he was not in a hurry for no reason, because he proposed the public trial, so how to judge the law, naturally he had to say one or two.

Of course, Wang Mang just said that he wanted to refer to it, and the Empress Dowager only wanted to see the "leather monkey's joke", but everyone knew very well that if Wang Shu's charter was very reasonable, then he would follow it.

In later generations, except for seeing the clips of the trial on TV, Wang Shu can be said to know nothing about the doorways in the courtroom.

had to open his mind, and the public trial personnel and processes of the Han Dynasty sorted out by Wang Shu were freshly released.

Presiding judges: Da Sima Wang Mang, Da Situ Kong Guang, Da Sikong Peng Xuan

Public Prosecutor: Tingwei Liang Zuo

Parties: Dong Xian, Fu Wen

Defender: Chen Yu, a student of Tai

Let Chen Yu serve as the defender, on the one hand, out of Wang Shu's bad taste, and more importantly, he is afraid that Tingwei Liang Zuo will not give his strength, and if the scene gets out of control at that time, Chen Yu will directly admit guilt on behalf of the party.

As for the process, it is even simpler, except for the public prosecutor to put forward the reasons for the prosecution, and the defender to defend on behalf of the parties, present evidence, and cross-examine evidence, it is the three public judgments.

Unexpectedly, after the Empress Dowager and Wang Mang saw the list and process, they all approved it.
