Wang Shu wanted to take a few quick steps to find his father as soon as possible, but when he saw that everyone in the house was lying and was at a loss, he slowed down, and when Wang Shu came to the study, Wang Mang was in a hurry, and when he saw Wang Shu, Wang Mang grabbed his arm and said, "Zhongsun, is the envoy of Chang'an really here to arrest his father?" Wang Yu couldn't imagine that his father would have such a nervous time, not only secretly sighed, but this is still an era when the monarch has to die, and the royal power is above all else. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info But this is not the time to think about these carefully. So he said to Wang Mang: "No, my son thinks that the arrival of the envoy of Chang'an at this time cannot be to arrest his father and enter Beijing. Have you ever slandered the Son of Heaven in front of outsiders? Have you ever disobeyed your elders? ”

Hearing what Wang Shu said, Wang Mang calmed down at that time: "Yes, Zhongsun You, you have never done anything for your father, but the power of heaven is unpredictable, otherwise Xingchu would not have stopped the envoy of Chang'an, and let people spread the word, let the father quickly take medicine." When Wang Yu heard that it was Wang Guang again, he said to his father: "Father, think about it carefully, if you really arrest you, it is impossible to send seven or eight soldiers, how can your son return home?" Hearing his son say that there were only seven or eight soldiers outside, Wang Mang also felt that things did not match what Wang Guang said, so he still came to the front hall to prepare to receive the order.

When I arrived in the front hall, I saw Wang Guang talking with the envoy of Chang'an, and the sound of talking and laughing came from afar, and as for the obstruction that Wang Guang said before, there was no taste at all. Wang Mang was naturally angry when he saw it, but it was not easy to say anything in the face of the envoy of Chang'an, at this time Wang Mang was too lazy to say hello, so he arranged for the slave maid to prepare the table and then knelt down to receive the decree, the messenger saw this and opened the holy decree and read: "On the Xinhai day of the month of Bingyin in the year of the year, the Son of Heaven made an edict to the new capital marquis: the filial piety of the ancient times is no higher than Yu Shun, and the filial piety of today is no higher than Emperor Wen." There is a cloud in the Analects: If a disciple enters, he is filial, and when he goes out, he is a younger brother. My Han Dynasty has always governed the country with filial piety, and now the second son of the Marquis of the new capital was made eight filial piety maps, the Empress Dowager was happy to hear it, and the Manchu Dynasty congratulated the civil and military forces, and specially sealed the three hundred households of the Marquis of the new capital, and the king was given the title of five doctors. Announce to the world, and make the salty envoy known. ”

As soon as he heard the envoy announce the holy decree, Wang Shu had a question: since the eight filial piety plans have been transmitted to Chang'an, why hasn't the emperor summoned his father back to Beijing, and he has also been knighted. However, it is estimated that my father understands these things better than himself, so he pressed his mind and thanked Wang Mang and others without mentioning them. When the envoy and Wang Mang greeted him, Wang Shu learned that the envoy's surname was Wei, and the official position he now held in the court was Shizhong. However, compared with Wang Mang's enthusiasm, the performance of this waiter can be described as neither humble nor arrogant, seeing this scene, Wang Xu knew that this person and his father were definitely not all the way.

When the messenger was sent away, Wang Mang came to Wang Guang and asked him, only to know that when Wang Guang met this waiter at the door, this person behaved yin and yang to the porter and him, and vaguely heard him order the soldiers to be imprisoned, so Wang Guangcai thought that he was here to arrest Wang Mang, so he quickly asked people to pass a message to Wang Mang. Who knew that when Wang Guang accompanied him to the front hall, after not seeing Wang Mang come out for a long time, this Wei servant showed extraordinary enthusiasm for Wang Guang, so Wang Guang said that he didn't know what this person meant, so he could only be careful as much as possible. Wang Shu listened to Wang Guang's words, although he seemed to have nothing wrong, but he also knew that in the future, not only himself, but even his father would be as far away from Wang Guang as possible.

Just when Wang Shu and Wang Mang asked Wang Guang about the reason, Wang Yu, who was out to visit friends, rushed in, probably also heard that a messenger came from Chang'an, for fear that something would happen at home, but when he saw his father and younger brother as if nothing happened, Wang Yu sat down and drank two cups of tea before relieving his breath. Seeing that Wang Yu was back, Wang Guang said a few words to Wang Mang and left. Taking advantage of the fact that the eldest brother happened to be there, Wang Shu told the doubts in his heart to see if his father could understand it.

Hearing Wang Shu's question, Wang Mang sighed: "Presumably, some colleagues in the court have written to complain about the old man's unjustified affairs, but when today's son favors the Ding, Fu and Dong Xian, he has always been wary of my Wang family, especially when Zhongsun's eight filial piety pictures were transmitted to the Beijing Division, in order to block the world's mouths, but also to deal with the empress dowager, he had to say something, so he had to say something, so he had to add food to the old man and give you a knight, Zhongsun had seen that Wei Shizhong, this person first deliberately behaved in front of the door, Later, he talked and laughed with Xingchu, and after the decree was announced, he didn't even drink tea, and this person had never seen him before his father, so it was estimated that the father sent him to announce the decree was specially arranged by the Son of Heaven. ”

When Wang Shu heard Wang Mang's analysis, he suddenly felt enlightened, but the matter had already involved Wang Guang, so it was better to ask clearly: "Father, is what Brother Xingchu said true?" Wang Mang glanced at Wang Shu and said to him: "I know what you mean, you saw that Xingchu Duochu wanted to do bad things to you, and thought that he would also deliberately harm his father, but it was impossible to think about it, because if something happened to his father, he would also be implicated." Before, you still see that he is your uncle's only child, and things don't go as he wants, so don't take it too seriously. ”

When Wang Shu saw his father say this, he could only bow his head and say yes, but what he was thinking in his heart, only the ghost knew. However, the matter of the holy decree should have reminded my father, and my father wanted to start with the queen mother's piece, so he let himself get a rocking chair, and offered the method of making ice upside down, but the implicit meaning of the holy decree is already very clear, no matter how many things you get, it's a big deal to say "the queen mother's heart" and send it to you.

However, the matter of the envoy of Chang'an also reminded Wang Yu that although his arrival has affected Wang Mang's future, but his hard work has not been in vain, then he has to work harder, do something in the short term, arch his father's reputation again, and strive to force the emperor to transfer his father to the capital before the end of the year.

However, before his father went to Chang'an, he said that he had to treat his illness, otherwise it would never be a problem, especially the place where he held his arm just now still hurts, which shows that his father is getting more and more excited now.
