Chapter 21: Killing
I don't know what the reason is, there hasn't been a drop of rain for two whole months, although it has just entered June, Chang'an has become unusually hot and dry. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
Taixue has been on vacation for five consecutive days, the reason is for the health of the students, and Wang Xu knows that this is not the case.
The Son of Heaven has not shown up for ten days, and the latest news of the Son of Heaven known to the civil and military officials is an edict five days ago, appointing Empress Fu's brother Fu Wen as the captain of the guard, and commanding the guards to guard the palace ban.
Originally, except for a few people such as Kong Guang and Peng Xuan, it was difficult for other officials to see the Son of Heaven since Dong Xian was appointed as the Great Sima, and everything about the Son of Heaven was basically conveyed through Dong Xian.
However, during this period of time, the evil sect was that the Son of Heaven suddenly avoided even Kong Guang and Peng Xuan.
Like the emperors of later generations, the residents of Chang'an were very sensitive to the movements of the court, so the topics that the people on the streets discussed the most during this time naturally all revolved around the Son of Heaven.
"The Son of Heaven now has a new favorite, so he doesn't show up because he sings every night."
"Who said that, now except for Da Sima, who can get close to the Son of Heaven, the Son of Heaven is seeing continuous drought, fasting and praying for rain!"
"Kouhu, the Son of Heaven praying for rain is a big deal, I think the Son of Heaven is busy making children, I don't see that the Son of Heaven has no children now."
"Is it possible, the Son of Heaven is tired, and he will reach three watches every night, and even the iron man can't bear it."
In fact, not only the ordinary people of Chang'an, but also the officials are also talking about it.
Because Wang Shu had said before that the Son of Heaven might die soon, Wang Mang was also very concerned about the current state of the Son of Heaven, and accompanied by Wang Xing, he took Liao Wenfei, Ling Bai and others to the Jianzhang Palace where the Empress Dowager lived every day to take a turn, and by the way, to listen to the news.
But three days passed, and still nothing. Originally, Wang Mang liked to listen to Wang Shu's opinion very much after encountering something, but I don't know why, no matter what he was doing during this time, meeting was a scolding, and Wang Shu was very inexplicable.
It wasn't until Liao Wenfei heard a little wind from outside that he knew what was going on.
"There is a genius in the Xindu Hou family, and the eight filial piety pictures, three-character songs, and thousand-character essays are all made by this kid."
"Yes, I heard that there are not only these, but also the most popular novel "Journey to the West" I heard that he also wrote it."
"That's it, if it weren't for the fact that the old Wang family had a royal gain, the new marquis would probably still be counting ants in the fief."
"Who said no, I heard that the "Disciple Rules" was actually made by Wang Shu, but it was just the name of the Marquis of Xindu."
"That's it, you said that this new capital marquis is still shameless, and even his son's things have to be robbed."
"How do you know, if it weren't for the "Disciple Rules", how could the Son of Heaven summon the new capital Marquis back to Beijing."
"I've heard about it, and it's said ......"
After Liao Wenfei told Wang Shu about the rumors, Wang Shu was a little confused at that time.
Although the matter is not bad, it seems that someone is behind the ghost, and while killing himself, he also has the sinister intention of separating the relationship with his father.
Fortunately, the focus of the current hot discussion on the street is the Son of Heaven, otherwise it may not be what will happen.
Listening to Liao Wenfei, my father quietly asked Wang Xing to go out to find out who said these words, but it was vaguely found out that it was related to the Xindu Hou Mansion, and then the clue was broken.
No wonder my dad has picked his nose and eyes in recent days, the crux of the reason is this.
Touching his nose with his hand, Wang Shu thought to himself, in fact, except for Wang Guang, who has an enmity with him and knows his own details, is Shangguan Yufeng, so this matter is self-explanatory.
Although Dad is not stupid, he can guess that these words cannot be passed on by himself after a long time, but it is better to find an opportunity to say it.
Just in time for my dad to find something to find himself and his eldest brother, this is an opportunity.
"You are not young anymore, even if you arrive in Chang'an, you can't be blind to the affairs of the court."
Wang Mang didn't talk nonsense, and after seeing the two brothers, he directly opened the skylight and said something.
"Father said that the Son of Heaven did not see the courtiers?" Big brother Wang Yu asked.
"Yes, what do you think, eldest grandson?"
This question is too open, so the eldest brother Wang Yu doesn't know how to answer for a while, and can only say that the Son of Heaven should have a problem.
"Zhongsun, tell me about it!" After listening to the eldest brother's words, the father didn't say anything, turned his head and asked Wang Shu.
"My son thinks that at present, we don't need to guess what the Son of Heaven is, as long as we do our own thing, let the people around the Empress Dowager use more snacks, and recommend Brother Liao and other trustworthy people to stay in Changle Palace, and when the time comes, even if it is southeast and northwest, it will not blow our new capital Hou Mansion."
Hearing Wang Shu say this, Wang Mang stroked his beard and nodded, smiling, and motioned for him to continue.
"Whether the Son of Heaven is sick or not, in the end, he can't get around the Queen Mother, her old man is the Dinghai Divine Needle of our Han, which is also the advantage of our Wang family."
"Although we don't know anything about the news of Weiyang Palace at present, Wei Wei is the elder brother of Empress Fu, it seems that this is our disadvantage, but if something really happens, as long as the Empress Dowager moves Weiyang, who really dares to stop it?"
"As for those that are not conducive to our Xindu Hou Mansion, there are also some, such as Kong Guang and Peng Xuan's attitude towards our Wang family is still unclear, and whether the Empress Dowager will use Hongyang Hou, but I believe these fathers have already prepared, right?"
"Is this the conclusion that you came to by that analysis?" Daddy Wang Mang asked after listening.
"Yes, even if it seems to be a complicated situation, if you analyze it in this way, you will naturally be able to draw corresponding conclusions. For example, the rumors about his son some time ago, if you use appropriate methods, you can analyze who did it. ”
"Oh, you say come and hear it!"
"Then let's think about it, what is the purpose of this person's rumors, and it can be seen that his purpose is nothing more than to kill me, and at the same time to separate the feelings of our father and son, coupled with the malicious attack on my father."
In fact, Wang Mang has also analyzed this matter, so when he heard Wang Shu say this, he didn't feel anything new.
"First of all, this rumor-maker should be familiar with our Xindu Hou Mansion, otherwise the people will not be able to argue whether the rumors are true or false, and secondly, this person should have an enmity against me or you."
"And the things that this person said all happened when our whole family was in Xindu, at least Wei Wang Paper is also related to his son, but it is not mentioned in the rumors. It shows that this person is at least after his father left the new capital, and he is no longer in the new capital. ”
"Alright, you don't have to say any more, let's stop here!" Hearing Wang Shu say this, Wang Mang stopped and didn't let him go any further.
"By the way, I have found an errand for Ling Bai and Liao Wenfei for my father, let them work under the generals of Changle Household first, and then take office tomorrow, you have no opinion."
Sure enough, it was the old Jianghu, Wang Shu was complacent about his analysis at the beginning, but his father beat himself back to his original shape with a word.
