"Your Majesty, who do you think I have arrested for you?"

Li Lan walked towards Wang Mang with a smile, and behind him, two brocade-clothed guards walked in with a fat man with a wilted face.

Wang Mang looked at Li Lan a little strangely, and then his eyes fell on the fat man carried by Jinyiwei and said, "Who is this?"

"Your Majesty, you don't recognize him, he is Nangong Zhe, the envoy of the Shenmu River. Li Lan said with a smile: "Since the rebellion in the south, this old boy has disappeared, but I didn't expect that he was in this Shenmu County. Li Lan said.

Nangong Zhe said loudly at this time: "Your Majesty spares your life, Nangong Zhe knocks on Your Majesty, Long live Your Majesty, Your Majesty, the minister is wronged, the minister did not participate in the rebellion, the minister is loyal, Your Majesty Shengming, Your Majesty Mingjian!"

"Let him go!" Wang Mang said, and then Jin Yiwei immediately put Nangong Zhe down.

As soon as Nangong Zhe saw Jinyiwei let go of him, he kowtowed to the ground with a fleshy face: "Your Majesty, the minister wants to kill you, the minister thinks that he will never see you in this life, but he didn't expect the minister to invite the heavens, and there is a moment to see the face of the sky, the minister is so happy, the minister is a little incoherent, but the minister is definitely a loyal minister, the minister did not participate in the rebels' messy affairs, the minister is the most loyal minister of Daqin......"

Nangong Zhe vigorously expressed his loyalty to Wang Mang, Wang Mang just waved his hand and said: "You don't have to say that these are useless, I ask you, where have you been hiding in the past two years?"

"The minister is hiding in this Shenmu County. Nangong Zhe said: "After all, the minister is the envoy of the Shenmu River, and he can be regarded as a snake here, and the most dangerous place is the safest place, after hiding for two years, Wang Xi's thief has not found the minister." ”

"Hehe, if you really have your heart set on the imperial court, why didn't you go back to the capital and hide in this Shenmu County for what?" Wang Mang said.

"The minister is always looking forward to the moment when the imperial army arrives, the minister is going undercover in this Longtan tiger's den, collecting intelligence for the imperial court, when the imperial court overcomes the Shenmu, the minister can do a little bit for the imperial court and His Majesty. Nangong Zhedao.

"Now that I have personally led the army into the Shenmu, what have you done for the army to enter the Shenmu?" Wang Mang looked at Nangong Zhe.

Nangong Zhe opened his mouth and said with a red face: "Minister...... Your Majesty, it's not that the minister didn't do it, it's that the army came too fast, and the minister hasn't reacted yet, and the minister is really ready to be loyal to the court at any time. ”

"Nangong Zhe!" Wang Mang shouted violently.

"The minister is here. Nangong Zhe was excited, and looked at Wang Mang with some fear.

"Nangong Zhe, do you think I'm an idiot, you can fool as much as you want?" Wang Mang stared at Nangong Zhe and sneered: "Don't think I don't know anything, you're planning to bet on both sides, right?"

The minister had no such thoughts. Nangong Zhe kowtowed violently.

"Don't have this idea?" Wang Mang sneered: "You don't need to tell you about the bad things in the river yamen one by one, Wei Changhong, Wei Changyou, your Nangong Zhe doesn't seem to have anything to do with the Wei brothers, but I know that you have a relationship, and the relationship is very deep." ”

"Minister......" Nangong Zhe heard Wang Mang mention the Wei brothers, and sat down on the ground at that time.

"What, do you still want to admit it?" Wang Mang snorted and said, "The Wei family brothers have been ambushed, and the Wei family has also been copied by me, you really haven't read the letters you exchanged with the Wei family brothers?"

"Minister...... The guilty minister was confused for a while, and was bewitched by the Wei family brothers, the criminal minister really didn't know anything, it was all instructed by the two brothers to do it, Your Majesty spared your life!" Nangong Zhe's face collapsed.

"Bewitched? Confused?" Wang Mang laughed and said: "You Nangong Zhe bet on both sides, back then, the reason why Wang Xi was able to enter Shenmu County so quickly was that there was a mysterious person who gave Wang Xi a lot of help at a critical moment, this person is you, do you admit it or not." ”

"This is all done by the Wei family brothers, the guilty minister is really innocent, Your Majesty Mingjian!" Nangong Zhe shouted.

"Your Nangong Zhe has a good idea, bet on both sides, this side silently makes Wang Xi owe you a favor, if Wang Xi's rebellion succeeds, then your Nangong Zhe is a great achievement, but you Nangong Zhe is not stupid, and he doesn't dare to bet that Wang Xi will win, so he hid after helping Wang Xi, your idea is that if Wang Xi fails one day, you have not personally participated in the rebellion, and there is still a chance to save it, and if you are helping me to enter the Shenmu at that time, you will also make a great contribution, that is really a good calculation, a good idea!" Wang Mang looked at Nangong Zhe coldly.

"Your Majesty spares your life!" Nangong Zhe was stupid, Wang Mang told him exactly what he was planning, he was really scared.

"Spare your life?" Wang Mang looked at Nangong Zhe and said, "Even if I spare you, because of you, can the soldiers who defended the city of the three counties who died unjustly back then spare you?"

"Your Majesty, the sinner knows that he is wrong, the sage said, knowing that mistakes can be changed, and it is very good, Your Majesty spares your life!" Nangong Zhe cried loudly.

"The sage also said that if you don't change your teachings, there is no cure!" Wang Mang sneered and said, "Li Lan, press this person out and behead him for public display!"

"The slave obeys the order!" Li Lan kowtowed, and then waved his hand, and the two brocade guards slipped Nangong Zheti up again and walked out directly.

"Your Majesty spares your life!"

Nangong Zhe let out a terrible scream, but Wang Mang was unmoved, and soon, Nangong Zhe's voice went far away.

The eldest grandson Wuji invited Wang Mang to see him, and when he saw Wang Mang, he said: "Your Majesty, on the way where the minister just came, I saw Gonggong Li with Nangong Zhe, the envoy of the original Shenmu River, and said that he was pressed out and beheaded to show the public, the minister felt strange, this Nangong Zhe has been missing for two years, why did he suddenly come out?"

"He's fishing in troubled waters. Wang Mang smiled: "This guy is also a smart person, but it's a pity that he didn't use the right place, he wanted to take advantage of the army just entered the city, and he didn't know the situation, so he washed himself white, but he didn't know that I got some things about him from the Wei brothers, and I got some clues from Wang Jitang, and as soon as the two were combined, he was exposed, smart man, it's a pity!"

"It's also people doing it, and the sky is watching, he has done bad things and suffered retribution. The eldest grandson Wuji sighed and said: "Your Majesty, since the establishment of the General Staff Office, has not made an inch of merit, the new soldiers of the Staff Office have some ideas, yesterday Wang Dun and Gao Shi took a few scholars to find the minister, saying that it is better to read ten thousand books than to travel thousands of miles, and want to go to the front line to participate in the battle in person, the minister feels that what they said is very reasonable, please show your majesty." ”

"The edge of the sword is sharpened, the fragrance of plum blossoms comes from the bitter cold, how can you see the rainbow without experiencing wind and rain, and you can't raise the proud cold plum in the greenhouse. Wang Mang nodded and said, "It's a good thing that they have this kind of thought, and I agreed." ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty. The eldest grandson Wuji said: "But Your Majesty, where should I send them?"

"Nature is to go to the hardest places. Wang Mang smiled.

The eldest grandson Wuji was stunned for a moment, whether his heart was a little too ruthless, but then he was relieved, and it was time for those scholars to sharpen their hearts.
