The yamen represented by the ministers present basically got some silver, although Wang Yongji and the others felt that the silver was a little small, but the total amount of silver was so much, they could only nod and agree, and then they went back to deal with other things brought about by Fang Xizhi's death.

Lin Guodong and the eldest grandson Wuji stayed, just because they both had something to report to the emperor separately.

Lin Guodong spoke first: "Your Majesty, the minister went to Shangyuan Palace yesterday, and Shangyuan Palace has already allowed the minister's people to visit the Taiping Temple, how does Your Majesty think the minister should visit, and to what extent should this investigation be investigated?"

The eldest grandson Wuji knew about the female corpse case near Taipingguan, but it was the first time he heard that this matter involved Shangyuan Palace.

In this year, the death of a person is not a big deal, but if the person who died may be involved in the palace, it is a big deal.

The eldest grandson Wuji regretted a little, feeling that he shouldn't have stood here so rashly and listened to Lin Guodong's report, but after thinking about it, the emperor even acquiesced to this kind of thing, which may not be a kind of trust in himself.

And Wang Mang groaned, according to Wang Mang's thoughts, Shangyuan Palace should be directly silent this time, non-violent and non-cooperative, but he didn't expect Shangyuan Palace to directly agree to Lin Guodong's request, which was unexpected by Wang Mang, could it be that this matter has nothing to do with Shangyuan Palace?

In addition, there is no need for Lin Guodong to report this kind of thing to himself in every detail, at this moment, Lin Guodong's actions are in Wang Mang's opinion, there are two main reasons, one is to show his loyalty to the emperor, and the other is probably not without suspicion of shirking responsibility.

"Did the Queen Mother tell you in person that she agreed to check the Taiping Temple?" asked Wang Mang.

"Weichen didn't see the Queen Mother. Lin Guodong shook his head and said, "It's the Queen Mother's message passed on by Li Yueru, the palace maid next to the Queen Mother." ”

"In that case, then you should go to the Taiping Temple to visit. Wang Mang raised his eyebrows, and said: "Shangyuan Palace has already acquiesced to this matter, you just have to let go of your hands and feet to investigate, but what should be investigated, what should not be investigated, and what it will be, you can grasp it yourself, but remember one thing, this matter should not be publicized." ”

Wechen understood. Lin Guodong kowtowed, his face thoughtful, and then he didn't wait for the eldest grandson Wuji to speak, and then retreated, he was not as stupid as the eldest grandson Wuji, he didn't know what to listen to and what not to hear.

The eldest grandson Wuji saw Lin Guodong retreat directly, and said in his heart at that time, he is worthy of being a person who can do Jing Zhaoyin, and he is really a cunning person!

Wang Mang looked at the eldest grandson Wuji, and without waiting for him to speak, he directly chuckled and said, "What's the matter, it didn't work?"

The eldest grandson Wuji opened his mouth and kowtowed: "Your Majesty Shengming, Weichen failed to help Your Majesty do things well, the senior brother of the minister is arrogant, and the minister's face is not enough." ”

"Since ancient times, talented people have been proud of their talents, I have been prepared, Aiqing does not have to blame herself so much. Wang Mang smiled, Wang Mang had long known that it was not so simple to invite someone.

The task has been said, it is called Sangu Thatched House, and Wang Mang still knows the allusion of Sangu Thatched House, from the point of view of the task, inviting Shang Yang is by no means something that can be invited once or twice, at least three times, otherwise how can it be called Sangu Thatched House, so Wang Mang knew that the eldest grandson Wuji would definitely return in vain.

Seeing that the emperor not only did not blame him, but also comforted him so much, he was immediately moved to tears, and kowtowed: "Your Majesty, rest assured, Weichen will go back and live directly in the senior brother's house, if he doesn't come to see Your Majesty, the minister will stay at his house and not leave." ”

"Don't be so exaggerated," Wang Mang shook his head, and generally picked up an envelope from before and said, "There is a letter here, you take it to Shang Yang." ”

After receiving the letter handed over from Li Lan's hand, the eldest grandson Wuji took a deep breath and kowtowed: "Your Majesty is so heavy, the minister will definitely live up to Your Majesty's trust!"

Waiting for the eldest grandson Wuji to leave, Li Lan said with some curiosity: "Your Majesty, do you value this merchant recommended by Zhongshu Ling so much?"

"I have learned that this Shang Yang is indeed a great talent, and he is very helpful to the imperial court, but I value him so much, not only because he is talented, but also for other reasons. Wang Mang said: "You accompany the eldest grandson Wuji to go to Shangyang's house, have a better attitude, you must let him feel my sincerity, and at the same time, you can also let the people around you inadvertently know about this matter." ”

Horse bones in Qianjin City!

In ancient times, there was a king, who wanted to buy a thousand horses with a thousand gold, but after a few years, he could not buy them, and then a minister asked the king to buy a horse, and the horse did not buy it, and bought the bones of a thousand miles with a thousand gold, the king was furious, and the minister said, "The horse bones are still bought for a thousand gold, not to mention the horses, the king only waits for a while, and there must be many people in the world who will take the initiative to sell horses to the king", after some time, sure enough, many people will send the horses to the door.

Wang Mang wants to reform the government of Daqin, he can't rely on him alone, he needs a large number of talents, and to attract talents, he must make a gesture of loving and cherishing talents.

Shang Yang is the horse bone bought by Wang Mang's daughter, the ultimate goal is to let the world's talents see Wang Mang's attitude towards talented people, as long as this courtesy and talented attitude is spread, Wang Mang believes that there will be a large number of talents gathered.

At that time, the imperial court will have enough manpower to carry out reforms, and it will not be timid, and think about it for a long time.

Li Lan felt that he was already very courteous and virtuous now, but Wang Mang knew that this was not enough, and if he wanted to let the people of the world know his reputation as a corporal of Lixian, he must go to Shang Yang's home to invite him personally.

Looking at the thatched house three times, Liu Xuande was able to go to Zhuge Liang's house three times in person in order to invite Zhuge Liang, since he wanted a horse bone in Qianjin City, he naturally had to go to Shangyang's house to maximize his benefits.

While Wang Mang was thinking, Li Lan turned into the study again and reported: "Your Majesty, Meng Yi, the son of the Marquis of Dingbei, and Wang Kun, the grandson of the Marquis of Zhongyong, are asking to see Your Majesty outside the palace. ”

Wang Kun?

Wang Mang looked stunned for a moment, and said, "Didn't I let him serve in the Southern Army? Why haven't you left yet?"

The servant asked, saying that he was preparing to pack up before, and he came to bid farewell to His Majesty today. Li Lan explained.

"What about Meng Yi?" Wang Mang asked again, Wang Mang was still more impressed by Meng Yi, and he was a good impression and a kind person.

"It is said that he greeted His Majesty on behalf of his father Meng Tian. Li Lan said.

There are currently twelve marquis in Daqin, each of which is famous in the world, among which Meng Tian is the Dingbei Marquis of the Great Qin State, responsible for the defense of the northwest and grassland border areas of Daqin, Meng Yi is the eldest son of Meng Tian, that is, the son of the Dingbei Marquis, the Meng family has been loyal to the Qin State for generations, and Wang Kun's Zhongyong Marquis Wang family is the right-hand man of the Great Qin State.

At this moment, the two asked to meet, and Wang Mang naturally didn't feel unreasonable, so he nodded and motioned to Li Lan to call the two to meet.
