Sometimes it has to happen.

Li Hong looked at Wang Mang with a miserable face, as early as after Fang Xizhi's death, Li Hong felt that he would be unlucky sooner or later, as early as then, Li Hong had been planning to get out.

But after he made repeated mistakes, Wang Mang never dismissed him, but continued to let him stay in the position of the head of the household, and for a long time, Li Hong felt that he had escaped a catastrophe.

But what Hexi ordered Chen Hongliang to do broke all Li Hong's illusions, Li Hong has indeed been busy settling accounts these days, but more often, his mind is full of cranky thoughts, he really didn't sleep much, but more because of Hexi's affairs caused him to stay awake all night.

And when Hangu Pass won a big victory, Wang Mang began to investigate the matter of Hangu Pass, Li Hong was completely panicked, after Li Guang took the Hanjiang City, Li Hong was even more afraid, just wanted to return to Chang'an as soon as possible, away from Hangu Pass.

But what should come will come after all, Chen Hongliang's matter finally involved him, and what made Li Hong feel even more destined Wang Mang actually met Nangong Wentian in Hanjiang City.

At that time, Li Hong asked Fang Xizhi to hire Nangong Wentian to serve as the chief appraiser of Qingdefang, after Nangong Wentian arrived, Li Hong asked Nangong Wentian to help identify some strange stones, and then gave a very good piece of strange stones to Zhou Feng, Li Hong did not expect that Zhou Feng actually took the strange stone and asked Nangong Wentian to help identify it, this incident left a deep impression on Nangong Wentian, and directly exposed the connection between Li Hong and Zhou Feng, and the relationship between Zhou Feng and the Fang family's father and son undoubtedly involved the relationship between Li Hong and Fang Xizhi is not so simple。

Fang Po happened to rain overnight, and the matter of Hexi Ling Chen Hongliang finally made Haifeng's cold-faced judge find out some clues, so all the evidence pointed to Li Hong.

"I ask myself if I am worthy of you Li Hong, and you Li Hong is even more noble as the secretary of the Great Qin Household Department, the God of Wealth of Great Qin, and has a pivotal position in Great Qin, I really want to know why all this is?" Wang Mang looked at Li Hong and said.

"Your Majesty, the minister is ashamed of His Majesty's holy grace, and I beg Your Majesty to give the minister a good time. Li Hong knelt deeply on the ground, just begging Wang Mang to give him a good time, if it weren't for Wang Mang by his side, Li Hong would have died on the ground.

Seeing Li Hong like this, Wang Mang waved his hand and said, "Take people down and ask them well." ”

Li Lan immediately beckoned, and at that time, several strong men walked in from outside, tied up Li Hong, and then Li Lan sneered at Li Hong, and took Li Hong down.

It doesn't matter if you don't speak, Li Lan has a hundred ways to get you to speak.

Wang Mang was silent, what Li Hongzhi did had violated Wang Mang's bottom line to some extent, Li Hong's punishment was certain, but what Wang Mang wanted to know more Why did Li Hong do this, and that legendary little Jiao was also what Wang Mang wanted to find.

Wang Mang really wanted to know what this woman who stirred up the Great Qin storm looked like, so that she could connect Li Hong, Fang Xizhi, and Chen Hongliang and use them all for her.

"Your Majesty, there is an envoy from Korea. ”

Great Qin occupied Hangang City, which was absolutely unacceptable to the always arrogant Korea, which sent people to Hangang City almost as soon as they received the news of Gongsun Yang's defeat.

Han Jin, as the right attendant of the Korean military department, has been in charge of grain and grass and army transfer in a large city of 500 miles from Hangu Pass since the start of the war at Hangu Pass.

Han Jin grew up in South Korea since he was a child, and as soon as he entered the office, he was an official in Hancheng, all the way to the right waiter of the Ministry of Industry, and then turned to the right waiter of the Ministry of War, the war has experienced everything, but most of them are wars with Zhao and Wei, for the Qin State, Han Jin looks down on it in his heart, a country far away in the wilderness of the west, has not received the influence of the Central Plains culture, what can be worth paying attention to.

In the battle of Hangu Pass, Han Jin never considered the defeat of the Han army from the bottom of his heart, and the news of the defeat of Hangu Pass has not been short of time, and Han Jin still doesn't believe it very much.

Hearing that the Qin people said that the emperor of Great Qin was willing to meet him, Han Jin snorted coldly, and then strode towards Wang Mang, as soon as he saw Wang Mang, he routinely greeted and said: "Your Majesty, the foreign minister wants to ask Your Majesty, what is Your Majesty's intention to invade my Hanjiang City?"

Han Jin's words fell on Wang Mang's ears, Wang Mang raised his eyebrows, looked left and right, and said, "Who is this person?"

"Your Majesty, this is Han Jin, the right attendant of the Korean Ministry of War, who came to meet His Majesty as the ambassador of South Korea. ”

"South Korean ambassador?" Wang Mang said with a smile: "Is there no one in South Korea who has come here?

Han Jin listened to Wang Mang's disdainful tone, and immediately said angrily: "My Han is a state of etiquette and a kingdom of heaven, Your Majesty humiliates the foreign minister so much, you need to know that the foreign minister is now the envoy of the Great Han and represents the Great Korea, is Your Majesty going to start a full-scale war with my Great Han?"

"Isn't there a war now?" Wang Mang said coldly: "Since the day when your general Shi Dangdang led his army to invade my Hangu Pass, the war between my Great Qin and your Korea has begun, do you want to tell me that everything is just Shi Dang's own decision?"

"Your Majesty, put aside the matter of Shi Dangdang for the time being, the foreign minister just wants to ask Your Majesty, what is the intention of occupying Hanjiang City?" Han Jin said loudly: "Hanjiang City is the inherent territory of our Han for thousands of years, and it is an inseparable part of our Han forever, is it a declaration of war against our Han River City by Great Qin?"

"Han envoy, you must first understand one thing, this war, the country that provoked it is you South Korea, it is your Korean general Shi Kangdang who led the army to attack my Hangu Pass first, Shi Dangdang defeated the army, and your Korean Gongsun Yang led the army to attack my Hangu Pass again, and everything I did in Daqin was self-defense. Wang Mang said: "The Han envoy must clearly understand that the war began with Shi Kangdang's attack on Hangu Pass, not the occupation of Hanjiang City by my army, when the Han envoy asked me to occupy Hanjiang City, I wanted to ask Han Envoy, what is the intention of your Korean army to attack our Hangu Pass without declaring war?"

Han Jin's face turned red, he didn't expect Wang Mang to be so kind to speak, and he didn't take advantage of anything other than taking himself to the ditch.

Knowing that this was His Majesty who underestimated Great Qin, and even more knowing that he had met an opponent, Han Jin suddenly saluted Wang Mang respectfully and said: "Foreign Minister Han Jin See Your Majesty, Long live Your Majesty, Long live Long live, long live Long live, Han Jin is here for two purposes, one is to explain to Your Majesty that the former Panshi dared to lead the army to attack Hangu Pass, and the other is to ask Your Majesty about Hanjiang City. ”

Facing Han Jin, whose attitude suddenly changed, Wang Mang couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, he immediately knew that all Han Jin's previous seemingly reckless actions were just a temptation for him.

For such a person, Wang Mang just waved his hand and said: "I am tired today, come here, take the Han envoy down, and meet me tomorrow if I have time." ”
