Chapter 100: Talking about money hurts feelings
Wang Mang told Shangguan Wan'er about the relevant situation of the change, as well as the relevant details of the change, the deep-seated meaning, and the benefits to Daqin after the success of the change.
This is also Wang Mang is striving for the support of Shangguan Wan'er, the work of changing the law has a long way to go, and the support of Shangyuan Palace is indispensable for Wang Mang.
In other words, Wang Mang didn't ask Shangyuan Palace to support him, at least Shangyuan Palace didn't make trouble with him.
Shangguan Wan'er listened to Wang Mang's report quietly, and finally nodded: "The emperor has done a good job in this matter, such as all the smart people in all countries today are reorganizing their armies to fight, although Daqin is a little later than others, but the tortoise and rabbit race, who can go to the front in the future is uncertain." ”
All countries in the world are preparing for war?
The disciples of Cihang Jingzhai appeared in the countries?
Wang Mang quickly linked these two things, and suddenly there was a feeling that a storm was coming, and it seemed that after a while, the entire continent would be turbulent.
Wang Mang just thought about it, and felt that his whole blood was boiling, but then he saw Shangguan Wan'er with some cold eyes, and it was like a basin of cold water poured down at that time, and he calmed down.
"Queen Mother, as far as I know, all countries are calm now, but according to the Queen Mother, it seems that in a few years or decades, the whole world will be in turmoil, which seems to be a little wrong. Wang Mang looked at Shangguan Wan'er and said.
"There's nothing wrong with it, there are some things you don't know, of course the mourning family knows some, but they don't know much. Shangguan Wan'er looked up at the sky and said, "The mourning family told you this, just to let you be mentally prepared in advance." ”
"I understand, what about changing the law, Queen Mother?" Wang Mang looked up at Shangguan Wan'er.
Shangguan Wan'er's face was indifferent, and said: "Professional things are handed over to professional people to do, Shang Yang is very good, the mourning family has heard of him before, His Majesty can find him, this change of law has been a lot successful, for the mourning family, as long as it is something that can make this Great Qin strong, the mourning family will not stop Your Majesty." ”
"Empress Dowager Xie. Wang Mang thanked him, as long as the Queen Mother didn't stop him, many things would be much easier.
Wang Mang heard the news that many old-fashioned ministers were preparing to come to Shangyuan Palace to ask to see the Queen Mother, and asked the Queen Mother to come forward to stop her own behavior of changing the law.
But hearing Shangguan Wan'er say this, Wang Mang's heart settled down.
Wang Mang is not worried that Shangguan Wan'er will lie to him when he speaks, Shangguan Wan'er's appearance, there is no need to deceive him in this kind of thing, deceive this kind of thing, it is inconsistent with the image and temperament of Shangguan Wan'er.
As soon as a few things were said, the atmosphere in the hall was a little embarrassing for a while, Wang Mang liked to sit in this Shangyuan Palace, there were young and beautiful little girls everywhere, and they were very eye-catching, and even eye exercises were saved.
But Wang Mang also knew that if he had nothing to do, it was estimated that Shangguan Wan'er would soon have to serve tea to the guests.
So, Wang Mang opened his mouth and said: "Queen Mother, Erchen hasn't seen the Queen Mother for some days, I don't know how the Queen Mother is doing lately?"
"It's good. Shangguan Wan'er replied to Wang Mang without embarrassment, and then looked at Wang Mang with a smile and said, "Your Majesty can say whatever you want." ”
"Actually, I don't have anything to say, I just want to see the Queen Mother. Wang Mang looked at Shangguan Wan'er with some embarrassment.
"Look at the mourning family?" Shangguan Wan'er smiled and said, "The emperor should change to someone else, the girl in this palace, what does Your Majesty think of Bao Xi?"
Molesed!
Wang Mang was speechless, this queen mother really didn't suffer, she just teased the other party, and she was teased by the other party here, but Wang Mang is not a person who is afraid of things.
"Ice crystal jade bones. Wang Mang immediately glanced at Bao Xi and praised: "In the Queen Mother's Palace, if you talk about beauty, Bao Xi is definitely among the top three." ”
"Your Majesty has vision. Shangguan Wan'er glanced at Wang Mang in some surprise, and then shook her head and said, "Your Majesty doesn't seem to have anything to do today, right?"
"Nothing. Wang Mang shook his head.
"Want to chat with the mourning family?" Shangguan Wan'er said again.
"This ......" Wang Mang didn't dare to speak, but when he saw that he could talk to Shangguan Wan'er, he suddenly felt happy in his heart.
"Then let's talk. Shangguan Wan'er didn't wait for Wang Mang to answer, and said directly: "Last time, the mourning family agreed with the emperor that the emperor would give the mourning family 500,000 taels of silver to build Yiheyuan, and now where has Your Majesty raised this money?"
"Ahh Wang Mang was originally happily waiting to talk to Shangguan Wan'er, but when he heard Shangguan Wan'er's words, he was surprised, and then immediately said: "Queen Mother, it's too hurtful to talk about money, let's talk about something else." ”
"The mourning family thinks it's good to talk about money, in this world, everyone loves money, and after talking about this money, it's not too late to talk about anything else. Shangguan Wan'er smiled.
"This ...... I remember, there is something going on in my palace, and I have to go back and deal with it first. Wang Mang gritted his teeth and said stubbornly.
Where did he get the money for the Queen Mother now, the small treasury is rich, but repairing Yiyi Garden is a matter of the imperial court, how can he let the emperor pay for it out of his own pocket.
Moreover, Wang Mang is sure that Shangguan Wan'er definitely didn't bring up this matter for no reason, with Wang Mang's understanding of Shangguan Wan'er, since she said it, there must be a follow-up.
This woman is too thief, then she has a dime, she can let you pay him back a dollar with interest, with a white face and a black heart.
Shangguan Wan'er was unwilling to let Wang Mang go like this, and said directly: "The mourning family heard that Your Majesty has made a small fortune, and there is a way that friends have the righteousness of wealth, although the mourning family and Your Majesty are not friends, but the relationship is deeper than that of friends, Your Majesty has made a fortune, is it time to consider paying back the money." ”
What is this?
Wang Mang was speechless for a while, for a while, his friends were wealthy, and when he repaid the money, Wang Mang simply made Shangguan Wan'er's logic collapse.
But Wang Mang knew that Shangguan Wan'er was looking for him for money, so he pretended to be stupid and said: "What kind of money, why don't I know that I have made a fortune recently, if you want to say that I have made a fortune, I recently copied Fang Xizhi's house, and the income from the house is indeed a lot, but there are not 100,000 taels of it, I have already ordered the household department to send the money to Shangyuan Palace? Could it be that Shangyuan Palace didn't receive it, this Li Hong, I simply don't take me seriously, so I went to him and reprimanded him." ”
"Your Majesty doesn't care about him, the household department also gave the Shangyuan Palace the 100,000 taels, the mourning family has already received it, and has already instructed Yueru to take people to do the preliminary work for the construction of Yiheyuan. Shangguan Wan'er waved her hand, stood up, and her slender figure was suddenly revealed in front of Wang Mang, with a phoenix crown and a peerless face, she was even more queen than a queen.
Shangguan Wan'er smiled at Wang Mang, with a smile in her eyes, and said: "Your Majesty is so forgetful, the mourning family understands, the mourning family reminds you, Li Lan, Yunzhong Chamber of Commerce, safe, has Your Majesty remembered anything?"
"This ...... A little thing actually made the Queen Mother pay attention. Wang Mang smiled awkwardly, but shouted in his heart, who leaked the news, if I let me know, I won't break the dog's legs.
"It's not a trivial matter, half of Fang Xizhi's net worth. Shangguan Wan'er said with a smile: "People say that those who see it have a share, and I don't know what Your Majesty is going to do." ”
