Wang Mang was very curious about what made Hua Jieyu so jealous, so that he couldn't maintain the peace on his face at all.

After a long time, Hua Xie Yu smiled bitterly at Wang Mang: "Your Majesty really gave Xie Yu a problem, who is it above, does Your Majesty really know nothing?"

"There's some speculation, but you need to be sure. Wang Mang's face remained unchanged, but his heart was turbulent.

Wang Mang had already learned some secret things about the continent from Shangguan Wan'er, although there are no saints in the world today, there are still some masters who have surpassed the innate realm.

can make two schools that have been passed down for thousands of years, and there are even sages and ancestors in the door, come to Daqin, then the depth of the water behind this can be imagined.

Hua Jieyu showed an expression that was really like this, although she couldn't figure out the details of Wang Mang, but she could be sure that Wang Mang could cultivate to the current level, there must be unfathomable secrets behind it, and how could an unfathomable person not know about some secrets of the mainland.

But for those taboo-like existences, Hua Jieyu didn't dare to say them at will, so he said: "Your Majesty, it's not that Xie Yu doesn't want to say it, it's really that the water in here is too deep, and I ask Your Majesty to understand, in this way, this problem doesn't count, Xie Yu will send Your Majesty another piece of information, what does Your Majesty think?"

Although Hua Xie Yu didn't say it, his attitude and expression told Wang Mang the secret here, Wang Mang also knew that with his current strength, some things were far better than knowing, but he still asked unwillingly: "You and I are now a cooperative relationship, you don't want to see your partner have an accident, right?"

"Your Majesty is really joking, with that person here, even if the sky falls, it won't hit Your Majesty. Hua Xie Yu smiled, and then as if she thought of something, she suddenly stopped talking, but she suddenly thought that that one was also a forbidden existence, which was really unspeakable.

Wang Mang showed a thoughtful expression, he had long felt that this Great Qin was a little weird, and the nameless old man in the palace was even more weird, but now it seemed that he still looked down on these weirdness.

However, Wang Mang also knew that even if there were more doubts at this time, Hua Xie Yu would not say more, so he said: "Okay, since you are willing to exchange other information for the question I asked you, then I think you should know the principle of equivalent exchange." ”

"Naturally, I know that the principle of the painting boat is to make the guests feel at home!" Hua Xie Yu said confidently: "Since Your Majesty asked about the Jixia School Palace and the White Deer Academy, then Xie Yu happened to have information about them here, and now there are only a few people on the road who know about it, and the painting boat also learned about it by accident." ”

"What's the matter?" Wang Mang said.

"A deputy palace master of the Jixia Academy and a vice president of the White Deer Academy appeared in Korea. Hua Jieyu said this, so he didn't say much.

Wang Mang's face changed, he stood up suddenly, and asked, "They appeared in South Korea, what do they want to do?"

Regarding the news of Hua Jieyu, Wang Mang instinctively felt a crisis, especially in combination with the Korean general Shi Dangdang who led an army of 300,000 to attack Hangu Pass, there must be something involved, Wang Mang would never believe that there would be such a coincidence in the world.

What a Jixia Academy! What a White Deer Academy! This is a joint pit I am coming!

Wang Mang's heart was full of anger, and he only felt that these two holy places for students were so deceitful, they were so deceitful that I really couldn't make it in the mud.

However, in front of Hua Jieyu, Wang Mang didn't want to show more, raised his eyebrows, and said: "The painting boat is really powerful, so the information can be known, and I really didn't choose the wrong ally." ”

"Is there anything else Your Majesty would like to ask?" Hua Xie said.

"Not yet, but I think I have a lot of things to trouble lately, but I don't know who I should contact in the future, so I can't look for you every time, so the goal is too obvious. Wang Mang said.

"The Interpreter Society will send a person to liaise with His Majesty on a full-time basis. Hua Xie Yu smiled and said, "It just so happens that there is a person who comes with Xie Yu this time who also knows His Majesty, so Xie Yu will let her contact His Majesty." ”

"Who is it?" Wang Mang said curiously.

"Your Majesty will know when the time comes. Hua Xie Yu smiled and said goodbye to Wang Mang and left.

Waiting for Hua Jieyu to leave, Wang Mang thought about the conversation with Hua Jieyu, and immediately ordered someone to call Wang Jian and the others.

Wang Jian and the others came quickly, and when everyone stood up, Wang Mang waved his hand, and Li Lan stepped forward to close the four gates, and then in the puzzled eyes of everyone, Wang Mang said: "Everyone, I just got a not very good news, you must be mentally prepared." ”

Looking at Wang Mang's solemn expression, everyone's faces also became serious, and in the silence, Wang Mang said with a solemn face: "I just learned that there is a high-ranking person in Jixia Academy and Bailu Academy who are now in South Korea, which coincides with the Korean army's attack on Hangu Pass, and I think there should be a lot of involvement in this. ”

"Jixia Academy and White Deer Academy?" Wang Yongji jumped to his feet and said: "How could these two holy gates be inexplicably involved in this matter, where did Your Majesty get the news, it won't be a false rumor!"

"Wang Yongji, when can you question Your Majesty casually!" Haifeng glared at Wang Yongji coldly.

Wang Yongji's body was shocked, and he hurriedly kowtowed to Wang Mang and said, "The minister is guilty, please surrender your majesty!"

"Alright, I have come to you today to prepare you in advance, I know that you have doubts, but I can tell you that this news is true, and there is no need for the person who told me this news to deceive me, and there is no need for me to scare you. Wang Mang said with a cold face.

When Hua Jieyu first told Wang Mang the news, Wang Mang also doubted the authenticity of the news, but soon Wang Mang knew that Hua Jieyu really didn't need to deceive himself, not to mention that the two of them are allies now, that is, in the future, the big shots of Jixia School Palace and Bailu Academy arrived in South Korea, and it couldn't be hidden for long anyway, and when the time came, they destroyed the tacit understanding.

Hearing Wang Mang say this, everyone immediately understood that what Wang Mang said was true, and the eldest grandson Wuji said: "Your Majesty, although Jixia Academy and Bailu Academy are not active in my Daqin, the influence of the two families is extremely strong, and many disciples are active in Daqin. ”

"Eldest Sun Wuji, please be cautious!" Wang Jian glared at Eldest Sun Wuji, looked around, and said: "Those present today are all important ministers of Great Qin, loyal ministers of His Majesty, there are no people from Jixia Academy or Bailu Academy here, only His Majesty's people here." ”

"The lesson of the general is that it is Mowgli who is talking nonsense. The eldest grandson Wuji hurriedly said: "Wuji is also anxious for a while, please don't mind." ”

Although the words of the eldest grandson Wuji were beautiful, who was not a human spirit in the audience, who really believed the explanation of the eldest grandson Wuji, and even some thoughtful people doubted whether the emperor instructed him to say this, who did not know that the eldest grandson Wuji and Shang Yang were now the emperor's ministers of the humerus.

Let the eldest grandson Wuji interrupt like this, but everyone also knows that the next conversation, I'm afraid it can't be said casually, if the words are wrong, I will lose my head today.

Wang Mang looked at everyone's expressions, and couldn't help laughing in his heart, what everyone thought, he could see some through his expressions, but Wang Mang dared to guarantee that he really didn't have some of everyone's thoughts.

However, Wang Mang has no intention of refuting the rumors, as a leader, he has to make his subordinates unpredictable.

"Your Majesty, do you know who those two high-ranking people are, when did they arrive in South Korea?" Haifeng's cold voice sounded.

Wang Mang didn't expect that it would be Haifeng who would be the first to break the silence, and glanced at Haifeng a little strangely, Haifeng seemed to guess what Wang Mang was thinking, and said directly: "When the minister was young, he once wanted to join the White Deer Academy, but unfortunately the minister's qualifications were not good, and the academy did not accept it, so the minister was also somewhat involved with these two holy gates." ”

"Hai-sama's qualifications are not good, this is really a joke that is not very funny. The eldest grandson Wuji sneered.

"Needless to say, Lord Eldest Sun, I know my own qualifications, and compared to some people in the Holy Gate, there is indeed a big gap. Haifeng said: "Rejected by the Holy Gate, Haifeng thinks that he is indeed stupid in qualifications. ”

"Lord Hai, the old man went to the Jixia School Palace to study a few years ago, but the old man was also rejected, the old man did not have such a big measure as Lord Hai, and the old man did not think that his qualifications were so dull that he couldn't even pass the beginner disciple test. Zhang Han opened his mouth at this time: "Who in the world doesn't know that in the eyes of such a high-ranking scholar as Jixia Academy and Bailu Academy, my Daqin is just a place for foreign barbarians, a place without education and no education, and my Daqin's scholars want to go to study with the two of them, it is really difficult to the extreme, not the kind of genius who moves the world, don't even think about it." ”

Zhang Han sneered and continued: "The old man heard that some people from the Jixia Academy and the White Deer Academy have appeared in the territory of Daqin recently, and they actually took the initiative to accept apprentices, and I don't know what the idea is, the old man is also a few years old, the old man can see that there is a problem here, there is a big problem, these two holy gates must have plans for my Great Qin, and we have to guard against it!"

"Master Zhang, I want to come to Your Majesty to find us, and it is also for this matter. Li Hong said with a smile at this time: "I have nothing to do with these two families anyway, when I was young, I didn't go to study for Chinese culture, I haven't suffered this insult, but I still know some of the experiences of my best friends, so I empathize with the things of Master Zhang and Lord Hai." ”

"Ladies and gentlemen, let's talk about business. Wang Jian opened his mouth and said: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that the two schools are now infiltrating my Great Qin, and they must have some plans, and the minister also heard that the people from the Jixia School Palace and the White Deer Academy had caused some trouble in the capital before, I don't know if it's true." ”

When I heard about this, I ordered these scholars and their teachers to be locked up. Wang Mang said: "There are many people in the capital who know about this matter, and the general said this, but I suspect that the two families are agitating South Korea to act for these people?"

"Maybe, maybe not, but these people should be the fuse. Wang Jian said: "South Korea is also a big country, but the national strength is slightly weaker than my Great Qin, South Korea raised 300,000 troops, it is definitely not a matter decided in one day or two days, it should be a matter that has been planned for a long time, as far as the minister knows, the Jixia School Palace and the White Deer Academy are not weak in the Korean government and the opposition, this time to my Great Qin, when it has a relationship with the two families, but how big the relationship is, the minister is not easy to guess. ”

"The relationship is not small, and each of the two families sent a vice president and deputy palace master to South Korea. Wang Mang said with a smile.

Wang Mang's voice fell, everyone present gasped, looked at Wang Mang with a shocked face, and the eldest grandson Wuji said directly: "What do these two families want to do?"

Jixia School Palace and Bailu Academy are the holy gates of the world, and the palace masters and deans of the two families are the living saints in the hearts of all the scholars in the world, and their status is far beyond that of a monarch, even with the deputy palace masters and vice presidents of the two families, their status is also equivalent to a monarch, and even a little higher than the monarch.

Not to mention, let's just say that three years ago, a vice president of Bailu Academy came to Wei, and the monarch of Wei personally went out of the city to greet him, and greeted the vice president with the etiquette of welcoming the monarch, and this vice president was in Wei during the period, the monarch of Wei always kept around, and treated him as a disciple.

Now, there are two such big names in South Korea, and there is no news at all, and this matter is worth pondering for those present, and it is even more surprising to those present.

Wang Yongji frowned and said: "The minister is very curious, what are these two families for, they have not come to my Daqin for hundreds of years, and now they are coming together." ”

"No matter what they want to do, in the land of Great Qin, they have to follow the rules of Great Qin!" Haifeng said with a stiff face.

"That's right, Da Qin is His Majesty's Da Qin, and His Majesty's will is the only will of Da Qin!"

"Lord Hai's words won my heart!"

A group of ministers followed Haifeng to echo, and the eldest grandson Wuji's eyes turned, a trace of surprise flashed on his face, and he clapped his hands and said, "I see, Your Majesty, do you know what these two families want to do?"

Say. Wang Mang glanced at the eldest grandson Wuji and appreciated the talent of the eldest grandson Wuji even more.

The eldest grandson Wuji hurriedly said: "Last year, a friend of the minister came to Daqin, and during the banquet, he was quite resentful of the Jixia School Palace, and said a lot of things about the major holy gates in the world, which said that now between the Jixia School Palace and the White Deer Academy, the power competition is very strong, and now the two families seem to have something big to do, and they are trying to concentrate all their strength. ”

Breathing a sigh of relief, the eldest grandson Wuji continued: "Now it seems that the minister's friend has indeed guessed today's situation a long time ago, and the people of the two families raised troops in South Korea, taking advantage of the fact that my main force of Great Qin went south to quell the rebellion, it is nothing more than to increase the bargaining chips for them to enter Great Qin. ”

"If it is really as Lord Wuji said, then the two holy gates may really want my Great Qin to sign an alliance under the city. Zhang Han frowned and said, "Now is not the time to turn against the two holy gates. ”

"Turn your face or not, you have to look at their asking price!" Li Hong said: "Sit on the ground and start the price, pay back on the ground, as long as there is something to talk about, there must be a price code." ”

"Lord Li, I don't know what the starting price is, and I don't know what the price is, the old man has led the troops to fight for many years, and he only knows one thing, if the strength of the two sides is not at the same level at all, who will be so kind and sit on the ground with you?" Wang Jian sneered.

"I understand, of course. Li Hong explained with some embarrassment: "I don't mean anything else, why should the general tease me like this." ”

"Okay, don't talk about it. Wang Mang snorted coldly, and immediately the ministers quieted down, and Wang Mang continued: "I agree with the general's words, in this world, only people with equal status can sit at the negotiation table, so in my opinion, a war with South Korea may not be avoidable." ”

"The minister also thinks so, South Korea is now a pawn of the two holy gates, and for the two holy gates, my Daqin is just a chess piece, this is a war between the chess pieces and the chess pieces, it should not involve the dispute between the holy gates, otherwise the spread is too wide, if it causes any trouble, I am afraid that even the two holy gates will not be able to afford it. "The king said with auspiciousness.

"The ministers agree with what His Majesty said, and they also think that what Lord Wang said is reasonable, but what should the ministers do now?"

"What to do, how to do it. Wang Yongji said angrily.

"That's right, get the things at hand right first. Wang Jian said: "What we are doing now is to counter the rebellion, the southern rebels are in front of us, our first thing is to take down the southern rebels, capture the rebel Wang Xi alive, unify the territory of Great Qin, and kill the arrogance of the Kingdom of Qiu, as for other things, all of them are placed behind the counterinsurgency." ”

"But doesn't Hangu Pass care? Since the two holy gates have intervened, then their plans must be not small, and the so-called Shi Dare to be an army of 300,000 should be just foreplay, and there are still a lot of things to do later, so what should I do?" Li Hong said.

"There are 100,000 soldiers guarding Hangu Pass itself, and now the capital has activated the emergency plan, and the 200,000 army reserve army should already be on the way to Hangu Pass, with 300,000 troops guarding the pass, don't say that the enemy only has 300,000, that is, the number of people will be doubled, and the city of Hangu Pass will be strong, and it can be defended. When Wang Jian said this, he snorted coldly, and continued: "General Ben knows that you are thinking that Wang Yi is my son, but there is no father and son above the court and on the battlefield, and as a general of the imperial court, if he is not capable, he will die on the battlefield, and there is nothing to say, and his son has grown up, and it is a big deal to avenge his father in the future." ”

"The general actually made such preparations, and the officials admired!" Li Hong looked at Wang Jian with some respect, originally he still had some opinions about an old general like Wang Jian, but now after listening to Wang Jian's words, Li Hong had to admit that he underestimated this world-famous general.

Wang Yongji said: "Your Majesty, originally our side planned to gather a large army in three days and defeat the combined army of the Kingdom of Yu and the rebels in one fell swoop, but now it seems that time is running out, and we have to act as soon as possible." ”

"Lord Wang, you know, it's not that we don't want to act as soon as possible, but we all know that the rebels have some connections with the country of Yu and the country of Xu, and now the army of the country of Yu has appeared, and the army of the state of Xu has not yet appeared, and the country of Xu is in our rear, if our army is at war with the army of the army, and the army of the country of Xu cuts off the rear of our army, then our army will be in big trouble. Li Hongdao.

"I think there will be a result of this matter tomorrow at the latest. Wang Mang said, yesterday the second elder of Zhulin and a group of masters had rushed to Xu Guo, but the result was not known, so Wang Mang was not easy to tell the ministers about this.

"If it is really as Your Majesty said, then it is better for our army to attack tomorrow, what do you think?"

"Lord Wang, isn't this a bit of a hurry?" Li Hong said: "Although this logistics grain and grass can keep up, the original notice was three days later, and now it is suddenly advanced by one day, and I am worried that there will be some lack of preparation." ”

"Lord Li, this Lord Li, but please rest assured, the grain, grass, men and horses escorted by Zhang Han the day before yesterday are enough for the army for March, and there is no problem. Zhang Han said.

Li Hong glared at Zhang Han, and before he could speak, Wang Jian said: "What Lord Wang said is extremely true, and General Ben also thinks that this matter is feasible. The action after three days was our original preparation, and the enemy army also knew about it, but if we sent troops in advance, we could catch them off guard, as for Lord Li's words about the lack of preparation, I would have thought that I didn't have to care, I would have experienced thousands of battles in my life, and there had never been a single one that was completely well prepared, no matter how we prepared, when it came to the end, there would always be some unexpected situations. ”

"Lord Yuwen, do you also think that you should send troops now?" Li Hong had no choice but to set his eyes on Yuwen Kai, who had been silent.

Yu Wenkai didn't say a word since he came in, and now that he heard Li Hong speak, he smiled bitterly and said: "Master Li, don't embarrass me, I'm an engineer, how can I know how to fight, if you want me to say, don't care about so much, there are so many generals here, who doesn't know how to fight a war better than us, we just listen to them." ”

"I don't know how to fight, I only know that fighting a war is money!" Li Hong stomped his feet angrily, but said: "Forget it, the official doesn't say it, you are in charge, and the official agrees." ”

Wang Mang looked at Li Hong with some doubts, but Li Hong's performance today was a little strange, if it weren't for Wang Mang knowing Li Hong's details and holding him in his hand, Wang Mang even doubted whether this kid had secretly defected to the rebels behind his back.

Without Li Hong's disruption, the matter was quickly settled, and tomorrow the army would go directly to the garrison of the army, and at the same time send a letter to the forward, ordering the forward Li Guang and Wang Jitang's department to send spies to investigate the enemy's situation, and the elite of the forward battalion except for the team that paraded the four sides to defend the enemy, the rest of the people were all rested and ready to attack at any time.

Waiting for the generals to leave, Wang Mang left Li Hong alone and said, "Li Hong, what are you making trouble about?"

"Your Majesty, the minister didn't make any trouble. Li Hong was a little weak when he was left alone, and now when Wang Mang asked, he was even more frightened and almost knelt on the ground to plead guilty.

Wang Mang looked at the expression on Li Hong's face with a smile, smiled, and said coldly: "Li Hong, although you say nothing on your mouth, but the expression on your face betrays you, this is the so-called body is more honest than your heart, so, do you say it yourself, or let the secret agent investigate!"

"Your Majesty spares your life!"

Li Hong was so frightened that he collapsed to the ground.
