"What, Your Majesty, do you want a private visit?"

Li Lan looked at Wang Mang with a shocked expression, completely unaware of what Wang Mang was crazy about.

Wang Mang nodded, raised his eyebrows and said, "Yes, I want to pay a private visit, what's the matter, do you have an opinion?"

Feeling the emperor's displeasure, Li Lan trembled a little in his heart, and said, "Your Majesty, this kind of thing can't be done by a slave?"

"When will you be able to call the shots about me?" Wang Mang said coldly, now that Wang Mang has the strength to protect himself, and he has some understanding of the topography and customs of the capital, his mentality has naturally become a little different.

"The slave is wrong, please forgive your majesty!" Li Lan heard the meaning of Wang Mang's words, and was so frightened that he knelt on the ground.

"It's good to know you're wrong. Wang Mang snorted coldly and said, "Go ahead, prepare for me to leave the palace." ”

"This ......" Li Lan looked at the coldness in Wang Mang's eyes, and finally nodded and said, "The slave will arrange it." ”

"That's it. Wang Mang smiled and said: "I'm just going out, don't make such a fuss, I will have more days to go out in the future." ”

"Ah!" Li Lan looked startled, and looked at Wang Mang with a frightened face.

"What are you still doing here, don't hurry up and prepare. Wang Mang looked at Li Lan with some displeasure, why is this product always so grinding.

"Yes. Li Lan nodded hurriedly and trotted out.

The emperor said it easily, but Li Lan couldn't really arrange it as an easy job, the preparation of various clothes, the preparation of silver taels, and the preparation of the guards were all available, fortunately, he still remembered Wang Mang's instructions, and did not dare to inform the ministers outside, mainly because he was afraid that those ministers would find trouble for themselves.

After all the arrangements were made, Li Lan pulled over a henchman eunuch with some unease, and said, "You go to report to the ancestor, just say that Your Majesty wants to pay a private visit, and you don't have to worry about the rest, just bring the words." ”

The little eunuch was also taken aback, and after getting the words, he trotted all the way to a small remote courtyard in the palace.

Walking in the capital with Li Lan, Wang Mang suddenly felt that the whole person seemed to be a lot more relaxed, and there were pedestrians and hawkers everywhere outside, unlike the palace compound where there was no sound at all, and it was quiet and a little depressing, no wonder there were emperors in history who were bored to open a vegetable market in the palace.

"Li Lan, how do you feel, that's right here, I ...... Only then can I feel the prosperity of our capital. ”

Standing on the most prosperous street in the capital, Wang Mang felt that he was indeed not playing a stand-alone game or palace scheming.

Li Lan rarely left the palace, and was also amazed by the prosperity of the capital, and said, "The emperor ...... Childe, this is all good governance for you. ”

"Stop being a sycophant, be careful to make people laugh at it. Wang Mang laughed.

"Haha, a bunch of hillbillies!"

As soon as Wang Mang finished speaking, there was a burst of laughter on the side, and a group of people dressed as noble sons rode horses and looked at Wang Mang and the others unscrupulously, and one of the leaders even pointed at Wang Mang and smiled: "Listen, what does this hillbilly say, and he is well governed, when he talks about drama, haha, laughing to death!"

"What Fang Gongzi said is. A group of sons agreed: "If you want to say that there is a good way to govern, then it is also Lord Fang's good governance, what is the matter with this hillbilly." ”

"Who are you bold to say, who hillbillies do you dare to slander the emperor in the street...... So said Huang Gongzi. Li Lan's face turned red, and he immediately stepped forward to theorize, and in his excitement, he almost said the wrong thing.

Li Lan didn't open her mouth, but when she opened her mouth, her sharp voice suddenly caused a burst of laughter.

"Look at this little white face, a sissy, just like the eggless eunuchs in the palace. Fang Gongzi laughed.

Li Lan's face was completely red to the root of his ears, and his eyes were red, these people were too deceitful, and as soon as they beckoned, they wanted to call someone to dismantle these noble sons, but Wang Mang did catch him.

Wang Mang was also very angry, the good mood of the original private interview made this group of noble sons lose their interest, and they were about to go crazy, when they saw that the expressions of Fang Gongzi and the others changed slightly.

Following the eyes of Fang Gongzi and the others, a strong man with a tiger's back and a bear's waist walked over, kicked over a noble son, and sneered at Fang Gongzi: "Fang Qiu, you are wantonly insulting others here under the name of your Lao Tzu, have you forgotten what Lao Tzu told you before?"

Fang Qiu's face turned pale, and he exclaimed, "Meng Yi, aren't you in the border city?"

"Isn't it okay for Lao Tzu to come back and take a look?" Meng Yi said sullenly, rolled up his sleeves and said: "I haven't taught you a lesson for some days, I see that your skin is itchy!"

"Brothers,!"

Fang Qiu and the others saw that Meng Yi rolled up his sleeves, and immediately patted the horse, regardless of the fact that this was a downtown area, and scattered birds and beasts in a panic, causing a mess in the trouble.

Meng Yitie's face was blue, and he looked at Fang Qiu and the others who were far away and scolded: "Damn, bullying Lao Tzu didn't ride a horse!"

Wang Mang looked at all this in front of him curiously, and felt that the square ball was very annoying, but if it weren't for the annoying square ball, Wang Mang wouldn't have seen this interesting Meng Yi.

"Thank you for the strong man!" Wang Mang smiled: "Thank you for today's events!"

"You don't have to thank me, I don't like them too. Meng Yi said: "Also, this is the capital, the capital is not as good as the place, there are too many people with ability and background, some things should not be said nonsense, and some people should not be offended." ”

"Who said we were outsiders?" Li Lan said with a sharp voice.

Fang Qiu said. Meng Yi said as a matter of course: "What, you are from the capital, but it's not right, if you are from the capital, how can you provoke Fang Qiu's gang, strange." ”

Hearing Meng Yi say this, Wang Mang immediately understood that the square ball seemed to be a celebrity, otherwise Meng Yi would not have said that he couldn't recognize it.

"I'm originally from Beijing, but I've been out for many years, and I'm only back today. Wang Mang smiled: "So I don't know who the ball is, why is it so domineering in this capital?"

"I see. Meng Yi nodded, and immediately understood why Wang Mang didn't know Fang Qiu, so he said: "That Fang Qiu is the son of Fang Xizhi, the left servant of the household department, the son of the God of Wealth, naturally there are people everywhere to give face, you see him in the future, stay away, try not to conflict with him, this guy is very bad." ”

Xie Meng Zhuang mentioned. Wang Mang said with a smile: "Today is very close to the strong man, I don't know if the strong man has time, let's go to the teahouse next to sit down." ”

"Excuse me. Meng Yi waved his hand and said, "I still have something to do, go first!"

With that, Meng Yi strode away.

Looking at the background of Meng Yi's departure, Wang Mang smiled and said, "Although he speaks rudely, he is a warm-hearted person, Li Lan, do you know him?"

"It should be someone from the Meng family in the northwest, and the name is a little familiar, but I can't remember it for a while. Li Lan said with a frown.

"The people of the Meng family. Wang Mang nodded and said, "This kid is good, I ...... My son likes it, since he is in this capital, there will always be a chance to meet. ”

"This kid is also a stunned boy. Li Lan smiled: "If I know in the future what the identity of the person who invited him to tea today, I don't know what kind of expression it will be." ”

"I'm looking forward to it too. Wang Mang smiled slightly and said: "Let's go, he doesn't drink, let's drink, I heard that the tea in this teahouse is famous all over the world." ”
