"With these five people, the progress of repairing the bridge can be accelerated a lot, but remember, Wuji, the bridge is not allowed to be repaired without my order. Wang Mang commanded.

"Your Majesty, can the minister know why? The minister is worried that he will not be able to do well. "Eldest Sun Wuji didn't want to ask, but he had to ask, otherwise he wouldn't be able to grasp the proportions.

"Since you know about Cihang Jingzhai, then you should know that this time Cihang Jingzhai is to let my Great Qin help them take the Kingdom of Yu, and then take the Kingdom of Yelang. Wang Mang said slowly: "Actually, I have long had the idea of taking the Kingdom of Qiu, otherwise I would not have mobilized the army this time and brought so many people to the southern front, so the layout for the Kingdom of Qiu has already begun." ”

After a pause, Wang Mang continued: "My Great Qin can't be an unrighteous army, and he must be famous to take the Kingdom of Yu. ”

"So Your Majesty's real plan is to wait for Wang Xi to collude with the Kingdom of Qiu, and the army of the Kingdom of Qiu will go north to join Wang Xi's rebels......" The eldest grandson Wuji looked at Wang Mang with a shocked face, in the past, he couldn't imagine that this kind of means could be done by the Son of Heaven, but thinking of the various things that the Son of Heaven has done recently, the eldest grandson Wuji has to admit that he and even the world have underestimated the Son of Heaven in front of him.

"That's right, I'm just waiting for the army of the Kingdom of Yu to go north to join Wang Xi's rebels and engage me. Wang Mang said with a smile: "According to the report of the spies, the two sides have begun to negotiate the details, and the 200,000 troops of the Kingdom of Qiu have been assembled at the junction with Daqin, once the two sides sign an agreement, these troops of the Kingdom of Qiu will immediately go to Shenshui County, do you understand?"

"The minister understands, and the minister knows what to do. The eldest grandson Wuji left with a solemn face, and it was only now that the eldest grandson Wuji understood why Wang Mang would leave the matter of repairing the bridge to him, because only he could do it, and only he could do it well, so that Wang Mang could rest assured.

Soon after the eldest grandson Wuji left, Li Lan reported what happened to the spies in the restaurant where Qin Mengyao stayed, saying that it was a congenital master who stepped away from the restaurant, and in addition, he also reported that the eldest grandson Wuji took a few people from the restaurant......

No matter how big or small, Li Lan reported everything, Wang Mang also listened, and finally just told Li Lan to continue to stare at the restaurant, he wanted to know everything that happened in the restaurant, Li Lan took the order, and said: " Your Majesty, now there are as many as 700,000 troops gathered from all over the country, Shenmu County is not a big county after all, so many people are pouring in at once, and the accommodation in the city is a little unbearable, and after the army is assembled, because of the complex composition of the army, there have been a lot of fights and brawls, and the minions don't know whether they should tell Your Majesty or not, but if they don't say it, the minions always feel that it is inappropriate. ”

Wang Mang was originally reviewing the recital, hearing Li Lan's report, Wang Mang couldn't help but stop the pen in his hand, his eyebrows raised slightly, Li Lan said the situation, in fact, Wang Jian and Wang Yongji had already reported to him before, but he felt that with the talents of the two generals, it should be very simple to calm things down, and now it seems that it seems to have little effect.

After a moment of silence, Wang Mang ordered: "Go and invite Haifeng." ”

Li Lan looked stunned, and then went out to find Haifeng, Haifeng's reputation is not small, Li Lan knows that if Wang Mang uses Haifeng to deal with this matter, it is estimated that many people will have to fall in the army.

Haifeng's action is needless to say, but in a few quarters of an hour, Haifeng arrived in front of Wang Mang, and when he saw Wang Mang, Haifeng said: "Your Majesty, this military judge can't do it anymore, please choose another meritorious!"

Wang Mang smiled and said, "Aiqing, looking at the government and the opposition, who else is qualified to be this military judge besides Aiqing? ”

"Your Majesty is heavy, and Weichen is deeply moved. Haifeng sighed and said, "Your Majesty should know that there have been some lawless things such as fights and brawls in the army recently." ”

"I've heard the two generals talk about it. Wang Mang said: "I came to you today for this matter, I heard that these lawless things are not handled very well." ”

"It's not very good, it's just connivance!" Haifeng said: "Military discipline, military discipline, what does military discipline do, military discipline is to make the soldiers understand the law and discipline, what is the imperial army, that is the army of the people, that is the army established to protect the safety of people's lives and property, but now some of the things that our army is doing in Shenmu County, where is the army of the people, the army of the imperial court, it is clearly bandits and robbers, it is an army that is worse than the rebels......"

"Lord Hai!" Li Lan looked fierce and scolded on the side.

Haifeng's expression changed, and he immediately pushed the golden mountain and poured the jade pillar to the ground and knelt on the ground and said: "Your Majesty, the minister lost his words and was willing to be punished, but Your Majesty, what the minister said was the minister's heartfelt words, which may not sound good, but it is true." ”

"Haifeng, you get up first. Wang Mang's face was also a little not good-looking, but he also knew Haifeng's temperament, he said some things too much, and Wang Mang didn't care, or said these things Haifeng said that he Wang Mang didn't care, and if he changed someone, it would be a matter of losing his head.

Haifeng didn't get up, and said: "Your Majesty, please strictly investigate these illegal soldiers, if Your Majesty does not agree, the ministers will not get up." ”

"Yo, I'm still threatened!" Wang Mang smiled and said, "Haifeng, do you know that I am the least threatened. ”

"Your Majesty, the minister is not joking with Your Majesty!" Haifeng looked at Wang Mang with a serious face.

Wang Mang looked at Haifeng, although he felt Haifeng's sincerity, but Wang Mang didn't care about this sincerity, the emperor has his own imperial means, why care about what you think of a courtier.

With a cold expression, Wang Mang said coldly: "Haifeng, if you still recognize you as my courtier, then you should get up, otherwise you will kneel like this!"

Haifeng looked at Wang Mang, and after half a sound, he slowly got up and said stiffly: "Your Majesty, please ask Your Majesty to make decisions for the people of Shenmu!"

"Alright, Haifeng. Wang Mang's expression softened slightly, and said: "I have already said before, I came to you to deal with this matter, or I came to you to reprimand you!"

"Reprimand?" Haifeng looked at Wang Mang incredulously.

Wang Mang nodded and said, "Yes, it is to reprimand you, I ask you, who are you?"

"The minister is His Majesty's courtier, the head of the Metropolitan Procuratorate of Great Qin, and the chief military judge of the Southern Expeditionary Army. Haifeng said loudly.

"Very good, you still remember that you are the head of the Metropolitan Procuratorate and the military judge of the Southern Expeditionary Army. Wang Mang snorted coldly and said, "Then I ask you, since you have seen those illegal acts, why don't you stop or punish these acts? Why don't you perform your duties as a military judge? What do I want you to do as a military judge? Do you want to be a mascot?"

Wang Mang's words were deafening, and Haifeng, who was shocked, fell directly to the ground, he looked at Wang Mang blankly, unable to say a word.

"Haifeng, stand up for me and tell me what I want you to do as a military judge?" Wang Mang patted the table in front of him.

Haifeng's body stood up involuntarily, his expression gradually returned to clarity, and he said loudly: "Implement zero tolerance for some violations of military discipline in the army, strictly enforce the law, strictly enforce military discipline, and assist Your Majesty to build an iron-blooded strong army with strong discipline, strong combat effectiveness, and rigorous style for Daqin." ”

"Then what are you still doing here, don't you do it quickly!" Wang Mang said.

Haifeng nodded at Wang Mang with a solemn face, turned around, and strode away, at this moment, Haifeng understood that the so-called "Yan Ming" he used to be was not the real Yan Ming, and now, after the Son of Heaven woke up, he really understood what he should do.
