Chapter 19: A New Dynasty

After Wang Mang became the emperor, he could receive talismans from all over the world almost every day. Since ancient times, it has been said that the emperor who was let by Chan and the emperor who was let by Chan was moved out one by one. For a time, there were three factions in the court: Yao, Shun, and Yu. The courtiers of the three factions all lobbied Wang Mang for their own purposes.

Yan Zheng is also from Fang Shi, and he still takes not controlling the national fortune as the bottom line. After seeing Wang Mang's sudden change, he himself was frightened. At the moment, Yan Zheng said that he was not sick, so he watched the development of the situation coldly from his own home and Wu Mian's people.

In the blink of an eye, at the end of the year, there is still no news that the old guy will not return. From time to time, I start to get irritable, and then it becomes normal. When the New Year was approaching, two carriages suddenly stopped at the door of Yan Zheng's private house. Then the coachman removed the coarse cloth from the top of the carriage, and the two iron monkeys inside jumped out of the carriage by themselves.

Although Yan Zai's house is far away from the downtown area, these two big guys still attract the attention of the surrounding neighbors. In the blink of an eye, one hundred and eighty people gathered at the door of Yan Zheng's house. Some people looked through the crack in the door, and some people climbed onto the jujube tree in front of Yan Zai's house, and even went directly to the wall of Yan Zai's house, pointing and drawing to see such a strange monster.

The two coachmen directly found Wu Mian and said that he was being asked by a man with a cloak. The two iron monkeys were sent to them, because the iron monkeys were too heavy, one carriage could not bear the weight of the two iron monkeys, so they could only be sent in two carriages.

When Wu Mian crossed the sea without returning, it was because he considered that the two iron monkeys were too heavy. Once you accidentally fall into the sea, you will be corroded by the seawater. That's why he didn't bring the two of them to Bait Island, but still hid them in the cave where they couldn't return. You can find two iron monkeys in the cave, and you can find someone to send them back. There is only one person left.

At first, I thought it was a return. However, after careful inquiry, the person who brought the iron monkey to the money was a young man who was not very old. It's just that the man was wearing a cloak, and the two coachmen couldn't see him clearly. However, this person's hand is not small, and as soon as he makes a move, he will have a gold coin of nearly one tael per person. Not to mention asking them to send the iron monkeys, even if they bought their carriages, it would be no problem.

After asking for a long time, I couldn't find out the whereabouts of the return, and finally gave up completely. Yan Zheng gave two more gold bills, which can be regarded as making a small fortune for the two of them.

However, because he was beaten by Shami several times in the early years, he had already fallen ill. As long as you are close to the novice, you will have a palpitation. In the end, Yan Zheng hid the two of them in the warehouse in the backyard, and they didn't want to go to the backyard to wander around, and the two iron monkeys didn't come out if they had nothing to do.

In any case, the two iron monkeys, Shami and Bhikshu, suddenly appeared, saying that they had nothing to do with returning or not returning, and they didn't believe it when they saw that they didn't like to use their brains the most. It's just that the two iron monkeys can only be used to transmit sounds, and they don't have their own thinking, and they can't ask these two cast-iron beasts about anything.

However, the appearance of the iron monkey just shows that the old guy is safe and sound, so he is finally relieved a little bit. Within a few days, the New Year was over, and Wu Mian and these people spent the New Year in Yan Zheng's private house. Wu Mian and Wu Mian have been wandering outside all these years, and their minds are on the maps left by Xu Fu.

Now the matter of the map is finally over, although he still hasn't found a way to unlock his seal. originally wanted to live a peaceful life for a few years, but who would have thought that he would be involved in the palace infighting. The most reassuring Chinese New Year's Eve meal over the years will be eaten here in Yan Robbery.

However, this peace of mind meal was only eaten for one day, and on the first day of the Lunar New Year, according to the rules of the Han Dynasty, this astronomical military official would enter the palace early in the morning to congratulate the emperor on the joy of the New Year. Since Yan Zheng was close to Wang Mang's old residence, he also left a place on this day. Early in the morning, when the civil and military officials entered the palace, they saw Liu Ying, the crown prince who was supposed to be held by the queen mother and sitting on the throne, sitting alone on a newly established side seat next to the throne.

At this time, the throne was vacant, and the civil and military officials had never seen the emperor not sit on the throne for so many years, but did it on a chair next to him. At that moment, the hundred officials didn't know what was going on, and they began to talk to each other.

Just when everyone was talking, they suddenly heard the emperor's special ritual music sounding. Finally, surrounded by a group of guards, Wang Mang, who was wearing a royal robe, and Wang Mang, who was wearing a crown of twelve, walked into the main hall.

Almost as soon as Wang Mang entered the main hall, the people who had been arranged among the civil and military officials suddenly knelt down in front of Wang Mang. In front of other colleagues, he bowed three times and bowed nine times to the emperor. Looking at this formation, the other officials immediately understood what was going on.

At that moment, several people who were inclined to inflammatory, immediately knelt down with Wang Mang's Neiying, and continued to bow to the emperor. The remaining officials saw that there were fewer and fewer companions still standing, and the guards brought by Wang Mang looked at them coldly, and the hilt of the sword in his hand was already faintly ready to draw his sword. In the end, these people had no choice but to bow down to Wang Mang together. Although Yan Zheng had been kneeling to Wang Mang for a long time before, it was the first time that he suddenly knelt three times and kowtowed to this emperor.

Seeing that everyone had already bowed down to him, Wang Mang laughed, and after a few polite words, under the service of everyone, he sat down in the position where Liu Ying should have been sitting. At that moment, the chief chamberlain in the palace brought out the queen mother's decree, which stated that the crown prince Liu Ying was still young, his qualifications were dull and stubborn, and he did not have the talent to govern the world. And looking at it, none of the Liu royal family has the ability to govern the country. For the sake of the livelihood of the world, the queen mother asked the prince's opinion and was willing to follow the example of the ancient sages. The Han family of the world Zen was conceded to Emperor Wang Mang, but the emperor was benevolent and conceded three times. In the end, under the kneeling and pleading of the queen mother and the crown prince, Wang Mang reluctantly accepted the Zen concession. From now on, the world is no longer the world of the Liu family, and it has changed hands and changed the surname of Zhang.

Although he had already guessed what was written on it, when it was read out from the head of the inner chamberlain, it still surprised the civil and military officials who were not in the same stream.

In the end, Wang Mang said a few more polite words. said a few words about how he did not accept the throne, and finally under the repeated pleas of the queen mother, he was reluctant to stand for a few years, and after finding someone more capable than himself in the future, he also had to learn from the ancient sages and give up the throne again.

After the kind words, Wang Mang announced that the country name would be changed to a new one. From this day on, the Han Dynasty established by Liu Bang was replaced by Wang Mang's new dynasty. After announcing the establishment of the new dynasty, Wang Mang accepted the worship of civil and military officials on the throne, and after all the things were over, the founding emperor of the new dynasty named the crown prince Liu Ying as the Duke of Ding'an. Then the crying Anding Gong was taken away by the nurse.

The process went smoothly from beginning to end, but at the end of the offering of the jade seal, a little change occurred. The jade seal of the country was collected by Wang Mang's aunt, Wang Zhengjun, the empress of the Han Yuan Emperor. In front of the full tide of civil and military, Wang Zhengjun, who was holding the jade seal and went to the court, scolded Wang Mang. Wang Mang, the emperor of the new dynasty who had just ascended the throne, scolded him bloody, Wang Zhengjun was Wang Mang's aunt, and it was with this relationship that Wang Mang went from a relative to his current position step by step. Although he is now the emperor of the new dynasty, Wang Mang still does not dare to offend this aunt easily.

When he was the most excited, Wang Zhengjun held the jade seal of the country in his hand high above his head and fell down to the ground. Pity this heirloom jade seal carved from He's Bi was smashed to the ground, and a corner was broken into pieces......

After a farce ended, Yan Zheng returned home and told the story as it was. Wu Mian, who was half-lying on the couch, laughed coldly and said, "Landlord, this time I played a good chess hand......
