Wang Mang is very relieved about what his cronies said, but he also knows very well that there are some things that cannot be rushed, and he must deal with the hidden dangers in the shadows in order to compare the new emperor, and in the future, the entire court, except for the queen mother and the emperor, only what he said is the most effective.

"Haha......" Wang Mang laughed a few times, in a very good mood, "Wait for the business, the official is very relieved, you go and deal with it, the official is waiting for your good news." ”

With the departure of his cronies, Wang Mang's desire to get more became stronger and stronger, if he hadn't been a little rational at this time, he might have already done something impulsive.

Since Wang Mang became the Great Sima, he has not treated his uncle Wang Li with the same respect as before, and from time to time people find fault with him, and his uncle, who didn't care about this, was stopped again.

came to him angrily, "Wang Mang, the old man, as your uncle, treats you well on weekdays, why do you let people find my mistakes, no matter what the old man says, he is also your uncle, why are you so aggressive." ”

Wang Mang, who pretended not to know anything, hurriedly came to Wang Li, very puzzled, "What does uncle mean by this, what did my nephew do wrong, making my uncle so angry, I hope my uncle can tell me directly, don't let my nephew guess......"

Seeing him pretending to be stupid, Wang Li was even more angry, "Wang Mang, one person does things and one person should be, don't pretend to be stupid, those dogs under you have already found the door, you are still embarrassed to pretend to be stupid here, don't think that your aunt will make you a big Sima, you can do anything wrong, and don't take us in your eyes at all......"

Wang Mang immediately cried aggrieved, "Uncle is wronged! If the uncle does not believe what the nephew says, he can follow the nephew into the palace to meet the aunt, and the aunt ......can testify about this matter."

Seeing his aggrieved appearance, Wang Li also had some doubts, after all, Wang Mang grew up with his own eyes, and he was more clear about his character and everything, if he really had different intentions, I am afraid that he would have already set himself as an enemy, how could he leave himself, and besides, he was also angry enough, so he came to ask, if it was really not what he did, then he didn't frame someone.

Just when Wang Li was puzzled, Wang Mang quickly knelt on the ground, frightened Wang Li, and immediately stepped forward to help, "What do you mean?" ”

"Uncle, what I said is that my nephew was negligent and failed to find the reason in time, let my uncle run this trip and wake up my nephew, my uncle is assured that my nephew will always be vigilant in the future, and he will never let this happen again, and I hope my uncle will forgive my nephew this time."

Seeing him apologize so sincerely, Wang Li is not the kind of person who is unforgiving, plus he really doesn't know, he also has the heart to retreat, since staying will only embarrass himself, it is better to leave early.

Wang Li helped him up, and sighed helplessly, "Virtuous nephew, since this incident has happened, my uncle has no other ideas, so I will resign from my official position and return to my hometown with my family, and everything in the Han Kingdom will be handed over to you juniors in the future, remember not to take it lightly, let alone let those people under you deceive and conceal it, otherwise even if you are not a big Sima in the future, it will be difficult for you to get out of the way." ”

Facing his uncle's reminder, Wang Mang agreed on the surface, but in his heart he scoffed, after all, he had never lived through it in his life, how could he be qualified to reprimand himself, and his position was earned by his own efforts, and who could say that he would snatch it away.

Although he was very dissatisfied with what Wang Li said, he still responded respectfully, "What my uncle said is very true, and my nephew must remember it carefully, and he will not disappoint his uncle." ”

Seeing him like this, Wang Li didn't bother anymore, nodded indifferently, and turned around and left quickly.

With Wang Li's disappearing figure, his cousin Wang Shun, who had already come over, snorted dissatisfiedly, "Cousin, my uncle treats you like this, why don't you refute it, after all, everything you do is for the sake of our entire family, he can't turn the corner, why do you still come to find your fault!" ”

Hearing this, Wang Mang looked at his cousin with a cold face, his face was very bad, "Wang Shun, you have to know, this matter of uncle has nothing to do with me, what I want to do is to let the new emperor have the ability to be independent, not to fight with my uncle and them, after all, fighting with them is nothing more than a pain, and let those who watch the excitement get greater benefits, so we must face and heart discord, so that we can confuse them." ”

He didn't understand his cousin's approach before, but when he heard the words, he instantly understood his cousin's approach, "Cousin, it's the younger brother who is shallow, and he has never considered these things, and I hope that my cousin will not ......be weird."

Seeing that he woke up, Wang Mang patted him on the shoulder happily, "Cousin, you are your brother and I are close to you, you have to learn these things in the future, you must not make judgments easily, and you must not disagree with your family, although we have different opinions, but we are both members of the Wang family, we don't have to fight to the death, after all, in a critical moment, we still need them to protect us." ”

Wang Shun, who had already figured it out, not only had a new understanding of his cousin's words, but also admired his cousin's idea very much, after all, he always thought that as long as it was someone who stood in front of them, whether it was a relative or an outsider, he could be annihilated in one fell swoop, and he didn't have to care about the situation, but he never thought that after he encountered something in the future, who would help him.

Fortunately, his cousin reminded him at this time, and he came to his senses and had to plan for his future, after all, the situation was changing too fast at this time, and some things had to be guarded against.

Wang Mang, who didn't know what he was thinking, suddenly thought of something, turned around and quickly went back to the study.

Seeing him leave in a hurry, Wang Shun quickly followed, for fear that he would not be able to learn many things if he was one step late.

Under Wang Mang's deception and operation, the Queen Mother, who had always thought that he was very capable, handed over the heavy responsibility of the new emperor to him with peace of mind.

And in order not to show his hypocrisy, he first increased the rewards for the descendants of the princes, kings and meritorious heroes, and then gave benefits to officials, the common people, and the widows and orphans, and then reduced the taxes so that they would be grateful to him.

If there is a drought or flood, he takes the lead in dealing with it, and only eats vegetarian food and does not eat meat and drinks, and a series of behaviors have attracted more people's support.

What he did made the people embrace, but also made his wolf ambition fully satisfied, in order to get more vanity, he increased the benefits to the people and officials, which also attracted the dissatisfaction of others.

When the Queen Mother saw him dressed again, she frowned helplessly, "Virtuous nephew, this is not a year of disaster, you don't have to eat only vegetarian and no meat, that's not good!" After all, what you have done for the new emperor is too expensive, and if you don't replenish it in time, I'm afraid it will cause irreparable damage. ”
