In the third year of Yangshuo (22 years ago), in the autumn, this young man named Wang Mang waited for the opportunity of a turn of fate.

Wang Feng is seriously ill.

Seeing that Wang Feng showed no signs of improvement, Wang Feng's brothers and nephews were all planning behind Wang Feng's death to divide the interests, although Wang Feng was bedridden, but his heart was like a mirror, for these relatives, Wang Feng was extremely disappointed, even desperate.

However, at this time, his nephew Wang Mang came over, he didn't say much, but he was full of genuine care.

Wang Feng saw Wang Mang coming, he didn't give him a good face at first, in his memory, Wang Mang's nephew was diligent and thrifty, and he was much better than other unsuccessful nephews, but he came to offer his hospitality this time, and he must have asked for something.

The young Wang Mang was very clear about his uncle's thoughts, and before he came, he warned himself that he must be respectful and sincere. His uncle is also a man, and he has a lot of experience in deception, and if he is careless, he will ruin his good impression in his heart.

Naturally, he asked for something, but he would not say what he asked for, because he knew that what he asked for was too big, and now it was just a stepping stone.

Wang Mang was not afraid of Wang Feng's face, he couldn't untie his clothes, he couldn't sleep at the table, he guarded his uncle's couch day and night, every time there was a decoction, he would taste it himself, and he served Wang Feng carefully, and there was nothing else to say except to say some words of comfort to his uncle.

After more than half a month, Wang Feng was finally moved by Wang Mang's filial piety, put down the majesty of his first minister, and looked at Wang Mang's gaze, like a loving elder.

Wang Mang is still the same, no matter how good or bad Wang Feng is, there is nothing but concern on his face.

"The second brother has a good son! It's a pity he left early... It's hard for you little doll", Wang Feng sighed from time to time.

"Uncle, my father's eldest brother died early, thanks to the care of my uncle and several uncles, I am where I am today, and now, my uncle is sick, and my little nephew is filial, which should be." Wang Mang's words revealed sincerity, and Wang Feng nodded again and again.

From this moment on, Wang Feng had the idea of appointing Wang Mang after his illness recovered.

Two months have passed in a blink of an eye, and in the past two months, Wang Mang has almost never left, looking haggard, and Wang Feng is also heartbroken, he has asked Wang Mang several times to go back to recuperate and be taken care of by his subordinates here. Wang Mang stubbornly stayed.

After tasting countless decoctions, Wang Feng's illness did not improve, but became more and more serious.

Liu Biao came to visit Wang Feng many times when he was seriously ill.

This time, he came again, asked about his condition, and knew that Wang Feng's time was running out. He sat in front of Wang Feng's couch, holding his uncle's hand tightly, and couldn't help but shed tears.

Liu Biao has been very close to this uncle since he was a child, so he entrusted the government to him.

Wang Feng felt the tears, opened his eyes from half-asleep and half-awake, and said weakly: "Yes, it is Your Majesty who is here, forgive the old man... The old minister can't greet each other. ”

When Liu Biao heard this, he was even more sad.

He hurriedly said, "Uncle, I... This time I came to ask..."

Liu Biao suddenly paused, he really didn't dare to ask, for fear of triggering Wang Feng's illness.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty... I want to ask... You want to ask me if I die, who... Who can continue? ”

Liu Biao nodded lightly with tears in his eyes.

Wang Feng coughed weakly a few times and replied: "Your Majesty, the younger brothers of Wang Tan and other ministers are arrogant, and only Wang Yin, the imperial historian, is up to the task. Surrender to the death to protect it. ”

Liu Biao was very moved when he heard that Wang Feng did not protect his own brother, but he protected his cousin, but he didn't expect that this uncle would put the country first when he died. He didn't know that Wang Feng had a bad relationship with his younger brothers, but he and Wang Yin were like father and son.

Liu Biao nodded, and agreed to the recommendation.

"In addition, the minister has something to ask Your Majesty, and I hope Your Majesty agrees."

"Uncle, please speak, I promise."

"Your Majesty, the little nephew Wang Mang, frugality, benevolence and filial piety, is a talent that can be created, and His Majesty can appoint him."

Liu Biao had no reason not to agree at this time, so he nodded fiercely, and before returning to the palace, he comforted him again.

More than ten days later, Wang Feng felt that the last moment was coming, and ordered someone to write a book, recommending Wang Yin as the great Sima and the general of the chariot cavalry. At the same time, Wang Mang is also mentioned in the book.

After doing this last thing, Wang Feng died in August.

Liu Biao adhered to Wang Feng's last wish and appointed Wang Yin as the general of the Grand Sima Chariot Cavalry in September of that year. In order to appease the dissatisfaction of Wang Feng's younger brother Wang Tan, who had coveted Sima Liangliang for a long time, Wang Tan was given special entry and was in charge of the city gate troops.

However, Wang Tan did not accept this position at the suggestion of Anding Taishou Gu Yong, and made it clear to the new Grand Sima Wang Yin's face.

Wang Yin and Wang Tan's resentment deepened because of this.

And Wang Mang also obtained his first position after Wang Feng's death, Huangmenlang.

No matter what, Wang Mang finally took the first step.

His life principle of putting forbearance first was even more impressed by another uncle, Chengdu Hou Wang Shang (the same name as the former prime minister Wang Shang but a different person), and Wang Shang also became another helping figure for Wang Mang.

Wang Mang's matter is put aside for the time being, for him, the road to officialdom is just the beginning, his road is still very long, and no one can predict what heights he will reach. However, as long as people who have come into contact with Wang Mang, they will come to a conclusion, that is, "This son is extraordinary." ”

The new Grand Sima Wang Yin was in an awkward position.

He is just the cousin of the Queen Mother, but he can hold the first authority, which will naturally cause dissatisfaction and blush among the other clansmen of the Wang family.

Wang Feng's younger brothers didn't have a good face to show Wang Yin.

In this regard, Wang Yin had long been mentally prepared, he only hoped that these cousins would not cause trouble for him, but he did not plan that they would help him.

Wang Yin is a loyal person, he doesn't have as much thirst for power as Wang Feng, he only hopes to do his own thing, and he doesn't want to care about the rest.

Therefore, Wang Yin's strategy is to be cautious and try to get along with his cousins.

As a result, everyone gradually lost their opinions, the government was much smoother, and there were fewer battles between the DPRK and China. As a result, Liu Biao's life became more leisurely.

Liu Biao is good at wine, this is a well-known thing. The days in the palace were tired, and he learned from Emperor Wu again, and he liked to go out of the palace in micro-clothes.

He often calls himself the family of the Marquis of Fuping when he goes out of the palace, the Marquis of Fuping, named Zhang Fang, is the great-grandson of Emperor Xuan's famous minister Zhang Anshi, who is extremely handsome, and because Zhang Fang married the sister of Queen Xu, the two are relatives, Zhang Fang mainly accompanies Liu Biao to fight cocks, go to horses, eat, drink and have fun, and serve the close ministers of private visits, so he is also the number one person in Chang'an City, and he is a celebrity in front of the emperor.

Wang Yin couldn't stand Liu Biao's behavior of traveling often, he vaguely felt that Liu Biao would one day play fire if he continued to play like this, he had advised Liu Biao many times, but Liu Biao was in the left ear and out of the right ear, and it was not a matter of fact.

Wang Yin's premonition soon came true, and Liu Biao really played with fire.

During the Hongjia period (20 years ago-17 years ago), Liu Biao traveled on micro-services again.

When the eunuchs in the harem learned that the emperor was nowhere to be seen, Liu Biao was already at ease in Princess Yang'a's house.

History is always strikingly similar.

When Princess Yang'a was entertaining Liu Biao with good wine and food, a group of beautiful women walked to the lobby and entertained the distinguished guests with singing and dancing.

Liu Biao's eyes have never left one of the women since these beauties came in. I saw that this woman's face was extremely beautiful, with a slender waist, dancing posture, she was slender and beautiful, elegant and charming, just like the nine-day fairy, a dance step, a smile was enough to make Liu Biao addicted.

Liu Biao even forgot to eat the wine, and looked at the beauties on the dance floor blankly, which made Princess Yang'a chuckle again and again.

"Who is this woman?" Liu Biao asked.

"This woman's surname is Zhao, her name is Feiyan, and she is a dancer in my house."

"Feiyan, good name, good name." Liu Biao was in a good mood, took a sip of the cow and drank it, wiped his lips and said to Princess Yang'a: "I want to ask the princess for this girl, can I?" ”

"Look at what Your Majesty says, if Your Majesty likes it, it is also an honor for this princess." Princess Yang's eyes were still rippling with smiles.

The next day, Zhao Feiyan was sent to Zhaoyang Palace.

Zhao Feiyan's life has embarked on another unknown path that everyone envies.
