The prince must be determined, and the hearts of the people are settled. Use the reader to watch thousands of copies, completely ad-free!

Liu Biao is also a little glorious, he has been worried about the problem for many years, but he didn't expect it to be solved so quickly, there are no waves at all, to say something ugly, it is really fucking smooth.

Liu Biao can rest assured to enjoy his gentle hometown.

In the first year of Suihe (8 years ago), in October, Wang Gen was spared due to physical discomfort.

The position of the top leader of the imperial court is vacant again, which makes many people eager to try.

From the establishment to the present, the position of Da Sima is basically held by the emperor's relatives and relatives, and it is difficult for ordinary three princes and nine secretaries to have this opportunity.

Therefore, the number of candidates for the Great Sima can still be seen.

Wang Gen's generation, no one was elected.

Wang Gen's next generation, Wang Mang is a talent, but he has always been humble and light-hearted, not like a character who can shake the field, but not as good as a few of his cousins, who have long been fox friends all over the government and the opposition.

The other one is not from the Wang family, but he is a celebrity in front of the Queen Mother, Emperor and Empress, his name is Chun Yuchang. Chun Yu's father is not a character, but his wife is the sister of the Queen Mother. He and Liu Biao are cousins.

This kind of identity is there, and it will not be worse than the Wang family.

The most important thing is that Chun Yuchang has a flexible brain, Wang Feng was seriously ill that year, and there were two young people who waited the most diligently, one of them was Wang Mang, and the other was Chun Yuchang.

Before Wang Feng died, a gust of wind blew on Liu Biao, and his nephew Chun Yuchang was able to obtain the position of captain, while his nephew Wang Mang only obtained the position of Huangmenlang.

Chun Yuchang later made a contribution to Zhao Feiyan's establishment and won the favor of Liu Biao and the Zhao sisters. Therefore, as soon as Zhao Feiyan became the queen, Chun Yuchang obtained the fat shortage of Shui Heng Duwei, which was regarded as a reward for his efforts. Chun Yuchang was rewarded by Liu Biao for opposing the repair of Changling and allowing the people to return to their hometowns, and was awarded the title of Inner Marquis.

By the time Wang Gen was spared from illness, Chun Yuchang had already achieved one of the guards of the Nine Qings, which could be described as a high and powerful position.

Compared with Wang Mang's deliberately low-key, Chun Yuchang can be described as a character in Chang'an City, who calls for wind and rain and is exquisite. Moreover, Chun Yuchang has a wide range of contacts, Prime Minister Zhai Fangjin calls him a brother and sister, the magnates of Chang'an, the princes of other counties, and the assassin history all befriend him.

Therefore, if nothing else, Chun Yuchang will be the most popular candidate for Da Sima.

On the other hand, Wang Mang, although he inherited the title of Marquis of Xindu, and now he has also mixed with the position of a servant and a doctor of Guanglu, but although he has a good reputation, he makes friends with scholars, and he is incompatible with the extravagant Chang'an dignitaries, so he has no reputation and no strength, so he has almost no threat to Chun Yuchang.

What Chun Yuchang really cares about is his uncle Wang Li. Wang Li was guilty of selling farmland in the past, and after so many years, perhaps Liu Biao has long forgotten the past of Chen Gu's rotten sesame seeds.

Similarly, in Wang Li's view, there is still hope for himself.

When he saw that Chun Yuchang's call to succeed Da Sima was getting louder and louder, he suddenly realized that he had missed his post with Da Sima back then, and he might be suspected of Chun Yuchang stabbing him in the back.

Wang Mang and Wang Li, like Wang Li, have relatively slim opportunities, but they can't suppress their desire for the position of Great Sima.

Wang Mang is different from Wang Li, after all, Wang Li has a stain on his back, which is not as good as Wang Mang.

Wang Mang spent a lot of time thinking about this game.

Chun Yu has a long and bad record, and it is not difficult to collect evidence of his crimes.

Wang Mang investigated that he had an affair with the sister of the Changding nobleman (after the abolition of the Xu family), and the sister of the Changding nobleman was Mrs. Long Sihou, whose husband died early and became a widow. Chun Yuchang not only had an affair with her, but also secretly married her as a concubine. He thought that in the name of the nobles of Changding to win over Queen Zuo, he defrauded the nobles of Changding of their money, and often teased the Xu family with letters, and the nobles of Changding have endured it in order to regain their favor. This is one of them, and other things such as corruption and bribery have been countless for a long time.

With Chun Yuchang's incriminating evidence in hand, Wang Mang met Wang Gen in the name of visiting the patient, and was ready to bite Chun Yuchang.

"Chun Yu Chang saw that his uncle was sick, he was very happy, he thought that he would act as an assistant to his uncle, and even made a wish to others to be crowned officials."

Wang Gen knew that the nephew in front of him was an honest man who never took the initiative to speak ill of people, so when he heard this, he believed it, and he said angrily: "In this case, why didn't you say it earlier? ”

"I don't know what my uncle thinks, my nephew doesn't dare to say it!" Wang Mang's face was sincere, and he couldn't see any artificiality.

"Go and tell the Queen Mother."

"Yes."

Wang Mang got Wang Gen's consent and immediately ran to the East Palace to ask to see the Queen Mother.

After seeing the Queen Mother, Wang Mang was not polite, and deliberately added fuel and vinegar to Chun Yuchang.

The Queen Mother turned from anger to sigh and said, "This kid has become so presumptuous! Go and tell the emperor! ”

"Yes."

Liu Biao listened to Wang Mang's report and was also very angry. However, considering that Chun Yuchang was his cousin, he had a meritorious role as a queen back then, and he couldn't bear to punish the crime, so he made a will.

This decree immediately announced that Chun Yuchang had lost his qualification to compete for the Great Sima.

"The holy decree has arrived, and Chun Yu Chang has received the decree!"

"Chun Yu Chang, remove the official, and send the country! Chin this! ”

Chun Yuchang was stunned for a while, he was really confused by the second monk, and he was still bragging to others about how to become a big Sima in the future an hour ago, and now he was driven out of Chang'an.

He reluctantly accepted the holy decree and scolded: "Damn, who stabbed Lao Tzu in the back!" wanted Lao Tzu to find out, and Lao Tzu picked his skin. ”

Seeing the father-in-law who was announcing the decree coming out of the Chunyu Governor's Mansion, a person standing in a dark corner not far away showed a sly smile.

He is Wang Mang.
