The black clouds turned over the ink and did not cover the mountains, and the white rain jumped into the boat.

The wind blows and blows away, and the water under the lake is like the sky.

The convoy traveled for an hour and finally arrived at the legendary Shanglin Garden. Although Du Wu had seen the introduction of Shanglin Yuan on TV, when he really arrived here, he found that Shanglin Yuan was not ordinary. The wall that could not be seen at a glance was like a big city, just in front of the galloping road. Captain Shui Heng had already received a notice that the emperor was coming, and led a group of subordinates from Shanglin Yuan to kneel in front of the car.

Shanglin Yuan was founded in the Qin Dynasty. After Qin destroyed the Six Kingdoms, Ying Zheng moved all the 120,000 wealthy families of the Six Kingdoms to Xianyang, and built Shanglin Yuan on the south bank of Weishui. Ten years later, Qin Shi Huang built the Afang Palace in Shanglin Yuan, but unfortunately it was destroyed by Xiang Yu when Chu and Han fought for hegemony. Shanglin Yuan has also been damaged to varying degrees. After the founding of the Han Dynasty, Emperor Gaozu once returned the old Qin Yuan Yuan Pond to a private field. Emperor Xiaowu has expanded Shanglin Yuan many times, and now Shanglin Yuan has reached more than 300 miles, that is, Dawan's famous horse needs two hours to run a lap. In addition, there are eight rivers flowing through it, such as Wei, Jing, Feng, Waterlogging, Wei, Zhu, Chan and Ba, the craftsmen are close to the mountains and rivers, and have built four large pools such as Kunming Pond, Ying'e Pond, Lin Pond, Taiye Pond, etc., and 18 large and small palaces such as Zhangzhaotai have been built, because they are too big, 12 garden gates have been built.

Shui Heng Duwei obviously wanted to curry favor with Du Wu, the popular man around the emperor, and followed behind Emperor Ping and Du Wu, and explained the history of Shanglin Yuan to Du Wu.

Standing on the top floor of Jianzhang Palace, looking into the distance, pavilions, pavilions, landscapes, grasses and trees, all of them are pleasing to the eye, Du Wu praised: "Sure enough, it is the beautiful scenery of eight rivers around Chang'an!" ”

Captain Shui Heng hurriedly flattered: "What the doctor said is extremely true, and what he said is extremely true. ”

Emperor Ping changed his hunting costume and took Du Wu straight to the horse view. Du Wu hesitated in his heart, his level of horseback riding is really not good, what if the emperor wants him to hunt after a while?

After all, it was too much to worry about, Emperor Ping was only fourteen years old, he had grown up in the palace for a long time, and he didn't know anything about bow and horse martial arts. The two of them watched the Yulin riders shoot arrows with bows and arrows by the Taiye Pool, shoot deer or roe deer one by one, and then roar away on horseback.

Du Wu pondered for a moment and interrupted Emperor Ping, who was watching with great interest: "Your Majesty, the minister has a word, I don't know whether to say it or not." ”

"My teacher has training, and as a disciple, I naturally obey everything, please show it to the master." Since learning that he could be pro-government, Emperor Ping was in a good mood.

"Your Majesty, at present, the monarch is weak and the minister is strong, and you should be more careful about pro-government affairs. If Zai Heng is in trouble, how should His Majesty respond? There are not many courtiers who are on His Majesty's side! ”

"I am the Son of Heaven, when the Son of Heaven is angry, the blood is flowing, and when the time comes, there will be rewards and punishments, and I am not afraid that they will not stand on my side. Master, you have to be more attentive, I plan to make you Situ Changshi, and on the surface to assist Kong Guang in handling political affairs, but in fact, it is for my internal response. It's a pity that you have been in the court for too short, I once asked the Empress Dowager to make you the imperial historian, and was reprimanded by the Empress Dowager, alas, since then I want to be in power. Emperor Ping waved his small hand and said a little decadently.

Du Wu listened to it, and suddenly felt his heart beat, Emperor Ping is really still a child, if he really did what he said, he became a doctor of imperial history, wouldn't it become a faction of the imperial party, and he had to be regarded as a thorn in the flesh by Wang Mang and others.

Du Wu gave a slight salute: "Thank Your Majesty for your trust." The minister has no merits, and he is not from a famous family, so he would never dare to think about the position of the third duke. Even the current official position of this doctor is also trembling. ”

Emperor Ping didn't leave the hunting ground with his eyes, and said to himself: "Master, everything is fine, but he is too humble." Don't you hear that you are full of tricks and humble benefits? ”

Du Wu smiled dumbly, this sentence was taught to him by himself, and now he will learn and use it, this little emperor is really smart enough.

At this time, more than a dozen white horses roared over, and the two stopped talking, watching Shanglin Ling lead people to pick up the prey shot down by the Yulin riders one by one, and present them to Emperor Ping, waiting for the reward.

To Du Wu's surprise, when the Empress Dowager announced her withdrawal from the Linzhao Dynasty to listen to politics and return to power, Wang Mang and his party did not oppose it, which surprised Du Wu.

At the great court meeting on the fifth day, Du Wu stood outside the Weiyang Palace and listened to the sound of the report in the main hall. If Emperor Ping is really pro-government, then Situ Changshi is a high-ranking official than Qianshi, and he is qualified to enter the palace to discuss matters. Besides, Da Situ Kongguang's health has been getting worse and worse recently, and he is not in the court today, so won't he be able to participate in this court in the future? Thinking of this, I don't know if it's a blessing or a curse. During this time, he has experienced a lot of things, seen a lot of warmth and coldness, experienced life and death, and wanted to leave this big whirlpool, but he couldn't escape at all.

In the Weiyang Palace, Wang Zhengjun asked the director of the Yellow Gate to read the edict of retiring from power and returning to the emperor, and decided to build an altar in the north of Chang'an City ten days later to hold a pro-government ceremony for Emperor Ping.

The ministers shouted long live, and Du Wu had no choice but to kneel down.

After the salute, Wang Mang went out of the class to play: "Qi Empress Dowager, Qi Qi Your Majesty: Since ancient times, the Son of Heaven has been pro-government, and the pro-government ceremony must be heard by heaven." The old minister thought that he should set up a Ming Hall, build a spiritual platform, and open a sacrifice ceremony to worship the ancestors and announce to the subjects of the world. Mingtang, the university of the country. Those who live on the spiritual platform are also the places where they observe the heavens. The old minister will be in charge of Taizhong doctor Liu Xin. He was a scholar of the dynasty and had studied the astronomical calendar, which made him competent for this position. ”

Wang Zhengjun nodded: "Doctor Taizhong's research results are famous all over the world, and the person recommended by Zai Heng is very reasonable. Just follow the play. ”

Wang Mang continued: "In this case, please choose an auspicious day in the middle of the next month to hold a sacrifice ceremony, and tell the heavens, the first emperor, and the people. After the ministers dispersed, they could arrange personnel. ”

As soon as the words fell, Taichang Temple Qing Kuang Xian came out of the class to play: "Zai Heng and slowly arrange personnel, start the Empress Dowager, start your majesty, the minister is the chief official of Taichang Temple, all the temple etiquette, the Son of Heaven sacrifice is arranged by Taichang Temple, so don't bother with Zai Heng." Four days ago, that is, at dusk on the day His Majesty feasted Zai Heng, there was a vision in the sky, and the northwest direction was confused into the moon, and the main emperor star was unstable. That night, the ministers broke into the banquet at night to explain the matter, but they were forcibly dragged out by the guards of Zai Heng's order. The minister is the head of the Jiuqing, and the food is 2,000 stones, that is, His Majesty will punish the minister, and he will also be handed over to the court governor's mansion for trial according to the law, how can Zai Heng do such nonsense! And the glow of confusion into the moon is a vision of a catastrophe, and it needs to be moved to the phase. In the second year of Emperor Xiaocheng's Suihe in this dynasty, Prime Minister Zhai Fangjin committed suicide and martyrdom, but Zhai Fangjin was shallow in virtue and shallow in his virtues, and only won a month's blessing for Emperor Xiaocheng. Today, Zai Heng is highly respected, and Enwei is the best candidate for phase shifting, please think twice. ”

There was a sudden uproar in the main hall. This is clearly to make people die, and the words are so high-sounding, it is really worthy of being a famous minister. These two people, one is Zai Heng, who is above the three princes, and the other is the head of Jiuqing. One is a high-ranking imperial relative, and the other is the spiritual leader of Confucianism, and neither of them will let anyone give half a point. The crowd began to exchange glances with each other in the crowd, ready to take sides at any moment.

Seeing the little yellow door walking towards him, Tai Shi Ling sighed helplessly, and followed into the main hall: "Qi Song Empress Dowager, Qi Song Your Majesty: At dusk four days ago, the northwest direction of Luoyang was confused into the moon, this matter was seen by Wei Chen with his own eyes, and reported Kuang Taichang for the first time. The moon phase lasted for half an hour, and all the subordinate officials of Taishi witnessed it with their own eyes, and there was no lie. Glowing confusion is a fierce star, the main soldier, famine, epidemic, etc. The glow is displaced, and the main emperor star is unstable. Taishi Gong specifically mentioned in the "Taishi Gongshu" written: Yingfu is bad, the outside is to manage the soldiers, and the inside is to manage the government. Therefore, it is said: Although there is a son of tomorrow, it must be seen where the confusion is. "Shi's Star Classic" is also called it: the adult changes the government, and the lord goes to his palace. You have to be on guard. In the thirty-sixth year of the first emperor of the previous dynasty, the first emperor guarded his heart, and the following year, the first emperor died in the Dune Palace. In the second year of Emperor Xiaocheng of this dynasty, Emperor Xiaocheng guarded his heart, and the following year, Emperor Xiaocheng died in Weiyang Palace. Therefore, the displacement of the glow confusion is really a great omen! So saying, he fell on the ground and did not dare to get up.

Speaking of which, Tai Shiling also hated Kuang Xian a little. I am a person who looks at astronomy, there are visions in the sky, and my duty is only to report the visions, as for the rights and wrongs of the back, it is natural for those with blue and purple ribbons to fight for life and death, and what to do with themselves, the six hundred stone copper seal and black ribbon person, if you don't do it, your head may not be protected!

This time, everyone's voices were louder, and Wang Zhengjun waved his hand and motioned for everyone to calm down. Seeing this, Wang Shun immediately went out and said: "Qiyu Empress Dowager, Qiqi Your Majesty, Kuang Taichang's words are worth studying. With only three words and two stories of this Taishi Ling, Zai Heng, who saved the people from fire and water, was put in danger, which was not the act of the Holy Monarch. In the thirty-sixth year of the first emperor of the previous dynasty, there was indeed a glow in Dongjun to guard the heart, and then a stone tablet was unearthed, which was engraved: The first emperor died and divided. The minister is not talented, and recently got a report, which is on the Fufeng County Gong Cao Shi Shen Tugang, saying that a stone tablet was unearthed in Fufeng County, and it was engraved: Emperor Anhan Gongzuo Dazhi. This is the will of God, please bring this monument to the palace, please enjoy it. ”

When Emperor Ping heard this rare thing, he was happy: "Quasi-play!" Wang Zhengjun glanced at Emperor Ping, and suddenly felt that it didn't seem to be a particularly wise thing to return to the government.

The bored Du Wu stuck in the "Guanshan is difficult to cross, who is sad and lost the way, Pingshui meets" has been a long time ago, his brain is about to explode, just want to look up at the sky, just saw several Nangong guards carry a stone tablet up, the stone tablet attached to a piece of silk, passed by Du Wu's side was blown up by the wind, engraved with a few words: Emperor Dazhi, painted with black lacquer, looks a little sloppy, some paint sprinkled on the outside of the word.

What does this mean? Du Wu was puzzled. Could it be that it is used during the festival? Emperor Ping couldn't help but show off to his ministers first?

Alas, it has nothing to do with me anyway, so let's continue to think about what I didn't memorize just now. What's behind the meeting of Pingshui? At the beginning, this "Preface to King Teng's Pavilion" was memorized very well, why can't I remember it today?

On the top of the main hall, everyone looked at the stone tablet with fresh pen and ink but slightly stained with soil, and their hearts suddenly understood. When it comes to building momentum, no one can compare to Wang Mang, this must be the masterpiece of Wang Mang's minions.

Sure enough, Kuang Xian took the lead in standing up: "The Empress Dowager Qi, Your Majesty, this monument is a new work at first glance, the paint is still new, it must have been arranged in advance by Zai Heng in order to get out, please check it out to Your Majesty." ”

Wang Shun smiled, stood up and shouted at Kuang Xian: "Kuang Taichang take a good look at where this stone tablet was unearthed, it is Fufeng County, and it was just reported by Fufeng County Gong Cao Shi Shentu." All colleagues know that just half a year ago, because of Zai Heng's name, Zai Heng didn't care about it, he had no fear, and impeached Zai Heng three times in a row. I would like to ask Lord Taichang, how can such a person be bought, and what should be used to buy it? ”

"This ......" Kuang Xian was speechless for a moment. Shen Tugang's impeachment of Wang Mang is well known to the whole dynasty, and he once praised him in front of people for this. To say that Shen Tu just took refuge in Wang Mang, this is impossible in any case. But the stele was found on someone's territory, and it was Shen Tugang himself who reported the matter, which is really a bit confusing.

At this time, Wang Mang walked unhurriedly to the stele and took a look, and couldn't help but praise Galangal in his heart. This son is really a bit level.,No wonder you have to ask me who I hate the most before acting.,This is to fake the hands of others.,And it's also an enemy.。 This hand alone is enough to praise.

Wang Mang glanced at the ministers, and everyone lowered their heads unconsciously. Wang Mang saluted and said: "Qi the Empress Dowager, Qi Your Majesty." The old minister thinks that there is a spirit in heaven and does not punish the innocent. The minister is loyal to the Empress Dowager and His Majesty, and has no two hearts. And the day before yesterday, Yingfu did not guard his heart, but entered the moon, one guarded and one entered, and the gap was big. And His Majesty is not a mediocre king, and always has great ambitions. The old minister is already satisfied to serve by His Majesty's side, how dare he beg him! For His Majesty's pro-government plan, the old minister specially made the "Book of Filial Piety" for His Majesty's domestication of his subjects. The old minister is willing to personally supervise the construction of the Mingtang mourning platform, so that he can listen to the voice of His Majesty's pro-government as soon as possible. The old minister is also willing to inspect all directions for His Majesty, show His Majesty's benevolence, and ask Your Majesty not to listen to the words of the villain. You're right, the Queen Mother? In the end, he asked Wang Zhengjun directly.

Wang Zhengjun watched the change of position of the host and guest in this battle, and found that Wang Mang was becoming more and more difficult to control, and then looked at Emperor Ping, who was eager to try, and thought about cultivating some strength for Emperor Ping to fight against Wang Mang.

"What Zai Heng said is reasonable, but what Kuang Taichang does is within the scope of his duties, and it is normal for him to have different political opinions, so I am afraid that the words of the villain cannot be talked about."

Wang Mang took a step forward: "What the Queen Mother said is extremely true. Kuang Taichang is indeed the duty, and the old minister also admires Kuang Taichang's knowledge, even if he is wrong, the old minister does not care. It's just that this Taishi Ling reverses black and white, I don't know why, the chaos of the dynasty, the crime is not punishable, please ask the Queen Mother to punish the crime! ”

That Tai Shi Ling was horrified, kowtowed again and again and begged for mercy, and asked Kuang Xian for help, Kuang Xian felt humiliated, and went out of the class to play: "Qi the Empress Dowager, Tai Shi Ling's duty is to take charge of the official ephemeris of the sky, there is a vision in the sky, and it is a dereliction of duty not to report it." Tai Shi Ling only reported the truth in the palace today, and did not impeach Zai Heng, what a crime! If so, please punish Weichen first! ”

Emperor Ping really wanted to cultivate his own people, and said at this time: "What Kuang Taichang said is reasonable, if those who dare to tell the truth are asked, then what future does my Han have?" I thought that Tai Shi Ling was not guilty. ”

Who knew that as soon as the words fell, Wang Shun stood up: "Your Majesty, Taishi Ling is indeed derelict in his duties, it is obviously Yingfu into the moon, but he wants to explain that Yingfu is guarding his heart, isn't it a dereliction of duty?" What's more, the sword is pointed at Dazai, and his wolf ambition can really be punished! Please give your Majesty an order to hand over the Taishi Order to the Imperial Governor's Mansion for punishment! ”

Emperor Ping was angry, he was about to pro-government, but he couldn't even protect a person he wanted to protect, what are these ministers going to do? Do you still want to hold my world hostage!

"Taibao, I said, Taishi Ling is not guilty."

"Your Majesty, whether you are guilty or not is determined by the Tingwei Mansion, and the impeachment of the upper officials by the lower officials is not in line with the way of the ministers. What Taishi Ling did today, where is the Lantai Imperial History, which supervises hundreds of officials, placed? Moreover, His Majesty has not yet been in charge of the government, and this matter is still up to the Empress Dowager to decide. "Anyway, stand upright in the center of the main hall, neither advancing nor retreating.

Emperor Ping stood up directly, said "Wang Shun, you ......" and sat back again.

When the ministers saw it, they knew it in their hearts, and they all stood up: "Please ask the Empress Dowager to decide!" ”

Looking at Na Tai Shi Ling again, he was paralyzed on the ground, his legs trembled, and a smell of urine suddenly permeated the hall.
