The scenery of the bamboo fence hut is good, and the Taoist monk hall is not as good as it.

There are times in life when you have to have it, and there are times in life when you don't want it.

Everybody's been busy lately.

Emperor Ping was busy with pro-government affairs, and practiced all kinds of etiquette during the ceremony under the guidance of Tai Changcheng every day, and was meticulous and extremely serious, which made Wang Zhengjun nod with satisfaction every time he came to see him.

Kuang Xian is busier. He is the head of Jiuqing and the head of the Taichang organization. Under Wang Mang's instructions, the pro-government ceremony was set for the eighth day of the ninth month, and it was less than a month to prepare. As soon as Wang Mang's proposal came out that day, it won the approval of the Manchu Dynasty's civil and military, and the sycophant Wang Shun also said that Zai Heng also said that Zai Heng wanted His Majesty to pray to the heavens during the sacrifice to the heavens, and to ask for more life for the Empress Dowager. Kuang Xian and the others under the imperial stairs were shocked when they heard this. Naturally, it is impossible to change the days when the Empress Dowager has acquiesced, so Kuang Xian has been so busy that he can't even go home for half a month.

As for Wang Mang, it seems that he has become the busiest person in the Han Dynasty. Every day, he went to Biyong to discuss the country's plans with the elected Confucian representatives. Xu is that everyone is busy with the ritual, and no one can see whether Zai Heng's sitting in Biyong is in line with royal etiquette.

In this way, the most idle person has become Du Wu. Emperor Ping may not have time to study with Du Wu in the next time, Du Wu simply hid in the west courtyard, looking at the writing every day, although the brush words are still ugly, but they are all written on the bamboo slips, and there is nothing to pay attention to.

Time is empty, and Du Wu's classes have increased again, but he doesn't tell stories much now, especially when facing galangal. He always felt that Galangal's performance in the past few days was a little abnormal, and he often asked him for some historical news of the Shang and Zhou dynasties, and once even mentioned some martial arts secrets, which made him a little confused. However, Gao Liang Jiang saw that he was a little blind, so he didn't dare to ask any more, but just deduced that he thought that the master was erudite and talented, and thought that he must know.

On this day, Du Wu wrote and painted in the study again. Pipa knocked on the door and walked in, saying that the fat cook from Qingfeng Lou came to give a gift to the master, but he refused to leave after giving it away, saying that there was a dish that had not been burned well, and he wanted to ask the master to look at the gift.

Du Wu knew that this was the code he had made with Qingfeng Lou. Under normal circumstances, Du Wu would go to Qingfeng Tower every five days to eat, but in fact, it was to listen to information. If there was urgent information, Qingfeng Lou would send Du Er to meet him at the Great Sima Mansion in the name of asking for cooking skills. As soon as he came back from Qingfeng Tower the day before yesterday, Du Er asked to meet, and there must be important information.

Du Wu put down the pen, scraped the bamboo slip with a knife, called the pipa, asked her to scrape off all the words, and hurried out. As soon as he went out, he met galangal, and Du Wu asked him to go to the side room and wait for a while, and then left.

The reason why I feel at ease to hand it over to Pipa is that the two of them are already husband and wife, and Pipa is full of himself, if there is anyone in this world who will not betray himself in the end, it should be Pipa. Second, the pipa does not know how to read, Du Wu wanted to teach the pipa to recognize words, but unfortunately the pipa did not have the talent in this area, and after learning for three days, he was stunned and could not remember a word, so he gave up first.

Pipa looked at the simplified Chinese characters on the bamboo slips, and his eyes were full of small stars. Her husband always writes some strange words, some words don't even know Shisu, saying that her husband writes a book from heaven, "Dong" is not written like this at all, anyway, she doesn't know the pipa, she thinks that it must be the little lady of Shisu who is lazy and unwilling to read hard before she doesn't know, but the little girl has a hard mouth, so she doesn't want to poke the little girl's careful thoughts.

While it was blowing, Shiso chased Rhubarb in the yard and overturned the table, Rhubarb screamed, Pipa remembered that her husband was about to teach the fat chef cooking secrets, but it couldn't affect it, so she hurriedly went out to call Shiso.

As soon as she walked on her front foot, a figure quietly slipped into the study, and after flipping left and right, her eyes fell on the bamboo slip that Pipa had just thrown down.

Du Er really has important information.

Yesterday evening, Qingfeng Lou was particularly lively for some reason, and the number of guests was half as high as the previous day. Although business has been very good in recent days because of the stay in Chang'an Confucianism, there are still so many people like last night, which made the boss Du Yi happy, and at the same time, he muttered in his heart: Is there something big going to happen?

So he went to the second floor, outside a cubicle, listened for a while, and actually heard a terrible news. The day before yesterday, Fufeng County's Gongcao Shi Shentu was killed on the way to Chang'an. The Governor of Fufeng County was asked to solve the case within a time limit, but the thief Cao Pengshi investigated for two days, and there were no clues, only knowing that the murderer was very sharp, and only one sword pierced the back of the heart, Shen Tu just died on the spot, and nothing was found on his body except for the official seal. An official of 600 stones, wearing an official uniform, walked alone on the official road in the early morning, and was killed by a mysterious person, which really made the people nearby a little frightened. The murderers now kill people regardless of their identities. Now this matter has spread all over the capital, and there is everything to say. Some people say it's a vendetta killing, some say it's a wealth killing, and some people say it's a person who opposed Wang Mang who killed him. Because Shentu Gang had always opposed Wang Mang before, who knew that this time the stele was actually dug up from Fufeng County and escorted to Chang'an by Shentu Gang. This makes some people think that Shen Tugang scolded Wang Mang for the sake of fame, and the fame began to pursue profit, and found that he still followed Wang Mang to spend money, so he began to rejoin Wang Mang, as for why he walked alone on the official road in the early morning, but not many people knew the reason.

Du Yi couldn't help but be a little surprised when he heard this, although he didn't know what impact this matter had on his family master, but the family head was also an official of six hundred stones, what if it was involved? So early this morning, Du Er was sent to pass on information in the name of asking for recipes.

Du Wu understood at once. Since saying goodbye to Kuang Xian Qingfeng Lou, he has been pondering Shen Tugang's abnormal behavior for the past few days, and finally came to a conclusion: Shen Tugang was definitely used as a gun, but he didn't expect the assassination to come so quickly. Shen Tu was walking on the official road early in the morning, and he must have wanted to enter Chang'an to sue the emperor. As a result, he was watched, followed from the moment he moved, and was not killed until he was killed on the official road. This matter will definitely end in the end, because the person behind the scenes must be Wang Mang, or Wang Mang's minions take the initiative to clear the obstacles for Wang Mang.

Thinking of this, Du Wu had a kinship. An upright official was killed like this, it seems that the world is still going to fall into the hands of Wang Mang, is it right or wrong for him to reject Wang Mang like that some time ago, what if he also kills himself?

After sending Du Er away, Du Wu returned to the West Courtyard with some distraction, and was greeted by Galangal. Seeing that Du Wu's face was a little bad, Galangal stepped forward and said, "Master, I didn't rest well last night, and my face looks a little colorless." When Du Wu heard this, he knew that he was a little emotionally disturbed, and replied: "The weather has become cooler recently, and there may have been some colds last night, so the complexion is worse." It's okay, just take a break. ”

Seeing this, Gao Liang Jiang said with a smile: "In this case, the disciple will not disturb the master's rest, and the disciple will come back tomorrow to listen to the teachings." ”

After Galangal left, the pipa came back from outside in a hurry, and saw Du Wu sitting in the courtyard, so he hurriedly came over to help him: "Why is Mr. sitting here, how is it good to catch a cold?" ”

Du Wu smiled: "It's okay. It's just a break. Where have you been? ”

"The little lady took the rhubarb to mess around in the yard, and I was afraid of disturbing the husband's speech, so I drove the rhubarb out with her."

"Oh." Du Wu responded, got up and went back to the study, and asked as he walked, "Have you ever scratched the words I asked you to scratch?" ”

"Ah, I forgot, I was just about to shave, and the rhubarb was screaming in the yard, so I went out to catch the rhubarb."

"What!" When Du Wu heard this, he immediately came over, and entered the study in three steps and two steps, so frightened that the pipa was terrified behind him, and he also followed.

The bamboo slips on the small table are still the same as when they first left, but the first and last words were scraped off, and the others did not move. Pipa walked in and asked timidly, "Sir, slave, slave......"

"Let me ask you, did anyone come in when you left the room?" Du Wu raised his head and stared at the pipa sternly, the pipa was startled, and he knelt on the ground: "No, there really isn't." Sir, the slave is wrong, the slave and the maid dare no more. ”

Du Wu sighed and walked over to help up the pipa: "Didn't I tell you?" Don't call yourself a slave or a maidservant, and don't kneel at every turn. I'm just worried, not really angry. There are some things I write that can be beheaded, so I'm going to be very careful. ”

Pipa knelt on the ground and cried: "The slave is wrong, the slave will never dare again." After that, the slaves and maids guarded this study and did not let anyone in. Don't sell me, sir, please! ”

Du Wu was made laughed at by her, what he said just now was indeed a bit heavy, and besides, no one usually came to his small courtyard, even if he came, he would only come in if he was informed. Did you overreact a little just now? Could it be the reason why I just heard the news of Shen Tugang's death?

Thinking of this, Du Wu felt that he was a little too tired, maybe he was really worried. He picked up the pipa: "Silly girl, how could I sell you, you are my wife, the one who wants to accompany me through my life, besides, the side dishes you make are so delicious, how can I be willing to sell you?" After speaking, he gently scraped the tip of the nose of the lute.

Pipa's tears finally stopped, and he clenched Du Wu's big hand tightly: "The slave is not the wife of the gentleman, the slave and the maid are just the concubines of the gentleman." The slave and maid are willing to be cattle and horses for the husband, and the slave and maid are also willing to learn more and better dishes. Woowoo woo ......"

After all, it was a sixteen-year-old girl, and Pipa finally couldn't help it anymore and still cried. Du Wu took her hand into his arms and patted her on the shoulder. But his eyes went over the desk and fell on the bamboo slips of Xiaoji.

In a quiet room in Biyong, Wang Mang looked at Galangal and put down the brush, then picked up the bamboo slip and read softly: "Shang, hey, what is this character, why are the strokes so concise?" Western Zhou, I don't know this word, this is Zhou, a unified Qin, how can this unified be written like this? Two what? I don't even know this word. Three, is it three? How can it be so concise? Points, well, this word is known to the old man, it is points, and there is no more in the back? ”

"Back to the old man's words, the back was scraped off by a knife, and it was no longer recognizable, and the first word was also scratched off."

After listening to this, Wang Mang looked at both sides carefully, put down the bamboo slips, and looked at Galangal: "Xiaolang, in your opinion, what is written by your teacher, why do you have to scrape it off?" ”

Gao Liang stood up: "Back to the old man's words, the kid has already thought all the way just now, is this the "Xinghe Jue" in the master's mouth?" ”

""Galaxy Jue"? How so? ”

Gao Liang Jiang stood up, walked to the bamboo slip, and pointed to the words "Shang" and "Zhou": "Boss, could these two be the Yin Dynasty where King Dayu was located and the Zhou Dynasty where Jiang Taigong was located in the ancient dynasties?" ”

Wang Mang thought carefully for a moment and felt that it was still a bit far-fetched.

Gao Liang Jiang said: "The disciple once heard the master talk about the "Taishi Gongshu", which has several books, namely the Five Emperors Benji, Xia Benji, Yin Benji, Zhou Benji, Qin Benji, but it is a pity that the disciple is bless, and has not read this book, if according to the record of Taishi Gong, the words that were scraped off in front of Yin should be Xia, Yin is Shang, this master said. Then it makes sense, what is the Western Zhou Dynasty of Xia Shang, the Eastern Zhou Dynasty is divided into two sections, the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, and the Qin and Qin are unified, so it should be "Han" here, but this "Han" character has never been seen, is it another way to write it? ”

Sure enough, one person is short in wisdom and two people in wisdom. Galangal explained, Wang Mang suddenly understood, it turned out that this is a dynasty song, both concise and mysterious, right?

Thinking of this, he asked a little breathlessly, "You say, is this your master's "Xinghe Jue"?" ”

Gao Liang thought for a long time, and then held back a sentence: "The disciple thinks it should be it." ”

"But it's not finished, what's the three? Well? Wait a minute! Wang Mang suddenly discovered the new world.

"Unification of the Qin and Han Dynasty? Where did the two men come from, and what are the three points? What does that mean? ”

Galangal shook his head. He couldn't understand the last sentence, although there were only two words, it seemed even more cold.

Wang Mang sat there and thought about it for a long time, but still couldn't come up with a clue. At the moment, he doesn't care about what's behind the "three points", he cares about the "two Hans". Why the Two Hans? Although he has the idea of being promoted, he does not want to use the national name of "Han". He wanted to use his title to be "new", which was a word he had been thinking about for a long time. Is it really going to be changed to "Han"? If you change to Han, can you still be an emperor? The emperor of the Han family is surnamed Liu, but the surname is Wang. Or can I not be promoted, I can only be Zai Heng or even a certain king, and then continue to take care of this already tattered country for the ancestors of the Liu family?

Who is this Du Wu? What words are left unfinished after him? Can I be an emperor or not? Or be the emperor of the Han family? Also, why did he write so concisely, by the way, the words on the card of unknown material were also very concise. Who is he? Is it possible to predict the future? A series of questions kept swimming in Wang Mang's mind, and he had a headache at this time.
