After the celebration, the palace of the prosperous Southern Song Dynasty was not peaceful, and the old ministers wrote to impeach Wang Mang for thinking that he did not know the etiquette and should be severely punished to set an example; Some young officials and scholars held the opposite view, believing that Wang Mang was talented and ambitious and should be put to good use.

Of course, the so-called words of the national scholars can only be postponed with inconclusive conclusions.

The emperor sat in the imperial study and listened to the quarrel outside, but his heart was bored, he knew that no matter what decision he made, it would cause an uproar, and this young Wang Mang was destined to become an existence that could not be ignored in the Southern Song Dynasty.

As for how to deal with it, the emperor didn't know how to deal with it for a while, Wang Mang wrote poems in public, and the sensation caused by it naturally became a celebrity, and he was no longer a folk boy.

At this time, Wang Mang had already returned to the small mountain village by the lake. He didn't know that his poems had caused such a sensation in the Southern Song Dynasty, and he didn't know that there was a lot of quarrel in the palace because of his affairs. is still living a leisurely life like the past, and when it is time to go to school, go to school. It's just that the school lacks a master, and it is said that he returned to his hometown to recuperate in old age.

The Lord of the Seven Counties and Miss Li looked at the domineering young man in front of him at the celebration, like a young man with an indifferent expression, and they were full of emotion in their hearts.

Although Miss Li had persuaded her not to get too close to her family after seeing Wang Mang's actions, how could the girl's heart be indifferent because of the family's opposition. Whether it was because of business at home or not, or something else, the daily school got along with her, and she understood that this teenager was not as simple as it seemed on the surface.

In front of the lord of the country, hundreds of officials, countless literary tycoons, his poems, his words, and his bearing all show that he is not an ordinary teenager.

"Wang Mang, what kind of person are you?" The Lord of the Seven Counties couldn't help but ask one day.

Wang Mang smiled slightly and said, "County Lord, I'm just an ordinary teenager, and there's nothing special about it. ”

"How can an ordinary teenager write a poem like that?" The Lord of the Seven Counties obviously did not believe Wang Mang's statement, "Your poem has far-reaching meanings, expressing deep worries and expectations for the country, which is not something that an ordinary teenager can write." ”

Wang Mang was silent for a moment, and then said: "This is all taught well by the masters, and the angle of view is different. ”

The days didn't seem to have changed because of Wang Mang's pride and creation, but the three of Jin Long knew how fierce the debate was in the imperial city of the Southern Song Dynasty at this time. They are all secretly speculating whether this Wang Mang will be that Wang Mang, and the evolution of the new blue star has not yet allowed them to see people similar to Wang Mang. It's just that in this Wang Mang, he seems to see the young man who is obsessed with calligraphy that was brought out by Song Pingcun in the Blue Star back then.

They are all waiting, waiting to see if Wang Mang will suddenly rise or wake up one day, or even a moment when everyone is suddenly in the limelight, and this kind of moment is obviously not possible in the current Southern Song Dynasty, it is peaceful and peaceful, and it is more peaceful than the emperor star of the year.

Until one day, a guard of the seven county lords hurriedly came in from outside the private school hall, first saluted the seven county lords, and then greeted the master and said: "County lord, someone has come to the palace, saying that His Majesty the Emperor wants to summon Wang Mang." ”

The school hall was suddenly silent, and the Seven County Lords and Wang Mang were stunned, not knowing what the emperor was calling Wang Mang at this time. The Seven County Lord looked at Wang Mang, a look of worry flashed in his eyes, although this young man had a lot of etiquette at the celebration that day, but after all, it was a square with thousands of empty alleys, and it didn't have to be normal to enter the palace, and ordinary people were already stunned when they saw that momentum.

However, Wang Mang looked as usual, he smiled slightly at the seven county lords, and said, "Don't worry about the county lords, the lord of the country, Corporal Lixian, use please." ”

After saying that, he turned around and saluted his master, and followed the guards out of the school. The Seven County Lords watched his back disappear at the door, but he was uneasy in his heart, and hurriedly took leave and followed.

In the palace, the emperor sat in the imperial study and looked at the young man in front of him, and he also had mixed feelings in his heart, he knew that he had summoned Wang Mang this time not for any good purpose, but to test the young man's bottom line and attitude.

"Wang Mang, are you guilty?" The Emperor suddenly asked in a cold voice.

Wang Mang was slightly stunned, then bowed down and said, "Why did Your Majesty say this?" When the grass people are speechless about the rights and wrongs of others, if they are guilty, Your Majesty invites sinners? ”

"You're not guilty?" The emperor sneered, "You wrote such a poem at the celebration, which is clearly satirizing the imperial court's contempt for imperial power!" Do you still dare to say innocent? ”

Wang Mang's heart sank, he knew that the emperor was deliberately finding fault and wanted to give himself a disadvantage. However, he was not afraid, he raised his head and looked directly into the emperor's eyes and said, "Your Majesty is aware that the grass people have no such intentions. The lord of the country asks for the most. Then the lord of the country should first be a demagoguery, saying that the foundation of the country does not seek to look up to the mountains, but it is really disrespectful. ”

The emperor looked at Wang Mang's eyes and suddenly found that there was no fear or retreat in the eyes of this young man, but a kind of firmness and calmness. He even put a charge on himself, which was bold enough, and his heart moved, since he was bold, then I will let you taste the result of boldness. If you really have the talent to govern the country, you will be promoted. If it's an empty child, then it's going to be left to fend for itself.

The emperor asked, and it was not the courtier's turn to speak. But after Wang Mang finished speaking, the emperor was silent, and an old minister stood up, pointed at Wang Mang and said, "Your Majesty, this son is quibbling!" Not only satirize the court through poetry! It is really a great rebellion to speak in vain, please punish Your Majesty severely! ”

"Old man, are you really stupid or are you old and confused?" Wang Mang didn't wait for the emperor to speak, and also pointed to this old minister and said: "There are people who speak well on the side of the king, and the king is good at listening; There are discerning people on the side of the king, and the gentleman is understanding; There are treacherous people on the side of the king, and the king's heart is unpredictable. One bite at a time, are you a king or a minister? ”

"You ......" the old minister was speechless. He can't rely on any of them, let alone dare to rely on them. Because such words can only be said when the emperor is not there, who dares to say anything in front of the emperor.

The emperor looked at the young man's tongue and pressed the old minister, not really higher than the old minister, but dared to speak, and the old minister had too many concerns and had a lot to say. If he is unfortunate enough to enter what Wang Mang said, he will be a faint one. Because he did not pursue Wang Mang's words, but said: "Since you speak the way of the king, if you are the king, what will the world think?" ”

"Your Majesty!" The ministers were frightened one by one, and they all knelt down.

The emperor raised his hand to stop them from continuing, and looked at Wang Mang.

A large group of ministers kneeling behind them were all like frost at this time, and Wang Mang dared to answer, it was really a big rebellion.

But Wang Mang, who was rebellious, really opened his mouth and answered, "For the monarch and the world, 'harmony' should be the top." And the people's heart, and all things, and the future, have a forward-looking vision, and have the determination to break the future. Carry a lifetime of infamy, and create a great cause for thousands of generations! ”

"Bold, simply disobedient!" The ministers all gasped, and some couldn't help but open their mouths to spray Wang Mang directly. This is no longer just if you are a "king", this is really a "king".

However, the emperor did not get angry immediately, he looked at Wang Mang deeply, and then waved his hand to silence the ministers. He knew in his heart that although the young man's words were bold, they were not unreasonable. As a monarch, you really need to plan for the world, and you need forward-looking vision and firm determination. And this teenager seems to have such vision and determination.

"What do you mean by 'and'?" The Emperor asked in a deep voice.

Wang Mang smiled slightly and explained: "'Harmony' is not only the meaning of peace, but also harmony, harmony and harmony. The people's will determines the rise and fall of the country, and the growth of all things depends on the harmony of heaven and earth, and the future development needs to adapt to the changes of the times. The monarch should take 'harmony' as the criterion, govern the country, appease the people, conform to nature, and create a prosperous world. ”

After hearing this, the emperor was silent for a long time, and then said slowly: "Your opinion is unique, but I don't know how you realized this 'harmony' in your heart?" ”

Wang Mang said confidently: "The knife hangs in the heart, and the country is governed by the sword." ”

At this moment, there are already ministers who have the impulse to step forward and kill this arrogant Wang Mang. Dare to say such a big rebellion!

What is Knife? The sword is the king of weapons! Wang Mang is to build a kingdom with the momentum of the king in the weapon, and bring the already peaceful kingdom of the king into war.

The emperor also frowned when he heard this, and the eight words Wang Mang said seemed to be exactly the same as the poems he wrote at the celebration.

However, Wang Mang's words did not stop there, and continued: "The blade is inward, the chaos of governing the country, the blade is outward, and the security of the country is governed!" ”

At this moment, a guard hurriedly came in and reported: "Your Majesty, the Lord of the Seven Counties asks to see you." ”
