Wang Mang was well aware of his aunt's good intentions towards him, but he also knew that this was not the time to relax. After all, there were so many people watching him, and if he did one wrong thing, it might cause a lot of trouble.
Wang Mang shook his head, "Aunt, although there are no natural disasters at this time, this is a blessing from God. My nephew has no virtue and incompetence and cannot bear this blessing, but the people in the world have it, so my nephew still hopes that the people can live and work in peace and contentment without having to endure natural disasters.
Even if you don’t eat meat or drink alcohol, it won’t be a problem.”
Seeing that he was so considerate of the people of the world, the Queen Mother was very satisfied, "My nephew is indeed the person chosen by the Ai family. If you can have this kind of heart, the Ai family will be relieved. However, the world's major events cannot harm your body. You need to take good care of yourself."
Keep it up, so that you can protect the new emperor and help the Ai family solve their problems."
Wang Mang hurriedly expressed, "What my aunt said is absolutely true. My nephew has gone astray and failed to understand my aunt's painstaking efforts. I can rest assured that if my nephew helps the new emperor well, he will definitely make the new emperor a person loved by the people."
The Queen Mother was very satisfied with what her nephew said and nodded happily, "Auntie is very pleased that you can think so. The new emperor will be entirely dependent on you in the future. If my aunt leaves, I hope you will take more care of him."
Wang Mang, who knew that his aunt was kind to him, nodded seriously, "Aunt, don't worry, I will take good care of the new emperor and won't let anyone bully him. However, he is still young at this time and many things are not clear yet.
, I, as the Grand Sima, must supervise. If I do something wrong, I hope my aunt will forgive me."
Wang Zhengjun thought he was talking about assisting the new emperor, and agreed without hesitation, "This is natural. You are the person appointed by the Ai family to assist the new emperor. You can exercise many rights, as long as it benefits the country."
People, these are all trivial matters, but there is one thing that the Aijia would like to remind you. You must not have more power than the new emperor, otherwise it will attract the attention of others, which will be detrimental to both you and the Aijia."
Wang Mang nodded calmly, "What my aunt said is absolutely true. My nephew will definitely keep it in mind and will not embarrass his aunt."
Seeing that he was so happy, Wang Zhengjun was in a better mood. However, due to the palace rules, he did not let him stay for a long time and asked him to leave directly.
Ever since he received the Empress Dowager's permission, Wang Mang's behavior of deceiving his superiors and subordinates became more and more powerful, which also attracted jealous people. The new emperor who should have legitimately inherited the throne was originally a member of the Liu family.
At this time, Grand Sima became Wang Mang, and the entire court was basically Wang Mang's people. This was simply to deprive the emperor of his power and replace the Liu family's throne with the Wang family.
Therefore, Anzhong Hou Liu Chong rebelled and supported Yanxiang Hou Liu Xin as the emperor. All forces began to move accordingly, shouting all the way that Wang Mang is a villain, trying to seize the Liu family's world, and also hijacked the emperor to order the princes.
Wang Mang, who was fifty-one years old at this time, was not afraid of these things at all despite his age. When he learned why they came, he slammed the table angrily and said, "A bunch of ignorant juniors dare to treat me like this...
"
Zhen Feng, a close confidant, hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Sir, these people have been induced by them to think that all the faults are on you. We must find a way to make them fall apart. Otherwise, when the people come to their senses, we may be in trouble."
unfavorable!"
Although Wang Mang has the strength to deal with this matter, he is also worried that there will be changes. After all, some things are uncertain, but he is not willing to let go of what he has obtained.
After all, why should he hand over all the things he got based on his strength? Do they know how much he has paid, because these are looked down upon by so many people? Why can the new emperor hold the throne as soon as he is born? How can the Liu family join the army?
Some people support it, not just because of their own blood.
But the Wang family is not bad. After all, his bloodline is pure. If his ancestors hadn't been in trouble, the world might not belong to anyone at this time.
Wang Mang, who felt a little guilty, slammed the table angrily and said, "Zhen Feng, you are right. I have been thinking about the people for many years. This may involve the interests of some people. If they don't get any benefits, they start to look for me."
The fault must be that they want to cause trouble for me so that I can lose everything I have now. They are really despicable, but I, Wang Mang, have been around for half my life, how can I be framed by a group of villains like them."
Hearing this, Zhen Feng's eyes lit up, "Sir, do you have a solution?"
Wang Mang chuckled lightly and said calmly, "Of course there is a way. I have been working for this day for so many years. Since they think that I am using the emperor to control the princes and want to ascend to the position of emperor, then I will show them.
I would like to see what a ragtag bunch of them can do to fight against me."
"Yes..." Zhen Feng responded excitedly.
Then he did as Wang Mang ordered.
After Wang Mang sent Wang Yi to take action, it didn't take long for the good news of winning the battle to come. From then on, Wang Mang was relieved, but he knew very well that if there was one thing like this, there would be two.
People who are dissatisfied will definitely find other things to find fault with.
In this case, why doesn't he change the production method so that they can become willing even if they are unwilling, and he can legitimately become the new emperor.
Just when he was about to change the production method, Qiao Ye appeared in front of him and said, "Wang Mang, let's stop it! If you continue to make mistakes, I'm afraid no one can save you. Besides, the world still belongs to the Liu family at this time. If you
If you take it by force, it will only be counterproductive. Not only will you lose what you have at this time, but you will also lose your life..."
Facing the sudden appearance of Qiao Ye, Wang Mang was stunned for a moment, but then he laughed disdainfully and said, "Haha... Who are you? Are you a spy sent by the Liu family, or a lobbyist?"
Qiao Ye shook his head, indicating that what he said was wrong.
Upon seeing this, Wang Mang drew out his knife and stared at Qiao Ye with cold eyes, "Since you are nothing, then who are you and why do you say these things to me? Besides, what I have done is harmful to the people.
I only care about myself at all, why should they treat me like this..."
"Haha..." Qiao Ye, who had already seen it clearly, responded sarcastically, "What you said makes sense, but that time you didn't give them huge benefits on the surface, and then sought them from the Queen Mother, that time it wasn't
After giving them benefits, you turn around and seek benefits for yourself from other places. If it is something that is not beneficial, you probably won’t do it. Since what you do affects their rights, you should know how to let go and not
They are holding on tightly, but what you don’t know is that they don’t like what you do, let alone what you want to do to replace the New Emperor.”
"After all, the position you replaced is also something they dream of. If you really implement the new system, I'm afraid you will be rebelled faster and lose more..." Qiao Ye reminded helplessly.
