Chapter Three Three Accountability

"Damn it, this flash of lightning in the middle of the night shocked me. The special effects are so realistic. I have never seen such real special effects in Hollywood!"

"Isn't the anchor a poor guy? How can he have the money to hire special effects like this? Did he rob a bank?"

"Why are you paying so much attention to the special effects? No one is paying attention to Wang Mang? His momentum is really incredible. When he reprimanded Qiao Ye just now, it scared me. This is what the new emperor is like!"

"Although it's very unpleasant to kill Qiao Ye, I feel that his momentum is not worse than Wang Mang's, but much stronger."

There are still a lot of trolls in the live broadcast room, and they spray indiscriminately, but what is surprising is that several of them have already switched sides, and the people who eat melon are siding with Qiao Ye.

Everyone was staring at the screen carefully, and no one noticed that the number of people in the live broadcast room had exceeded four digits at some point.

And this number is still increasing!

In the picture, Wang Mang closed his eyes, quickly calmed down, and stared at Qiao Ye quietly.

This weirdo must have been prepared when he came this time, but he had taken it lightly before.

"Tell me, what crime am I guilty of?"

After all, Wang Mang was someone who had seen strong winds and waves. Even when he spoke under such circumstances, he always had the tone of a superior.

"Snapped!"

Qiao Ye raised his hand and snapped his fingers, and the surrounding scenes disappeared instantly, leaving only him and Wang Mang who were leaning on the dragon chair unchanged.

Seeing this, Wang Mang raised his eyebrows slightly. He still cared about ghosts and gods, otherwise he wouldn't be searching for the man named Liu Xiu all over the world because of some prophecies.

"Aren't you going to judge me? Why don't you start quickly?"

Wang Mang chuckled lightly, waiting for Qiao Ye's next move as if watching a play, with a myriad of thoughts in his mind.

If there is a chance, you can also take this weirdo under your command...

"Judge the guilty, Wang Mang!"

"The first crime is not abiding by the principles of being a minister and seeking power to usurp the throne!"

"The second crime is not abiding by the king's rules and being arrogant!"

"The third crime is disobeying the father's ways and killing the heirs!"

Qiao Ye's voice was cold as he listed every crime he committed!

"Absurd!" Wang Mang laughed loudly, "It's extremely ridiculous! These three crimes have nothing to do with me, so why are they guilty?"

"Before I came to the throne, I was a minister. I was self-denial, appointed virtuous people, and used all the money and food awarded by the court to entertain celebrities. I lived a poor and simple life. Why should I not abide by the principles of a minister?"

Wang Mang didn't care about Qiao Ye, and said to himself: "I remember that when all the officials came to visit my mother, they actually recognized her as a servant in the house, which shows how poor I am!"

"While I was living in seclusion in the new capital, countless officials and people asked me to return to my post. The people's eyes were bright. I worked diligently and diligently while living as the false emperor. In the end, the late emperor abdicated and succeeded to the throne!"

"Okay, what a conscientious person walking on thin ice!"

Qiao Ye couldn't help but sneer, what Wang Mang said was indeed true, but if he only said 50% of these things, it would really make people think that he was a great hero who took orders in the face of danger!

Unfortunately, Qiao Ye is not a novice in history, so these few words cannot deceive him.

"In December of the fifth year of the original year, Emperor Ping of the Han Dynasty died of illness. There was obviously an older new emperor who could ascend the throne. Why did you make Ru Ziying, the great-great-grandson of Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty, the crown prince?"

Wang Mang's heart moved and he remembered his past.

Of course the new and older emperor can ascend the throne, but if he is allowed to ascend the throne, how can he control the political situation?

"You knew that in order to maintain your position in the court, you must strengthen your power in the court, so you took the initiative to curry favor with Kong Guang, the famous Confucian scholar at the time, and forced Kong Guang to build momentum for you in the name of the Queen Mother!"

"Using Kong Guang's influence as a tool to exclude dissidents, he impeached He Wu and Gongsun Lu and removed them from their official positions. He also successively dismissed Shi Li, the servant of the central minister, and other high-ranking officials worth more than 2,000 shi on various charges.

"

"They even used various means to confuse the Queen Mother and deceive the people to cover up their ambitions!"

"Forced Wang Zhengjun to hand over the imperial seal, accepted Ru Ziying's abdication and proclaimed himself emperor. He went to the Gaozu Temple to worship him, and the imperial crown became the emperor's throne."

Qiao Ye is familiar with history books and has a very thorough understanding of Wang Mang. He can clearly point out the ambition behind him in a few words.

"Everyone in the world knows that you were abdicated and succeeded to the throne. I'm afraid not many people remember your ugly face when you forced Wang Zhengjun?"

"nonsense!"

Wang Mang's face turned red, he stood up angrily, and subconsciously roared in denial.

"Whether it's nonsense or not, you know best."

Qiao Ye smiled lightly, his voice was not loud, but every word was heart-breaking!

"You once prayed in the ancestral temple day and night with Ru Ziying in your arms, and wrote an article imitating the "Great Edict", explaining that your throne was temporary and that you must return the throne to Ru Ziying in the future. Do you still remember it?"

Facing Qiao Ye's cynicism, Wang Mang's expression turned ugly, as if he was remembering what he once looked like.

In his eyes, Qiao Ye is no longer a weirdo, he is a mirror, a mirror that can reflect what he once was!



The unprecedented live broadcast themes and methods have attracted the curiosity of countless people.

The number of people in the live broadcast room has already exceeded 30,000, which is a figure that Qiao Ye never dared to imagine.

In the barrage, trolls still exist, but compared to the huge audience, they are not enough to watch, but they are still trying their best to maintain their "original intentions"!

"Traitor, Wang Mang was a real traitor back then. I didn't expect that Aiqing had been planning for so many years to ascend the throne. She was so ruthless!"

"I hold the baby in my arms and pray in the ancestral temple day and night. It makes me laugh to death. Who are you pretending to show me? In the end, you became the emperor, you hypocritical villain!"

"Wang Mang did this as a last resort. If you don't understand, don't talk nonsense..."

Of course, Qiao Ye didn't know that a live broadcast would cause such a big stir. He was still seriously scheming with the guy in front of him.

This old fox is very cunning, and if you are not careful, he will change the situation.

"Yes, what you said is correct, but you should also know that the Liu clan is quite prejudiced against me and even led troops to attack Wancheng. If I hadn't acted like this, I would have been quartered long ago!"

"It's ridiculous. If you hadn't wanted to seek power and usurp the throne first, how could the Liu family be so prejudiced against you!"

Wang Mang stopped talking. He knew he was in the wrong and couldn't find any excuse, so he focused on the second crime.

"Since I ascended the throne, I have implemented good reform policies. I have changed the world's fields into king's fields, and replaced private fields with king's fields. My slaves have been renamed private and cannot be bought or sold."

"Then the currency system and the official system were reformed, and salt and iron were stipulated by the government, and the mountains and rivers were nationalized. At the same time, they rested with the people. From then on, the country was peaceful and the people were safe!"

"The people of the world are in a state of flux. I want to save the people of the world. Is this reform a crime?"

"But a crime?" Qiao Ye mocked with a smile, and suddenly changed the subject, "Of course it is a crime!"

"Why don't you think carefully about what the so-called reforms have brought to the people!"
