Chapter 2

Usurping the Han Dynasty and standing on the throne (2)

Just when the pro-mang faction and the anti-mang faction were at war, a man came up to He Wu, patted him on the shoulder, and said with a sinister smile: "Don't be impatient, Da Sikong, ordinary people can't understand the changes in astrology, only Mr. Liu Such an expert can see who is the destiny according to the astrology. Although you have a mortal eye, could it be that you still can't see the strange stone from the sky and the seven-character prophecy written on it "An Hanmang will come to the world" Is it? Anyone who violates the will of God will surely be punished by the heavens." The man who spoke was in his thirties, with deep-set eyes, obviously quite wealthy.

He Wu showed no fear, and laughed loudly: "How can I believe you Wu Ji's deeply deceptive words, this stone is nothing more than carved by Wang Mang's order, and only you bastard will go along with Wang Mang's pointing a deer into a horse."

Although Wu Jishen was humiliated, there was no trace of displeasure on his face. He just chuckled and said, "The great man has had no sons for three consecutive generations. It has already shown that the heaven will not bless the Han, so he should find another capable person to inherit the Han tradition. But fools don't know the destiny. I don't need to argue with you any more."

He Wu was furious, and shouted sharply: "As long as there is an old man here, I will never sit back and wait for the traitor to succeed!" Then he clasped his fists at the group of officials, and said sadly: "My colleagues, a few days ago on the streets of Chang'an, there was a young man who claimed to be the dragon of Emperor Xiaocheng. Afterwards, the Empress Dowager personally told the old man that the young man was her grandson. We are eating the salary of a big man, so we should devote ourselves to my court. Wang Mang is just a traitor who usurped the man, so the old man killed Wu Jishen first. The treacherous villain, and then kill the chief villain for the big man." After saying that, he raised his fist high and was about to hit Wu Jishen on the head, when he suddenly felt severe pain in his five internal organs, like thousands of insects biting him. Although he is a tough man, but He also rolled back and forth on the ground in pain, screaming again and again.

"Da Sikong!" A minister shouted tremblingly, and rushed to He Wu's side, before he could be lifted up, the other party was already bleeding from all seven orifices, and passed away.Viewing this situation, the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty were all horrified, and even the officials who had devoted themselves to the rivers and lakes did not understand the key points.

Just four years ago, Wang Mang took a fancy to Wu Jishen's supernatural powers, and immediately entrusted him with an important position.Today, Wang Mang wanted to proclaim himself emperor, and he had expected that someone would stand up to obstruct him, so he ordered Wu Jishen to secretly perform magical powers in public and execute his political opponents, so as to show that he was the destiny of heaven. If he violated it, the punishment of heaven would come immediately .Wu Ji Shen obeyed his order and dipped his palms in the venom before the court meeting. Although the venom was transparent and colorless, it was a soul-breaking poison. He relied on his profound internal energy and his strength while talking and laughing to prevent the poison from entering his body.Just then Wu Ji walked deep in front of He Wu, and when he patted him on the shoulder, his palm lightly stimulated his internal force, pushing the poison through the other's clothes and into his body, so after only a moment, He Wu died from the poison.

The minister who wanted to help He Wu saw the death of his colleague, looked at his dead body, and said weepingly: "Da Sikong... You are an important minister in the court. You have been loyal to the Han Dynasty all your life, and you died so miserable. I Gongsun Lu will avenge you!" At the end of the sentence, he gritted his teeth and creaked.

All the ministers supporting the Han Dynasty were in tears, but Wu Jishen raised his head and laughed, saying: "Revenge? What a joke. Then He Wu was clearly punished by the heavens, so he died unexpectedly. It seems that the Gongsun Shaofu has to make up his mind and defy the destiny." He didn't want to provoke public anger, and he didn't show much disdain when he said these words.

Gongsun Lu suddenly pulled out the dagger in his sleeve, pointed the tip at Wu Jishen, and said angrily: "Although I didn't see that you used such a vicious trick, He Sikong's death was definitely not caused by God's punishment!" Wu Jishen snorted softly, not panicking. He said in a hurry: "Gongsun Shaofu has hidden weapons. It seems that you and He Wu have already conspired against each other. Thanks to Mr. An Han's wisdom and martial arts, you have been exempted from your military power early, otherwise the consequences will be disastrous. But my lord is still too benevolent and righteous." If you let you two wolf-hearted things enter the hall, today I will take your life for An Hangong." After speaking, his eyes stood up, and a cold light suddenly appeared.

Wang Mang had already made arrangements, but he didn't say much, he just watched the situation in the palace, and secretly praised: "Wu Jishen has done a great job, it seems that I really hired the right person. The long-cherished wish of being king for many years will definitely be fulfilled today." Thinking of this, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and it was hard to restrain himself.

Gongsun Lu didn't dare to take the lead, so he glared deeply at Wu Ji, and forced himself to calm down and said: "I, Gongsun Lu, have been in the army at any rate, and his mother is not a vegetarian. Today, I will fight with you first, and then punish the traitor Wang Mang!"

At this moment, a person in the train yelled loudly: "Wait a minute!" While speaking, he performed light work and jumped between the two of them, but he saw that the person was a young general with handsome features.

The young general clasped his fists at Gongsun Lu and said, "Your Excellency was General Zuo, and his martial arts are not weak, but his master's miraculous skills are unpredictable, and General Gongsun is no match for him. Besides, my adoptive father's ascension to the throne is in fact the destiny of heaven and the will of the people." As the saying goes, "He who understands the current affairs is a hero". Why should the general be stubborn? If you can respect the new master, you can still save your life." , he saw Gongsun Lu's loyalty and admiration in his heart, and couldn't bear his death, so he jumped out to make peace.

As soon as Yunqi finished speaking, Wang Mang sighed and said, "Emperor Daxing's sudden funeral really broke my heart. I wish I could go with him. However, the Empress Dowager gave me the Imperial Seal, saying that I am the only one who inherits Daxing. Only by reunification can we turn the tide and save the people from the fire and water." Wu Ji said deeply: "Since the Empress Dowager is alive, I hope that the Holy Majesty will mourn, and it is important to ascend the throne as soon as possible."

Wang Mang wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, and then continued: "It is really helpless for me to be the emperor. I also ask Gongsun Shaofu not to disobey Yi's order. If you know your mistakes, you can correct them. You will definitely be promoted to a noble."

Gongsun Lushang held his dagger tightly, and said with a pitiful sneer: "Who cares? A man is loyal to the country. Even if he dies, I will die a worthy death. The traitor will take his life!" As soon as the words fell, he attacked Wang Mang.But seeing the guards around Wang Mang shouting for escort, they raised their weapons and surrounded Gongsun Lu firmly.Although those soldiers were well-trained, they were stabbed by Gongsun Lu one after another and fell into a pool of blood. Yun Qi jumped into the circle and said, "General Gongsun, stop, or I will make a move."

Gongsun Lu didn't even talk to him, and quickly moved the dagger forward, piercing Yunqi's heart.Yun Qi turned slightly to the side, held Gongsun Ju's wrist with his left hand, and turned his right hand into a palm to punch him in the chest, causing the opponent to vomit blood, staggered a few times, and then fell down.The soldiers near left took the opportunity to swing their knives. Although Gongsun Lu was seriously injured, his reaction was still extremely sensitive, but when he saw him roll to the side, the short blade in his hand was thrown out, and the dagger pierced the soldier's chest.Just at this moment, another soldier saw that Gongsun Lu had lost his weapon and was seriously injured, so he let go of his courage and rushed up, stabbing with a long spear in his hand. Gongsun Lu held the weapon and long pole with one hand and waved it It was broken, and then he chopped down with the dagger in his hand, hitting the sole of the soldier's foot.Seeing the soldier holding his broken foot and screaming, the rest of the people suddenly became terrified and took half a step back.

Gongsun Lufu vomited blood again, and struggled to get up, only to see that the veins on his forehead were bulging, he was panting heavily, his life was at stake.Wu Ji looked at this situation deeply, and felt compassion, so he persuaded: "Why is the Gongsun Shaofu so stubborn, even if you are not afraid of death, you still have to take care of your lovely wife and son?"

When Gongsun Lu thought about his family, he couldn't help but had tears in his eyes, but his expression was very resolute, and then he lamented: "My wife, children, and children are the heart and soul of my Gongsun Lu, but they will never cling to traitors just to survive." , looked around, bowed his hands to the ministers who did not bow down to Wang Mang, and continued sadly: "I can't kill Wang Mang today. It seems that I, a big man, should have this disaster. Gongsun Lu will take a step first, and the big man's foundation will be entrusted to everyone." Voice As soon as he fell, he killed himself with Duan Ge.

The treacherous minister laughed secretly at Gongsun Lu's pedantry, and all the loyal ministers felt sad. Wang Mang shook his head and sighed, and said, "These two people don't know the destiny and despise the Queen Mother's will, which is why this disaster happened. I think these two have been officials in the court for many years. For the time being, let him be buried in peace."

After the soldiers carried the corpse out of the palace, Wu Ji Shenfu knelt down again and said: "Grand An Han is magnanimous and benevolent, and he will definitely become a benevolent king. I beseech you, for the sake of the people in the world, to follow the emperor's order and proclaim yourself emperor. I will assist the Holy Majesty to make great achievements for thousands of years." Staring at the bloodstains that have not been wiped off in the hall, all the ministers bowed their heads and bowed their ears, and then knelt down one after another: "Welcome Duke An Han to inherit the great rule and rule the world..."

Wang Mangfu pretended to refuse again, and then sighed with a smile: "Since the Empress Dowager and all the lovers insist on supporting me, I have no choice but to resign myself to it."

"Long live my emperor, long live, long live!" Wang Mangdeng was full of satisfaction when he heard the minister's homage like a tsunami. Said: "It is really helpless for me to inherit the Han Dynasty. From now on, I will change the year name to 'Jushe' to show that I exercise the power of the emperor and replace the great Han's ambition to protect the country. I also want to name the Liu clan as the Prince, after a hundred years, I will definitely return the throne." After talking, he pondered for a while, and then continued: "I heard that the wife of Marquis Liu Xian of Guangwei gave birth to a son last year, named Liu Ying, although this person is very young. However, he can be supervised since he was a child, so that when he grows up, he will become the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, so I have decided to make Liu Ying the crown prince. Do you have any objections?"

Wu Jishen and others all knew that Wang Mang appointed the baby as the heir, and he would depose him sooner or later. The guards of the Han Dynasty all felt that although Liu Ying was still young, he was still a relative of the Liu family, so they had to agree to the present plan.

Seeing this situation, Wang Mang sighed again, and said: "Since all the ministers agreed, I will make Liu Ying the crown prince, and move to the East Palace from now on. The palace slaves will take good care of the prince's daily life. If you have not obeyed the imperial order, you are not allowed to enter. The East Palace is disturbing." Liu Xin knelt down and said flatteringly, "The Holy One is truly a benevolent king through the ages, and Yao, Shun, Yu Tang can't match it."

Wang Mang smiled slightly and said: "Liu Xin has made great contributions in conveying the destiny by watching the stars, and he will be promoted to Taichang from now on; Wu Jishen is not only strong in martial arts, but also loyal, and will be worshiped as my new national teacher from now on; , in charge of the defense of the capital, and the rest of the ministers will be rewarded." As soon as the words fell, the traitors in the court knelt down and said in unison: "Thank you, Lord Long En." Those ministers who were loyal to the Han Dynasty were photographed by Wang Mang's prestige, and they also kowtowed.

After the court meeting was over, Wang Mang ordered craftsmen to inlay the missing part of the jade seal with gold. Since then, the Jade Seal of Chuanguo has finally become "gold inlaid jade".Afterwards, Wang Mang hurriedly ordered Yunqi to execute the son of Emperor Cheng. At this moment, an eunuch trotted in and reported, "Your Majesty Qizuo, someone from Chang'an Mansion came to report that the Yulin Army Youyiwei Zhonglang General Duan Feng led a group of people to break into the government prison, took Liu Ziyu away, rushed out of Chang'an City, and fled eastward."

Hearing these changes, Wang Mang couldn't help getting up angrily, and said through gritted teeth, "You bastard, I'm going to tear these two people into pieces!" Difficult to sit still.

This is exactly: Once the greed for usurping the Han increased, chaos began to arise.Friendship and friendship are endless, and when the chaotic world will be cleared up.The so-called time makes heroes, it is precisely because of Wang Mang's usurpation that countless heroes gathered to compete in the world.But in the rivers and lakes, there are three pillars, and each force goes up to the court and down to the world, which is enough to shake the world.If you want to know what happened next, let's see the next chapter.
