A thousand-year-old family that began with the Battle of Makino

Chapter 251 The battle between the roads and the byways,

Seeing that Wang Mang was about to be swayed by Bai Xuan, Liu Xin was prompted to speak.

"It's not enough time, it's too long. As the saying goes: Change happens only late. Solving the refugee problem cannot be solved overnight. During this period, Chun Yuchang will definitely intervene to cause trouble, and time will become even more uncontrollable.

No one knows what will happen in the meantime. It may be beneficial to us, or it may be harmful to us.

Captain, I think what Zhen Feng said makes sense. Not only does it take a short time, but the rewards are also great. I agree with Zhen Feng's opinion. "

Bai Xuan said anxiously: "We don't need to solve all the refugee problems. We only need to solve 500,000, even 200,000 or 300,000, to let the world know that we are capable of solving this matter. Not only that, but also other problems in the world. It can also be solved.

As long as your attitude is shown, I don't think anyone will support Chun Yuchang who can only flatter you. By then, Captain, you will be invincible. What's more, even if it is not solved now, it will be solved sooner or later when the captain becomes the Grand Sima. "

"We really don't have time." Wang Mang looked at Wang Shun who was speaking.

"Cousin, you don't know something. The seventh uncle's health has been getting worse and worse recently. Now there are more people supporting Chunyu Chang than those supporting us. If something unexpected happens to my uncle, Chun Yuchang is very good at trying to please His Majesty, the Queen Mother and the Queen. Rejoice, by then, our situation will be more critical than now."

Bai Xuan still wanted to speak, but was interrupted by Wang Mang: "Brother Bai, I know what you want to say, but Zhen Feng and the others are right. If you don't become a great Sima, all your ideals and great achievements will be like the moon in the water and the flowers in the mirror." , no matter how clever the method is, it is of no use in justice, and can only be carried into the grave, leaving regrets in the world.

If I, Wang Mang, want to be the one who saves the world, I must not be benevolent as a woman, and do not stick to trivial matters when doing great things.

As Marquis Anyang said, we don't have much time. Now our first priority is to fight for time. "

"Captain..."

"Brother Bai, please stop being stubborn. A great cause cannot be accomplished by one or two people. We must listen to everyone's suggestions. Such a great cause can be accomplished and everyone in the world can be saved."

Seeing the excited Wang Mang, Bai Xuan had no choice but to suppress what he wanted to say, bowed, and then stepped back to show that he respected his decision.

After seeing Bai Xuan's agreement, Wang Mang stood up and shouted to the people in the hall: "Gentlemen, it's time to take action. For the future and for the sake of the great man, please give me a helping hand!"

"I would like to be driven by you!"

After unifying their internal opinions, Wang Mang's party quickly took action.

Even if Bai Xuan disagrees with this suggestion, since Wang Mang said it, he will still use his own strength to help him.

Because Wang Mang had many friends and many people benefited from him, and Bai Xuan used the Bai family's power to help him, soon the evidence about Chun Yuchang's crime drifted to Wang Mang like snowflakes.

Wang Mang chose the ones that could help him the most and was ready to take action.

On this day, Wang Gen suddenly fell ill. Under the tip from Wang Yi, the son of Wang Shang, Wang Mang quickly realized that his opportunity had come, and then went non-stop to the Hussar General's Mansion to serve Wang Gen.

Wang Gen saw that Wang Mang was hesitant and wanted to say something but didn't dare to say it, so he said: "Jujun, if you have something to say, just say it. Is there anything else that you dare not say in front of my uncle?"

Wang Mang said cautiously: "My nephew has heard something recently, but he is afraid of hurting the relationship between relatives, so he hesitates to say anything."

"Say it!"

"Yes"

Seeing that Wang Gen insisted on asking, Wang Mang said: "My nephew heard that Chunyu Chang saw the general who had been ill for a long time, and he was very happy. He thought that he would definitely replace you and assist in the government, and even secretly granted him an official title and made a wish!"

At the same time, he also told the truth about how Chunyu Chang had an affair with the deposed Empress Xu's sister, Mrs. Xu, and how he had accepted bribes from the deposed Empress Xu for a long time.

"Asshole!" He turned around and asked Wang Mang: "If that's the case, why didn't you tell me earlier?"

Wang Mang said helplessly: "I don't know my uncle's intentions, so I haven't dared to say anything."

"Hmph, this Chun Yuchang was almost deceived by his appearance. Jujun, you immediately went to the palace and reported the matter to the Queen Mother. Chun Yuchang is the Queen Mother's nephew. Let the Queen Mother make the decision."

So Wang Mang listened to Wang Gen's words and rushed to Changle Palace to see the Queen Mother and tell Chunyu Chang all about his crimes.

The Queen Mother was very angry and ordered Wang Mang to report the matter to the emperor immediately.

Wang Mang went to Weiyang Palace and told the Han Emperor. Although the Han Emperor was skeptical, under the pressure of the Queen Mother, he had to remove Chunyuchang from all official positions without punishing him, and asked him to leave the capital and return to the feudal country.

Chunyu Chang was very greedy. Through Xu Feihou and other channels, he embezzled tens of millions of money, so in his world view, money can make the world go round.

Chunyu Chang's corruption and bribery were so huge that the Han Emperor just dismissed him from office, which seemed too light. But in Chun Yuchang's own opinion, it was a heavy blow. Removing his official position and joining the country means losing his former power, and this power is his inexhaustible "cash cow". Now that the "big tree" has fallen and his financial path has been cut off, Chunyu Chang, who is soaked in food juice, cannot accept this at all.

So he must make a last-ditch effort to turn the tide.

So in order to restore his official position, he bribed Wang Li, the Marquis of Hongyang, who had an old grudge with him at all costs, and asked him to ask the emperor to let him stay in Chang'an, so that he could have the opportunity to seek reinstatement.

But Wang Li was so moved by those dazzling treasures that he ignored his past suspicions and asked Chun Yu to stay with him.

Although the Han Emperor was absurd, he was not stupid. When he saw that Wang Li interceded for his former enemy, this abnormal move immediately aroused his suspicion.

He ordered relevant departments to investigate the matter.

When Wang Li saw that the Han Emperor had launched an investigation process, he felt guilty and forced his son Wang Rong to commit suicide to silence him. Because Chunyu Chang bribed Wang Li through Wang Rong. However, as a result, there were no more than 200 taels of silver in the place. The Emperor of the Han Dynasty even more suspected that there must be a traitor among them, so he ordered Chun Yuchang to be arrested and imprisoned for investigation.

Chunyu had lived in wealth for a long time, so how could he withstand the torture tools of Tingwei's mansion? He quickly told all his bad things, including promising to speak good words for her in front of the emperor after he was deposed, so that she could become the left empress. This is the crime of defrauding Xu Weihou of all his money.

This was a heinous crime and a "great rebellion", so the Emperor of Han immediately issued an edict to have him executed in prison.

In order to completely cut off Chun Yuchang's forces, and also to prevent the counterattack of Chun Yuchang's remaining forces.

Wang Mang sent people to kill Chun Yuchang's son Chun Yuyu, and the rest of his family members were driven out of the capital and left to fend for themselves.

Chunyu Chang was about to die, and Wang Mang became the best candidate to succeed the Great Sima. To celebrate this event, Wang Mang held a banquet at home for his close confidants and followers who had made meritorious services in this struggle.

"Gentlemen, thanks to your help in this battle, great things can be accomplished!" Wang Mang stood up and said while holding the wine glass.

"Congratulations to the captain, congratulations to the captain!"

Wang Mang saw everyone in the hall drinking and mingling, it was a lively scene, but Bai Xuan, who was sitting next to him, was the only one who was unhappy.

He knew what Bai Xuan was worried about. If it were anyone else, Wang Mang might just forget about it. Bai Xuan was different. He represented the Bai family. In Wang Mang's blueprint, the Bai family was an indispensable part.

"Brother Bai, everyone is happy, why don't you hesitate?" Wang Mang raised his glass and toasted Bai Xuan.

Bai Xuan came back to his senses, responded to Wang Mang, and said worriedly: "Captain, I'm not trying to dampen your spirits, but the worries in my heart are like reeds growing in the swamp and cannot be stopped."

"Please say."

Bai Xuan put down his wine glass, sat upright and said: "Captain, it is gratifying to defeat Chun Yuchang and get the position of Grand Sima, but we should also think about what happens next.

We alone are not enough to change the current situation of the world. More young talents and country masters are needed.

And now that we have won a victory through political struggle, does this mean that we will still use political struggle to govern the country in the future? I don’t think so. If the captain wants to be Huo Guang, Duke of Zhou, or Guan Zhong, he still needs to correct his mentality and solve problems with panic. It is impossible to govern a country by relying on some unsightly means, let alone solve the problem of a big man. Chronic illness, to realize the ideal of world unity in our hearts. "

Wang Mang was moved by Bai Xuan's words: "Why don't I know, but governing the country is not just about the two of us talking about it. Just like you said, it depends on millions of talented people. It depends on all the people in the world.

But everyone has his own ideas and interests. We can't just stick to our own principles and completely ignore the principles of others. All we can do is try our best to balance our internal ideas and do our best to realize our goals. Purpose. "

Then the conversation changed, and he looked at Bai Xuanda and said: "Fortunately, there is still Brother Bai. From now on, if I get lost in the fog of power and the wasteland of flattery, please remind me that for the sake of the love in our hearts, That world.”

Bai Xuan knew that Wang Mang had always been the same and talked freely with him about his ideals. The original Wang Mang had not changed, but was more pragmatic and real.

"Captain, don't worry, I will do it for our common ideals."

After solving Bai Xuan, Wang Mang felt very relaxed, as if thousands of pounds of dust in his heart were blown away by the breeze, leaving behind a heart filled with vitality.
"Gentlemen, please have a drink!"

Wang Mang stood up and toasted the guests.

"Respect the Captain!!!"

At the end of the same year, in December, Wang Gen begged for bones from the Han Emperor and recommended the Cavalry Captain, Guanglu Doctor, and Guard Lieutenant and Attendant Wang Mang to succeed him as Chief Sima.

The Emperor of the Han Dynasty was very optimistic about Wang Mang, thinking that he was a wise minister given to the Han Dynasty by God. With the support of the Queen Mother Wang Zhengjun, Wang Mang was quickly appointed as the Grand Sima, the Cavalry Captain, the Guanglu Doctor, and the minister.
