Rebirth of the best emperor

Chapter 55

The yamen represented by the ministers present basically got some money. Although Wang Yongji and others felt that the money given was a bit small, but the total amount of money was so much, they could only nod in agreement, and then went back to deal with Fang Xizhi's death. other things.

Lin Guodong and Changsun Wuji stayed because they both had matters to report to the emperor individually.

Lin Guodong first said: "Your Majesty, I went to Shangyuan Palace yesterday, and Shangyuan Palace has allowed my people to visit Taiping Temple. How does Your Majesty think this investigation should be done, and to what extent?"

Changsun Wuji knew about the female corpse case near Taiping Temple, but this was the first time he heard that it involved Shangyuan Palace.

In this year, the death of a person is not a big deal, but if the person who died might have something to do with the palace, it is a big deal.

Changsun Wuji felt a little regretful, and felt that he shouldn't stand here so rashly and listen to Lin Guodong's report on his work, but after thinking about it, the emperor's acquiescing to attend this kind of thing may not be a kind of trust in himself.

But Wang Mang pondered, according to Wang Mang's thinking, Shangyuan Palace should be silent this time, non-violent and non-cooperative, but he didn't expect Shangyuan Palace to directly agree to Lin Guodong's request, which was beyond Wang Mang's opinion. Unexpectedly, is it possible that this matter has nothing to do with Shangyuan Palace?I waited for others to think too much.

In addition, it is not necessary for Lin Guodong to report this kind of matter to himself in detail. In Wang Mang's view, there are two main reasons for Lin Guodong's actions at this moment. One is to show his loyalty to the emperor, and the other is probably not without suspicion of shirking responsibility.

"Did the Empress Dowager personally tell you that she agreed to investigate the Taiping Temple?" Wang Mang asked.

"Weichen didn't see the Queen Mother." Lin Guodong shook his head and said, "It's the Queen Mother's oral order passed down by Li Yueru, a court lady next to the Queen Mother."

"In this case, then you should go to Taiping Temple to investigate." Wang Mang raised his eyebrows, and said: "Shangyuan Palace has acquiesced in this matter, you can just go and investigate, but what should be investigated and what should not be investigated , You can decide what you find out, but you must remember that this matter should not be publicized."

"I understand." Lin Guodong kowtowed, his face thoughtful, and then he withdrew without waiting for Changsun Wuji to speak. He was not as stupid as Changsun Wuji, who didn't know what to listen to and what not to listen.

Changsun Wuji saw Lin Guodong retreating directly, and thought at that time, he deserves to be a person who can be Jing Zhaoyin, he is really a cunning person!

Wang Mang looked at Changsun Wuji, and without waiting for him to speak, he chuckled directly and said, "What's wrong, it didn't work?"

Changsun Wuji opened his mouth, kowtowed and said, "Your Majesty is wise, my humble minister failed to help His Majesty handle things well, and my senior brother is arrogant, and this little minister's face is not enough."

"Since ancient times, talented people have been proud of their talents. I have been prepared for it. Ai Qing doesn't have to blame herself so much." Wang Mang smiled. Wang Mang knew that it is not so simple to invite people.

The mission has already been mentioned, it is called Sangu Thatched Cottage, and Wang Mang still knows the allusion of Sangu Thatched Cottage. Judging from the mission, it is definitely not possible to invite Shang Yang once or twice, at least three times, otherwise, why would it be called Sangu Thatched Cottage, so Wang Mang had already Knowing that Changsun Wuji will return in vain if he goes here.

Seeing that the emperor not only did not blame him, but also comforted him so much, Changsun Wuji was so moved that he almost shed tears, kowtowed and said: "Don't worry, Your Majesty, I will go back and live directly at the house of Senior Brother Chen. If he doesn't come to see Your Majesty, I will Lai stayed at his house and did not leave."

"Don't be so exaggerated," Wang Mang shook his head, picked up an envelope as if he had been prepared for a long time, and said, "Here is a letter, you take it to see Shangyang."

After receiving the letter handed over from Li Lan, Changsun Wuji took a deep breath, kowtowed and said, "Your Majesty is so heavy, I will definitely live up to your Majesty's trust!"

When Changsun Wuji left, Li Lan asked curiously, "Your Majesty, do you value this Shang Yang recommended by Zhongshuling so much?"

"I have learned that this Shang Yang is indeed a great talent and is very helpful to the court, but I value him so much not only because he is a great talent, but also because of other reasons." Wang Mang said: "You accompany me. Let the eldest grandson Wuji go to Shang Yang's house together, and have a better attitude, and make him feel my sincerity, and at the same time, let the people around you know about it unintentionally."

Qianjin City Horse Bone!
In ancient times, there was a king who wanted to buy a thousand-mile horse with a thousand gold, but after several years, he couldn't buy it. Later, a minister asked the king to buy a horse, but he couldn't buy a thousand-mile horse. He bought the bone of a thousand-mile horse with a thousand gold. The king was furious, and the minister said "The bones of a horse cost thousands of gold to buy, not to mention a thousand-mile horse. The king just waits for a while, and there will be many people in the world who will take the initiative to sell horses to the king."

If Wang Mang wanted to reform the government of Daqin, he alone would not be able to do it. He needed a large number of talents, and to attract talents, he had to make a gesture of loving and cherishing talents.

Shangyang is the horse bone bought by Wang Mang's daughter. The ultimate goal is to let all the talents in the world see Wang Mang's attitude towards talented people. As long as this attitude of treating talents with courtesy spreads, Wang Mang believes that there will be a large number of talents. Only then did the crowds come.

And by that time, the imperial court will have enough manpower to carry out reforms, and will not be afraid to do things like it is now, and think about it for a long time.

Li Lan felt that he was already very polite to the virtuous, but Wang Mang knew that this was not enough. If he wanted to let the world know his reputation as a corporal, he had to go to Shang Yang's home to invite him in person.

Visiting the thatched cottage three times, Liu Xuande would personally go to Zhuge Liang's house three times in order to invite Zhuge Liang. Since he wanted a daughter, he naturally had to go to Shang Yang's house to maximize his benefits.

While Wang Mang was thinking, Li Lan turned into the study again and reported, "Your Majesty, Meng Yi, the son of the Marquis of Dingbei, and Wang Kun, the grandson of the Marquis of Zhongyong, are begging to see His Majesty outside the palace."

Wang Kun?

Wang Mang was taken aback, and said, "Didn't I let him serve in the southern army? Why hasn't he left yet?"

"The servant asked, and said that he was preparing to pack and came here today to bid farewell to His Majesty." Li Lan explained.

"Where's Meng Yi?" Wang Mang asked again, Wang Mang still has a deep impression of Meng Yi, and he has a good impression, a kind person.

"It is said that he is sending greetings to His Majesty on behalf of his father Meng Tian." Li Lan said.

Daqin currently has twelve princes, all of whom are world-renowned. Among them, Meng Tian is the Marquis of Dingbei of the Daqin Kingdom. He is in charge of the defense of the area bordering the northwest of Daqin and the grassland. Meng Yi is Mengtian's eldest son, also known as Dingbei. Hou Shizi, the Meng family has been loyal to the Qin State for generations, and the Zhongyonghou Wang family that Wang Kun belongs to is the right arm of the Great Qin State.

At this moment, when the two asked to see each other, Wang Mang naturally made no sense, so he nodded and signaled Li Lan to ask them to meet.
