Rebirth of the best emperor

Chapter 202
"What? The Zhao family in Nanyang has changed hands? Zhao Molan has placed Zhao Shixiu under house arrest, and has become the new head of the Zhao family in Nanyang?"

Xinyang County Government, Lu Yuan looked at Zhao Zifan who came to report the letter with a look of surprise.

Zhao Zifan looked sluggish, terrified, and murmured: "Zhao Molan is crazy. He not only imprisoned his father, but also deceived all the elders and deacons of the Zhao family in Nanyang City to the Zhao family's home. Let him kill all the patriarchs, even my mother was killed!"

"Zhao Molan, he's crazy! No, he's a lunatic!" Zhao Zifan said viciously, "You guys want to avenge me, as long as you kill Zhao Molan for me, I can do whatever you want me to do. "

Looking at the excited Zhao Zifan, Lu Yuan looked at Wang Mang. Wang Mang frowned slightly. The changes in the Zhao family were not in his plan. It will affect the overall situation. After all, no one who is the head of the Zhao family will get along well with him.

Thinking of this, Wang Mang comforted Zhao Zifan and said, "Zhao Zifan, don't get excited. Since you are working for the court, your business is the court's business. The court will not ignore this matter. Don't worry."

Although Zhao Zifan didn't believe it in his heart, he had nothing else to rely on now, so he could only trust Wang Mang, so he expressed his gratitude and said, "I thank the two adults first."

Wang Mang and Lu Yuan looked at each other, and Lu Yuan said, "Zhao Zifan, how did you know about the Zhao family in Nanyang?"

"It was my mother's subordinates who risked their lives to escape from Nanyang City and told me." Zhao Zifan cried, "I know what the two adults want. Although Zhao Molan almost wiped out our mother and son's influence in Nanyang, but that It’s just the forces on the surface, and some forces in the dark, which I can use here. In addition, after Zhao Molan came to power, the second and third children have nothing to rely on. People can use..."

Zhao Zifan began to blew his own strength, because Zhao Zifan was stupid and went to the doctor when he was sick, or Zhao Zifan was out of his mind. If Zhao Zhiheng and Zhao Si were here, although they would also blew their own strength, they would not say so much, even Even some rather secret channels were explained to Wang Mang and the others.

Faced with Zhao Zifan's sincere attitude, Lu Yuan suddenly said: "Zhao Zifan, if Zhao Zhiheng and Zhao Si are gone, can you command their subordinates?"

what?
Zhao Zifan looked at Lu Yuan suddenly, and after a while, he understood what Lu Yuan meant, and then he said happily: "As long as they die, their subordinates can only rely on me. After all, they can still live with me, so they run to rely on Zhao Molan That lunatic has no choice but to seek death!"

"Very good." Lu Yuan smiled and said nothing.

When Zhao Zifan left, Wang Mang and Lu Yuan frowned at the same time. Wang Mang said: "The father and son of the Zhao family are really weird. Zhao Shixiu doesn't treat his son like a son, and Zhao Molan doesn't treat Zhao Shixiu like a father. Said, if he had just told Zhao Zifan to help him get rid of Zhao Shixiu by the way, he must be very happy."

"The existence of the Zhao family is simply a disgrace to the court. A group of disloyal, unjust, filial, and unkind people are all dead, and the world will be peaceful!" Lu Yuan disdainfully said. His Lu family has always been known for its unity and friendship. They value the kindness of the father, the filial piety of the son, and the respect of brothers and sisters. People like the Zhao family are looked down upon by the Lu family.

Wang Mang also looked down on the Zhao family, and even said with some disgust: "At first, I wanted to support Zhao Zifan, let him succeed the new Zhao family head, and bring the new four major families to serve the court. Not on the wall."

"What about the two in the prison?" Lu Yuan asked.

"Continue to lock them up, and you can also check their tone by the way. If it is like Zhao Zifan, I don't think there is any need to keep it." Wang Mang said coldly: "Originally they were kept to deal with Zhao Shixiu, but now Zhao Zifan The head of the household has been replaced by a lunatic like Zhao Molan, so it's useless to keep it, so let's deal with it if it doesn't work."

"Deal with them?" Lu Yuan's expression changed, and he suddenly said, "If you really want to deal with them, I have a good idea here."

"Oh?" Wang Mang looked at Lu Yuan curiously, and Lu Yuan whispered his plan to Wang Mang. Wang Mang smiled and said, "Yes, I will do as you said."

At the same time, Zhou Caiqun rushed into the county government office sweating profusely. Everyone in the county government office knew that this was a disciple of Zhang Han, Ling Zhanghan of Nanyang. let go.

Seeing Wang Mang, Zhou Caiqun said, "My lord, it's not good, Nanyang has changed a lot!"

Wang Mang and Lu Yuan had heard about Nanyang's news from Zhao Zifan a long time ago, and they were not surprised. They directly ordered Zhou Caiqun to sit down and said, "It's about the Zhao family changing hands in Nanyang."

"That's why Zhao Molan put Zhao Shixiu under house arrest and became the patriarch of the Zhao family in Nanyang." Zhou Caiqun found out that Wang Mang and Wang Mang's expressions were calm, and he was stunned for a moment, and asked, "The two adults already knew about this?"

"I just found out." Wang Mang said with a smile, "Looking at your sweating profusely, you should have just learned about it."

"Just learned about it." Zhou Caiqun shook his head and said, "Master sent me a letter to tell me that the situation in Nanyang has changed drastically. Zhao Molan succeeded the Zhao family's patriarch, and the integrated power of the entire Zhao family is under the banner of the four major families. With the banner, he sharpened his sword and rushed towards the three families of Qian, Sun, and Li, preparing to integrate the power of the four major families in one fell swoop, and I don't know what this madman is going to do next."

"What?" Lu Yuan asked in surprise, "Zhao Molan wants to unify the four major families?"

Zhou Caiqun was taken aback, and said, "You don't know?"

"We just heard that Zhao Molan became the Patriarch of the Zhao family, and we don't know anything else." Wang Mang glanced at Lu Yuan, and immediately understood that Zhao Zifan probably didn't tell the truth just now, and concealed a lot of things from the two of them intentionally or unintentionally. What Zhou Caiqun knew, Zhao Zifan shouldn't know.

"Hey!" Zhou Caiqun sighed, and said, "Zhao Molan is ambitious and plans to unify the four major families, and all the power of the entire four major families. If he succeeds, Zhao Molan will have a huge power. My teacher is very grateful for this!" In order to be vigilant, I sent someone to send me a letter overnight, asking me to tell the two adults to be very careful about Zhao Molan."

Wang Mang looked at Zhou Caiqun, his expression changed, and he suddenly asked, "What do you think about this matter?"

"My lords, I also analyzed this matter on the way here." Zhou Caiqun pondered for a moment, and said: "Judging from the current situation, it seems that the imperial court is preparing to take action against the four major families in Nanyang. They are no match for the imperial court, but if the four major families are integrated into one family, they can almost occupy the entire land of Sanyang. At that time, even if the imperial court wants to move them, it will be very difficult under the general situation where the southern rebels still exist. "

After a pause, Zhou Caiqun continued: "In my opinion, this is what Zhao Molan wanted to do. He wanted to compete with the court for time, and he wanted to integrate the power of the four major families before the court took action. Zhao Molan will have a good future if he fights against the imperial court with the land of Sanyang, or takes refuge with the imperial court with the land of Sanyang. It is exactly what the art of war says about advancing, attacking, retreating, and defending. Zhao Molan is really a terrible person, but before Underestimate him!"

Hearing Zhou Caiqun's words, Wang Mang nodded secretly, closed his eyes, thought for a while, looked at Lu Yuan and said, "The original plan won't work. Since Zhao Molan wants to make a time difference with us, let's do it first."
