Rebirth of the best emperor

Chapter 276 Please forgive me, Your Majesty!
"Your Majesty, do you see who I have captured for you?"

Li Lan walked towards Wang Mang with a smile, and behind him, two big men in royal guards walked in with a fat man with a slumped face.

Wang Mang looked at Li Lan strangely, then his eyes fell on the fat man carried by Jin Yiwei and asked, "Who is this?"

"Your Majesty, you don't recognize him. He is the envoy of Shenmu River, Nangong Zhe." Li Lan said with a smile, "Since the rebellion in the south, this old boy has disappeared. Unexpectedly, he is here in Shenmu County. Entering the city, someone reported it, and was picked up by Jin Yiwei." Li Lan said.

At this time, Nangongzhe said loudly: "Your Majesty, forgive me. Chen Nangongzhe kowtowed to Your Majesty. Long live Your Majesty. Your Majesty, I was wronged. I did not participate in the rebellion. I am loyal. Your Majesty is a sage, and your Majesty has learned from you!"

"Put him down!" Wang Mang said, and Jin Yiwei immediately put Nangongzhe down.

When Nangongzhe saw Jin Yiwei let him go, he kowtowed to the ground with his face full of meat, "Your Majesty, I miss you so much, I thought I would never see you again in this life. The moment I saw Tianyan, I was so happy, I was a little incoherent, but I was definitely a loyal minister, I didn't get involved in the messy things of the rebels, I was the most loyal minister of Daqin... ..."

Nangong Zhe continued to express his loyalty to Wang Mang, but Wang Mang just waved his hand and said, "You don't need to say these things are useless, I ask you, where have you been hiding these two years?"

"I'm hiding here in Shenmu County." Nangong Zhe said: "After all, I'm the envoy of the Shenmu River, and he can be regarded as a local snake here, and the most dangerous place is the safest place. After hiding for two years, Wang Xi's rebel The minister was not found."

"Hehe, if you really want the imperial court, why didn't you go back to the capital and what are you doing in Shenmu County?" Wang Mang said.

"I am always looking forward to the moment when the imperial army arrives. I want to go undercover in this dragon pool and tiger's lair to collect information for the imperial court. When the imperial court defeats the Shenmu, I can do my best for the imperial court and His Majesty." Nangong Philosophy.

"Now that I personally led the army into the Shenmu, what did you do for the army to enter the Shenmu?" Wang Mang looked at Nangong Zhe.

Nangongzhe opened his mouth and said with a blushing face, "Your Majesty, it's not that I didn't do it, it's that the army came too fast, and I haven't realized it yet. I'm really ready to be loyal to the court at all times."

"Nangong Zhe!" Wang Mang shouted suddenly.

"The minister is here." Nangong Zhe was shocked, looking at Wang Mang with some fear.

"Nangongzhe, do you think I'm an idiot, and you can fool around as much as you want?" Wang Mang stared at Nangongzhe, and said with a sneer, "Don't think that I don't know anything, are you planning to hedge your bets?"

"I never think so." Nangongzhe kowtowed violently.

"No idea?" Wang Mang said with a sneer, "I don't need to tell you about the messy things in your Hedao Yamen, Wei Changhong, Wei Changyou, you Nangongzhe seem to have nothing to do with the Wei family brothers. But I know that you have a relationship, and the relationship is very deep."

"Chen..." Nan Gongzhe slumped on the ground when he heard Wang Mang mentioning the brothers of the Wei family.

"Why, do you still want to deny it?" Wang Mang snorted, and said, "The brothers of the Wei family have already been executed, and the Wei family has also been confiscated by me. Do you really think that I have never read the letters between you and the brothers of the Wei family?"

"Chen... The guilty minister was bewitched by ghosts for a while, and was bewitched by the brothers of the Wei family. The guilty minister really didn't know anything. They were the two brothers who ordered me to do it. Please forgive me, Your Majesty!" Nangongzhe said with a broken face. .

"Bewitched? Bewitched?" Wang Mang laughed loudly and said, "You Nangongzhe bet on both sides. Back then, the reason why Wang Xi was able to enter Shenmu County so quickly was that there was a mysterious person who gave Wang Xi a lot of help at the critical moment. , this person is you, whether you admit it or not."

"The brothers of the Wei family asked the criminal to do this. The criminal is really innocent. Your Majesty has learned from you!" Nangong Zhe shouted.

"You Nangong Zhe made a good idea. Bet on both sides. This side quietly makes Wang Xi owe you a favor. If Wang Xi's rebellion succeeds, then you Nangong Zhe will be a great achievement, but you Nangong Zhe will not Silly, you didn't dare to bet that Wang Xi would win, so you hid yourself after helping Wang Xi. Your idea was that if Wang Xi failed one day, you never participated in the rebellion, and you still have a chance to save him. If you help Zhen break into Shenmu at that time, and you also make great contributions, then it is really a good plan, a good idea!" Wang Mang looked at Nangongzhe coldly.

"Your Majesty, have mercy!" Nangongzhe was frightened, Wang Mang told his plan exactly, he was really scared.

"Forgive me?" Wang Mang looked at Nangong Zhe and said, "Even if I forgive you, it's because of you, can the guards of the three counties who died unjustly back then forgive you?"

"Your Majesty, the sinful minister knows his mistakes. The sage said that knowing his mistakes can be corrected. There is nothing good about it. Your Majesty, please forgive me!" Nan Gongzhe cried loudly.

"The sage also said that if you don't change after repeated admonitions, there is no cure!" Wang Mang sneered, and said, "Li Lan, press this person out and behead him for public display!"

"Slave complies with the order!" Li Lan kowtowed, then waved his hand, and the two Jinyi guards slipped Nangongzhe up again, and walked out directly.

"Your Majesty, spare your life!"

Nangongzhe let out a shrill scream, but Wang Mang was unmoved at all, and soon, Nangongzhe's voice went far away.

Changsun Wuji invited Wang Mang to see him, and saw Wang Mang and said, "Your Majesty, on the way here just now, I saw Eunuch Li taking Nangongzhe, the former envoy of the Shenmu River, and said that he was beheaded to show the public. I feel strange that this Nangongzhe has disappeared. Two years, why did it suddenly appear?"

"He's fishing in troubled waters." Wang Mang said with a smile, "This guy is also a smart guy, but it's a pity that he didn't use the right place. He wanted to take advantage of the army and just entered the city. He didn't know the situation, so he first cleaned himself up, but I don’t know that I got some things about him from the brothers of the Wei family, and got some clues from Wang Jitang, if the two are combined, he will be exposed, smart man, what a pity!”

"Man is doing it, and God is watching. He has done bad things and suffered retribution." Changsun Wuji sighed and said, "Your Majesty, since the establishment of the General Staff Office, it has not made an inch of merit. The new recruits of the General Staff Office They all have some ideas. Yesterday Wang Dun and Gao Shi brought a few scholars to find me, saying that it is better to travel thousands of miles than to read thousands of books, and I want to go to the front to personally participate in the battle. I think what they said is very reasonable, please show me your Majesty. Down."

"The sharp edge of a sword comes from sharpening, and the fragrance of plum blossoms comes from the bitter cold. You can't see a rainbow without going through wind and rain, and you can't grow plum blossoms in a greenhouse." Wang Mang nodded and said: "It's a good thing that they have such an idea, I agree. "

"Thank you, Your Majesty, on behalf of the scholars." Changsun Wuji said, "But Your Majesty, where should we send them?"

"Naturally, go to the most difficult place." Wang Mang smiled.

Changsun Wuji was taken aback for a moment, wondering if he was being too ruthless, but then calmed down, thinking that it was time for those scholars to sharpen themselves.
