Rebirth of the best emperor

Chapter 310

"Your Majesty spared my life. I also got greedy for a while, so I got involved with those people. Your Majesty must spare my life..."

Li Hong started to talk about the matter to Wang Mang like crying bitterly.

Three days ago, a few luxuriously dressed and graceful people visited Li Hong. These people were very good at what they liked and gave Li Hong some small and big gadgets.

Li Hong has many advantages, but his disadvantages are also obvious, that is, he has no resistance to yellow and white things. After these people do what they like, Li Hong just started talking nonsense, claiming that he is an important minister of the emperor , is the most trusted courtier of the Great Qin Emperor today, as long as it is what he says, there is no Wang Mang who will not agree.

Li Hong can achieve this position today, and his IQ is absolutely no problem. He is very clear that these people will never simply give him gifts when they come to him. He knows that these people have something to ask for.

Li Hong originally thought that these people would speak loudly, but he never thought that these people just made a small request to Li Hong in the end, that is to delay the time for the Qin army to attack the Guo army as much as possible. If it is really impossible to delay, it doesn't matter , but I hope Li Hong will remind them in advance when the time comes.

They told Li Hong very pitifully that they were only taking money from others to do things for others. The most important thing was that the people they were loyal to had already thought that the rebel army was completely finished and there was no hope. They just wanted to save their lives, so I hope Li Hong will tell you in advance, and then they can spare some time to arrange their escape.

Li Hong was dizzy from being hit by a large number of treasures. Although he felt that these people were a little suspicious and the reason was a little suspicious, but if it was just delaying the time for some troops to go out, or to inform the other party of the time for the big army to go out, Li Hong felt that it would be okay. no big deal.

"Your Majesty, I feel that there are hundreds of thousands of troops here. Once the army goes out to fight, the movement will be very important. Even if I don't say anything, some people know about it. Whether I say it or not won't affect anything. Your loyalty to Your Majesty is incredible. Jian, please spare your life, Your Majesty!" Li Hong bowed his head and kowtowed continuously.

"Loyalty?" Wang Mang chuckled, and said, "Li Hong, you still have the face to say loyalty to me, so I ask you, why don't these people go to someone else, but to you?"

"This...maybe...this, maybe it's because the minister is a civil servant and doesn't have any guards, so it's easier to ask to see him." Li Hong hesitated.

"Do you believe it yourself?" Wang Mang snorted.

Li Hong suddenly didn't dare to speak. He wanted to say that he believed it, but he knew very well that he absolutely didn't believe it.

Seeing that Li Hong drooped his head and dared not speak, Wang Mang said, "Do you know who those people are?"

"Your Majesty, I really asked someone to inquire about it." Hearing what Wang Mang said, Li Hong felt that he might run away, so he quickly said, "Although my mind is not good, I am still not confused about important matters. These people Unexplainably ran out to give gifts to the minister, the minister was always a little skeptical, so after sending these people away, the minister ordered his confidantes to follow. In the end, although they did not find out the origin of these people, they found that they were somewhat different from Mei Yuan. related, so I didn’t continue to pursue it.”

"Plum Garden?" Wang Mang frowned.

"It's Meiyuan. Although Meiyuan is only an elementary school boss, his backside is not easy to provoke, so I didn't pursue it further." Li Hongdao.

Hearing what Li Hong said, Wang Mang remembered the origin of Meiyuan. Although there is no top-level holy sect power such as Jixia Academy in Daqin, there are still some small school lords. Among them, Meiyuan is a famous school in the south. Although Li Hong said that he was a schoolboy, Meiyuan is not small in the south. Many officials in the south have a lot to do with Meiyuan. At least Wang Mang knew a lot of Nanyang when he was in Nanyang. The officials in Xinyang are the disciples and grandchildren of Meiyuan.

Since this matter involves Meiyuan, there are some things in it that are more interesting. Wang Mang's eyes flashed, and he said, "Who is behind Meiyuan?"

"It's the White Horse Academy." Li Hong gritted his teeth and said, "Many people know about this matter. The founder of Meiyuan was a university student of the White Horse Academy. To some extent, Meiyuan is a subordinate of the White Horse Academy. power."

"Then who is behind the White Horse Academy?" Wang Mang said.

"This... I don't know." Li Hong broke out in cold sweat on his forehead.

"I don't know or I don't want to say." Wang Mang's voice was cold.

Li Hong gritted his teeth, and finally said: "I really don't know who is behind the White Horse Academy, but I heard that the people from the White Horse Academy may have something to do with Jixia Academy."

"How to say?" Wang Mang took a sip of tea.

"These are all rumors, they may not be true." Li Hong said.

"It's groundless, and it may not be without reason. What kind of rumors are you talking about? Why do you say that White Horse Academy and Jixia Academy are involved." Wang Mang said.

"White Horse Academy will have students entering Jixia Academy every few years." Li Hongdao: "Your Majesty also heard what Haifeng and Zhang Han said before. Neither of them can enter Jixia Academy because of their talents and learning. It can be seen that How much the two holy places discriminate against my Daqin scholars, and in this case, Baima Academy actually has a way to send scholars to Jixia Academy, even if they want to connect the two families, it is impossible .”

"White Horse Academy?" Wang Mang frowned.

Different from Meiyuan, Baima Academy is a well-known university school in Daqin. It and Qinchuan School are old schools in Daqin. Students are all over the world. Many scholars selected by Daqin every year for many years come from Baima Academy, including this one. Among the new batch of scholars selected by Wang Mang, as far as Wang Mang knows, there are more than ten people who were born in Baima Academy. From this, we can see the status of Baima Academy in the Daqin academic circle. It is no wonder that Li Hong checked again. After Meiyuan, the investigation was stopped.

But even though the power of the White Horse Academy spreads across the government and the public, Daqin is my Daqin, and this Daqin still has no turn for his Whitehorse Academy to be presumptuous!

Wang Mang sneered, then looked at Li Hong and said, "Li Hong, now is the time when the court employs people, so I won't punish you this time. In this way, all the treasures you have received will be donated to the court as military pay. As for your own The crime, let’s wait for this matter, I see that you are making a decision, and there is another one, that is, what you said to me today, you are not allowed to say it.”

Li Hong kowtowed with pain on his face, "Thank you, Your Majesty, Long En!"

Li Hong walked to his room with a calm face, then took a deep breath, and collapsed on the ground. He was really frightened this time. He really thought that he would not be able to come back just now, so he escaped his life by chance. , Li Hong felt that he was really lucky. When he calmed down completely, Li Hong screamed "My beloved baby!", and fell into endless grief.

Wang Mang's consciousness has been falling on Li Hong's body vaguely, until Li Hong screamed, Wang Mang laughed, retracted his meaning, then turned cold, and called Li Lan, "Go and tell Wang Jian Let him go to Qin Mengyao and ask if she should give Xu Wenqiang's head to me!"

Li Lan was startled, then went directly to look for Wang Jian without saying anything.

After Li Lan left, Wang Mang clapped his hands again. Lin Yuxin walked out of the shadow beside Wang Mang with a complex expression. Wang Mang stretched out his arms to embrace Lin Yuxin, and then embraced Lin Yuxin in his arms. Lin Yuxin screamed and tried to push her away. Wang Mang, but failed. Wang Mang stretched out his hand to walk on Lin Yuxin's body. Lin Yuxin suddenly became weak and collapsed on Wang Mang.

Wang Mang smiled and said, "Lin Yuxin, you are my man, there is no need for you to see others like this all the time, I don't want to be like this."

"You..." Lin Yuxin wanted to scold, but she restrained herself, knowing that she could not take advantage of Wang Mang, so she could only let Wang Mang do as he wanted.

Of course, Wang Mang wasn't interested in having anything to do with Lin Yuxin today, even if she was, she couldn't have had anything to do with Lin Yuxin in broad daylight and in public.

Taking some advantage, Wang Mang let go of Lin Yuxin, and said, "How is your Shadow Assassin training?"

"The people His Majesty entrusted to me have very good qualifications, and now they have all entered the threshold, and they have some initial combat effectiveness." Lin Yuxin continued: "Of course, compared with the Shadow Assassin under me before, they are still a little worse. .”

"I just want to know, can these people go to the battlefield now?" Wang Mang said.

"Yes, but there will be a lot of casualties." Lin Yuxin said: "My personal suggestion is not to let them go to the battlefield. In half a year at most, their combat effectiveness will be quite good, and they will be able to play a greater role at that time."

"Of course I know these things, but I need manpower now, I just want to know if they can be used?" Wang Mang looked at Lin Yuxin directly.

"It can be used." Lin Yuxin was silent, thinking that these people are yours anyway, and the loss is also your loss, and it has nothing to do with me.

"As long as it can be used." Wang Mang said: "I didn't expect them to do anything, I just asked them to thank the scouts for their work. Anyway, they did this work before they were assigned to you."

"Just doing scout work?" Lin Yuxin looked at Wang Mang with some doubts, and then said: "If they only do these jobs, then they can still be competent."

"That's fine." Wang Mang pulled Lin Yuxin into his arms, then leaned close to Lin Yuxin's ear, whispered for a while, Lin Yuxin blushed after listening, and then left as if fleeing while Wang Mang was not paying attention.

"I will finish what you told me." Lin Yuxin called before leaving.

Wang Mang let Lin Yuxin go, and then gently rubbed his temples. After dealing with so many things at once, Wang Mang was really tired.

far among the rebels.

Wang Xi was entertaining a few people in luxurious and graceful clothes with a happy expression on his face. Although as a prince, Wang Xi had always been well-clothed and well-fed, but now he was very careful when he was serving people.

"Master Jiang, with your status, you actually came to Xiao Wang's place. Xiao Wang really doesn't know how to entertain you. If it wasn't for Xiao Wang's time of distress, he would have spread red for more than ten miles to welcome your lord." Wang Xi He flattered the indifferent middle-aged man sitting at the top.

"You should understand the meaning of my lord's coming here." An old man on the left said: "We originally wanted to go to Emperor Qin, but Mr. Jiang felt that he was old with you, so he decided to go to see Emperor Qin first. Come to see you. You should know how to do it."

"Of course Xiao Wang understands that as long as the adults are willing to support Xiao Wang to take back everything that Xiao Wang lost, from that day on, within the sphere of Xiao Wang's influence, the adults' people can walk freely." Wang Xi said directly.

Of course Wang Xi knew what his promise meant, but for Wang Xi, even if there was a glimmer of hope, he was willing to give everything. Anyway, if he died, all these promises would be in vain, but if he could get everything back, some A small benefit is really nothing to the emperor of a country.

Anyway, I'm already close to losing everything, even if I'm losing some, what's the big deal, the left and right are also generous to others!
Mr. Jiang was very satisfied with Wang Xi's answer, and said: "Sure enough, I did not misunderstand you. You are very good. I think that a little prince is not suitable for your ability. I think you should know about me." mean."

"Xiao Wang, thank you for your promotion!" Wang Xi was so excited that he almost knelt down to the master in front of him.

Only Wang Xi knows what this person in front of him represents. This Mr. Jiang, whose original name is Jiang Yuanyi, is a university student of this generation of Jixia Academy. According to Wang Xi's understanding, the university student who is qualified to inherit the position of Palace Master is also ranked extremely high among those who are qualified to inherit the position of Palace Master. He would really flatter a university student from Jixia Academy so much, despite his current downcast appearance, if he could really get the support of Jiang Yuanyi, and even further get the support of Jixia Academy behind Jiang Yuanyi, then he might not be Wang Xi. You can't take the throne from that child Wang Mang, no matter how bad it is, you can get back all the wealth you lost.

Jiang Yuanyi was very satisfied with Wang Xi being so upright. As a university student, Jiang Yuanyi knew that it was time to give Wang Xi a taste of the sweetness, so he said, "Wang Xi, I am very satisfied with you. , I still have a few people who need to use it, so I will use it for you."

As he said that, Wang Xi clapped his hands towards the outside. At that time, seven scholars in Confucian uniforms walked in. The first time I saw these seven people, they were ordinary, but if I took a second look, I found that these seven people had a long breath. , and the breath is connected together, and there is an extremely powerful force inside.

"Who are these teachers?" Wang Xi looked at Jiang Yuanyi with a puzzled look.

Jiang Yuanyi didn't speak, and the old man sitting beside him said proudly: "This is the guardian of my Jixia Academy, seven of them are one body, and after training for a while, the seven of them work together, and they are ordinary innate late-stage masters. I can't do anything to them for a while."

Wang Xi's eyes widened in surprise, congenital late-stage masters, God, Wang Xi knows that for so many years, he has recruited many masters, and none of them are congenital late-stage masters, but now he just joined Jiang Yuan Yi, the master gave himself one. With such strength, he could simply sweep Daqin.

Jiang Yuan was very proud of Wang Xi's reaction. This is what a nobleman in a border country should behave. He is arrogant and ignorant. As long as he shows some tricks, he will bow down at his feet.

Jiang Yuan was very satisfied with his arrangement, and said: "Before I came here, I have already made an agreement with the important ministers of Daqin. Before they attack, they will notify us, and then you can take advantage of the chaos and join the Guo army." left."

"Ah?" Wang Xi was shocked, and then he was overjoyed. As soon as he joined the Guo army, he regretted it. Guo Changfu not only didn't see him, but even imprisoned him directly. For a person like him who has never looked down on Guo , is simply a huge insult.

Now Jiang Yuanyi is telling him that he can take the opportunity to leave. This is simply the most pleasing voice in the world, and it makes Wang Xi feel more and more that his decision to join Jiang Yuanyi is the wisest decision he has ever made in his life, so that Wang Xi said directly. : "My lord, since we have such strength, why don't we just take the dog's head of the little emperor. When the time comes, the little king will take the throne, and he will definitely enshrine the Jixia Academy as our state religion of Daqin, and your lord as our state teacher of Daqin. The status is above Xiaowang."

Jiang Yuanyi's expression moved, he was quite moved, but thinking of some taboos, he said: "There are some things you don't understand, you just need to follow the arrangement of this seat, and your benefits will always be indispensable."

After bidding farewell to Jiang Yuanyi, Wang Xi looked cold. Although he served Jiang Yuanyi carefully, he knew very well in his heart that he was just a useful pawn to Jiang Yuanyi.

As a superior, Wang Xi knew very well that as a chess piece, when it was useful, the superior would reward it generously, but if it was useless, the superior would discard the chess piece without hesitation.

In Wang Xi's opinion, there is a high probability that he will be abandoned, or in other words, he is afraid that there is a high probability that he will be abandoned.

Wang Xi didn't know why Jixia Academy, which has always been a high school, suddenly came to Daqin and intervened in Daqin's internal affairs, but Wang Xi knew that the weasel paid New Year's greetings, so he didn't act kindly.

Young man Wang Mang, I know that I can't beat you in this life, but these people from Jixia Academy are not easy to mess with, hehe!

Wang Xi was clear in his heart, but he didn't know. After Jiang Yuanyi didn't agree to take Wang Mang's head directly, Wang Xi also knew that Jixia Academy never thought of making himself emperor from the beginning to the end. Xi clearly saw that Jiang Yuan was moved by his proposal, but in the end he seemed to be afraid of something and gave up his proposal. Then there was only one ending for him, which was to exchange benefits with Daqin as a bargaining chip.

The so-called letting him leave first is just to control himself in order to negotiate with Daqin!
Jiang Yuanyi is also careless. Although he is a university student and one of the successors of the master of Jixia Academy, he is still a little immature compared with those old foxes who have been fighting each other for countless years in the court. He never thought about it. Wang Xi, who has been respectful to him from the beginning to the end, will dig holes in his words and get news out of his own mouth.

Zhao Wuji and Zhou Weiguo sent Jiang Yuanyi away, looked at each other, Zhao Wuji said directly: "Old Zhou, do you think this is reliable?"

"What's the matter?" Zhou Weiguo pretended to be confused.

"Hmph, Lao Zhou, don't think I don't know about your tricks." Zhao Wuji sneered and said, "No matter how well you pretend, you thought those adults just didn't know that we eavesdropped, but they didn't care about us ants. .”

"Yeah, we're just ants. Since we're ants, why do you care so much?" Zhou Weiguo snorted, "When the sky falls, there's a tall man to hold it up. At any time, it won't be the turn of ants like you and me." Now, I, Zhou Weiguo, have always followed the rules and never do anything beyond my ability. I have no control over what you want to do, but if you want to die, don't pull me!"

After finishing speaking, Zhou Weiguo turned around and walked away. Zhao Wuji looked gloomy, stared at Zhou Weiguo's back and said, "Old Zhou, ants are still alive, I don't believe that you really don't have any thoughts in your heart."

Zhou Weiguo paused, then left without looking back.

Zhao Wuji stared at the direction Zhou Weiguo was leaving with a gloomy expression, and then stomped his feet fiercely. Although he was an ant, even an ant could kill an elephant at the end of his life.

In the big tent of the Guo army, Guo Changfu looked at a letter in his hand and was speechless for a long time.

If Wang Xi were here, he would definitely be shocked. In this letter, almost every detail of the matter between him and Jiang Yuanyi was written in the letter.

I don't know what means Guo Guo used to convey what happened just now to Guo Changfu so clearly.

"My lord, how should we deal with people like Wang Xi?" A man wrapped in black in front of Guo Changfu made a ghostly voice.

"Don't deal with them, let them go." Guo Changfu said silently: "We must give Jixia Academy some face. Our goal is only the three counties of Shenmu. As long as we take down the three counties of Shenmu, our country will have a passage to the north. There will always be a chance to get more land in the future, Wang Xi has always been just an excuse for us, and now this excuse has been used up, since Jixia Academy wants to use him for something, then take it."

"Your Majesty is wise!" Hei Ying said, "There is one more thing I want to tell the Monarch. Our country and the Xu Kingdom have been exchanging letters every day, but since yesterday, we have not received any letters."

"Now there are people everywhere, and there are all kinds of things. Maybe something has delayed the time. It's not like this kind of thing happened before. Just send someone to investigate." Guo Changfu thought for a while, and said: " A few days ago, a lot of powerful people came from Qin Jun, but can you find out who they are?"

"We have sent all the people to investigate, but now the Qin Army's defense is so tight that we can't penetrate it. The dark hands left before have all lost contact a few days ago. Now we have many things about the Qin Army. I can't even figure it out." Hei Ying said: "But I don't think there is any need to worry about this matter. We already know the strength of the Qin army from Wang Xi, and there is nothing special to pay attention to."

Guo Changfu frowned, fell silent for a while, and said: "It's better to be careful, I always feel a little terrified in my heart, as if something bad is about to happen."

"Your Majesty, don't worry, I'll send someone to investigate again immediately. If I still can't find out this time, then I will go there myself." Hei Ying bowed his head and said.

Guo Changfu's face was relieved now, he waved his hands to signal the black shadow to go down, and then clapped his hands, some important ministers of Guo State walked into Guo Changfu's big tent one by one.
