Rebirth of the best emperor

Chapter 457

There must be something in life sometimes.

Li Hong looked at Wang Mang with a miserable face. As early as after Fang Xizhi's death, Li Hong felt that he would be unlucky sooner or later. As early as then, Li Hong had been planning to escape.

However, after he made mistakes repeatedly, Wang Mang never dismissed him, but continued to let him stay in the position of Minister of the Household Department. For a long time, Li Hong felt that he had escaped a catastrophe.

However, what Hexi ordered Chen Hongliang to do broke all of Li Hong's fantasies. Li Hong has indeed been busy with settlements these days, but most of the time, his mind is full of random thoughts. He really didn't sleep much, but more It was because of Hexi's incident that kept him up all night.

After the victory at Hangu Pass, Wang Mang began to investigate the matter of Hangu Pass. Li Hong was completely terrified. After Li Guang took Hanjiang City, Li Hong was even more afraid. He just wanted to return to Chang'an quickly and stay away from Hangu. close.

But what should come will come after all, Chen Hongliang's incident finally involves him, and what makes Li Hong feel more destined is that Wang Mang actually met Nangong Wentian in Hanjiang City.

At that time, Li Hong asked Fang Xizhi to hire Nangong Wentian as the chief appraiser of Qingde Fang. After Nangong Wentian arrived, Li Hong asked Nangong Wentian to help appraise some strange stones, and then gave a very good one of them to Zhou. Feng, what Li Hong didn't expect was that Zhou Feng would bring a strange stone and asked Nangong Wentian to help him identify it. This incident left a deep impression on Nangong Wentian, and it also directly exposed the connection between Li Hong and Zhou Feng. , and the relationship between Zhou Feng and Fang's father and son undoubtedly involved that the relationship between Li Hong and Fang Xizhi was by no means that simple.

Fang Po happened to be raining overnight, Hexi ordered Chen Hongliang to find out some clues to the cold-faced judge Haifeng, so all the evidence pointed to Li Hong.

"I ask myself that I am sorry for you, Li Hong, and you, Li Hong, are the Minister of the Household Department of Daqin, the God of Wealth of Daqin, and have a pivotal position in Daqin. I really want to know why all this is?" Wang Mang looked at Li Hongdao .

"Your Majesty, I am ashamed of your majesty's grace. I beg your Majesty to give me a good time." Li Hong knelt deeply on the ground, only begging Wang Mang to give him a good time. If Wang Mang was not by his side, Li Hong would have slammed his head on the ground to death.

Seeing Li Hong like this, Wang Mang waved his hands and said, "Take him down and ask him carefully."

Li Lan immediately beckoned, and then several strong men came in from the outside and tied up Li Hong, then Li Lan sneered at Li Hong, and then led Li Hong down.

It doesn't matter if you don't speak, Li Lan has a hundred ways to make you speak.

Wang Mang was silent, Li Hong's actions had violated Wang Mang's bottom line to a certain extent, Li Hong's punishment was certain, but what Wang Mang wanted to know more was why Li Hong did this, and that legendary Xiaojiao was also Wang Mang want to find.

Wang Mang really wanted to know what this woman who stirred up the situation in the Qin Dynasty looked like, so that he could link Li Hong, Fang Xizhi, and Chen Hongliang together and use them for her.

"Qizou Your Majesty, there are envoys from South Korea."

Daqin occupied Hanjiang City, which was absolutely unacceptable to South Korea, which has always been proud. South Korea sent people to Hanjiang City almost as soon as they got the news of Gongsunyang's defeat.

Han Jin, as the right servant of the South Korean Ministry of War, has been in charge of food and army transfers in a big city five hundred miles away from Hangu Pass since the Hangu Pass started the war. This time he was close, so he was the first to arrive as an ambassador. Hangu Pass.

Han Jin grew up in South Korea. As soon as he became an official, he became an official in Hancheng. He was promoted to the right servant of the Ministry of Industry, and then to the right servant of the Ministry of War. He has experienced everything in wars, but most of them were wars with Zhao and Wei. , for Qin, Han Jin looked down on it from the bottom of his heart. A country far away in the wild land of the west, has never received the influence of Central Plains culture, so there is nothing worthy of attention.

In the Battle of Hangu Pass, Han Jin never thought about the defeat of the Han army from the bottom of his heart. It has not been a short time since the news of the defeat at Hangu Pass has spread, and Han Jin still does not believe it.

Hearing that the Qin people said that the emperor of Daqin was willing to meet him, Han Jin snorted coldly, and then strode towards Wang Mang. When he saw Wang Mang, he greeted Wang Mang routinely and said: "Your Majesty, the foreign minister wants to ask His Majesty. Your Majesty invaded My Han River City, what exactly do I intend to do?"

Han Jin's words fell into Wang Mang's ears, Wang Mang frowned, looked around and said, "Who is this person?"

"Your Majesty, this is Han Jin, the right servant of the Ministry of War of South Korea. He is here to meet His Majesty as the ambassador of South Korea."

"Ambassador from South Korea?" Wang Mang said with a smile, "Is there no one here from South Korea? Why did you send such an impolite person to see me?"

Hearing Wang Mang's disdainful tone, Han Jin immediately said angrily: "I am a state of etiquette and a superior country. Your Majesty humiliated foreign ministers so much. You need to know that foreign ministers are now Dahan's envoys, representing Dahan. , Is Your Majesty going to start an all-out war with Korea?"

"Is there no war yet?" Wang Mang said coldly: "From the day when your country's great general Shi Gandang led his army to invade our Hangu Pass, the war between my Great Qin and your South Korea began. Do you want to Tell me, is everything just Shi Gandang's private decision?"

"Your Majesty, let's put aside the matter of Shi Gandang for the time being. The ministers just want to ask Your Majesty, what is the purpose of occupying Hanjiang City?" Han Jin said loudly: "Hanjiang City is the inherent territory of Korea for thousands of years. I am an inseparable part of Dahan forever, Daqin occupies Hanjiang City, is it a declaration of war against me Dahan?"

"Emissary Han, you have to understand one thing first. This war was initiated by you, South Korea. It was your Korean general Shi Gandang who led the army to attack me at Hangu Pass. After Shi Gandang was defeated, you, Korea, Gongsun Yang led an army to attack our Hangu Pass again, and everything we did in Daqin was self-defense." Wang Mang said: "Han envoys must clearly realize that the war started when Shi Gandang attacked Hangu Pass, and It didn't start with my army occupying Hanjiang City. When the envoy Han asked me about occupying Hanjiang City, I wanted to ask the envoy Han, what is the intention of your hundreds of thousands of troops attacking Hangu Pass when you Korea is fighting without declaring it? for?"

Han Jin's face was flushed, he didn't expect Wang Mang to be so eloquent, he had no reason at all except to bring himself into the ditch.

Knowing that this is His Majesty who underestimated Daqin, and even more knowing that he has met an opponent, Han Jin suddenly respectfully saluted Wang Mang: "Foreign minister Han Jin sees Your Majesty, Long live Your Majesty, long live, long live, Han Jin is here , There are two purposes, one is to explain to His Majesty the matter of former Fan Shi Gandang leading an army to attack Hangu Pass, and the other is to ask His Majesty about Hanjiang City."

Faced with Han Jin whose attitude changed drastically, Wang Mang couldn't help but raise his brows. He immediately knew that all of Han Jin's seemingly reckless actions before were just a temptation to him.

To such a person, Wang Mang just waved his hand and said: "I'm tired today, come here, take Han envoy down, and if I have time tomorrow, I will meet again."
