Rebirth of the best emperor

Chapter 715 It's Impossible
Zhang Jian looked at the ten carts of gold, silver and jewels behind Li Hong, and completely put out his thoughts of fighting with Wang Mang. What followed was a scene of harmony between the monarch and his subjects. Zhang Jian even said with tears that after returning to his hometown, he would bury himself in writing his years of experience in governing the country into a book as a training for the scholars of Qin.

Afterwards, Wang Mang personally sent Zhang Jian out of the city. The monarch and his ministers had a good time at the gate of Chang'an, which moved the onlookers.

"Father, why do you want to give the emperor face like this?" Zhang Ming didn't understand the situation until he left Chang'an for a long time, and finally couldn't help but ask Zhang Jian.

Zhang Jian sighed and said: "Remember, those who respect others will always respect them. The emperor respects me so much today. If I don't know how to praise me, I am afraid that Zhang Jian will lose my reputation in Qin after today."

"It's not that serious, is it?" Zhang Ming said.

"No?" Zhang Jian sneered: "You are still too young, why are you so pretentious when you are the emperor, you think he doesn't want to kill me, it's not that he can't kill me, he is really afraid that killing me will cause harm to his rule However, he does not have good intentions, just like today's scene, after he created it, if I dare to betray Qin, I will be cast aside by the people of the world."

"This..." Zhang Ming murmured, "Then where shall we go now?"

"Go home." Zhang Jian sighed.

"Not going to Korea?" Zhang Ming asked in surprise.

"I can't go anymore." Zhang Jian said: "Originally, I planned to seek political asylum in South Korea on the grounds that I was not well received in Qin State, but today there is such a commotion in Chang'an City, I am afraid that I will not believe it when I say it. , The road to South Korea was also blocked by the emperor, the emperor wants to trap me in the state of Qin."

"Ah?" Zhang Ming couldn't help but said, "What about uncle and brother?"

"Let him stay at ease in the Three Kingdoms of Han, Zhao, and Wei." Zhang Jian sighed, and said, "Zhang Ming, don't you realize that the emperor already knows about my sending my family abroad?"

"How did the Son of Heaven know?" Zhang Ming said, "He knew and let father go out of the city."

"Otherwise? Catch me?" Zhang Jian shook his head and said, "I'm just an old man. Even if the emperor catches me, he won't get anything except damage to his reputation."

"After all, my father is the elder of the three dynasties, and he holds many secrets of Qin." Zhang Ming couldn't help but said.

"That was Qin State's secret before." Zhang Jian said, "Since Your Majesty passed three passes in Shangyuan Palace and regained power from the Queen Mother, we have never entered His Majesty's inner circle. What secrets are there, as for the ones I have mastered, they are nothing in front of today's emperor, as I told you before, the waters of Qin State are deep."

The carriage drove towards Zhang Jian's hometown, and Zhang Jian also devoted himself to teaching Zhang Ming. Although Zhang Ming was Zhang Jian's eldest son, he had never been valued by Zhang Jian before, and now he was the only one around Son, Zhang Jian had no choice but to teach him well. He only hoped that Zhang Ming could be cultivated in a short period of time, which would be useful. As for the second son, Zhang Jian's eyes fell on a carriage, and he couldn't help shaking his head.

In Chang'an City, although the crowd had already dispersed, countless people were still discussing the emperor's favor for Zhang Jian, discussing and discussing, and finally there was a voice that satisfied Wang Mang.

"If Zhang Jian is sorry to His Majesty and the State of Qin in the future, he will be in vain!"

This sentence quickly spread throughout Chang'an, and then spread in all directions.

And Wang Mang had already returned to the palace, Shang Yang respectfully said: "Congratulations, Your Majesty, that Zhang Jian must have twisted his mouth in anger at this moment."

"No, Zhang Jian is very deep in the city. Even if he is angry, he won't say a word, he just keeps it in his heart. He can't let people see his emotions. After all, he is very deep in the city. Zhang Jian." Wang Mang smiled and said, "Lin Yuxin, what is Zhang Jian's direction now?"

"He went back to his hometown." Lin Yuxin said: "I found out from his driver that Zhang Jian originally planned to head east to Hangu Pass after leaving the city, but now he temporarily changed his direction and went back to his hometown in the south."

"Haha." Shang Yang said with a smile: "It seems that Zhang Jian knows that His Majesty will not let him go."

"He is an old fox, of course he knows it." Wang Mang said flatly.

Deng Fang came in at this time and reported: "Your Majesty, Changsun Wuji has returned and is waiting outside to see His Majesty."

"Changsun Wuji is back? Let him in quickly." Wang Mang said.

Changsun Wuji was sent by Wang Mang to search for the senior masters of the Legalists. Now that he is back, he must have gained something.

Sure enough, Changsun Wuji came back with joy on his face, kowtowed and said: "Your Majesty, I have fulfilled my mission."

"Really?" Wang Mang was surprised.

"Yes, I have toured many places this time, and found many senior experts of my legal school. Among them, three seniors were persuaded by my minister to come to serve in our Daqin." Changsun Wuji said: "The three seniors are all talented The strength of the gods has not shown up in the mainland for a long time, they came here secretly this time, and now they have been settled, they don't like to show their faces, but as long as His Majesty tells them, they are willing to act for Qin."

Three gods?

Wang Mang's face froze, but he said immediately: "That's right, Wuji is lucky."

Changsun Wuji was a little stunned. He didn't know that Wang Mang had already broken through to become a master of transformation in such a short period of time, so the legalist seniors he found in the transformation of gods could not surprise Wang Mang at all.

But Wang Mang soon figured it out. After all, the mainland is just surging secretly, and on the surface it is similar to the past. The master of transforming gods was indeed a great master in the past, but it is useless now.

Wang Mang glanced at Shang Yang and Changsun Wuji. These two were the great heroes he had established himself in the Qin State in the early stage, but their strength is not enough now. He immediately took out two golden pills and let them swallow them without any explanation. The aura of the middle stage of Dao Jindan disappeared in the palace in a flash.

Feeling the surging power in their bodies, Shang Yang and Changsun Wuji's faces were full of shock. Shang Yang knew that Wang Mang had a master who was powerful enough to kill fifty Jindan masters at will, but now it seems that the emperor is also very is extraordinary.

"What level of cultivation is Your Majesty now?" Shang Yang asked.

"Shenhuashen." Wang Mang said indifferently: "After working hard in Yunzhong City this time, I was lucky enough to break through to the realm of transforming gods. It's only after reaching this level that I realized that I was a little bit spectator before."

No wonder!
Only then did Changsun Wuji realize why Wang Mang was so surprised at first, but when he learned that the two he had found were only at the level of the God of Transformation, his expression became flat. .

"Your Majesty, do you know the truth about horse bones in Qianjin City?" Changsun Wuji asked.

Wang Mang was taken aback for a moment, and then said: "I'm too impatient, Wuji, I'm very happy that the three senior Legalists came to Qin without toil, and I'm willing to enshrine the three as my Daqin scholar garden with five hundred yuan stones every year. Master, I wonder if the three teachers are willing?"

Five hundred yuan stone?

Changsun Wuji is stupid, but he is a serious disciple of Legalism. A righteous man of Legalism must first correct himself. He has always been a well-known poor man sent by various universities. Five hundred yuan stones may make countless seniors of Legalism flock to him.

"Too many, Your Majesty." Changsun Wuji couldn't help but said.

"Since it is a horse bone in the city of thousands of gold, if there are not many, it will have no effect." Wang Mang said: "Wuji, Qin is now in crisis. People are important, not money. As long as Qin can be preserved, there will be plenty of money in the future."

"Your Majesty is holy." Changsun Wuji couldn't help kowtowing to Wang Mang. With an emperor like Wang Mang, why would Qin be unhappy.

Now that Changsun Wuji has returned, Wang Mang does not intend to let Changsun Wuji go out in the short term, and said: "Wuji, I will hand over the daily work of Shiziyuan to you in the future. Shiziyuan is the reserve official trained by our Qin State. The place is very important and cannot be missed, I entrust this burden to you, and you are willing to bear it."

"I am willing, but I am afraid that I will lose His Majesty's trust." Changsun Wuji said.

"You just do things, I will always be the most steadfast backbone behind you." Wang Mang said: "In addition, the scholars who participated in the Southern Expedition were judged according to the regulations, and the ranking of the upper, middle and lower grades must be fair and reasonable. Those with high grades will be sent to the local government and the army to serve, the middle-level ones will stay in various yamen in Chang'an as officials, and the rest will be used as appropriate, you can understand."

"I understand." Changsun Wuji said, "I will finish this matter within three days."

"I believe in you." Wang Mang looked at Shang Yang again and said, "Shang Yang, now it's not like before, the entire court can be completely in charge, you don't have to have any taboos, the pace of the reform should be faster and the intensity should be greater , don’t have any worries, I will ask Bing Ma Si Wang Qinian to cooperate with you, and anyone who dares to obstruct the reform will be arrested.”

"Your Majesty complies with the decree." Shang Yang kowtowed and said, "During your Majesty's absence in Chang'an, I have drawn up 33 reform items, and they will be promulgated and implemented one by one when His Majesty returns."

"Okay." Wang Mang couldn't help but nodded, then his expression changed, and he said, "I have guests here, you go out first."

Shang Yang and Changsun Wuji were taken aback for a moment, and Shang Yang said, "Your Majesty, who is it?"

"It's useless for you to stay here, my cultivation is much better than yours." Wang Mang smiled.

Shang Yang and Changsun Wuji looked at each other, and finally left under Wang Mang's order, just as Wang Mang said, their cultivation was still too low.

After going out, Shang Yang looked at Changsun Wuji and said, "I want to become stronger."

"Me too." Changsun Wuji said: "It's only been a long time. We are already so far behind His Majesty. If we don't become stronger as soon as possible, we will soon be unable to keep up with His Majesty's footsteps."

"Yes, I once vowed to be a pioneer for His Majesty, but the current situation is that I don't have this ability at all." Shang Yang said: "But my disciples of Legalism are cultivating realms. As long as my reform measures can continue to be implemented, I will Once you get the cultivation base, you will continue to strengthen, Wuji, next I will play big."

"Shang Yang, you and I are brothers, you can rest assured." Changsun Wuji said: "Our Legalism is in decline under the persecution of Jixia Academy, if Qin can set up a great banner for Legalism on the mainland , the senior masters of my Legal School are definitely willing to come to help, I will go to those three seniors now to see if they have any clues to contact the saints of my Legal School."

Changsun Wuji and Shang Yang parted ways, and an old man appeared in Wang Mang's study with a gloomy expression. He looked at Wang Mang coldly and said, "I have been to Chang'an many times before, but I have never had a chance to see you. I didn't expect to be so lucky this time, I met you here, I asked you to answer, you understand."

"Who are you?" Wang Mang asked.

"Who am I?" The old man sneered, "Old man Zhou Li, nicknamed the cold-faced killer."

"Is it Zhou Feng and Zhou Yan from the Tiandao Zhou family?" Wang Mang felt relieved. At first he thought that someone from the holy sect like Jixia Academy had come to trouble him, but he didn't expect it to be a so-called cold face. As soon as Wang Mang heard that his surname was Zhou, he guessed that this person had something to do with Zhou Feng and Zhou Yan, whom he had killed earlier.

"You actually guessed my origin." Zhou Li was stunned for a moment, he thought he had to tell Wang Mang about his origin so that Wang Mang would know who he was.

"Seeing that you have a long knife on your back and your surname is Zhou, I guessed it." Wang Mang said indifferently, "What are you doing here?"

"Did Zhou Yan and Zhou Feng die at your hands?" Zhou Li said, "Don't try to lie to me. I have investigated and the place where they last appeared was the Qin Palace. It is impossible for you not to know about it."

Feelings, this one doesn't know that he killed Zhou Feng and Zhou Yan?

Wang Mang was taken aback, and couldn't help laughing: "Just because they have appeared in the Qin Palace, I want to know about them."

"Shouldn't you know?" Zhou Li said, "If you make it clear, I can give you a happy death."

"A happy death?" Wang Mang looked at Zhou Li with a sneer and said, "Do you know who I am?"

"Emperor Qin, a well-known trash." Zhou Li said disdainfully, "If it weren't for your bounty, I wouldn't be bothered to take it."

"Then do you know that if you kill an emperor of various countries on the mainland, you will be hunted down by all countries." Wang Mang said.

"Sure enough, he is a waste emperor, what an idiot." Zhou Li said: "You also ask about the name of my Tiandao Zhou family, let alone a waste emperor of a small border country like you, even an emperor as powerful as Han Zhaowei, Tiandao Zhou Everyone was killed."

"Well, it's amazing!" Wang Mang looked at Zhou Li with a flat face and said, "The Tiandao Zhou family is well-deserved, but before you came, did you ever think about knowing yourself and your enemy? It is said that killers hide in the dark and then send out deadly blows." hit."

Zhou Li suddenly felt that something was wrong. The prey in front of him was too calm. It didn’t look like he was encountering a killer. Could it be that there was an ambush here? But he had seen it nearby before, and there was no threat to him at all. people.

"Bluuf!" Zhou Li sneered, raised his hand and grabbed Wang Mang, coldly said: "Catch and break your legs first to see if you dare to play tricks...ah!"

With a scream, before Zhou Li's hand reached Wang Mang, his legs were cut into two by an invisible sword energy. Zhou Li opened his eyes wide and pointed at Wang Mang, saying, "This is impossible!"
