Rebirth of the best emperor

Chapter 778 Do You Believe?

Shangyuan Palace.

Wang Mang and Shangguan Wan'er sat down respectively, Shangguan Wan'er looked Wang Mang up and down, and said after a long time, "I never expected that His Majesty's strength will improve again after a few days."

"The strength of the Queen Mother is not the same." Wang Mang said indifferently: "I have seen many people, but I have never seen someone like the Queen Mother. There are almost no monks in the world who can keep up with me in terms of strength. Say yes, only the Queen Mother, I am very interested in the Queen Mother's secrets."

"It's a pity that you can't learn my secret." Shangguan Wan'er shook her head and said, "Aren't you going to show up in Chang'an now?"

"There is nothing to show up. Zhang Jian has already been killed, Zhuge Yu, Wang Qinian and others have also been executed. Although there are some minor turmoil in the city, there is no need for me to do anything. After all, sitting in my position, it is impossible to do anything. I did it myself." Wang Mang said.

Shangguan Wan'er nodded and said, "What is Your Majesty going to do next?"

"I don't want to keep the Yiqu country, and I will soon raise troops to destroy the Yiqu country. Yiqu's domestic horses have always been the birthplace of our Daqin cavalry horses. After taking Yiqu country, our Daqin's national strength will be further improved. "Wang Mang said: "I heard that the queen mother still has some arrangements in Yiqu country. I don't know if the queen mother has anything to explain?"

"There is nothing to explain. This Yiqu country and our Great Qin have been allied for many years and are brothers to each other. Now that they have turned against each other, your Majesty will be destroyed if he wants to. However, how will His Majesty Zhao's side plan to guard against it? Shangguan Wan'er said: "Unlike South Korea, Zhao Guo has the support of Jixia Academy behind it."

Wang Mang already knew that Jixia Academy supported Zhao State, and it was impossible to fully support Qin State. If Qin State had been walking with Jixia Academy, it would end up like South Korea in the end, becoming Jixia Academy Once Qin State is too poor to provide resources, Jixia Academy will kick Qin State away without hesitation. The so-called protection is only temporary. This is why Wang Mang finally decided to cooperate with Jixia The reason why the academy parted ways.

Seeing Shangguan Wan'er mentioning Jixia Academy at this moment, Wang Mang said: "Before the destruction of Han, I might not have had any scruples about Jixia Academy, but after the destruction of Han, I have no scruples about Jixia Academy at all. "

"Is it Tianmomen?" Shangguan Wan'er thought of Tianmomen directly, and said: "Your Majesty, although Tianmomen is the head of the nine branches of Demonmen, it cannot represent Demonmen. Powers such as Baidi City will not pay attention to him. What's more important is that the major forces within the Demon Sect have disliked each other for many years, and it is difficult to gather a force, not to mention that the Demon Sect is beaten by everyone on the mainland for no reason. The overall power is far inferior to the righteous forces, Your Majesty Have you ever thought that if Your Majesty cooperates with the Demon Sect wholeheartedly, the final result may be that Qin will fight against the forces of other countries with the power of one country?"

"Queen, does Qin have any friends now?" Wang Mang looked at Shangguan Wan'er and shook his head, and said, "I and the queen are very clear that Qin has no friends on the mainland, not even Yiqu, Qin's long-time ally. Now they are going to betray Qin State and join Zhao State. Xu State, Guo State, Yelang State, Bashu State and even South Korea. The country is treated as an imaginary enemy, and it can be said that Qin and the Momen are in the same situation, everyone is shouting and beating, and they just hold together as friends."

Shangguan Wan'er didn't expect this, she looked at Wang Mang and said with satisfaction: "Your Majesty has considered it properly and grown up!"

Looking at Shangguan Wan'er's youthful appearance, Wang Mang was speechless and could not say anything. After all, in terms of identity, Shangguan Wan'er was an elder, but it sounded really weird.

Shangguan Wan'er looked at Wang Mang's shriveled look, and thought it was very funny, she couldn't help laughing, Shangguan Wan'er smiled all over the city, and the whole Shangyuan Palace seemed to be full of vitality in Shangguan Wan'er's smile.

Wang Mang was stunned for a while, until he saw Shangguan Wan'er's face turned cold, and then said hastily: "Queen Mother, I will leave Beijing soon, and the capital will be handed over to the Queen Mother."

"There is one thing I need to discuss with you." Shangguan Wan'er said.

"What's the matter?" Wang Mang said.

"Your marriage." Shangguan Wan'er said directly without waiting for Wang Mang to refuse, "The Ai family already knows about the relationship between you and Lihua, the saint of the Heavenly Demon Sect."

"The queen mother has objections to the status I gave Yin Lihua as a noble concubine? In terms of status, Yin Lihua can also be worthy of the status of a noble concubine." Wang Mang said.

"It's not that Yin Lihua's identity amulet is not in line with the status of a noble concubine, but how can you have a noble concubine if your majesty doesn't even have a queen?" How about bringing up the matter behind the seal?"

"Queen Mother, with my current status, it is not easy to find someone who is qualified to be a concubine. Where can I find someone who is qualified to be my queen?" Wang Mang said.

"The Ai family has already found one for you, regardless of status, status, beauty or appearance, she is the top choice, enough to be my Great Qin Empress." Shangguan Wan'er said: "Your Majesty, you must know that now as my Great Qin is getting stronger and stronger, There are many things that must be put on the agenda, such as the Queen's position and His Majesty's heirs must be brought up, if they cannot be brought up, people's hearts will be unstable, Your Majesty, please think about it carefully."

"Queen Mother, what if I'm not interested?" Wang Mang said.

"This matter is not up to you. It is said that the matter of the harem can be decided by the Ai family. But the Ai family knows that His Majesty is not an ordinary person. The Ai family thinks it is better for the Majesty to decide for himself. But if the Majesty just avoids it, then the Ai family has no choice but to forcibly decide." " Shangguan Wan'er's complexion gradually turned cold, and finally said: "After your Majesty returns from Yiqu Country, this matter must be settled."

Seeing Shangguan Wan'er's tough attitude, Wang Mang's complexion also turned cold. After Wang Mang left Chang'an, Shangguan Wan'er's words sounded in Wang Mang's mind from time to time. It seems that this woman insisted on marrying him a few wives to continue the blood of the Daqin royal family. .

Seeing Wang Mang's solemn expression, Bai Qi said, "If Your Majesty is worried about the Queen Mother, I will return to Chang'an now to kill the Queen Mother."

Hearing Bai Qi's rebellious remarks, Wang Mang couldn't help turning his face to look at Bai Qi in shock, it was really too scary for Bai Qi to kill someone as soon as he opened his mouth, and said: "The Queen Mother's strength is unfathomable, do you have confidence?"

"Yes." Bai Qi said: "The Empress Dowager is powerful, I am not as good as him, but when it comes to the means of killing, the Empress Dowager is not as good as me."

When Bai Qi said this, Wang Mang understood. It meant that although Shangguan Wan'er had great strength, she had no actual combat experience. In a real fight, the outcome was unknown.

It's just that Bai Qi didn't know that what Wang Mang was worried about was never that the queen mother would block him, but more about the unknown of Shangguan Wan'er's actions. After dealing with Shangguan Wan'er for so long, Wang Mang never knew about Shangguan Wan'er The origin and identity of this mysterious queen mother has influenced the Qin State for many years, but no one in the civil and military dynasties of the Qin State knew the origin of the queen mother, even Zhang Jian, the veteran of the three dynasties, who was deeply rooted in the Great Qin Dynasty, did not know, otherwise Zhang Jian would not have touched it. Before the details of the Shangyuan Palace in the Qing Dynasty were revealed, they rashly launched an attack on the Shangyuan Palace.

Seeing that Wang Mang didn't speak, Bai Qi said again: "I have never killed anyone who has killed anyone. No one will know that I did it."

Wang Mang shook his head and said: "Forget it, Shangguan Wan'er is unfathomable, do you really think that the strength of Shangguan Wan'er you saw today is her real strength?"

"I think the fight seems real." Bai Qi said, "If it's fake, it's too similar."

"Shangguan Wan'er is not to be underestimated!" Wang Mang said.

"Your Majesty, where are we going now?" Seeing what Wang Mang said, Bai Qi knew that Wang Mang had no intention of killing Shangguan Wan'er. There was something in between, but as a courtier, Bai Qi knew what to say and what not to say, so he changed the topic.

"Let's go to Xudi. Yelang still owes me a million knights. They only gave me 20 last time. Now that there are not many after a war, I have to ask when they will pay the remaining knights." .” Wang Mang said.

Bai Qi remained silent. Last time he took away 20 Yelang knights from Xudi, now there are less than [-] left, and most of them died in the battle of Hancheng. If it weren't for these Yelang knights, Bai Qi would not be able to Undefeated in all directions in South Korea, and it is impossible for Qin to defeat South Korea so easily. It can be said that it really helped a lot, but with such a high casualty ratio, if you ask Yelang for troops now, will Yelang give it to you? ?

In the night, Wang Mang took Bai Qi all the way to Xudi, while Shangguan Wan'er in the Shangyuan Palace changed into simple clothes and went to the small courtyard of Wuming, Wuming was still meditating under the big tree, facing Shangguan Wan'er Shangguan Wan'er also knew Wuming's temper, she simply reported what happened today to Wuming, and finally said: "It seems that Your Majesty has no intention of getting married, what should we do about this matter?"

"Sometimes there must be something in your life, and there is no time in your life. Don't force it." Wuming opened his eyes, and endless sword lights were flowing in his eyes. The composed universe is vast and boundless.

Shangguan Wan'er said: "If you say that, I have nothing to say. Anyway, I have already done what I should do. How much has your cultivation recovered?"

"Most of it has recovered." Wuming said.

"It seems that His Majesty's conquest of the South and the North has indeed helped you a lot." Shangguan Wan'er said: "It's just that you should be very clear. With the strong rise of Your Majesty, especially this time taking South Korea, we will definitely help you a lot." It is no longer possible for the Qin State to keep a low profile, and it will definitely be brought into the eyes of those people again, and you will soon be noticed by them, you must hurry up and restore your cultivation."

"It's useless for me alone." Wuming sighed, and said, "No matter how strong I am, I'm still only one person. There are some in the great holy gates who are not weaker than me, so old and immortal. Even if there are ten of them, I will definitely not be their opponent."

"But Qin's strength, His Majesty's strength has improved too fast." Shangguan Wan'er said: "Do you think it's time to use those people?"

"It's not yet time." Wuming said: "Those people are the foundation of our country, Qin. With them, Qin will be there. If they are gone, Qin will naturally disappear. Your Majesty has done a good job, I believe He can handle everything."

"I want to seek a marriage for him." Shangguan Wan'er said suddenly.

"Ask for marriage?" Wuming's expression changed, and he said, "What kind of marriage do you ask for?"

"I heard that the one in the Hundred Thousand Mountains has a daughter who is about the same age as Your Majesty, if His Majesty can make her a queen, he will be able to get the support of the one in the One Hundred Thousand Mountains." Shangguan Wan'er said: "What do you think? "

Wuming was silent, he knew very well what Shangguan Waner said meant, and he knew that it was difficult to get that person's attention with Qin's current strength, he was not optimistic about this marriage, but Wuming raised his eyes and looked at Shangguan Waner, Suddenly said: "In whose name are you planning to obtain this marriage?"

"Naturally in the name of Emperor Qin." Shangguan Wan'er said: "But you also know that I can't do this alone, I need your help, without your help, I can't get into the depths of the Hundred Thousand Mountains."

"Understood." Wuming closed his eyes silently, and said, "Call me when you leave."

Xu land.

Wang Mang and Bai Qi drove all night, all the way to Xudi, Yue Jiji felt Wang Mang's arrival and went directly to the foot of the mountain to welcome Wang Mang into the mountain.

"I don't know what the high priest is here for?" Yue Priest said straight to the point: "It is said that the high priest should be in Hancheng to accept the worship of all people at this time."

Although they have already arrived in the main world, people in the Yelang world are still accustomed to calling Wang Mang the high priest. To a certain extent, Wang Mang's status as the high priest is their leader.

Wang Mang didn't care about the name of Moon Sacrifice, but pointed to Bai Qi and said, "The last batch of 20 Yelang knights you gave Bai Qi is very useful, and Bai Qi wants to take another batch of knights from here."

Priest Yue already knew Wang Mang's intentions and knew that he couldn't stop him, but he still snorted coldly and said, "Did the high priest never regard us as his subjects?"

Wang Mang knew that Moon Sacrifice would cause trouble, so he pretended to be confused and said, "I don't know what Moon Sacrifice means?"

"The Battle of Hancheng is known all over the world. The 20 Yelang knights that Bai Qi took away from me were powerful in all directions in Korea, but most of them were killed in the death battle of Hancheng. Cunyi, dare to be the high priest, as the supreme leader of my Yelang people, wouldn't the high priest feel sad when so many people died in battle?" Yue Priest said coldly.

"My heart hurts." Wang Mang sighed, Moon Sacrifice went straight, and he couldn't pretend to be confused, so he said, "But when I was in the world of Yelang, I promised to give the people of Yelang a place to live and work in peace. It’s just a place where the people of Yelang live temporarily. In order to let the people of Yelang live a better life, I have also tried my best. Qin’s land is barren and it is not a place to live in peace. After thinking about it, I found it for the people of Yelang in South Korea. I found a place, so I launched the war to destroy Korea, and now that the place has been found, I will wait for Yue Jiji to organize your people to move there."

Moon Priest looked deeply at Wang Mang, and said, "Does the High Priest believe what the High Priest said?"

Wang Mang fell silent for a moment.
