When Wu Lun walked into the palace where Wang Mang lived, he saw the old man sitting on a mat dozing off, his head drooping, and his breathing gently brushed his white beard. This slight action made people not think that he was dead, and there were piles of articles criticizing Mangchao under the name of "The New Year".

Zhu Di, the assistant minister who was ordered here, reported: "Your Majesty, when Wang Weng first saw these articles, he was furious and kneaded them into a ball and threw them away, but later he picked them up, sometimes scolding the candidate for being poor in writing and talking nonsense, sometimes silent, and for a while, he was inappropriate..."

Wu Lun nodded, signaling his followers to be quiet, and asked Zhu brother to retreat. He sat opposite Wang Mang. Today is the summer solstice, and the weather is quite hot and there are large clouds of dark clouds gathered in the sky. Chang'an has been drought for many days, so people are looking forward to the arrival of this long-lost rain.

It was not until a muffled thunder sounded in the sky that Wang Mang woke up. When he opened his eyes, he saw the Fifth Rein sitting opposite him. He was shocked. He tidied up his beard and saw the paper that was blown by the wind. The atmosphere was a little awkward.

"It's okay, these are just copies."

Wu Lun smiled and said, "Wen Wang, how have you read about Zhu Sheng's articles these days?"

Wang Mang was imprisoned here, and his daughter Wang Yan had only been here once. When he was bored, these articles were the only way for him to understand the situation outside, but he couldn't help but look at it, and he was so angry that he couldn't sleep all night.

The students who took the civil servant exam were not old, mostly white, and were not deeply moved by how to be an official and govern the people. They criticized the new dynasty from their own standpoint, explained the sufferings and chaos that had been suffered in those years, or criticized them from the perspective of a scholar.

So when faced with the inquiry from the fifth reunion, Wang Mang looked sneered: "What do you understand for a group of Huangkouzi?"

But even Wang Mang had to admit that individual articles may be biased and coordinated them is a collection of essays accusing the evil politics of the New Dynasty. From currency to five equalizations and six equalizations, and even Wang Mang expanded and declared war on the outside, instigated the flooding of the Yellow River and failed to govern, and the use of inhuman government and military affairs in court and military affairs were basically summarized by scholars. Some even pointed to equalizations and abolition of slavery.

"I like this one the most."

The fifth reunion said: "It directly points to retro, and believes that Wang Weng must search for examples in everything from classics. He followed the map and applied the so-called three generations of name system to this world, and finally made the national policy suspended and unrealistic."

Wang Mang remained silent. When he became an emperor, he would never listen to this. But today he had experienced ups and downs and walked through the people again. He knew that what he said in the text was correct and agreed in his heart, but he refused to accept it verbally and did not want the fifth relationship to be as he wished.

Unexpectedly, the fifth reunion said: "These articles have explained everything they can think of, but they only see the appearance, not the root, but no one can see through the most important reason, or in other words, no one dares to explain it."

"That is, Wang Weng replaced the Han Dynasty, and the agency was not clean enough!"

Wang Mang was stunned, but listened to the fifth ethics: "From the Tang, Yu, Xia, Shang, Zhou, Qin and Han Dynasties, except for the special purpose of unifying the world by Qin, there are only two types of dynasties."

"One is the so-called abdication, which only existed in Yao, Shun and Yu. After that, there were some attempts by the princes, but they all ended in vain. Only Wang Weng did it and even succeeded by luck."

"The second is the revolution, which began with Shang Tang and Tang Wu Revolution, violently overthrowing the previous dynasty."

Wang Mang was already attracted by what the fifth reunite said, which was an angle that no one mentioned: "Wang Weng followed the ancients and replaced the Han family with abdication, but the trouble was that while accepting the throne and destiny of the previous dynasty, he also inherited the past officials, courts, army, and the world's ills."

The fifth relationship counted with him one by one: "The land merger, and there is no need to say about the transactions of slaves. As a result, fewer and fewer households were registered, and the taxes and rents were lower and lower. The court lacked wealth, but it was used to being extravagant and extravagant, so there was no money and food to maintain the river embankment, which led to the destruction of the world becoming increasingly corrupt. After Wang Weng came to power, his first thing was to make money, but he took a wrong path, making the finance even more corrupt."

"Red-off officials are also a big problem. Over the past two hundred years of the Han Dynasty, hundreds of marquises were left behind, and more and more officials in the court and the country were becoming more and more. According to Song Hong, the Shaofu, since the Han Xuan, the people's taxes were collected, and they received more than 400 million yuan a year, and half of the salary of officials was used. However, by the time of Emperor Ping of Han, the population in the world increased greatly, but the taxes were collected but not increased, because the population was controlled by the powerful, and the official salary was almost surpassed the taxes. The new department reduced the salary of officials, and even did not pay for several years, which originated from this."

"At the end of the Han Dynasty, the soldiers were already rotten. During the reign of Emperor Cheng of Han, there were only 180 iron officials in Yingchuan who were able to seize weapons from the arsenal and kill officials. After nine counties, the government army could not control it. The court was frightened and borrowed local powerful soldiers to calm down. In the new dynasty, although the generals and soldiers were changed, the soldiers were not replaced, and the empty wages in the army were still deteriorated. How could the Huns not defeat them?"

"In short, the relationship between the government and the local government is intricate, and the national government is difficult to implement and easy to issue is all things that change the name of counties and counties, etc., and do not harm the interests of the powerful. In the end, the reform becomes more and more chaotic."

Wu Lun spread his hands and said, "This world is like a rotten tall building. Wang Weng inherits it completely. Even if he puts new paint on it, it is still an old country in essence and cannot be overturned. He is also like a terminally ill person, and his body is full of serious illness. Even a famous doctor will be difficult to cure him, let alone..."

The following words are not good, and the fifth reunion smiled and said, "Wang Weng was a quack doctor with a high eye and low attitude. He had no ability and only had a 'good intention'. You can see where the disease is, but most of the medicines prescribed were wrong."

"Even if there are occasional prescriptions that taste the taste, the medicinal materials on it are hard to find in the world. Even the officials below replaced Astragalus with Polygonum multiflorum and forced them to feed them to the people of the prefectures and counties. This is not only useless, but also highly toxic! The torture of the world is naturally worsened and is not far from death."

The fifth relationship says: "Therefore, abdication to the old and staggering Han family is absolutely not advisable. Only by effectively practicing the Tang and Wu revolution! Only by pushing down the decaying towers and the world is rebuilt!"

"Since Wang Weng did not destroy the Han family."

"Then I can only come to the Innovation Room!"

When the fifth reunion talks about the pleasure, he doesn't care that Wang Mang's face is ashen, and he uses his palm as a knife to slash at the air.

"Using the excuse of the great Wei Dynasty, the officials of the previous dynasty killed and raided the houses, and those who were innocent but incompetent were also removed. Not to be hiding Wang Weng, nearly 10,000 officials of all sizes and small to receive salaries in Chang'an City during the new dynasty, but now I have been cut to only more than 10,000. If we still use Wuzhu coins, the salary expenditure will be reduced by more than 100,000!"

What does the new relationship and connections have to do with the Great Wei? Those who have been laid off should join the army and serve as the people. The fifth relationship uses labor instead of relief to restore Guanzhong water conservancy, and urgently needs labor.

"The same is true for soldiers. Although Zhu Tufeng was born in the new army, he was transformed by me. Although there are still remnants of all kinds of problems in the past, after all, after all, after all, after a few years of its establishment, generals and generals all started from the army. I dare not say that the world's strong army is strong, but it is enough to deal with the new army, the green forest and the red eyebrows."

The most important thing is land. The fifth reunion seeks various excuses, and takes advantage of the chaotic times of changing dynasties to confiscate a large number of powerful land and expand their wealth. When Wang Mang entered Chang'an west, he had already seen it on both sides of the Wei River.

After saying that, the fifth reunion sighed: "It's a pity that no one can write this way."

"Otherwise, even if all other exams have passed the blank paper, this article will be enough to be ranked first in the first place!"

But he looked at Wang Mang again: "Wen Wang, how is my answer sheet written in this article?"

Wang Mang subconsciously cursed: "Child Cao, crazy... crazy."

But I had to admit in my heart that the fifth reunion saw it clearly. I did not read him wrong, but I used him wrongly. The fifth reunion didn't even bother to abdicate, let alone save the nation.

Wang Mang also asked his own question: "Fifth Reunion, when did you develop the desire to imitate the Tang and Wu revolution?"

It was when he was ordered to enter the court and obtained the military power he had always dreamed of.

It was when he entered Wei County and became a magistrate.

Or when you join the army for the first time and go outside the border?

No, maybe earlier.

Wang Mang suddenly realized: "Is it possible that when Yang Ziyun passed away, you were already in a hatred? He decided to destroy the new room?"

Wu Lun looked at Wang Mang and shook his head: "No."

"I decided to overthrow the new room ten years ago. At that time, I refused to enroll in the Imperial Academy and made three refusals. In addition to using this to invite fame to support my honour, I can see that the new room is hopeless!"

"Ten years ago, the fourth year of Tianfeng?"

This means that from the beginning, the fifth reunion pretended to be in front of him, smiling and loyal, but in fact he had a long desire to overturn.

Another thunder sounded, and lightning reflected the shock on Wang Mang's face. He sighed and pointed at the person in front of him, not knowing whether he was praise or scolding: "The fifth uncle, you are really the master of the traitor."

The fifth reunification took this as a compliment: "When Wang Weng also realized the ills of abdication? This is why he later committed suicide by joining the Red Eyebrow. Sure enough, it is better to have the Tangwu Revolution. If everything is overturned and rebuilt, it will be more effective!"

While speaking, the heavy rain that had been accumulated outside for a long time finally fell, making the tiles slam.

Wu Lun stood up, stood at the entrance of the hall, opened his arms to embrace the storm outside, embracing the new situation he had earned with his blood and betrayal.

"Now, not only do the scholars have the same argument for the new era, but they all say that the new dynasty deserves to perish."

"Even the people of the world have all cast their way to the left, hoping that I will kill a man on behalf of the will of heaven and the hearts of the people!"

Wu Lun walked back from the corridor and called Zhu Di, asking him to show Wang Mang the result of the referendum: "The ancients said that everyone's hearts make the city, and everyone's mouths make the gold."

"It means that public opinion is strong, and even real gold can melt."

"What about it, Wang Weng?"

Wang Mang silently looked at the "Ten People's Books" representing the public opinion. Many names on it seemed that before he abdicated, 480,000 persuasions also appeared in the books. The people's hearts were indeed like sea water, tossing and turning.

If he had not had a conversation with the fifth reunion today, Wang Mang could still argue with a strong saying, "Three people become tigers."

But at this moment, Wang Mang just threw away the paper in his hand, closed his eyes and said:

"A person's life will not last more than seventy-three, and this year it is seventy-two, one year or less, what's the difference?"

But in the past, he wanted to "martyrdom", but now, it has become "to die to thank the world". Wang Mang admitted in his heart that he had too many mistakes. Regardless of his original intention, the result was chaos in the world, with millions of people dying and tens of millions of people at the cost of them.

"But some people don't want Wang Weng to die, so they persuade me for the exile of Shang Tang to Xia Jie."

When Wu Lun talked to Wang Mang about Zhang Zhan’s plea for him, Wang Mang only sighed that Zhang Zhan was indeed a good old man.

"I gave Zhang Zixiao a essay on "Zhongqi's Edict."

After hearing this, Wang Mang was stunned and immediately understood and sneered: "The fifth son, I have learned a good academic skills in recent years."

The edict of Zhong Wei was when Cheng Tang exiled Xia Jie. He felt ashamed of his ministers and was afraid of being honest with the future generations. So Zhong Wei said something. It was said that Cheng Tang's attack on Jie came from the rule of the Xia Yu system, from the destiny of heaven, and from the wishes of the people. It was reasonable. He solved the problem of legality of the career for Cheng Tang in one fell swoop, and also established a theory for the "Tangwu Revolution" model of changing dynasties: Follow the heavens and respond to people, and you can punish them!

Six hundred years later, King Wu of Zhou used this as a basis to overthrow the Shang Dynasty and chopped down Emperor Xin's head.

"But Zhang Zhan still doesn't understand." The fifth reun was quite disappointed with this Grand Master Zhang. As expected, it was okay to do big things. I'd better forget it.

"He thought that the reason why I was reluctant to kill Wang Weng was to think that I was as elegant and calm as Han Xin abdicated, and to be gentle, gentle, respectful and frugal."

"Zhang Zhan was wrong."

The fifth reunion looked at the rain on the railing: "In my opinion, Shang Tang and Xia were far inferior to Zhou Wu and Shang Movement. It was enough to follow the heavens and respond to the people. There was no need to treat guests to dinner, no need to do articles, no need to paint and embroidery."

“There is only one thing needed.”

Wu Lun watched the sudden rain hit the ground: "Violent! The overthrowed previous dynasty must be cut cleanly! Cut off some redundant officials and rotten trees so that you can light the road, start the stove again, and burn a new situation."

Especially when the Fifth Reunification decided to inherit Wang Weng's long-cherished wishes and pick them up again in matters such as equalizing the fields, abolition of slavery, coin control, and the official business of salt and iron mountains and seas.

You have to be more determined and cut, cleaner!

"It is indeed to make scholars and the people participate in it to show their compliance with the heavens, but at the same time, it is also to know public opinion and express determination."

"While the destruction of Jiuzhou has not been the only one who died, the world has concentrated the sufferings of these years on Wang Weng alone."

"This is natural. It is of course easier to remember a person than to analyze the reasons inside carefully."

"If Wang Weng can have a good end, the hatred of the world will be difficult to resolve, and even hate the house and the mist. I, who will keep Wang Weng's life, will also hate it."

"Only when Wang Weng dies, can everyone's anger be relieved, let the evil of the new house become the past, and let the world turn over."

"Gu Lun is here today for only one thing."

With his back to the pouring rain, the fifth reunion bowed to Wang Mang, and his tone seemed to be just asking him to visit a distance.

"Please go to death with Weng Wang!"
