Established a millennium family since King Wu defeated Zhou

Chapter 549
A folded corridor is spread in the courtyard, meandering towards the depths of the courtyard. As the corridor goes inward, there are more and more vines on it, intertwined, green and green branches and leaves, stripes The rhizomes with clear paths have the meaning of winding paths leading to secluded places.

At the end of the promenade is a pool of water, on which is a pavilion in the center of the lake. The promenade crosses the lake and connects to the pavilion. There is a layer of mats on the ground in the pavilion, and there is a small table with a jug of cold wine on the table. A pot of herbal tea, four people sitting around the table, if they are in the rich and powerful circles, they must know each other.

Facing the south is Guangluxun Wang Mangwang Jujun, and the person opposite him is Sanhe Colonel Wang Cheng, who is his younger brother, and the middle-aged man on the left is Da Siong Liu Qin, his greatest politician. His ally, the scholar on the right in Confucian uniform is his friend, the famous Confucian, Meng Lin.

Liu Qin said in a deep voice: "Ju Jungong, your return this time is the general trend.

But there are always some cunning villains in this world, they are waiting in the dark to harm you, what should we do? "

Wang Cheng was a little annoyed when he heard the words: "Those insects are really a scourge to the country. If it wasn't for my elder brother who said to convince people with virtue, I would definitely make them look good."

Wang Mang didn't answer directly, but turned his eyes to the lake, where there were beautiful lotus flowers blooming on the lake, and he said lightly, "What characteristics do you think the lotus has?"

The three looked at each other, not knowing what Wang Mang wanted to say, Wang Mang paused, and then said: "The roots of the lotus are rooted in the mud.

Isn't silt the dirtiest and filthiest of things?
But the flowers that grew were so beautiful that they surpassed countless others.

How similar is this to our current situation, stepping on the darkness under our feet, but looking up to the light.

I have some personal thoughts.

Don't expose this pool of mud to the world, just release the beautiful lotus flowers.

Because we are trapped in the mud, and the land of the world and the common people are the most beautiful flowers that grow. "

Wang Mang's voice was faint, and his eyes seemed to be cruising on the bodies of several people, with infinite darkness in his eyes.

These people are all smart people, and they suddenly heard the meaning behind Wang Mang's words. Wang Cheng was a little impatient, and asked pleasantly, "Brother, what do you mean?"

Meng Lin looked at Wang Mang in amazement, feeling that he didn't even recognize the person in front of him, "Jujun, what do you mean? You were not like this before!"

There were two smiles on the corners of Wang Mang's mouth, and then he seemed to feel that he didn't laugh, Wang Mang returned to the expressionless state, and said in a low voice: "Yes, that's why I failed.

The heart is bright, so why care about the means?
A few years ago, I went to Zhaocheng, learned some things, and read some books written by King Luo Wen, and understood some truths.

I will not change my attitude of being righteous, because I always believe that only by setting an example can we win the respect of the world.

But in the face of those who are unwilling to stand upright, if I want to kill people morally, what can they say? "

Wang Mang learned a lot from the Luo family, especially the method of judging people from the highest point of morality, which is really cool to use.

The only difficulty is that it is too difficult to stand on the highest point of morality, but Wang Mang happens to be able to do it.

Wang Mang decided to give courtesy first and then soldiers.

"People in the world care about words, what is the difference between repeated defeats and repeated defeats?

The difference lies in the language.

What is the difference between being unkind and being selfless?

It lies in what people in the world think, and this kind of thinking was spread by the person who told him for the first time.

We have the vast majority of scholars in the world, so public opinion is in our hands, and we can spread our ideas and let everyone in the world know.

Those who stand in our way, let them be removed.

Are there any clean ones among them?

I'm afraid each of them is carrying countless crimes enough to kill them. "

If his enemies are willing to be decent, then be decent, step down by themselves, give up power, and live for a while longer.

If you don't want to be decent, then help him to be decent. Wang Mang must get rid of all those who are in his eyes. He wants to turn the court into his own.

The reason why Wang Mang summoned all three of them today was to show his attitude, and all the previous rules disappeared.

All he wants now is results.

As long as he can ascend to the highest throne of power, he can give up everything except his ideals. As he said, even if he is in darkness, as long as his heart is still bright, that is enough.

Besides, he will put on the most beautiful clothes, and the sparkling water will cover up the filth below, and cover up all the evils that will be done in the future.

Meng Lin was a little shocked by Wang Mang's thoughts. He never expected that Wang Mang had undergone such a big change in such a short period of time. The upright gentleman back then had turned into a man who could play tricks and schemes.

But he wasn't dissatisfied in the slightest, on the contrary he was somewhat pleased with Wang Mang's change.

Because this kind of Wang Mang gives people a more reliable feeling. After all, he is the leader of a power, not just a doctor in the Imperial Academy.

Meng Lin wanted to know how far Wang Mang had changed, so he asked, "Your Majesty, some great Confucian scholars opposed you, but those people did not commit any crimes, what should these people do?
There are also some officials who simply opposed you and did not make any mistakes. How should we deal with these people? "

Hearing this, Wang Mang gave Meng Lin a deep look, Meng Lin and him looked at each other, Wang Mang was silent, Wang Cheng and Liu Qin also looked at Wang Mang, waiting for him to speak.

After a long time, Wang Mang's voice sounded leisurely, "Aren't I a sage who saves the world?

Am I not the one called by all the people in the world to save the dying world?

Am I not the one chosen by God?
So why are you against me?

Aren't those who oppose me treacherous?

Isn't it against the people of the world?

Isn't it against the will of God?

I don't know what is right or wrong, I just respectfully carry out the will of God.

All the obstacles in front of him, under the will of the heavens, will probably be flattened directly.

This is what I want to say. "

"color!"

Wang Cheng immediately clapped his hands and laughed. He liked what he said, and he wanted to do it without delay.

Meng Lin is a great Confucian, but he smiled at the corner of his mouth, just wanting to be so clean and neat, how can there be anything perfect in this world?

Looking forward and looking backward, scruples about those small virtues, but forgets the big ones, that's what rotten Confucians do.
