It turned out that this masked hero was Wei Shang. Combining what the captain who was chasing before said, Zhang He could easily guess the identity of the man in front of him.

In the list of heroes who returned home in the fourth year of Yuankang Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty, the only special hero who was not a founding hero was Changping Marquis Weiqing, who gave his grandson, Wei Deng's son, 50 yuan to restore his family. Home.

No wonder Wei Shang looks somewhat similar to Wei Qing, it turns out that he is Wei Qing's descendant.

Zhang He felt cordial, and he relaxed a lot when talking to Wei Qing: "It turns out that he is a descendant of Marquis Changping, thank you for helping me."

"It's just a little effort, I'm sorry I can't rescue Wu Zhang." Facing the young man in front of him who has remained calm despite the misfortune, Wei Qing has a bit of admiration in his eyes, "You rest at my house tonight, and I will find a way tomorrow Send you out of the city to meet Wu Han."

"I don't want to go out of the city." Zhang He said, "Can I ask my brother to send a letter to my father on my behalf, saying that I still have things to deal with and must stay in Chang'an, let him take his family to a safe place as soon as possible."

"What do you have to deal with?" Wei Qing heard curiously, "Now Wang Mang is arresting you everywhere, Chang'an City is extremely dangerous to you, what else can hold you back?"

Facing the face that was quite similar to Wei Qing, Zhang He didn't want to lie, he just replied: "I want to find someone who is very important to me, I don't know where he is, so I can only find him in Chang'an City first." gone."

"What a coincidence." Wei Qing smiled, "I also want to find someone, maybe we can help each other."

On the side of Weiyang Palace, Liu Che has also made some progress.He had a talk with Grand Tutor Kong Guang yesterday. How could this old minister be Liu Che's opponent? After he understood him with reason and moved him with emotion, Kong Guang cried bitterly, feeling ashamed for his passive avoidance of disaster, and vowed to help him in the future. The young emperor.

No, when he came to lecture Liu Che early this morning, Kong Guang secretly brought news from outside.

Speaking of it, Liu Chen was really unlucky. Under Wang Mang's intentional watch, it was difficult for outside news to reach the palace. Therefore, if Kong Guang hadn't told him in private, Liu Che really didn't know that such ups and downs had happened outside. .

It is ironic that Wu Zhang, Lu Kuan, Wang Yu and others were all punished for the felony of treason, but what they did was to plan to pour a bucket of dog blood on Wang Mang's gate, and to force Wang Mang to It's just a matter of ceding power to Liu Jin's mother's family.

In the final analysis, Gouxuemen is not shaking the Liu family's country at all, but wants to shake Wang Mang's power.

As the little emperor who stayed in the deep palace, Liu Jin did not get the news until all these people were killed.

Kong Guang is the fourteenth grandson of Confucius. As a master of Confucian classics at that time, he also had friendship with such a great Confucian as Wu Zhang. Now seeing Wu Zhang kill himself and become a benevolent, he always feels a bit sad.

Therefore, he left Wu Zhang's messy body at the intersection of Dongshi in grief and indignation. Fearing that he would be liquidated by Wang Mang, his thousands of students all drew a line and declared that they had switched to others as teachers and were no longer Wu Zhang's. disciple.

No one dared to collect the body of the great Confucianist who was so famous in the past after his tragic death.

Hearing this, Liu Che couldn't help thinking of Zhao Wan and Wang Zang who committed suicide in prison after being suppressed by the Empress Dowager when he first became emperor.

So he said to Kong Guang: "For a benevolent person like Wu Zhang, you should find a way to bury his body. If Wang Mang asks, he will say it is my intention... If someone comes forward, then keep this person safe. "

Kong Guang returned after leaving for half a day. It turned out that one of Wu Zhang's disciples was named Yun Qing, who was not afraid of Wang Mang's power, and went directly to Dongshi to cry and bury the teacher's body.

But Kong Guang also brought back a piece of bad news: "Wang Mang is going to order the death of His Majesty's mother's family and Wei family, and the edict has already left the capital."

"What? Execute the Wei family?" Liu Che became a little nervous when he heard these two words. He never wanted to see those related to the surname Wei being wiped out in front of him. Besides, Wei Qing hadn't found it yet. What if he crosses over to this Wei family?

Thinking of this, Liu Che slapped his head angrily: "Is this Wang Mang impatient? He actually slaughtered the emperor's son and mother clan so blatantly?"

"Your Majesty, don't be impulsive." Seeing Liu Che's angry expression, Kong Guang feared that he would face Wang Mang directly, "We can't confront Wang Mang at this time."

Liu Che calmed down. He naturally knew that his current power was limited. He said to Kong Guang, "You can send a letter to the Wei family for me. Be sure to hurry up before the envoy who announces the decree arrives."

Kong Guang retreated in a hurry. It was not an easy task to send the emperor's letter out of Chang'an City under Wang Mang's nose. Fortunately, as a veteran of several dynasties, he still had some contacts in the court and the market, so he was doing his best at this time. Things have to be perfect.

Because once the news leaks out, even the young emperor in Weiyang Palace will suffer.Kong Guang is old enough to live, he doesn't want to see another tragedy happen.

Sending Kong Guang away here, Liu Che said quite calmly, "Put the wine in Qingliang Hall, I want to entertain Duke An Han."

Wang Mang has been busy using the Gouxuemen incident to deal with political opponents these days, and he has already sat down with an unknown number of people. He was a little confused when he suddenly received a summons from Weiyang Palace.

The little emperor was usually afraid of seeing him, but now he took the initiative to host a banquet and invited him, and he didn't know which song to sing.Maybe the matter of dealing with the Wei family has spread to the palace?

Wang Mang was going to see what happened.

At night, there was a cool breeze blowing by the Cang Pond, and the brightly lit Qingliang Hall was still as splendid and prosperous as before, but the people who came and went inside were not known to Liu Che anymore.

He drank the remaining wine in the cup, feeling a little lost.

"Duke An Han is here." Someone summoned from outside the hall.

Liu Che, who was just sitting slumped casually, quickly put on a posture of sitting upright.

"Why is Your Majesty inviting ministers to the banquet?" Wang Mang asked bluntly after entering the palace to salute.Of course he wasn't afraid that Liu Jin would have the guts to hold a Hongmen banquet, but he was still a bit displeased with the little emperor adding to the chaos in his busy schedule.

In the past, when he asked with such a straight face, Liu Jin would always feel scared and tell Wang Mang the answer he wanted to know, but Liu Che was not afraid of him, and raised his glass with a smile: "I heard that Mr. An Han has worked hard for my great Han society recently. A banquet is specially set up to express condolences."

After finishing speaking, he didn't say why he invited Wang Mang, but just let the song and dance performance that had been arranged come in.When the wine was half full, Liu Che raised his glass and said, "Mr. An Han, I have something to ask for. I wonder if I can get it?"

"Your Majesty may speak directly if you have something to do, but whatever I can do, I will definitely relieve His Majesty's worries." Wang Mang did not answer directly, worried that the other party would set a trap for him.

Liu Che expected that he would say that, so he didn't care, just chuckled: "I have dreamed that my mother was crying and missing her in the fief these days, and I miss her very much. Come meet me?"

As early as the first year of the Yuan Dynasty, when Liu Jin ascended the throne, Wang Mang, in order to monopolize the power, was no longer squeezed out by the relatives of the Fu family and the Ding family as in the period of Emperor Ai. He was afraid that the Wei family would deprive him of power again, so he told the empress dowager to say: : "Emperor Ai was established before, and he betrayed kindness and righteousness. Since he was noble and his family, Ding and Fu, he messed up the country and endangered the society. Today, the emperor has returned to the Dazong as the emperor when he was young. It is appropriate to clarify the righteousness of unity, so as to prevent the past and become the law of future generations. "

Using this reason, Liu Jin's mother, Wei Ji, and her family were not allowed to enter Chang'an, and Liu Chengcheng, the son of the clan's Taoxiang Hou, succeeded as the king of Zhongshan. Empress Xiao of Zhongshan.

Wei Bao and Wei Xuan, brothers of Wei Ji, were enfeoffed as Marquis of Guannei, and three younger sisters of Liu Jin, Liu Yechen, were enfeoffed as Lord Xiuyi, Liu Zaipi, Lord Chengli, and Liu Gezi, Lord Zunde, with two thousand households each in Shiyi. Of course, behind this gift is that they are all required to stay in Zhongshan Kingdom, and they are not allowed to leave the country for half a step.

Wang Yu had previously exchanged letters with Wei Ji's younger brother Wei Bao. On Wang Yu's suggestion, Wei Ji wrote a letter to thank her, stating the past crimes of Ding and Fu to express her attitude, hoping to enter Chang'an.

But Wang Mang was very suspicious and didn't believe Wei Ji's letter of guarantee at all. In his opinion, once Wei Ji and her family entered Chang'an, the situation would naturally become unfavorable to him.Therefore, he issued an edict in the name of the Empress Dowager, commending Queen Zhongshan Xiao for her understanding of righteousness, enfeoffing seven thousand households, and granting the queen and the king of Zhongshan [-] catties of gold each.

Wei Ji missed her son, cried day and night, and repeatedly begged to go to Beijing to meet the emperor according to Wang Yu's proposal, but she was not allowed.It just so happened that Wang Yu and his teacher planned Gouxuemen and several letters between Wang Yu and Wei Bao and Wei Ji were also found out.

Wang Mang knew that his own son had come to deal with his own father for the sake of the Wei family. He was very furious, and felt that the failure of the Wei family would always be a serious problem, so he simply stopped doing it, implicated the Wei family and the Gouxuemen incident, and ordered that Wei Shi killed them all.

At this time, the little emperor suddenly asked to see Wei Ji, fearing that he had heard some rumors.With a hypocritical smile on Wang Mang's face, he got up from his seat and knelt down to plead guilty: "I hope Your Majesty will forgive me, I have recently investigated the case of Nizi Wang Yu, and found that Wei's family also had many letters with Nizi. In the reality of conspiracy and harm to the country, His Majesty is the Majesty of the people of the world after all, and he must understand the righteousness, just like the ministers, and kill relatives with the same righteousness, so that he can set an example for everyone."

Liu Che sneered, he had already heard that Wang Mang had packaged his murder of his son in a high-sounding way, spreading public opinion outside and everyone praised him, but he didn't expect him to be so shameless that he said it in front of his face.

Doesn't the meaning of these words mean "I have already killed my own son, if your Majesty is sensible, let me kill all your mother clan."

If the soul staying in Liu Jin's body at this time is not Liu Che but himself, the young emperor is afraid that he will not dare to contradict him because of the hatred in his heart.This Wang Mang is really too arrogant, telling the emperor that he wants to kill his mother's family, isn't it also threatening to kill the emperor himself?

Liu Che couldn't help grinding his teeth, and smiled innocently at Wang Mang: "Mr. An Han is right, my mother's family is involved in it, and the crime is serious, and I am ashamed of it, but as far as I know, this incident Aren't the masterminds of the incident precisely Wu Zhang and Wang Yu?"

Isn't it just shameless and unreasonable?Who is afraid of whom... Liu Che thought disdainfully in his heart.
