Chapter 17 Mangzi’s tea art

 Speaking of the small shoes that Chun Yuchang gave Wang Mang to wear, Wang Mang felt disgusted and made a fool of himself!

You are already a high-ranking official in the imperial court, so why are you so small-minded?

He actually instigated others to speak ill of him to Wang Mang's immediate superior, the current Shaofu Ling Gu Yong. Fortunately, he knew about it early and took precautions in advance.

Otherwise, if I hate Gu Yong for no reason, how can I cooperate with him in the future?

Now that Liu Xiang is helping him introduce Gu Yong, what will happen even if someone else says bad things about him to Gu Yong?

Originally, Huang Menlang was only nominally subordinate to the Shaofu, and the Shaofu Order almost ignored these subordinates who were nominally his.

If he is really accused of a black case, even if the young man's order cannot deal with Huang Menlang directly, he will at least use his influence to show off his displeasure to his subordinates.

In Wang Mang's opinion, this kind of low-level frame-up means that Chun Yuchang has a brain cramp!

But Wang Mang can no longer turn a blind eye, otherwise, who knows what dirty tricks this grandson will use?

What's more, the relationship between the two is inherently competitive. Whoever laughs last will be the boss of the Wang family in the future!

Although Wang Mang knew what would happen to Chun Yuchang in the end, Chun Yuchang's little actions now made Wang Mang intolerable.

This guy is just like a toad crawling on his feet - he doesn't bite but responds to others!

"Hmph, let's see how I deal with you next."

After leaving Liu Xiang's mansion, Wang Mang finally couldn't help but secretly made a declaration of war to Chunyu Chang.

However, Wang Mang's method of punishing people is different from Chun Yuchang. At this stage, if Wang Mang really wants to deal with Chun Yuchang, he must use someone who can suppress Chun Yuchang's strength.

Looking at the entire Chang'an City, the only people who can suppress Chun Yuchang are the Queen Mother Wang Zhengjun, the Emperor Liu Ao, and the Grand Sima Wang Yin!

Regardless of their status or power, these three people can firmly suppress Chun Yuchang.

But now Liu Ao is not familiar with him, and they almost don't know each other. It is unrealistic to use Liu Ao to repair Chun Yuchang.

There is also the Grand Sima Wang Yin. As the Grand Sima, Wang Yin can also be regarded as the contemporary head of the Wang family.

In Wang Yin's view, the struggle between himself and Chun Yuchang must be a petty quarrel between juniors. If he went to report to Wang Yin because of this trivial matter, then in Wang Yin's heart he would definitely

I will give myself a low score.

After all, how can Wang Yin value herself if she can't even settle this petty quarrel?

Therefore, if Wang Mang wants to repair Chun Yuchang now, the only force he can rely on is his second aunt Wang Zhengjun!

Thinking of this, Wang Mang couldn't help but smile.

Originally, he had no clue about Chunyu Chang, but now Zhao Feiyan has been taken to Weiyang Palace. As long as he went to Changle Palace where Wang Zhengjun was staying, he intentionally or unintentionally told Wang Zhengjun about Zhao Feiyan's entry into the palace. He was still afraid of Wang Zhengjun.

Don’t you think it’s Chunyu Chang who invites you to be charming?

Since Wang Mang had a plan for this matter, he naturally had to implement it quickly.

So, Wang Mang went to Changle Palace on the pretext that he wanted to pay respects to Wang Zhengjun.

Changle Palace is the palace where the Queen Mother of the Han Dynasty lived. It is located to the east of Weiyang Palace. During the Western Han Dynasty, this palace was often called the East Palace.

Therefore, the East Palace in the Western Han Dynasty generally refers to the Changle Palace where the Queen Mother lived.

Changle Palace is very large and is not a subsidiary palace of Weiyang Palace.

It is also a separate royal palace. Together with Weiyang Palace and Jianzhang Palace, it was one of the three major palaces of the Han Dynasty! According to the area measurement unit of later generations, it covers an area of ​​60,000 square kilometers, which is more than eight times the size of the Forbidden City in Beijing during the Ming and Qing Dynasties!

This shows how magnificent the royal style of the Han Dynasty was!

Only one palace surpasses the Forbidden City, which is known as the largest ancient palace building by later generations!

Changle Palace is very large, but there is only one empress dowager, so the place where the empress dowager lives in Changle Palace is only one palace in Changle Palace.

The name of this palace is: Changxin Palace!

It is the most important palace in the Changle Palace complex, and it is also the palace with the highest regulations!

After Wang Mang arrived at Changle Palace, he was led by palace officials to Changxin Palace where Wang Zhengjun was.

After Wang Mang entered the palace, he knelt down and worshiped directly, "Wang Mang, the minister of Huangmen, kowtows to Her Majesty the Queen Mother!"

Wang Zhengjun has long received the news from the palace people.

Wang Zhengjun also liked seeing such a well-behaved and polite nephew.

Wang Zhengjun smiled and said: "Get up quickly. When you get here, you are going home. There is no need to be formal. Just call me aunt."

The queen mother of the Han Dynasty, especially the queen mother of the Western Han Dynasty, had an extremely high status. Not only could she be respectfully called "Your Majesty", but she could also call herself "I"!

Except for Empress Dowager Xiao in the Northern Song Dynasty, this is a lofty status that has never been achieved by any empress dowager in any subsequent dynasty!

Wang Mang stood up and said, "Thank you, aunt."

Wang Zhengjun looked at Wang Mang. She was in a very good mood. She smiled kindly at Wang Mang and said, "Come closer to me and let me take a good look at you."

After Wang Mang snorted, he walked up to Wang Zhengjun in small steps and stood beside him like a good baby.

Wang Zhengjun looked at Wang Mang's appearance and sighed: "It's really hard on you. My second brother left early, and it's not easy for you to support your widowed mother and orphaned sister-in-law alone."

Wang Mang appropriately showed a sad but strong expression and said: "Aunt, my nephew is not a bitter man. He should be filial to his mother and have a respectful brother and sister-in-law. This is the duty of a nephew."

"Some time ago, my nephew heard that his aunt was not in good health. He was very anxious and wished he could serve her. However, the palace was strictly forbidden. Today, my nephew had the opportunity to visit his aunt in the palace and hope that she would forgive her."

Wang Zhengjun smiled and said: "This is all a fuss made by the palace people. I know my health best. I just caught a little cold and will be fine in a short time."

Wang Mang said: "My aunt was able to recover so quickly. This is all due to your majesty. Your majesty respects heaven and is virtuous. He is extremely filial and waits on my aunt's bed. This is how blessings come from heaven and make my aunt healthy."

Wang Zhengjun snorted and said dissatisfiedly: "The emperor has so many things to do, how can he have time to visit me, an old woman?"

Wang Mang was shocked and said: "What? Your Majesty will visit your aunt in the future? Some time ago, my nephew heard that cousin Chunyu escorted Your Majesty out of the palace to pray for blessings... My nephew thought..."

Wang Mang's acting skills are very exciting. He was shocked at first, then stopped talking, and his voice gradually died down.

This immediately aroused Wang Zhengjun's anger.

Wang Zhengjun said angrily: "The emperor left the palace again?"

Wang Mang's expression was tangled, but he finally said firmly: "My nephew heard that Your Majesty left the palace to pray for his aunt, and that his cousin Chunyu was accompanying him. With cousin Chunyu here, my nephew firmly believes that this is the case!"

The question that Wang Zhengjun was thinking about at this time was that the emperor left the palace when she was ill, and he had not come to Changle Palace to pay her respects after returning to the palace for so long. If he really prayed for her, how could he not come to visit her?

Therefore, at this moment, Wang Zhengjun suddenly felt a ray of resentment in his heart!

"Come here, call the emperor. I have something to ask him!"

Wang Zhengjun was feeling angry at the moment. She wanted to summon the emperor to ask her good son whether he had gone to pray for her.

Seeing Wang Zhengjun's reaction, Wang Mang felt secretly happy. When Liu Ao arrived, he rushed to defend Liu Ao and confirmed that Liu Ao came out of the palace just to pray for Wang Zhengjun. Liu Ao would definitely follow this lie.

Keep writing it and be grateful to yourself.

And then as Zhao Feiyan's plot breaks out, Liu Ao will definitely shift the responsibility to Chun Yuchang. Even if Chun Yuchang kisses Wang Zhengjun again, he will inevitably be punished!

It can be said that this is simply a perfect move to kill someone with a borrowed knife and kill two birds with one stone!
