Chapter 4 I’ll give you a house!

 After changing into official clothes, Wang Mang began his working career in the Han Dynasty.

Ever since he noticed Chun Yuchang's vague malice towards him, Wang Mang felt like a light was hanging on his back. This feeling of being remembered was really uncomfortable.

Fortunately, there is still a big gap between the two, and after all, they are still relatives. Therefore, even if Chun Yuchang dislikes Wang Mang, he will not embarrass Wang Mang in person. At most, he will arrange some impossible contacts for Wang Mang.

To the emperor's work.

This is tantamount to suppressing Wang Mang's progress invisibly.

After guessing Chun Yuchang's little idea, Wang Mang almost laughed out loud. He was just thinking about how not to be the first to do it, but this idiot Chun Yuchang came to doze off again and gave him a pillow, which was exactly what he wanted.

Wang Mang was also overjoyed. Fortunately, he was treated as an opponent by Chun Yuchang at the beginning. He really regarded pigs and dogs as heroes!

Since he was marginalized by Chun Yuchang, Wang Mang naturally felt comfortable.

After arriving at Weiyang Palace, Wang Mang went to the office where he should go according to his work division.

The place where Wang Mang works in Weiyang Palace is the Han Dynasty Archives in Weiyang Palace - Tianlu Pavilion!

Tianlu Pavilion is regarded as the earliest and largest national library and archives in China. It was built in the early Han Dynasty under the supervision of Xiao He. It is an auxiliary building of Weiyang Palace, corresponding to Shiqu Pavilion.

During the reign of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, Sima Qian used the vast collection of Tibetan writings in Tianlu Pavilion and Shiqu Pavilion to compose a monumental work - "Tai Shi Gong Ji", which was praised by later generations as "the swan song of historians and the rhymeless Li Sao"!

That is the pioneering work of the Twenty-Four Histories of China - "Historical Records"!

The work in Tianlu Pavilion is not very important, but it is very tedious. After all, it collects all the archives and documents since the founding of the Han Dynasty. These archives and documents are often summarized and sorted to prepare for the emperor's unexpected needs.

However, since the Han Dynasty, no emperor has thought of this place again, so as time goes by, the work here has become more and more leisurely, just summarizing new court archives.

Wang Mang also met two new colleagues here. Obviously, these two new colleagues were assigned here either because the backstage was not strong enough or the gifts were not given properly.

After Wang Mang met his two new colleagues, he took the lead in bowing and saying: "I, Wang Mang, a great king, have met two wise men."

When the two people who were sorting out documents heard the newcomer's voice, they stopped, put down the bamboo slips in their hands, and saluted Wang Mang: "Liu Xin, courtesy name Zijun."

After hearing such a concise and concise response, Wang Mang couldn't help but take another look at Liu Xin. He always felt that the name was very familiar, but he just couldn't remember it for a while.

Just when Wang Mang was wondering who Liu Xin was, another person also spoke, "I am Yang Xiong, Ziyun."

Yang Xiong's Sichuan flavored words immediately brought Wang Mang back from his thoughts.

Wang Mang quickly added: "Mang is here for the first time, so I hope you two wise elders will take care of me."

Liu Xin glanced at Wang Mang, with a slight dissatisfaction in his eyes. It was obvious that Liu Xin didn't like Wang Mang a little bit.

Feeling Liu Xin's attitude, Wang Mang was also confused. It seemed that he had never offended him, so why did he have such an attitude when they met?

Faced with Liu Xin's feelings, Wang Mang still smiled modestly and humbly, saying that he was an obedient junior.

When Yang Xiong saw Wang Mang's humble look, he immediately fell in love with him. Yang Xiong walked up to Wang Mang and said, "From now on, we are colleagues. If you have any questions, you can ask me directly."

Wang Mang bowed to Yang Xiong again: "Thank you so much, Brother Ziyun."

After establishing an initial friendship with Yang Xiong, Wang Mang began to chat with Yang Xiong. Wang Mang said: "Brother Ziyun, I heard that your accent is not from Chang'an. May I ask where your hometown is?"

Yang Xiong said: "I am a native of Western Shu. I traveled to Chang'an and was fortunate enough to worship under the great Sima's sect. I was appreciated by the great Sima and was recommended to serve as the minister of Huangmen."

After Wang Mang heard Yang Xiong's self-introduction, a sentence from "The Inscription of the Humble House" immediately popped into his mind: "Zhuge Lu in Nanyang, Yunting in Western Shuzi", and his eyes suddenly lit up.

Obviously, the man named Yang Xiong in front of him must be a great sage. Otherwise, how could he be as famous as Zhuge Liang in Liu Yuxi's works?

Wang Mang was even happier when he heard that he was appreciated by Da Sima and recommended as Huangmenlang.

This relationship is very strong!

Wang Mang, the great Sima at the time, was Wang Mang's fifth uncle. With this relationship, Wang Mang was even more pleased with Yang Xiong. He was one of his own!

Then Wang Mang began to establish a relationship with Xiong. Wang Mang asked: "Brother Ziyun traveled to Chang'an, so he must not have a fixed residence of his own in Chang'an? If he doesn't dislike it, Mang is willing to find a villa for him as a brother."

The place to stay in Chang'an."

Yang Xiong was shocked. They hadn't even talked for a few words. The young man in front of him named Wang Mang was about to give away the house. Looking at his sincere eyes, Yang Xiong couldn't bear to refuse.

Yang Xiong said: "How to do this?"

Wang Mang said again: "Brother, there is no need to refuse. If I can be appreciated by the Grand Sima, I must have something extraordinary. If my brother is as talented as me, if I can't gain a foothold in Chang'an, how can I have the energy to contribute to the court and be loyal to the Grand Sima? Although I

No talent, but great righteousness!"

"Mang will tell you the truth, the great Sima of the current dynasty is Mang's uncle! Mang can do his best for the talents that his uncle appreciates, which is also the way of Mang's filial piety. Please don't refuse, brother!"

When Yang Xiong heard Wang Mang's words, he was immediately shocked. When he first heard Wang Mang announce his name, Yang Xiong couldn't help but wonder if the young man named Wang was a member of the Wang family.

Now when he heard Wang Mang say that he was the nephew of Grand Sima Wang Yin, Yang Xiong was shocked. With such a noble status, he could be so courteous and generous as a corporal. He really deserves to be a descendant of a noble family!

Yang Xiong's favorability towards Wang Mang suddenly increased, "I'm ashamed that I can't bear it!"

Yang Xiong refused again. Although this house made him very excited, it was too expensive and Yang Xiong did not dare to accept it.

But who is Wang Mang?

There is no gift in the world that Wang Mang can't give. Wang Mang said again: "Brother, by refusing like this, is Mang doing something bad? If brother refuses, it means that this hospital has no virtue and cannot be a famous scholar. Mang will leave with a torch."

Burn the courtyard!"

Yang Xiong was once again moved by Wang Mang's sincerity, and finally accepted Wang Mang's gift with tears in his eyes.

Liu Xin on the side was also moved by Wang Mang's sincerity at this moment. He did not expect that there are such humble and kind people among the Wang family.

The reason why Liu Xin had a bad attitude towards the children of the Wang family was because when his father Liu Xiang wanted to take him into the Weiyang Palace to serve as Huang Menlang and study together, Wang Feng, the then Grand Sima, thought that Liu Xiang did not ask him for permission.

, so Liu Xin’s request to be appointed Huang Menlang was rejected.

As a result, Liu Xin wasted several years before he was able to regain the opportunity to serve as Huangmenlang and enter Tianlu Pavilion.

Therefore, Liu Xin has been dissatisfied with the Wang family's children since then.
