Liu Ao returned to the Weiyang Palace and immediately summoned the ministers to the Weiyang Palace, and Wang Mang was naturally among them.

Walking on the steps to the front hall above the dragon head of Weiyang Palace, Wang Mang not only started to think about it, why was His Majesty the Emperor so anxious to summon the ministers to Weiyang Palace?

It's a pity that everyone was confused along the way, and no one knew what happened.

Many people are as confused as Wang Mang.

The person walking next to Wang Mang at this moment is also a high official of the imperial court - Guang Luxun Kong Guang!

Kong Guang is the fourteenth generation grandson of Confucius. He is more than 20 years older than Wang Mang. He looks serious and mature. He is also a scholar-type official and has successively held doctorates, ministers and other positions.

Although he is a descendant of Confucius and studied Confucian classics, Kong Guang actively upheld the law, like a figure from the Legalist school.

After Wang Mang saw Kong Guang, he immediately greeted him humbly: "Mr. Kong."

Kong Guang knew Wang Mang and knew Wang Mang's humility and kindness, so he had a very good impression of Wang Mang.

Kong Guang smiled and said: "Captain Wang, there is no need to be polite."

Kong Guang's title for Wang Mang was very appropriate. As one of the Nine Qings, Guang Luxun was slightly higher than Wang Mang in terms of status and status. Therefore, when he addressed Wang Mang, he did not use the same title as others.

Call Wang Mang a general like that.

Wang Mang smiled humbly and said: "Thank you very much, Mr. Kong."

Then Wang Mang began to ask: "Does Mr. Kong know what your Majesty summoned us for?"

Kong Guang chuckled and did not answer Wang Mang's question.

Seeing this situation, Wang Mang couldn't help but think more highly of Kong Guang.

Kong Guang was indeed as cautious and rigorous as the legend said, never saying a word about the secrets of the palace.

No wonder his evaluation in history is so good.

Wang Mang also smiled slightly and said nothing, one step behind Kong Guang. Kong Guang was very happy to see Wang Mang know etiquette so well. He liked people who abide by the rules and know the laws.

The two of them arrived at the front hall one after another and lined up in the hall one by one.

Wang Mang carefully looked at the situation in the palace and saw a large tray placed in the center of the palace. There was a huge object in the tray, and the giant object was covered with brocade cloth and could not see the whole thing.

Then Wang Mang saw Chun Yuchang standing in front with a proud look on his face, squeezing into the place where only the third male could stand.

Seeing this situation, Wang Mang couldn't help but think about it. Did Chun Yuchang, a fool like him, take the wrong medicine? He actually dared to squeeze in the position of San Gong, wasn't he afraid that the imperial censor would attack him?

However, these are not things that Wang Mang can worry about. Anyway, with his official position in the front hall, he is just a listener, and there is absolutely nothing wrong with him to speak.

Now that you are here, just watch quietly.

While Wang Mang was waiting boredly, Wang Mang's uncle, Grand Sima Wang Yin, finally arrived at the front hall. Just after Wang Yin reached the position at the head of the hundred officials, Liu Ao also made a grand appearance.

When the officials in the palace saw the emperor's appearance, they all worshiped: "See your majesty."

Liu Ao Weijin was sitting on the royal couch, and his voice was like a jade chime and he replied: "Ping Shen."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

After the ministers paid their respects again, they all sat down in the hall, looking at Liu Ao, waiting for Liu Ao to continue to perform.

At this time, Liu Ao glanced at Chunyu Chang. Chunyu Chang understood the idea and immediately stood up and walked out of the queue. He said in surprise: "My lords, I am very happy! Today I accompanied His Majesty on a trip outside the palace. By the bank of the Weishui River, I met a sacred turtle to offer my blessing! God!

Turtle Bei said: 'Long live the great Han, long live the emperor'! This is a blessing from God!"

After hearing Chun Yuchang's words, everyone in the hall was shocked and looked surprised.

Even Wang Mang is no exception, but Wang Mang's surprise may be different from others.

People in the Han Dynasty firmly believed in auspicious blessings, but as a good young man who had been baptized by the red flag, Wang Mang certainly did not believe this nonsense.

Especially since there was an auspicious situation not long ago, and now it happens again, will God seem a little too busy?

Anyway, this is Wang Mang's mentality. He just wants to see what tricks Chun Yuchang, this big fool, is going to play?

Wang Yin is the closest to the auspiciousness that Chun Yuchang said. After hearing what Chun Yuchang said, his face was not too troubled, because he also knew that auspiciousness does not mean that it is a common commodity.

Therefore, for the sake of caution, before all the ministers unanimously approved it, he could not directly flatter him and follow Chun Yuchang in such shameless praise.

After all, as the head of hundreds of officials, as the Grand Sima, Wang Yin still needs to have this kind of reserve and determination.

At this time, Liu Ao finally spoke, "Weiwei can uncover this brocade cloth and watch the auspiciousness of the turtle with all the ministers."

After Chunyu Chang received Liu Ao's order, he proudly walked to the front of the palace. Under the attention of all the officials, he waved his hand to uncover the brocade cloth covering the "Godly Turtle".

A behemoth as big as a tripod appeared in front of everyone. Everyone looked shocked when they saw such a giant turtle!

This turtle is so majestic!

This was everyone's first reaction. Even Wang Yin, who was sitting at the front, was shocked by this giant turtle. A turtle as big as this should live for thousands of years! Maybe it is really a divine turtle!

All the officials stood up one after another, and without waiting for Liu Ao to say anything, they all gathered around and looked at the back of the giant turtle lying motionless on the spot.

After everyone saw the eight big seal characters on the turtle's back, they all looked in awe, calling it Shen Rui.

Wang Mang also followed Kong Guang and took a look. Wang Mang looked at the words on the back of the giant turtle and glanced at Chun Yuchang, who was enjoying the spring breeze at the moment. He immediately understood what was going on.

Wang Mang looked at the words on the turtle's back carefully, and whispered in Kong Guang's ear in a faint voice: "The word "year" seems to be missing."

After Kong Guang heard this muttering, he immediately turned his attention to the word "Sui". In an instant, Kong Guang also keenly saw the problem with the word "Sui".

Kong Guang suddenly lost his composure. He stood up suddenly and bowed to Liu Ao: "Your Majesty, I have a request!"

Kong Guang's voice was loud and directly attracted the attention of everyone in the hall.

Liu Ao couldn't help but look down at Kong Guang, and at the same time, a trace of panic flashed in Chun Yuchang's eyes.

Liu Ao said: "If you have anything you want, it doesn't matter if you say it."

Kong Guang bowed and said, "Your Majesty, I am too old to recognize the inscriptions on the back of the tortoise because I am old and dim. I hope you will allow me to stroke the back of the tortoise so that I can discern the inscriptions on the tortoise."

As soon as Kong Guang finished speaking, Chun Yuchang immediately jumped out, "Guang Luxun, please don't be rude! This turtle is a miracle, how can you desecrate it?"

After hearing Chunyu Chang's words, Kong Guang was undaunted and just looked at Liu Ao, waiting for Liu Ao's response.

Liu Ao also knew that Kong Guang was a person who was extremely sincere.

Since he wants to touch the turtle's back, he must not stop until he touches it, otherwise he will definitely ask again and again.

Moreover, all the officials are now in the palace. If Kong Guang is not allowed to touch the inscription on the back of the turtle, I am afraid that the auspiciousness of the turtle will not be able to convince everyone.

Therefore, Liu Ao also replied: "Since you have asked for this, I will do whatever you want. I will comply with your request."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Kong Guang bowed to Liu Ao, and then set his sights on the turtle.

At the same time, a hand was also stretched out!
