It was a coincidence that Zheng Xing arrived in Chang'an, which happened to be the first day of the first lunar month of the second year of Wude (26 AD).

The night was seven minutes before the end of the day, and the bell rang. At this time, the sky was getting dark and the dynasty meeting began. The ritual officials led all civil and military officials to enter the hall gate according to their rank. Although the palace was still in the three-month mourning period, there were no bright five-color flags hanging, and the chariots and cavalry guards were also wrapped in white towels, as the ritual officials "got" to the ritual officials, the ritual officials walked forward neatly and orderly, and arranged in shifts in east and west directions.

Emperor Wu rode a carriage to the court amid the sound of bells, drums, rituals and music. All officials offered the following ceremony. The marquis offered jade, two thousand stones, two thousand stones of lambs, six hundred stones, and pheasants below four hundred stones. Outside the palace, a place filled with sheep, geese, and pheasants, was not lively at all.

After the ministers came to the palace to say "Long live", Di Wulun personally sent the prepared gifts to the three ministers and nine ministers. Although they were black paint boxes, in Di Wulun's view, this was actually a red envelope distributed by the boss to the employees. This was a gift to comfort them for a year of hard work. The contents contained carefully selected things, representing different meanings.

For example, when Fengchang Wang Long’s good book received the latest production of the best vine paper, Lieutenant Di Qibiao got a hundred-smelting knife made by the steel filling method, and Di Fifth Ren personally ordered it to be the "Seven-Star Treasure Sword".

This knife moved Brother Biao so much that he almost cut off his seven orifices on the spot. Since the Supreme Emperor died, the Eighth Jiao is far away in Liangzhou. He, the "elder" of the royal family, must take responsibility and deal with the clan juniors!

Geng Chun, Jing Dan, Ma Yuan, Wu Han, Di Bajiao and others who were far away in the provinces all had their share. They were sent by post cavalry and must arrive around the main dan. This is also considered the unique "corporate culture" of Wei. Even if they sell titles and wealth, and ministers sell martial arts, they still have to be covered with a warm and human touch.

After the ceremony, the wine was placed, and the ministers raised their cups and sat in the front hall of Weiyang to play the music of food and cheering, and all officials were given a banquet.

Zheng Xing failed to attend the banquet and only waited in the side hall, so he had to give him a cup of spring wine. It was not until the banquet in the main hall came to an end that the ministers were satisfied and took the emperor's gift to show off. The fifth reunion came to meet him with a slightly drunken indulgence.

Zheng Xing walked forward. Although he was wearing narrow-sleeved clothes, he was still like a wide robe and big sleeves in the past. He was like a bird spreading his wings and creeping and bowing: "Liar Zheng Xing, pay homage to Your Majesty."

"Zheng Shaogan, I haven't seen each other for six or seven years since I left Liu Zijun's family?" After Wang Long reminded him, Di Wulun finally remembered this person and asked, "Is there any change when I return to Chang'an? How about Nanyang?"

Zheng Xing had already thought about how to answer, but at this moment, he swallowed even more and only used his hand to cover his face: "The villain is rude, he is rude!"

Wu Lun noticed that Zheng Xing's eyes were really red, and he thought that this person was good at making fakes and pretending to be pretentious in front of him, and he was a little displeased.

This was wronged Zheng Xing. His crying was true feelings. Since leaving Chang'an three years ago, he has not heard of string songs for a long time. The outside world is full of swords and swords, and he cannot tolerate slow rituals and music.

He once served as an official in Liu Xuan's Green Han Palace and assisted Liu Xuan in the construction of the system, but Liu Xuan's use was inhumane. People at that time laughed at: "House under the stove, the generals of the Central Army, the stomach of the rotten sheep, the commander of the cavalry, the head of the cavalry, the head of the sheep, and the marquis of the Guannei." These guys with slanted noses and crooked mouths flooded the Wancheng court, and the commander of the Green Forest Qu were all a group of bandits, and some even boasted to Liu Xuan in the hall how much property they had robbed at the garrison.

As for the Red Eyebrows? That's even hard to describe. After capturing Wancheng, Xu Xuan also wanted to develop some hierarchy system and ask Zheng Xing to assist in the banquet. On the day of the celebration, some Red Eyebrow soldiers suddenly broke in and joined the banquet on their own. Fan Chong didn't think it was offended. He ended up playing with them with their naked arms and chests, and they were full of smoke and chaos.

It's really worse than a crab. Since then, Zheng Xing has been sure that Red Eyebrows cannot make any achievements. As a master of classics, his status in Red Eyebrows is not as good as a knife-wielding man, and he just waits for the opportunity to escape.

Until now, I heard the jingling chime bells and the familiar feasting song "The First Banquet of the Bin", and after listening to it for a while, tears filled my eyes.

He slowed down for a while before saying, "I have been ceremonially chasing and music for a long time. I will not want to see the prestige of the court again today."

This is pretty good. The fifth reunion heard that Zheng Xing was the most recognized successor among Liu Xin’s many disciples. He was a famous master of classics. If he really wanted to argue with the scriptures, the members of the fifth reunion may not be his opponents.

It’s a pity that Wei did not argue.

Therefore, the fifth reunion did not attach much importance to Zheng Xing. Most of this person was a casual job in the Taixue School. Because he had helped to practice the "Three Tong Calendar", he might be able to contribute to the Wei calendar, which is all.

As for the "Red Eyebrow Secret" that Zheng Xing wants to report, the Red Eyebrow Army is no better than other regimes and has no borders, otherwise Zheng Xing would not have run out so easily. Cen Peng had long sent many secret spies in, and the embroidered guards also appeared in Nanyang, causing trouble to the Red Eyebrow Army's abolition of the Wellfield Abolition Army.

If you want to ask about the reality of the Red Eyebrow, the fifth relationship is probably better than Zheng Xing, a marginal person.

But among the almost transparent red eyebrows, there is also a mystery that cannot be explained indescribable to the fifth relationship, which just happened to ask Zheng Xing.

"Since Shaogan comes from the thief's nest, then Yu is about to ask you."

Wu Lun said: "Who is the 'Tian Weng' who reformed the Red Eyebrow, promoted the well field, and abolished the slaves?"

The fifth reunion asked at the right time. Zheng Xing was shocked and bowed again, and told him that he vowed not to tell Chimei's big secret under the threat of Juwuba!

"I have seen it with my own eyes."

"Wen Tian is Wang Mang."

"Wang Mang is Weng Tian!"

...

"Your Majesty is probably granted by God!"

Zheng Xing walked out of the side palace and only sighed so much in his heart.

When I met Di Wu Lun at Liu Xin's family, Xiao Wu was still a young man. Although he was known as filial piety and brotherly love, Zheng Xing really didn't see anything special and recognized Huan Tan's evaluation of Di Wu Lun's "village people".

But today is different. I only feel that His Majesty Emperor Wei is brilliant and makes Zheng Xing dare not look up to him.

What shocked him even more was that Wang Mang's pseudonym Tian Weng went to Chimei, which was something that no Warring novelists dared to make up. However, the Fifth Reun could guess that when Zheng Xing confirmed this, the Fifth Reun's reaction was not shocked at all. He just clapped his hands and said, "It's true."

"I really don't know the jade of Jingshan." Zheng Xing told himself this. In fact, he was not only misunderstood this time. When he was a senior student in the Imperial Academy, he received students from various prefectures and counties. The registration name was that a young man from Nanyang was found to be "Liu Xiu".

Isn’t this the same name as his teacher? As a disciple, what kind of morality is Zheng Xing calling the teacher’s name on the spot? So Zheng Xing tried to persuade him and asked Liu Xiu to change his name...

Now the aggrieved Tai student is already the King of Wu. He crossed the southeast and became the last hope of the Han family. I heard that the etiquette system has been well built. After all, among the monarchs and ministers of Wu Han, Tai students account for half of them, which is higher than the fifth reunion.

Zheng Xing also hesitated when he fled. Should he want to throw Emperor Wei in the north or run south to the King of Wu? Although he had a nominal "teacher-student relationship", he was not sure whether King Xiu of Wu would hold a grudge against the humiliation that year.

"Happy, I chose not wrong."

Zheng Xing'an thought that Chang'an was so peaceful that he could finally sit down and do some research quietly. The fifth reunion had already removed his position as a "suggestion doctor" and had a rank of 600 stones, and he had enough rice and grain.

But he still did not understand the style of "not raising idle people" in the fifth reunion, and also gave Zheng Xing a political task.

"Write the experiences of the subordinates in the red eyebrows into a record of their experiences?" Zheng Xing had just received the seal and ribbon when he received the instructions from his superiors.

"Yes." Wang Long, who was in charge of the propaganda, advised Zheng Xing: "Don't exaggerate or hide evil, just tell the truth. Once the book is completed, you can print thousands of copies, so that scholars all over the world can know..."

"The Red Eyebrow Thieves are extremely vicious!"

...

To portray the Red Eyebrow as a civilized enemy, to unite from Guanzhong to Hebei and Luoyang, all "reactionary forces" will destroy it, at least drive it out of the Central Plains and chase it to the Jianghuai River. This is the current strategy of the Wei court.

Wei has obtained one-third of the prefectures and counties in the world, with the strongest population in the world, but the fifth reunion still has two "great enemies" in his heart.

A Liu Xiu, who was naturally extremely restrained and had a dull hair development in the south, did not go north to the East China Sea and fight with the Red Eyebrow and King Qi as the fifth reunion hoped. Instead, he changed his direction and began to attack Jingzhou, occupy Jiangxia County as a base, and recently he had the idea of ​​Jingnan counties.

In addition to Xiu'er, the fifth reunion is the most concerned about Chimei, because it is both a republic and a common field. The smell is too strong, and it is difficult for him to not look at it sideways.

But if you take aside these names that are easy to attract attention and think about it carefully, you will find that they are all nonsense fists, unlike the "time traveler walking with you" who is clear-headed.

According to various information, all this pointed to the mysterious "Wen Tian".

And now, Di Wu Lun finally understood why Chimei's actions suddenly became so "familiar".

"It was indeed the 'Time Traveler'."

The fifth reunion, who was alone in the hall, was not as calm as Zheng Xing, and was walking with his hands behind his back, a little anxious.

It is difficult for him to clearly express his emotions, fear and worries? There is no such thing as a "traitor" guilt in the fifth relationship.

Joy and joke? Maybe a little bit, after all, Mangchao brought him too much laughter and cry.

But the most important thing is emotion, compassion.

Wu Lun lives in a greenhouse hall. Because there is a hot spring underground, it is quite warm, so at the beginning of the cold first lunar month, there is a small moth swaying around the house.

It miraculously survived the severe winter and could live until spring when it was dormant. However, the little life longed for warmth, and there was only light in its eyes, and it flew over at the burning candlelight!

The candle flashed suddenly, the flames ignited its wings, and it was covered with wax, so it could only flutter on the table and struggle.

"How can you be stingy to burn yourself? Alas, why bother?"

The fifth reunion didn't know whether he should scold this stupid moth.

He was kind, picked up the little moth, and brought it to a position not far or near by the candlelight, so that it could feel the warmth before its death until its life disappeared little by little.

When Xinmang was an official, the fifth reunion had already seen through this strange dynasty. Unlike the royal family who were willing to die in the dark, Liu, noble relative, and five marquis, Wang Mang longed for light. He longed for the legendary rule of the three generations and took the peaceful world to reality as his mission.

Ideals are important.

But how to practice ideals is more important, and the two are like heaven and earth.

Wang Mang knew the problem in the world, but his solution to the problem is really hard to describe.

Just like a moth can't figure out where the safe light source is, it will even turn the opposite direction and pounce on the flames that are destined to be destroyed. Even if it has been burned once, the direction of his efforts at this dying moment is still the illusory light!

Sad? Respected? Only not ridiculous!

But this short-term emotional fluctuation will not affect what the fifth reunion needs to do.

“Some people are alive.”

"He is dead."

"Some people are dead."

"He's still alive."

The fifth reunion suddenly started to recite this poem, which corresponds to Wang Mang's legendary experience, which is really appropriate.

"Wang Mang, Wang Mang, it seems that you are unwilling to be finalized just like this, so you still have to struggle."

Wu Lun let go of his hand and buried the moth's corpse in the ashes, without any sadness in the spring.

"I have to go to the Central Plains in person to you, Xinchao, and to completely nail the coffin board for the retro road that has been proven to be wrong!"
