Chapter 647 Traveler
When the food and wine were on the table, the two of them knelt against the table, only four or five meters away. Looking at the wine in the bowl, Wang Mang was stunned for a while, then picked up the bowl and drank it all in one gulp.
Putting down the wine bowl, Wang Mang looked at Jiang Hao and said, "Although I have occupied this hall for more than ten years, this is the first time I drink in the main hall. You must know that there are regulations in the Han Dynasty that you are not allowed to drink and have fun in the main hall, even the emperor. "
"You are a man who obeys the rules." Jiang Hao also picked up the bowl and drank the wine in the bowl in one gulp.
"Abiding by the rules? Hahahaha, I abolished the little emperor, established a new dynasty, and reformed government affairs. All those aristocratic families scolded me for not following the rules, but you think I am a person who abides by the rules."
Wang Mang laughed loudly, but there was a desolation in the laughter, the taste of a hero's twilight.
"I'm curious, how did you come up with those ideas, did you travel through time, what year did you come from?" Jiang Hao finally asked out his doubts.
Yes, this is definitely Jiang Hao's biggest bad taste, and it is also the only reason for keeping Wang Mang behind.
He wanted to find out if this guy was a time traveler.
Many scholars in later generations have been arguing about this issue. Some people say that he is a time traveler, because his behavior is too advanced and coincides with the politics of the 20th century. Some people say that he is a pedantic person who wants to restore the ancient system. .
But there are many unexplained places in it.
The Wang family back then was the first family of relatives. Wang Mang's aunt was Empress Xiaoyuan, Wang Zhengjun. Nine members of the Wang family were enshrined as marquises, and five served as chief ministers. They were the most distinguished family in the Western Han Dynasty. Most of the people in the clan are generals and princes, living extravagantly and sensually.
But Wang Mang behaved differently from ordinary people. The Wang family was a family of relatives with power at the time, and all of them were on the go. Only Wang Mang kept clean, lived a simple life, and was humble. Moreover, he is hardworking and studious, serves his mother and widowed sister-in-law, raises his elder brother's legacy, and behaves rigorously.
He made friends with wise men abroad, and served his uncles at home. He was very thoughtful, and almost all of them became moral models at that time, and their virtuous names spread far and wide.
Before he usurped the throne, he was known as a "sage". Countless people looked up to him, and the emperor demoted him out of Chang'an. In the end, thousands of people joined forces to let Wang Mang come back. It can be seen how popular Wang Mang was at that time, and he was also a very smart person.
It doesn't make sense to use the word "pedantic" to explain it.
Seeing the real person now, Jiang Hao wanted to solve this doubt in his heart.
"Time-traveling? What is time-traveling?" Wang Mang looked at Jiang Hao in surprise.
"Aren't you a time traveler, from the 20th century?" Jiang Hao asked.
Wang Mang shook his head, looking at Jiang Hao like looking at a fool.
"Who said that solitary was born in a big man, but..." At this point, Wang Mang's voice paused, and Jiang Hao's thoughts suddenly arose. Is he going to unlock the real secret?
"Gu has never told anyone about this matter, but now that the matter has come to this point, I am afraid I will die soon, and you actually asked directly, I am afraid you know some clues."
"Just after I became sensible, I found that there was a lot of scattered knowledge in my mind. It was amazing. I flipped through the memories in my mind when I was free. I learned a lot, and some of them made me ecstatic."
"The big man has accumulated too many problems at the end. If we don't correct them, sooner or later there will be peasant uprisings. I wanted to come up with these methods to solve the problems, but I found that it was getting more and more chaotic. Hey, it doesn't work after all."
Wang Mang sighed, showing his loneliness.
Jiang Haoxin asked, is this like in the novel? He is not a time traveler, or he is a time traveler, but his soul dissipated during the time travel, leaving only some knowledge for Wang Mang, and then Wang Mang knew this knowledge. , I saw the crisis of the Han Dynasty, so I took it out and used it.
"So that's it. By the way, do you know about TVs and RMB?" Jiang Hao asked.
Wang Mang looked at Jiang Hao in surprise, then nodded.
"Do you know the phone, the cell phone?"
Wang Mang shook his head, "I know the phone, it's a thing that can be called by shaking, but I don't know what the phone is?"
Hand crank phone? Jiang Hao nodded.
"Do you know tractors and western medicine?" Jiang Hao asked.
"Tractors know about a vehicle that can walk without animal power, and Western medicine knows a little bit about it. I did anatomy tests before and told those quack doctors that the human body is made up of bones, blood vessels and muscles." Wang Mang said.
In this way, the two were drinking and chatting in the hall. Jiang Hao asked out of curiosity, and Wang Mang also learned a lot of things that he didn't understand before through Jiang Hao.
The two kept shouting that Dongfang was pale, and Wang Mang was already a little smoky at the moment. Looking at the whiteness exposed through the window, he suddenly sighed and said, "It's okay to be able to solve decades of doubts in my heart before I die. Rest in peace."
"Why, does the new emperor really want to die?" Jiang Hao asked.
Wang Mang looked at Jiang Hao in surprise, "Don't you kill me? If you don't kill me, how can you explain to your subordinates and establish yourself as king?"
Jiang Hao shook his head, "My subordinates, I have the confidence to control them and make myself king, hehe, that's not my pursuit."
"What are you pursuing? Is there anything bigger than this when you arrive in Chang'an and ascend the throne yourself?" Wang Mang asked in surprise.
Jiang Haoxin said, of course, the world is big, the emperor is big, not as big as the system task.
"Xindi, can you still write?" Jiang Hao asked.
"Naturally!"
"Then write me an imperial edict and make me a Marquis and General," Jiang Hao said.
Wang Mang looked at the guy in front of him, and felt that he was sicker than himself, so he had already held him, and he could be the emperor himself, but now he forced himself to canonize him.
Just write it, and Wang Mang doesn't care anymore. He stood up and walked to the desk, picked up the pen and wrote it. Jiang Hao saw it and immediately took out the Jade Seal of Chuanguo from the space.
Wang Mang took the jade seal and printed it directly on the edict. This edict is considered to be the most effective.
Jiang Hao took back the jade seal, picked up the imperial edict, and it said that he was granted the title of Marquis of the West and General. Jiang Hao waited expectantly for two minutes with the edict, but the system did not respond.
Jiang Hao frowned. Normally, Wang Mang could be regarded as an emperor, so he couldn't seal himself up.
Jiang Hao received the document and said to Wang Mang, "New emperor, give me another seal?"
"Seal what?" Wang Mang asked differently.
Jiang Hao thought for a while, "This time I will become the king."
Wang Mang immediately shook his head, "Non-royal relatives are not allowed to be crowned king. Your surname is Jiang, and being named Marquis is already the highest conferment."
"You can make the emperor yourself an emperor, so what can you do with a prince." Jiang Hao said.
"Forget it, let's play a game with you, my fate is already doomed, so what if I become king." Wang Mang wrote another edict while speaking, this time making Jiang Hao the king of Chang'an.
Jiang Hao found to his dismay that the system was still unresponsive.
Do you really want to make yourself a king and proclaim yourself emperor in Chang'an City?
the next day,
A news spread throughout Chang'an that the new emperor Mang was killed by Jiang Hao. From today onwards, the new dynasty will be completely abolished.
The news spread throughout Chang'an as if it had grown wings, and spread from Chang'an to the big man in all directions.
The separatist forces of all parties received this news one after another. Some people were thankful and others were annoyed, and Jiang Hao took the lead, especially Gengshi Emperor Liu Xuan, who was very upset after hearing the news. He thought he would become the master of this big man , the destiny belongs, but I didn't expect that Chang'an was preempted by a small military marquis.
From this day on, Jiang Hao became completely quiet.
He did not proclaim himself emperor, because he had a feeling that even if he proclaimed himself emperor, the system would not admit it.
This kind of vague feeling is sometimes very accurate.
Jiang Hao didn't really kill Wang Mang, but just spread the news that he secretly imprisoned Wang Mang in a hall of Weiyang Palace, and would drink and chat with him when he was free or not, chat about the general situation, and talk about past achievements and mistakes.
Through communication, Jiang Hao discovered that Wang Mang's ability is really very strong, at least he may not be able to achieve Wang Mang's level if he is allowed to be the emperor.
In the hall, the two sat opposite each other and drank,
After reading the information Jiang Hao gave him, Wang Mang looked at Jiang Hao in amazement and asked, "After you captured Chang'an, you only did one thing. This way, I feel that you will arrange a retreat for yourself."
"I'm curious. You announced my death. Now that the world is divided, why don't you fight for the world?"
Jiang Hao took a sip of wine, pondered for a while, and suddenly said: "Do you believe in fate?"
Wang Mang was a little surprised by this sudden question, but he still thought about it, and said: "Back then, Chen Sheng yelled that "princes and generals are better than each other", but I believed in fate. Sometimes, fate is really related to life." All come."
"The various changes I have made may be a little impatient or have some flaws, but if it hadn't been for years of natural disasters, it would not have led to uprisings everywhere. If it hadn't been for the meteor torrential rain, my army would not have been destroyed by 10,000 soldiers. If people are defeated, this, I am afraid, is life."
Having said that, Wang Mang's voice became very low.
Jiang Hao nodded, "I didn't believe it before, but now I gradually believe it. The moment I got the Jade Seal of Chuanguo, I had the idea of calling myself emperor, but there seemed to be a secret in my heart." The voice tells me that I cannot be called emperor."
"So I have to look again, wait a little longer, and don't worry until the last moment." Jiang Hao said.
His task is to confer the title of marquis and worship general. If it really works to proclaim himself emperor, then he can do it anytime.
He was waiting, waiting for the Chosen One to appear.
When he returned to his dormitory, Jiang Hao received a letter from a secret agent. Jiang Hao opened it and read: "Liu Xiu ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor at Qianqiu Pavilion in Nannan, Hebei, and his country name is "Han"."
Finally proclaimed himself emperor.
Jiang Hao knows the history, so naturally he has always paid attention to this chosen son. When Emperor Gengshi killed Liu Xiu and his brother Liu Yan, Jiang Hao was fighting Wang Mang. Liu Xiu endured the humiliation, and the last person was sent to Hebei. Unexpectedly, Liu Xiu surrendered the Hebei troops only by riding alone.
When he arrived in Hebei, Liu Xiu didn't even dare to enter the city at first, only dared to sleep in the wilderness. But the aura of this guy's protagonist is too strong. When Hebei heroes heard that Kunyang hero Liu Xiu was coming, they all brought their own soldiers and horses, food and grass, and beautiful daughters to join him. After just two or three months, Liu Xiu was in Hebei. become one of the most powerful forces.
At this time Jiang Hao had just entered Chang'an.
Liu Xiu turned on the great magician skills again, and repeatedly suppressed the Wang Lang, Tongma, Qingdu and other rebel armies. Not only did they not suffer any battle losses, but every time they fought, they were able to recruit hundreds of thousands of surrendered troops, greatly increasing their strength. In just a short period of time, Liu Xiu developed into the world's largest force with hundreds of thousands of armors and thousands of miles of land, and was later supported by his subordinates as emperor.
Jiang Hao really wanted to say, your cheating is too outrageous, you are the protagonist of this book!
