Chapter 538 Wang Mang's Death(2/2)
"When I was the Duke of Anhan, I was also supported by the people of Chang'an. Everyone regarded me as Duke Zhou's rebirth. As I spoke, I believed it."
"When the Sanyong was repaired, I gave a notice, which attracted more than 100,000 people around Chang'an to join the construction site and transport bricks and soil. In just 20 days, the new house of the Imperial Academy was completed, which is a strange thing."
"When I replaced the Han family, no one in common people thought of the Han people, and everyone was willing to bring peace to me!"
"But I was defeated in the end. The fifth relationship, although all the people are now incited by you, it is like your arms, but as you said, water can carry a boat and can also overturn it. How can I know that today is not your tomorrow?"
"What kind of virtue do you have? You can be sure that you will be able to accomplish your unfinished karma!?"
The fifth reunion was silent for a long time, and finally smiled.
"Of course."
Wu Lun continued to walk towards Wang Mang, walking to him, and said with his ears: "Wang Weng and I have the same philosophy, but the methods are different. In the final analysis, it is just that we have different perspectives."
"Wang Weng's 'Three Dynasties' was the conjecture of Confucian scholars about ancient things. It was illusory and randomly fabricated things used in the Jishi world, which would only add chaos to the chaos."
"But I, really, have seen three generations!"
After keeping the words that Wang Mang was puzzled, the fifth reunion kept silent and his figure was staggered, and the conversation between the two came to an abrupt end.
The fifth child said halfway. Wang Mang did not understand the meaning of this sentence. As the drum beat sounded at the end of the Dongque city of Weiyang, the time had already come. Peng Chong, the court officer, asked Wang Mang to go to the guillotine according to the instructions of the fifth reunion.
But Wang Mang only looked at the fifth reunion in a steady manner, his still confident eyes, and his mysterious smile, which made Old Wang Mang dizzy and unable to understand.
As Wang Mang appeared beside the wall of the East Palace, the people began to cheer again, their voices filled with impatient voices. The heat wave was even more vicious than the sun in May, and it was almost melting Wang Mang!
At this time, Wang Mang did something very strange.
The old man looked back at the fifth reunion again and murmured slightly, as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he didn't say it. He just stretched out his hands and touched the empty head, as if he had taken off the crown of the emperor that did not exist.
Wang Mang is a great scholar, and of course he understands the difference between "killing tyrants" and "killing a husband", which means that until the moment of his death, he is still a "jun".
He once told Fan Chong of Chimei that his original plan was to show his identity after the Red Eyebrow's reform was successful, and then accept his fate happily, but he would take the position of the emperor to those who could inherit his career before he died.
Although the matter was somewhat different from what he had imagined, the "successor" was talented but not virtuous, no matter what, Wang Mang finally found him before he died.
Wang Mang reluctantly raised his hands slowly, as if carrying a weight of ten thousand pounds, and then stretched out in front of millions of people and handed them to the fifth reunion from the air!
Since the fifth reunion wants to use him as a sacrifice to complete this "revolution" and create peace, Wang Mang, who has been working tirelessly to achieve peace throughout his life, will fulfill him.
The fifth reun was stunned at first, and then seemed to have understood Wang Mang's intention, but he did not accept the title of void and only shook his head at Wang Mang.
He patted the Emperor's crown on his head, first pointing to the sky, then to the East Que! to the people!
I don't need your abdication.
My position as emperor comes from the will of heaven and the hearts of the people.
Wang Mang laughed silently, but he still missed it.
He turned his head dejectedly, followed the direction of the fifth reunion's finger, and walked to the wall of the east que. The guard stopped him and jumped down, but Wang Mang just wanted to see the crowd below, and his eyes turned red for a moment, and then bowed heavily to them!
Is this an apology or a farewell?
But what greeted him was the increasing scolding.
Accompanied by the scolding, Wang Mang walked on the torture instruments called the "guillotine" by the fifth reunion. This was more decent than dismembering five horses and placing five punishments.
He had wooden strips to fix Wang Mang's head. He refused to lie down and chose to lie down on his face and face death.
The wooden strips were actually carved with fine wooden work, and the patterns on them were unique. They were pairs of people's hands, holding Wang Mang's white hair.
What about the horizontal railing on the guillotine? It is a mixture of auspicious clouds, like the will of heaven in the dark.
As for the trapezoidal oblique blade, the pattern is painted with Xing Tian dancing Gan Qi.
The person who was ordered to execute the execution was Peng Chong, the prefect of Han Yuyang, Peng Hong. Because he opposed Wang Mang's killing, Peng Chong had a family feud with Wang Mang. At that time, the fifth reunion brought him to Chang'an, just to let Peng Chong kill Wang Mang if he had no choice...
Unexpectedly, he could not escape the first day of the lunar month or the fifteenth day of the year. Peng Chong shivered and held the guillotine. With just a sudden pull, the axe blade could fall and cut off Wang Mang Hao's head!
The crowd suddenly calmed down, swallowed, widened their eyes, stood on tiptoe, waiting to see this scene that had never been heard of.
The ministers on the front of the city who hated or sympathized with Wang Mang also held their breath.
However, Wang Mang stared blankly at the blade. When a person died, he was either he was heavier than Mount Tai or lighter than a feather. What was he?
He suddenly felt very tired, everything was spinning, just muttering, Wang Mang muttered the last words.
"The fifth relationship, I hope you can really make up for me, make up for it, and make peace in the world..."
He closed his eyes, even his breathing stopped, and his life stopped for a moment before being punished.
But no one noticed this. The executioner lifted Wang Mang's white hair. With a crisp drum beat, Peng Chong let out his hand. The blade fell down rapidly, and the splashed blood dyed the head of Dongque City red!
After a brief silence, as Wang Mang's head was raised high by Peng Chong to show the public, Chang'an became a sea of cheering.
Someone breathed a sigh of relief in the crowd.
Above the city wall, the ministers were worried.
In Anding Hall, some people were crying with tears in their faces.
The fifth reunion only stood firmly in place and bowed to Wang Mang's body again.
"Diet with peace of mind."
The past history is cut off here.
A new history should be created by him.
...
Everything seemed to have stopped, but it seemed to have not stopped.
The world is in darkness.
The first thing that sounded was the sound of heartbeat, and my own heartbeat was thumping, as if the sleeping life was trying to recover.
However, there was a murmur that poured into his ears, surrounded by language that he couldn't understand, and strange sounds ticking.
When he gradually regained his consciousness, he found that he did not seem to be above the East Palace or under the guillotine, but lying flat on the soft "couch".
After working hard, he opened his eyes, but immediately, a strong light pierced into his eyes, forcing him to close again.
After plucking up the courage again, he finally tentatively restarted his eyes, and his pupils immediately became sharp.
Wang Mang saw the dazzling light source.
Hanging on the white roof, the huge and bright "candle" emits light that looks like the sun.
...
Chapter completed!
