If Ma Su had not advised Wang Mang, and if Ma Su had not made a direct analysis to Wang Mang, I am afraid that Wang Mang would not have given up so easily.
The one hundred eagle guards had withdrawn their bows and arrows, and the fifty black armored guards had followed Chunyu Qiong out of the palace.
Now that all the men guarding the palace gate, except Deng Ai, have been taken away by the Yuying Guards, naturally the personnel in this position must be replaced immediately.
There is Pang Juan beside Li Mu who can understand his thoughts. Although there is no such figure beside Wang Mang, at this moment, when Qin Hui and Liang Ji are not around him, Ma Su is the one who can understand Wang Mang best.
.
Although Wang Mang spared the lives of Wang Jian and others, according to Wang Mang's temper, he would definitely not leave Wang Jian and others with Li Mu for Li Mu's use.
Just when Li Mu was thinking about how to let Wang Jian, Bai Qi and others stay in the palace, Deng Ai walked up to Li Mu and Wang Mang in a few steps.
At first, he didn't even look at Li Mu, and then Deng Ai bent over and cupped his fists at Wang Mang, who was looking at him with a cloudy look, and said: "Former... the former Colonel of General Hussars... the Colonel, now the Lieutenant Deng... Deng Ai pays homage to the Colonel..."
General."
"Former captain of the army? Langmen Lang?" But after listening to Deng Ai's introduction, Wang Mang also looked him up and down and said: "Since he was a former captain of the army, how could he become a Langmenlang?"
"Back... back to the general... because... he stuttered due to... his humble... humble position."
After replying to Wang Mang, Deng Ai said to him with only Wang Mang in his eyes: "General...general, although...it has been some time since he took up the humble position of Yanmenlang, but...but the humble position has not changed...changed
It was a habit that was already... formed after being dropped in the army."
While speaking, Deng Ai took out a thin pair of hands from his girdle and presented them to Wang Mang.
Looking down at what Deng Ai was holding, Wang Mang asked him doubtfully, "What is this?"
"Back... back to the General... General, this is a record of the march... of all my colleagues in the humble position. It contains... records of Zhang Fusu's daily words and deeds."
"Zhang Fu?"
"Back to the general, Zhang... Zhang Fu is the one who wants to trap the general into injustice, and uses the sword in the general's hand to instigate the righteousness between the general and... and His Majesty, the king and his ministers."
As Deng Ai's voice fell, not only Li Mu, Wang Mang, but also Ma Di couldn't help but look at Deng Ai one more time.
Since Deng Ai took the marching record in his hand, and Wang Mang just scrawled through two pages and handed the record to Ma Su beside him.
I have to say that Deng Ai knew the timing of his appearance quite accurately.
It not only left a very good impression on Wang Mang, but also avoided the bad luck of being taken away and severely interrogated.
"General!"
But seeing Wang Mang's admiration for Deng Ai, Ma Di also took advantage of the opportunity and sized up the situation and said: "General, the palace gate is like the gate of the country, and it should be guarded by capable people. Although Deng Xiaowei no longer serves in the army, he can still maintain his position in the army.
To be highly educated, to be strict with oneself, and not to forget dangers, this kind of quality is really rare.”
"You are right!" But after listening to what Ma Di said, Wang Mang also admired Deng Ai and said: "Deng Xiaowei heard what General Ma said? There is no small matter in the country, even guarding a small city gate is the most important thing of the country.
Things, let alone guarding this palace gate that is related to the rise and fall of our Daqi?"
"I humbly accept my order!" But hearing what Wang Mang said, Deng Ai couldn't understand. He immediately bowed to Wang Mang and expressed his stance: "General, please rest assured, the door is still there and the people are there, and the door is dead and the people are dead, as long as you are humble...
As long as I have a chance to breathe in this humble position... I will end it... I will never let the villains take advantage of me again, and I will never let what happened today happen again... make the same mistake again!"
"Okay! It's good that you don't let Xiaoxiao have another chance to take advantage of you, and you don't let what happened today happen again! Deng Ai, I will now make you the general in front of the palace and assign a hundred eagle guards to your command and deployment.
You must protect His Majesty, General!"
Not only did Wang Mang deliberately bite this last sentence very hard, he even looked at Li Mu when he said the entire sentence.
In the face of the emperor, he was granted the title of general!
This is no longer a simple provocation to Li Mu, but a complete disregard for Li Mu!
The atmosphere that was originally relaxed suddenly became solemn again as Wang Mang finished speaking.
Zhen Mi, who was standing behind Li Mu, immediately turned red and bit her lower lip.
She wanted to step forward to rescue Li Mu, but she found that she was completely powerless.
Why did Wang Mang do this in front of Li Mu?
Come to confer an official title on Deng Ai?
He wanted to trample and trample Li Mu's dignity as emperor in public.
It was not until this moment that she, Zhen Mi, finally understood how difficult it was for Li Mu, the fake emperor, to do what he did!
Even if I can't help him, at least I can stand with him!
Thinking of the little power she could do, Zhen Mi also took steps and walked firmly towards Li Mu.
However, just as she took a step forward, she was pulled back by Pang Juan who was standing beside her.
"Queen, you must not come forward."
Before Zhen Mi could question, Pang Juan spoke to her first.
"Why can't I come forward?" But after hearing what Pang Juan said, Zhen Mi also asked him urgently.
Looking at Zhen Mi's increasingly anxious eyes, Pang Juan lowered his voice and said to her: "Dragon has reverse scales and will be angry when touched. Haven't you understood it yet, Queen? Your Majesty has reverse scales on your body. If you
At this time, if the general is interested in touching you again? Queen, listen to me, you are really helping His Majesty by standing here."
Zhen Mi could be said to be listening carefully to Pang Juan's words.
Until Pang Juan finished what he wanted to say, Zhen Mi still hadn't recovered from what Pang Juan had just said.
If she had some resistance to Li Muchhang before, she might not be able to resist it after this!
Because, at this moment, she was really attracted to Li Mu.
A sob pulled Zhen Mi away from her heart palpitations towards Li Mu.
It hit the ground several times, making a loud bang and knocking everyone off guard.
When Li Mu searched for the source of the kowtow sound, he saw that Deng Ai's forehead was already bleeding.
Holding up a colorful face filled with gratitude, Deng Ai opened his mouth and cried to Wang Mang without wiping away tears: "General, this is a humble... humble position... Thank you, General, for your... support!"
"The great...general, today, I would like to express my gratitude to you, the great general, for my kindness...to be reincarnated again."
Another crunching sound rang out from the ground. Deng Ai's knock was louder than the previous ones. The knock was even harder, so heavy that Li Mu even felt his feet swaying.
Looking down at Deng Ai's face stained with blood and tears, Wang Mang was also moved by his true feelings.
This Deng Ai said earlier that he served as a school captain under Zhou Zha, and later became a prisoner!
Wang Mang knew Zhou Zha best. He knew the reason why Deng Ai was demoted without even thinking about it.
It must be because Zhou Zha disliked Deng Ai's stuttering!
That's why when he entrusted Deng Ai with an important task, Deng Ai was moved and said to him the words "Gen Tong Reinvention" and "Reinvention Zhien".
He bent down and helped Deng Ai up from the ground. Wang Mang looked at his tearful eyes and said, "From now on, you will have to change your position to a humble position and become a general."
After saying this to Deng Ai, before Deng Ai could be moved, Wang Mang continued to say to him: "General Deng, in your opinion, how should these twenty or so people be accommodated?"
But after listening to Wang Mang's question, Deng Ai was flattered and hurriedly turned around to look at Wang Jian, Bai Qi and others who were standing behind Li Mu.
When he turned around, Deng Ai naturally ignored Li Mu!
Ignoring him so much that his eyes didn't even include Li Mu's hair.
Regarding Deng Ai's complete disregard for him, Li Mu was really confused at this moment.
He couldn't tell whether Deng Ai really surrendered to Wang Mang or was pretending to surrender.
Now this guy has his secret letter on his body. If this guy backhands this secret letter to Wang Mang, then he will really shoot himself in the foot - asking for trouble!
"Return to the general!"
Under Li Mu's nervousness and Wang Mang's leisurely attitude, Deng Ai suddenly looked away from Wang Jian and others and turned back to Wang Mang.
The moment he looked back at Wang Mang, Deng Ai winked at Li Mu.
Although this glance was fleeting, it was still clearly captured by Li Mu.
"Go back to the general...!"
First, he gave Wang Mang a deep fist, and then Deng Ai said: "In my humble opinion, since they have come all the way to seek refuge with His Majesty, the general should facilitate this good talk and let them... in front of His Majesty's Palace."
