In the throne room, Wang Mang's sharp eyes swept across the crowd of His Highness' officials. He noticed that after Chen Chong said those words, all of their expressions changed. It seemed that many of the rules he had set back then had been violated by them!

The laws of the Great New Kingdom had indeed made it clear that local officials and officials serving in the imperial court could recruit brave men to protect their own houses and feudal fiefs. This was also a clear rule regarding the number of people to be recruited!

Although there were clear rules, a lot of people came over the limit to recruit brave villagers. It had to be known that the birds were secretly living, not to mention these fat and oily officials. Almost everyone was afraid of death, and their families had a bunch of evil slaves to watch over them.

In fact, this was a private secret that everyone had made public. As the emperor, he had kept an eye out for the truth. Originally, everyone had known about this matter, but they had never thought that this disciple would impeach Chen Chong.

This was a complete slap to the face, and it was the face of a group of people. Just look at those ashen-faced people. Half of them were in the court!

After Chen Chong said this, Wang Mang's face darkened. He was a suspicious person; back then, he did not take Chen Chong down when Wang Shisheng and the rest had impeached Chen Chong. Instead, he sent a personal attendant to give Chen Chong a beating.

It could be said that in Wang Mang's heart, everyone was the target of suspicion. He didn't believe anyone's words; the Emperor's technique lay in the balance of power, and since Chen Chong was now a target of public criticism, he would definitely put up a desperate resistance. And when he was ready to fight to the death, he would pull even more people out as a scapegoat!

This was exactly what Wang Mang wanted. It could be said that the person Chen Chong was leaning on right now was Wang Mang, and it was Wang Mang who intentionally let him live.

At that time, no matter what, he would behead Chen Chong. If Wang Mang was able to topple Chen Chong, then he would be promoted to a higher rank. If he could not topple Chen Chong, then he, the emperor, would use the crimes listed out by Wang Sheng to kill Chen Chong! Wang Shisheng would be sent to the frontier.

However, his current plan had changed. He was planning to use Chen Chong, the one who was on the verge of death, to create a storm in the imperial court. Chen Chong was just a fuse, and the direction and destructive power of this storm was ultimately decided by him, the current emperor!

Not only would he not kill Chen Chong, but he would also give Chen Chong some benefits. For someone who was about to die, if you gave him a little favor, he would definitely do everything he could to help you with something, and the effect would definitely exceed his expectations!

"Disciple Wang!" Is what Chen Chong said true?! " When Wang Mang sternly questioned Wang Shusheng, he couldn't help but shiver. After that, he was actually scared to the point of wetting his pants by Wang Mang's scolding!

Seeing the urine stain on Wang Shishi's body, Wang Mang said even more harshly, "It seems Chen Chong's words are true! You actually dare to defy my orders and gather more village men. I think you are the one who wants to rebel! Someone! First, we shall imprison this disciple of our King and send him to prison, so that he can be released in the future! "

As soon as Wang Mang's words left his mouth, four silver-armored bodyguards rushed out from the two sides of the hall and pushed down Wang Shishi, then pulled off his official hat and stripped off his uniform. In an instant, Wang Shishi looked like a madman with unkempt hair and disheveled clothes!

Of the four guards, two of them were accepting Disciple Wang's imperial robes and hat, while the other two were dragging him away like a dead dog towards the exit of the hall. Disciple Wang didn't come back to his senses until they had almost dragged him out of the hall. This old official is innocent! Your Majesty! "Chen Chong is the one with ill intentions, Your Majesty …"

After the two bodyguards had dragged Wang Disciple down, all of the ministers in the hall became as quiet as cicadas in the winter. Some of them were secretly wiping the sweat off their foreheads, and some of them even fainted!

Seeing the expressions and conditions of these ministers, Wang Mang's heart was filled with joy. He had long wanted to give this group of people a chance to make an example of him, but he never had a chance!

Wang Mang waited until Wang Scholar's voice was no longer heard. He took a glance at Chen Chong, who was standing beside him like an old tree, and said in a clear voice to Chen Chong, "Esteemed Chen, come forward and hear the seal!"

Upon hearing Wang Mang's words, Chen Chong's entire body shuddered, and he hastily knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Wang Mang.

"The fact that Chen Aimin can always observe the rules and regulations is the hallmark of our Great New Kingdom. Today, we have conferred her the title of prime minister, and we have ordered you to thoroughly investigate the matter of the King's disciple. Anyone involved in this matter will be punished with conspiracy!" Now, Wang Mang had directly handed over the life and death situation to Chen Chong to eliminate a bunch of dishonest people for him!

"Your Majesty! This humble subject has something to say! " After Wang Mang issued the decree, Chen Chong did not accept it. Instead, he straightened his body and looked at Wang Mang with a pleading gaze!

"Esteemed Chen, if you have something to say, feel free to say it!" When Wang Mang heard Chen Chong's words, he was somewhat displeased. However, when he saw Chen Chong's expression, Wang Mang restrained the anger in his heart, but his tone was still not very happy!

"This humble subject is already very old, I am afraid that I cannot take on this important task, this humble subject has never seen this person before, I have only heard people talk about him, this person is upright, is able to speak frankly and admonish, and is in charge of matters that are very clear, this person is a capable subject in the world! I hope that Your Majesty will grant me your permission! " After saying this, Chen Chong kowtowed.

"Since it is a recommendation from my beloved official, then I will accept it. Who is this person and who is his surname?" Where is he now? We will immediately send someone to invite him into the capital! " After Wang Mang heard Chen Chong's words, he pondered for a moment before agreeing to this matter. In his opinion, a person who came in from the outside would be even more able to stir up the commotion!

Chen Chong raised his head and thought for a moment before saying, "This person is named Qi Da and is famous for his words. He is now the county governor of Jiangyang County! His mother treated him with filial piety, and he treated him with filial piety as an official! "

After hearing Chen Chong's words, Wang Mang nodded his head and then said in a pleased tone, "I didn't think that this person would actually bring honor and filial piety into the office of an official. I am very happy. "Immediately go to Jiangyang County and summon this person to the capital!"

Wang Mang had always known that there were no fish in Shui Zhiqing, and it was the same in the imperial court as well. Wang Mang had always known that there were no fish in Shui Zhiqing, and it was the same in the imperial court as well.

Since he had a better choice, why wouldn't Wang Mang be willing to recommend an outsider to be his knife? Therefore, he was very happy. In the end, Wang Mang happily gave Chen Chong a jujube and placed Chen Chong's son in Jiangyang County to take over Qi Da's position.

After dealing with these matters, Chen Chong used his frail and sickly body as a reason to return home. Wang Mang had also agreed to this matter and even bestowed some money upon him.

After everyone had left, Wang Mang looked at Chen Chong's back as he left and muttered: "I never thought that after so many years of fighting with your disciple Wang, it would actually be you who won! I feel at ease with you, but not with your disciple! "
