Chapter 552 Zhao Feiyan!
Wang Mang acted quickly and fiercely, eliminating dissidents to advance to the position of prime minister. Once he became prime minister, it became even easier for him to eliminate dissidents.
In the quiet room, Wang Mang and his close allies gathered together, and everyone had an excited look on their faces.
After all, the process of gaining power is too easy. The opponent is full of flaws and vulnerable, while the situation on one's side is very good.
Not only his own side, but even the emperor's diehard supporters began to feel dissatisfied.
Wang Mang, sitting in the first seat, said solemnly, “Having come this far, there is only one last obstacle left.
Once we get over this, we will start a thorough reform.”
The final obstacle?
Everyone suddenly became curious. Who is worthy of being an obstacle to them now?
But when they saw Wang Mang's solemn expression, they immediately thought, who else could it be except the fickle emperor who kept wavering between conservatism and reform?
The Prime Minister wants to take action against the Emperor?
Is it possible to kill the king?
This is no longer the Spring and Autumn Period!
In that era when rituals and music were in decline, there were too many regicides. However, after 200 years of the Han Dynasty, rituals and music were rebuilt, and regicide was no longer something that people dared to think about.
Even though they were all members of Wang Mang's party, this was still intolerable. They would be clearly labeled as regicide in history, and would be infamous for eternity, and would even affect their descendants.
But on second thought, Wang Mang would never do such a thing. Wouldn't he give up his good reputation that was renowned all over the world?
If he continues to follow his current steps, he is destined to go down in history and be on par with King Lowen.
Why bother getting involved in something like regicide?
Although the Han Dynasty was in decline, it was not so declining that no one cared about it. The princes and marquises in Guandong were not so easy to deal with.
If you dare to kill the king, everyone in the world will be your enemy in an instant.
Everyone was just thinking about it when Wang Mang said quietly, "A few days ago, a merchant presented a beautiful girl from Zhao. She is an expert in sex and has a natural talent. She is a rare and famous instrument that can make people reach the peak of bliss and forget about worldly affairs.
His Majesty the Emperor loves beauty, so this stunning beauty was presented to him.
Dress her up as a fairy and then have Wang Cheng present her to Your Majesty.
Your Majesty gets Meiji, and we are not disturbed. This must be the best outcome."
Everyone was a little surprised when they heard this. They didn't expect Wang Mang to have such an idea. Using beauty to tie the emperor down was indeed a good idea. There were too many examples of people getting things done by offering beautiful girls since ancient times.
Don't think that nobles won't be tempted by beauty because they have seen too much beauty. Lust is harmful to the mind. The more lustful you are, the weaker your resistance will be and the easier it will be to be tempted.
Moreover, these people all knew the beautiful girl that Wang Mang was talking about.
Her name was Zhao Feiyan, and she got her name because she was good at dancing. She was indeed stunningly beautiful, fair and delicate, with a slender waist and fingers as thin as onion roots. Her every move was enchanting and her dancing was beautiful.
As for whether possessing a treasure can enable one to reach the pinnacle of bliss, I don’t know about that, after all, I haven’t tried it.
Wang Mang was willing to present it to the emperor. He is truly a saint. He remained unmoved by the beauty before him.
Little did he know that Wang Mang's heart was bleeding. He was a saint, but no one said that a saint could not be fond of beauty. He might never meet a woman like Zhao Feiyan who possessed a treasure again.
But for the sake of the people of the world and for a greater goal, he must make sacrifices. In history, there are too many people who became noble or achieved their political goals by offering beautiful concubines. They are all good examples of his predecessors.
Everyone in the room was very satisfied. No one had thought of usurping the throne, and no one wanted to be charged with regicide.
After they discussed some things, they left one after another, leaving only Wang Cheng.
Seeing the others leave, Wang Cheng immediately asked curiously: "Brother, why did you offer Zhao Feiyan to the emperor? Can the emperor really stop interfering in government affairs because of a woman?"
Wang Mang said calmly, "Of course, an ordinary woman wouldn't do, but Zhao Feiyan is different. Her beauty is unique in the world. With the emperor's debauchery and immorality, if he could get Zhao Feiyan, he would definitely indulge in pleasure every day. There would be no other possibility."
Wang Mang didn't say the second half of his words. He said that lust is the root of all evil. Lust will make people lose their mind, become mentally depressed, and even cause serious physical damage.
Lust is a bone-scraping knife, and Zhao Feiyan is the sharpest and fastest one. When used on a licentious and immoral person like the emperor, it adds three points of power.
She was probably a peerless beauty gifted by God, with alluring charm all over her body. The only ending for a man like the emperor who had no self-control was that he would lose all his energy and energy in the bliss of her flattery and become unable to control himself.
There was a deep chill in Wang Mang's words, as if he saw the emperor indulging in the beautiful dream woven by Zhao Feiyan, or as if he saw the emperor dying on Zhao Feiyan's belly. There was also a deep fear, as if he thought of how he almost lost control, and he quickly recited a few words of the Taoist Qingxin Jue.
Wang Cheng became excited upon hearing this, and immediately stood up and bowed, saying, "Brother, let's go and prepare now. No one will know that she came from your house. Let them guess."
…
A carriage with extremely luxurious decorations slowly moved towards the palace. The entire convoy was quite luxurious. Wang Cheng had a look of regret on his face. "It's a pity to present such a beauty to the emperor. Alas, I really want to ask my brother to give her to me."
In the palace, the current emperor never expected that Wang Cheng would actually present a beauty to him.
Wang Cheng is Wang Mang's man!
The emperor guessed that it was because Wang Cheng had previously volunteered to take on the important task, but was rejected by Wang Mang, so he looked for himself, but he was also rejected. After all, Wang Cheng was Wang Mang's man.
Now that Wang Cheng presented the beauty to Wang Mang, it meant that Wang Mang still did not agree, so Wang Cheng wanted to go his own way. Could it be that there was a rift within Wang Mang's forces?
The emperor guessed the reason. He followed the advice of the imperial physician and abstained from sex for three days. Now his mind was very clear. He found Wang Cheng's behavior of offering beauties ridiculous. "I own the whole world. What kind of beauties have I not seen?
Do you still need to make an offering?
I want to see what kind of beauty can make you so confident and make me pay for a high position in the army comparable to one of the nine ministers!
Although I like beauty, my vision is very high!"
…
"Qing, you are truly my loyal subject!"
The emperor's eyes lit up, and he patted Wang Cheng's shoulder and said loudly: "I will immediately issue an order to promote you to the rank of general. If you are not given more recognition for your loyalty, it will chill the hearts of my subjects."
The emperor had been indulging in sensual pleasures for many years and his body was weak. Wang Cheng was a soldier, so he didn't feel the pain, he was just heartbroken.
Looking at the emperor's ugly appearance, he felt a double pain: the heartache of losing the stunningly beautiful concubine, and the sadness that the emperor of the Han Dynasty could be so debauched and immoral.
In front of the two men, Zhao Feiyan was looking curiously at the magnificent imperial palace, a place she had never dared to even think about.
Unexpectedly, in such a short period of time, she met the prime minister and the emperor successively. From now on, this will be her home.
Zhao Feiyan was slim and extremely charming, like a pool of spring water. Just standing there, she had infinitely moving grace, and exuded a seductive and alluring temperament from her whole body.
Seeing that the emperor was even about to glue his eyes to Zhao Feiyan and his throat was drooling, Wang Cheng sensibly took his leave and left the hall.
When the emperor saw Wang Cheng leaving, he immediately dismissed his attendants, and with a smile on his face, he grabbed Zhao Feiyan's hand and embraced her as he went to the back hall.
Zhao Feiyan struggled a little, then became submissive, but there was a hint of coldness and desolation in her eyes. All men in this world are like this, there is no difference.
I thought of Wang Mang again, the world-famous saint. Even he could not resist his charm, and his final restraint was extremely rare.
"You go to the palace to seduce the tyrant. I will take good care of your family and friends. Once you enter the palace, enjoy yourself. You deserve all the sacrifices you have made for the world."
Thinking this, he entered the rear palace, but saw curtains and gorgeous decorations everywhere. The emperor was a man who loved to enjoy life very much. He was not the kind of person who would love the people at the expense of himself.
Zhao Feiyan pushed the impatient emperor away and said softly, "Your Majesty, in the past, the concubine Wang Ming of the Luo family had a dance called "Swan Dance on the Snow". I also have a dance called "Flying Swallow in the Palm". I would like to show it to you."
Stunning dance on the snow!
The emperor quickly stopped to admire this stunning dance that only existed in books and picture albums.
The musician brought by Zhao Feiyan herself sat in the position of the zither player and sang clear songs with such a gentle and melodious voice that even a dissolute person like the emperor was immersed in it.
Zhao Feiyan danced around the emperor, as light as a flying swallow, as if she had no weight at all and was really floating in the air.
Perhaps it was because her clothes slipped off while she was dancing, revealing her white and tender shoulders, which were shining like juicy fruits, making people want to suck them, and her already thin clothes slipped off piece by piece.
The veil is graceful, and the jade body is looming.
As Zhao Feiyan danced, her clothes fell all around the emperor. The emperor could smell the fragrance in his nose. He reached out and grabbed it, only to find that what he grabbed was a small piece of clothing. The beauty in front of him was only wearing a bellyband, and her eyes were watery, like a wave of spring water, flowing and captivating.
Her whole body is snow-white with almost no flaws. She is slender but not sickly. She looks delicate, with a slender waist and crystal clear feet. She is truly an exquisite and beautiful woman who is beyond compare.
Even if Mo Xi were alive or Daji was resurrected, it would be just like this!
The emperor could no longer bear it, and rushed forward, hugging Zhao Feiyan and falling on the imperial bed. Zhao Feiyan's slender and well-proportioned jade feet were delicate, and with a light hook, the curtains fell down.
Still brightly lit!
————
Zhao Feiyan's original name was Yizhu. Her father was good at music. Yizhu was very smart when she was young. She grew up slender and light, so she was able to dance like a flying swallow in the palm of her hand, and thus she was named Feiyan.
At that time, the whole country was exhausted and Feiyan's family was in decline. She wandered around Chang'an and came into the hands of Wang Mang. She was presented to the emperor in a divine title. Feiyan was beautiful and had a voluptuous body. She was the most favored concubine in the harem. The emperor preferred Feiyan and abandoned the other concubines and the empress. - "The Biography of Zhao Feiyan"
