When Wang Mang said this, everyone at the banquet, including his heirs and cronies, was stunned.

Poison?!

Even if you poison him, you should poison Liu Xiu and his men, what's the matter with you poisoning your own people?!

Just when everyone thought that Wang Mang was joking, Wang Mang said unhurriedly that he had long known that his faction and Liu Xiu's faction could not get along.

In order to prevent the reform from stalling because of this, Wang Mang decided to sacrifice himself and hand over the power of the entire court to Liu Xiu, just hoping that Liu Xiu would continue to carry out the reform.

Because Wang Mang's bottle of poisoned wine poisoned the backbone of his entire faction, some of the remaining ministers in charge of reform had no strength and reason even if they wanted to rebel.

Therefore, Liu Xiu can continue to use these people with confidence.

After Chen Qing's pros and cons, Wang Mang bowed down to Liu Xiu's cronies amid the curses of his own heirs and some cronies, hoping that these people would not crowd out the reform ministers he left behind after his death, and let the cause of reform continue.

In this case, even those who were suspicious of Wang Mang felt from his act of begging for death that Wang Mang had no desire for power at all, and all he wanted was the success of the reform.

After Wang Mang finished saying his wish, he vomited blood and died in Liu Xiu's arms not long after.

And with Wang Mang's death, the ministers who were toasted by Wang Mang also died one by one, and the core force of the entire Wang Mang faction was completely killed in this banquet.

And the remaining Wang Mang's cronies are either indisputable in character or the backbone of reform. After Wang Mang's death, these people were immediately relied on by Liu Xiu as cronies, and Liu Xiu's behavior not only did not get the opposition of the original cronies, but also received the support of most people.

At that time, the literati of the government and the opposition no longer mentioned the old matter of Wang Mang's usurpation of the Han Dynasty. On the contrary, he has always believed that Wang Mangzu can be compared with the saints of ancient times.

At this point, the factional dispute that originally plagued Wang Mang and Liu Xiu was completely eliminated with Wang Mang's death.

In order to commemorate Wang Mang, the Yuan Shi chronology invented by Wang Mang has also been retained and used by successive dynasties.

(In the second year of Yuanshou, Emperor Han Ai died, Wang Mang supported Emperor Han Ping, and the first era name designed for Emperor Han Ping was the first year of the Yuan Dynasty, and that year was also the first year of the Common Era.) ）

I didn't expect Wang Mang to even come up with the chronology method.

Yu Xunze looked at the Yuan Shi era method used in historical materials, and was a little pleased.

In modern times, China has used the Western Gregorian calendar, and the first year of the Common Era is also the year of Jesus' birth.

The main reason for this is that Western culture has occupied the mainstream in the world, so the country has to use the name A.D. for convenience.

However, in the original historical records before Wang Mang first came to Xunze, the year of the first year of the Common Era also happened to be the year when Wang Mang supported Emperor Ping of Han. At that time, Emperor Ping of the Han Dynasty was only nine years old, so all major affairs of the court and the opposition were decided by Wang Mang.

So Wang Mang was like a traveler, and set this year as the first year of the Yuan Dynasty, which was the same year as the first year of the Common Era.

Later, Wang Mang came to Xunze, and after learning about the Gregorian calendar chronology, he went back and improved the Yuan Shi chronology method, making it a very perfect chronological method like the Common Era.

Because Wang Mang committed suicide, both inside and outside the government and the opposition were shocked by Wang Mang's character like an ancient sage, and continued to use the Yuan Shi chronology method he invented as a chronology method different from the era name.

After entering the modern era, people found that Wang Mang's Yuan Shi Chronology and the Common Era were almost identical, so they abandoned the era name and officially used the Yuan Shi Chronology method.

Wang Mang really chose this step.

After reading all the records about Wang Mang, Xun Ze couldn't help but sigh.

This is indeed the best way to resolve the conflict.

He took some of his cronies to die, which not only allowed Liu Xiu to completely take over the power, but also made Liu Xiu's subordinates no longer embarrassed Wang Mang's old department.

After all, everyone committed suicide in order to avoid political fighting, and in that era when everyone still wanted to lose face, who would dare to continue to fight for their own selfish desires in the face of the world's condemnation.

And Wang Mang specially poisoned all his cronies in charge of the army at the banquet, so even if Wang Mang's old department wanted to rebel, they did not have the corresponding strength.

What's more, as soon as Wang Mang died, it was equivalent to adding a gold medal to all of them to avoid death, as long as they didn't make the mistake of rebellion, no one would punish them.

In order to commemorate Wang Mang, Liu Xiu also knighted Wang Mang's daughter, and let the children of one of the daughters change their surname to Wang and inherit the Wang family.

This is also the reason why Wang Yiyi's ancestors dared to pretend to be Wang Mang's descendants.

After reading Wang Mang, Xun Ze felt a little sad. But he still typed Shangguan Wan'er's name in the search column, wanting to see if Shangguan Wan'er had changed her life against the sky this time.

The answer, of course, is, no.

Even Shangguan Wan'er's personal charm is huge. But Li Longji was also a hero when he was young. How could it be possible to allow this woman who manipulated power to survive the coup d'état and join forces with Princess Taiping to deal with herself.

So even though Shangguan Wan'er reacted in time this time, dissociated herself from Empress Wei before the coup began, and went to find the refuge of Princess Taiping on the day the coup began, Li Longji, who had made up his mind, still sent someone to ambush Shangguan Wan'er, and then executed Shangguan Wan'er on the spot.

So this time Shangguan Wan'er did not succeed. I just don't know if these two women will be able to join forces to overthrow Li Longji after Princess Taiping also comes next week.

On Sunday afternoon, Big Meow arrived on time with the students.

"Teacher, this is Her Royal Highness Princess Taiping. ”

After Shangguan Wan'er found out that Princess Taiping was also here this time, she was a little excited to introduce Princess Taiping to Xunze.

"Student Li Lingyue has seen the teacher. ”

Although Princess Taiping is only one year younger than Shangguan Wan'er, and the age of Xun Ze who came this time is also fifteen years old. But because Princess Taiping hadn't read her own life, she didn't know what kind of revolutionary friendship she and Shangguan Wan'er would have in the future.

So she didn't let Shangguan Wan'er continue to introduce her identity on her behalf, but crossed over Shangguan Wan'er and introduced herself to Xun Ze Xingli.

This chest is not right A, why is it called Princess Taiping.

Called Xun Ze subconsciously glanced at Princess Taiping's chest, and then adjusted his gaze to a normal state while others didn't notice it.

"Hmm. This is the first time I've had a princess student. ”

called Xun Ze jokingly said to Princess Taiping,

"It's a bit of a surprise. ”

"It is also an honor for Princess Ben to study with her teacher. ”

Note: Princesses in the Tang Dynasty generally do not call themselves princesses or palaces or anything like that. But that's what it's called here for convenience.
