Chapter 136: Usurpation

If you want to say that Wang Mang is this person, he can definitely be regarded as the number one person!

Wang Mang was born in the fourth year of the early Han Dynasty, and his aunt was Wang Zhengjun, the queen of Xiaoyuan.

The Wang family was a family of relatives who leaned towards the government and the opposition at that time, and there were nine people who were feudal marquis and five people who served as great horses.

The people in the clan live a luxurious life, with a lustful voice and horses, but Wang Mang is the only one who is pure and lives a simple life.

At that time, Wang Mang almost became a moral model in society and soon became famous.

Wang Mang entered the center at the age of twenty-four and began to be an official, and since then he has been steadily rising all the way and began his journey against the sky.

At the age of thirty, he was named the new marquis, the captain of the cavalry, and the doctor of Guanglu.

At the age of thirty-eight, he was recommended by Wang Gen, became the emperor, and became the Great Sima, a very popular minister.

At the age of forty-five, he was in charge of military orders and forbidden armies, and the hundred official books were also handled by him, and he became the most powerful person in the Han Dynasty, and there was no one!

After that, the Empress Dowager gave Wang Mang the title of Duke of An Han.

This was the first courtier with a foreign surname in the Han Dynasty to claim the title of duke, and it was also the beginning of Wang Mang's usurpation of the Han Dynasty.

From being called the prince to being the emperor, Wang Mang only took eight years, and after being the emperor for fifteen years, he was attacked by the Green Forest Army into Chang'an, and his head was beheaded and hung in the city.

……

Some people say that Wang Mang is an out-and-out hypocrite who seeks to usurp the throne.

However, Mr. Lu Xun said that the evaluation of characters in many history books is unreliable. In all dynasties, the commentators were all from their own dynasties, and most of the emperors of their own dynasties sang praises of virtue; If the reign is short, the emperor of that dynasty can easily be relegated to a "tyrant" because the commentator is a person from another dynasty.

Regarding Wang Mang's evaluation, the reputation is mixed and mixed.

But his title to the public did become the first stepping stone for the usurper.

Now it is rumored that Cao Cao has the heart to be a prince, and even the capital has been set in Yecheng.

This is reminiscent of the former Wang Mang.

……

Jiang Feng knew that in history, Cao Cao did call the Duke of Wei, and even called the King of Wei.

However, that was in 213 A.D., after the pacification of Xiliang, there are still five years to go!

But Jiang Feng thought about it again, it is not impossible for Cao Cao to be the prince now.

In history, Cao Cao experienced a great defeat in the Battle of Chibi, and later pacified Xiliang, only to regain the hearts of the people, and then proclaimed the title.

And now, the Battle of Chibi has not yet broken out, and Cao Cao's southern expedition swept Jingzhou without defeat; Therefore, it is not impossible to claim the title five years earlier than in history.

After Cao Cao became prime minister, he had already taken over power.

The Manchu Dynasty was civil and military, and most of them supported him to claim the title of duke.

As for the opposition, the momentum is weak, and only Xun Yu has clearly expressed his opposition.

Xun Yu was a man loyal to the Han family, not to Cao Cao.

Because of this, Xun Yu was suspicious and dismissed by Cao Cao, and was finally given to drink poisoned wine and died.

……

Jiang Feng reviewed the history for a moment, and then combined it with the present.

The purpose of Xun Yu's trip is obvious.

He wants to unite himself and oppose Cao Cao's proclamation together!

……

Seeing that Jiang Feng didn't speak or express his position for a long time, Xun Yu sighed, got up and said, "It seems that I have found the wrong person below, Lord Jiang, please drink yourself, please forgive Xun for being rude." ”

Jiang Feng thought so in his heart, Cao Cao said that he was not a prince and had no relationship with himself.

However, if you can use this to win over Xun Yu's forces, it will be of great benefit!

Today's Xu Du, he and Xun Yu are in charge of almost all political affairs, but the city defenders and the Praetorian Guards are controlled by Cao Zhi and his cronies.

This is also the biggest obstacle preventing Jiang Feng from leaving Xu Du!

However, if he can join forces with Xun Yu, he may not have the ability to break his wrist with Cao Zhi.

Once Cao Zhi is overthrown, this huge Xu Capital City, he doesn't come and leave when he wants to!

By the time Cao Cao came back, he would have already taken his wives out of the sea of suffering!

As for leaving Xu Du, Jiang Feng also had a preliminary plan.

Go to Xiangyang, unite with his old subordinate Wang Wei, and overthrow Cao Chun and Cao Zhen together.

Then, with Xiangyang as the base camp, he gradually occupied Jingzhou, and even sought to capture Liu Zhang's Yizhou.

Liu Bei in history, after the Battle of Chibi, developed and grew step by step.

Jiang Feng has historical endorsement, and believes that as long as Xiangyang is successfully taken, the rest should be a matter of course.

At least, it was also to replace Liu Bei and become a member of the three-legged tripod.

As for whether Wei and Wu can be defeated and unification can be realized, that is a matter of later, and it is still too early to say.

……

Thinking of this, Jiang Feng hurriedly called out to Xun Yu and said, "Lord Xun stays!" ”

Xun Yu stopped and turned around, and said, "What else is going on with Lord Jiang?" ”

Jiang Feng said: "I am the same as Lord Xun, loyal to the Han family, loyal to Sheji, if Lord Xun has any orders, Jiang will never give up!" ”

Xun Yu was overjoyed, sat back down, and said, "I know that the white dragon is by no means comparable to those who tend to be inflammatory!" With the words of Lord Jiang, Xun has no regrets even if he dies! ”

At that moment, the two of them resumed drinking and chatting and began to study how to prevent Cao Cao from becoming a prince.

The two broke the skylight and said brightly, and they had a very happy meal, and Xun Yu didn't leave until it was late.

At this time, Atiya and Xiao Qiao had already returned to Jiangfu.

Only Cai Wenji is still in the restaurant.

Seeing that Jiang Feng was not drinking lightly, Cai Wenji took the clothes to help Jiang Feng put them on, and said, "Husband, if you take the liberty of preventing the prime minister, I am afraid that you will attract suspicion!" Lord Xun's move is playing with fire! ”

Jiang Feng nodded and said, "What Madame said is extremely true!" ”

Although Cai Wenji is nominally Jiang Feng's concubine, Jiang Feng respects this talented woman very much, and has always called her "Mrs." before and after marriage.

Cai Wenji said curiously: "Then you still promised him?" ”

Jiang Feng said: "Now that the prime minister is gone, it is a good time for us to leave. But the army of Xudu is all controlled by Cao Zhi's family, and if we want to leave, we must use the power of Xun Yu to fight against Cao Zhi. ”

Cai Wenji frowned and said, "Do you have to leave?" ”

Among Jiang Feng's wives, Cai Wenji is different from the others.

The relationship between the Cai family and the Cao family has always been good, so although Cai Wenji is married to Jiang Feng, she has always had reservations about betraying Cao Cao.

Of course, marrying a chicken with a chicken, marrying a dog with a dog, since the husband has made a decision, Cai Wenji will of course give her full support and help.

Jiang Feng said: "Madam, if I don't leave, the day when the world will be unified will be the time when you and I will be separated by yin and yang!" ”

Of course, Cai Wenji knew the truth of "the cunning rabbit dies, and the lackey cooks", but she just felt that even if Jiang Feng was taking precautions, he would inevitably take precautions too early.

But Cai Wenji knew that Jiang Feng was determined to leave.

Not to mention anything else, just because of Zhen Mi, he won't stay here for long.

So Cai Wenji didn't persuade anything, and said: "If the husband is bent on leaving, the concubine has a plan!" ”

Jiang Feng was surprised, hugged her and said, "Madam, come and listen!" ”

Cai Wenji said: "When my father was alive, there was a powerful protΓ©gΓ© named Zou Kai. This person is currently the general of the Yulin Army, commanding the Yulin Army, if he finds this person's help, it may work! ”

Hearing this, Jiang Feng was overjoyed.

He was worried about how to find a breakthrough from the army, and now Cai Wenji pointed out a clear path for himself.

Jiang Feng said: "In that case, how about we go to see him together tomorrow?" ”

Cai Wenji said: "The concubine is all obeyed by her husband." ”

Jiang Feng pressed against Cai Wenji's cheek and said softly: "It's still my family's Yan'er who is powerful, tonight my husband has a lot of rewards, and I will spoil you alone!" Recommended reading: "Reading Files 2013"
