A person can disguise for a while, but not for a lifetime. If someone can really disguise himself, who can tell his authenticity?

Wang Mang is such a person, you can't distinguish the truth from the false, as Bai Juyi said in the poem: "Zhou Gong is afraid of rumors, and Wang Mang is humble and has not usurped the time." Xiang Xiang died at the beginning, and who knows the truth of his life. ”

The new dynasty, like other short-lived dynasties, was not evaluated positively in the history books, and Wang Mang himself was nailed to the pillar of shame in history. For this mysterious person, Wang An is really curious. Wang An believes that he can get a glimpse of his true face and solve his childhood doubts.

Thinking about it, Wang An got up and prepared to get the information, and continued his exploration of Wang Mang's road, but there was a book under his feet that stepped on it, and the book slipped, and his chair was on wheels, Wang An ran away with both hands on the chair, "" Wang An shouted, knocked on the corner of the table, and then lost consciousness.

At the end of the first year of the reign (8 A.D.)

As the sun sets, in the ancient Chang'an City, the flow of people on the major streets is bleak, and there is a feeling of twilight.

It is said that there are fortunate things in the world in September, but for some reason, the weather is getting colder and colder, and it is also a cold wind gusting and cutting people's faces.

A gust of cold wind blew, making the pedestrians walking with their heads bowed on the streets of Chang'an City tighten their necklines, and made their originally listless heads sober up a little, and quickened their pace to go home.

The last rays of the sunset shine obliquely on the black glazed tiles, shining brightly.

A young man sat in a pavilion, holding a glazed tile in his hand, squinting his eyes, observing the mansion in front of him, his eyes revealing a burst of doubt.

The splendid mansion occasionally flickered against the backdrop of the setting sun, but it looked desolate and solemn.

"Your Highness, have some food"

In the distance, there were several eunuchs in Hanfu standing and shouting, and they were anxiously inviting the young man sitting in the pavilion to come.

The boy continued to play with the glazed tiles in his hand, ignoring them, just quietly looking into the distance, thinking about his future plans.

His name is Wang An, is the third son of Emperor Wang Mang, he is 14 years old this year, is 6 BC, Wang Mang lived in seclusion in Xindu and filial piety Empress Wang Jingyan was born, three years ago he was reborn, his eldest brother Wang Yu and the second brother Wang Shu as the protagonist of two major events self-cut.

For coming to the first five years of Emperor Hanping, Wang An was more surprised at first, because he actually crossed, he thought it was a dream, until the next day, he found that it had not changed, and he dreamed during sleep, he felt frightened, until he slowly accepted it.

Although he likes the history of the new dynasty, it doesn't mean that he wants to come, he thought there was a golden finger, but it has been 3 years, and there is no golden finger.

After Wang An's investigation and research, Wang An in history was not an incurable disease, but anorexia, simply starving himself and malnutrition, so he died.

Wang An is quite happy, because in history, Wang Mang has a total of six sons, and the birth of the first four sons is not recorded in a document, and there may be records in the wild history, but Wang An did not find it, only Wang Xing, Wang Kuang has a record, Wang Xing, Wang Kuang are two generals, crusading against Liu Xiu and dying in battle.

Wang An thought that it was the end of the first year of Ju Se, and he was a little worried, and his head was clouded, because after all, there were too many things that happened this year, and it was a turning point in history.

In the first year of Ju Se, Wang Mang's power in the court was in full swing, almost equal to that of the emperor, but it was this family that was dominant and caused a backlash from the opposition dominated by the Liu clan.

First of all, Liu Zhen, the Marquis of Anzhong, made a difficulty, Liu Zhen led more than 100 people to attack Wancheng, but failed without even attacking the city gate.

In September of the second year (7 A.D.), Dongjun Taishou Zhai rebelled and established Liu Xin, the Marquis of Yanxiang, as the emperor, and notified all localities that Zhao Ming, the "thief" of 23 counties west of Chang'an, also rebelled.

As a result, Wang Mang was very frightened, and he couldn't eat, so he prayed and prayed in the temple every day with his children in his arms, and wrote an article imitating the "Great Message", informing all places, saying that his throne was temporary, and he must return the throne to his children in the future.

At the same time, Wang Mang constantly mobilized a large army to suppress and destroy Zhai Yi's troops. In the second year, Wang Mang sent his younger brother Wang Yi to quell the rebellion, and it was at this time that Wang Mang had the heart of becoming the emperor and was pushed to the position of emperor by the clan, major officials and ordinary people.

In fact, to this point, Wang Mang in addition to a bad start, but now is an absolute good hand, it can be said that a hand of Wang Bang, can play spring, is such a good hand, I don't know how Wang Mang played the card, so that Liu Xiu almost anti-spring, if not for his son Wang Jie, Wang Kuang, and Wang clan, he may have fallen faster.

That is, Liu Xiu should be sent to the palace this year, Liu Xiu is the descendant of Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty, according to the family disc spectrum, he is the same generation as Emperor Cheng of the Han Dynasty. In order to declare the legitimacy of sovereignty, Liu Xiu passed himself to Emperor Yuan of the Han Dynasty as his son, and then Wang Mang and Liu Xiu turned out to be cousins without blood!

The similarities between these "cousins", who are forty years old and have never met, are like twin brothers. For example, both of them ascended to the throne as a Confucian scholar; They were committed to reforming a series of social ills, such as land annexation and slavery; They all have the demeanor of noble and generous elders.

Even their flaws are the same, Wang Mang believes in the prophecy, ascends the throne by means of prophecy, and appoints ministers to listen to the "will of heaven". Liu Xiu is the same, he will not ascend the throne without "Chifu Fu" to be killed, and the third prince must find the answer from "Chifu Fu".

Wang Mang made a "compound year name", "Shi Jianguo" plus "change year name" (Shi Jianguo Tianfeng, Shi Jianguo Dihuang), Liu Xiu also learned from Wang Mang, and came to a "Jianwu" plus "change year" (Jianwu Zhongyuan), which became the only two special cases in history!

Liu Xiu shouted "Wang Mang usurped the Han", but in fact, his political line is completely according to Wang Mang! even said that in Liu Xiu's mind, Wang Mang is his idol!

Later generations were misled by the history books, saying that Wang Mang was hypocritical, Wang Mang was morally corrupt, and Wang Mang lost the hearts of the people, all of which were political propaganda by literati and doctors!

Including Liu Xiu, no matter how much he admires Wang Mang, he will not hesitate to trample Wang Mang under his feet, but this does not represent his inner world, let alone the truth of history!

Wang Mang fought alone, without the support of a strong political force, while Liu Xiu found a backer - the wealthy group of scholars!

It's not that Wang Mang is blind, but that he is already in the "blank season of history", and his mission is to be the "midwife" of the wealthy family!
