"There are a few confidants in the world, how many friendships can last forever, today parting with you and shaking hands, friendship is always in your heart, today and there is a temporary farewell, he will be able to get together, even if you can't meet, you are always friends, saying that there are thousands of miles of mountains, blocking the two places, no need to meet, and you also know in your heart that friendship can't be changed." It's still the lawn, it's still the blue sky, Liu Xiu helped the family finish the farm work, lay down by the river and hum a song, after the last heart-to-heart talk, the family no longer thinks that Liu Xiu is crazy, but thinks that he is because of the death of his father Liu Qin, which caused a great change in personality.

The news of this era is all by posting notices or word of mouth, although Liu Xiu is not particularly clear about a lot of big information about the Western Han Dynasty, but he also knows that there is a minister in this era who is particularly bullish.

This person's surname is Wang, and his name is Mang, and the word Jujun. Ten years ago, because of the prosperity of other families, the Wang family was torn apart, surrendered and retreated, and Wang Mang retired to the new capital, and was cautious.

I thought everything was like this, who knew that Wang Mang's second son Wang was framed and died, because he couldn't save his son, Wang Mang, who was nearly 40 years old, sat alone in the rain and cried loudly, and the children of the family were all sad and angry.

Suddenly, one day, an excellent son in the family was framed, he was unwilling, and he wanted to frame his person to bury him in the future.

On this day, this excellent disciple knelt outside Wang Mang's house, shouting loudly that he knew that he was wrong, hoping that his uncle Wang Mang could forgive him, he was still young and didn't want to die, but this was just a scene, and then this excellent kid committed suicide outside Wang Mang's house.

After that, all the children of the Wang family who were resentful and made mistakes would choose to commit suicide outside Wang Mang's house, raising Wang Mang's impartial image to the extreme, perhaps because of this, Wang Mang was depressed all day long and finally left, and the miraculous thing happened at this time, Wang Mang died, but his body was received by a reporter from a county town in the early years of New China.

After the initial panic, this civil servant quickly accepted his new identity, because of the work attributes of his previous life, this Wang Mang is very good at playing public opinion.

With the precipitation, many officials and civilians began to complain about Wang Mang's dismissal.

Seeing that public opinion was getting stronger and stronger, Emperor Han Ai didn't want to be upset, so he re-recruited Wang Mang to return to the imperial city of Chang'an to serve the queen mother, but he did not restore his official position.

The traverser Wang Mang returned to the Imperial City of Chang'an, and chose to endure the humiliation, which also happened to match the opportunity to give the sentence to those who are prepared, he quietly deployed certain things, and trembled every step he took.

Ten years as a day, Wang Mang's efforts in exchange for rich rewards, he became the Great Sima, Lu Shang Shushi, in charge of military orders and forbidden armies, and even supported the nine-year-old Emperor Ping of Han to ascend the throne to consolidate his position.

With the support of the little emperor, Wang Mang began to arrange the structure of the court, he first forced away his uncle Wang Li, who had conflicting opinions with him, and then took the initiative to tie up with the famous Confucian scholar Situ Kongguang at that time, using his influence to build momentum for himself, and gradually excluding dissidents, and those who had persecuted the Wang family were all wiped out.

Former General He Wu, Zuo General Gongsun Lu, Zhongtai Servant Shi Li, Nanjun Taishou Wu Jianglong, Taishan Taishou Ding Xuan, Hanoi Taishou Zhao Chang, Gaochang Marquis Dong Wu, Guannei Marquis Zhang You and other high-ranking officials and marquis have been dismissed. At the same time, Wang Mangsheng himself served as the Taifu for An Hangong, Kong Guang became the Taishi, his cousin Wang Shun became the Taibao, and his confidant Zhen Feng became the young master. In addition to the four auxiliary positions, other important positions were also controlled by Wang Mang, Dasikong Wang Yi was his cousin, Da Sima Wang Xun was a confidant, his son-in-law Zhen Han was in charge of picketing impeachment, and Ping Yan managed the affairs.

The current Wang Mang has a monopoly on power, and in addition to being knighted, the rights are almost equal to those of the emperor.

The arrangement of the court has been completed, Wang Mang began to gain the support of the people and the scholars, he first rewarded the princes and the descendants of the heroes, and then rewarded the officials at all levels, and finally replaced the emperor to implement the favor policy, so that the people and the lonely old people can get the benefits, and took the lead in donating, in order to cater to Wang Mang have learned from him to donate and raise funds, and for a time Wang Mang's reputation among the people was pushed to the extreme.

In 2 A.D., there was a severe drought in the whole country, accompanied by a locust plague, and the people of Qingzhou, who were the most severely affected, went into exile.

Wang Mang immediately led 230 officials and citizens to donate land and houses to relieve the victims, and even asked Emperor Ping of Han to reduce the tax in Qingzhou and revoke the royal Huchiyuan in Anding County and change it to Anmin County to resettle the victims.

All these changes, Wang Mang is not satisfied, he also built a thousand houses in Chang'an City, used to resettle the victims, under the general trend, no one thought that this is a political achievement project that costs the people and money, you don't see the distance between Qingzhou and Sizhou, which is equivalent to the distance between modern Shandong and Shaanxi?

The stand-alone game was supposed to be a good game, but Emperor Han Ping's wife had signs of rising in his family, Wang Mang made a big move, and the entire Wei family was disabled in one round, and even sealed Emperor Hanping's mother Wei and her family to Zhongshan Kingdom, prohibiting them from returning to the Chang'an Imperial City.

Wang Mang's eldest son, Wang Yu, was afraid that Emperor Hanping would take revenge when he became an adult, so he secretly went to his teacher Wu Zhang to discuss, and even teamed up with his wife's uncle Lu Kuan to spread blood and wine on the door, and used superstitious methods to persuade Wang Mang to return power to Emperor Hanping.

Wang Mang watched this big dragon and phoenix at home, he was angry, and he pulled out a knife on the spot and chopped Wu Zhang and Lu Kuan, as for the eldest son Wang Yu, that was the species of the ancients Wang Mang, and it had nothing to do with the current Wang Mang.

That night, Wang Mang was angry, decided to give Emperor Han Ping a little color to see, he summoned the forces to come to the house to discuss, in the morning of the next day, Liang Wang Liu Li and the princess Jingwu who came behind the court and Wang Mang's forces quarreled upside down, but this is useless, Wang Mang has already prepared countermeasures, directly forced the two of them to die in the main hall, and the Wei clan people in Qingzhou also suffered a great disaster, a large number of dead and wounded.

In order to eliminate the negative impact, Wang Mang let people publicize this matter as Wang Mang's feat of "destroying relatives with righteousness and forgetting selfishness", and even wrote praise articles and distributed them everywhere, so that officials and ordinary people could recite these articles, and then register them in the court archives, and teach the world as "The Book of Filial Piety".

Compared with Liu Xiu, a traveler who has only been here for a long time, his predecessor Wang Mang has already controlled the entire country, and made full use of the weakness of inconvenient communication in this era, starting from all aspects to sacralize himself, for example, every student must have a copy of Wang Mang's quotations in his hand, and if he wants to be an official, he must first accept his concept of Wang Mang.

When Emperor Han Ping was thirteen years old, he had been completely set aside by Wang Mang, if Emperor Han Ping didn't have any ideas, it would be a complete lie, otherwise Wang Mang's eldest son would not be afraid of retaliation.
