Chapter Ninety-Five: The Imperial Family [2]
Since ancient times, kings have been lucky, and they are the most ruthless emperors.
Two sentences, but fourteen characters are all-encompassing, and every word is beautiful, which may be the greatness of the Chinese language.
Why did the crown prince Wang Lin kill Wang Zong? The main reason is still the fear of the power in his hands!
The military system of the new dynasty inherited the position of twelve generals in the Western Han Dynasty, namely General Wuwei, General Xiangwei, General Huben, General Disgusted, General Zhu, General Zhu, General Zhendi, General Pingdi, General Dinghu, General Zhenwu, General Fenwu, General Zhenyuan, these twelve people hold the festival to divide the world, each general has five commanders in the front, rear, left, right, and middle, a total of 60 people, counting the generals, collectively referred to as "seventy-two members of the five generals, handsome", each commander has a partial general, General Pi 15 people, 25,000 soldiers, A total of 1.8 million troops, but since Wang Mang became emperor, he likes to toss, this year's political changes, next year's military reform, Wang Mang, who is extremely inflated, regards himself as an omnipotent god. He first centralized the power of the division under the central government, and handed over the military power to the commander of miscellaneous generals such as Gengshi, Si Ming, Nayan, and Zhizong, and then appointed Si Ming Junzheng (military supervisor), who was clearly an assistant and actually a supervisor. The 12th National Congress of the Communist Party of China was disheartened, and the resignation of officials and the chaos of life were chaotic, and the strength of the 1.8 million state capital was reduced to 300,000.
Miscellaneous generals lead the right to troops, there is a problem of unjustifiable words, but Wang Mang is the emperor, even if it is not smooth, he can give you a smooth, he directly set up the front, rear, left, right, and middle five big Simas, and merged the twelve generals into it, which directly caused the remaining twelve generals to resign directly and chose not to play.
Iron battalions, flowing soldiers. The 12 generals don't play anymore, but some people are willing to play. Wang Mang tossed the military reform plan to the death, and his descendants tried every means to stuff their own people into these jobs. If others dare to do this, Wang Mang will definitely kill him, but his children and grandchildren want some power, and Wang Mang will turn a blind eye, but this attitude has caused the relationship between his children and grandchildren to deteriorate more and more. Wang Zong's death was because he was the only official among the descendants of the Wang family who worshiped Da Sima and was actually in charge of the military. The status of the crown prince has deteriorated in recent years, and if he wants to keep the crown prince's position, he must kill relatives who are better than him.
People don't destroy the heavens and the earth for themselves, the crown prince Wang is about to do the first day of the new year, and the newly moved king Wang An will do the fifteenth, and his revenge will come quickly and ruthlessly.
Since Wang Mang's reform, due to the emptiness of the treasury, the national officials have been suspended, and the treasury is slightly richer, and it has been issued for so many months, but due to natural disasters, it has been forced to reduce the national officials' salaries. Officials can't survive, so they use their power to make profits, not to mention the county guard, even the county commander's family can fish out tens of thousands of five baht, and some officials who don't want to die as long as they want money are united with local wealthy families to open mines and mint money.
No matter how big the cheese of the new dynasty is, no one can touch it without the promise of the emperor. A roster of officials under the crown prince's name and several piles of physical evidence directly triggered an earthquake in the officialdom, and Wang Mang set up a piracy anti-corruption bureau, and sent 55 Zhonglang generals and 55 embroidered law enforcement officers to rush around the country to review corruption cases and mobilize local officials to sue slaves and maids to denounce their superiors and masters. Not to be outdone, the crown prince fought back with all his might, and there were so many people who broke the law that they could not carry out the death penalty, so they could only kill chickens and monkeys. Those who were charged with the most serious crimes were sentenced to death, and their wives and children were taken into slaves and maids of the government, and those who were charged with minor crimes were confiscated four-fifths of all the family's property to replenish the state treasury.
It is a sin to kill one man, and a king to slaughter ten thousand. For the first time, officials across the country paid attention to this new king Wang An, who was confused in the eyes of the world. Wang An's methods are so ruthless and faceless, without the crown prince coming forward again, many officials have joined forces in private to take revenge on Wang An, but Wang An dares to make a move, which means that he has prepared everything, and the two sides have been fighting back and forth for several months, and many people watching the fire from the other side believe that this battle will not end. Who knew that in July of this year, a major event that shocked the whole country made the officials of the whole country shudder, and they pondered whether they had offended Wang An, the new king, and if so, they needed to remedy it quickly.
What kind of thing can reach such a level of national shock? That is, the crown prince Wang Lin was deposed and demoted to the king of Tongyiyang!
Wang Mang is convinced that Tu Yuzhi said, this thing that is known to the whole country, but the person who can play Tu Yuzhi to the gods, Wang An admits that no one dares to admit the first, because he has suffered this loss before and failed to become the crown prince. Resentment turned into motivation, Wang An studied hard to learn the essence of the prophecy, if it wasn't for the unjust death of his nephew Wang Zong, he would not have taken the risk of calculating his father Wang Mang.
In those days, Wang An watched the sky at night, calculated the time, and quietly arranged many objects, and even caused the thunder to split the side hall of Weiyang Palace in the torrential rain and wind, and even the big tree in front of the palace was destroyed miserably. Wang Mang was so frightened by this that he stared at the many objects and thought about them for ten days before he was relieved of his confusion. It turned out that the heavens resented him for not standing up, which would lead to discord between the yin and yang of the country, the reduction of food, the rebellion of the barbarians, the treachery of thieves and evils, and the panic of the people.
In the twentieth year of A.D., the imperial family was surging, and the officials of the whole country had no intention of taking care of internal affairs, and they visited and collected information one after another, so as not to stand on the wrong side and lead to a catastrophe. Since the crown prince Wang Lin was demoted to the king of Tongyiyang, he attached great importance to his brother Wang An for the first time, but Wang An never took Wang Lin in his eyes, or Wang Lin was already a corpse in his eyes.
Sure enough, all of Wang Lin's actions were in Wang An's calculations, Wang Lin wanted to find a breakthrough from his mother after a few months of lurking, and he secretly handed over a letter to his mother through his concubine Yuan Bi, and the content of his heart was all about his worries and fears, because the eldest brother and the second brother died at the age of thirty, and he happened to be thirty years old this year, and it is unclear whether he will die.
Queen Xiaomu has been crying blind because of the death of her eldest son and second son, and has been seriously ill, she can live is dependent on the support of the national medical treatment, the imperial doctor told the queen not to be stimulated, but Wang Lin's letter directly made the queen's condition out of control, and returned to heaven and surgery. No matter how stupid Wang Lin is, he understands that he has caused a heinous crime, he told Yuan Bi not to reveal himself, but Wang An has already arranged it, Wang Mang learned the cause of his wife's death, and learned that the concubine Yuan Bi was still having an affair with his son, and he was furious.
In the first month of 21 A.D., Empress Xiaomu died of illness, in the queen's burial hall, Wang Lin as a son was disqualified to attend, Yuan Bi was even detained in the prison and suffered a lot before the adultery and the planned murder of Wang Mang were revealed, Wang Mang ordered to force Yuan Bi to be ordered to ask Yuan Bi all the officials and subordinate officials to be executed, and Wang Lin was also given death in the crying heaven and the earth.
Why did Yuan Bi frame Wang Lin, it was because Wang An had secretly let people control her entire clan, and if she made a mistake, the whole clan would be buried together. It wasn't until she was dying that Yuan Bi understood that with her intelligence, even if she was lucky enough to be a concubine, she wouldn't live long.
