Then, Wang Mang took out 10 million yuan from the dowry and bribed the people around the Empress Dowager, down to the palace lady, and everyone was wet. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info and please Feng Wang Zhengjun's sister Wang Junxia as Guang Enjun, sister Wang Junli as Guang Huijun, Wang Jun's younger brother as Guang Shijun, all give Tang Muyi. Everyone got the benefits, and naturally praised Wang Mang in front of the Queen Mother all day long.

Wang Mang pleased the Empress Dowager and wanted to win over the world. Therefore, it was proposed to set up Mingtang, Biyong, and Lingtai, and build 10,000 school houses, and gather people with extraordinary abilities from all over the world to gather in Beijing. Establish the "Book of Music" and increase the number of doctors, with 5 people each. Conquer the world to understand the arts, teach more than 11 people, and have Yili, ancient books, astronomy, diagrams, bell law, the art of war, "Moon Order" and "History" texts, and inform those who are informed. He also recruited hundreds of people who could control the river, and also gathered in Beijing.

Wang Mang's fame has reached a new height, and the ministers jointly played, "When the Duke of Zhou became the king of Zhou, he was regent for seven years, and his achievements were high in the world." Now Anhan Gong has been serving as an assistant for four years, and he has also made outstanding contributions. It was suggested that his position as the ruler be promoted above the princes and kings, and the queen mother immediately approved it, and ordered the ministers to gather to discuss the gift of nine tins.

Wang Mang was also calculating in his heart: the Jiuxi Seal Ceremony is an outlier, and it needs to be served by the Quartet and the eight parties to come to the court before it can be implemented. Now the Xiongnu in the north, the overseas in the East, and the Yellow branch in the south, whether true or false, have all surrendered to the Han Dynasty. Now the West is alone. Wang Mang secretly sent his henchman Pingxian to bribe Xiqiang with more gold silk. The leader of the Xiqiang tribe was willing to be greedy for gold and silver, so he was willing to lead his subordinates to 12,000 people, attached to the Han Dynasty, and offered fresh water sea, Yungu, salt pond and other places. When the news came back, Wang Mang was overjoyed and played the imperial court, "Now our Han Dynasty has Xuzhou Donghai County, Jiaozhou Nanhai County, Qingzhou Beihai County, and Xihai County should be set up in Liangzhou." At the same time, I propose that Shuofang be incorporated into Liangzhou and divided into 12 states in order to respond to the ancient system."

In the winter, Seohae-gun was officially established. Fifty articles were added to the law, and the convicts were relocated to Xihai County for grazing. There are not enough criminals, followed by border people. This became the first thing the people complained about Wang Mang...

At the same time, Chang'an, the capital division, was divided into 2 counties, the former glow and the later Chenglie. The names and boundaries of the 12 states were also redrawn according to the ancient system. and changed the names and ranks of many officials of the ministers, doctors, and eighty-one scholars.

In the winter, Liu Li, the eighth grandson of Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty and the king of Liang, was deposed on charges of "communicating with Wei" and exiled to Nanzheng County, Hanzhong County. Committed suicide on the way.

In January of the 5th year of the first year (5), the temple was held in the Ming Hall. There were 28 princes and kings, 120 princes, and more than 900 princes of the clan to assist in the sacrifice. After the sacrifice is completed, they all seal the food, give the knight, give the gold silk, and increase the wealth.

In January, at the suggestion of Wang Mang, the sacrifices in the southern and northern suburbs of Chang'an were resumed.

Today's Kong Guang can hear his inner fight every day: one is the ideal and the other is the reality. Is it a complete abandonment of ideals? Or do you completely surrender to reality? So, these two strange things made Kong Guang almost schizophrenic...

If you can't afford to provoke it, then you must hide! So Kong Guang decided: This time he must make up his mind to resign!

Kong Guang said in a book that his body is really not good, so he can't play with everyone. This time, Wang Mang had nothing to say. The Empress Dowager issued an edict to allow Kong Guang to retreat inside, and he could enter the palace once in ten days. The rest of the time at home...

On April 1, Kong Guang passed away. Wang Mang held an unprecedentedly grand funeral for him, with more than 10,000 vehicles for the funeral alone.

It should be said: Kong Guang advanced and retreated with Wang Mang in the way of understanding current affairs during his lifetime, which is very admirable. But Kong Guang left the stage early, and he didn't see the more exciting performances below, so Wang Mang felt sorry for him...

Everyone in the Han Dynasty knew that Wang Mang was very ambitious, but no one dared to say how big it was. Many people have seen it: only using money and feudal marquis to fill the huge hole in Wang Mang's heart can't be filled at all! He is like a python with a good appetite, he will never give up if he does not swallow the prey he wants to swallow the most! As a result, the shouts and cries of Wang Mang for a generous reward continued to resound deafeningly in the sky above Chang'an City!

Wang Mang's political ideas were unprecedented. If he was born in the world and participated in political competition, he would definitely be an unborn master of creating public opinion and canvassing votes. In the Han Dynasty, public opinion directly affected politics, and Wang Mang came up with it with his head. The reason why he wants to create public opinion is because he wants to complete an unprecedented and unspeakable conspiracy...

After Kong Guang's death, he was succeeded by Ma Gong as Taishi. Soon, he mobilized officials and public opinion representatives from all over the country to gather in Chang'an to petition for Wang Mang. The officials who finally petitioned, the rank and number of them became larger and larger ... According to statistics, in the petition procession, there were representatives of princes, marquises, clans, etc., and the number of people in the team was as high as 487572. Not to mention anything else, the numbers are so detailed that they don't even let go of single digits, which shows that the official statistical work is really in place!

Wang Mang looked at the crowd outside the palace and seemed unmoved. He wrote to the Empress Dowager: "I am very busy right now, and I am working on a new etiquette, and I don't want to be distracted by this." So no matter what you shout outside the palace, don't pay attention to the Queen Mother."

Indeed, Wang Mang is very busy. He was busy creating a new etiquette scheme for himself. This set of toys is scary to say, but it is loved by every careerist, this is the famous Jiuxi etiquette!

The so-called nine tins are the nine kinds of utensils given by the Son of Heaven to the princes or ministers with special honors, and they are the expression of the highest courtesy. The Book of Rites records that these nine things are: chariots and horses, clothes, music, Zhu Hu, Na Ma, tiger ben, axes, bows and arrows, and bamboo stalks.

On the basis of the ancient rituals, Wang Mang creatively set himself the following nine tins: 1. Green silk (colored silk used to cover knees), crown (dragon hat), clothes (dragon robe), Yao Qi (sword with the handle decorated with jade), Yao Jue (sword decorated with jade on the scabbard), sentence shoes (royal shoes with upturned tips); 2, Luan Road (the emperor's special imperial car), riding horses (four horses), Longyi Jiuhan (dragon flags with nine tails), Piben, Suji, Ronglu, riding horses; 3 Tong bow arrows, Lu bow arrows; 4 built on the left Zhu Yue, right built Jin Qi; 5 armor, one body, two stalks; 6 Gui Hao 2, Nine Lives Qingyu Jue 2; 7 Zhu Hu; 8 Na Ma; 9 There were three hundred officials, including the officials, the officials, the diviners, the historians, and the tigers.

In May, Wang Mang officially accepted Jiuxi. Since then, Wang Mang has become the first person in Chinese history to give Jiuxi a special meaning. To know what the special meaning of this is, we have to look at which people in history accepted Jiuxi, and what did these people do later? They all coincidentally did one thing that was sorry for the emperor - usurping the throne! As a result, Jiuxi became synonymous with usurpation. If anyone wants to accept it, it means that he wants to be the emperor!

In this way, it is easy for us to understand what Wang Mang wants to do. All the public opinion he created was to pave a solid path for him to abolish the emperor and stand on his own feet in the future. And now the biggest obstacle in front of him is Emperor Liu Yin of Hanping...

In May, Wang Yun, Yan Qian, Chen Chong, Li Xi, Hao Dang, Xie Yin, Lu Pu, and Chen Feng returned to Chang'an after more than a year of touring the world, observing customs and customs. As Wang Mang's henchmen, they naturally knew what Wang Mang wanted to hear, so they compiled a ballad of more than 30,000 words to praise Wang Mang's merits. Wang Mang was overjoyed and made all eight of them marquis.

In leap May, Liu Xin, Ping Yan, Kong Yong, and Sun Qian were ordered to govern Mingtang and Piyong. Ling Han and King Wen Lingtai and Zhou Gong are the same as Luo. All four of them were made marquis for this merit.

At that time, all the counties in the world reported auspiciousness. Only the state minister of Guangping refused to follow. Sun Hong, the Taishou Gonggong of Langxi County, reported the famine instead. Zhen Feng impeached these two for their crimes of inhumanity and should be arrested. Or the Queen Mother is a little kind, "Ban Sui is the younger brother of Ban Jieyu." Concubine Xian's family should be lenient" So Gongsun Hong was imprisoned and sentenced. Ban Sui escaped, wrote to apologize, resigned from the post of Guangping State Minister, and joined the Yanling Cemetery.

In leap May, Wang Mang played: There are no two Jia in the city, no prison lawsuits in the city, no thieves in the city, no hungry people in the wilderness, no road is left behind, and men and women have different paths. The offender shall be punished with elephant punishment.

In leap May, Liu Yin, the eighth grandson of Liu Heng and a descendant of Liu Wu, was established as the king of Liang.

In the summer, Wang Mang prepared to excavate the tombs of Fu and Ding. The Queen Mother refused to listen. Wang Mang said angrily, "Fu, Ding Er, buried with the seal of the Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager. Now that the decree has been clearly decreed to increase and depreciate, how can we not take out the seal ribbon and destroy it? In addition, Fu is not worthy of being buried with Emperor Yuan, and should be buried in Dingtao, and the name of "Wang Zhengjun has no choice but to promise." However, it is not allowed to change the coffin, only to change the burial.

Wang Mang immediately ordered men to dig up the graves of the second queen. The ministers echoed one after another, sending more than 100,000 people, their children, all beings, and Siyi. The two graves were dug up in the middle of the day. Wang Mang ordered again: Plant thorns all around. He also destroyed the sacrificial temple of the communist emperor Liu Kang. Ling Bao, Duan Yu and others cooperated with Pujun.

Taishi Ma Gong was appointed Guangluxun back then, and he also supported Empress Dowager Fu's honoring action. Now seeing Wang Mang turning over this old case, he is uneasy, and he writes to ask for the resignation of Taishi, Da Situ, and Fudehou Yinshou. On August 20, the Empress Dowager issued an edict: remove the Taishi and Da Situ of the Ma Palace, but still retain their marquis.

After that, Wang Mang recruited Shi Dan in the name of the Empress Dowager and gave him the title of Marquis of Guannei. A few months later, he was even more named the Marquis of Yiyang. But only a little after receiving the title of Hou, Shi Dan died.

Liu Qing, Marquis of Quanling, wrote a letter requesting that Wang Mang, the Duke of Anhan, be the regent and do the things of the Son of Heaven. Such as the story of Zhou Gong becoming king. It's just that the current "King of Zhou Cheng" Emperor Liu Jin of Hanping is 15 years old. His mind and body are growing day by day, like a wild horse about to break free. Wang Mang had planted eyes and ears everywhere in the palace, and he had already inquired that Liu Yin had expressed indignation at his murder of the Wei family. In this case, instead of waiting for the emperor to clean up after his wings grow, only he will strike first!

On the day of Lap, Wang Mang prepared poisoned pepper wine and sent someone to the palace to present it to Emperor Liu Yin of Hanping. Folks believe that drinking pepper wine can expel ghosts and gods. Liu Jian drank it without thinking too much. The poison hit immediately, and the life of Emperor Liu Yin of the Han Ping Dynasty reached the most dangerous time...

At this time, Wang Mang began another performance: he wrote a policy essay saying that he was willing to replace the emperor with his body. Then he went to Tai to pray, and hid the text in Jinteng and placed it in the front hall. And told the ministers not to say more. This Jin Teng Zang Strategy, this is the story of Zhou Gong back then, An Han Gong is really the reincarnation of Zhou Gong... In the midst of such exclamations from the ministers, Emperor Liu Yin of the Han Ping Dynasty has been poisoned and died!

Wang Mang, who had nothing to do, once again pretended to preside over the funeral, granted amnesty to the world, and ordered all officials in the world with more than 600 stones to mourn for Liu Yin for three years.

In December, Ping Yan was promoted to Grand Situ.

The old is gone, and the new is coming. After Liu Yin's funeral was completed, the Empress Dowager issued an edict to let the ministers discuss the selection of the new emperor.

At this time, Hugh said that Emperor Cheng, Emperor Wai, and Emperor Ping all collapsed without children, and even the entire line of Emperor Liu Zheng of the Han Yuan Dynasty was all dead. So I had to push it up again and find the descendants of Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty, Liu Xun!

At this time, among Liu Xun's great-grandsons, there were 5 princes and kings (Liu Xuan, the grandson of Liu Qin, King of Huaiyang; Liu Xuan, the grandson of Liu Huan, the king of Chu, and Liu Jing, the king of Xindu; Liu Kaiming, the grandson of Liu Yu, the king of Dongping, and Liu Chengdu, the king of Zhongshan), 48 princes (Liu Xian, the grandson of Liu Huan, the marquis of Guangqi...). The ministers made a list of these people and handed them over... Unexpectedly, when Wang Mang looked at this list, it was like a fly flying into his mouth, and he felt very disgusting!

In his opinion, there are so many candidates, but none of them suit their appetite! The reason is simple: these people are grown up and difficult to control. Helping them to be emperors is tantamount to pushing themselves into the fire pit. So how will Wang Mang refuse?

There are still ways! Wang Mang remembered a trick used by Emperor Cheng of the Han Dynasty. At that time, Liu Biao did not let his younger brother Liu Xing be the emperor, Liu Xing's inflexible head was secondary, and the most important thing was: if Liu Xing was made the emperor, then after Liu Biao died, according to the rules of the Han Dynasty, the brothers could not enter the temple at the same time. Therefore, if Liu Xing is allowed to succeed to the throne, and after Liu Biao's death, no one will come to worship him, and he will not even have to gnaw on cold pork, then he will lose a lot!

Now according to generation, Liu Xun's great-grandsons are the same generation as Liu Xin and Liu Jin. So Wang Mang gave an order to the relevant departments according to Liu Biao's rules: "Between brothers and peers, all of them cannot succeed to the throne!" The candidates for the new emperor must be selected from the great-great-grandsons of Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty" Finally, Wang Mang added another sentence, "After the new list is drawn up, all of them must be summoned to Chang'an to accept my review"
