Wang Mang's second liquidation target is the relatives of Fu and Ding. The pen, fun, and pavilion www.biquge.info all the money earned by Mrs. Fu during her lifetime was claimed back! Wang Mang removed the title of Empress Dowager of the Fu family and changed it to the original Queen Mother of Dingtao; Ding Ji's title of Empress Dowager was also revoked and changed to Ding Ji. Then Wang Mang dismissed the two relatives surnamed Fu and Ding from their posts and exiled them. Liu Xin's Empress Fu was kicked out of the palace and moved to live in the Gui Palace. A month later, he was demoted to a civilian and sent to guard Liu Xin's tomb. Empress Fu and Zhao Feiyan committed suicide at the same time. Empress Fu's father, Fu Yan, and his wife sent together to cooperate with Pujun.

Among them, only one person was pardoned: Fu Xi! Wang Mang thought that Fu Xi was very kind, and when the power of Mrs. Fu was in full swing, Fu Xi still opposed Mrs. Fu's mess and defended Confucian morality in the name of justice. So the Empress Dowager issued a special edict to recall Fu Xi from the fiefdom and rank in the special advance, that is, the Hou Supplement Da Sima. That is to say: if Wang Mang goes down one day, the next big Sima will be Fu Xi. But Fu Xi didn't appreciate it and rejected Wang Mang's kindness. Not for anything else, just because Fu Xi doesn't want to play politics anymore. What's more, the person who played with him was Wang Mang. Can he play Wang Mang?

In the end, the Empress Dowager had no choice but to agree and send Fu Xi back to the fiefdom. Fu Xi is in the fiefdom for the rest of his life...

Wang Mang's third thing to clean up is Dong's forces. Since the founding of the Han Dynasty, there has never been a force that has risen so quickly and fallen so quickly as the Dong family. Wang Mang wants to clean up the Dong family, not for power, but for money! Dong Xian is too rich. At that time, Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty Liu Heng supported the male pet Deng Tong and became the richest man in the Han Dynasty. But if Deng Tong knew how much money Liu Ying gave Dong Xian underground, it is estimated that he would come back to life from the coffin!

Like the forces surnamed Fu and Ding, Wang Mang dismissed all the officials of the Dong family from their posts and exiled them. Dong Gong and Dong Kuanxin were exiled to Hepu County, and Dong Xian's mother was repatriated to Julu County. And then there's the raid. In the end, Dong Xian's property was copied out, and there were as many as 4.3 billion! Rich and rival the country, that's not a legend, let alone blown out!

After working for a long time, Wang Mang and Wang Zhengjun finally thought of establishing an emperor. Liu Biao has no children, Liu Xin has passed over, and now Liu Xin has no children, so he has to find another one to succeed. So who is it better to look for?

Emperor Cheng of the Han Dynasty had two good brothers: Liu Kang, the king of Dingtao, and Liu Xing, the king of Zhongshan. Liu Biao favored Liu Kang during his lifetime. But Liu Kang died early, and Liu Kang's son Liu Xin was trained by Mrs. Fu for nearly 20 years, and was quite smart and clever, and later defeated the third uncle Liu Xing in the competition for the throne.

Liu Xing also left behind a son, Liu Jizi, who is 9 years old this year. It's really feng shui in turns, the emperors take turns to do it, Wang Zhengjun and Wang Mang coincidentally think of the successor to the throne, it is this Liu Jizi!

As a result, Wang Shun, the younger brother of Wang Mang and the son of Wang Yin, was appointed as the general of the chariot cavalry, and was ordered to go to Zhongshan with the two of Dahonglu Zuo Xian to welcome Liu Jizi to Chang'an as emperor.

Then Wang Mang began to hold power hostage, promoting those who were obedient and exterminating those who hated. First of all, Zhen Han, the son-in-law of Da Situ Kongguang, was promoted to the rank of servant and lieutenant of Fengche. Once the hundreds of officials in the court disagreed with him, Wang Mang fabricated charges and ordered Zhen Han to take the draft to Kong Guang, but Kong Guang did not dare not approve it. Then Wang Mang took the impeachment note approved by Kong Guang to the Queen Mother, and everything was done.

He Wu and Gongsun Lu were charged with "flaunting each other", and they were all dismissed from office and driven out of Chang'an City. He Wu was a marquis and had a fief, so he went back to his fiefdom and lived for the rest of his life.

Dong Hong's son, Dong Wu, originally inherited the title of his father, Marquis Gaochang. Now Wang Mang has found out what Dong Hong did in the Empress Dowager Fu's operation and deprived Dong Wu of his title.

Zhang You, Shi Li, Ding Xuan and others were demoted to concubines because they caused the unjust case of the Empress Dowager Feng of Zhongshan, and they were sent to cooperate with Pujun. Don't think Longben has much to do with this case, just because he looked down on Wang Mang when he was young. At this time, Wang Mang was also involved in this case and distributed together.

In fact, in Wang Mang's view, these people do not pose a threat to him. But the other person is different, he is like a time bomb, and he must be cleared out of Chang'an City in time: Wang Mang's sixth uncle, Wang Li! Everyone in the world knows that Wang Li is a corrupt criminal who loves money as much as his life. For the sake of money, he dared to take risks and embezzle state property; For the sake of money, he was able to forget all the salt that his nemesis had sprinkled on his wounds overnight. God knows, what good things will he do next for the sake of money?

Wang Li had already been driven out of Chang'an City. But later, in order to take care of the face of the Empress Dowager, Liu Xin recalled him back to Chang'an. Although Liu Xin collapsed before he could arrange a new job for Wang Li. But this unofficial and unemployed person is what Wang Mang fears the most! The reason lies in Wang Li's seniority. In a traditional society like China, you are capital. If you point fingers at you, you don't dare to do anything!

What Wang Mang is afraid of is that Wang Li is idle, he has nothing to do, and he is pointing fingers at himself. And if it hadn't been for the corruption accident back then, Wang Li would have been a big Sima a long time ago, and it would not have been Wang Mang's turn. Now if he wants to rob the position of Da Sima, won't the matter be troublesome? Therefore, Wang Li must be driven out of Chang'an City again. In what name do you drive people out? Wang Mang has already thought about it: in the name of morality and justice!

Of course, Wang Mang was not stupid enough to come forward to impeach his uncle. He thought of someone who could do things for him. That person is none other than Kong Guang! After years of officialdom training, Kong Guang has become proficient. No matter what kind of leader he is, he obediently and conscientiously carries out all the tasks assigned by the leader. With this in mind, Wang Mang thought that Kong Guang was reliable. So he called him and said, "This way...

Kong Guang understood and immediately impeached Wang Li to the Empress Dowager, "Wang Li knew that Chun Yuchang was a fraudster, but Chun Yuchang bribed him a little, so he spoke for others and bullied the emperor." This kind of person, whose moral image has been completely destroyed, is no longer qualified to stay as an assistant. Therefore, it is strongly recommended that the Empress Dowager send him back to the fiefdom"

After Wang Zhengjun saw it, he didn't say a word and refused! The Queen Mother's refusal was justified. Wang Li received Chun Yuchang's money, how many years ago was that? Chunyu Changdu turned into soil, the emperors of the Han Dynasty have changed two, and the Prime Minister's Mansion is like a car and water in turn, and I don't know how many prime ministers have been changed. Now Kong Guang is still mentioning this matter, which shows that someone is uneasy and kind! Who is upset with good intentions? Wang Zhengjun knew it in his heart, but he didn't know what to say. If he's not mistaken, he's about to jump out!

Sure enough, Wang Mang jumped out! Kong Guang couldn't figure it out, so he had to come forward in person, "The current Han Dynasty is no longer majestic, and it is an eventful time." and collapsed two emperors in a row, both of whom had no heirs. The country is now in the hands of your queen mother, if the enthusiasm of the minister is hit by personal feelings, in case of ****, the minister is passive and slack, can you withstand it? Actually, aunt, you don't have to worry about your uncle. It's just that he will return to the fiefdom first, and when the time is ripe, he will be invited back again."

Wang Zhengjun heard it, Wang Mang called it even fearful and pulling. Inside and outside the Han Dynasty, it was almost in the hands of Wang Mang alone! Wang Zhengjun is old, don't say that Wang Mang wants to toss, as long as Wang Mang asks someone to go outside to make trouble, he says that he is sick and lies at home to play haha, what can you do? Wang Zhengjun couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart. It's not that she's too old, it's that Wang Mang is too strong. If she wants to live for the rest of her life, she can only submit to Wang Mang. The helpless Empress Dowager had no choice but to nod and allow Wang Li to be driven out of Chang'an and go back to her fiefdom for a long vacation...

In August, Da Sikong Peng announced that he couldn't play Wang Mang, so he wrote a letter asking for retirement. Wang Mang hated his unwarranted retreat, so he deliberately did not abide by the rules of the retirement of the three important ministers, and did not give gold, chariots, and horses. It's just that Peng Xuan was removed from his official position in the name of the Empress Dowager and driven him back to the fiefdom. On the 27th, the right general Wang Chong was appointed as the Great Sikong and was named the Marquis of Ping. Guanglu Xunma Palace was appointed as the right general. Zhen Feng was appointed Guangluxun.

Wang Mang takes Wang Shun (Wang Yinzi) and Wang Yi (Wang Shangzi) as his heart; Zhen Han (Kong Guang's son-in-law) Zhen Feng's main bullet; Ping Yan (Ping Dangzi) leads the machine; Liu Xin (Liu Xiangzi) canonical article; Sun Jian is a minion. There are also Zhen Feng's son Zhen Xun, Liu Xin's son Liu Di, Cui Fa, Chen Chong and others are his comrades. At this point, the political environment of Chang'an City was finally cleaned up by Wang Mang. Carefully arranged, respond to all calls, what you usually want to do, as long as you show a little bit of tone, there will naturally be people below to do it all. When there is a reward, Wang Mang often pretends to give in and kowtows. In this way, he bullied his aunt and the people, and he was duplicitous, and he was selfish.

On September 1, 9-year-old Liu Jizi officially ascended the throne as Emperor Ping of Han and granted amnesty to the world. The Empress Dowager listened to the government, and Wang Mang was responsible for the specific affairs of the government.

The work of the government should have been the responsibility of Da Situ. The chief air traffic control supervisor and civil engineering work. Da Sima is in charge of the military. Three major institutions, with three separate powers, are not subordinate to each other. On the surface, in fact, it is still who is stronger! So the real head of these three institutions is still Wang Mang!

Da Situ Kong Guang saw that Da Sikong Peng Xuan had left, and it was not a good thing to think that he was relying on this person. So he also handed in his resignation, please approve my retirement...

Just one left, and this one wants to go, what does it mean? Don't you look down on me? When Wang Mang saw Kong Guang's resignation, he was very unhappy. But after thinking about it, people don't want to do it, and they can't detain him in this position. So I thought I could let Kong Guang take a back seat and do something else?

Wang Mang issued an edict in the name of the Empress Dowager: relocate Kong Guang as the empress dowager, and be responsible for the counseling and education of Emperor Liu Jizi of the Han Ping Dynasty. At the same time, he is also in charge of the guards, and provides for the palace ban. Kong Guang saw that it was difficult to excuse himself, so he had to stay...

At the same time, the right general Ma Gong was promoted to the rank of Great Situ, and Guangluxun Zhen Feng was reappointed as the right general.

Wang Mang didn't know: Teacher Kong Guang was very bitter at this time. Although the Han Dynasty was large, no one could play Wang Mang. Stay by yourself, and continue to be played by Wang Mang. This desire to be free but unable to do so is as painful as a bird wanting to fly out of an iron cage! So what to do? In this era of chaotic ministers and thieves, if you can't be an upright person, just be a person who pretends to be deaf and dumb! If you don't want to act, and you can't leave the table, it's not bad to watch others act... Kong Guang could only comfort himself with boredom like this.

In fact, Wang Mang forced Kong Guang to stay, just to let him watch him act, and if necessary, he could also ask him to be a judge to score a score.

In the first month of the first year of the first year (AD1), it is said that this was the day of the resurrection of Christ Jesus on earth in the West. However, in the distant Han Dynasty in the East, Wang Mang was entangled with a group of people, ready to appear on the stage to sing a big show!

Wang Mang asked someone to secretly go to the distant Yizhou County to get a white pheasant and two black pheasants. Then report to the Empress Dowager Wang, "This is the mascot of the distant Yueshang tribe to pay tribute", and the Empress Dowager Wang issued an edict: "Since it is a good thing, then use the white pheasant to sacrifice to the Taimiao"

The white pheasant is good, but Wang Mang's advertising is doing well. Then, many government officials played one after another, singing the praises of Wang Mang. said that the white pheasant that Wang Mang got was like the white pheasant that Zhou Gong got back then, they were all mascots. Wang Mang's merits are comparable to those of Duke Zhou.

Now, we finally understand: why Wang Mang sent someone to get no other chicken, but a white pheasant. It turned out that he checked the allusion, and this move clearly wanted to compete with Zhou Gong! Who is Zhou Gong? Assist King Zhou Cheng's important minister of the state. the Zhou Dynasty, which did not become a king without the Duke of Zhou; Similarly, if there is no Wang Mang, there will be no future of the Han Dynasty!

At this time, Wang Mang's tail wagger continued, "Wang Mang's meritorious achievements are world-renowned, and he should not only be a marquis, but also a duke, and increase the number of food." In this way, Wang Mang's status as a national meritorious service can be shown."

During the Zhou Dynasty, he was knighted with the fifth rank: the prince and the prince; And there is Zhou Tianzi as king. Later, Shang Ying changed the law and implemented the military merit system, and the highest rank was the marquis represented by the Marquis of Che and the Marquis of Guannei. At the beginning of the founding of the Han Dynasty, Liu Bang made a rule: only the king and the marquis were knighted. Now in accordance with the Zhou rites, Wang Mang is still the first to propose the title of duke...

If someone has mentioned it, let's discuss it. Wang Zhengjun submitted the matter to the ministers for discussion. At this time, Wang Mang was already ready, and immediately wrote to the Empress Dowager Wang, "The reason why the Han Dynasty can have today is not all the credit of my Wang Mang alone. Kong Guang, Wang Shun, Zhen Feng, Zhen Han and other comrades have all made great contributions. If you want to seal them, I'll forget it."

This trick will be used by the ancients as long as it is used. Of course, the Queen Mother will also play. Immediately issued an edict again, saying that it must be sealed. Wang Mang refused...

According to common sense, this kind of political show only needs to be resigned three times. Then you can say something that is better than being respectful. That's what Liu Bang did back then. But the Empress Dowager didn't expect it: Wang Mang not only repeatedly, but also had to excuse himself four times!

The Empress Dowager had no choice but to play with Wang Mang, and continued to issue an edict saying that she would seal him. At this time, Wang Mang suddenly said, "I'm sick, please forgive me for not being able to play with you" The Queen Mother was at a loss for a while, and she didn't know if she wanted to continue to play this scene?
