Wang Mang's performance
At this moment, someone gave the Queen Mother a move, and the dead chess game was revitalized at once, "If you want Wang Mang to come to work normally, you must first seal Kong Guang and others" The Queen Mother suddenly realized. www.biquge.info It turns out that Wang Mang is not unsealed, but the procedure is not in line with the wrong way, so he made a mistake...
So, the Empress Dowager immediately sealed Kong Guang as the princess and the general. Wang Shun was the Taibao, and each increased the number of households by 10,000. Zhen Feng is the young master, the marquis of Guangyang, and there are 5,000 households. Zhen Han sealed the Marquis of Chengyang, with 2,400 households. Then the Empress Dowager Wang issued another edict, promoted Wang Mang to the prince, sealed the Duke of Anhan, and sealed 28,000 households.
In the Zhou Dynasty, Taifu, Taishi, and Taibao were the three dukes, of which Taishi was the most noble. But at this time, of course, Taifu is the most noble. It can be seen that it doesn't matter what the official position itself is, what matters is whether the person serving is strong enough...
In ancient times, there was the Duke of Zhou, and now there is the Duke of Anhan. Wang Mang's lifelong struggle, isn't it just to compare Zhou Gong? At this point, Wang Mang also got what he deserved. So he was cured of his illness immediately, got up and went to work. However, he immediately gave the Empress Dowager another problem, saying that he only accepted the titles of Taifu and An Han Gong, and as for the additional 28,000 mining estates, he did not want it. If the Empress Dowager really wants to reward him, then it is not too late to reward him after the people of the whole country are basically living a well-off life.
Objectively evaluated, Wang Mang's words were not a show. Wang Mang is not Wang Li, Chun Yuchang, those stupid people, with a little power, he wants to make money, but he simply fell into the eyes of money!
This time, the Empress Dowager did not argue with Wang Mang, and directly said to him, "I respect your opinion." When the people of the whole country are well-off, I will give you a two-fold salary increase" Wang Mang once again refused to give him a salary increase. The Queen Mother is simply too underestimated! Such Wang Mang is simply a fool. To tell the truth, Wang Mang is not obsessed with salary, land, and beautiful women, but something that can satisfy his heart's incomparable desire: power!
According to Wang Mang's suggestion, the Empress Dowager issued an edict: give the people of the world a first-class title. Rehabilitated the unjust case of King Dongping, and re-established Liu Yun's crown prince Liu Kaiming as King of Dongping. He also established Liu Yun's nephew Liu Chengdu as the king of Zhongshan. Feng Liu Xin and other 36 Han Xuan Emperor Liu Xun's ear and grandson are all liehous. Feng Wang Yun and other 25 people are the marquis of Guannei. In addition, if the princes have no children and grandchildren, even if they only have nephews, they can have heirs and inherit official titles. Those whose clan surnamed Liu was abolished due to their crimes were allowed to be reinstated. Officials who are more than 2,000 koku retire in old age, and 1/3 of the original salary is given as a pension. Down to the widows and widows of the common people, all of them are sympathetic. And all of this was implemented by Wang Mang's creativity, so the government and the opposition praised Wang Mang, the Duke of Anhan, and wiped out the old queen mother Wang Zhengjun and the little emperor Liu Jizi!
After such a universal celebration, Wang Mang's next step is to seize the power in the hands of his aunt Wang Zhengjun! There's no way, the temptation of power is too great, but it falls into the hands of an old lady who is 71 years old and doesn't like to play with power. In Wang Mang's opinion, this is simply a tyrannical thing!
If you want to grab power, it will hurt your feelings. Wang Mang decided not to rob, but coaxed his aunt to take the initiative to hand over power to him. If you want to coax the queen mother, Wang Mang still has the bottom in his heart. Because he had already seen that his aunt was living in the palace, he was really uncomfortable with suddenly pulling her out to take care of national affairs, so he was tired of it.
Wang Mang began to lay out. First of all, he asked his subordinates to play together, "The central government promotes local officials, and the procedures are very troublesome. When the report is typed, someone has to be sent to assess it, and then a whole lot of things have to be done. Queen Mother, you are old, so you don't have to worry about these things. In our opinion, in the future, such a trivial matter can be handed over to An Han Gong."
When the queen mother heard this, okay, the capable people of Anhan work hard, so leave it to him. I am an old woman who has difficulty walking, how can I read so many reports all day long? Sure enough, the queen mother issued an edict: "From now on, all things like knighthood will be under my control; Other matters were handed over to Wang Mang, the Duke of Anhan, and the four auxiliary officials (Taifu Wang Mang, Taishi Kong Guang, Taibao Wang Shun, and Young Fu Zhenfeng) to deal with" It's done, that's what you want!
Since then, the Han world only knows that there is Wang Mang, the Duke of Anhan, and I don't know that there is Liu Jizi, Emperor Liu Jizi of Hanping, and Wang Zhengjun, the Empress Dowager! But Wang Mang was not complacent about this. Because he clearly knows that things have only just started well, and there is still a long way to go...
Therefore, Wang Mang must always take full care of his aunt's mood. In order not to let his aunt feel that she was being set up, Wang Mang deliberately created a lot of illusions, so that the Empress Dowager felt that her prestige was far greater than before: if a foreign envoy came to Chang'an, Wang Mang invited the Empress Dowager to come out to meet and reward; Throughout the year, Wang Mang has to organize some activities, take the Queen Mother out to inspect, and comfort orphans, widows, virgins and martyrs. Or go to the grassroots level to inspect and comfort the working people...
What Wang Mang has done is no different from what the leaders of various countries do on television today. So from a certain point of view, Wang Mang two thousand years ago had advanced modern leadership and management concepts and awareness...
But Wang Mang failed in the end, and he was defeated by the eyes of two thoughts. He looked back with one eye, looking at Zhou Gong and Zhou Chao; Looking forward with one eye, I looked at the grand blueprint of the people of the whole country running for water and health that was out of reach. He thinks ahead of his time, and he is obsessed with worshipping the ancients, can he walk and do things like this, can he not fall?
Wang Mang's fall is inevitable in reality, but not now. Let's go back to the show!
In February, according to the Zhou ceremony, Xihe officials were set up, with a rank of 2,000 stones. Liu Xin took up his post. It also set up foreign history and Lu division, with a rank of 600 stones.
May 1, solar eclipse. Liu Jizi issued an edict to amnesty the world. Ordered the minister, the general, and the officials of the middle two thousand stones, each of whom was honest and outspoken.
Wang Mang is a python with an unprecedentedly keen sense of smell. In Chang'an City, where he covered the sky with one hand, he sniffed out a trace of ominousness. This is the relative of Emperor Liu Jizi of Hanping. He must strangle all of this new relative's power in the cradle before it rises!
There is no way, Wang Mang has suffered losses in this regard and paid tuition. In the past, when Liu Xin first entered Chang'an, Liu Biao did not let Mrs. Fu and other relatives enter the city, but the Queen Mother did not take it seriously and let Mrs. Fu live in the palace. After Liu Biao's death, Mrs. Fu was fierce, and even Wang Mang was not anyone's opponent. Now Liu Jizi is still young, ignorant, and does not pose a threat. But the emperor is thriving, and Wang Mang will grow old one day. When you think about countermeasures, people's knives have already reached their necks!
So Wang Mang wrote a letter and suggested to the Empress Dowager, "When Liu Xin was not the emperor before, he would listen to the Wang family in everything; But as soon as he became the emperor, he immediately turned his face and promoted the two relatives surnamed Fu and Ding, and the good Chang'an City was messed up. This time, we must learn a lesson, uphold the orthodoxy of the patriarchy, disregard our personal feelings, and set an example for future generations to follow."
Liu Jizi's mother's surname is Wei, and she is known as Wei Ji. The Empress Dowager Wang heard it, Wang Mang told her not to let Wei Ji and Wei's relatives enter Chang'an City. If you loosen your mouth and put one, God knows how many relatives of the Wei family will come in noisily? Therefore, this mouth must not be loosened! Wang Mang's reasoning, the Empress Dowager Wang had a deep understanding, the old man sighed, and nodded in agreement.
In June, Zhen Feng was ordered to take the seal ribbon to Zhongshan Kingdom and named Wei Ji the queen of Zhongshan; Wei Ji's two brothers, Wei Bao and Wei Xuan, are the marquis of Guannei; Wei Ji's three daughters are kings. At the same time, I brought a sentence: You all let me stay in Zhongshan Country honestly, and none of you can enter Chang'an City!
Cao Shentu Gang wrote a book about the right wind and bluntly said countermeasures for this, which offended Wang Mang's taboo. The Empress Dowager issued an edict reprimanding Shen Tugang for speaking falsely and violating the general righteousness, and released him back to the field.
On the 20th, Liu Jizi issued an edict: Feng Lu Qinggong's eighth grandson Kuan was the Marquis of Praise Lu, in order to worship the Duke of Zhou. The great-grandson of Kong Ba was praised as a marquis to worship Confucius. Chasing Confucius is to praise Xuanni Gong.
In August, Liu Jizi issued an edict: If the women of the world have been convicted, they will be allowed to go home and hire 300 mountain money every month to hire people to cut wood. Restore the system of one virgin woman in each village. In each of the 13 states, there is one person in the Ministry of Agriculture to persuade farmers and mulberries.
In September, Liu Jizi issued an edict to pardon prisoners all over the world.
In the spring of the 2nd year of the Yuan Dynasty (2), Huang Zhiguo came to offer rhinoceros. This Huangzhi country is in the South China Sea, 30,000 miles away from Chang'an, the capital of Beijing, and has never paid tribute. Today, I came to offer a rhinoceros, and the ministers all said that this was the virtue of King Mang, the prince of Anhan. Immediately afterwards, there was a Yueshan county play, saying that there was a yellow dragon traveling in the river. Taishi Kong Guang, Da Situ Ma Gong and others are about to be called Rui and return to Wang Mang. But Sun Bao, the big Si Nong, jumped out to stir up the matter. Wang Mang was unhappy in his heart, which made people blame Sun Bao's mistakes. It was found that Sun Bao sent someone to welcome his mother, wife and children into Beijing. His mother suddenly fell ill on the way and returned to her brother's house to recuperate, and Sun Bao's wife and children went to Beijing alone. The matter was impeached by Chen Chong, saying that Sun Bao favored his wife and forgot his mother, and Sun Bao was finally dismissed and returned home.
Liu Jizi issued an edict and changed his name to Liu Jin.
On March 21, Dasikong Wang Chong resigned due to illness. On April 16, the left general Zhen Feng was promoted to the rank of Dasikong, the right general Sun Jian was the left general, and the Guangluxun Zhen Han was the right general.
In April, Liu Yin issued an edict: Liu Ruyi, the sixth grandson of Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty and the descendant of Liu Shen, the acting king of Liu Shen, was the king of Guangzong. Liu Gong, the great-grandson of Emperor Liu Qi of the Han Dynasty and the descendant of Liu Fei, the king of Jiangdu, was the king of Guangchuan. Liu Lun, the great-great-grandson of Liu Qi and a descendant of Liu Yue, the king of Guangchuan, was appointed as the king of Guangde. He also named Huo Guang's descendants Huo Yang, Zhang Ao's great-grandson Zhang Qingji, Zhou Bo's great-grandson Zhou Gong, and Fan Xu's fifth grandson Fan Zhang as liehous. Feng Lishang's descendants, Li Mingyou, and other 113 people are Guannei Hou.
In the summer, there was a great drought in the world, and at the same time there was a locust plague. Qingzhou is especially so, and the people are in exile. Wang Mang invited the Empress Dowager to reduce food and clothing, and set an example for all the people in the world. At the same time, he said that he was willing to pay millions of dollars and donate 30 hectares of land to let Dasi Nong go to disaster relief. The Manchu ministers also followed up, and a total of 230 people were willing to donate land to help the poor. At the same time, the imperial court sent envoys to hunt locusts. The people were allowed to pay a reward according to the number of locusts they caught, and the local officials paid a reward. If the assets of the people in the world are less than 100,000 yuan or the assets of the affected people are less than 20,000 yuan, all of them are exempt from taxation. The common people are provided with free medicine for those who are sick and diseased. To settle Huchiyuan as an Anmin County, recruit poor people to relocate. to the field house, the utensils; Lend ploughs, oxen, seeds, and food. If a family has more than 6 dead people, 5,000 will be given funeral money, 3,000 if more than 4 people die, and 2,000 if more than 2 people die... Wang Mang took advantage of this natural disaster to win the hearts of the victims...
In June, Gong Sheng and Bing Han resigned in old age, and Wang Mang wanted to show his favor and give them a gift.
The "Hanshu Geographical Chronicles" is based on this year, with a total of 83 counties and 20 countries; 1314 counties, 32 provinces, 241 Houguo; 12233062 households, 59594978 mouths; Reclamation 8270536 hectares.
This year, the Xiongnu envoy arrived. Wang Mang asked how Wang Zhaojun, who was out of the country back then, is doing now? The Xiongnu envoy replied that Wang Zhaojun now has two daughters who are still in the Xiongnu. Wang Mang asked the envoy to go back and told Shan Yu to let Wang Zhaojun's two daughters go back to the Han Dynasty to visit their mother's family. Wuzhu stayed like a single Yu and sent Wang Zhaojun's eldest daughter Yun back to Chang'an to serve the queen mother.
In this year, the king of the Cheshi Houguo Guju and the king of the Wuqiang State Tang Doubei Han surrendered to Hungary. Wang Mang ordered Han Long to send an envoy to the Xiongnu and asked Wuzhu to leave the two traitorous kings. Wuzhu Liuruo was able to hand over the people and at the same time apologize to the Han Dynasty for them and beg for mercy. But Wang Mang did not listen, and ordered that the two kings be beheaded in front of the kings of the Western Regions.
Then, Wang Mang sent Wang Jun, Wang Chang, Zhen Fu, and Wang Xun to envoy the Xiongnu, and tore up the agreement between Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty Liu Xun and Hu Han Evil Shan Yu that "the south of the Great Wall is owned by the Han Dynasty, and the north of the Great Wall is owned by the Xiongnu." Neither side is allowed to accept defectors from the other party", and the new policy of "four noes" was proposed for Wuzhu Liuruo Shan Yu: 1. It was not allowed to accept Han Chinese fleeing to the Xiongnu; 2. It is not allowed to accept the Wusun people who fled to the Xiongnu; 3. It is forbidden to accept the high-ranking officials of the Western Regions who accept the titles of the Han Dynasty and flee to the Xiongnu; 4. It is not allowed to accept the Wuhuan people to flee to the Xiongnu.
Then Wang Mang proposed that Chinese names are all single names, and they are rarely renamed. Since the Xiongnu have surrendered to the Han Dynasty, they should accept the customs of the Han Dynasty and give themselves a single name. The Han Dynasty will have a heavy reward. Chong heavy reward, Wuzhu Liuruo Shan Yu didn't say a word, and immediately promised "The minister's original name is Nang Zhiyasi, and now he will change his name to Zhiba" Wang Mang was overjoyed, and immediately rewarded Wuzhu Liuruo Shan Yu as agreed...
After getting rid of the Wei relatives of Emperor Liu Yin of the Han Ping Dynasty, Wang Mang turned around and wanted to fight Liu Yin again. At this time, Liu Yin had been on the throne for more than two years and was 12 years old. Wang Mang thought that he should cultivate the relationship with the little emperor well, and decided to marry his daughter to Liu Yin, but he couldn't say it clearly, so he had to use his brains.
