The controversy between King Fu and Wang
The gunman who created public opinion for Liu Xin was a person of unknown origin: Gaochang Hou Dong Hong. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info He sent a note to Liu Xin, saying: "During the Warring States Period, King Xiang of Qin Zhuang was originally Xia Ji, but he was adopted as a son by Mrs. Huayang. When he ascended the throne, both of them were honored as 'Queen Mother', and they should follow suit. Your Majesty may honor your own grandmother as the Empress Dowager."
When Liu Xin happily quickly transferred this recital to the relevant departments, someone finally couldn't hold back and jumped out to speak: Wang Mang!
When it comes to creating public opinion, Wang Mang is a top master. If he says that he is second, no one dares to say first. The cow is not blown out, for the time being, you can see Wang Mang's skills:
As mentioned earlier, from childhood to adulthood, Wang Mang was very poor in money. But in order to make a name for himself, he never hesitated to give up his money. Before Wang Mang was crowned as a great Sima, he was just a cavalry captain and a doctor of Guanglu. After becoming the big Sima, there is no nouveau riche arrogance. On the contrary, he is always throwing money around and recruiting talents. In his private life, he was particularly frugal.
Once, when Wang Mang's mother fell ill, senior officials at all levels of the central government came to visit. Wang Mang asked his wife to greet him at the door. After the Han Dynasty ministers arrived, their wives all asked Wang Mang, "Where is your wife?" Why don't you come out to see us and chat," Wang Mang told them, "The one who greeted you at the door just now was the wife" When the ladies heard it, they were all stunned! When they entered the door, the woman who greeted them was dressed very shabby, and thought she was a slave of the royal family! People can't look good, I didn't expect her to be Mrs. Da Sima!
So Wang Mangli's reputation as a virtuous man and a pure-hearted man with few desires was broadcast everywhere by these ministers and wives, and the more and more divine it spread... But they don't know a simple truth: hypocrisy. In Wang Mang's smoke bombs, the eyes of the Han Dynasty people were almost all blinded...
With Wang Mang like this, Liu Xin knows that it is powerful. So the last time we had a meeting to discuss where Empress Dowager Fu lived, I didn't summon him. If he comes, the result of the four-person vote will not be a matter of 2:2, and the good deeds of Empress Dowager Fu will definitely be disturbed by Wang Mang!
Wang Mang had already missed it once, and this time he said that he would not let go of the opportunity to muddy the waters. So Wang Mang wrote to impeach Dong Hong, the Marquis of Gaochang who came from an unknown source, "The Empress Dowager is a noble title, and Dong Hong actually used the death of Qin as a metaphor, which is simply a great rebellion."
Sure enough, he is a master, and he is a heavy punch as soon as he makes a shot! In fact, Wang Mang's words are very unreliable. This death of Qin is not necessarily a shameful thing. If it is a shame, why did Liu Bang, the ancestor of the Han Dynasty, still copy the system of the Qin Dynasty and still use it until now?
The so-called truth is all decided by the strongman. It doesn't matter whether Dong Hong is a big rebel or not. The important thing is: Wang Mang said this! What made Liu Xin even more depressed was that not only Wang Mang, but also a strong man followed Wang Mang to coax!
Some people don't often walk in the rivers and lakes, but the rivers and lakes always circulate his legends. The person who jointly wrote the impeachment of Dong Hong with Wang Mang is unfamiliar to us, and he has not appeared in the camera before. But his Jianghu energy and firepower, that is something that no one dares to take lightly: Shi Dan!
In the Han Dynasty, most of the scholars who could squeeze into the officialdom were experts in the Four Books and the Five Classics, and among the many experts, Shi Dan was an absolutely outstanding one. The reason why he is excellent is because he followed the right teacher: Kuang Heng, who was famous for his research on the Book of Songs!
In the last years of Emperor Yuan, Shi Dan finally squeezed into the academic rivers and lakes with his world-class martial arts and was awarded the title of doctor. Soon, he was supported by Zhai Fangjin and Kong Guang, two seniors, and became a doctor of Guanglu. Later, Liu Biao established Liu Xin as the crown prince, and Liu Xin's two teachers in Dingtaoguo: Shaofu Yan Chong and Taifu Zhao Xuan gave Liu Xin different opinions, and as a result, Zhao Xuan was impeached and moved to Shaofu. And Guanglu Xun Shidan was named the crown prince. When Liu Xin officially became the emperor, his master Shi Dan was also polished, and he was named General Zuo, Marquis of Guannei, and Lingshangshu.
Liu Xin, who is a small ghost, knows that the world of the Han Dynasty today is not the world of the emperor, but the world of Wang's relatives! If you want to gain freedom in life and successfully establish your own relatives surnamed Fu and Ding, you must find a fierce pusher in the imperial court. Just like Wei Xiang assisted Liu Xun back then, they were interlocking, frightening step by step, and finally got rid of Huo's relatives!
Liu Xin pinned this great and arduous task on the body of his master Shi Dan. However, he unfortunately saw today: Shi Dan and Wang Mang are actually in the same group! In Wang Mang's impeachment of Dong Hong, Shi Dan also signed his name... This is really a sad and helpless reality!
Liu Xin finally discovered: He is new to the rivers and lakes, and he is not familiar with the doorway, and if he wants to get rid of Wang Mang's old rivers and lakes with all his strength, his strength is very tender. So what now? It's easy to do, run if you can't win. In addition to running, you can also compromise and admit defeat!
So under the joint efforts of Wang Mang and Shi Dan, Liu Xin was forced to remove Dong Hong as a civilian. Then he went to report to his grandmother, "In this round of the battle, I lost to Wang Mang. The reason for the loss is not that I Liu Xin is incompetent, but that the enemy Wang Mang is too strong, so let's do it for the time being."
But the old lady Fu didn't listen to this, she jumped up like an old hen, pointed at Liu Xin and scolded, "You're embarrassed to shirk!" The emperor of the Han Dynasty, the supreme in the world, I don't expect you to get rid of those old fritters all at once, but you won't even be able to keep Dong Hong, who speaks for you. You can be incompetent, but how can you be incompetent to such a point" After scolding, Old Lady Fu said in a non-negotiable tone, "No matter what means you use, anyway, I, the Central Queen Mother, are going to be decided"
Big trouble... Attacking back and forth, you can't dodge if you want to, and you can't get rid of it. At this time, Liu Xin suddenly thought of someone. If that person can't save himself, then he will be the emperor at the end...
The savior that Liu Xin thought of was the Empress Dowager Wang Zhengjun. As long as she nodded, even if Wang Mang raised a hundred objections, it would be useless... Thinking of this, the desperate Liu Xin seemed to see a glimmer of hope. So he immediately ran to Changxin Palace!
Soon, Liu Xin found out that he didn't run in vain. Wang Zhengjun is not easy to speak, but too good to speak! Wang Zhengjun told Liu Xin: "Your grandmother wants to improve her enjoyment, right?" That's it for her."
The first step was to order Liu Xin's late father, Liu Kang, the king of Dingtao, to be crowned Emperor Gong; In the second step, in May, Empress Dowager Fu was named Empress Dowager Gong, and Ding Ji was Empress Gong, and the treatment was the same as Wang Zhengjun and Zhao Feiyan respectively; In the third step, Wang Zhengjun made another big move: the relatives surnamed Fu and Ding, as long as they are still alive, will all be crowned marquis: first posthumously crown Emperor Fu's father as the Marquis of Chongzu, and Ding Ji's father as the Marquis of Baode. Empress Dowager Fu has no brothers, only three cousins: Fu Yan, Fu Xi, and Fu Shang. Feng Fu Yan was the Marquis of Kong, and Empress Ding had two brothers. The eldest brother Ding Zhong has died, and Ding Zhong's son Ding Man is the Marquis of Ping Zhou; Empress Ding's second brother Ding Ming was the Marquis of Yang'an. Zhao Feiyan's brother-in-law Zhao Qin is the Marquis of Xincheng.
On the 19th, Liu Xinli made Fu Yan's daughter the queen.
Doing this, Wang Zhengjun is really interesting. But she said, "What is this?" Give more! Wang Zhengjun sent someone to tell his nephew Wang Mang: Chang'an has nothing to do with you, please resign immediately and hand over power to the Fu family's relatives!
It really makes people wonder if the Queen Mother is in a mood. So many good things, all of them were handed over without discussion? Incredible! Liu Xin wanted to break his head, and he didn't understand what Wang Zhengjun wanted to do...
Liu Xin didn't understand, but Wang Mang seemed to understand his aunt very well. Like an obedient child, he wrote a letter of resignation, and without complaining, he asked the emperor for his resignation.
The generous Queen Mother and the calm Wang Mang behaved too abnormally, Liu Xin was suddenly scared, and couldn't help but put a question mark in his heart: Will there be ghosts in this?
The fist is retracted for a better shot; The snake's head is shrunk to accumulate more energy. Wang Zhengjun and Wang Mang seem to be generous, but in fact, they must be retreating strategically and accumulating the strength to counterattack!
If you follow the will of the Empress Dowager, what awaits Liu Xin will be a terrible trap... As soon as she thought of this, Liu Xin's heart beat faster and her feet cramped. Soon, however, he knew what to do!
Dogs bite when they are in a hurry. This is a very old truth, but many people do not understand it. Liu Xin understands this truth, but he only understands it in general, not very well. In Liu Xin's opinion, the Empress Dowager may have treated herself as a dog, thinking that she could coax him by constantly throwing some bones? If you think so, then the Queen Mother is wrong! Liu Xin decided: return these bones that were thrown!
When Wang Mang's resignation report was handed over to him, Liu Xin did not approve it, but sent Shang Shuling to summon Wang Mang back to work. Then he ordered Kong Guang, He Wu, Shi Dan, and Fu Xi, a relative of the Fu family who had just taken office, to go to Changxin Palace to ask the Empress Dowager for guilt and bring a message for herself, "The Empress Dowager ordered the Great Sima Wang Mang to resign, and I was very heartbroken when I heard about it. It's better to ask the Empress Dowager to call Da Sima back to work again. If Da Sima doesn't come back, I will also go on strike and go home, and I should not be the emperor."
After the Empress Dowager heard Liu Xin's meaning, she didn't say anything, so she sent someone to ask Wang Mang to come back to work. Wang Mang was also very well-behaved, and came back to work as if nothing had happened...
In June, Liu Xin issued an edict to dismiss the Yuefu officials.
In June, Liu Xin issued an edict to Liu Liang, the sixth grandson of Emperor Liu Qi of the Han Dynasty and the king of Hejian, to add 10,000 households, thinking that he was the instrument of the clan.
In June, Shi Dan Shangjuan asked for restrictions on land annexation, the liberation of slaves and maids, and the light punishment of small taxes in order to ease the people's power. After the meeting of the secretaries of the Han Dynasty, Prime Minister Kong Guang and Dasikong He Wu jointly requested: the princes, princes, and princesses were limited to fields. The number of princes, kings, slaves and maidservants shall not exceed 200; The number of princes and princesses shall not exceed 100. The land of the marquis, officials, and people shall not exceed 30 hectares; No more than 30 slaves and maids may be allowed. Merchants were not allowed to own land. The term is 3 years. After three years, the excess land, slaves and maids were all recovered by the state. However, this decree was united by the nobles and close Xi to oppose it, but in fact it was not implemented. What was actually implemented was another edict that read: "Stop the weaving and embroidery of the three officials." Repeal the Ren Zi Decree and the Defamation and Defamation Act. All the people under the age of 30 in the palace were sent out to marry. Officials and slaves over the age of 50 can be exempted from the status of slaves and maids and become concubines. Increase the income of a small official under 300 koku"
The struggle between the two factions of Fu and Wang made waves more than a month after Wang Mang returned to work. This time, Wang Mang was finally kicked out. The one who drove him out was not the king but the Fu.
Here's the thing: One day, Emperor Liu Xin of the Han Dynasty held a banquet in Weiyang Palace. When the palace internal affairs officer was arranging the seats, he placed the position of the Empress Dowager Fu next to the Empress Dowager.
When the big Sima Wang Mang came to inspect the venue, he called the internal affairs officer and scolded him, "The Empress Dowager Fu is still the empress dowager of the Tao Feng country, how can she be on an equal footing with the empress dowager of the central government" After scolding, Wang Mang asked the internal affairs officer to withdraw the seat of the Empress Dowager Fu below!
Soon, Empress Dowager Fu learned the news and trembled with anger. At the beginning, the Empress Dowager made it clear: I, the Empress Dowager Gong, enjoy the same treatment as her. So why can't you be on an equal footing?
Empress Dowager Fu refused to attend the banquet. At the same time, he also asked people to talk everywhere, saying that Wang Mang would not give himself face, and he would not give Wang Mang face!
When Wang Mang heard this, he smiled. Very good, Empress Dowager Fu has already been tricked!
Who is Wang Mang? The world's No. 1 show master! What is the show for? Political capital, of course. There are generally two kinds of shows: camouflage and selling straight. What does it mean to sell straight? It's just to be straight and dare to go against the evil forces! At the beginning, Wang Zhang had already thought about it before he impeached Wang Feng: even if he didn't bring him down, he would still be famous for eternity! So when his wife told him not to be impulsive, he said, "This is a great thing that a woman can understand."
Liu Xin and Empress Dowager Fu want to play, and Wang Mang will accompany them at any time! Wang Mang knew that Old Lady Fu was very vain, loved face, and couldn't tolerate sand in her eyes. That's why he deliberately hurt her! Such a move is not in the name of selling straight pictures. In fact, Wang Mang is in the name of selling straight, exploring the truth and the truth. He wanted to see how ruthless and skilled Empress Dowager Fu was? Now it seems that with Empress Dowager Fu's aggressive character, there is no need to worry about it at all. You jump yours, I play my...
