Wang Mang's surname is Wang Mang, and the word is Jujun.

His word is interesting, compared with the name, the word "giant" is close, and the word "jun" is not touched.

In 45 BC, Wang Mang was born in Yuancheng, Wei County (present-day Damingdong, Hebei Province).

He claimed to be a descendant of the Yellow Emperor, but there is no evidence for this, and there is no way to check it.

Wang Mang's father, Wang Man, was the younger brother of Wang Zhengjun, the empress of the former Han Yuan Emperor Liu Zheng. That is, for Wang Mang, Emperor Yuan of the Han Dynasty's wife is his aunt

Aunt, he is an authentic relative of Liu Han.

It's just that Wang Man died early and didn't catch up with the grand occasion of the Wang family's wanton marquis, so Wang Mang's family was relatively lonely in the early years.

But Wang Mang took greed as his nature, took stealing the country as his goal, and finally became a brother by means of hypocrisy, cunning, and cruelty, and was the most "successful" person in the old Wang family.

It is a pity that because the means he adopted in order to ascend to the throne were too despicable, the 15 years he was a brother was the most chaotic and dirty era of China's feudal society

First, the vast number of cadres and masses have suffered incomparably deeper, and the vast majority of scholars do not even recognize that these 15 years have been an independent dynasty.

Later, he himself died an undignified death.

The first brother should be in this position, miserable!

Since Emperor Xuan of the former Han Dynasty, Emperor Yuan, Emperor Cheng, and Emperor Mourning are not as good as one generation, and when they arrived at Emperor Ping, the national economy and people's livelihood were out of control.

As a brother, Emperor Yuan ignored political affairs and was obsessed with music.

Being obsessed with music isn't necessarily a bad thing, but it depends on what you do and how well you do it.

Emperor Yuan is not doing his job, he is a super music enthusiast, and he hands over his own work to the eunuchs, and his performance is a mess.

Emperor Cheng was obsessed with wine, and the Zhao Feiyan sisters often coaxed him into a daze. He handed over his own work to his relatives, Lao Wang's family, to do.

Politics is darker.

Emperor Wai was homosexual, and handed over his own work to comrade Dong Xian to do, and just played by himself.

This Dong Xian, a gentleman with a beautiful woman's appearance, is a straw bag in addition to eating, drinking and sleeping with Emperor Mourning, and the national politics are bad under his fiddling

to the extreme.

Think about how many people in history in order to ascend to the throne and become a brother, I don't know how many people risked breaking their bones and even connecting the nine clans, racking their brains and playing tricks

, ran through thousands of mountains and rivers, endured thousands of hardships, went through thousands of difficulties and dangers, and the real success is only those few people, they also have to have God's special care,

Give a chance.

Being a brother is tempting, but it is also very risky. If it is not a family heirloom, it is extremely risky to have to grab it yourself. The vast majority of the emperor's sons were not in charge

Emperor. And once he gets this position, he will not only be prosperous and rich, but also create history.

Therefore, as long as there are huge profits, there are always people grabbing high-risk positions.

Therefore, no matter who becomes a brother, you must do a good job!

However, Emperor Yuan, Emperor Cheng, and Emperor Mourning don't know how to cherish their own work, and they leave it to others to do it with confidence, and they never evaluate their performance

It is really a disaster for the country and the people!

At the same time, these men are too unsure of cherishing their position, which makes many people itch for this position, and attracts many people to want to grab this position.

Regarding Wang Mang's usurpation of the Han Dynasty, I heard my grandfather tell a story when I was just remembering. Later, I also listened to the teacher's lectures, and also from many works

Seen.

This is actually a myth and legend, "Historical Records. It is also recorded in the Gaozu Benji:

Before Liu Bang's career, he was the chief of the Surabaya Pavilion in his hometown Pei County, which is equivalent to today's head of the township public security police station.

One year, Liu Bang was ordered by the official government to take a group of migrant workers to the west to repair the Qin Emperor's mausoleum, passing by Mangshan (in present-day Yongcheng, Henan Province).

There are about 10 not-so-high peaks in a row.

As he was walking, a large white python blocked the way.

Liu Bang was originally a strong and bold person, and he pulled out his sword to kill.

The white snake was busy begging for mercy, but Liu Bang didn't allow it.

So, the white snake told Liu Bang:

"You will be the honor of the world in the future, with the land of the four seas and the people of the whole world, if you want to kill me, I will always make trouble with you, and if you cut off my head, I will make trouble for you

Head, if you cut off my tail, I'll make trouble with your tail. ”

Liu Bang was not a person who could stand the threat, so he resolutely swung his sword, his hand rose and fell, and the white snake was stopped and cut off.

Although the white snake was cut into two pieces, he still didn't follow, crying and shouting for Liu Bang to return his life.

Liu Bang was in a hurry, and he impatiently coped with a sentence:

"I'll pay you back on the flat ground."

Later, the Liu Han Empire was in turmoil between the former Han and the Later Han, and Wang Mang made a 15-year-old short-lived new dynasty to intervene.

It is said that Wang Mang, the producer and producer of this dynasty, is the reincarnation of the white snake.

Wang Mang was an official in politics when he was Emperor Cheng of the former Han Dynasty, and he began to make trouble when he became Huangmenxuan, and he succeeded when he was Emperor Ping of the former Han Dynasty.

This, I don't know if it is in response to Liu Bang's words when he beheaded the white snake, "Go to the flat land (Emperor Ping) and then pay you back".

It's just a legend, you don't have to take it too seriously.

Today, in Mangshan, Yongcheng City, Henan Province, there is also a tourist attraction named "Han Gaozu Snake Cutting Place".

This is on a flat ground surrounded by mountains, there is a painted hexagonal pavilion, in which stands a large stone stele, which is engraved with several big characters "Han Gaozu cut the snake".

It seems to be like this during the day, but at night it is very wonderful, saying that when the lights are on, an ancient warrior standing with a sword can be faintly seen on the stone tablet

It is the manifestation of Liu Bang, the ancestor of the Han Dynasty.

Okay, let's move on to Wang Mang's aunt.

As mentioned earlier, because Wang Mang died early, his family background in his early years was still poor compared to his uncles and uncles.

However, her aunt Wang Zhengjun married so well that it was difficult for her mother's male to soar without flying to the top.

In fact, Wang Zhengjun's marriage to Emperor Yuan was really an accident among accidents, but this accident rewrote history to a large extent.

The reason why I even checked Wang Mang's aunt was because without her, there would be nothing about Wang Mang.

She achieved Wang Mang, and together with Wang Mang, prepared the social environment for Liu Xiu to start his journey to the world.

Wang Zhengjun's father, Wang Banguan, went to Tingwei Shi, he had a group of wives and concubines, and had 4 daughters and 8 sons. Wang Zhengjun was born to him and his wife, and he was also his second

Girl.

This second Miss Wang grew up with a supple personality and was very polite, and Wang Ban intended to cling to the powerful through her, so he constantly strengthened her education and tried every possible way

Marry her to Liu Yu, the king of Dongping.

However, before Miss Wang Er passed the door, Liu Yu died.

It's a pity that Wang Ban found someone to calculate a few hexagrams, and they all said that these two girls will be unspeakably expensive in the future.

Wang Ban was secretly happy, not discouraged, and continued to teach the second girl to read and practice the piano very carefully.

When the second girl reached the age of 18, Wang Ban sent her to the harem court, looking for an opportunity to see if she could get the emperor's favor.

At that time, there were too many girls who wanted to be favored by the emperor, so Wang Ban had to wait in line with his second girl.

Wang Ban has been an official in the imperial court for many years, and he knows the benefits of glory and wealth, and has made up his mind to climb the dragon and attach the phoenix through the second girl.

It doesn't matter, just wait slowly, sooner or later there will be a chance.

Wang Ban felt that whether it was the emperor or the crown prince, no, other men in the royal family would also be, and whoever wanted a second girl would do it!

As long as the second girl marries into the royal family, our old Wang family will immediately be different from ordinary cadres.

More than a year later, a woman surnamed Sima who was favored by Emperor Xuan's crown prince Liu Zheng died. Before she died, she told the prince that her death was not God's decision

, it was the other women around the prince who secretly cursed to death.

This was pure nonsense, obviously the woman's nonsense out of jealousy and other dark psychology, but the prince actually believed it.

Because the prince liked Sima Nu too much, he decided that none of the original concubines were allowed to see him again.

This prince is more interested in music than he is in being an emperor, and he is also a very emotional person.

Of course, the pillow wind is often invincible.

Although the crown prince was willful, his father Emperor Xuan was anxious when he found out about this: what should I do after I get rid of the Liu Han clan like this?

So, Emperor Xuan arranged for the queen, that is, the prince's mother, to choose a few girls from the harem who were waiting in a long line to send them to his son.

Wang Zhengjun happens to be among these girls.

On this day, I don't know if the prince is still immersed in the nostalgia for Sima Nu, or for what reason, anyway, he is not interested in the girls sent by his mother.

However, he didn't want to ruin his parents' fun, so he casually said that he liked one of them.

Of course, he was purely coping.

Because under the guidance of Wang Ban, Wang Zhengjun wanted to support the royal man and had been thinking about it for a long time. On this day, she was dressed in a distinctly different outfit, just in time

was closest to the crown prince, and the queen thought that her son chose Wang Zhengjun, so she left her to serve the prince.

In this way, Wang Zhengjun was accidentally and fortunately sent to the imperial womb.

Speaking of which, I can't help but mention one more thing to my friends, which shows how much Liu Zheng has brought to our history if he didn't grasp the issue of women

Trouble, of course, also leaves a sigh for the ages.
