14. The second step, deceive the honor and promote the "Anhan Gong"

Here we have to explain a little that although Wang Mang at this time has actually controlled the state authority, he also knows that the people of the whole country have not completely given up

Han Chamber.

In other words, he knew that although he had the ability to slap Emperor Ping to cry and run away, if he sat directly in that position, everyone would still be there

If you are not mentally prepared, you may not be able to accept it for a while.

Since you can't give up your identity as a part-time worker for the Han family, you still have to try to retain the title of the highest-level hypocrite for the time being.

Looking at the big brother next to him, it's really anxious!

Wang Mang excluded dissidents, and his power was overwhelming, and there were naturally people around him who tended to be inflammatory.

Whoever obeys Wang Mang will rise to the top, and whoever offends him will quickly perish.

Wang Mang wants such a situation.

Of course, he has to go even further.

Wang Mang's party was the same and promoted a large number of those who were willing to be loyal.

Unlike other conspirators, whenever he wants to do something, he always has to put on a posture of being dedicated to the Han family and the public. He has private requests

, let the party henchmen play Wang Zhengjun, and he kowtowed and wept, repeatedly pushed, deceived the empress dowager, and deceived the vast number of cadres and the masses.

("The upper is to confuse the Queen Mother, and the lower is to show trust in the public").

In 1 A.D., Wang Mang instructed his henchmen to play Wang Zhengjun, saying that his achievements in governing the country were comparable to those of Zhou Gong, and he should at least be like Xiao He and Huo Guang

Reward, he should be respected as "An Han Gong".

Wang Zhengjun asked the minister about this, and naturally he applauded, so he arranged to go through the organizational procedures and go through the formalities.

At this time, Wang Mang stood up and said modestly that now the national situation is so good, and the work is done by everyone.

It is what should be done to determine the world, and I hope to commend everyone more, and don't make credit for yourself.

He pushed back many times, and it was not until Wang Zhengjun promoted Kong Guang and others to the rank that he accepted the title of "Duke of Anhan".

But at the same time, Wang Mang demanded that the land that had been sealed to him be returned to the imperial court, saying that he wanted to distribute these lands to the common people who needed it more.

How's that, you see?

If you come here, you will see through Wang Mang, I am not only referring to the correct history and textbooks, congratulations, you are a master.

If you haven't seen him through here, I'm not just referring to the official history and the textbooks, but that's okay, let's move on.

While Wang Mang returned the land to the imperial court, he arranged for his cronies to encourage the vast number of cadres and masses to write a letter to complain about his grievances.

According to historical records, at this time, because Wang Mang pushed the sealed land, there were as many as 487572 cadres and masses who complained about grievances to the imperial court.

There is no way, the relevant information is so accurate.

These letters say one after another that Comrade Wang Mang has devoted himself to the public interest and made great contributions to the world, and he should have received the highest praise from the state, but now he has selflessly dedicated himself to what he does

Well, the country can't treat such a good leader badly!

What's more, some princes and important ministers met Wang Zhengjun and kowtowed one after another, asking the imperial court to further increase the praise of An Hangong.

As for Wang Mang, he is still pushing hard: I have won the award, I have won the award, this is what I should do.

Wang Zhengjun has been in power for many years, and historians have mixed reviews of her, but what we want to say is that she is at best a profit grabber and distributor.

Her political bottom line is: her in-laws' family can't change their surnames, otherwise they have nowhere to put and their faces are too ugly; The interests of the mother's family should be ensured, for the sake of this whom

Whoever gets in the way will be cleaned up.

Who is not selfish? I'm just a little heavier.

Therefore, she always opposed any act of changing the surname of the Liu family, and insisted that she was the "old widow of the Han family" until her death; She has always been working for her mother's family

Take the best interests and hand over almost all important positions to the men of the mother's family to take care of.

At this time, when she saw this situation, she adopted a way to get the best of both worlds, on the one hand, she respected Wang Mang's opinion and did not seal his land, and on the other hand

Let the ministers discuss the preparation of the ceremony of "Nine Tin", and see if they can award him the highest national award in ancient legends at the right time.

The so-called "Jiuxi", also known as "Jiuxi's life", is said to be the ancient imperial court rewarded ministers with 9 kinds of goods or treatment, which is the highest reward of the state to individuals.

The records of these nine items or treatments vary from the "Rites of the Week" and other texts, and there is no record of the implementation of this reward.

Based on the analysis of relevant historical data, we believe that this is probably just a ceremonial term.

However, Wang Mang wants to turn it into reality.

Because any honor is important to a hypocrite, not to mention the supremacy of this kind of national award, and now is the time to put it to use.

Seeing that the Empress Dowager's attitude was clear, the ministers quickly agreed on relevant matters, and jointly requested that this highest-level national award be awarded to Wang Mang as soon as possible.

As many as 902 imperial court ministers and local dignitaries wrote this joint letter.

There is no way, the historical records are so accurate.

We do not have an exact figure on the personnel establishment of the imperial court at that time, but it is completely certain that there were so many ministers who joined the court to play the game, and it can almost be said that they were unanimously supportive

Protected.

As a result, Wang Mang accepted this special commendation steadily.

Wang Mang was the first to open this ceremony.

However, it is very funny and unfortunate, because Wang Mang's character is too selfish and cruel, too hypocritical and treacherous, and his methods are too despicable and shameless.

Jia Jiuxi" This is a complimentary ceremony that is considered to be the prelude to the conspiracy of the ministers of the past dynasties to usurp the throne, and the ministers who really have ideas about the position of the first brother are afraid to avoid it.

In this way, a good national ceremony and an elegant national award were ruined by Wang Mang.

Sad, Wang Mang.

It is said that the position and the great Sima general, the auxiliary government in charge of the country, the crown of An Han Gong and the honor of Jia Jiu Xi on their heads, are great successes in life. However, Wang Mang's desire for power has not stopped, otherwise he would not be Wang Mang.

In order to consolidate his power in order to engage in conspiracy, in 3 AD, Wang Mang changed his tricks to marry his daughter who was only more than 10 years old to Emperor Ping as his daughter-in-law.

became the queen of Xiaoping, and she became the national ruler.

However, at this time, his desire for power has not stopped, otherwise he would not be Wang Mang.

Wang Mang saw that Wang Zhengjun was old at this time and was tired of government affairs, so he secretly instigated his henchmen to play, saying:

The Empress Dowager takes good care, the major affairs of the imperial court, except for the appointment and dismissal of senior cadres, you must ask for your permission in advance, and the rest will be handed over to An Han Gong to deal with, and it will be done generally

The use of the ministry and the handling of the daily affairs of the state were also handed over to An Han Gong.

Wang Zhengjun agreed to the minister's request.

Since then, Wang Mang, the Duke of An Han, has been almost the same as a normal emperor.

No way! Almost no, the conspiracy is ongoing, and we have to keep trying.

I'm sorry, the year Wang Mang became Emperor Ping's father-in-law, Liu Xiu was only 8 years old.

It was this year that Liu Xiu's father Liu Qin died of illness while serving as the magistrate of Nanton County, and his mother Fan Xian had no choice but to take him and several brothers and sisters with him

My sister defected to her uncle Liu Liang, who was the county magistrate in Xiao County.

Wang Mang would never have dreamed that the few inkmarks left on the historical picture scroll by his breastfeeding efforts would be wiped off by this child in the future, and they would be disabled

The ink was thrown in his face.
