In 7 BC, Emperor Cheng died and mourned the emperor.

Emperor Wai didn't like Wang's relatives very much, dismissed Wang Mang, and drove him out of the capital and returned to his fiefdom in Nanyang Xinye.

There are complex struggles between the royal family and their relatives, and they are all very complicated twists and turns.

Speaking of which, I'm also very conflicted, let's go into detail, everyone is anxious, because everyone is waiting to see the performance of the actor Liu Xiu; Let's go through it, a lot

The problems are not clear, not to mention that these problems are all related to Wang Mang's usurpation of the Han Dynasty and Liu Xiu's destruction of Mang's Zhongxing.

However, since Liu Xiu was not born until 2 years later (5 BC), you can't see his performance no matter how anxious you are, so let's take a look at these early appearances first

Let's play a little bit of a role. More importantly, Liu Xiu's road to domination of the world is based on earnestly learning from the experience of the previous dynasty and carefully absorbing the lessons of the previous dynasty

Go down.

Emperor Cheng had a romantic life, but he reigned for 25 years but had no heirs.

Especially the sisters Zhao Feiyan and Zhao Hede, who were favored by Emperor Cheng for more than ten years and did not give birth to anything.

A few years before Emperor Cheng's death, seeing that no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't give birth to a son, and the people who were hot at his job gradually became restless and pressed

Not stopped.

People who have always wanted to get the job of a brother have taken a variety of means, but there are no more than two categories: inheritance by people from their own family, and robbery by people with foreign surnames.

Unlike Wang Mang, who wants to have crooked ideas, there is a family surnamed Liu who wants to go through the normal organizational procedures.

Liu Xin, the grandson of Emperor Yuan Zhaoyi and the son of Liu Kang, the king of Dingtao, grew up day by day, and his grandmother Fu and mother Ding felt that they were at home with Emperor Cheng

The family relationship is good, and he has set his sights on the position of the emperor, and constantly gives gifts to the Zhao sisters, asking them to persuade Emperor Cheng to make Liu Xin the crown prince.

The Zhao sisters felt that they just wanted to have fun with Emperor Cheng, but they couldn't give birth to anything, and they felt ashamed, and they got the benefits of others, so they tried their best to persuade Cheng

Emperor appointed Liu Xin as the crown prince.

In fact, Emperor Cheng and Liu Kang were half-brothers, and the relationship between the two has always been very good, and he has always liked Liu Xin, a nephew, plus pillow wind

Blowing, it was decided to make Liu Xin the prince, and he would not do it in the future, or he would not be able to do it, so he would hand over the work to Liu Xin.

What should be explained here is that Emperor Cheng did this, and he also got the consent of his mother, the Empress Dowager Wang Zhengjun.

Although Wang Zhengjun handed over the big work of governing the country to her mother's family, there is one principle that she has always grasped very tightly, that is, she can do it at any time

is the daughter-in-law of the Liu family, and when the mother-in-law's family does not do these big jobs or can't take care of them, the mother's family will do them again; Moreover, no matter how hard the mother's fist is, it can't be allowed

The in-laws' family changed their surnames.

Therefore, Emperor Yuan has been dead for many years, and Wang Zhengjun has not remarried.

Later, her nephew Wang Mang succeeded in usurping Han as the first brother, and she insisted that she would always be the daughter-in-law of the Liu family ("the old widow of the Han family").

Liu Xin is the Emperor of Mourning, when he ascended the throne, his grandmother Fu and mother Ding were there, and the Fu family and the Ding family immediately became prominent relatives.

In this way, there will inevitably be a fierce conflict between the two new relatives and the old relatives of the Wang family in the distribution of interests.

However, the greatest sorrow of Emperor Wai is that although he became a first brother, he did not have the minimum political literacy to be a first brother.

Emperor Shi Zaiai received a good Confucian education from an early age, and was good at writing and law. At the same time, he lived a very simple life, not good for women and pleasures, but by nature

Lack of masculinity.

In the face of the decline of Liu Han Building, he once wanted to make a difference, but the complex social situation, the bad political ecology, and the heavy national affairs

It all daunted him.

In just the handling of two things, everyone can see that he is destined to be a passerby in the political arena of the empire.

One is that he pampered Dong Xian uncontrollably, and he also had homosexuality with Dong.

Dong Xian was originally a Lang official, because he looked like a beautiful woman, and he usually paid attention to his appearance, Emperor Wai loved him very much, he was inseparable, and he even ate and slept

Together.

In fact, people were tolerant enough about the emperor's private life, but homosexuality was too advanced to gain people's approval at the time.

The broad masses of cadres and the masses in the government and the opposition have been discussing one after another.

What makes it even more difficult for everyone to accept is that Emperor Wai not only played cool with Xiao Dong, but also handed over the country's major affairs to Xiao Dong to play.

Emperor Wai continued to promote Dong Xian until he replaced Wang Mang as the assistant general of the Great Sima and handled the daily government affairs.

That's not all, Emperor Wai still feels that the use of Xiao Dong is not in place, and even plans to give up the big position to him; Keep rewarding him, trillions and billions are not too much

； Protect him everywhere, and whoever wants to say a word about him will be reprimanded at least and removed from office at worst.

Even his uncle Ding Minggang showed that he was overly favored by Dong Xian, and was reprimanded by Emperor Wai and stripped of his official position.

Emperor Wai, a rare brother who is carried away by "love"!

However, Dong Xian is really just a straw bag, and he has nothing to do except accompany Emperor Mourning to eat and sleep.

It is conceivable how the government is doing.

The second thing is to deal with the relationship with the Wang family.

Since the Wang family ascended the throne as emperor, Wang Zhengjun was the queen mother, and Wang Feng served as the assistant general of the Great Sima for 26 years, and the power inside and outside the court was very strong

, the relationship with other powerful people is intricate and intertwined.

Being an enemy of the Wang family is not an option for Emperor Wai at all.

Although Emperor Wai provoked Wang Mang, while issuing an edict to remove him from his position, he also praised Wang's relatives for their merits in the political state, and at the same time crowned the king

350 households in Mangshiyi as a consolation.

He didn't dare to attack the other Wang forces. Especially for Wang Zhengjun, he didn't dare to touch her in the slightest, and still respected her as the empress dowager and made her authoritative and glorious

As before.

This undoubtedly left enough opportunities and stages for Wang Mang to make a comeback and make a comeback.

Wang Mang returned to Nanyang Xinye, very low-key. He felt that as long as his aunt was there, his political winter would always pass, and we'd see!

Therefore, he usually keeps his door behind closed doors, so as not to cause trouble.

He was very angry in his heart, thinking about how many years he had worked hard to finally get the title of the highest-level hypocrite, but he had just been in the court

showed his face for a while, but he didn't lose much benefit, and the little salary he raised was used to attract people. Even if you don't have this title, with your aunt being the queen mother,

If you don't go for it, you have to have a good glory and wealth.

He is also very unrelenting, thinking that the power center is so desirable, and the Liu family members who are sitting in that seat are so uneasy about their own work and anxious

O man!

At the same time, Wang Mang felt that he still had more opportunities, and decided to do more things that were in line with his identity as a hypocrite.

He worked hard to protect his image as a hypocrite, befriended scholars, sold his reputation, and watched the movements of the court every moment.

One day, his second son, Wang Shu, killed one of his slaves. In today's world, killing pays for life. But at that time, the powerful under the turbid world

Home, it's not a big deal. But Wang Mang was afraid of giving people a handle, affecting the image of a hypocrite, and forcing Wang to commit suicide to apologize.

Wang Mang's actions in the performance of his duties as a hypocrite have earned him a great reputation. and then put him with those guys who are not virtuous and talentless and are still in high positions

Comparatively, more and more people are complaining about his dismissal.

In 2 BC, a solar eclipse appeared, which, according to fashion, was not an auspicious sign.

Zhou Hu and others, who were in the imperial court's countermeasures, made a big fuss and took the opportunity to make a good deal for Wang Mang's evaluation, saying that it was not good for such cadres, and God couldn't stand it.

Emperor Wai had no intention of and did not dare to be ruthless to Wang Mang, and now he was forced to summon Wang Mang back to Beijing under pressure.

However, Emperor Wai also kept a hand, but only let him serve the Empress Dowager, and did not arrange a position for him.

In 1 AD, Wang Mang returned to Beijing for more than a year, and Emperor Wai, who had reigned for only 6 years, died at the age of 26. Before this, Emperor Mourning's grandmother, the Empress Dowager Fu Shihe

His mother and the Empress Dowager Ding have all passed away one after another.

The passer-by Emperor Wai and his relatives of Fu and Ding disappeared from the center of the imperial political arena.

On the day of Emperor Mourning's death, Wang Mang's aunt and nephew robbed it!

The court is so weak, the power is so tempting, the Wang family can't be polite to anything!

First, Wang Zhengjun personally came to Weiyang Palace to collect the emperor's seal, and then immediately sent someone to summon Wang Mang into the palace and let him control the government.

Wang Mang was not far behind, quickly received Dong Xian's letter, and arranged for someone to quickly find a reason to punish him.

He immediately applied to his aunt and offered to return to work.

Wang Zhengjun approved his nephew's report as soon as possible.

Because Emperor Mourning had no children, Wang Zhengjun's aunt and nephew urgently discussed and decided to choose a young and easy bully from among the other descendants of the Liu family to take the big position

I just played with it myself.

It is Liu Yan, the son of Liu Xing, the king of Zhongshan!

Don't be stunned, let this kid ascend the throne and be called Emperor Ping.

Wang Zhengjun listened to the government as the empress dowager, and the daily work of the court was handled by Wang Mang.

Originally, our old Wang family has held power for more than 20 years, and has been acting as a prestige and has not made a major accident, but Emperor Mourning has inserted a lever from it!

I've endured it for 6 years, it's too urgent!

Since power is such a good thing and so easy to lose, my aunt and nephew feel that they really can't be more humble and polite!

Wang Mang was more anxious than his aunt:

I'm sorry everyone, power is so tempting, I'd rather lose my title as the highest-level hypocrite, and I have to be a brother!
