80. Chapter 18 The Late Period of "Bad Money".
Nowo
In February 24 AD, when Liu Xiu encountered great difficulties in opening up Hebei, the puppet emperor Liu Xuan and the tricksters behind him decided to move from Luoyang
Du Chang'an.
In fact, Luoyang is a good place, as an important town in the Central Plains and a military fortress, it is very suitable to be the capital.
In particular, the first dynasty has just been opened for one year, and the capital Luoyang has just been established for more than 100 days
It is a good choice to deploy, carry out political strategies, and appease the people of the world.
In other words, if you start from the needs of work, it is already very good for the First Dynasty to work in Luoyang.
However, these "bad coins" of the First Dynasty still decided to move to Chang'an, mainly out of this consideration.
First, Chang'an, as the former capital of the Western Han Dynasty, has always been the center of the world in the minds of the people.
The former Han Dynasty took Chang'an as the capital for 214 years, and Wang Mang was here for 15 years
It is a signboard for the revival of the Han family, so the office should be moved there.
Of course, as for how the former Han Dynasty was governed, how it survived for more than 200 years, and how Wang Mang ended it quickly, we don't know
I want to know, but I don't care.
Second, with the help of the common people in the capital area, the tour group of the Founding Coalition led by Li Song and Shen Tujian occupied Chang'an and cut Wang Mang quickly
The relationship with the local cadres and masses was extremely tense, and there was a strong demand that the first dynasty move the capital to Chang'an to solve this thorny problem.
You may still remember that in August last year, Li Song and Shen Tujian relied entirely on the help of grassroots cadres and ordinary people in the capital area to enter easily
Chang'an pressed the last straw on Wang Mang.
In this process, some of the local cadres and masses organized themselves spontaneously, some gathered for self-respect, and some followed the crowd, and many called themselves "Han generals."
They threw their heads into the anti-Mang torrent, and in addition to their bitter hatred for Wang Mang's regime, they also harbored expectations for the new regime. They expected to defeat the king
Reckless, it can bring a good life to everyone, and can give the leader of the anti-reckless people to worship the official knight.
However, at the beginning, they did not come up with mature policies and measures for the capital area, and Li Song and Shen Tujian were not decent cadres.
They fully carried forward the characteristics of the "bad money" at the beginning - stupid and cruel, as soon as they saw that Wang Mang was finished, they immediately unloaded the mill and killed the donkey, and quickly cut down the most reckless accumulation
Extremely famous figures, such as Wang Xian.
In terms of propaganda and ideological work, they said that the people in the capital area were very treacherous, and they collaborated to kill their master, Wang Mang. What they mean by this,
It is more than the beginning of the attack on these people who call themselves "Han Generals".
The vast number of cadres and masses in the capital area were very panicked and gathered in groups one after another to resist the first army.
In this way, in the Chang'an area, Li Song and Shen Tujian soon succeeded in making the broad masses of cadres and masses enemies.
What's worse is that if you can't control Chang'an, it will be difficult for Luoyang to be peaceful.
Third, in the eyes of the "bad money" at the beginning, Chang'an is really the best place to enjoy yourself more than Luoyang.
According to the report, Chang'an has been the capital for hundreds of years, and the infrastructure such as the city walls and palaces is far from being comparable to other cities. Right now, except for Weiyang Palace, it is being chased by the people
Wang Mang burned down, and other palaces, yamen, roads, equipment, and even warehouses were intact, and even the market was basically the same.
What a place of pleasure!
Li Song and Shen Tujian sent people from Chang'an to send the emperor's carriages, horses, clothes and other luxury goods, and asked Liu Xuan to move the capital to Chang'an, which tickled everyone's hearts
Itchy.
What are you still rubbing, let's move!
Liu Xuan and others came to Chang'an, and they were very happy to see that it was exactly as the report said.
Liu Xuan himself lived in the undamaged Changle Palace.
He used the palace supplies used by Wang Mang, such as the chariots, curtains, bells and drums, utensils, etc., all of which were directly used.
Of course, there are also thousands of palace maids from Wang Mang, and he also accepts them all.
In Chang'an, when Liu Xuan first made the early dynasty, the location was in the front hall, and in addition to the senior cadres of the first dynasty, there were also retained and the former Wang Mangzhong
Professional and technical cadres of central organs (attendants, lang officials, etc.).
Although he has been emperor for 1 year, he has never really lived the organizational life of the emperor - regularly attending the morning court, accepting worship, and discussing major affairs in the court.
Because, he is just a puppet of Wang Kuang, Zhu Kun, Zhang Wei and others, and he is a tricker.
At the same time, those people were also reckless, they had never seen any court ceremonies, they only believed in fists and guns, and they didn't take any etiquette seriously.
Now it's different, when you enter a big city, everyone has an official position, and everything has to be done as if it were real.
Since he had never seen or experienced the emperor's court, Liu Xuan was very nervous.
He is very weak-hearted, embarrassed, this seat is not mine, and I don't have to sit it.
He was scared, embarrassed, I won't embarrass everyone, I have something to say.
He was embarrassed in the face of the old and new courtiers, and he didn't dare to look up at everyone, his fingers scraping around on his seat, looking guilty and self-ashamed.
Just as he was embarrassed, a few late generals came, and he blurted out and asked:
"How many more did you grab?"
The senior military and political cadres of the First Dynasty did not feel that there was anything wrong with hearing this, because since the incident, beating Wang Mang and stealing things have been the main tasks.
And the professional and technical cadres of the former Wang Mang central organs who were retained were stunned, you look at me, I look at you.
(Even more ashamed, bowing his head and scratching the mat did not dare to look.) The generals who came later, even began to ask how much the captivity was, and the left and right attendants were all palace officials for a long time, and they looked at each other in shock. )
Although these people know that robbing things is not the exclusive preserve of robbers, in this era when those who steal hooks are punished and those who steal the country are princes, robbing and stealing have become the norm in society
However, it is still very funny to say it from the mouth of an incumbent emperor and in public.
When Wang Mang was in office, he also grabbed everything, but people just didn't say it, no, people said it too, and it was better to say it than to sing, and he said everything
It is for the common people of the world.
Now, it's really shocking and blushing!
Next, Liu Xuan and others took a closer look in Chang'an, and felt even more dazzled: the big city is so beautiful! The house (palace) is too big! In the palace,
The furnishings in the yamen are too luxurious! This meal and this dish are so delicious! There are also thousands of palace maids, who are too good-looking compared to village girls and village women!
