I don't know if everyone still has an impression of Wang Mang's eldest son Wang Yu, a few years ago, he was forced to commit suicide by his father because he was dissatisfied with his father's atrocities. Now, his

His son, Wang Zong, who is also Wang Mang's grandson, grew up.

His parents were forced to commit suicide by his grandfather, and it is impossible for Wang Zong not to know.

and his uncle Lu Kuan and hundreds of relatives and friends, who were also killed by his grandfather.

Wang Zong was very dissatisfied with his grandfather's approach.

He didn't imagine that his father would sue his grandfather behind his back, it would be too dangerous.

He thought, it's better to simply replace grandpa and be a brother!

He also considered that he might be alone on his own, but his uncles and cousins had almost ruined his grandfather, so he secretly talked to his grandmother

The people of the grandfather and uncle's family discussed to see how to get the grandfather out of power.

After some conspiracy, Wang Zong even prepared the seal and standard statue of the first brother.

He painted a full-length portrait of himself wearing the emperor's overalls, and engraved three seals indicating that he had taken the initiative to become the emperor, and his intention could not be more obvious.

But somehow, things leaked.

Wang Mang was furious: A little fart, the fetal hair has not dried yet, and he wants to be the emperor!

This little bunny, do you have my black heart?! Do you have me as hypocritical?! Do you have me shameless?! It's been a few years since the case, and I'm still thinking about your dead old man

Uncle, are you cruel to me?!

As a result, Wang Mang ordered Wang Zong and related personnel to be strictly investigated, others beheaded others, and Wang Zong committed suicide.

Although Wang Mang's heart is more vicious than that of snakes and scorpions, he never lets outsiders do anything when he kills his children and grandchildren, and orders them to commit suicide: drink poison, hang themselves, and kill themselves

You can choose any one.

After all, it's a master!

Wang Zong's case dealt a great blow to Wang Mang. He felt that not only relatives like Liu Xin and cronies like Zhen Feng were unreliable, but even his children and grandchildren were not at all

Believed.

What's even more terrifying is that his son Wang Yu just complained to the Queen Mother behind his back, and then made the child disgusted and disgusted by his uncle Lu Kuan, and his grandmother's

Wang Zong wants to directly replace himself, and this is still necessary!

Wang Mang thought that since his children and grandchildren were unreliable, it was better to abolish their "martial arts (the ability to rebel)" and drive them away from him.

In the autumn of 20 A.D., that is, when the Green Forest Army and the Red Eyebrow Army were having a good time, Liu Xiu left Chang'an Taixue and had nowhere to find employment and returned to his hometown to farm again

The hurricane blew Wang Lutang down.

Wang Lutang is the front hall of Weiyang Palace, and Wang Mang changed the name.

Of course, this is just a natural disaster, and Wang Mang has to make a big deal.

He took advantage of the topic and fabricated a sprinkled edict, saying that in the arrangement of the prince, because of the elder and the younger, God was angry and put the king on the road

The downfall is a warning and must be taken seriously.

In fact, as we said earlier, although Wang Mang had 4 sons, his sons were obviously not enough when he was emperor:

The eldest son Wang Yu and the second son Wang Shu have been forced to commit suicide, and the third son Wang An was so frightened that he was delirious, and only the fourth son Wang Lin was appointed as the crown prince.

Now it seems that Wang An and Wang Lin may not be reliable.

So, taking the opportunity of this strong wind blowing down the house, Wang Mang announced: Abolish the crown prince Wang Lin, demote him to the king of Tongyiyang, and drive him out of the capital; At the same time, depreciating "Xinjia."

"Wang An was the new king and was also expelled from the capital.

This is bitter for the queen Wang, let's call her Wang Mang's wife, or Wang's.

Because Wang Mang said that the emperor historian did not admit it, the skin does not exist, and the hair will be attached? I've searched almost all the history books, and I haven't found anyone who officially calls his wife, Wang

For the Queen's.

As early as when Wang Mang successively forced his sons Wang Shu and Wang Yu to death, and another son Wang An was frightened crazy, the Wang family was grief-stricken. Several of his children were fathered

The husband is forced to die, and ordinary people can't bear it. When her grandson Wang Zong was also forced to die, she was already grief-stricken!

We have not met Wang, and there are very few historical records of her.

I think she is likely to be an ordinary and low-key woman, otherwise Wang Mang's family is so exposed that it is impossible for the historian to ignore her.

It's just that she is too unlucky, as Wang Mang's wife, she can only cry except to give birth to Wang Mang.

We can also conclude that her relationship with her husband is very ordinary, otherwise Wang Mang would not marry other women openly and steal secretly, and we will ask for it later

Say this.

When Wang found out how many children she had and how much her husband had ruined, and how many children her husband had ruined again, her spirit collapsed!

As Wang Mang's wife, when Wang Mang was in order to climb up Taoguang to raise obscurity, she lived a servant-like life, which we have all introduced. After Wang Mang became a brother,

She had scavenged too much and had no problem living her life to the fullest extent, but she was not happy, because she washed her face with tears all day long, and her eyes wept

Blind.

In terms of spirit alone, Wang Mang is indeed too tired, he is so tired that people despise him; Wang is also too tired, so tired that people are speechless!

Speaking of this, I can't help but think of the eternal question of life: What is happiness?

Which is happier, a happy poor man or a miserable rich man?

How can we be materially rich and spiritually happy people?

This proposition may have different interpretations in different eras, but I dare to conclude that Wang Mang and his wife are not unhappy, but very unhappy!

As a reckless man, he cannot live if he dies; As a reckless wife, life is better than death.

Not to mention Liu Xiu and his grandfather Lao Fan's family, cultivating and reading heirlooms, fathers and sons, filial piety, which is really enviable; It's in the mountains and forests, on the banks of the rivers

The humble peasants, some of whom were married and had little food and clothing, and who were in love with each other, and when the conditions improved slightly, they embraced each other and rejoiced, and disaster came to them

Life and death depend on each other, isn't this a kind of warmth in life?

Okay, let's go into Wang Mang's palace. It's a place of sin.

I'm talking about software, not hardware, because Wood and Stone are innocent.

Again, we are not infringing, because this palace was originally built by the people, and all the things that everyone went in to see were those involving public power.

When Wang's eyes were crying blind, the crown prince Wang Lin had not been abolished, and he was ordered by his father to wait for his mother at home.

Wang's has a maid named Yuan Bi, who looks a little good, and used to have an affair with the male owner behind the hostess's back, that is, he secretly had an affair with Wang Mang

Feeling.

When Wang Lin came to serve his mother, Yuan Bi felt that today's prince was tomorrow's emperor, and took the initiative to seduce Wang Lin.

Anyway, Wang is blind, and it is convenient for two people to do anything.

Although Wang Lin had already become Liu Xin's son-in-law, he did not withstand the temptation of Yuan Bi, and the two soon hooked up and became adulterous.

However, a woman who uses her body to serve two men, is still a father and son, and it is a father and son like Wang Mang, which is both hard and dangerous.

Yuan Bi is very shrewd, thinking that she can only choose one of these two men, otherwise the death period will not be too far away.

Of course, Wang Lin must be chosen, in addition to his great future, he is also in the year of his establishment, "Chang'e in the palace loves young people"!

So, she cried to Wang Lin about her embarrassment and encouraged him to kill her father.

Seeing this, I don't know if everyone is familiar with it. 170 years later, Diao Chan during the Three Kingdoms persuaded Lu Bu to kill Dong Zhuo in this way.

It's just a pity that Yuan Bi is not Diao Chan, and Wang Lin is not Lu Bu.

After thinking about it, Wang Lin also knew in his heart that with the woman who moved his father, if the matter came out, he would definitely be unable to save his life.

He thought about the fate of his brothers and nephews again, and simply didn't do anything, and he didn't stop doing it: kill his father and become the emperor!

So, he went home and discussed with his wife, Liu Xin's daughter Liu Su, how to kill his father.

Who knew that Wang Mang was too vigilant, he looked at everyone like an assassin, and it was too difficult to attack him.

Before Wang Lin raised his knife, Wang Mang made a move, as we said just now, Wang Mang used the strong wind to blow down the house, abolished Wang Lin's crown prince, and demoted him

Capital.

Of course, at this time, Wang Mang neither discovered Wang Lin's personal relationship with Yuan Bi, nor did he discover Wang Lin's murderous intentions.

The following year, in 21 A.D., Wang was critically ill, and Wang Lin wrote a letter to his mother to the effect that:

"The emperor is too cruel to his children and grandchildren. A few years ago, the eldest brother and the second brother were forced to commit suicide when they were 30 years old, and this year, I am also 30 years old. I do want to

Live well, but I'm afraid I can't do it. I was afraid that something would happen to my mother, and I didn't know where I was going to die. ”

In the letter, Wang Lin's boredom, disappointment, and melancholy were fully revealed.

Life is originally wonderful, why be born in the emperor's family!

Of course, we're just feeling it out here.

In fact, whoever is born and where he is born, he cannot be the master at all. Besides, some emperors' sons are also very happy, for example, we will see in the future, Liu Xiu

of several sons.

One day, Wang Mang visited his sick wife and found the letter.

When Wang Mang saw Wang Lin's letter, he was very annoyed and concluded that there must be something strange in it.

Relying on his rich experience in long-term misdeeds, he believed that Wang Lin must have misbehaved, and was determined to find out.

However, when he saw Wang dying in bed, he thought that it was really not the right time to bring the case to his home at this time, so he had to hold back for the time being.

Wang finally died in boundless pain, Wang Mang arranged for the funeral, but ordered that Wang Lin was not allowed to mourn his mother.

Wang Mang is scheming and scheming, and he is a top master in conspiracy, so he decided to start with Yuan Bi first.

The reason is very simple, women, especially unmarried girls like Yuan Bi, can't stand the beating at all.

Wang Mang found a few fierce men to commit violence, but before the fight was over, Yuan Bi recruited him.

She was very cooperative, not only explaining her love with Wang Lin's bed, but also explaining the facts that the case-handling personnel had not yet grasped: conspiring with Wang Lin and planning to drink

poison in the inside, poison Wang Mang, and in the future, Wang Lin will be the emperor and be his own concubine.

After listening to Yuan Bi's confession, Wang Mang's anger can be imagined.

He felt that the ugliness of his family should not be publicized, so he decided to deal with the matter in a low-key manner, but the cruelty index could not be reduced at all.

After listening to the report of the case-handling personnel, Wang Mang immediately ordered Yuan Bi to be beaten to death.

What kind of punishment this is, we can't say accurately for the time being, but no matter what thing is used to beat, Yuan Bi undoubtedly died a painful death.

At the same time, in order to prevent the spread of family scandals, Wang Mang arranged for his henchmen to secretly kill all the case-handling personnel, and even buried the bodies in prison.

Then, Wang Mang gave Wang Lin poison and ordered him to commit suicide.

Wang Mang is still a consistent tradition, never letting others do it when destroying his own family, and letting the parties decide by themselves.

Wang Lin knew that he was powerless to fight against his father's obscenity, but he could choose his own way of making decisions, refused to drink medicine, and drew his sword to kill himself.

Next, Wang Mang still hasn't finished counting.

He issued an edict and reprimanded his in-law Liu Xin, to the effect that Wang Lin did not understand many things, and the reason why he got to this point today is also his wife Liu Suzhen

The sidewind factor.

In fact, Wang Mang could have given this edict directly to his daughter-in-law Liu Su, or take any harsh measures to punish her.

He did this completely to beat Liu Xin.

Liu Xin was frightened, afraid of being sitting, so he hurriedly found his daughter and reprimanded her.

Liu Su not only had no place to pour bitter water in his stomach, but also swallowed tears into his stomach.

After returning from her mother's home, Liu Su thought about it and felt that it was really unintentional to be born as Liu Xin's daughter, marry Wang Mang's daughter-in-law, and live in this troubled era

Think!

Anyway, when her husband was leaving, she was angry and committed suicide by taking poison.

Husband, you wait for me! I really don't want to live anymore!

I just can't live if I want to, and even if I can live, it's not interesting!

As a woman, I may be glorious in the eyes of others:

My father is a national teacher, my father-in-law is the emperor, my husband is the prince, and I myself may be the queen in the future, which seems to be a great success in being a woman.

But, God knows how bitter I am in my heart!

Now, my father scolded, my father-in-law ruined, my husband was given to Lord Yama, and the overwhelming fire that the common people resisted is also burning, why am I

Do you have to live in this world?

Husband, you wait for me!!

As we said earlier, when a regime fails to protect ordinary people, it ultimately fails to protect those in power. And when a regime is always dead

When the common people, its rulers simply cannot be at peace!

What we just said happened in the first month of 21 C.E., just after the Chinese New Year.

Not long after, in this first month, Wang Mang's third son, Xinqian Wang An, and his son, Gongming Gong Wang Shou, fell ill and died.

What kind of illness it was, why did they die so quickly, and the two of them seemed to have an appointment, which is still a mystery.

The family mourned on January 5, I don't know how Wang Mang feels?

However, Wang Mang is Wang Mang, and his road of blackmailing and usurping the Han and bullying the people has always been paved with other people's bones and blood.

For him, destroying a few more family members is just an increase in numbers.

Things got to this point, he didn't find the reason from himself, he didn't seriously reflect on himself, but he still stubbornly believed: This is the former Han Liu Dynasty

The impact has not been cleared.

So, he ordered to take the temples of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty and Emperor Zhao of the Han Dynasty to make room for the burial of his descendants.

Actually, Emperor Wu and his son have been dead for hundreds of years, what does it have to do with your family?

If it has to be related, it can only be said that the Liu family is unlucky, and Emperor Wu's descendant, Emperor Yuan Liu Zheng, married your aunt Wang Zhengjun.

The Liu family is very unfortunate that Liu Zheng has not come out after Liu Zheng, making your Wang family's relatives abuse power and mislead the country for more than half a century.

In fact, it is not true that the Liu clan of the former Han Dynasty did not have fierce people, but the relatives of the Wang family did not let go after holding the authority of the country, and these fierce men did not use force for a while

It's just a place.

When the time comes, how can these fierce men make you peaceful!

For example, Liu Xiu, such as Liu Xiu.

Wang Mang is so unbearable to be a man and a politician, we have nothing to say.

Even so, he wasn't done with it.

As we compared earlier, on the stage of the great drama of social life, although the audience has long been indignant, shouting and scolding him to step down, he has to be

Cheeky not to get off the stage, he has to continue his clumsy and disgusting performance.

Whoever comes to power to push him, he is not only anxious with others, but also unscrupulous to yin others.

This is just as some historians lamented:

Flesh and blood and revenge,

In the meantime, you can also rest;

Disaster to the point of unrealization,

The wicked don't look back.

How could Wang Mang turn back?

For many years, in order to climb up and become a brother, he has exhausted all his tricks. In the court struggle, he defeated all obstacles one by one

Although his people are infamous, they are in the position of a big brother after all.

There is a saying in my country, called "thin-skinned, can't eat".

Many people take this sentence as a joke, but Wang Mang takes it as a creed of life.

The reason why he refused to leave his seat in the scolding of the world must be that he understood and implemented this life creed too much.

In governing the country, he was helpless against the raging flames of peasant revolt.

In fact, he also used many methods, but they didn't work.

At the beginning, Wang Mang preferred suppression, but the official army could not defeat the righteous army.

He also wanted to use his professional skills to adopt a coaxing method to recruit An, but he was refused.
