12. The volume wants to start again

Wang Mang is back in power this time, and he is determined to make his dream come true as the highest-ranking hypocrite and CEO of the empire.

This is actually the identity of an expert high-level political hooligan.

He and Wang Zhengjun felt that the Liu royal family had reached the most bullying time.

Since Emperor Cheng and Emperor Wai have no sons, there are more adult males among close relatives who are qualified to be candidates for the first brother, and there is more room for choice. And Wang Manggu

The reason why the nephew chose Liu Yan, who was only 9 years old, as Emperor Ping, was entirely because he was young, easy to bully, and conducive to being a puppet

It's easy to get up.

Wang Mang thought that if the royal family came out with another emperor like Mourning, he would cut himself out, not only heartwarming, but also misplaced.

Of course, Wang Mang would never have dreamed at this time that God, the chief director of the social life drama, would once again push him to the center of the imperial political stage

, also prepared another main actor to replace him: Liu Xiu.

In 5 BC, that is, the third year of Emperor Wai's accession to the throne, Liu Xiu was born in the palace of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty in Jiyang County, where his father Liu Qin was the county magistrate.

When Wang Mang's aunt and nephew returned to the state and established Emperor Ping this time, Liu Xiu was already 5 years old.

In our country throughout the ages, if anyone thinks that children grow up slowly, some people comfort them and say:

If you are small, you don't have to worry about the big, but you are afraid that there is nothing.

As I said just now, Wang Mang is going to let go.

After all, he is an expert political hooligan, and compared with others, his political ambitions are more inflated, his methods of rectification are more brutal, and his methods of playing power are even more

Insidious.

He monopolized power, did whatever he wanted, played with Emperor Ping, and constantly asked the Empress Dowager for a more honorable name.

On the one hand, he was generous to the country and did things to sell his reputation everywhere; On the other hand, they formed parties for personal gain, excluded dissidents, and brought all their cronies and minions

The ministry is placed in important posts and controls the political power at all levels.

Wang Mang felt that he had reached a height that was difficult for ordinary people to achieve in terms of hypocrisy and professionalism and personal political progress, and he had to use his own style

Aim higher.

His personal style has the "prescribed actions" of the great conspirators, and the original "optional actions", that is, he is engaged in "the promotion of the obedient".

, the hateful will be destroyed", and so on, tears in his eyes pretended to be a last resort.

In this way, Wang Mang only took a few steps, and in only a few years, he played the former Han Empire to death.
