13 Step 1 Eliminate dissent, kill people and do not avoid relatives

Wang Mang's methods of rectifying people are varied, and targeted measures are taken for different targets.

Emperor Mourning has already hung up, Wang Mang directly to the Fu family, Ding's relatives and Dong Xian, all their relatives and friends who are officials in the court will be exempted, find a reason to send it

With a distance.

Dong Xiancao knew that he was the target of the attack, and he was so frightened that he committed suicide.

But Wang Mang still didn't let it go, he thought that in the early years, Emperor Mourning cleaned himself up, and most of them were Dong Xian playing ghosts.

Therefore, he instructed people to list his crimes, open the coffin, and confiscate all the family property.

Dong Xian's property was sold, and it was worth 4.3 billion yuan!

Where did it come from?

For people who don't like it but are in high power, Wang Mang also has a way.

He saw that the great Situ Kong Guang was very respected by the Empress Dowager, so he paid attention to encircling Kong Guang and promoted Kong's son-in-law Zhen Han to serve as the lieutenant and the commander of the car.

He first fabricated charges for those powerful people who looked unpleasant, and then confirmed the evidence, but he didn't come forward, and asked Zhen Han to report it to his father-in-law Kong Guang, and Kong would present it again

Grand empress dowager. Seeing that the heat was almost over, I went to the Empress Dowager to explain and put forward opinions.

According to such a routine, the generals He Wu and Gongsun Lu were all dismissed by him for reasons.

Wang Mang's trick has been tried and tested repeatedly, and even his own uncle, Wang Li, Marquis of Hongyang, has not dodged.

Wang Li is Wang Zhengjun's half-brother, and one day in 27 BC, he and Wang Zhengjun's other four half-brothers were crowned marquis, and they were called the "Five Marquis".

At this time, Wang Liji retired due to age and rested, and was not an official in the imperial court.

Because of the estrangement between the two in Chun Yuchang's case, Wang Mang felt that the time was ripe to attack this uncle.

Wang Mang first instructed Kong Guang to play Wang Zhengjun, saying that the Marquis of Hongyang had violated the law in the past and was not held accountable for various reasons. Now that the new emperor has just been established, he wants to purge the officials

Although he is retired, he lives in the capital, and his influence is still there, and the vast number of cadres and masses have a lot of discussions and opinions. Hongyanghou should be allowed to leave the capital.

At first, Wang Zhengjun was unimpressed.

So, Wang Mang came forward in person.

He said to Wang Zhengjun with a sincere attitude:

"Now that the Han Dynasty is weakened, there have been several generations of heirs to the throne who have no relatives, and the empress dowager will replace the young emperor to rule the world

It's a cause for concern. Our Wang family is wholeheartedly doing justice for the world, and we have to worry that the people are not convinced of us. If we care

and personal feelings regardless of everyone's opinions, the people below will do evil, and the world will be in chaos from now on! I think it's better to let Hongyanghou return to his seal for the time being

Wait until the talk has subsided, and then call him back. ”

Wang Mang's words are high-sounding, not only for the sake of the country, but also for the interests of the Wang family, and also respect the opinions of the broad masses of cadres and masses.

Wang Zhengjun really had nothing to say, so he had to agree.

As long as you Hongyang Hou leave the capital, I have a way to clean you up!

Wang Mang is not only like this to his own uncle, but also to his own flesh and blood.

Earlier, we talked about how he forced his second son Wang Shu to commit suicide, and this time, the eldest son was also in his hands.

If Wang Mang forced the second child to death in order to be worthy of his title of the highest-level hypocrite, then this time the boss was forced to die in order to "even lose the highest."

The title of a level hypocrite, but also to be a brother's dream!

Emperor Ping's mother was the queen of Zhongshan, and Wang Mang was very worried that once she entered Beijing and entered the court, a new group of relatives would be formed, which would be unfavorable to the Wang family, so she was not allowed to make peace

The rest of the Wei family entered Beijing.

Wang Mang's eldest son, Wang Yu, has always been dissatisfied with his father's approach, and feels that it is really unkind to cut off the kindness of other people's mothers and sons, and he will be retributed in the future.

So, Wang Yu corresponded with Wei's brother Wei Bao and asked Queen Wei to hurry up and write to the Empress Dowager to thank her, indicating that she would definitely not be like Fu in the past

and the Ding family is as "ungrateful".

Wang Mang saw it, and of course he understood what it meant.

He asked Wang Zhengjun to reply to the letter, counting the Fu and Ding families who did not know the height of the sky, thinking that Emperor Wai was on the throne that year, they wanted to be on an equal footing with the Empress Dowager and corrupted

The law of the country, as a result, not only could he not live long, but even Emperor Mourning died in a short life. At the same time, he coldly and sternly warned her to absorb the teachings of the Fu and Ding families

Training, so as not to be ruined!

While using Wang Zhengjun to reprimand Wei, Wang Mang gave her a rich reward.

Wang Yu is a nerd, let Queen Wei go to the book again, but Wang Mang still ignored it.

So, Wang Yu asked his teacher Wu Zhang and his uncle Lu Kuan to discuss, saying that his father was very superstitious about ghosts and gods, so he might as well scare and scare him, and then talk to him

Queen Wei's entry into Beijing.

One night, under Wang Yu's arrangement, Lu Kuan took blood and sprinkled it in front of Wang Mang's house, but was unexpectedly caught by the janitor!

It's worth it!

Wang Mang was furious and quickly found out the truth.

At this time, Wang Mang didn't consider his title as the highest-level hypocrite, and was determined to carry out the murder to the end!

Of course, Wang Mang knows the temperament of his eldest son Wang Yu very well.

Well, this matter is a general public security case if it is big, and it is just a prank if it is small.

However, Wang Mang was determined to make a fuss about it.

He needs to do something to stand up!

He quickly arranged for his right-hand men to expand the investigation.

After further investigation, the minions concerned also found that Wang Yu, Wu Zhang, Lu Kuan and others also conspired to persuade the empress dowager to belittle Wang Mang.

Wang Mang was extremely furious!

Wang Mang's black heart: For the next future, for that dream, I must make this article bigger!!

Wang Mang personally arranged for Wang Yu to be handcuffed to prison and ordered him to commit suicide by drinking poisoned wine.

At this time, Wang Yu's wife was pregnant with Liujia, and Wang Mang ignored the pleas of many people, and also beat her to death row, and arranged for her to be executed immediately after she gave birth.

is like this to his own flesh and blood, and of course he can't be merciful to others.

Wang Mang claimed that Wu Zhang had formed a party for personal gain and conspired to usurp power, and ordered him to be brutally beheaded, and his body was broken to show to the public at the east gate of Chang'an.

Wu Zhang is a generation of famous Confucians, with thousands of disciples, Wang Mang screened more than 1,000 people who looked unpleasant and listened to harsh names, and declared them to be a party for personal gain

A disciple will never be an official.

At this point, in this bloody storm, I would like to ask you to remember a person, his name is Yun Chang.

As you know, as we said earlier, the three emperors of the former Han Dynasty, Jingyuan, Cheng, and Mourning had a few tosses, plus the Wang family's relatives were making power and selfishness, and they had been defeated

One of the manifestations is that hypocrisy and treachery prevail in the government and the opposition, and officialdom and people are in charge of the righteous and profit-seeking people.

There is no way, the noble are dead, and the despicable are green everywhere.

At this time, as soon as Wang Mang announced the policy that Wu Zhang's disciples were not allowed to be officials, these people immediately switched to other people's disciples as students, and they all said that they had nothing to do with Wu Zhang

relationship, or draw a line.

However, this Yun Chang is doing the official of the Great Situ Mansion, that is, the senior official in charge of one aspect of the Prime Minister's Mansion, and he took the initiative to write the book

, who claimed to be a student of Teacher Wu, said that he could no longer work in the Prime Minister's Mansion according to the regulations, and voluntarily resigned and went home.

Yun Chang gathered Wu Zhang's bones together and carried them home to the coffin for burial.

YunChang's approach has been praised by many.

This is indeed a man who knows how to persevere!

Because Wu Zhang was a great Confucian, and there were too few of his students who were like clouds, and there were too many who saw the wind and made the rudder and slippery like a loach, the case was not easy for him to expand

Great, Wang Mang put the main pen and ink of this article on Lu Kuan.

Wang Mang fully mobilized the judicial force to investigate Lu Kuan's prison in depth. He branded the people who were usually close to Lu Kuan into Lu Kuan's party, and let them expose each other.

Find clues that meet your own political needs.

Of course, he didn't mean to be drunk.

He arranged for his minions to seriously investigate those who threatened him and even those he didn't like, both inside and outside the government and the opposition, and all of them were pointed out as Lu Kuan's henchmen, and they were arrested and punished.

There are more people in this way.

For example, He Wu, a former general who had competed with him for the position of Great Sima, Bao Xuan, a subordinate who was loyal to the Han family and did not depend on him, and Huqiang School, who had a close relationship with the Wei family

Wei Xintong and others, kill them immediately.

In order to control Emperor Ping more conveniently, he killed all of Queen Wei's siblings and other close relatives.

At the same time, he was afraid that he would not do anything, so he used the excuse of investigating Wei's henchmen and unjustly killed hundreds of people.

The remaining Queen Wei survived alone, and was abolished not long after.

Wang Mang is Wang Mang, and as a politician with the highest rank of hypocrite, his way of killing people is eclectic.

For his close relatives, he gave him a slight concession: he forced him to commit suicide.

His uncle Hongyang Hou Wang Li and cousin Ping Ahou Wang Ren who let him go in the Chun Yu long case enjoyed the preferential treatment as a close relative, and they were arrested in this case

Arrange suicide.

Emperor Yuan's sister and the Empress Dowager's sister-in-law, Princess Jingwu, was also accused of being Lu Dang and enjoyed the preferential treatment of being forced to commit suicide.

In the case of Lu Kuan, countless people were involved, and tens of thousands of people were executed by different methods alone.

But by making this shameless article bigger, Wang Mang further excluded dissidents, including his own flesh and blood relatives.
