In September 23 A.D., autumn had appeared.

According to the season, after the budding of spring and the excitement of summer, it is time to harvest in autumn.

On September 1, the first army, together with other rebel troops, entered the city from Xuanping Gate, northeast of Chang'an City.

As soon as the rebel armies from all walks of life entered the city, they happened to meet Xinmang's Da Situ (Wang Mang called Ming Xuenan) Zhang Han patrolling.

Everyone stepped forward and cut their heads, and Zhang was killed immediately.

At this time, the generals such as Sima Wangyi, Wang Mu, and his son led the only few soldiers in Xinmang, trying to stop the rebels.

Wang Yi's father and son resisted the increasingly brave rebel army one after another, and at the same time sent additional men to protect Wang Mang.

Many residents of Chang'an joined the battle against the official army. The whole city was in chaos, and the mobilization of the whole people to fight Wang Mang was like catching mice.

On this day, in the capital, beating Wang Mang has become the most fashionable thing and a grand festival for the common people.

In the evening, the fierce fighting was raging, and all the civil servants of the Xinmang Central Government and the local yamen of Jingshi fled, and the rebels and ordinary people occupied everything except the imperial palace

Public places.

The next day, two young people in the capital, Zhu Di and Zhang Yu, stood up.

They were afraid that the residents' homes would be destroyed during the power vacuum, so they organized the local residents who were going to beat Wang Mang to maintain order and protect the situation

Defend the people's house, while joining forces with the chaotic team entering the city to attack the palace.

I don't know if you have noticed, but the large and small battles in which the Shishi tour group entered the Jingshi area were all helped by the people who organized spontaneously

Dry. Some cities and fortresses were simply taken down by the common people and handed over to them, such as the aforementioned Wuguan.

Among such ordinary people (including large families), there are those who gather in large numbers and fight fiercely, and we might as well call them "rebel armies".

If at this time I said that the first army is here for a tour, and you still have opinions, we might as well ask them together:

As a "regular army" holding high the banner of "opposing the reckless Han Dynasty" and with high hopes from many ordinary people, did you rush to the front in the battle?

Are you protecting the lives and property of the people?

Do you maintain social order and protect public facilities from damage?

When the common people spontaneously organized to fight Wang Mang, what role did you play? …………。

Of course, you are not idle, from Wancheng to Chang'an such a long way, whether you are walking, riding horses, or robbing things, robbing women, all

It's quite tiring.

……。

No, Zhu Di and Zhang Yu led the residents of the capital who spontaneously organized, as the forerunners of all walks of life, to take the lead in attacking the palace.

They are like cats looking for mice, they have to find out Wang Mang.

Facing the closed palace gate, they burned it with fire, cut it with big axes, and shouted loudly: "Anti-thief Wang Mang, why don't you come out and surrender?!" ”

They burned and split several palace gates one after another, but they did not meet effective resistance.

Because they were worried that Wang Mang would play conspiracy again, they did not dare to advance rashly, so they set fires everywhere in the palace.

When the fire reached the court and began to burn to the Chengming Palace, a 32-year-old woman showed her discipline in an extreme way:

She is Wang Mang's daughter and Empress Xiaoping of Emperor Ping of the Western Han Dynasty.

Although this Wang girl is Wang Mang's daughter, her personality and behavior are completely different from her father's.

She has a calm and quiet temperament, values benevolence and righteousness, pays attention to discipline, and always has reservations about what her father does.

But unfortunately, she didn't, or couldn't choose her own path in life, and she had to be her father's political tool.

In the spring of 3 A.D., Wang Mang, then Duke of Anhan, purely for personal purposes, coerced the then Empress Dowager Wang Zhengjun to agree by engaging in intrigue and trickery

This daughter, who was only 12 years old at the time, married the then emperor Emperor Hanping and served as the "Empress Xiaoping".

When Wang Mang poisoned his son-in-law Emperor Ping, and in March 6 A.D., when he supported his son Liu Ying, the 15-year-old Wang daughter began to be widowed and sadly served as the "Emperor of Ding'an."

After".

In 8 AD, when Wang Mang usurped the Han Dynasty, he found that his wife should be the queen, and if his daughter's job title was not changed, he would scold himself.

As a result, he changed his name to the Empress Dowager of Ding'an as the "Yellow Imperial Master".

In this way, Wang Mang not only said that his daughter was divorced from the Liu family, but also said that his daughter's seniority was no longer higher than that of her mother.

Although the title can be changed at will, the Wang daughter's thoughts about her husband Emperor Ping and her dissatisfaction with her father's actions have never changed.

In order to help her forget Emperor Ping and prevent her from observing the festival for the Liu family, Wang Mang once arranged for her to remarry.

She would rather die than obey.

Now, my mother-in-law's family has long been played by my father, and my mother's family is about to finish playing in the scolding of 10,000 people, do I have any choice?!

Now, when the flames began to engulf her dwelling, the royal woman wept as she looked at the fire:

"What face do I have to say goodbye to the Han family?!"

She cried and jumped and threw herself into the fire.

She was born a reckless girl and never knew what happiness was. And her character and behavior are as powerful as ice compared to her father!

At this time, the residents in the palace had already been in close contact with Wang Mang's close party members, and the sound of fighting and howling sounded in one piece, and arrows, bricks and tiles flew everywhere.

The residents have been oppressed and deprived by the authorities for too long, and today they have to settle accounts with Wang Mang, and they are all red-eyed.

Wang Mang's party members protected him more and more difficult to resist, constantly retreating from one place to another, constantly dropping down batches of corpses.

Some of the palace beauties who were collected by Wang Mang from all over the country died in the chaos for unknown reasons, and some of them ran around with their cloaks scattered and exclaimed: "

What to do?! What to do?! ”

No one cared to answer, they beat hard, and those who fled desperately fled.

It's a bit like hot water pouring an ant's nest!

Wang Mang was extremely embarrassed!

As an emperor, being beaten from one house to another in his own home, this is really not like a gentleman!

Of course, he really can't care about that much.

Survival matters! Finding someone to save your life is important!

Where are the ministers who used to flatter themselves?

Where are the high-ranking cadres who usually rush to report on their work?

Where are the people who couldn't hit the eight poles in the early years, and then posted them as "relatives and friends"?

Where are those who borrowed the public instruments of the state in their hands and became nouveau riche by cunning?

……。

Faced with the raging fires everywhere and the constant shouts of killing, Wang Mang was forced to have nowhere to hide, and fled surrounded by a few henchmen

The front hall of the Xuan Chamber.

He was terrified.

In order to maintain his image as a hypocrite, in order to calm everyone's nerves that were about to collapse, he decided to make another move.

Due to the tight schedule, this action may be too hasty and hilarious to be taken care of.

He was dressed in dark blue and translucent red, wearing the emperor's seal, and ordered Tianwen Lang to stand beside him with a astrolabe in his hand, and report the progress of the moment at any time, himself

Then he rotated around the seat in the direction of the moment, pretending to be calm and said loudly: "God has given me holy virtue (let me be a brother), and what can the Han soldiers do to me."

Shape?! ”

("Born virtuous, Han soldiers are like this!") ”）

However, at this time, Wang Mang only had a hard mouth.

He also knew that his words were worthless, and he also knew that when there was really a knife to cut him, it was useless to say big words, so he made preparations with both hands.

While doing the above funny action, he is holding a dagger in his hand, ready to fight with people at any time.

He spent another night in tension and fear.
