c_t; Although Yingxiu didn't know that his ancestors would think that Wang Mang would be a madman, there was no doubt that as far as he knew some things about Wang Mang, he was indeed worthy of a madman's performance.

Although the wheel of history has been reversed too much by Zhang Jiashi, in some details, the appearance of Wang Mang or the prosperity of the Wang family is indeed another joke played by history to the royal family of the Great Qin Empire.

The reason why it is another joke is because before this, the wheel of history made Zhang Jiashi himself feel quite speechless in some details, just like his baby son, Emperor Wen Yingxun of the Great Qin Empire, under that chance encounter, he and the daughter of the Qinghe Dou clan formed the first pair of emperors and empresses of the Great Qin Empire.

After Zhang Jiashi thought that this situation was irreversible, he gave his daughter-in-law the name of Yifang with some playfulness.

(The name of Dou Yifang should not be the real name, because the word Yifang comes from the name of one of the palaces of the Han Dynasty.) Therefore, the description of Sima Zhen's "Historical Records Suoyin" in this regard is more far-fetched. ）

Zhang Jiashi also realized one point at this time, that is, although the general direction of many things in the Great Qin Empire has changed under his efforts to turn the tide, for some aspects or personnel that have little impact, the will of history does not seem to have forgotten its own expressiveness.

......

In Wang Mang's case, even if the overall environment has changed radically, there are some corresponding "trajectories" in some details:

Among them, the most famous are the death of Wang Mang's fourth son, Wang Lin, and his second son, Wang Shu.

In the world where Zhang Jiashi was originally located, during Wang Mang's retreat, Wang Shu was forced to death by Wang Mang for killing his slave.

According to historical records, Du Men defended himself, and his son was killed as a slave, and he was recklessly blamed and ordered to commit suicide. At the age of three in the country, there were hundreds of unjust lawsuits. In the first year of Yuanshou, the solar eclipse, the virtuous Zhou Hu, Song Chong and other countermeasures deeply praised the merits of recklessness, and then recruited recklessness.

In this world, Wang Shu was forced to death by Wang Mang because he killed a slave privately during Wang Mang's filial piety for Wang Feng.

This can be regarded as the result of almost the same death that Wang Shu experienced in different worlds.

And Wang Lin's situation is similar, in Zhang Jiashi's original world, in the first month of 21 AD, the wife of Emperor Mang of Jianxing of the new dynasty died, and she was called Empress Xiaomu. At the beginning, Wang Mang's wife was blinded by crying because Wang Mang killed her son several times. Wang Mang asked the crown prince to live in the palace to take care of her. Wang Mang had an affair with Yuan Bi, the maid next to his wife, and later Wang Lin also committed adultery with her, afraid that the matter would leak, so the two planned to kill Wang Mang together.

Wang Lin's wife, Liu Xin ("Liu Su" in the Chinese book), was the daughter of Liu Xin, the national teacher, and would observe the stars and tell Wang Lin that there would be a meeting in white clothes in the palace. The king was overjoyed, thinking that what he had planned would succeed. Later, he was demoted to the king of Tongyiyang, and was sent to live in a mansion outside, which made him even more worried and afraid. When Wang Mang's wife was seriously ill, Wang Lin wrote to her: "The emperor is extremely strict with his descendants, and my elder brother Changsun (Wang Yu) and Zhongsun (Wang Shu) both died at the age of thirty. Now that I'm just thirty years old, I'm afraid that if something happens to my mother, I don't know where I'll die!"

Wang Mang came to visit his wife's illness, saw the letter, was furious, suspected that Wang Lin had malicious intentions, and did not let him attend the funeral. At the end of the burial, Yuan Bi and others were arrested and interrogated, and Yuan Bi fully admitted to adultery, murder, and other circumstances. Wang Mang wanted to cover up this matter, and sent someone to kill the commander and his subordinate officials who were ordered to handle the case, and the body was buried in prison, and the deceased's family did not know where it was. Wang Lin was given poison, but Wang Lin refused to drink it and committed suicide. Wang Mang ordered the national teacher again: "Wang Lin didn't know the stars, and the matter started from Liu Xin. Liu Xin also committed suicide.

(Speaking of this record, this wolf is really 23333, because the people who recorded this period of history ignored one point, that is, Yuan Bi is the maid of the Wang family, Wang Mang has a relationship with him, no matter what, it is not an affair, it is very likely that Yuan Bi is already one of Wang Mang's concubines, and the relationship between Wang Lin and Yuan Bi is not so open.) ）

And in this world, Wang Lin's fate is similar, and Yuan Bi, as his most important key personnel, has become the maidservant of Wang Mang's wife Wang.

And after Wang Lin and Yuan Bi's affair, Wang Mang was very angry, because Yuan Bi had become Wang Mang's concubine at this time, and Wang Lin's practice was undoubtedly a big blow to Wang Mang's reputation.

In order to avoid such a thing, Wang Mang ordered his henchmen to force Wang Lin to death with poisoned wine, and then let people kill Yuan Bi directly, and externally claimed that Wang Lin died of a violent illness, and Yuan Bi was "released" to his home.

But after such a thing was known to Yingxiu, he ordered intelligence officers loyal to the Great Qin royal family to capture several of Wang Mang's henchmen who knew the ins and outs of the matter, and secretly imprisoned them.

......

Yingxiu knows very well that just such a thing will not touch Wang Mang anything, at most it can only damage Wang Mang's reputation. Directly exposing such a thing to the government and the opposition will inevitably not have any good effect.

After all, Wang Lin's death is more to blame, because Wang Lin's fornication with his father's concubine is a kind of rebellion, Wang Mang forced Wang Lin to die, in addition to committing some crimes that are not light or heavy, it is difficult for Wang Mang to suffer a big blow in this regard.

However, Wang Mang thought that Yingxiu's forbearance of him was seen as a sign of fear of his momentum, so Wang Mang accelerated the speed of seizing the power of the Great Qin Empire.

...................................................... Dividing Line................................................

If Yingxiu knew a sentence, then she would unanimously think that this sentence could be said to be very suitable for Wang Mang's description.

That is, if you don't die, you won't die.

Coincidentally, Wang Mang's way of dying happened to be the two main ways of Wang Mang's administration that Zhang Jiashi knew: not allowing private land buying and selling, and the kind of currency reform that could be called the most second-class in history;

......

In 15 AD, that is, the following year after the wedding of Yingxiu and Yin Lihua, Wang Mang, as the prime minister of the empire, proposed two reform policies:

The first is to change the national policy of private land sales to not allow private sales.

The second is to change the name of slaves and maids to "private belongings" and not to buy and sell.

I have to say that Wang Mang came up with these two guidelines, not on a whim. Because during this period, although the Great Qin Empire had already taken the land state ownership system as its fundamental policy. However, the land acquisition policy of the wealthy merchants and the large landlord class still appeared in relative land annexation. Many peasants who lost their land due to land acquisition or forced sale have also become a big hidden danger that the Great Qin Empire has to face.

However, it can be said that in this regard, the opposition that Wang Mang encountered was very fierce.

This is because the vast majority of the bureaucrats at the Great Court Conference have become vested interests in the land sale system.

This can also be said to be a kind of reincarnation:

In the history of Zhang Jiashi's original location, after Wang Mang's Wang Tian and private ownership system were proposed, they were strongly opposed by landowners of all sizes. Some landlords and bureaucrats even raised troops to resist. Han Xu Tinghou Liu Kuai formed a party of thousands of troops to raise troops, and the Zhending landlord Haoqiang also raised troops under the leadership of Liu Du to fight against recklessness.

Some of the people who originally followed Wang Mang within the imperial court also raised objections: although Jing Tian was a holy law, it had been abolished for a long time. The Zhou Tao is declining, and the people are not complying. Qin knew that he was obedient to the people's hearts and could get great profits, so he destroyed the Lujing and put it in Qianmo, and then the king Zhuxia did not get tired of it in the sea. Now I want to go against the will of the people, and recover the extinct for thousands of years, although Yao Shun has revived, there is no gradual change of a hundred years, and Fu can do it. The world is initially decided, and all the people are newly attached, and sincerity cannot be implemented.

In the opposition of the government and the opposition, Wang Mang had to announce the abolition of the "Wang Tian" and "private belonging" systems in the fourth year of the founding of the People's Republic of China (11 AD), that is, the third year after the edict was issued: "All the famous Wang Tian must be sold, and they should not be subject to the law." Those who commit smuggling and buying and selling people will not be cured. ”

And in this time and space, Wang Mang's suggestion was met with strong opposition. But to the surprise of many people, Yingxiu is a very "good person" and put forward a suggestion that is inclined to Wang Mang:

"The Prime Minister's move is indeed beneficial to Great Qin, but due to the strong opposition of many civil and military forces, I think that why not follow the example of King Dingwu and implement these two policies on a small scale to see the after-effects?"

Wang Mang can be said to have not reacted to Yingxiu's "olive branch" for a while. But by the time Wang Mang reacted, it was too late. Because of Yingxiu's uneasy and well-intentioned proposal, many civil and military people who are not members of the Wang family or his henchmen have already agreed, and these people have not waited for Wang Mang's henchmen to react, so they agree with Yingxiu's proposal, hoping that Wang Mang can implement these two reforms in some areas.

Well, Wang Mang and the Wang family or the henchmen who are attached to the Wang family soon knew what the actual fate of not being immortal was.

This is because these areas that are deemed suitable for reform are basically the actual spheres of influence of the Wang family and other henchmen.

Such an end will naturally not look good.

......

The main control area of Wang Mang and the Wang family is in Zhao County and the hometown of Qi State.

After the implementation of these two reforms, the situation in the two regions quickly deteriorated, and even evolved into a protracted civil uprising that was not too large, but was enough to shake the government and the opposition.

After two years of hard support, Wang Mang finally had to give up the implementation of these two decrees, and instead restore everything to the old situation......

Of course, after Wang Mang experienced a heavy failure this time, he was naturally unwilling to fail like this.

Yingxiu had to admit that if Wang Mang relented, he would not have any way to solve Wang Mang and the Wang family behind him for a while. After all, Wang Mang's situation is not too bad......

However, Wang Mang's second death was the currency reform proposed at the Great Court Conference in 19 AD......

In the history known to Zhang Jiashi, after Wang Mang came to power, in order to weaken the power of the old clan of the Han Dynasty and plunder the wealth of the people, he carried out a series of currency reforms in the name of "Tuogu reform". Both sword coins and cloth coins were restored during the reform, but they were not the same in form as they were during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. Due to the complexity and confusion of the currency system, private transactions are not smooth. And each time the size of the coins is shrinking, the price is getting higher and higher, essentially exploiting the wealth of ordinary people. The failure of the currency reform was also one of the reasons for the rapid demise of the new dynasty.

In this world, Wang Mang put forward a point, that is, the copper coins minted by the people have affected the normal circulation of coins, and if this situation continues to deteriorate, there will inevitably be bad money to drive out good money, leading to a decline in national credit or even bankruptcy.

If you want to change this situation directly, it is better to follow the example of King Zhou Jing to issue treasures and maintain the authority of the state on good money.

(The various currencies issued during Wang Mang's currency reform are commonly known as treasures.) "Hanshu Food and Goods Chronicles" says: "All treasures, five things, six names, and twenty-eight products. "The five things refer to the five textures used to make money, namely copper, gold, silver, shellfish, and tortoise shell. Six names refer to the names of six currencies, namely spring goods, shell goods, cloth goods, turtle treasures, silver goods, and gold. The grade refers to the grade, and each of the six currencies is divided into several grades, with a total of twenty-eight grades, that is, twenty-eight grades. Wang Mang's treasure system is bizarre and bizarre, making people dizzy, and the result is that "the people are confused, and their goods are not good". At that time, the only coins in circulation were Koizumi worth one cent and Oizumi worth fifty wen.

The most famous treasure is the gold Kui Zhiwan, the coin was minted in the second year of the Western Han Dynasty (7 AD), minted by Wang Mang, the shape is special, like a golden key to open the treasure of wealth! It is composed of two parts, the upper part is in the form of a square hole round coin, and the diameter is 2. 6 cm, the face text is "National Treasure Jinkui" four words, spin reading, hanging needle seal. The lower part is square, and the side length is 2. 5 cm, there are two vertical ridges inside, the middle straight book hanging needle seal "straight Wan" two words, the top has the word "Tianfu", the whole body is soft, the top of the back has the word "Toad Palace", the version is currently only seen one.

Some people think that it is a currency in circulation, but it has not officially entered the circulation field because the discount is too high. There is also another opinion that the object is not currency, but a handle or decoration on the gold cabinet, which symbolizes Wang Mang's innumerable amount of gold. ）

I have to say that Yingxiu agrees with Wang Mang's point of view very much, but out of the subjective thinking of "Wang Mang must die", Yingxiu is still quite unkind to dig a pit and let Wang Mang jump.

Yingxiu's methods can be said to be very unoriginal, but said to Wang Mang: "Since the prime minister is so worried about the country and the people, but the currency reform is not a trivial matter, if King Dingwu is alive, he will inevitably weigh it and deal with it carefully." If the prime minister has this hope, I hope that the prime minister can use Zhao County as a pilot to implement this good policy for the benefit of the country!"

This time, Yingxiu has learned the "lesson" of a few years ago to avoid Wang Mang having a chance to turn around, and even directly issued an edict to implement Wang Mang's currency reform in Zhao County.

It can be said that Wang Mang was dumbfounded......
