c_t; The ancestor of the Xianyang Zhang family is naturally Zhang Jiashi, but the second head of the family is the half-brother of Emperor Taizong Qin Wen of the Great Qin Empire, the second son of Zhang Jiashi and Ying Yuelian. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info [Please go to see the latest chapter of this book]

This position of the second head of the Xianyang Zhang family, Zhang Jiashi originally belonged to himself and Lu Pheasant's son Zhang Ying, because in this regard, Zhang Ying is much older than Yingyu, and out of the stability of his family, Zhang Jiashi hopes that his eldest son Zhang Ying will serve as the head of the family, which is naturally very reasonable.

But Zhang Ying finally decided to hand over the position of heir of the Zhang family to his younger brother Yingyu after the official crown ceremony of the imperial brother of the empire.

And because of this, Zhang Jiashi finally accepted this arrangement, but asked Yingyu to change her surname to Zhang and officially serve as the heir of the Zhang family in Xianyang.

It can be said that the Xianyang Zhang family is the closest family to the royal family of the Great Qin Empire, and because Zhang Jiashi is its ancestor, the influence of the Xianyang Zhang family in the empire is naturally extraordinary.

However, after the rise of the Wang family, especially when Wang Ban died of illness, Wang Feng did not have self-control, and the contemporary family of the Zhang family in Xianyang decided to avoid a fierce confrontation with the Wang family for the time being, and chose to tolerate it.

It is because of this that Wang Feng, the head of the Wang family, thought that the opportunity had come and decided to increase the rise of his family.

......

In Zhang Jiashi's original world, Wang Feng was the elder brother of Wang Zhengjun, the empress of the Han Yuan Emperor. Emperor Yuan of the Han Dynasty ascended the throne, and his father Wang Ban was named Marquis of Yangping. In the second year of Yongguang (42 years ago), he inherited the throne and served as a guard. After his nephew Liu Biao ascended the throne, he took Wang Feng as the great Sima, the general, and the secretary of the Lingshang Sect. The four brothers of the Wang family (Wang Feng, Wang Yin, Wang Shang, and Wang Gen) were respectively in the key positions and controlled the government of the court, forming a situation of "Wang Feng's dictatorship, and the five marquis were in power". Wang Feng once promoted his nephew Wang Mang and named him the new marquis. In August of the third year of Yangshuo (22 BC), Wang Feng fell ill and died.

The real rise of the Wang family also originated from the period when Wang Feng was the head of the family:

After Emperor Cheng of the Han Dynasty ascended the throne, he served as the general of Sima and the secretary of the consulate with his uncle Yuan. In order to consolidate his power, he focused on excluding dissidents, and then hijacked the emperor. King Zhang of Jingzhao Yin impeached Wang Feng and recommended King Feng Ye to replace him. When Wang Feng heard the news, he threatened him with resignation, and Emperor Cheng had to order Shangshu to impeach Wang Zhang and falsely accuse him of great rebellion, as a result, Wang Zhang died in prison, and the public secretary looked sideways. In the first year of the founding (32 B.C.), Wang Feng's younger brothers Tan, Shang, Li, Gen, and Feng were named marquis on the same day at the same time, and they were known as the five marquis. The children of the Wang family were also appointed as the princes, servants, and Zhu Cao, and the county guards, ministers, and assassins were all out of the house. The princes of the Wang family competed for luxury, dozens of concubines in the back court, and thousands of slaves. Wang's "group of younger brothers have the power of the world, and they hold the authority of the country", which finally contributed to Wang Mang's replacement of the Han Dynasty and accelerated the demise of the Western Han Dynasty. In the third year of Yangshuo (22 BC), he died of illness.

In front of Emperor Cheng of the Han Dynasty, the ministers often recommended Liu Xin, the youngest son of Guanglu doctor Liu Xiang, to be erudite and talented. When the emperor summoned Liu Xin, he recited poems, and the emperor was very happy, and wanted to make him a regular attendant (false official name), and ordered someone to prepare official clothes. Just as he was about to seal it, the ministers next to him said, "The general doesn't know about it yet." The emperor said, "What is the matter with General Guan for such a trivial matter?" The ministers insisted on informing Wang Feng (the emperor). The emperor couldn't help it, so he told Wang Feng that he wanted to seal Liu Xin, but Wang Feng did not agree to do so, and the matter was put on hold. Wang Feng's heavy power can be seen.

In the second year of Heping (27 B.C.), Emperor Cheng of the Han Dynasty enshrined Wang Feng's younger brother Wang Tan as Ping Ahou, Wang Shang as the Marquis of Chengdu, Wang Li as the Marquis of Hongyang, Wang Gen as the Marquis of Quyang, and Wang Fengshi as the Marquis of Gaoping, which the world called "five marquis in one day". These five princes are not in harmony with each other, and their disciples do not dare to interact with each other. Emperor Cheng of the Han Dynasty took his uncle Wang Feng as the general of the Great Sima, led the scholars, monopolized the power, and the party fought against the same, and those who did not attach themselves to Wang Feng on the position of justice were expelled at the light level, and were killed at the worst. The central government is not only Wang Feng's sphere of influence, but also the personnel of the local government, and gradually full of his henchmen, the guards of the county and the state, and the history of the state, all out of Wang Feng's door. In this way, the foundation of Wang's actual power under the Han government was laid.

......

Although Wang Feng was a powerful minister, he did not take greater action in the end. Maybe Wang Feng didn't know the right time, maybe Wang Feng was a person loyal to the Han family, Wang Feng in this period, until his death, finally maintained the image of a loyal minister and good appearance.

I have to say that if it weren't for Wang Feng, I'm afraid that the Western Han Dynasty would not have been able to continue until the time when the infant ascended the throne.

And Wang Feng of this world, although his authority has gradually increased, but under the premise that the powerful forces led by the Zhang family in Xianyang have gradually retreated, Wang Feng also has no intention of going further, but adopts a relatively stable way to accept the power of some families to retreat.

It can be said that the Wang family really became a powerful family after the forces led by the Zhang family in Xianyang retreated to a certain extent.

And Wang Feng himself knows very well that even if the strength of the Wang family is already stronger than the Xianyang Zhang family on the surface, if the Xianyang Zhang family is really forced to be too anxious, then the Wang family will inevitably be the losing party.

Because the other forces of the Xianyang Zhang family, if they are integrated, it is enough to make the Wang family have no eggs under the nest.

After all, it is not only the Xianyang Zhang family, but also the Liaodong Zhang family (Zhang Ying's first line), Wanxian Zhang's family (Zhang Xiu's first line), Chengdu's Zhang family (Zhang Ying's first line) and Wuxian Zhang's family (Zhang Ying's first line) The power of the descendants of the family is integrated, even if it is not too difficult to subvert the royal family of the Great Qin Empire, let alone deal with a Wang family.

Therefore, Wang Feng, as the patriarch of the Wang family, is very aware of the strength of the other bloodline system of Zhang Jiashi's descendants.

And what's even worse is that the descendants of the ministers who were the prime minister Chen Ping at the time, although their influence is not as good as that of the Zhang family, but the combined power of these family heads can also make the Wang family's vitality hurt. Therefore, under such a premise, although the scale and power of the Wang family are getting bigger and bigger, there is no doubt that he has no intention of "going to war" with the old families of the Great Qin Empire.

......

It's just that after Wang Feng died of illness and took over the position of the patriarch of the Wang family, Wang Mang reversed the humble and polite attitude he showed to the world at the beginning, but accelerated the pace of seizing control of the court and government with a domineering attitude.

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

In the original world where Zhang Jiashi was originally located, Wang Mang (45 BC - October 6, 23 AD), the word Jujun, the second son of Wang Man, the Marquis of Xindu, the nephew of Wang Zhengjun, the Empress Xiaoyuan of the Western Han Dynasty, and the younger brother of Wang Yong. The founder of the new dynasty in Chinese history, the new Taizu, also known as the Jianxing Emperor or the New Emperor, reigned from 8 AD to 23 AD.

Wang Mang is an important member of the Wang family, a relative of the Western Han Dynasty, who is humble and frugal, a corporal of courtesy and virtuous, and has a reputation in the court and the opposition. At the end of the Western Han Dynasty, social contradictions intensified unprecedentedly, and Wang Mang was regarded by the government and the opposition as the best candidate to save the situation, and was regarded as the "reincarnation of the Duke of Zhou". In December 8 A.D., Wang Mang built a new country on behalf of the Han Dynasty, and announced the implementation of a new policy, known as "Wang Mang's reform" in history.

At the end of Wang Mang's reign, the world was in turmoil, and the new Mang Emperor was four years old, and the first army invaded Chang'an, and Wang Mang died in the chaos. Wang Mang reigned for 16 years and died at the age of 69, and the new dynasty became one of the shortest-lived dynasties in Chinese history.

Wang Mang in history has a very pertinent evaluation, that is: "Wang Mang died early, who can know if he is loyal and traitorous." ”

Wang Mang was born in the fourth year of the early Han Dynasty (45 BC), his father Wang Man, and his brother Wang Yong. His aunt was Empress Xiaoyuan Wang Zhengjun. When Wang Mang was a teenager, his father and brother died one after another, and he lived with his uncles. The Wang family was a family of relatives who leaned towards the government and the opposition at that time, and the Wang family had nine marquis, five of whom served as the Great Sima, and it was the most noble family in the Western Han Dynasty. Most of the people in the clan are generals and marquis, who live extravagantly, and compare themselves with each other.

Only Wang Mang is pure, simple in life, and humble. Moreover, he was diligent and studious, and his teacher Peijun Chen Shen studied the "Analects". He served his mother and widowed sister-in-law, raised his brother's widowed son, and behaved in strict manners. He befriended the wise men externally and served his uncles internally, and was very thoughtful. Almost all of the outliers in this family became the moral model of the time, and soon became famous.

In 22 B.C., Wang Mang entered the center at the age of 24 and began to be an official, serious in his work, more respectful to people, his uncle Wang Shang wrote to Emperor Cheng of the Han Dynasty, and was willing to give a part of his fiefdom to Wang Mang, a famous minister in the court, and also recommended Wang Mang, Wang Mang was extremely deferential to his uncle Wang Feng who was in the position of the Great Sima. Wang Feng was dying and asked Wang Zhengjun to take care of Wang Mang.

In the eleventh year of the founding of Emperor Cheng of the Han Dynasty (22 BC), Wang Mang was appointed as Huangmenlang, and later promoted to the captain of the shooting sound. Later, his uncle Wang Shang wrote to express his willingness to give part of his fief to Wang Mang, and many well-known people in the court at that time said good things for Wang Mang, and Emperor Cheng of Han also thought that Wang Mang was very virtuous. In the first year of Yongshi (16 B.C.), when Wang Mang was 30 years old, he was named the Marquis of Xindu (now Xinye, Henan), riding the capital captain, and Guanglu Dafu Shizhong (the emperor's guards and close ministers). And Wang Mang's uncles Wang Feng, Wang Shang, and Wang Gen successively served as the assistant of the Great Sima. In the life of Emperor Cheng of the Han Dynasty (Liu Biao), there were nine marquis and five great Simas. Wang Mang was in a high position, but he never respected himself, he was always courteous and virtuous, honest and frugal, and often distributed his money to customers and commoners, and even sold horse-drawn carriages to help the poor, and was deeply loved by the people. Celebrities in the government and the opposition praised Wang Mang, and his fame even surpassed that of his powerful uncles.

In 8 B.C., Wang Gen was seriously ill and recommended Wang Mang to replace the position of Great Sima, and after the death of Chun Yuchang, Wang Mang succeeded his three uncles and uncles as Great Sima, at the age of 38; After Wang Mang came to power, he was tireless in self-denial, recruited virtuous people, and used the rewards and money he received to entertain celebrities, and his life became more frugal. Once, when the ministers came to visit his mother, they saw that Wang Mang's wife was dressed very simply, and thought she was a slave of his family.

In 7 BC, Emperor Cheng of Han died and was succeeded by Emperor Ai of Han. His maternal relatives, the family of his grandmother, Empress Dowager Dingtao Guofu and Empress Ding, began to gain power. Wang Mang had to resign from his post and live in seclusion in the new capital of the feudal country (fiefdom), so he closed his door and was cautious, during which his second son Wang was killed as a house slave, Wang Mang severely punished him, and forced Wang to commit suicide, which was well received by the world. During Wang Mang's seclusion in the new capital, many officials and commoners were upset by Wang Mang's deposition and demanded his comeback, and Emperor Han Ai had to re-recruit Wang Mang to return to the capital to serve the queen mother, but did not restore his official position.

It can be seen that Wang Mang does appear in front of outsiders as a sage in many cases, and has been praised by many people. But whether this is Wang Mang's nature or his scheming is so gloomy, I'm afraid that no one else can know and understand.

......

However, Wang Mang appeared in front of outsiders as a sage, and at the same time exposed a trace of ** in his heart.

Wang Mang's cousin, the queen mother's nephew Chun Yu Changfa first, the status surpassed Wang Mang, and he was good at flattery, and he once made Zhao Feiyan for Emperor Han Cheng as the empress, and was deeply trusted by Emperor Han Cheng, and was soon promoted to the captain of the guard, in charge of the palace guards, and became one of the nine kings.

At this time, Da Sima Wang Gen was about to retire, and many people thought that Chun Yuchang should succeed Da Sima. In order to win over his competitors in his career, Wang Mang secretly collected Chun Yuchang's crimes. Then Wang Mang took the opportunity of the visit to tell Wang Gen that Chun Yuchang was secretly ready to take over as the Great Sima, and that he had made wishes to many people to be crowned officials, and at the same time told Chun Yuchang about his affair with the deposed queen Xu. Wang Gen was furious and asked him to report to the Empress Dowager as soon as possible, and the Empress Dowager asked Emperor Cheng to depose Chun Yuchang, find out his crimes, and kill him in prison.

Chun Yuchang's death is certainly self-inflicted, but if it weren't for Wang Mang's secret telling, I'm afraid Wang Gen wouldn't have been able to know about Chun Yuchang's affairs until he died.

It can be said that Chun Yuchang's loss of power and even death is probably Wang Mang's deliberate intention, in order to solve one of his fierce opponents on the road to further progress.

After Emperor Ping of Han ascended the throne, Wang Mang feared that Emperor Ping's relatives, the Wei family, would divide his power, so he sealed Emperor Ping's mother, the Wei family, and her family to Zhongshan and forbade them to return to Beijing. Wang Mang's eldest son, Wang Yu, was afraid that Emperor Ping would resent and retaliate in the future, so he strongly opposed this matter, but Wang Mang did not listen to the advice. After Wang Yu consulted with his teacher Wu Zhang, he wanted to use superstitious methods to make Wang Mang change his mind, so he ordered his wife and uncle Lü Kuan to sprinkle blood wine on the gate of Wang Mang's residence, and then wanted to use this as a vision to persuade Wang Mang to hand over power to Wei.

But when it was discovered during the implementation, Wang Mang was furious, arrested his son Wang Yu and poisoned him after being imprisoned. Then he took this opportunity to frame and kill his relatives and the Wei family, implicate and punish the local heroes who opposed him, and forced to kill Princess Jingwu, King Liu Li of Liang and other political enemies in the DPRK and China. Hundreds of people were killed in the incident, and the sea was shaken. In order to eliminate the negative impact, Wang Mang also made people publicize this incident as Wang Mang's feat of "destroying relatives with righteousness and forgetting selfishness", and even wrote praise articles and distributed them everywhere, so that officials and ordinary people could recite these articles, and then registered them in the official archives, and taught the world these articles as "The Book of Filial Piety".

It can be seen that Wang Mang in this period has actually exposed his true face.

......

And Wang Mang of this world can be said to be the biggest rival of the emperor Yingxiu, and there is no one......
