Lu Yun stepped into the Western Han Dynasty.

The capital of the Western Han Dynasty is also located in Chang'an.

As the main palace of the Western Han Dynasty, Weiyang Palace has survived for 1041 years, and it is the palace with the most dynasties and the longest surviving time in history.

And this Weiyang Palace is indeed magnificent enough.

Among the palaces that Lu Yun has seen, they can be ranked in the top three.

However, Weiyang Palace is not Lu Yun's focus.

Although Lu Yun came directly to 45 BC when Wang Mang was born, Wang Mang was not born in Chang'an......

The main reason why he came to this point in time is because I don't know when Wang Mang came to Chang'an......

The historical records are not detailed, so Lu Yun can only go back year by himself.

Soon, Lu Yun found Wang Mang, who came to Chang'an to live with his uncle after his father and brother died.

The year was 40 BC, and Wang Mang was five years old.

And this five-year-old guy has already begun to show his difference.

You must know that the Wang family in the late Western Han Dynasty can be said to be in favor of the government and the opposition, nine people are marquis, five people serve as the great Sima, among which there are many generals and candidates.

Most of the children of the Wang family are lustful and live extravagantly.

But Wang Mang is different.

I don't know if it's because of the early death of his father and brother, Wang Mang, who was raised by his mother alone, is quite good at observing words and emotions and disguising his desires...... This is also the reason why he is different, Wang Mang's life is quite simple, pure and humble.

However, Wang Mang didn't know that there was a person who was secretly observing, waiting for the opportunity.

July 8, 39 B.C.E.

This year, Wang Mang was six years old.

The night......

Take advantage of the dark moon and high winds.

Lu Yun stood in front of Wang Mang's couch, who was asleep.

Wang Mang was sleeping uprightly, but the corners of Lu Yun's mouth had a hint of a smile.

……

……

Xiao Wang Mang only felt a sense of weightlessness, and then woke up suddenly.

He had just woken up, only to find himself sitting on the cold ground.

The ground was pitch black, yet extremely flat.

This made Xiao Wang Mang a little surprised.

But when he raised his head, his eyes immediately widened, and he was horrified when he looked at the magnificent high-rise building in front of him!

"This is...... In a dream? ”

This sudden impact made Xiao Wang Mang's heart full of fear.

A six-year-old boy suddenly went from 2,000 years ago to the 21st century in the dark of night...... It's normal for him to be at a loss......

Lu Yun threw Wang Mang to Yanjing in 2008.

Such a change, such an unfamiliar environment, made Xiao Wang Mang's heart full of fear.

He flattened his mouth and began to cry aloud.

Such a cry was heard by the orphanage aunt who was keeping vigil, and she hurriedly went out and saw this person with strange hair tied in a strange bun and wearing a silk ...... "Pajamas?" Little boy.

The aunt asked him softly, "What's wrong?" What about your parents? ”

And this pronunciation, Xiao Wang Mang couldn't understand it at all.

But he subconsciously felt close to this gentle adult woman.

So she took her hand and walked towards the small building that didn't look as powerful as those huge tall buildings.

Lu Yun was hiding in the dark, and when he saw that Xiao Wang Mang was brought into the Yanjing Orphanage, he already had a spectrum in his heart.

Although this is bound to have some impact on the timeline......

This effect, for the timeline, is completely insignificant.

It doesn't even leave any traces.

And Lu Yun was also very kind to Wang Mang in 2008, Yanjing's orphanage.

You must know that at this time, Lu Yun has already brought a large amount of money from the collapsed rice stock market.

In addition to the four trillion allocated by the Dragon Kingdom to revive the economy, the treatment of the orphanage is far stronger than Lu Yun's original timeline.

As mentioned earlier, after refreshing the world line in 2008, Lu Yun's parallel memories have improved the happiness index of childhood a lot.

"I hope you're having a good time."

Lu Yun stepped into the space-time gate again.

Half a year later, in March 2009.

Then he found Wang Mang, who had been integrated into the orphanage.

Lu Yun was surprised to find that this little Wang Mang's adaptability was indeed extremely strong.

Not only is he fluent in Mandarin, but he has also become a favorite of his aunts in the orphanage.

"Okay......"

"It's worthy of acting."

Although Wang Mang's father died early, his mother is still alive.

However, for the Han Dynasty, the life of a child whose father died can actually be said to be extremely difficult, which constitutes Wang Mang's character of disguising himself in order to please others.

In addition, this guy has talent himself, so he is at home no matter where he is.

On the evening of April 3, 2009.

Lu Yun reappeared beside Wang Mang's bedside.

He slept soundly and seemed to have accepted such a life.

"But life is cruel after all."

There was a hint of a smile on the corner of Lu Yun's mouth.

Then he grabbed the back of Wang Mang's neck and carried him directly back to the Wang family's mansion on the night of July 8, 39 BC, and brought it back to the couch where Lu Yun took him away.

Wang Mang suddenly woke up again.

“？”

He looked at everything in front of him in amazement, with surprise on his face, but he felt a burst of trance, a little dizzy.

"Those...... Are they all dreams? ”

"But ......"

He patted his chest and took a few hard breaths of air.

But he didn't find anything else, so he could only take it as a real dream and fall asleep again.

The next day, Xiao Wang Mang's mother saw him and said in surprise: "My son has grown a lot overnight!?" ”

Wang Mang reacted for a long time before he figured out what his mother was talking about.

After all, the pronunciation in the Han Dynasty is still very different from that in the 21st century.

Qu Shi asked worriedly:

"Where's my bedding?"

"Why is my hair broken?"

At this time, Wang Mang touched his hair, and there was a bang in his brain: "That dream has come true!?" ”

Wang Mang's mother, Qu Shi, was extremely surprised, and her eyes were full of incomprehension.

Wang Mang was just a child after all, and he said in surprise: "Mother, my son fell asleep yesterday, and what he saw was extremely novel!" ”

After hearing this, Qu was very nervous:

"Son, don't talk about this dream with others!"

"Woe to you!"

"This is broken...... It is said that the candle flame was lit yesterday and is not finished! ”

Another half a year passed in the days of the Han Dynasty......

By February 6, 38 B.C.E.

Lu Yun brought him back to the bed in the early morning of April 3, 2009, in the Yanjing Orphanage.

This is Lu Yun's strategy.

Let Wang Mang have two lives and two memories.

One of them is in the Western Han Dynasty, and the other is in the 21st century.

Lu Yun is like a suturing machine, every six months, he changes Wang Mang's era.

Because when Lu Yun changed the era for Wang Mang, he always changed back to the second after he disappeared after the previous era.

So it's a stitching machine......

In this way, whether it is for the 21st century or for the end of the Western Han Dynasty, Wang Mang's existence is continuous.

Except for himself, he did not cause any abnormalities to others.

But the trouble is that when he was brought back from the Western Han Dynasty, he had to get his hair done as quickly as possible.

That's exactly what it does......

made Wang Mang, who was not originally a traverser, become a traverser.

……

Wang Mang woke up again.

Looking at the orphanage bedroom of this collective Datongpu, Wang Mang opened his mouth.

His immature face showed a somewhat helpless expression.

However, at the age of seven this year, he already has a strong ability to accept.

Although he was surprised, he did not say anything.

just pinched himself silently, even if the tears of pain were about to come out, he didn't feel anything wrong.

If it were an ordinary person, most of them would be crazy at this time.

But Wang Mang was extraordinary after all, he quickly accepted the result, then gritted his teeth, viciously covered himself with a quilt, and fell asleep.

The next morning, the orphanage aunt looked at Wang Mang who was queuing up to make porridge, and said with some surprise:

"Huh? I said, is this little Wang getting bigger? ”

"Yes, this kid is just growing his body, but it's strange that it has risen so much in one night."

"Xiao Wang, aunt gave you a piece of meat, don't tell your friends!"

Xiao Wang Mang is not so happy, but this does not prevent him from smiling very cute and sweet.

And this year, Wang Mang also received the enlightenment education of the orphanage with other orphans.

Although the education and compulsory education in this orphanage are somewhat different, Wang Mang seems to have plunged headlong into the ocean of learning.

In this way, time passed day by day, and he frequently shuttled between the Western Han Dynasty and the 21st century.

Soon, Wang Mang also found this rule.

Every six months, my neck hurts.

But every time it hurts, you travel to a different world.

Under the influence of modern times, Xiao Wang Mang involuntarily began to compare the two eras that he transferred every six months, what is the difference.

He gradually realized:

"In this era, there are no slaves, the fields belong to the state, and everyone is equal to ordinary people."

"In this era, learning is very important to change destiny, and learning from excellent people can make the country strong."

"In this era, the prices of all goods are regulated in the same way, and there will be no special changes that will lead to a large number of famines......

In math class, he saw vernier calipers.

Wang Mang was extremely impressed by this thing, and he thought it was simply wonderful.

The scale can be measured extremely accurately, without the need for repeated comparisons like ordinary rulers.

While listening to those aunts chatting, he even heard some stories about the Han Dynasty.

Although he was scattered and not impressed, he heard the word "Liu Xiu".

Xiao Wang Mang didn't remember anything else, but he just remembered these two words.

"Liu Xiu?"

"Who is Liu Xiu?"

At this time, Liu Xiu was not yet born.

But he felt that this was his fateful opponent......

In this way, in the shuttle every six months, but the time is not so fixed, Wang Mang has passed four and a half years in the 21st century, and at the same time in the Western Han Dynasty.

On this evening of April 7, 2013.

He suddenly returned to the end of the Western Han Dynasty, on September 7, 35 BC.

Wang Mang felt that he had been slammed on the couch, and suddenly woke up, and felt a pain in the back of his neck.

"Are you back?"

In the past nine years, Wang Mang has become accustomed to shuttling back and forth like this.

He didn't make any extra movements, just lay down on the couch again and slept peacefully.

He thought that in half a year, he would be able to go back to the world over there, back to that orphanage.

But...... Wang Mang counted the days and waited for more than seven months.

And this time, he did not return to the twenty-first century.

This made Wang Mang a little disappointed.

Although he didn't know why he didn't go back to that world......

But he realized that he might never go back.

However, Wang Mang has secretly made a grand wish in his heart.

Everything he had seen in the future was rumbling in his chest.

"I am the chosen one, and I have the knowledge of the prosperity of the Celestial Empire!"

"Liu Han is a dog, I will set up a new dynasty as a career!"

In the 21st century, he has not learned much, but he has also learned a lot of new knowledge.

Wang Mang is still habitually disguising himself, but he is stepping towards his ideals step by step with firm steps.

Even if Lu Yun doesn't do anything, with such a character, he will definitely become a generation of heroes. And history itself is like this, Lu Yun just added a little left material to Wang Mang's life.

Lu Yun watched Wang Mang hide these many secrets in his heart, so naturally he didn't interfere with anything.

For the "Xiao Wang" of the Yenching orphanage who disappeared in 2013, it did not make any waves.

At that time, Skynet was not mature enough, and there were no longer a few orphans who left the orphanage and disappeared into society.

After all, they are all rootless duckweed......

There are really very few people who really care about them.

So except for one of the orphanage aunts who occasionally went to the police station to ask in her busy schedule, she stopped going after a few times.

Coupled with the correction of the timeline to the world line, Wang Mang's experience of staying in an orphanage from September 2008 to February 2013 for four and a half years seems to have never appeared.

Even the memories of his former existence are being rapidly replaced and forgotten......

As for the reason why Lu Yun did not let Wang Mang return to the 21st century, it was because Wang Mang's actual age at this time was already fifteen years old.

But whether it was in the Western Han Dynasty or in the 21st century, Wang Mang was only in his early teens at that point in time.

After all, it looks okay now, and the age of the teenagers seems to be a little different, but the gap is not big.

At best, it can be explained as a bit precocious.

But if the gap is widened, it will be different.

If he is really allowed to stay from the age of six for 12 years in the 21st century and reach the age of leaving the orphanage, then add the 12 years of the Western Han Dynasty, then for Wang Mang, it will be 24 years, and his actual age will reach 30 years old......

And the thirty-year-old man had just left the orphanage...... This kind of thing doesn't have to be without effect.

However, for Lu Yun, the really important point is ......

Wang Mang's real recorded age in history was around the age of ten years.

No matter how much it is, I'm afraid there will be other changes.

After that's done...... Lu Yun re-stepped into the door of time and space.

There were no fluctuations on the timeline.

It's as if nothing happened.

There is no change in the history of Wang Mang's records.

Even if he really started to be regent, even if he really became emperor in the end and established a "new dynasty" after the Western Han Dynasty, there was no way to fundamentally change anything.

The general trend of the world cannot be changed by the strength of one person.

Everything he did not only did not make the situation of the Western Han Dynasty better, but it can even be said that it was taking a sharp turn for the worse.

A hero who is good at forbearance and disguise......

What he brought to the Western Han Dynasty was only the system, not the ideology.

However, the actual institutional change is not considered......

It can only be said that it is a stinky chess step by step.

Such a change is ultimately doomed to be nothing to change.

Even though certain contradictions have been alleviated, the fundamental problems have not been resolved.

Although his intentions were good, many of the decrees he issued during his reign were contrary to reality.

After the backlash, Wang Mang began to punish the law harshly...... And this has exacerbated the turmoil.

He killed many people named Liu Xiu or Liu Xiu's stand-ins......

But he didn't kill the real Liu Xiu.

Chaos after adding swelling and assertiveness......

Ultimately......

The new dynasty is still dead for fifteen years.

Lu Yun only created the fact that Wang Mang was a traverser, but he did not do anything else in the Western Han Dynasty.

And everything created by "Wang Mang the Traveler" is no different from what should have happened on the timeline.

This may be caused by Wang Mang's own character......

Or rather, this is the inevitability of history.

Just like Li Shimin, who is still dead for another twenty-three years, the people in the bureau alone cannot make any changes.

Wang Mang still died in the Green Forest Uprising, four years after the death of the Earth Emperor.

……

In 25 AD, Liu Xiu ascended the throne.

When Liu Xiu ascended the throne in Weiyang Palace, he found that a tribute that Wang Mang loved very much had disappeared.

But Liu Xiu didn't care at all, as if it didn't exist in the first place.

This is because ......

Lu Yun took the Venerable Ding to a place on the outskirts of Chang'an, and confirmed that there would be no changes here in the next two thousand years.

Then he buried it, and buried it very deeply.

On it, there are some symbols that no one can understand during this time period.

Only the dead Wang Mang knew that this was a memory he once had.

And this is the impact of Lu Yun's plan on the timeline, and it is the result of the final point.

It is also the goal of Lu Yun's trip.

Although Lu Yun can also choose to find a random object by himself, and then engrave something as evidence of Wang Mang's traverser......

But this approach is not stable enough.

Compared with this way, everything Lu Yun did at this time was completely a fact that happened on the timeline.

This is undeniable, both for the world and for the timeline.

And for Lu Yun......

After all, this is a self-initiated corrective operation that starts before the task arises, and it is only natural to be cautious in order to ensure the success of the operation.

Lu Yun will let this statue sleep underground for nearly two thousand years.

It will then be excavated on October 30, 2023.

And wait until this tripod is seen again......

The embossed ninety-nine multiplication table on its body will shake the whole world.
