A big dream in the sky, several spring and autumn in the world.

Since the collapse of Emperor Xiaoshao Liu Yun, the Han Dynasty has been like a calm pool, calm and calm, without seeing half of the waves, no one wants to know what kind of turbulent waves are under the quiet water.

In this way, spring goes and autumn comes, the cold winter is cold, the heat is becoming more and more unbearable, year after year, the calm court is moving forward, but the calm atmosphere is brewing in the world.

It wasn't until the condensed general trend that Ji Zhao had been paying attention to was completely formed, and the big events brewing in the world itself began.

On that day, there were white rainbows running through the sun, there was a fire surging, and a meteor shower fell in the county of Dahan, and countless points of light fell with the meteor shower, and there were faint purple spots in the light spots.

Ji Lingjun instantly felt a little familiar from above, and there was a trace of the same smell on the Phoenix Heavenly Destiny in her body.

"Ancestor, is this what you mean by an unprecedented change?

Is it because of this big change that the family wants to come down from the high platform? ”

So many Mandates of Heaven are scattered in the world, almost everywhere, Ji Zhao raised his eyebrows, is this the new way of playing the Mandate of Heaven in the world?

How can there be an eternal immortality in the world? How can there be an immortal Celestial Empire in the world?

The moment you step on the top of the mountain, you will be in the abyss.

The glory of the Han Dynasty is engraved on the green history, and the deeds of the holy king are reflected in the long river of history, but everything will come to an end.

When it leaves only a rotting body, and the uplifting spirit of the past is completely decayed, is it not better to die a splendid death than to live a long life?

O sage with a mission, he will smash open this dark world with light and virtue.

Large Expansion: The End of the Han Empire begins.

The world is perfected, so please explore it as much as your family wants. 】

The voice that the system has not heard for a long time sounded at the right time, in the continuous reversal of the Mandate of Heaven failure, and under the rotten position of these years, it is probably really powerless, and the contradictory situation in the world has been set up here, so it is logical that the new expansion has begun.

The end of the Han Empire!

This was actually expected by Ji Zhao, Xiu'er and Wang Mang, although he didn't know if these two people would appear, after all, the world was already very different.

But if they appear, these two people must have different qualities, Xiu'er's popularity and reputation needless to say, Wang Mang is actually not weak, especially in modern times, Wang Mang's evaluation is not low.

Now that the mandate of heaven is no longer attributed to one person, Liu Xiu may not really be able to win the world!

Even judging from the changes in the previous Bang Zhou and Qin and Han dynasties, these historically famous emperors may not be able to ascend to the throne normally.

…………

"Learn and learn, don't you also say?"

“……”

"Township dies for the sake of ......"

The sound of reading aloud sounded in the private school, and the great Confucian who taught looked at this prosperous scene and couldn't help but smile.

The way of the sages has been developed for hundreds of years, and it has been continuously studied in practice, and it has reached the point where it is now flourishing and cannot be broken.

After hundreds of years of development in the Han Dynasty, especially after the opening of private learning, the style of folk preaching and preaching prevailed, and a large number of scholars appeared.

These poet-laden scholars were in fact the most powerful force in the political arena.

However, it is usually more divided, dependent on clan relatives, relatives and other forces, after all, the current three princes are basically clan relatives and relatives.

Even if there is a scholar as the prime minister, there will definitely be a general from a relative or a royal historian from a clan to check and balance.

There are several main ways for these scholars to go, to promote filial piety and honesty, to show talent, and to enter the imperial court, and the future is the most ambitious.

If there is no such opportunity, then enter the county, accept the requisition of the county guard and the county order, and then have the same opportunity to be recommended and enter the imperial court.

The other is to take the path of the princes, the status of the princes and kings is basically equivalent to the county guard, and the town guard is also fragrant and sweet, and this group of people has a quota to recommend to the court.

Even if they are not recommended to the imperial court, it is not difficult for these people to make connections in the counties of Kanto to find an official job.

In this world, there are always capable people who gradually replace those who are less capable, and scholars are better than the nobles of the bloodline and even the nobles of the heavenly family.

From intrigue to governance, and even military affairs, these scholars can blow up the former.

Even if the former relies on the dignity of birth to occupy the upper position, the scholars can only bow down and be small, but from the bottom of their hearts, they do not look down on those who show off their power only by blood.

In a small pavilion, the two were playing against each other, and a white-faced scholar pressed a chess piece and sighed slightly: "When today's fatigue has reached this point, the number of people who have risen up is increasing, but the court is still drunk and dreaming of death.

If you don't reform the system, you still let the powerful run rampant lawlessly, and the officials and the people eat the people, how much suffering will Li Shu have to suffer in this world? ”

The clothes on the scholar's body are very clean, but they are obviously a little old, and there are even two patches on the cuffs, and he is also wearing plain clothes inside, without any decoration, quite simple, but not surprising, because his name is Wang Mang.

He was well-known in the county, filial piety and courtesy, courteous and sincere to his elders, diligent and thrifty, always using money to help the weak and unlucky, but he was not willing to use even a beautiful dress.

He had a high prestige among the scholars in the county, and after entering the county through filial piety, he still served in the county, but his prestige gradually spread to the court.

The person who played against Wang Mang sighed slightly when he heard this: "The strength of the imperial court is strong, and the people who have risen up now are far inferior to the last years of the Emperor, who could not threaten the princes and emperors of Guanzhong, and the Han Dynasty is still very stable, according to today's trend, there is no problem in surviving for more than two hundred years." ”

Wang Mang didn't have a good impression of these corpse vegetarian ministers, and snorted coldly: "Dahan Sheji?

The people are precious, the monarch is light, and the society is secondary, what is the use of the monarch who cannot govern the people?

What is the use of a society that cannot flourish?

In order to let those ministers get drunk and dream, extravagant and corrupt, morally corrupt, and forget the teachings of the ancestors, can they still be at ease? ”

seems to know Wang Mang's character quite well, and his friend didn't say anything about this rather deviant remark, just sighed heavily.

Wang Mang looked at the black and white chess pieces on the chessboard, paused, and then said in a resolute tone: "I am going to accept the call of the imperial court and go to Chang'an." ”

This surprised his friend, but he didn't expect Wang Mang, who was reluctant to go to Chang'an before, to change his mind, and couldn't help but ask with some surprise: "Jujun, why did you suddenly have such an idea?" ”

Wang Mang's face was gloomy and he said: "Mang has figured it out, crying day and night, can it make this world prosperous?"

Can the disadvantages of the times be touched by the princes and emperors of the imperial court?

Only by going into battle in person can the world prosper!

If you want to do things, you must have enough power, and King Luowen, Marquis Wulie and Duke Zhaozhong Yigong were all extremely powerful ministers who could easily reform.

Now that Wang Xuanhe is in power, the general trend of the world is gradually tilting towards us, and it is time to go to Chang'an.

When I become a supreme minister, I will restart the way of Zhao Zhong Yi Gong, and I will go one step further than Zhao Zhong Yi Gong to completely solve the plundering of Li Shu by Haoqiang.

Just restoring the rule of Emperor Xiaowen is not what I want, but it has collapsed to such a situation in a hundred years, and several times in the history books, only the royal road of the Bang Zhou Luo Kingdom in the past has ruled the world for the longest time.

The closest to the world of Datong in the sage texts!

Leading the people of the world into the world of great harmony is the unshirkable responsibility of our generation in this world. ”

"Jujun, you are really too radical, this is overkill, as long as you can restore the world to the time of Emperor Xiaocheng, it is enough."

Wang Mang pressed a chess piece and said: "But the regularity is not enough to overkill, without thunderbolt means, you can't break through the darkness shrouded in the big Han, and if you don't seek the best, how can you get a good result?"

I once studied in Zhaocheng and saw first-hand how Luo's governs the country, and as long as I hold on to integrity and lead by example, I can attract like-minded people and get the world back on track. ”

The friend shook his head when he heard this, he didn't agree with Wang Mang's approach and ideas, but he had great trust in Wang Mang's morality, because he had been doing this for 20 years, who could not admire him?

In the eyes of all those who know and understand Wang Mang, Wang Mang is an almost perfect Confucian scholar, with the character of a saint, treating everyone equally, compassionate, not flattering, not bullying, in the wonderful circle of magnates, is a clear stream.

It was this reputation that made Wang Mang's elders value him, and his prestige among the scholars made the voice calling for him to be an official very high.

Wang Mang's resignation made the imperial court even more inevitable.

"Smack!"

The friend pressed the white son and said softly: "Jujun, you lost." ”

Wang Mang looked at the chaotic chessboard, a little puzzled, and didn't know why the situation suddenly reversed, and his friend pointed to one place and said: "You are too focused on one place, so you are defeated on the overall situation." ”

Wang Mang nodded, so it was, tidied up his crown robe, got up and left.

Looking at the figure of Wang Mang leaving, the friend frowned slightly, recalled what Wang Mang said just now, and looked at the black and white pieces on the chessboard.

————

Wang Mang is a complex person, he was born in a wealthy family but lived a simple life, but he was able to guard himself when the children of the aristocracy were generally depraved and extravagant, he was full of a sense of justice, like the vast majority of scholars, he liked to needle the disadvantages of the times, hoped for change, and put it into practice.

If all of this is a gesture made for the sake of ascending to a high position, this is even more incomprehensible to the author, because after he has achieved his goal, he still does this, treating most people with dignity and humility.

He was the moral model and reform pioneer of the dark era when the dynasty was gradually collapsing, and was pushed out by the scholars, but a new question was put in front of everyone, why him?

Is this a choice of fate, or is it the inevitability of personal struggle? - "The Biography of Wang Mang"
