However, it is said that after the death of Emperor Wai, Wang Mang discussed with the Empress Dowager and set up Zhongshan Wang Jizi as his heir. Jizi is the younger brother of Emperor Mourning, that is, Liu Xing's heir, Feng Jieyu's grandson. After Feng Jieyu's death, Ji Zi Xing did not sit in a row and still attacked the king. At that moment, Wang Shun, the general of the chariot cavalry, was sent to greet him. Wang Shun is Wang Yinzi, Wang Mang's younger brother, and the Empress Dowager has always loved Wang Shun, so he made a special envoy to welcome the Lord and make meritorious contributions.

Soon Wang Shun welcomed the Jizi, and Wang Mang was ordered by the Empress Dowager to support him to ascend the throne and change his name to Emperor Ping. Emperor Ping was nine years old when he ascended to the pole, and the Queen Mother came to the court in person because she was young and often sick, and all the government affairs were cut off by Wang Mang. Wang Mang was authoritarian, so he said to the queen mother: "The Empress Dowager Zhao and her sister Zhao Hede used to kill the prince; Empress Fu's father, Fu Yan, was arrogant and lawless when he mourned the emperor, but Empress Fu did not stop him. When it comes to the two queens, please demote the two queens to their honorific titles and move out of Weiyang Palace together. The Queen Mother complied one by one. Wang Mang immediately passed on the edict of the Empress Dowager, demoted the Empress Dowager Zhao to Empress Xiaocheng, ordered her to move to the North Palace, and moved Empress Fu to the Gui Palace. The second queen knew that Wang Mang was playing tricks, but because the queen mother had a will, she had to obey it. Who knew that Wang Mang then asked the Queen Mother to demote Empress Zhao and Empress Fu to concubines. When the second queen heard about it, she was very angry, thinking that as the emperor, she was deposed by her courtiers, what kind of face did she have? It is better to find suicide as soon as possible to avoid this humiliation, so they committed suicide in the palace respectively.

After Wang Mang forced the second killing, he ordered Yousi to play the sins of Ding and Fu, and Wang Mang took advantage of this topic to ask the Empress Dowager Fu to be demoted to the queen mother of Dingtao, and the Empress Dowager Ding was demoted to Ding Ji. All the children of the Ding Fu family were exempted from official positions and returned to the country. The former great Sima Fu Xi was summoned to the capital, and he was invited by the court.

The Queen Mother is usually angry with Fu and Zhao Erhou, and when she saw Wang Mang venting her anger for herself, she naturally secretly rejoiced.

When it comes to the advantages and disadvantages of the four queens, it is not a pity that the Empress Dowager Zhao died of adultery during her lifetime; Empress Dowager Fu is very good at it, and she should have this; Ding Ji's mother has never heard of her son's interference in politics; Empress Fu was even more innocent, Wang Mang deposed her and committed suicide, which was really unjustly dead.

Suddenly, there was a report on the funeral order of the righteous mausoleum, saying that no one moved the divine clothes hidden in the mausoleum, but it would move on its own and move on the bed; It was also reported that there was a woman in the north surnamed Zhao Mingchun, who died of illness, and her family put her in a coffin. After six days, he was about to carry the coffin to be buried, when he suddenly saw Zhao Chun walking out of the coffin and still alive. The crowd contended for the reason. Zhao Chun replied: "After I died, when I saw my father and husband who had died, they said that I should not die before my yang life ended, and I was unknowingly out of the coffin.

Soon someone said that a woman in Chang'an had never married, and suddenly became pregnant, and gave birth to a son with two heads, four arms, and eyes on the buttocks, which grew to two inches.

Wang Mang heard several strange things one after another, and was about to fake auspicious Rui to praise everyone, so he secretly sent people to the outside of the Saiwai and said to a group of barbarians: "You can call yourself Yueshang, and you will be rewarded for one of the white pheasants in the Han Dynasty." "The barbarians came to the Han Dynasty according to the instructions of the people, and called the Yueshang clan to pay tribute to the white pheasant. Wang Mang was overjoyed, and ordered a reward for a lot of wealth and silk, and sent him back.

All the officials wanted to please Wang Mang, so they played to the Queen Mother together: "In the past, Zhou Gongfu Zhou, the Yue Shang clan had a pheasant offering; Now Wang Mang assists Hande with the Duke of Zhou, so the Yue Shang clan also came to offer the white pheasant. Zhou Gong has made great contributions, and he has been given the name Zhou; Wang Mang has the merit of stabilizing the Han Dynasty, and should also be given the title of An Han Gong, and please seal 30,000 households to show excellence. The queen mother immediately approved this performance. Wang Mang deliberately wrote and said: "The ministers and Kong Guang and others made a plan to welcome the king of Zhongshan to secure Sheji. Please reward Kong Guang and others for their meritorious deeds, and the ministers do not need to be gracious. The Queen Mother hesitated when she saw the book. Kong Guang hurriedly said to the Queen Mother: "You have the merit of Anzong Temple, if you don't seal it now, you can't see the fairness of rewards and punishments." The queen mother immediately named Wang Mang as the princess, gave the title of An Han Gong, and added 28,000 households.

Wang Mang received this edict, and pretended to be panicked, and the last dynasty accepted the official position of Taifu and the name of Anhan, and returned the fiefdom.

At that time, a group of courtiers occasionally had private discussions, saying that Emperor Ping was the heir, and his biological mother Wei Ji was not sealed, so he couldn't help but be angry. Wang Mang was afraid that Wei Ji would enter the palace and interfere in national affairs. But if you don't add Wei Ji and can't plug the mouths, he will send the young Fu Zhen Feng to Zhongshan, and seal Wei Ji as the queen of Zhongshan Xiao, the emperor's uncle Wei Bao, Wei Xuanjue Guan Neihou, but stay in Zhongshan and can't come to Beijing.

However, it is said that after the death of the Hun king Hu Han Evil, his son carved Tao Mo Gao as the heir, carved Tao Mo Gao from the Hu customs, married Hu Han Evil Concubine Wang Zhaojun as his wife, and gave birth to two daughters. The eldest daughter is the second, the second daughter is second, and the two daughters have grown up and married. Carved pottery Mo Gao has three younger brothers, one and Mi Xu, one and Mo Che, and one is a bag Zhiyasi. When Hu Han Xie was dying, he ordered to carve Tao Mo Gao to pass on the throne to his younger brother after his death, and succeeded him in turn. Later, Mo Gao died, and then passed on the throne and Mi Xu. And Mi Xu died, and it was passed on to Mo Che. And Mo Che died again, and Nang Zhiya was established as a single Yu.

One day, Wang Mang remembered Wang Zhaojun's two daughters, so he ordered Shan Yu to send the two daughters to serve the queen mother. The Huns were afraid of submission, that is, they summoned Su Bu Juci and the second daughter of Juci to inform him of this.

The second daughter secretly thought that her mother's family lived in China, and this opportunity should not be missed. Moreover, my mother had also learned Chinese Chinese in Japan, so she did not suffer from language barriers. The second daughter hurriedly agreed, said goodbye to Shan Yu and went home on the same day, and asked to accompany her husband.

All the way to the journey, but seeing the wind and sand full of camels and horses, it took many days to get to Yumen Pass, and the soldiers guarding the pass found out the origin and opened and released. After the second daughter entered the customs, it took a long time to arrive in Beijing. Some officials brought them into the building and reported them to the court.

Wang Mang informed the Queen Mother of this matter. The Queen Mother was very pleased, and immediately ordered someone to summon the second daughter. Although the second daughter is dressed in fan, her appearance is also quite moving; In addition, he can speak a few words of Chinese and North Korean language, and the kneeling response is roughly like a ritual. The Queen Mother praised her and gave her a lot of money.

Time flies, it's another year, Wang Zhaojun's two daughters miss their hometown and beg to be repatriated. The queen mother did not stop her, and ordered her to return to the north, and before leaving, she was rewarded with a lot of treasures, and the two daughters danced away. Emperor Ping was only twelve years old, and his love had not yet opened, but it was very unusual to see the words and deeds of the two daughters, so every time they met, they were eye-catching. Wang Mang then told the Empress Dowager that she should choose a marriage for Emperor Ping, and the Empress Dowager had no objection. Wang Mang said that the Son of Heaven should marry twelve daughters in order to have more male sons and heirs, so he issued an edict ordering Yousi to choose the good daughters of the family to make a book and submit it.

Yousi was instructed to select children from each family of the minister. Everyone wants their daughter to be the queen, so that they can rely on her to be the prince. So there are women who put their daughters in powder and jade to choose from.

Wang Mang went through the exhibition first, and saw that in addition to his own daughter, several of the selected ones were also Wang's children. Wang Mang secretly thought that my daughter and the daughters of the Wang family would choose more than one, and the queen mother would definitely treat my daughter and the daughters of the Wang family equally, so that my daughter might not be able to be the queen. Today's plan is only to retreat as advance, and then let people please choose my daughter, which is the perfect strategy.

Wang Mang's idea was established, so he played to the queen mother: "The courtiers are only inferior, and they are not worthy of being ranked with all the women. When the Queen Mother saw the performance, she issued an edict and said: "The daughters of the Wang family are from my foreign family, and there is no need to choose a division." ”

There is a division to this edict, the Wang family of the daughters are all removed, soon there are many courtiers played, said that An Han Gong has made outstanding contributions, and now the queen is elected, and everyone in the world hopes that the daughter of An Han Gong is the mother of the world. The ministers played, but the Queen Mother had not answered. He also reported that countless officials came down, and everyone had a book to submit, saying that Wang Mang's daughter was handsome, virtuous, and should be in the middle palace. Wang Mang pretended to stop it. It's strange to say, the more Wang Mang stops it, the more people write the book, and they haven't seen Wang Mang's daughter, but they all say that she is beautiful and generous and livable in the middle palace, and the queen mother has to follow the public's wishes.

Wang Mang knew that the Queen Mother had made up her mind to set up his daughter, so he no longer refused, so he continued to discuss the dowry. According to the story of the first hiring, the gold is 20,000 catties and the money is 20,000 yuan. Wang Mang still asked to choose another eleven daughters, and he only received 40 million yuan in dowry money, and the rest was distributed to each family. Each family received this gold, and although their daughters were not allowed to be queens, they were all overjoyed.

Time passed quickly, and I didn't realize that it was the second day of February in the first four years of the Yuan Dynasty, and the date of Emperor Ping's wedding had arrived. Wang Mang ordered his daughter to dress neatly, receive the queen's seal, and enter the palace. When there is a ceremonial official, according to the etiquette, lead the thirteen-year-old little emperor to marry the reckless girl. The reckless woman was about the same age as Emperor Ping, and she did not know etiquette, thanks to the guidance of male and female maids. After the ceremony is completed, an amnesty will be issued, and all the three princes and below will be rewarded.

But he said that Emperor Ping was getting older, and he had nothing to do in the palace one day, and he suddenly found out that Wang Mang had killed the Wei family, and he was not allowed to see his biological mother Empress Wei, so it was intolerable to be so poisonous, so he often showed gloom when he met Wang Mang, and there were complaints behind his back. Most of the palace attendants are Wang Mang's eyes and ears, of course, some people report it. Wang Mang saw that this son-in-law was growing up day by day and becoming more and more politically mature, and he was very afraid that one day he would be planted in his hands, thinking that the Han family was already in control, and his daughter would be able to remarry in the future. I'm better at preemptively! The opinion has been decided, and it is not consulted with others.

In 5 AD, the ministers gathered together to congratulate Emperor Ping of Han on his birthday. Wang Mang offered a glass of wine to the emperor to celebrate his birthday, and after Emperor Ping drank this wine, the toxicity attacked at night, and the abdominal pain was unbearable. Wang Mang was overjoyed when he learned that Emperor Ping had a poisonous drink, but in order to hide people's eyes, he hypocritically imitated the story of Zhou Gong's prayer for King Wu, and sealed his prayer that he was willing to die in the box to show his loyalty. A few days later, Emperor Ping of Han died.

Emperor Ping died, Wang Mang pretended to be mournful at the funeral, honored as Emperor Xiaoping, buried Kangling, and ordered officials to mourn for three years. Because Emperor Ping had no heirs, the Empress Dowager specially summoned a meeting of ministers to establish a prince. The descendants of Emperor Shiyuan have been extinct, and there are five kings and forty-eight princes among the great-grandsons of Emperor Xuan. The ministers planned to appoint one of the five kings and princes. Wang Mang said sharply: "The five kings and the liehous are all brothers of Emperor Daxing, and they cannot be successively queens, so they should be elected among the great-grandsons of Emperor Xuan." Wang Mangli said this when he was young, and the ministers didn't dare to speak out when they heard it. Emperor Xuan's great-grandson has a total of twenty-three people, Wang Mang alone found the youngest great-grandson, named Liu Ying, whose father is Liu Xian, the Marquis of Guangqi, and is the great-grandson of Liu Huan, the king of Chu, who is only two years old. If you say that you are auspicious, you should be established as an heir. How dare the ministers protest? So all agreed.

After the death of Emperor Ping, Wang Mang remembered that his daughter was young and widowed, and he felt very pity in his heart. wanted to remarry the queen, but was afraid that the queen would not obey, so he came up with a way to send all the concubines of Emperor Ping's harem home to marry, Wang Mang wanted to take advantage of this to move the queen's heart. Who knows that the queen is chaste by nature, since the death of Emperor Ping, that is, she refused to leave the palace due to illness, and Wang Mang sent the concubines to marry, but she was never moved. After Wang Mang usurped the throne, he wanted to remarry him, so he secretly chose a match on his behalf, wanting to match the queen with Sun Yu, the son of the general Sun Jian. Immediately ordered Sun Yu to modify his clothes and crown, and went to see the queen in the name of asking a doctor to ask about his illness. Sun Yu was very proud, thinking what an honor it would be to marry the queen! That is, according to Wang Mang's words, he dressed up in flowers and led the doctor to the queen's palace to ask for a doctor. The palace learned that Sun Yu was sent by Wang Mang to ask for a doctor, and they did not stop it. Unexpectedly, when the queen saw Sun Yu's gorgeous dress, she guessed that Wang Mang wanted to match her, and she was furious. Hate left and right and do not hinder, that is, they will be taken down and beaten. Sun Yu saw the queen beating people, but he was afraid that he would be bored, so he hurriedly reported the matter to Wang Mang. Wang Mang knew that it was difficult for the queen to keep the festival, so he no longer mentioned the matter of letting her remarry.

One day, Xie Huan said: "The martial arts chief Meng Tong Junjing got a piece of white stone, and its shape was round and below, and there was a Dan written on the stone. The text said: 'Sue An Han Gongmang as emperor. The minister did not dare to conceal it, and hereby heard it. Wang Mang immediately ordered the ministers to inform the Queen Mother of the matter. The Queen Mother is at the bottom of the well, where did the Dan book come from? It must be that Wang Mang wants to be the emperor, and deliberately ordered Xie Huan to fake this stone, if I allow him to be the emperor according to my words, won't it provoke people all over the world to talk about it. After pondering for a long time, the Queen Mother said to her ministers: "This is a matter of deceiving the world, and it cannot be carried out." Before the ministers could answer, Wang Shun stepped forward and said, "The matter has come to this point, and there is nothing to be done. According to the minister's humble opinion, Wang Mang has no other ambitions, but if he wants to take the emperor's affairs to regain his power, why should the queen mother listen to it? The Queen Mother had no choice but to comply.

Soon Wang Mang added the number of Zaiheng and was above the princes. According to legend, Yi Yin is Ah Heng, and Zhou Gong is Dazai, combining the titles of these two auxiliary ministers, it is obviously not good to call "Ah Da", so it is called "Zai Heng".

However, no matter how awesome the ministers are, they are still ministers after all, and the great Confucianism led by Liu Xin, a master of scripture, suggested that Wang Mang be rewarded. The Confucians thought about it and felt that Jia Jiuxi was the most in line with Wang Mang's identity requirements.

After adding nine tins, Wang Mang went in and out according to the etiquette of the Son of Heaven, wearing the crown of the Son of Heaven to sacrifice to the heavens and the earth, and sat facing the south when he went to court. Wang Mang changed the name of the year to Ju Se, and the Duke of An Han called himself Yu, and used the emperor's edict to make decisions in the court, and respected his daughter as the queen mother. When the ministers wrote to him, they called Wang Mang a "false emperor", and "false emperor" did not mean a false emperor, but an acting emperor.
