-- The book continues --

The Empress Dowager set up a small banquet in the side hall to greet the queen, and when she went to ask His Majesty's palace people to report to His Majesty's busy political affairs and could not come.

The phrase "worthy of being the daughter of Chang'an Ling......" frequently came out of Wang Zhengjun's mouth, and there was an indescribable weirdness, which attracted Wang Zheng's attention.

"Niangniang has won the award...... "If it is a compliment, it is more like jealousy...... And the object of jealousy, if you guessed correctly, should be her cheap father!

Why is that?

At this time, a very cold gaze looked at Wang Zheng, and Wang Zheng was stunned and looked back at the place where he looked.

Then the two of them were stunned at the same time.

"Wang Mang?" Wang Zheng said secretly in his heart.

"What a beautiful woman!" Wang Mang was shocked.

The small banquet ended in a strange atmosphere.

The summer quickly passed, and the new emperor officially ascended the throne and changed the beginning.

And the strange thing is that the first holy decree after the new emperor ascended the throne was to remove the power of Zhao Mi from Chang'an, the second holy decree was to establish Wang Yan as the queen, Zhao Mi's daughter as Concubine Xi, and the third holy decree was to prepare for the spring draft of the officials above the third rank in the court.

Suddenly the court was shocked, the people of Chang'an had different opinions, no matter which one you look at, when today's actions are considered unfilial piety, injustice and unkindness, the streets and alleys are talking about the selection of the Han Dynasty Son of Heaven, the first emperor is presided over by the queen or the queen mother, and the Ministry of Rites arranges the draft, which is not very high-profile, and the emperor will not intervene in the holy decree.

In this dynasty, His Majesty the ten-year-old boy emperor not only ordered the detailed arrangement of the draft, but also wrote a lot of detailed rules on the quality requirements of show girls, as if others did not know what kind of woman he liked.

After Zhao Jingxi's second brother heard about this in the restaurant, he was so angry that his lungs exploded and scolded angrily: "I'm really blind, why did I believe that white-eyed wolf so much in the first place......

"Second son be cautious!"

In May of the first year of the first year, the fanfare draft finally ended.

When the youngest granddaughter of the prime minister and the only daughter of the hussar general won the favor of the young son of heaven, the queen mother Wang Zhengjun was the lord and canonized as a concubine.

The harem female official is a queen, and there is a royal concubine under it, a royal concubine, a virtuous, virtuous, and a lady each of the imperial concubines, and then there are concubines, nine concubines, Jieyu, beauties and other unlimited concubines, a total of one hundred and twenty-one people (Zhou Li).

And in July, Zhao Min was impeached, Zhao Jingxi (Wang Zheng) was sent to the cold palace, and then the news of the little emperor and the empress Wang Yan came every night, and the court was in chaos.

Time flashed, in January of the fourth year of the first year, the place of the cold palace!

Night!

Wang Zheng clasped the chess pieces in his hand, looked coldly at the uninvited guests in the courtyard, and was able to quietly break into her residence, this person ...... Knotty!

"Heh~" The person who came chuckled and didn't answer, and slowly approached step by step.

Wang Zheng had a loud alarm in his heart, intuitively feeling that this person was dangerous, and he had already touched the self-defense dagger with one hand......

"Jingxi ......"

"Liu Yin?"

"Jingxi!" Jing Xi lifted her cloak and said, "Jing Xi hasn't seen her for a few years, you are fine!" ”

"Huh! Thank you Your Majesty the Emperor, the concubine can't die yet! Wang Zheng looked at Liu Zhen and flashed his dagger at one time.

Boys generally develop later than girls, and often start to grow and change their voices at the age of sixteen or seventeen, and now he is only fourteen years old.

Because someone who had just finished bathing was unconsciously slightly open in his middle clothes, and the waist-length green silk was casually draped, and there was still a bit of a lazy look between his eyebrows and eyes, and he was impatient after being disturbed.

Wang Zheng is now eleven years old, and the little doll with pink makeup has transformed into a bright girl, the creator is really amazing......

"What is the emperor doing so late?"

"Jingxi, Wang Mang is going to do it, I will come to save you from the palace!"

"What?" Wang Zheng pulled a handful of his long hair that had not yet dried, turned his face sideways, and was thinking.

A big quilt was draped on Wang Zheng's body, Liu Jian picked up Wang Zheng and put it in a carriage, and said to Wang Zheng: "Jingxi, you can use some of the money and clothes in it for the time being, and when I destroy Wang Mang and others, I will come to pick you up!" ”

"Liu Zhen, you ......" Before Wang Zheng finished speaking, he was taken away by the galloping carriage.

Liu Jian looked at Jingxi, who had left safely, turned around and returned to the palace, a bloody storm had not yet started and was about to end.

After Liu Yin returned to the palace, he didn't find that a palace maid beside him had quietly left and told Wang Mang about it.

In the first five years of the Yuan Dynasty, Emperor Liu Ping of the Han Dynasty, suddenly collapsed in the Weiyang Palace, at the age of 15, the cause of death is doubtful, everyone thinks that Wang Mang poisoned the Emperor of the Han Ping Emperor Liu Yin, but when the Emperor of the Han Ping Emperor was seriously ill, Wang Mang once put on a look of "I am willing to live for ten years for the peace of the Son of Heaven", therefore, after the death of the Emperor Ping of the Han Dynasty, above the court, or Wang Mang as the head of the hundred officials.

At this point, the three bloodlines of Emperor Yuan of the Han Dynasty have been completely extinguished.

Wang Mang advocated the establishment of Liu Ying, the great-grandson of Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty, as the new emperor, and Liu Ying was two years old at the time.

This move sparked collective discontent among the Han royal family.

After the death of Emperor Ping of the Han Dynasty, the infant succeeded to the throne, Wang Zhengjun thought that it was impossible, but he was powerless to stop it, at this time, Wang Mang was 51 years old, seeing that his old aunt was still alive, it was estimated that he himself did not want to wait, and decided to pry the ministers to the Empress Dowager, hoping to canonize himself as the "regent acting emperor".

Wang Zhengjun had no choice but to push the boat down the river and let Wang Mang be the "regent emperor". It's just that from this moment on, Wang Mang's good image of loyalty and filial piety has been shattered in Wang Zhengjun.

In the second year, Liu Xin, the great-grandson of Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty, who was dissatisfied with Liu Ying as emperor, was the first to attack under the support of Zhai Yi, the Taishou of Dongjun.

When the news reached Chang'an, Wang Zhengjun was very happy, and he said when he met people: "I knew that Wang Mang's kid would not become a big climate, and now that everyone in the Han family clan has risen up, Wang Mang's good days are probably over." ”

Wang Mang found a person named Aizhang to get two pamphlets, which roughly means that Liu Bang, the ancestor of the Han Dynasty, felt that the Han family should be entrusted to Wang Mang, so that the country could be peaceful.

In the first year of the founding of the People's Republic of China, Wang Mang usurped the Han Dynasty and established a new dynasty, so he sent Wang Shun, Marquis of Anyang, to ask the Queen Mother for the jade seal.

Seeing Wang Shun, Wang Zhengjun angrily threw the jade seal on the ground and said: "I am old and dead, like a brother, this clan will be destroyed!" My Han family is old and widowed, and I want to be buried with this seal, but I can't get it! ”

It means that your father and son are able to get rich and noble for generations thanks to the power of the Han family, and they have not repaid them, but also took the opportunity to seize the country when others were orphaned, completely ignoring the way of kindness and righteousness.

Being like this, it's really better than a pig and a dog, how can the Son of Heaven have a brother like you!

And if you think that you have obtained the mandate of heaven and become the new emperor, and you want to change the Zhengshuo system, you should make a new jade seal by yourself and pass it on for eternity, why do you want to get the ominous jade seal of this dead country?

I'm just an old widow of the Han family, and I may die at any time, so if you want to take this jade seal to be buried with you, you won't be able to get it after all!

The jade seal smashed to the ground and shattered a corner of the jade seal, Wang Mang was very happy after getting the jade seal, and set up a banquet for Wang Zhengjun in Weiyang Palace, and celebrated.

After Wang Mang usurped the throne, he still remembered a little blood relationship, and gave Wang Zhengjun a new honorific title "New Room Wenmu Empress Dowager", and at the same time took it upon himself to destroy the temple of Emperor Yuan of the Han Dynasty and build a new palace for his aunt, called the Longevity Palace, praying for the Queen Mother to live a long life. It's just that I don't know how complicated Wang Zhengjun, who was once the empress of Emperor Yuan of the Han Dynasty, lived in this palace.

Wang Mang changed the system of the Han Dynasty, and the Han Dynasty originally wore sable clothes, so Wang Mang changed to wear sable, and changed the Han Zhengshuo Fulari to it. However, Wang Zhengjun ordered his officials to wear sable clothes, and on the first day of the Han Dynasty, he drank and ate alone with the left and right.

After the five dynasties and the four dynasties, the empress dowager Wang Zhengjun, who sat on the throne of the Han family of the four dynasties, finally passed away at the age of eighty-four, and was buried in Weiling with Emperor Liu Zheng of the Han Yuan Dynasty.

After filial piety, the fourth Han Dynasty was the mother of the world, feasting on the country for more than 60 years, the younger brothers, holding the authority of the country, five generals and ten marquis, and died in the new capital.

Wang Zhengjun's life is just one word - "power", high and powerful, and in the end it will be empty.

She did not destroy the Western Han Dynasty, but the Western Han Dynasty died because of her. As Wang Fuzhi said: "Those who died in the Western Han Dynasty will be guilty of the sins of the Yuan Dynasty." ”

………………

Twenty-four-year-old Wang Mang entered the center and began to be an official, at the age of thirty he was named the new marquis, riding the captain, Guanglu doctor, in a high position, but never respected himself, always able to be courteous and virtuous, honest and frugal, often distributed his own money to the doorman and commoners, and even sold the carriage to help the poor, and was deeply loved by the people.

After the 38-year-old 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.

Wang Mang's achievements in "Dingce Anzong Temple" are the same as Huo Guang's, and he should enjoy the same reward as Huo Guang. Kong Guang was the Taishi, Wang Shun was the Taibao, and Zhen Feng was the young master, and Wang Mang, who was on the top of the three dukes, first suggested that the princes and the descendants of the meritorious heroes should first be rewarded, and then the incumbent officials should be rewarded, and the ceremonies and music of the temple should be increased, so that the common people and the widows and widows could be lonely, and the policy of favor should be implemented for the common people, so as to win the favor of the government and the opposition again.

suggested that the Empress Dowager Wang Zhengjun took the lead in living a frugal life, and she contributed millions of dollars and 30 acres of land to relieve the people, and hundreds of officials followed suit. Whenever there is a flood or drought, Wang Mang only eats vegetarian food, not wine and meat.

In the first two years of the Yuan Dynasty, there was a severe drought in the whole country, accompanied by locust plagues, and the people of Qingzhou, who were the most severely affected, went into exile.

Under Wang Mang's leadership, 230 officials and citizens donated land and houses to help the victims. Taxes and taxes have been reduced in the disaster-stricken areas, and the victims have received full bereavement.

The royal Huchi Court in Anding County was revoked and changed to Anmin County to resettle the victims. Even Chang'an City has built 1,000 homes for the victims. The great Situ Sizhi Chen Chongwei promoted Wang Mang, so he praised Wang Mang's merits, saying that he could be compared with the ancient saints.

When Wang Mang was forty-eight years old, the eldest son Wang Yu was forced to commit suicide by Wang Mang because of the Lu Kuan case, implicating hundreds of people.

In order to create a scene of peace and prosperity, Wang Mang first sent eight "custom messengers" to various places to investigate, and after returning to the dynasty, he praised the peace of the world, demonstrating Wang Mang's contribution to preaching and education.

Secondly, through the policy of heavy money lure, the Xiongnu and other foreign people sent envoys to return to the court, and Wang Mang became a virtuous and virtuous sage who ruled the country and the world in the hearts of the people.

Wang Mang was fifty-one years old, in 6 A.D., in the first year of the change of Yuan Ju Se, Dongjun Taishou Zhai raised an army, supported Liu Xin, the Marquis of Yanxiang, as the emperor, and the following year, Wang Mang sent Wang Yi to quell the rebellion, and Wang Mang then had the heart of the emperor.

Since Emperor Wu of the Western Han Dynasty, the ministers and scholars in the court have been quite popular in discussing disasters and Zen concessions.

At the time, people believed that the disaster was a condemnation of the immorality of the human king.

The decline of the Western Han Dynasty remained unchanged, and the social psychology influenced by the concepts of disaster and Zen provided conditions for Wang Mang to replace the Han Dynasty.

Wang Mang forced Wang Zhengjun to hand over the jade seal of the country, and after accepting the son of the infant Zen, he was called the emperor, and entered the Gaozu Temple to worship, and the royal crown was the Son of Heaven, and the country name was changed to "new", Wang Mang was the new ancestor, and Chang'an was changed to Chang'an, called "the first year of the founding of the country", Wang Mang was fifty-four years old.

Fifty-four-year-old Wang Mang ascended to the highest position of power with the broad support of the government and the opposition, and opened a precedent in the history of Hua-Xia to be the emperor through (Fu-Ming) Chan.

Since the end of the Han Dynasty, political corruption, extravagance in the imperial court, local looting and exploitation, coupled with a large number of land annexations by powerful landlords, have displaced the people, lived in hardship, and withered the economy, so people's hearts have fluctuated and the political crisis has become more and more intense.

Since Wang Mang came to power, in order to win the hearts and minds of the people, although he has adopted a series of policies to ease social contradictions, he has never been able to solve the problem fundamentally.
