Chapter 066: The world has changed, and the king is wantonly crowned

-- The book continues --

Liu Xuan successfully won Chang'an with the help of Green Forest!

Wang Mang's last sorrow said: "The decline of the Han Dynasty, the people are poor, I want to save the young, so I inherited the Han Dynasty and built a new dynasty, but Li Shu misunderstood and instigated by Liu, so that the world was destroyed again, the ancestors of Qin Dynasty, the heroes were destroyed, Emperor Wu was changed, and the world was wasted. The people of the world have written a book, wholeheartedly supported it, and shouldered this public instrument in the world, how can it be said that there has been? ”

Wang Mang fled all the way, and Liu Xuan began to profess the king after the green forest eliminated the women of the plains.

Liu Xuan named Wang Kuang as the "Duke of Dingguo", Wang Feng as the "Duke of Chengguo", Zhu Kun as the Great Sima, Chen Mu as the Great Sikong, Zhang Wei as the General of Weiwei, and the rest of the generals have their own rewards!

Several other core green forest leaders were crowned kings, and the Xuanhan Dynasty was established by the green forest, but these bandits did not seek the welfare of the people, but harvested the people on a large scale.

In history, the Rebellion of the Seven Kings was a concentrated outbreak of contradictions between the royal family and the vassal kings, and Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty sent Zhou Yafu to quell the Rebellion of the Seven Kingdoms within three months, and quickly cut through the chaos to quell the chaos, so that the Xiongnu missed the opportunity to take advantage of the chaos to go south, so that the policy of Wenjingzhizhi could cover the whole country, and also established the foundation for Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty's Tui'en Decree and counterattack against the Xiongnu.

After Fang Wang compares the leader of the green forest to the king, he will learn from the king of Jiaodong, the king of Chu, the king of Zhao, the king of Jinan, the king of Huainan, the king of Wu, the king of Jiaoxi, the king of Zichuan, and the king of Qi.

Liu Xuan was angrily reprimanded by Fang Wang, and Fang Wang took the back then, Emperor Fugao, when the end of Qin was chaotic, the group competed, covered with frost and dew, the wind and rain, the siege of the city, went to the Yashi in person, and the body was wounded, and then pacified the death, established the Chen Ji, and built the fortress of eternity. Feudal princes, consolidate the world! Unfortunately, the traitor uses things, jumps left and right, wants to uphold the right to manipulate, has the ambition to broadcast, and conceals the heart, and his machine is really deep. This calamity forces the son to bow, he really wants to survive, and he has no choice but to share the heavens with the evil and evil, and he will pursue the heavenly bargaining, so as to calm the society, the gods of heaven and earth, and take care of the hearts of the sons.

To show that Lvlin will also oppose Liu Xuan's Xuanhan like the kings back then, Liu Xuan asked Fang Wang to prepare, and at the same time told Lvlin and the others after Fang Wang left, and suddenly everyone in Lvlin began to chase and kill Fang Wang.

Fang Wang's father died in battle to protect Fang Wang, and at the same time, most of the people were dissatisfied with the rule of Liu Xuan, the emperor of the Xuanhan Dynasty.

After Fang Wang and Gong Lin were repelled by the green forest of Emperor Liu Xuan of the Xuanhan Dynasty, they took refuge in Longxi, and Fang Wang began to give advice for Longxi.

The world has temporarily entered "peace"

Under this kind of "peace", the people of Xuanhan and Han continued to revolt, and Adou, who couldn't help the Green Forest Army, didn't think about how to work together to resist the enemy soldiers, and even only cared about how to win the greatest financial benefits in front of him.

Why did the new dynasty die so quickly, it can be said that everything was good at the beginning of the new dynasty's changes, but when it came to the bottom, it completely changed its taste, and Wang Mang had whims from time to time.

Wang Mang has Beihai County, Nanhai County, and Donghai County in China, but only lacks Xihai, in order to make up for the "four seas", he sent troops to occupy the land around Qinghai Lake to set up Xihai County.

The rulers of the Xiongnu, Goguryeo, Western Regions and Southwest Yi and other vassal states that were originally subject to the Han Dynasty were demoted from the original "king" to "marquis".

It also recovered and damaged the "Xiongnu Shan Yu Xi", and awarded the "New Xiongnu Shan Yu Xi"; even changed the Xiongnu Shan Yu to "surrender slaves to obey", and Goguryeo changed its name to "Xia Guli"; As a result, the tribes refused to submit to the new dynasty.

Wang Mang took the initiative to provoke a senseless dispute and rashly decided to use force, which not only led to border conflicts, but also caused hundreds of thousands of troops to be trapped in the border for a long time, unable to get out, and spent a lot of manpower and material resources, causing endless border wars.

Liu Kuai, the Marquis of Xuxiang, led thousands of troops to raise troops. Zhendingren Liu Du and others conspired to raise troops to rebel, and they were executed. These anti-reckless activities were very weak at first, and they were suppressed one after another, but they showed that the contradictions between the Liu clan and some landlords and bureaucrats and Wang Mang had begun to intensify. At the same time, the revolts of the lower classes of ordinary people also rose one after another.

Wang Mang accepted the suggestion of his cousin Wang Shun, gathered all the world's virtuous people to come to Chang'an, and began to compile important classics such as "Chinese Dictionary", "Medical Dictionary", "Wedding and Funeral Dictionary", "Literary Dictionary".

In the second year, small countries such as the Xiongnu, Goguryeo, Laowo, and Puya successively submitted to the new dynasty.

After the establishment of the new dynasty, the anti-mangist activities still did not stop, and Wang Mang's reform did not solve the problem of land annexation and displacement since the end of the Western Han Dynasty.

On the contrary, because he mobilized the people to fight against the Xiongnu and built a large number of buildings, he also greatly increased the burden of taxes and forced labor on the common people, and even caused thousands of people to die.

Man-made disasters and natural disasters have made the land barren, prices are expensive, natural disasters and man-made disasters have forced the people to live in other places, and the tragic history of cannibalism is endless.

How can such a miserable life make the people not take risks and rise up!

The people in the vicinity of Wuyuan (now Bao-Tou-City) and Daijun (now He-Bei-Wei-County) could not bear the harassment of the Xiongnu soldiers in the northern expedition, and thousands of people rebelled, and the robber general Kong Ren pacified the thieves after more than a year of encirclement and suppression.

Tianfeng four years, the world is more and more worried, thieves rise, people everywhere have risen up and resisted, Lu Mu avenged the son who was unjustly killed by the county slaughter, led the crowd to break through the county, executed the county slaughter, at the same time Lu Mu also became the first peasant - people - uprising - female - leader - sleeve in Hua - Xia, but unfortunately soon was killed by the Mang army, Tianfeng five years of the new dynasty around the rebel army broke out, when Wang Mang implemented the new policy, there were many disasters such as drought, locusts, plagues, and the diversion of the Yellow River, because Wang Mang's reform not only failed to alleviate social contradictions, but caused violent turmoil in the world, The state treasury was also exhausted and unable to allocate funds for disaster relief, which made it difficult for the people to survive, and peasants rose up in various places, among which two major military forces, the Red Mei Army and the Green Forest Army, were formed.

In the fourth year of the emperor, Wang Mang held a crying ceremony in the southern suburbs.

In the same year, after Liu Fa, the son of Emperor Liu Qi of the Han Dynasty, Liu Xuan was proclaimed emperor by Zhang Ang of the Green Forest Army and others on the shore of the river (now Nan-Yang-Bai-He), and the year name was changed, becoming the famous emperor in history.

The rebel army (Green Forest Army) invaded Chang'an, and Wang Mang fled to Jiantai under the escort of Wang Yi and others, with more than 1,000 ministers, doctors, eunuchs, and entourage. Wang Yi, who defended the city, fought day and night, and his subordinates were killed and wounded, and they also retreated to the gradual platform. At this time, his son, Wang Mu, was trying to take off his official uniform and flee for his life.

Wang Yi drank him, and the father and son guarded Wang Mang together, and finally more than 1,000 people who followed Wang Mang were all killed or killed.

Wang Mang was killed by the rebel soldier Du Wu, and the lieutenant Gongbin asked Du Wu where Wang Mang's body was, and Du Wu told him that he was "in the northwest of the room", and the public guest beheaded Wang Mang, hanging in Wan City, and dozens of soldiers rushed to kill Wang Mang and split Wang Mang's body.

The people heard that Wang Mang's head was in Wan City, and they 'struck it together, or cut off his tongue'

The new dynasty fell, and the public guests received Wang Mang's seal ribbon and sent Wang Mang's head to Wancheng. The first emperor was sitting in the Yellow Hall at that time, took Wang Mang's head and looked at it, and said happily: "If Wang Mang does not steal the throne, his merit should be the same as Huo Guang." ”

Lady Han, the favorite concubine of the First Emperor, smiled and said, "If he is not like this, how can His Majesty get his head?" ”

"Hahaha, that's right!" It's even more like the first emperor.

In Wang Mang's reform, Wang Mang's courage and skill were far above Wang Anshi's three major policies of land nationalization, equal production, and abolition of slavery...... Pity such a diligent and conscientious person, who is naturally 'unable to do nothing', and wants to 'equalize all the people, or merge with them', but in the end he died on the beheading platform,...... There was no one to say a fair word for him.

In history, the new dynasty perished, Wang Mang's head, was collected by the royal family of later dynasties, until the time of Emperor Hui of Jin, the Luoyang arsenal was burned by fire, and then it was burned.

Liu Xuan became the lord of Chang'an and became the lord of the world.

Later, Li Song and Zhao Meng, a native of Jianyang, suggested to Emperor Gengshi that all heroes should be crowned kings.

Zhu Kun argued, believing that Liu Bang, the ancestor of the Han Dynasty, had an appointment, and it was not the Liu clan that could not be crowned king.

The first emperor first sealed the clan, the Taichang general Liu Zhi was the king of Dingtao, Liu Ci was the king of Wan, Liu Qing was the king of Yan, Liu She was the king of the Yuan family, the general Liu Jia was the king of Hanzhong, and Liu Xin was the king of Ruyin; Then Wang Kuang was appointed as the king of Biyang, Wang Feng was the king of Yicheng, Zhu Kun was the king of Jiaodong, Zhang Wei, the general of Weiwei, was the king of Huaiyang, Wang Chang, the general of Tingwei, was the king of Deng, Liao Zhan, the general of Jinwu, was the king of Sui, Shentu Jian was the king of Ping, Hu Yin of Shangshu was the king of Sui, Li Tong, the general of Zhutian, Li Tong was the king of Xiping, Li Yi of Wuwei Zhonglang was the king of Wuyin, the general of Shuiheng Cheng Dan was the king of Xiangyi, the great Sikong Chen Mu was the king of Yinping, and the hussar general Song Tong was the king of Yingyin, and Yin Zun was the king of Yun.

Only Zhu Kun excused himself and said: "The minister is not the Liu clan, and he does not dare to violate the royal system." ”

On the first day of the first month of February, the mandala was erected in Shuishui, the army was displayed, and a conference was held.

Liu Xuan is the emperor, standing in the south, accepting the worship of the ministers, but Liu Xuan has always been cowardly, seeing this scene, he sweated with shame, raised his hands and couldn't even speak.

So the amnesty of the world, all the generals, with the patriarch Liu Liang as the three elders of the country, Wang Kuang as the prince of the country, Wang Feng as the prince of the country, Zhu Kun as the great Sima, Liu Jiu as the great Situ, Chen Mu as the great Sikong, the rest are worshiped as Jiuqing or generals, in order to stabilize the political situation, the first regime announced the amnesty, not Wang Mangzi, he is rid of his crimes. At the same time, he sent envoys to tell the officials of various states and counties, and the first to restore the title, and sent Liu Xiu to break the general to do the great Sima Shi, cross Hebei with the festival, and comfort the Zhou County, except for Wang Mang's harsh government, and restore the official name of the Han Dynasty.

All kinds of local armed forces and Wang Mang's local power, all of them did not bend Gordon's style, fighting for his position, for a time, the counties were all surrendered, and the world was returned to the Han (this refers to "Xuanhan").

Liu Xuan was carried away by the victory on the surface, and accepted Zhao Meng's daughter as his wife, and was extremely pampered, and the political commissar of the court was the right Sima Zhao Meng, and he feasted with the woman in the harem day and night.

The ministers wanted to talk about things, but most of them were too drunk to be seen. As a last resort, he ordered the attendants to sit in the tent and pretend to be Liu Xuan to meet the ministers.

Liu Xuan feasted and drank all day long, ignoring political affairs, and the government was all arbitrary by Zhao Meng, who was powerful and blessed.

When someone reported to Liu Xuan that Zhao Meng and others were doing nonsense, Liu Xuan not only didn't listen, but instead drew his sword and hit him, so scared that everyone didn't dare to speak out. Under Liu Xuan's appeasement, Zhao Meng became more and more ferocious, and even pulled out the servant who had a grudge against him and beheaded him, and even did not listen to the first emperor's intercession.

Soon after Zhao Meng's dictatorship, there was a song in Chang'an City that sarcastically said: "Raise under the stove, Zhonglang General." Rotten sheep stomach, ride the captain. Rotten sheep's head, Guan Neihou. ”

The emperor indulged in wine, and the powerful ministers controlled the government and cracked down on dissidents. Such a regime has absolutely no centralized power to speak of, let alone put forward any measures and policies to improve the situation of the peasants and end the war.

Therefore, soon after the entry of the first regime, there was a situation of centrifugation in the customs and resentment in all directions.

When Liu Xuan moved the capital to Luoyang, he sent an envoy to recruit the Red Mei Army. Fan Chongqin led more than 20 leaders of the Red Mei Army to join the envoys. Liu Xuan only made Fan Chong and the more than 20 generals led by him a liehou with no actual state, and did not make any arrangements for the 300,000 Red Mei troops at all.

Fan Chong and others were disappointed, and soon, Fan Chong and others returned to Puyang, that is, they led the army to the southwest into Yingchuan, and the soldiers were divided into two routes, one led by Fan Chong and Feng'an, and captured Changshe, although the Red Mei Army won again and again, but the soldiers were tired and tired of war, weeping day and night, and always wanted to turn back to their hometown in the East. Fan Chong and others were not only dissatisfied with Liu Xuan's arrangement of the Red Mei Army, but also feared that after returning to the east, the team would disintegrate, so they decided to attack Chang'an in the west.

In June, the Red Mei Army advanced to Zheng County (Hua County, Shaanxi). Fan Chong and others supported a Western Han clan in the army, fifteen-year-old cattle herding boy Liu Penzi as the emperor, the year name is Jianshi, and the history is called Jianshi Emperor. Xu Xuan, who had been a county official, was recommended as the prime minister, Xiao An was the left Sima, Xie Lu was the right Sima, Fan Chong was the imperial historian because he didn't know the number of books, and Yang Yin and below were all Lieqing. History called this regime, the founding regime or the red-eyed Han.

The successive military defeats exacerbated the alienation of the generals within the regime. Shen Tujian, Zhang Wei, Liao Zhan and others privately discussed, planning to abandon Chang'an and return to Nanyang, even if they were defeated, they could enter the lake to carry out activities. When this suggestion was resolutely opposed by Liu Xuan, they conspired with Hu Yin, Kui Huan and others to kidnap Liu Xuan on Liqiu Ri, preparing to force him to carry out their plan.

Zhang Ang, the king of Huaiyang, saw that the first emperor Liu Xuan was in decline, and conspired with Kui Huan to plunder Chang'an and return to Nanyang. Defeated and left, led the Red Army to capture Chang'an, and persuaded Xie Lu to kill the first emperor Liu Xuan.

Zhang Wei, Liao Zhan, Hu Yin, Shen Tujian, and others conspired with the imperial historian Kui Huan to prepare to abduct Liu Xuan, the first emperor, by force during the sacrifice of the first emperor on the day of the beginning of autumn, in order to complete the plan proposed earlier.

Liu Nengqing, the servant, learned of their conspiracy and reported it to the first emperor Liu Xuan.

The first emperor Liu Xuan pretended to be sick and did not leave the palace, summoned Zhang Wei and others, Zhang Wei and others came in, and the first emperor Liu Xuan was ready to kill them all, but only Kui was not in charge.

The first emperor Liu Xuan ordered Zhang Wei and the other four to wait in the house outside.

Zhang Wei, Liao Zhan, and Hu Yin suspected that something had changed, and hurriedly rushed out, only Shen Tu Jian, and the first emperor Liu Xuan killed him.

Zhang Wei, Liao Zhan, and Hu Yin then led the army to plunder the two cities of the east and west, and when it was dark, they burned the door and entered, and fought in the palace, and the first emperor Liu Xuan was defeated.

Early the next morning, he led his wife to ride more than 100 cars, and ran east to Xinfeng Zhao Meng's place, he suspected that Wang Kuang, Chen Mu, Cheng Dan and others were complicit with Zhang Wei, so he summoned the three of them, and killed Chen Mu and Cheng Dan who entered the meeting first. After Wang Kuang learned of this, he led his troops into Chang'an, united with Zhang Wei, and launched a melee battle with Liu Xuan, Zhao Meng and Li Song's army in Chang'an City for more than a month.
