Chapter 251: Wang Mang resigns

Wang Mang got his aunt's will and went back to work.

He saw it very clearly, now, the Fu family and the Ding family are in power, and his big Sima will not be long.

Therefore, I simply gained a good reputation for uprightness during this time. Before, it was the people of their royal family who controlled the government, and it didn't matter whether they were attached or not, but now it is the rise of the foreign family, which naturally gives him the opportunity to continue to improve his fame.

To be honest, Wang Mang is also worried about his future, but with his current situation, he has not yet reached the stage of turning his hands into clouds and turning his hands into rain, because his time as the Great Sima is too short, if he is given three years and five years, no matter how many emperors he changes, he will not be able to replace him as the Great Sima.

Wang Mang is confident that he has this means and this courage, he does not lack fame, popularity, what he lacks is the sinking of time.

He saw it well, Empress Dowager Fu was very happy for Wang Mang's voluntary resignation for a while, but he didn't expect him to come back, but it didn't matter if he came back or not, Da Sima's position would be snatched from him sooner or later.

On the one hand, Wang Mang paid attention to the movements of the emperor and the Fu family, and on the other hand, he constantly recommended talents, such as Liu Xin, the son of Liu Xiang, under his recommendation, the official to the Guanglu doctor, and presided over the compilation and revision of various scriptures.

There is a storm quietly brewing in the seemingly calm court.

In July, Liu Xin gave a banquet in Weiyang Palace. The banquet invited the Empress Dowager, Empress Dowager Gong, Empress Gong, Empress Dowager Zhao (Zhao Feiyan) and other bigwigs in the palace.

When the waiters were arranging their seats, they raised the specifications of the Empress Dowager Fu to the level of the Empress Dowager, and it was next to the Empress Dowager.

When Wang Mang inspected in advance, he discovered this situation and was furious: "Empress Dowager Dingtao, concubine, how can you sit side by side with the Supreme." Wang Mang ordered the attendants to quickly remove the seat of the Empress Dowager Fu and move to another position.

Before the banquet started, the matter reached the ears of the Empress Dowager Fu.

She was almost mad, and she couldn't wait to arrest Wang Mang immediately and break his body into thousands of pieces.

This banquet, Empress Dowager Fu therefore refused to participate. And the people who participated, because of this incident, all had their own hearts and minds, and they ate very badly.

Wang Mang angered the Empress Dowager Fu, many people said that Wang Mang was going to be unlucky, but more people said that Wang Mang really deserved to be a loyal minister, upright, and had the demeanor of an ancient minister.

Empress Dowager Fu found Liu Xin the next day, hoping that he would depose Wang Mang.

Wang Mang had already heard the rumors, so he simply took the initiative and reported his resignation.

"Good, good." Knowing Wang Mang's resignation, Empress Dowager Fu nodded again and again, asking Liu Xin to agree immediately.

Liu Xin ordered to give Wang Mang a large number of rewards, and at the same time issued an edict to dismiss Wang Mang's great Sima, in order to appease the people's hearts, after the removal of Wang Mang, he was given special advances, and was treated like a third prince in the matter.

was dismissed from the post of Da Sima, and Wang Mang's heart was much more relaxed.

"Hehe, it's still inconclusive." Wang Mang said in his heart.

The position of the Great Sima was empty, and the highest voice in the court was Fu Xi.

Although Fu Xi is the younger brother of the Empress Dowager Fu, Fu Xi has never been selfish with family affection, he has repeatedly offended the Empress Dowager Fu and done his best for the country. Although he is not as famous as Wang Mang, he is also more prestigious in the court.

Empress Dowager Fu didn't like this younger brother very much, so she didn't allow this younger brother to be the big Sima.

In the end, the position of Da Sima fell to Shi Dan's head.

Shi Dan is gentle and honest, occasionally puts forward a few opinions, and most of the rest of the time is silent, plus because of the emperor, he is naturally a good candidate.

After Wang Mang left office, one of the Wang family members was impeached.

This time it was Wang Mang's uncle, the former great Sima Wang Gen.

The person who played the performance was the captain Xie Guang, and Wang Mang's dismissal made him see an opportunity.

Liu Xin was also very happy to receive Xie Guang's recital.

He had heard about Wang's dictatorship for many years, and now that someone came to help him cut off Wang, it was great.

This piece of music went up, Wang Gen was sent to the country, and Wang Shang's son Wang Guo was exempted from being a concubine.

The wind direction of Chang'an City changed suddenly, and the people of the Wang family were either degraded or dismissed one by one.

Wang Mang saw that the situation was not good, so he returned to the fiefdom of Xindu and closed his door.

Unexpectedly, this closed door was seven years, and when he came out of the mountain again, he had a new round of new world.
