The real Wang Mang, the unique elected emperor in the history of China.

In BC 1 year, Eddie died suddenly at the age of 25. His grandmother, Queen Fu, and his mother, Queen Ding, both died. Wang became the supreme authority again, and she immediately restored Wang Mangfu's position.

The first thing follwed did when he was reinstated was to recall Dong Xian and choose the nine-year-old son of Wang Zhongshan as Emperor Han Ping. Wang Mang ordered relatives of Emperor Ping not to enter Beijing to prevent new consorts. Then, he drove Fu and Ding's consorts out of the capital. Wang Mang's return to power was cheered by the whole society. His subjects thought that the revival of the Han Dynasty could be expected. This year, Wang Mang was made public, and he was actually the prime minister.

In AD 2, there was a drought and locust plague. Wang Mang took the lead in donating one million dollars and 30 hectares of land to help the poor. Two hundred and thirty nobles followed suit and donated a lot of food and land to the disadvantaged groups. People pay as much as they want to catch locusts. Poor people in disaster-free areas whose property is less than 20,000 yuan, and poor people in disaster areas whose property is less than 6,543,800 yuan+0,000 yuan, are exempt from individual tax. Where the disease occurs, make room for a big house to treat the patients. If more than 6 people die in a family, the funeral expenses are 5000, 4 people are 3000, and 2 people are 2000.

Wang Mang abolished the Royal Hu Chi Garden and established Anmin County instead, and moved the poor to live there. Food and drinks along the way, farm equipment and cow seeds needed after arrival. Provided or borrowed by the government.

Wang Mang ordered to invest in the construction of 200 low-rent housing communities in Chang 'an for the poor. Power began to tilt towards people's livelihood.

Wang Mang worked hard to solve the education problem and expand enrollment in imperial academy. The number of students in Imperial College exceeds 10,000. He also ordered the construction of schools all over the country, so that more children can study and gain more knowledge.

Wang Mang built 10,000 houses and set up many research institutes for scholars in Beijing. Anyone who has expertise in classical literature is called to Beijing to do research, and thousands of people come around to discuss Confucianism every day.

Wang Mang also attaches great importance to ideological construction. He redefined the automobile service system according to the spirit of the biography of Han Wang Mang, and determined China people's clothing, housing, appliances and wedding and funeral styles in different levels. Then he ordered that the elderly and children should not be punished and women should not be arrested unless it was a felony.

For a while, the social atmosphere improved greatly. In case of disaster, Wang Mang automatically became a vegetarian and pardoned the prisoners.

These improvement or reform measures probably belong to what Hu Shi called "socialism".

When Pingdi was twelve, she proposed. Thousands of soldiers and civilians flocked to the government gate and refused to leave, demanding that Pingdi must marry Wang Mang's daughter as his wife and take Wang Mang's daughter as his mother. Other women have completely lost their competitiveness. Of course, Wang Mang's daughter was elected as the queen, and Wang Mang returned the 25,600 hectares of land given to Wang Mang by Pingdi as a wedding daughter. Wang Mang accepted 63 million yuan as a gift to hire a queen, of which 43 million yuan was given to the declining Liu clan, and most of the rest was used to honor the king.

Ministers are deeply touched. First of all, give Wang Mang land, namely Xinye, Zhaoling, Xinyou and Huangyouju. Then they proposed to name Wang Mang the Butcher Scale, and then asked to name Wang Mang Jiuxi.

Sealing nine sounds means that the position is not far from the emperor.

Wang Mang couldn't get the news of Xinyetian, and the court received a letter from 487572 people asking Wang Mang to accept the fief. According to statistics, the national population was about 50 million at that time. If the literacy rate in the Ming Dynasty does not exceed 5% of the population, the literacy rate in the Han Dynasty will be about 2 million at most. Over 480,000 intellectuals can write letters.

In 5 AD, the Han Dynasty sealed Wang Mang with nine seals. A movement to elect Wang Mang to replace Emperor Liu Dang began to rise. Why can't Liu's incompetent descendants always sit on the throne, but such a saint can't be emperor? At that time, most subjects agreed that only Wang Mang could make the dying country strong again.

The climate is also helping Wang Mang. In the decades before Wang Mang came to power, frost in summer, thunder in winter, earthquakes, meteorites, eclipses and disasters occurred frequently. God is playing a trick on you. You are as busy as a bee.

In ancient times, whenever something "weird" happened, it was inevitable that someone would embellish it, and word of mouth made the atmosphere very tense. However, after Wang Mang came to power, the disaster was greatly alleviated and people breathed a sigh of relief. At the same time, "good luck" and "miracle" appeared one after another.

As early as 1 year, South Vietnamese people paid tribute to a pheasant and two pheasants. Confucian scholars examined Zhou Li's records. During the Zhou Dynasty, Shang Yang paid tribute to Zhou Chengwang. At this time, the reappearance of the silver pheasant is obviously "the glory of Zhou Cheng's silver pheasant".

In 5AD, 65438+February, Emperor Han Ping died at the age of 14. In the same month, a white stone with a red inscription was found in a well near Chang 'an: "Tell Han An Palace Mang to be Emperor". Wang immediately called Wang Mang the Regent, which courtiers called "holding the emperor to make the princes", and some people called it "fake emperor". In March of six years, Wang announced that Liu Ying, the great grandson of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, was the Crown Prince at the age of two.

After Wang Mang became the photographer of the emperor, a grass-roots official, the head of the county magistrate Xing Ge in Linzi, reported to the court that he dreamed of "the God in the sky". "God" told the director in his dream that "the emperor is real". In order to show its efficacy, the "God of Heaven" also said that when he woke up in the morning, he would see a new well in the pavilion. Tingchang got up in the morning and ran into the pavilion. A new deep well appeared on the original flat land.

At the same time, all over the country, an endless stream of strange stone bronze symbols carrying the message of "fate" were sent to the capital. The content of these messages is that Wang Mang wants to be emperor.

Faced with many "miracles", Wang Mang refused. The situation has evolved to a very alarming level: the more he refuses, the more anxious his subjects will be; The more selfless he is, the more enthusiastic his subjects are. The momentum of electing him as emperor in the whole country has gathered into a turbulent wave, and "auspiciousness" and "miracles" appear in large numbers every day. Subjects are also discussed and urged every day, and Wang Mang should not be held back. There is even such a record in history: when Wang Mang went to Weiyang Palace to see the strange stones sent from all over the country, suddenly there was a strong wind and thick smoke. After the fog dispersed, a silk painting appeared in front of the stone: "Heaven tells the emperor and gives him a seal. Accept your fate and use God's life. "

In November of the eighth year, a man named Shen Di and Shen Di were presented to the court in two copper boxes. The content of "regaining sight" is that Wang Mang wants to be emperor.

At this time, Wang Mang finally took the position of king under Wang Mang's dissuasion, and became the real emperor this month, changing the year number to "new". Wang Mang abolished Liu Yuxi's title, made him Ding An Gong, and gave him hundreds of miles of land in Fiona Fang, where he built the Han Ancestral Hall. 2 14' s history of the Western Han Dynasty ends here.
