Wang Mang (former 4523) was born in Yuancheng, Wei County (now Daming, Hebei Province), and later moved to Dongping, Jinan (now Zhangqiu, Shandong Province). Wang Mang lost his father when he was a child. After his aunt Wang became a queen, his uncles and grandfathers were sealed, but Wang Mang's father died early and was not raised. Unfortunately, the poor family made Wang Mang humble and courteous since childhood, making friends with celebrities and Confucian scholars, and was highly respected. Later, on the recommendation of Uncle Wang Feng, Wang Mang became Huang Menlang, and was soon promoted to shoot a captain, in charge of the crossbow soldiers. In the first year (the first 8 years), Wang Mang was named Fu. Since then, Wang Mang's political status has been rising, from Fu to Zaiheng, and finally became "the emperor, always focusing on state affairs." After living for three years (8), the ambitious Wang Mang stood on his own feet on behalf of the Han Dynasty and established a short-lived new dynasty between them.
In the middle and late period of Emperor Wu's rule, the Han Dynasty began to decline. By the time of Emperor Hanping, the reasons such as land annexation were particularly serious, and the people lived in poverty and had no fixed place to live. However, Wang Mang gained a lot of fame because he advocated frugality and was diligent and eager to learn in the Han Dynasty. At that time, many people in the Han Dynasty hoped that Wang Mang could save the status quo of the Han Dynasty and return it to the heyday of the early days of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. (Because Wang Mang assisted Emperor Han Ping in governing the country at that time) Once Wang Mang usurped the throne, although he would face opposition from various governors, the people still supported him.
This made Wang Mang confident in usurping the throne. "The power of the people is the most powerful. There were so many people in China at that time!
Wang Mang in the period of Emperor Ping of Han Dynasty was a fu to assist the emperor to be in power. In the late reign of Emperor Han Ping, because Wang Mang poisoned the wine he drank, Emperor Han Ping was bedridden and died soon. During this time, follwed has been in control of the power of the court. After the death of Emperor Han Ping, Wang Mang made Liu Ying, who was only two years old, emperor. In fact, this has shown Wang Mang's ambition, and the establishment of a prince is his guarantee to the princes: I, Wang Mang, have absolutely no intention of usurping the throne! With the increasing influence of Wang Mang in the Han Dynasty, some governors were afraid that Wang Mang would also engage in dictatorship and usurpation. )
During the three years of the reign of the little emperor, Wang Mang held the power of the imperial court, and at the same time he was slowly expanding his strength. When he thinks the time is ripe, he will abolish the little emperor. At this time, of course, Party C will join forces to resist, but the strength of the court at this time is enough to pacify them!
That's the truth!
In order to control the real power of the imperial court, Wang Mang made Liu Ying emperor. But Liu Ying is only two years old and can't manage state affairs, so all the major events in the DPRK are decided by Wang Mang. At this time, Wang Mang was afraid that his behavior would be suspected by other C's, and maybe one day he would let them seize the handle and threaten himself. Moreover, isn't he now equivalent to a "fake emperor behind the scenes"? What's the point of being such an emperor? It is better to be a truly recognized emperor!
Finally, Wang Mang decided to change the status quo of the Han Dynasty by usurping the throne. So he abolished Liu Ying and became emperor on his own.
From the middle and late period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, the Western Han Dynasty gradually declined. If a two-year-old emperor ruled the country, the Western Han Dynasty would surely perish soon. Although I am in power behind the scenes, I will be greeted by the suspicion and resistance of the governors. It is better to use the power in your hands to usurp the throne now, establish a new dynasty, and let the people get rid of the poverty in the Western Han Dynasty and live a carefree life again.
So, with this ideal, Wang Mang embarked on the road of usurping the throne.
Since Wang Mang assisted Emperor Han Ping to be in power, many governors have questioned you: You have to take care of everything, don't you want to be in power behind the scenes? So follwed was very careful from now on, for fear of being caught by them. When Wang Mang made Liu Ying emperor, all his ministers doubted him: Don't you just want to be an easy-to-control emperor, and it will be easy to usurp the throne then? Wang Mang thought: If these princes spread them, their reputation will go bad. It is better to start first, usurp the throne quickly, and then establish the title of the country. This will not only win the support of the people (the people in the west have been miserable by the status quo, and they want others to establish a new dynasty), but also isolate those princes. (Because they came from the Western Han Dynasty, not the newly established dynasty of Wang Mang)
Finally, Wang Mang succeeded in usurping the throne. The "new dynasty" was established for the new ancestors.
When Wang Mang carried out the New Deal, there were many disasters. Wang Mang's restructuring failed to ease social contradictions, but caused chaos in the world. In the fourth year of Emperor Huang (AD 23), Wang Mang held a crying ceremony in the southern suburbs. In the same year, the outlaw hero invaded Chang 'an, and Wang Yi and other guards led Wang Mang to gradually flee to Taiwan Province. There are more than 1000 doctors, eunuchs and attendants. Wang Yi, who was guarding the city, fought day and night, causing slight casualties among his men and retreating to Taiwan Province. At this time, his son, servant Wang Mu, was trying to take off his official clothes and run for his life. Wang Yi stopped him, and the father and son locked follwed together. In the end, more than a thousand people who followed Wang Mang were all killed or killed. Wang Mang was killed by businessman Du Wu in the chaos. A captain's guest asked Du Wu where Wang Mang's body was, and Du Wu told him that it was in the middle of the room. The guest beheaded follwed and hung it in Wancheng. Dozens of soldiers rushed to kill Wang Mang and split Wang Mang's body. When people heard that Wang Mang's head was in Wancheng, they' attacked it together or cut its tongue'.
After the demise of the new dynasty, Wang Mang's head and profile were collected by the royal family of later generations. Until the reign of Emperor Jinhui in 295 AD, Luoyang armory was destroyed by fire.
Wang Mang is a controversial figure in history. Ancient historians regarded him as a "giant traitor" with the concept of "orthodoxy", but after the end of modern monarchy, Wang Mang was praised by many historians as "the first social reformer in the history of China". He is regarded as a visionary and selfless social reformer. Hu Shi thought he was a socialist emperor 1900 years ago.
