Established a millennium family since King Wu defeated Zhou

Chapter 546 New Expansion Pack, Wang Mang
A big dream in the sky, several springs and autumns in the world.

Since the death of Emperor Xiaoshao Liu Yun, the Great Han Dynasty has been like a quiet pool of water, calm and calm without any waves. No one wants to know what kind of turbulent waves lie under the quiet water.

In this way, spring went and autumn came, the cold winter was harsh, and the scorching heat became more and more unbearable. Year after year, the calm court moved forward, but a calm atmosphere was brewing in the world.

Until the condensed general trend that Ji Zhao has been paying attention to is completely formed, the big event brewing in the world itself begins.

On that day, there was a white rainbow piercing the sun, there was a raging earth fire, and a meteor shower fell on the county of Dahan. Countless light spots fell with the meteor shower, and purple spots faintly shone among the light spots.

Ji Lingjun instantly felt a little familiarity from it, and the Phoenix Destiny in her body had a trace of the same smell.

"Old Ancestor, is this the unprecedented big change you said?
Is it because of this big change that the family wants to come down from the high platform? "

There are so many destiny scattered in the world, almost everywhere, Ji Zhao raised his eyebrows, is this the new way of playing destiny in the world?
[How can there be immortality in the world?How can there be an immortal dynasty in the world?
The moment you set foot on the top of the mountain, you will go forward to the abyss.

The glorious seals of the Han Dynasty are engraved on the green history, and the deeds of the sage kings are reflected on the long river of history, but everything will eventually come to an end.

When it leaves only a rotten body, and the inspiring spirit of the past has completely rotted away, isn't a splendid death better than a lingering life?
A sage with a mission, he will break open this dark world with light and virtue.

Large-scale expansion: the end of the Han Empire begins.

The world is further improved, please let your family enjoy exploring. 】

The voice that the system has not heard for a long time sounded at the right time. After the continuous failure of reversing the destiny and the failure of these years, it is probably really powerless. A new piece of information has begun.

The end of the Han Empire!

This is actually within Ji Zhao's expectation, Xiu'er and Wang Mang, although he doesn't know whether these two people will appear, after all, the world is already very different.

But if they appear, these two people must have different characteristics. Needless to say, Xiu'er's popularity and reputation, Wang Mang is actually not weak, especially in modern times, Wang Mang's evaluation is not low.

Now that the fate no longer belongs to one person, Liu Xiu may not be able to win the world!

Even judging from the previous changes in Bang Zhou and the Qin and Han Dynasties, these famous emperors in history may not necessarily be able to ascend normally.

…………

"Study and learn from time to time, isn't it also said?"

"..."

"Xiang died for the sake of death..."

The sound of reading aloud resounded in the private school, and the great Confucianist who was teaching couldn't help smiling as he looked at this prosperous scene.

The way of sages and sages has been developed for hundreds of years, and it has been constantly honed in practice. At the present point, it can be said to be flourishing and inextricable.

After hundreds of years of development in the Han Dynasty, especially after the opening of private schools, folk preaching and lectures prevailed, and a large number of scholars appeared.

These scholars who have read poetry and books are actually the most powerful force in the political arena.

However, it is usually divided and attached to clansmen, relatives and other forces. After all, the current Sangong is basically held by clan relatives and relatives.

Even if there is a scholar as the prime minister, there must be a general from a foreign relative or a royal doctor from a clan to check and balance.

There are several main ways for these scholars to go. To be filial and honest, to be a scholar, to enter the imperial court has the most promising future.

If there is no such opportunity, then enter the county, accept the conscripts of the county guard and the county magistrate, and then have the opportunity to be recommended and enter the court.

The other is to follow the path of the princes. The status of the princes and kings is basically equivalent to that of the county guards, and guarding the princes is also a favorite. These people have places to recommend to the court.

Even if they are not recommended to the imperial court, it is not difficult for these people to find an official in the counties and counties of Kanto with their contacts.

In this world, capable people are always gradually replacing those with poor ability. Scholars are better than nobles of blood or even nobles of heaven.

From resourcefulness to governance, and even military affairs, these scholars can completely blow up the former.

Even if the former relied on their natural dignity to occupy the top position, the scholars could only stay low and be small, but from the bottom of their hearts, they looked down on those who only relied on their blood to show off their might.

The sound of reading in the private school is still loud. In a small pavilion, two people are playing chess. A white-faced and beardless scholar pressed a chess piece and sighed slightly: "The world is so exhausted today, and the people who are rebelling are getting more and more serious." increase, but the court is still in a state of drunkenness.

If the system is not reformed and the tyrants are still allowed to run amok and the officials exploit the common people, how much more suffering will the people of the world have to suffer? "

The scholar's clothes were clean, but obviously a bit old, and there were even two patches on the cuffs. He was also wearing plain clothes underneath, without any decorations. It was rather simple, but not surprising, because his name was Wang Mang.

He is well-known in the county, he is filial and polite, he treats his elders respectfully and sincerely, he is thrifty and prudent, he always uses money to help the poor and the poor, but he is not even willing to use a piece of gorgeous clothes.

He has a high prestige among the scholars in the county. After he became an official through the promotion of Xiaolian, he still served in the county, but his reputation gradually spread to the court.

The people who played against Wang Mang sighed slightly when they heard the words: "The imperial court is powerful, and the people who rise up today are far worse than in the last years of Emperor Li, and they can't threaten the princes and emperors in Guanzhong. The Dahan society is still very stable. According to the current There is no problem in lingering on for more than 200 years."

Wang Mang didn't have a good impression of these ministers who were sitting on vegetarian meals, so he snorted coldly and said, "Dahan Sheji?
The people are the most important, the king is the least, and the country is second. What is the use of a king who cannot govern the people?

What is the use of a country that cannot prosper?

In order to make those public servants drunk, extravagant, corrupt, morally corrupt, and forget the teachings of the sages, but still be at ease? "

It seems that he understands Wang Mang's character quite well, and his friend didn't say anything about this rather deviant remarks, but just sighed heavily.

Wang Mang looked at the clear black and white chess pieces on the chessboard, paused, and then said in a firm tone: "I will accept the imperial conscript and go to Chang'an."

This surprised his friend. Wang Mang, who was unwilling to go to Chang'an before, would have changed his mind. He couldn't help asking in surprise, "Ju Jun, why did you suddenly have such an idea?"

Wang Mang said with a gloomy face: "Mang has figured it out, crying day and night, can it make this world prosperous?

Could it be possible to touch the princes and emperors of the imperial court by criticizing the disadvantages of the times?
Only by fighting in person can the world prosper!

If you want to do things, you must have enough power. Back then, King Luowen, Marquis Wulie of Bowang, and Duke Zhaozhongyi were all extremely human ministers before they could easily reform.

Now that the Wang family is prominent and the general trend of the world is gradually leaning towards us, it is time to go to Chang'an.

When I am an extremely human minister, I will restart the way of Duke Zhao Zhongyi. I will go one step further than Duke Zhao Zhongyi and completely solve the plunder of Li Shu by the powerful.

Just restoring the rule of Emperor Xiaowen is not what I want, but it has collapsed to such a situation in a hundred years. After several history books, only Bang Zhouluo's kingly rule lasted the longest.

The closest thing to the world of Great Harmony in the sage classics!

Leading the people of the world into a world of great harmony is an inescapable responsibility of our generation in this world. "

"Jujun, you are too radical. This is an overkill. As long as the world can be restored to the time when Emperor Xiaocheng was emperor, it will be enough."

Wang Mang pressed a chess piece and said: "However, regularity is not enough to rectify wrongdoing. Without thunderbolt means, the darkness covering the big man cannot be broken. If you don't seek the best, how can you get a good result?
I used to study in Zhaocheng and witnessed how the Luo family governed the country. As long as I uphold the integrity and lead by example, I will be able to attract like-minded people and bring the world back on track. "

My friend shook his head when he heard the words. He didn't agree with Wang Mang's approach and ideas, but he had great trust in Wang Mang's character, because he has been doing this for 20 years. Who can not admire him?
In the eyes of everyone who knows and understands Wang Mang, Wang Mang is a near-perfect Confucian scholar-bureaucrat who has the character of a saint, treats everyone equally, is sympathetic, and does not flatter or bully others. In, is a clear stream.

It is this kind of reputation that makes Wang Mang's elders value him, and his prestige among scholars makes the voice of calling for him to be an official very high.

Wang Mang's refusal made it even more inevitable for the court to win.

"Snapped!"

The friend pressed the white stone and said softly: "Jujun, you lost."

Looking at the chaotic chessboard, Wang Mang was a little puzzled. He didn't know why the situation suddenly reversed. His friend pointed to one place and said: "You are too focused on one place, so you are defeated in the overall situation."

Wang Mang nodded, so that was the case, tidied up his crown robes, got up and left.

Looking at Wang Mang's leaving figure, the friend frowned slightly, recalling what Wang Mang said just now, and looked at the black and white pieces on the chessboard.

----

Wang Mang is a complicated person. He was born in a wealthy family but lived a simple life. He was able to guard himself when the children of the nobles were generally depraved and extravagant. He has a sense of justice. Like most scholars, he likes to criticize the current situation, hopes to change, and puts it into practice. .

If it is said that all of these are gestures made for the purpose of ascending to a high position, this is even more incomprehensible to the author, because after he achieves his goal, he still treats most people with respect and humility.

He was the moral model and pioneer of reform launched by scholars in the dark age when the dynasty was gradually collapsing, but a new question posed in front of everyone, why him?
Is this the choice of fate, or the necessity of personal struggle? —— "Wang Mang Biography"
