Established a millennium family since King Wu defeated Zhou

Chapter 547 Wang Mang and Zhaocheng

Wang Mang walked all the way to Chang'an, sending letters one after another in all directions.

In the era of Emperor Xiaoxuan, Zhaocheng opened up, so people from all over the world could enter Zhaogong Kingdom, do business, study, travel, and pilgrimage, except for the difficulty of being an official and some restrictions, there is basically no difference.

The opening of the Duke of Zhao is two-way, not only for outsiders to enter, but for the subjects of the Duke of Zhao, except for a few special people, such as the descendants of Xiang Yu, others, especially the Luo clan, are also allowed to move freely.

When the Duke of Zhao was first opened, there were not many people migrating, but with the increase in exchanges, especially the number of scholars studying, they made friends with each other, accepted invitations to become officials, and even introduced their younger sisters to each other. Luo family.

The atmosphere of the Han Dynasty was open again, and there was no such thing as a saying that women did not go out of the door and did not go out. The Luo family did not reject anyone who came, and naturally women also came to study. The integration and exchange of hundreds of years, except for the difference in household registration, There is no difference anymore.

Zhaocheng is a sanctuary for the elderly, and a sanctuary for those who like to be clean, but the Luo clan doesn't just like to be clean.

After all, even the sons of the Luo clan with stigmata have different personalities, let alone ordinary Luo clan members?
Over the past hundred years, the population has been continuously flowing out, but the Duke of Zhao has been suppressing the population. If there is more outflow, more people will be born, especially the female clansmen, who do not have the opportunity to become officials, and most of them are unwilling to leave Zhaocheng.

Moreover, the clansmen who go out cannot use the name of the Luo family, and it can even be said that they must directly take back the Luo family before they can leave.

Because the Luo family knows very well that Zhao Gongguo is different!

This is the place where the real Su Wang hangs his eyes. Living here will naturally be affected, but the outside world is different.

If you use a more fairy-tale saying, Zhao Gongguo has clean air, and the outside world is dirty air. The clean air makes people think upward, and the dirty air makes people think downward. clear".

If these people leave Zhaocheng and cause something to happen in the name of the Luo family, then the loss outweighs the gain.

As the suzerain state of the Xia kingdoms with the most extensive and most populous ruling area, the Han Dynasty also occupied almost all the fertile land in the Central Plains, so it was naturally everyone's first choice.

Those scholars who used to live in the Duke of Zhao knew best about the exhaustion of the world today. This group of people was the most determined reformer, and many of them were friends of Wang Mang when he was studying in Zhaocheng.

Wang Mang is a person, regardless of ability.

The personal morality is ridiculously high.

Moreover, he is the kind of person who is cautious and independent, and even many Luo's sons admire him for this. From this point of view, Wang Mang has his own unique charm.

A person who can be praised by countless capable people cannot be a worthless waste.

When Wang Mang went to Chang'an, he naturally had to write letters to these friends of his, asking them to come and help him.

He sent no less than a hundred letters from the Kanto all the way to the west, including his friends, his disciples, and clansmen he was more optimistic about. This network alone is beyond the reach of ordinary people.

"Chang'an."

After passing Luoyang, crossing Yiluo, crossing Weihan, and then came to the outside of Chang'an.

This is not the first time Wang Mang has come here.

In fact, he entered the imperial court a few years ago, and then resigned and returned to his hometown within a year.

Coming here this time is Qifu.

It's because many people want him back, it's because there are too many contradictions in the court!

If a famous sage like Wang Mang does not serve in the court, who will act as a facade?
The more Wang Mang didn't care about prosperity and wealth, the more he didn't want power, the more the court wanted to give it to him, and the more people in the world wanted to give it to him!

People all over the world are flocking to those fat jobs, why?

Because they want to profit from it!

This is a whole logical chain, and Wang Mang is unwilling to want it, which means that he doesn't care about the interests it represents. He doesn't care, so he is trusted.

Wang Mang recalled the last time he had a conflict with the emperor because of lack of strength. He tried to do some things, but the more he did, the more he did wrong. Finally, he was seized the opportunity and could only leave Chang'an sadly.

This time he will not make the same mistake again, he will grow himself quietly, never do things lightly and leave no openings for anyone before he holds the highest power.

After Wang Mang entered Chang'an, the members of the Wang clan in Chang'an city greeted him directly.

"Little Lord!"

The members of the Wang clan stepped forward and saluted respectfully, and Wang Mang also returned the salute.

Starting from Liu Ming, Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty, as one of the foreign relatives, the Wang family naturally embarked on a prominent road.

However, the family of foreign relatives has always belonged to its prosperity and its death is also sudden. If you want to maintain wealth for a long time, you must either transform into a military lord, or transform into a Confucian family that has completely risen from the time of Emperor Xiaoxuan.

Wang Mang is the unicorn son of the Wang family and the recognized leader of the Wang family for decades to come.

Even though he is not the son of the head of the family, his prestige in the Wang family is second only to a few elders. Among the young and middle-aged generation, there is no single enemy, and he is the next most popular heir of the Wang family.

In order to invite Wang Mang back from Guandong to Guanzhong, not only the court is working hard, but the Wang family is also doing the same. Fortunately, it is now a success.

The current power of the Wang family is due to the existence of the Empress Dowager and the Great Sima, both of which are indispensable, but at the moment when Shiqing and Shilu have been abolished, once the head of the family passes away, there is no suitable person to inherit the position of the Great Sima, and the power of the Wang family will be reduced. affected.

When Wang Mang returned to Chang'an, with his reputation, it only took a few years for him to take over the position of Da Sima and maintain the position of Wang's first family in Chang'an.

But no one knows that Wang Mang's goal is not only that, the Wang family was also so famous back then, but he was forced to leave Chang'an in the end!
Because although the Wang family is powerful, it cannot be arbitrary, and there is a lot of opposition. It can even be said that if the queen mother hadn't supported her in the palace, the Wang family would have left long ago.

"Anything that doesn't kill me will make me stronger. The means that defeated me will no longer be effective. This time I will not make the same mistakes as before. I will defeat everyone one by one.

Until I hold the highest power, turn the world into a picture scroll in my hand, and paint on it the country, the people, the peace, and the world is peaceful! "

This was Wang Mang's inner thoughts before he entered the palace.

He came here to meet the empress dowager, the key to the prosperity of the Wang family today.

The most noble woman in the world is indispensable to the Wang family, and everyone else, including Da Sima, can be replaced.

This is the status quo of the family of relatives, relying on a woman to become rich.

The emperor was also in the Empress Dowager's Weiyang Palace, looking at Wang Mang, who he didn't like very much, because Wang Mang always criticized him, thinking that he was not a holy king.

Of course the emperor knows that he is not a holy king, but without what you keep saying, if I were a holy king, wouldn't I be able to watch the big man slip and fail to stop it?

After Wang Mang saluted the Empress Dowager, he saluted the Emperor again, bowed deeply, and said, "Your Majesty is safe and blessed. I miss you very much. In the past, Mang was a little too reckless. It is Mang's fault."

The emperor looked at Wang Mang in front of him with some surprise.
