Established a millennium family since King Wu defeated Zhou

Chapter 554 What is the difference between the throne and me!
The palace ushered in a new hostess, Zhao Feiyan, an actress and dancer transformed into the queen of a man.

It is quite legendary, and everyone in the world is eager to talk about it. In this era when the concept of family status is not particularly strong, Zhao Feiyan's success is very exemplary.

The emperor indulged in lust, emptied his body early, and met a peerless enchantress like Zhao Feiyan, who crazily took pills. After an ordinary cold, he took the alchemist's magic medicine, but he couldn't afford it. Died on the sickbed.

Regarding the death of the emperor, the courtiers held a relatively indifferent attitude, and the common people were only limited by the rules of etiquette to howl.

Among the generally short-lived emperors of the Han Dynasty, Liu Chi's reign was considered to be very long.

For an emperor like Liu Chi, his contribution to the world in this death is greater than his achievements in this life.

The ministers gave Liu Chi a middling posthumous title Xi in a step-by-step manner, with no merit or fault.

The process of Liu Chi's burial in the emperor's mausoleum began step by step, but the court's thoughts were no longer on this, but on the future emperor.

Zhao Feiyan had no son, but Emperor Xi did have an heir.

It's just that they are all relatively young. Zhao Feiyan, who was promoted to empress dowager at a young age, chose one of the princes who was only two years old and whose biological mother died of dystocia, and took him to the throne as empress dowager.

This will be her son from now on.

The empress dowager didn't say anything, because Wang Mang finally reached the peak of power in the process of changing the throne, and the great general Sima was added the rank of assistant government to control the military and political power of the big man.

After Huo Guang, the Han Dynasty ushered in a foreign relative who ruled the world, even stronger than Huo Guang.

But the radical scholars don't just want this. What Huo Guang inherited was the prosperity of Emperor Xiaoxuan, but what Wang Mang faced was an exhausted situation. Countless people shouted, "Heaven has a great mission to protect the stability of the people. For the public."

To become a prince was Wang Mang's last test of the opposition.

If it is not the Liu family who is called king, the princes of the world will rise up and attack him.

The duke is not included in this list, but the duke is still a very special position, which will be considered by some people as usurpation, because at present the big man has a dukedom, a high degree of autonomy, and has its own official system. The only thing related to the big man is every time The new monarch needs the canonization of the emperor. If Wang Mang is a duke, will he also establish a semi-independent dukedom?
Then Wang Mang has the power to promote, appoint and reward officials without even going through the hands of the court, and there is no regulation on the size of the dukedom, which is a hidden danger.

What exactly does Wang Mang want to do?

Luo Qi couldn't sit still, she went straight to Wang Mang's mansion, and asked, "Your Majesty, what do you want to do? Do you want to be called the Duke?"

Wang Mang asked with a sad face, "Wen Qi, what should Mang do so that the world will not criticize it?

The cause of reform is always caught in the complexity of such human feelings, when will it be able to make a big splash?

There is a steady stream of opposition, and the punishment cannot stop. Fame is their life, and they always go forward for the fame. "

As long as Wang Mang has no intention of directly usurping the throne, Luo Qi secretly breathed a sigh of relief: "In the Spring and Autumn Period, in the classics of various schools of thought, the world cannot forget the frequent regicide and usurpation of the throne. King Luowen and Marquis Wulie of Bowang The atmosphere of the world is normal.

But every courtier who is close to the throne will still be suspected, this is the fate of a powerful minister, just do what Qi said. "

Wang Mang hurriedly said, "I also ask Wen Qi to show me."

So Luo Qi told Wang Mang what she had been thinking for a long time, and then stared closely at the subtle changes in Wang Mang's expression. Wang Mang was first stunned, then entangled and struggling, and finally relieved.

"Just as you said."

The sound of the Duke's advancement seemed to be overwhelming, and finally someone couldn't help but walked out under tremendous pressure from the court.

On the court hall, Zhao Feiyan hugged the child emperor and listened to the government behind the curtain. Wang Mang stood at the top, and then saw an official with a dark complexion come out, but said respectfully and loudly: "Is there any subject of my big man who can match Luo Luo?" King Wen's?
King Yiluowen's merits to the great man were only Dong Ahou in his lifetime.

Although Dong'ahou has [-] households, he is still a lieutenant after all.

Now Great General Sima is indeed a virtuous person, but compared to King Luo Wen, he is still far behind. Great General Sima does have a little credit, but compared to King Luo Wen, it is Yinghuo and Haoyue competing for glory.

Don't say compared with King Luo Wen, even compared with Bowang Wuliehou, can General Da Sima beat him?
Now that General Da Sima is about to surpass King Luowen, he has even become a Duke. Isn't this a betrayal of King Luowen?
The great general has not made any contribution, but he has already become an extremely human minister, and he is not satisfied. He wants to become a prince and become a prince, but the old man wants to know, when will the great general be satisfied?
Do you want to be crowned king after you become a duke?
After becoming a king, is he going to be a false emperor?
Or is it like what the market said, the destiny of the great man is about to end? You are a saint descended from heaven, and the world can only be peaceful if the seat of Zen is given to you? "

!!!

The officials in the previous paragraph didn’t think there was anything wrong with it, but in the latter paragraph, everyone’s hairs stood on end. These market rumors were spread among the people, or even privately. , but there is a historian's record here, which is destined to be in the history books.

There are indeed a lot of people who are dissatisfied with the court, but at least there is still a superficial flower cluster. There are many people who want the emperor to take the throne directly, but no one mentions it at the court, because this matter is too big. People can predict the future direction.

Zhao Feiyan's gaze fell on Wang Mang. She and Wang Mang could cooperate to seize power, but usurping the throne was absolutely impossible. Then she looked at Luo Qi, feeling a little relieved.

Now that she is quite familiar with Luo Qi, she thinks that she understands Luo Qi's character better. Although she is not as gentleman as the legendary Luo's son, she is still a trustworthy person.

Wang Mang's eyes also fell on Luo Qi, seeing that Luo Qi didn't say a word, he said quietly: "In this world, there are always people who want to do things, there are countless difficulties, and countless complicated troubles surround me.

Ugh.

Today, in this Changle Palace, I will show my ambition to the people of the world.

Princes and dukes, that's not what I want, what use are they to me?

It just adds to the criticism of the world!
False emperor is what I want to do, this is the honor of King Luowen.

But abdication, seeking to usurp the throne, is that what I am after?

I was originally Liehou Zhongzi, but I came to this point because of the trust of the people in the world. If I didn't have light in my heart, I would leave the palace at this moment.

Using intrigue and cunning to rob things that don't belong to you, the final result is to be rejected by the people of the world.

I once heard that during the time of Bangzhou, some princes traveled thousands of miles to the Luo Kingdom to ask the Lord of Luo to become the Emperor of Zhou, and even the Emperor Zhou hoped to entrust the position of Emperor to the Lord of Luo.

Until now, there has been such a voice.

Now there are voices of me becoming a prince, and some ministers have come to stop me. This shows that my prestige and achievements are not enough to be called a prince.

It is not enough to be called public, so why do you slander me to usurp the throne?
Only people like you would regard fame as more important than the world.

This is probably the chick knowing the ambition of the swan!
If the world is exhausted, civil turmoil breaks out everywhere, and the people have no food to eat, and struggle to survive, I can only take off my hat and crown, and bear the whipping of the people of the world.

The position of the emperor, the power and position that the world pursues, I disdain!
I want Haiyan and Heqing, I want the world to be together, let the world prosper, I want all the people in the world to send me the crown, and then I will refuse.

At that time, I just said, 'This is not my achievement, I just respectfully execute the decree of heaven. '

Having said all of this, the minister resigned first. "

After speaking, he went straight to the outside of the hall, completely ignoring the court meeting that was still in progress. All the officials in the hall were shocked by Wang Mang's remarks, and then there was a trace of admiration.

His footsteps never stopped, every step seemed to be stepping on everyone's hearts, his figure alone seemed to be higher than the roof of the temple!
After the meeting was over, Luo Qi was summoned by the Queen Mother.

----

Loyalty is difficult to distinguish, this is probably the biggest fog left by Wang Mang to history, even though there are rich historical materials, but Wang Mang's image is so divided, he is constantly divided between a treacherous minister who confuses the ruler and disrupts the country, and a loyal minister who pleads for the people. Swinging, the author looks at his heart through these complicated information. He is just a person who always wants to be able to conquer the world. For this goal, he can sacrifice everything, including the emperor of the Han Dynasty who he should be loyal to. —— "Wang Mang Biography"

----

Mang took charge of the government and acted alone, and the Yin made scholars speak out and proclaim the public by virtue, so some ministers said proudly: "What merit does Mang have? Enter the public today, and the king tomorrow, and the country is safe?"

Mang said: "I belong to the Marquis Zhongzi, and I only want to stabilize the country. How can the throne be with me!
Only submit to the sky, and the work of respect will be accomplished! "

People at the time said: "Reckless humility is not usurped!"

Sometimes people say: "Mang is not the king of Wen, but rather like Yi Yin." ——"Han Shu·Wang Mang Biography"
