Chapter 109 A Halfway Reform

Shangguan Wan'er, with a compound surname of Shangguan and small character Wan'er, also known as Shangguan Zhaorong.Tang Dynasty female official, poet, imperial concubine.

Grandfather Shangguanyi used to be a prime minister, but was later convicted and killed because of his words, so he was assigned to the inner court with his mother Zheng as a maidservant.

However, Shangguan Wan'er was favored by Wu Zetian when she was 14 years old, and she was in charge of making patents in the palace. At that time, she was known as the female prime minister.

In the Tang Zhongzong era after Wu Zetian's death, Shangguan Wan'er was named Zhaorong again, and her power became more powerful. She had a prominent position in the political and literary circles.

However, later Li Longji launched the Tang Long coup, and Shangguan Wan'er was also involved, and was finally ordered by Li Longji to be killed together with Queen Wei.

However, Shangguan Wan'er's power is that although she was killed, after her death, Tang Xuanzong not only did not tamper with the history books to slander her, but also sent people to collect her poems and essays, and compiled them into twelve volumes. Prime Minister Zhang Shuo wrote a preface for it.

Moreover, Shangguan Wan'er is still one of the only two concubines known to have a posthumous title in the Tang Dynasty.As a woman, her status was extremely high, which was extremely rare in the Tang Dynasty.

Of course, the reason why Da Miao said that Shangguan Wan'er is a famous poetess is because Shangguan Wan'er's literary talent is indeed good, and it is also because of her literary talent that Wu Zetian and Empress Wei favored her and gained the right to be in charge of the government and the public .

Overseas Chinese Publishing House once published a book that listed Shangguan Waner, Li Qingzhao, Zhuo Wenjun and Cai Wenji as the four talented women in China, which shows that the literary world is very affirmative of Shangguan Waner's talent.

The reason why Xun Ze is not familiar with Shangguan Wan'er is that on the one hand, he has not learned the corresponding knowledge in elementary school textbooks, and on the other hand, because Shangguan Wan'er has a strong desire for power, a group of literati and scholars in later generations do not think much of Shangguan. Waner.

Here comes a big guy.

After asking Xunze to find out about Shangguan Wan'er's life under the pretext of going to the toilet, he found that the female student who came this time was only comparable to Di Renjie in terms of political skills.

Gao Qiu, who once held a high position even in the Song Dynasty, faced this 15-year-old girl, fearing that she would be sold and had to count the money for others.

After all, wisdom and wrist are not at the same level.

Back in the bedroom, he asked Xun Ze to open the bedroom where Li Bai lived before, and said to Shangguan Wan'er, "Then you will live in this room from now on. The one who happens to live opposite is also one of my female students."

"Well, good teacher." Shangguan Wan'er was not very familiar with everything in modern times, so she was not in a hurry to express herself, and all the answers were quite satisfactory.

"Hey, is there a new lady?" At this time, Zhao Ke'er walked out of the bedroom and immediately saw Shangguan Wan'er sitting there.

"My name is Shangguan Wan'er, hello senior sister." Shangguan Wan'er hurriedly greeted Zhao Ke'er when she saw Zhao Ke'er, she was even more obedient than Gao Qi back then.

"She is really a beautiful young lady." Zhao Ke'er had a fondness for beautiful young ladies. She ran directly over and threw herself into Shangguan Wan'er's arms.

"Hey, sister Wan'er, just call me Ke'er."

"Well, Ke'er." Asking Xun Ze to see that Zhao Ke'er liked Shangguan Wan'er, he told Zhao Ke'er, "Your sister Wan'er is the same as the previous schoolboys, you don't know how to use the modern Appliances, you are in charge of teaching her these few days."

"Okay, leave it to me." Zhao Ke'er patted her chest, signaling that everything was left to herself.

"Di Renjie, Li Yuanfang, you go back to your bedroom first."

Let Xunze know that Shangguan Wan'er's method will make Zhao Ke'er and her as close as sisters in a short time, so he let Di Renjie and Li Yuanfang go back to the bedroom first, and then he said to Wang Mang,

"Wang Mang, follow me to my bedroom."

"Good teacher."

When Wang Mang heard what Xun Ze said, he immediately realized that the plan he had made with Liu Xiu last week had not been completely successful, so he quickly got up and followed Xun Ze.

Thanks to the fact that there will be a memory fusion after Liu Xiu leaves, Xun Ze knows the specific results of Liu Xiu and Wang Mang's reforms last week without checking the information.

Things started exactly as Liu Xiu and Wang Mang thought.The two who were prepared used various means to restrain the people under them.Although there were still overt and covert struggles, they were completely restrained within a certain range and did not cause chaos in the entire court.

But what they didn't expect was that when they were both alive, they could indeed restrain their subordinates, but Wang Mang was much older than Liu Xiu.

In other words, even though Wang Mang has never had any major health problems, he still died decades earlier than Liu Xiu.

Once Wang Mang died, the situation where the two factions were evenly matched was completely disrupted.

Wang Mang's men worried that Liu Xiu would attack them, because Liu Xiu was the emperor in name after all.And Liu Xiu's subordinates felt that Wang Mang was dead, and if Liu Xiu had any friendship with Wang Mang, it should be over.Liu Xiu should immediately kill Wang Mang's former troops and take all the power back.

Thus, civil war broke out again.

Wang Mang's old department with real power escaped from Chang'an before Liu Xiu's attack (after Liu Xiu succeeded to the throne, Chang'an was renamed Chang'an), and then assembled a part of the army, made a concubine of Wang Mang the emperor, and started a civil war.

Because of the huge disparity in strength, the rebellion started by Wang Mang's former army was quelled within a few months.But the aftermath of this war is far more than that.

Because Wang Liu's reform was actually dominated by Wang Mang, most of the main officials of the reform were Wang Mang's subordinates.

After the rebellion subsided, not only Wang Mang's old troops who participated in the rebellion were killed, but Wang Mang's old troops who did not participate in the rebellion did not dare to serve in the court anymore, and most of them retired and returned home.

And those who did not return to their hometowns were mostly squeezed out by other officials and could not continue to carry out reforms.

The main force of the reform was forced to leave the court, and it was very difficult for Liu Xiu to carry out the reform even if he wanted to.Therefore, in more than a year after Wang Mang's death, Wang Liu's reform gradually became in name only, and finally ended completely.

Historically, this reform has been highly evaluated. It is believed that this reform not only reformed the political system, but also opened up a lot of land, which avoided the chaotic situation at the end of the Western Han Dynasty and allowed the country to transition from the Western Han Dynasty to the Eastern Han Dynasty in a stable manner.

But Wang Mang is a person who pursues perfection.

Obviously, this reform can solve many long-standing problems of the Han Dynasty.But because of the rebellion of his subordinates, the reform was forced to end halfway through.

So after Wang Mang learned about the whole thing from Xun Ze, he immediately stood up and said, "Teacher, is there a way to completely resolve the dispute between the two factions. Or Liu Xiu can continue to carry out reforms after my death."
