In particular, Wang Mang made great efforts to bribe scholars at that time.
In the last years of the Western Han Dynasty, land annexation was serious, and the society was polarized. The nobles and powerful people were extravagant, but the bottom people were forced to cannibalism.
But how did Wang Mang do it?
He first wrote a blank check to the bottom people.
Then he vigorously used the money of the imperial court to improve the treatment of scholars. He frantically built schools, and then spent huge sums of money to invite all scholars from all over the country to come to the symposium.
As long as you are willing to come, you must include food and housing.
Then send money to the officer.
Wang Mang's behavior is to spend money to bribe the group of people who have the most say in the whole society.
So Wang Mang got the full support of these people. You can see that the whole society thinks Wang Mang is good, but in fact, only the reading class thinks Wang Mang is good.
Because those who can't read or read don't have the right to speak.
Wang Mang's behavior, in the eyes of Confucianism, is to discredit Confucianism!
Praising Confucianism and flattering others is not the way to do it.
You have to do what you like!
It's too vulgar for you to give money to people when you can't meet them!
Although Wang Mang's behavior benefited scholars, in the eyes of later Confucians, this was clearly a slap in the face of Confucianism!
Let the people of the world think that Confucianism does things when it is given money. If it does not do things, it is probably because the money is not enough!
Although the matter is such a matter, you can't be so explicit, can you?
This is the main reason why Wang Mang was abandoned by Confucianism.
What Wang Mang does will only lower the style of Confucianism, making people think that Confucianism is a villain who is greedy for money and profit.
But Li Shimin and Empress Changsun's approach is to be Yangchun Baixue, so that their reputation and the interests of Confucianism are tightly bound together.
So it will be famous forever.
If you are Confucian, you think you will like Li Shimin's flattery.
Do you still like Wang Mang's way of giving money directly without any technical content? "
........................
Chongzhen bit the brush, and finally tasted something.
Self-hanging southeast branch:
"I'll go, this can really tell a high and low future."
"If I were a Confucianist, then I would definitely like Li Shimin's way. To praise Li Shimin is to praise yourself."
"Confucianism can govern the country, but is the status of Confucianism still inferior? Are you afraid that you won't be able to get promoted and get rich?"
"But Wang Mang's method is too disgusting. Does Confucianism do things for money?"
"Who is this looking down upon?"
…………
Cao Cao took a sip of tea and felt refreshed.
Friends of wives:
"Confucianism is not layman with extra money!"
"Even if you want to add money, it should be more elegant, more subtle, and not too explicit."
"Wang Mang is an idiot, it's unprofessional to praise people's stinky feet."
"Let the other party not feel the comfort of being touted at all, which completely disgusts Confucianism."
"If Confucianism doesn't hate him, who will he hate?"
………………
Wu Zetian was also convinced.
Heart of the Illusory Sea (Eternal Emperor, World Overlord):
"There's something wonderfully comforting about smart people doing things."
"But stupid people can always make a mess of things when they do things."
"From what Wang Mang did, I only saw that his IQ was in arrears."
"The means of buying people's hearts are too rough."
"The Confucians of later generations don't want to recognize it."
"They can't afford to lose this man."
"Confucians should think that if Wang Mang is classified with them, I think these Confucians will feel that their IQ has been humiliated."
………………
Wang Mang's nose is crooked at the moment, am I that bad?
Am I not good enough?
First traverser:
"What do you know?"
"The Confucians at that time called Wang Mang the Duke of Zhou alive, and said he was a Confucian sage!"
"How could Wang Mang offend Confucianism?"
…………
Chen Tong shook his head, his eyes were full of pity.
Chen Tong:
"This is the fourth question I mentioned about Wang Mang, as the saying goes, Wen Wu is the first, Wu Wu is the second.
Wang Mang touted himself as a saint in the world, which is a big taboo!
How can scholars be willing to boast that they are saints?
Saints are to be honored by future generations.
Wang Mang boasted about himself, which directly ignited the jealousy of the Confucians.
You are amazing to be an emperor, so you dare to boast that you are a saint?
They all thought that if you, Wang Mang, dare to boast that you are a saint, then we will find fault!
This is the evil of human nature!
Wang Mang lifted himself too high, so he would fall even worse afterwards.
From the day he boasted that he was a saint, he had to live under the criticism of later generations of Confucians, who would use a magnifying glass to see all Wang Mang's actions.
It doesn't matter if you look at it, and I've pulled out all kinds of shady things about Wang Mang for you.
In fact, when Wang Mang was in the Han Dynasty, he was not as miserable as being hacked.
But in the Song Dynasty, when Confucianism became more and more prosperous, people like Confucianism were not polite to Wang Mang.
Regarding the death of Emperor Han Ping in the Han Shu, it is only said that he died of illness, because it is impossible to determine whether it was poisoned by Wang Mang.
But Ma Guang doesn't care so much about you, so he must ensure that his position is correct. The Confucians in the Song Dynasty looked down on Wang Mang very much, so they felt that Wang Mang must have killed Emperor Han Ping.
Therefore, in "Zi Zhi Tong Jian", the death of Emperor Han Ping was said to be poisoned wine sent by Wang Mang.
It's only ruthless to stab your own people!
This fully shows that Wang Mang's self-important and boastful shameless behavior has completely angered all Confucians.
Confucianism praises that people must be particular, have routines, and have unspoken rules.
Confucianism can't boast about itself, it must let the people around it boast, let future generations do the same.
Wang Mang broke the rules.
Therefore, he was extremely despised by Confucianism in later generations.
This is his brain damage.
Who dares to boast that he is a saint in the world?
Isn't this going to be the butt of a gun?
Have you forgotten that there is an old saying in Yanhuang?
The wood is beautiful in the forest, and the wind will destroy it!
This is stupid performance. "
…………
At this moment, even Yue Fei felt that Wang Mang had a brain hole.
Although it is said that Wen Wu is the first and Wu Wu is the second, but people with long brains know that as long as you dare to say that your martial arts are the best in the world, then you will never have a peaceful life.
All kinds of people line up to challenge you, so many that you doubt your life.
There are also all kinds of shameless touches that will come.
Wang Mang doesn't know what human jealousy is.
bristle:
"I used to think that Wang Mang was a character, but after I understand the social background of Wang Mang's era."
"I feel like Wang Mang is like that."
"First of all, Wang Mang cast a good pregnancy, and has a good aunt who is absolutely invincible, and can bring Wang Mang back to life at any time."
"Secondly, as long as you are willing to bribe scholars, there will be no voice of opposition. This means that money is easy to do."
"The same is true of Song Taizong Zhao Guangyi."
"This made me see that the process of Wang Mang's rise to power is nothing more than two things, that is, power and money."
