Established a thousand-year family from the end of Qin Dynasty

Chapter 183 Wang Mang's New Deal ([-])

Three years later

Yuanshou first year
Emperor Liu Xin changed his surname to Chen, and also changed the Han Dynasty to "Chen Sheng Liu Taiping Dynasty", thinking that this would stop the mouths of scholars all over the world and end the theory of passing on the surname of the country.

However, the scholars of ancient literature and classics felt that Emperor Liu Xin's coquettish manipulation was nothing more than self-deception, and they were still relentless, and kept admonishing the emperor to abdicate and let the virtuous.

Seeing that changing the country name and surname is still useless, and the Empress Dowager Fu has repeatedly interfered in the government affairs and stuffed the corrupt natal family into the court as the three princes and nine ministers, which led to the failure of Liu Xin's recuperation and rectification of officials.

The literati kept persuading him to abdicate to the virtuous, the tyrants persevered in being moths and annexing, the common people were always ready to rebel, the harem always wanted to interfere in politics, the officials were all related to corruption, and a series of self-cultivation reform policies all failed. His own body is getting worse day by day.

Faced with this hopeless situation, Emperor Liu Xin simply gave up on himself, brought Dong Xian into the harem, had a close relationship with Dong Xian every day, and even canonized Dong Xian as the Great Sima Hussar General.

"After I die, the world of this big man will be yours." The weak emperor Liu Xin said dotingly to Dong Xian.

He had already given up on treatment, since the big man was bound to perish, he should not save him at all, let him perish.

Didn't you ask me to abdicate to the virtuous?Well, I will abdicate to Xian, to Dong Xian!

Now that the big man is hopeless, before the big man is completely destroyed, he can enjoy it again, and let his own Dong Xian enjoy it with him, so it is not a waste of time to be the emperor.

"Your Majesty~"

Dong Xian rested his head on Emperor Liu Xin's lap, with a charming face like a woman's.

Xindu
Wang Mang's House
Many scholars of ancient texts and classics came to Wang Mang's house to discuss ancient texts and classics and learn Zhou rituals together.

Confucian scholars lashed out at the corruption and darkness of the Han Dynasty, and advocated that the Western Zhou Dynasty was beautiful.

"It was an era full of hope, an era full of poetry and distant places." A Confucian scholar said with longing.

"Yuyu is very literary, I follow Zhou!" Another Confucian scholar said with great yearning.

"People's hearts are not ancient, alas! In ancient times, the people were simple, kind, and selfish. Everyone was knowledgeable and reasonable, and the emperor was benevolent and caring for the people. Unlike now, alas——"

"The people of Ji Zhou have light in their eyes, because living in Da Zhou, everyone can enjoy the glory of the saint at close range, and everyone will have an extremely happy life."

"The people of the great Han, their eyes are not bright, because the great man has forgotten his ancestors, and he has forgotten that the Great Zhou is the orthodox of China."

"It was an era of freedom, but the free Great Zhou was destroyed by the Tyrant Qin, and then the Great Han inherited the Tyrant Qin!"

"Why does the big man refuse to restore the Zhou rituals, but inherits the system of Tyranny? I don't understand!"

"It must be because there are too many remnants of the Qin Dynasty. In the Han court, there are too many remnants of the Qin Dynasty. They are still sparing no effort to destroy our beautiful China!"

"I think this big man should just change his name to Houqin. Anyway, he inherited the system of Tyrant Qin. He is as unfree as Tyrant Qin, and as disgusting as Tyrant Qin!"

"Baoqin misled me for 300 years in China! Later Qin misled me for 300 years in China!"

"Ji Zhou is the orthodox, Qin and Han are all unrighteous!"

"Anti-Han and revive Zhou!"

"The enfeoffment system is the Chinese orthodoxy, and the county system is the barbarians!"

"Restore Huaxia, expel counties!"

"If you don't change the big man into a big Zhou, and don't bring back all the rituals of Zhou, the world can't be saved!"

Discussing the rituals of the Zhou Dynasty, the Confucian scholars became more and more dazed. They attributed the causes of the suffering of the people in the world to "the great Han ruled the country was not righteous", "Ji Zhou is the orthodox", "there are too many leftovers from the violent Qin Dynasty", etc. Mysterious and mysterious things .

At this time, Wang Mang's wife was asked by Wang Mang to serve tea and water for the Confucian scholars in person, so as to show Wang Mang's respect for the Confucian scholars.

woohoo-

Mrs. Wang Mang was pouring tea for a Confucian scholar, but the Confucian scholar found that Mrs. Wang Mang's skirt was much shorter than that of ordinary people, and even exposed her ankles.

"Is this in line with Zhou etiquette?" the Confucian scholar asked hastily.

The Confucian scholars here are all worshipers of Zhou rites, and their words and deeds must conform to Zhou rites. They think that Wang Mang is the one who understands Zhou rites best, so they respect Wang Mang as the reincarnated saint, and hope that Wang Mang will change the whole world.

But Mrs. Wang Mang actually wore a skirt that exposed her ankles and did not drag the floor, which surprised the Confucian scholars.

"Don't you know the rites of Zhou?" A Confucian scholar was very angry. He worshiped the rites of Zhou very much and would never allow anything inconsistent with the rites of Zhou.

At this time, Mrs. Wang Mang explained: "All the cloth at home is distributed to poor people who have no money to wear clothes, so there is a shortage of cloth, so we can only make short skirts. Please forgive me."

"Ah this!"

"I was the one who blamed Brother Jujun!"

"Duke Mang is really a saint in this world, we are ashamed of ourselves."

After the Confucian scholars realized that the reason for wearing short skirts for Mrs. Wang Mang was that they distributed all the cloth in the family to the common people, which resulted in insufficient cloth and had to wear short skirts, they admired Wang Mang even more.

"I didn't expect to see a real saint while I was alive. Hearing the Tao in the morning, he will die in the evening!" An old Confucian scholar was crying, and he admired Wang Mang very much.

"Mang Gong is not the son of heaven, the law of heaven is intolerable!" Another young Confucian scholar was impassioned.

At this time, a young man ran to the living room in fear, crying and begging for mercy to Wang Mang who was chasing him behind him: "Father, I don't dare anymore, please forgive me."

Wang Mang came to the living room, glanced at the many Confucian scholars in the living room, and then angrily scolded his son: "You can kill a maidservant at will, disregarding human life, how can I forgive you?"

"It's just a maid, but father, are you going to kill your son for a maid?" Wang Mang's son roared.

"The servant girl is also a common people!" "I, Wang Mang, would rather die than let the common people suffer!" "You are my son, Wang Mang, so you should be more considerate of the difficulties of the common people. How can you hurt the maid at will, and don't take her life seriously?" superior!"

Wang Mang scolded his son angrily, asked the servants to hold down his son, and then beheaded him with a sword!

"Ugh!—"

Wang Mang's son died immediately in the living room.

A group of Confucian scholars stared at Wang Mang dumbfounded, and they admired Wang Mang even more.

They asked themselves that they couldn't kill their own children for the sake of a maid, but Wang Mang did it, and he did it in front of everyone, not a random story.

"Alas... Mang Gong Qiangu!"

"Ju Jun cares about the people. He would rather abandon himself and his family than see the people suffer. If he is not a saint, who dares to call himself a saint?"

"The two sages of Confucius and Mencius are still alive!"

Confucian scholars really admire Wang Mang and are willing to help Wang Mang ascend to power.
