Chapter 260: Bai Mang Changes to Yan Hu!

Everything was the best arrangement. In this way, Wang Mang successfully assumed the position of the most powerful Sima of the Han Dynasty after Wang Gen.

However.

Even if he holds the position of Da Sima.

In the eyes of outsiders, Wang Mang is still the humble man.

In the process of governing, he worked tirelessly to recruit virtuous people, and still used his salary and rewards to entertain celebrities all over the world.

But my family's life is extremely shabby.

Even the clothes worn by his wife are not allowed to wear patterns, and they are required to be the same as those worn by the common people.

Such a performance fell in the eyes of the people in the world. Who could not praise this great Sima's moral character and follow the example of the ancient saint.

But just when Wang Mang was making steady progress according to his plan.

He only held the position of Da Sima for one year.

Emperor Han Chengdi died of illness.

Emperor Cheng had no children, so he had to choose another emperor named Liu among his brothers.

So Liu Xin, son of Liu Kang, Prince Gong of Dingtao, was chosen.

This time.

The choice appeared in the Book of Heaven in front of Wang Mang again.

[Emperor Cheng passes away and the new emperor Liu Xin ascends the throne. You have the following three choices. 】

[Fierce, using his position as Chief Sima, he imitated Huo Guang, deposed Liu Xin, and got involved in the country in advance. 】

[Ping, do nothing. 】

[Ji, take the initiative to resign and continue to be popular among the people. 】

When Wang Mang saw these three choices.

Something strange happened in my heart.

To be honest, he was indeed ready to imitate Huo Guang's idea of ​​abolishing and establishing.

Unexpectedly, the Heavenly Book actually reminded him that this method was very dangerous.

After calming down and thinking.

He understood why.

Now in the court, although the Wang family is the most powerful, it is not without opponents.

It is still far from reaching the realm of "Yi Yan Tang" when Huo Guang was regent.

If he really wanted to abolish Regent Sima so quickly, then the result would be really disastrous.

but……

If you take the initiative to resign, can you really wait for the opportunity to make a comeback?

If it were anyone else, facing such a momentous choice.

There may be hesitation and doubt.

After all, the future is uncertain.

But Wang Mang didn't think about it for too long, and submitted his resignation to the new emperor the next day.

This choice also shocked the government and the opposition.

The subsequent public response convinced Wang Mang that he was right to do so.

Next.

The people in the court were all shocked, but they confirmed Wang Mang's character even more.

What kind of person can take the initiative to resign from the position of the supreme commander?

And in the underground palace.

Thirty or forty years later, after the whipped Haihun Hou Liu He, when Emperor Yuan arrived.

Several emperors surnamed Liu already knew that in the Han family court above, the Wang family, a relative, was extremely powerful. The White Snake who might overthrow the Han Dynasty probably came from this family.

And after Emperor Cheng came down.

After Liu Che and Liu Ji heard about the growth trajectory of the Wang family during the years of Emperor Cheng,

Even more gnashing of teeth.

"A family can actually have four people in a row holding the post of Chief Sima of my great Han Dynasty."

Liu Che was furious and angry at these great sons and great-grandchildren:

"I didn't hesitate to kill Mrs. Gouye back then because I was afraid that my wife would be strong and my relatives would be in power. I didn't expect that after a few generations, you useless things would still turn the situation into what it is now!"

Liu Ji stroked his beard and said: "Wang family, Wang Mang... It seems that the one who is destined to overthrow our Han Dynasty should be this Wang Mang, Mang, snake, alas... Is it true that my Han Dynasty can't escape this history?" The fate of reincarnation?”

When Emperor Cheng heard that Wang Mang was actually the one who might overthrow the Han family, even when facing his ancestors, he was unwilling to believe it and said:

"My dear ancestors, although my grandson also feels that the Wang family is powerful and will threaten our descendants, that person should not be Wang Mang..."

He said hesitantly:

"This man has always been virtuous and simple. I have seen everything he has done in his life over the past thirty or forty years. He is clearly a saint comparable to Duke Zhou."

"Comparable to Duke Zhou?" Liu Che laughed angrily: "That's all if you compare him with Huo Guang, but you can actually compare him with Duke Zhou, a saint? There will only be one such saint in the world!"

Liu Ji also stroked his beard and smacked his lips and said, "It just so happened that when our national destiny of the Han Dynasty was about to come to an end, a so-called 'sage' appeared. I never believe in any saint!"

Emperor Cheng of the Han Dynasty was scolded by several ancestors.

Liu Che finally chose to say in a cold voice: "Just wait. Anyway, according to the future of the country, there will be only a few decades. No matter who seizes the land of my great Han Dynasty, as long as he ascends the throne and proclaims himself emperor, he will have to come here to see you." We, by then, I want to see what this person looks like!"

Liu Ji smiled and said: "Hey, this is my grandson. You have to think like this. It doesn't matter if the boss loses. He will have to come here sooner or later. When the time comes, we ancestors will vent our anger on you unfilial descendants!"

Although he said it with a smile, anyone could hear Liu Jizhong's helplessness that he had to admit.

Already resigned to his fate.

In the Yang world.

Within a year after Wang Mang resigned, he faced another major decision in his life.

[The second son Wang Huo killed his slave, you now have the following three choices. 】

[Ominous: Suppress this matter. 】

[Ping: Don't worry, it's just a family slave who died. ]

[Ji: Killing someone means paying with his life, let your son pay with the life of that family slave. ]

When he saw this choice.

Even though Wang Mang had been following the guidance of the Heavenly Book for so many years, he was still shocked.

How could he give such a choice.

Is this really going to force him to become a saint?

That night, Wang Mang locked himself in the room.

The next day.

All the people in the palace saw that the master's eyes were bloodshot, his face was tired, and there were even more white hairs on his temples. After he came out, he called out his son Wang Huo.

Ordered him to commit suicide.

When Wang Huo heard the news, he looked at his father in disbelief.

Wang Mang said expressionlessly: "Killing someone means paying with his life, and the prince is guilty of the same crime as the people. What's more, you are just my son, Wang Mang, and not a royal relative!"

Everyone pleaded for Wang Huo.

Especially the queen's mother, her eyes were swollen from crying, she pulled Wang Mang's trouser legs, and shouted that he was your son.

Wang Huo saw that even when his mother knelt in front of this man, the other party's eyes did not change at all.

For a moment, he closed his eyes, knowing that his fate had been decided.

He just smiled bitterly and said to Wang Mang:

"Dad, I will fulfill your wish. I was born by you. You want to be a saint. How can a son not be filial?"

After the words fell, he drew the sword from his waist, wiped it on his neck, and committed suicide.

After this matter was spread.

The government was shocked.

Everyone gave a thumbs up.

Because of this matter, they all complained about Wang Mang's resignation. In the court, many officials personally petitioned the new emperor not to let such a virtuous and benevolent person retire!

He should continue to govern, and the Han Dynasty would have hope!

Influenced by the people and the court, Liu Xin had to recall Wang Mang again, but he doubted whether Wang Mang's approach was in line with human nature.

On this point, Liu Xin's understanding of Wang Mang was completely different from that of Emperor Cheng.

Is it really just for the moral evaluation of the world that he can do such a thing as sacrificing his relatives for the sake of justice?

If not, how terrible and dangerous is the thing this person pursues?

Therefore, although he was swept up by the popular support of Wang Mang in the court and the people, he never intended to really re-employ Wang Mang in his heart.

He just let him serve Queen Mother Wang after returning to Chang'an.

But Emperor Liu Xin, although he had vision, mind and scheming, unfortunately he had a fatal problem.

That is, he had the same hobby as Longyang Jun in the Warring States Period.

He had the habit of homosexuality.

Therefore, even if he met the qualifications of being an emperor, his body did not allow him to stay in the position of emperor for too long.

So, only six years after he succeeded to the throne, Liu Xin, who was only 24 years old, died prematurely in Changle Palace.

Posthumous title, Emperor Ai!

Because he liked male homosexuality, it was naturally impossible for him to leave offspring.

And Wang Mang finally waited for this day.

On the day after Emperor Ai Liu Xin passed away, he asked his aunt, the Queen Mother, to go to the palace in person and take away the emperor's jade seal.

Then he issued an edict, asking the ministers in the court to nominate candidates for the Grand Marshal.

This day was exactly the day Wang Mang had been waiting for.

With all his years of hard work, he was again nominated as the Grand Marshal by all the officials without any controversy.

Among them, although one or two important officials opposed it, there was no ripple at all.

At this point, Wang Mang looked at the Book of Heaven again.

He found that the choice in the Book of Heaven finally came when he could expose all his ambitions.

[You succeeded the Grand Marshal for the second time. At this time, no one is your opponent. You have the following choices]

[Ji: Place your own confidants in the court and completely control the court]

Wang Mang looked at this choice with a blank expression in the room.

Enjoying this joyful moment that he had been waiting for for many years.

Two years later.

He completely controlled the court. At this point, he only needed a small instruction from him, and all the officials would take the initiative to write to him.

It was said that his contribution was equal to that of Huo Guang in the past, and he had made the policy to stabilize the ancestral temple, so he should enjoy the same reward as Huo Guang in the past.

So, after he pretended to decline three times, he successfully upgraded his title to the rank of "Duke".

At this point.

Wang Mang knew that he was only one step away from achieving his real dream.

That is to go above the ministers and add the last layer of gorgeous coat.

So, at the age of 49, he successfully got an official position that belonged only to him.

Prime Minister!

Above the princes and nobles.

At the same time, he did not forget that he had to continue to maintain the image of a wise man and saint in the eyes of the world.

Various policies for the welfare of the people of the world came out of his hands.

And doing all this was for the last layer of gorgeous coat.

That is...

Add the Nine Gifts.

This is the coat that allows a minister to enjoy treatment almost equal to that of the emperor.

On this day, a total of 900 officials in the court wrote to him, requesting that he be given the Nine Gifts.

The emperor in power now was only a child of 13 or 14 years old.

The entire court was controlled by Wang Mang and his aunt, the queen mother.

With almost no obstacles, Wang Mang got everything he wanted.

Now, there is only one last obstacle left before he can reach that position.

That obstacle is the emperor who is only fourteen years old now!

Wang Mang knew what he should do at this time.

So, just over half a year passed.

Emperor Liu Kun, who was only fifteen years old, died suddenly.

Wang Mang can finally follow Huo Guang's example.

In fact, what he did was even more powerful than Huo Guang.

He directly called himself the Emperor of Photography.

They did not even elect a new emperor, and only made Liu Ying, the great-great-grandson of Emperor Xuan, the crown prince.

This left the Liu family with the last bit of shame.

There is almost no objection from people in the world.

It was as if he had already admitted in his heart that Wang Mang should be the emperor.

See the world's response.

Wang Mang felt calm because all this was the result of his hard work over the years.

But only the clan surnamed Liu scattered all over the world began to panic.

They couldn't just watch the country left by their ancestors and finally change their surname to Wang.

So, half a year after the death of Liu Qu, who was nicknamed Emperor Ping,

[The world is talking about it, and armies are rising everywhere. You have only one choice for this. 】

[Ji, after sending troops to suppress it, he immediately ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor with the general trend, changing the Yuan and innovating! 】

Wang Mang has been waiting for this day for too long.

The generals he has trained over the years can finally be put to use.

Therefore, it only took half a year for a young general named Wang Yi under him to put down all the uprisings.

That is during this period.

Strange phenomena are everywhere in the world.

The colorful clouds in Luoshui, the purple energy in Chang'an, and the auspicious signs one after another are telling people all over the world that it is time to establish a new dynasty, change the Yuan Dynasty and found a country.

December.

Snow is falling.

Covering Chang'an City.

"Auntie, hand it over." Wang Mang stood with his hands hanging down, standing naturally in the Queen Mother's palace.

The Queen Mother Wang Zhengjun looked at Wang Mang with red eyes and said: "Are you really going to take away Liu's surname? No, Liu's surname has been around for two hundred years. Isn't it enough for you to be a fake emperor?!"

"To this day, I am not afraid to tell my aunt the truth." Wang Mang's voice was calm and magnetic: "From the day I was born, the fate of Liu's country has come to an end. I came to this world with destiny, that is, to take over. The emperor named Liu."

With that said, he sent someone to get the imperial seal.

The Queen Mother was hysterical: "Even if I break this thing, you won't be able to get it!"

Then he threw the palm-sized jade seal in his hand directly towards his feet.

Seeing this, Wang Mang's eyes narrowed.

Click!

Just hear a crisp sound.

Wang Mang felt slightly relieved, seeing that although the jade seal was only broken into pieces.

And his men immediately picked up the jade seal.

Wang Mang looked at the jade seal passed down from the country in his hand and said softly: "Let me continue the destiny of the country for hundreds of years."

A few days later.

Wang Mang accepted Ru Ziying's Zen position and successfully ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor.

The founding of the country is a new one.

When he climbed up to the Temple of Heaven step by step to offer sacrifices to heaven.

What keeps flashing before my eyes is my hard work over the past fifty years.

When he was on the Temple of Heaven, he successfully turned around and looked at the mountains and rivers of the Central Plains.

The Yanhu has been destroyed.

A big white snake crawled out from Yanhu's body and crawled across the entire Central Plains.

It was also the same moment when Wang Mang ascended the throne and the white snake was replaced by the flaming tiger.

Inside the ascension platform, Bai Emperor's eyes suddenly burst into infinite light.

Feel the infinite national luck below and connect with yourself!

Daoxing skyrocketed again! !

"Jiang Taiyi finally won alone!"

Bai Di let out a long roar, and his whole body's momentum impacted Jiang Taiyi's Dao Transformation Qi machine outside the ascension stage!

Crunch! (End of chapter)
