When Wang Mang said these words, everyone at the banquet, including his heirs and cronies, were stunned. poisonous wine Even if you poison, you should still poison Liu Xiu and his men.
Why are you poisoning your own people?
Just when everyone thought Wang Mang was joking, Wang Mang calmly said that he had long known that people from his own faction and people from Liu Xiu's faction could not get along.
In order to prevent the reform from stalling, Wang Mang decided to sacrifice himself and hand over the entire power of the court to Liu Xiu, hoping that Liu Xiu could continue the reform.
Because Wang Mang's bottle of poisonous wine poisoned the backbone of his entire faction to death, the remaining ministers responsible for reform had no strength or reason to rebel even if they wanted to.
Therefore, Liu Xiu can continue to use these people with confidence.
After Wang Mang explained the pros and cons, amidst the curses of his heirs and some cronies, he knelt down to Liu Xiu's cronies, hoping that these people would not crowd out the reform ministers he left behind after his death, and allow the cause of reform to continue.
Under this circumstance, even those who had doubts about Wang Mang felt from his death-seeking behavior that Wang Mang had no desire for power at all.
All he wanted was the success of reform.
After Wang Mang said his wish, he vomited blood and died in Liu Xiu's arms not long after.
And with Wang Mang's death, the ministers who had been toasted by Wang Mang also died one by one.
The core strength of the entire Wang Mang faction was completely eliminated in this banquet.
The remaining cronies of Wang Mang were either indifferent in character or the backbone of reform.
After Wang Mang's death, these people were immediately relied upon as confidants by Liu Xiu.
Not only was Liu Xiu's behavior not opposed by his original cronies, but it was also supported by most people.
At that time, the literati in both the government and the public no longer mentioned the old story of Wang Mang usurping the Han Dynasty.
On the contrary, I always thought that Wang Mang could be compared with the saints of ancient times.
At this point, the factional disputes that originally troubled Wang Mang and Liu Xiu were completely eliminated with Wang Mang's death.
In order to commemorate Wang Mang, the Yuanshi calendar method invented by Wang Mang was also preserved and used by all dynasties.
In the second year of Yuanshou, Emperor Ai of the Han Dynasty passed away.
Wang Mang supported Emperor Ping of the Han Dynasty, and the first era title he designed for Emperor Ping of the Han Dynasty was the first year of Yuanshi, which was also the first year of AD.
Unexpectedly, this guy Wang Mang actually came up with a chronological system.
Jing Xunze looked at the Yuanshi chronology used in historical materials and was a little pleased.
Since modern times, China has begun to use the Western Gregorian calendar, and the first year of AD is also the year when Jesus was born.
The main reason for this is that Western culture has taken over the mainstream internationally, so for the sake of convenience, the country has to use the name AD.
But in the original historical records before Wang Mang first came to Xunze, the first year of AD also happened to be the year when Wang Mang proclaimed Emperor Ping of the Han Dynasty.
Emperor Ping of the Han Dynasty was only nine years old at that time, so Wang Mang made the decisions on all major affairs of the government and the public.
So Wang Mang, like a time traveler, designated this year as the first year of Yuanshi, the same year as the first year of AD.
Later, Wang Mang came to a place called Xunze.
After learning about the Gregorian calendar, he went back and improved the Yuanshi calendar, making it a very complete calendar like the AD calendar.
Because Wang Mang committed suicide, the court and the public were shocked by Wang Mang's character like an ancient sage, and continued to use the Yuanshi chronology he invented as a chronology different from the era name.
After entering modern times, people discovered that Wang Mang's Yuanshi chronology and AD chronology were almost exactly the same, so they abandoned the era name and officially used the Yuanshi chronology.
Wang Mang indeed chose this step.
After reading all the records about Wang Mang, Xunze couldn't help but sigh.
This is indeed the best way to resolve conflicts.
He took some of his cronies to death, which not only allowed Liu Xiu to completely take control of power, but also prevented Liu Xiu's men from embarrassing Wang Mang's old troops.
After all, people all committed suicide to avoid political strife.
In that era when everyone still wanted to lose face, who dared to continue to fight for their own selfish desires despite the disapproval of the world.
At the banquet, Wang Mang deliberately poisoned all his cronies who were in charge of the military.
Therefore, even if Wang Mang's old troops wanted to rebel, they did not have the corresponding strength.
What's more, Wang Mang's death is equivalent to giving all of them a gold medal to avoid death.
As long as they don't make the mistake of treason, no one will punish them.
In order to commemorate Wang Mang, Liu Xiu also gave Wang Mang's daughter a title, and asked one of the daughters' children to change their surname to Wang and inherit the Wang family.
This is also the reason why Wang Yiyi's ancestors dared to pretend to be Wang Mang's descendants.
After watching Wang Mang, Xunze felt a little sad.

But he still entered Shangguan Wan'er's name in the search column, wanting to see if Shangguan Wan'er had changed her fate this time.
The answer is, of course, no.
Even though Shangguan Wan'er's personal charm is huge.
But Li Longji was also a hero when he was young.
How could this woman who manipulated power survive the coup and join forces with Princess Taiping to deal with him?
So even though Shangguan Wan'er responded in time this time and broke off the relationship with Empress Wei before the coup began, and went to seek the protection of Princess Taiping on the day of the coup, Li Longji, who was determined, still sent people to ambush Shangguan Wan'er.
Son, and then executed Shangguan Wan'er on the spot.
So Shangguan Wan'er didn't succeed this time.
I just don’t know if these two women can join forces to overthrow Li Longji when Princess Taiping comes next week.
On Sunday afternoon, Da Miao arrived on time with his students.
"Teacher, this is Her Royal Highness Princess Taiping."
After Shangguan Wan'er discovered that Princess Taiping was here this time, she introduced Princess Taiping to Xunze with excitement.
"Student Li Lingyue met the teacher."
Although Princess Taiping is only one year younger than Shangguan Wan'er, Xunze's age when she comes this time is also fifteen.
But because Princess Taiping has not read her own life, she does not know what kind of revolutionary friendship she and Shangguan Wan'er will have in the future.
So she did not let Shangguan Wan'er continue to introduce her identity on her behalf.
Instead, she passed Shangguan Wan'er and introduced herself to Xunze.
These breasts are not right, why are they called Princess Taiping?
Xunze glanced at Princess Taiping's chest subconsciously, and then adjusted his gaze to a normal state without others noticing.
"Yes.
This is the first time I have a student with a princess status here."
Jing Xunze said jokingly to Princess Taiping, "It's really a bit of a surprise."
"It is also an honor for this princess to study with the teacher."
Note: Princesses of the Tang Dynasty generally did not call themselves princess or palace.
But that’s how it’s called here for convenience
