Great fusion of heaven and earth

Chapter 932 Wang Mang, the Ideal King of Ram Theory

Don't look at Xu Pingjun's direct outburst, even beating the two emperors, and disposing of their favored ministers, but the emperors of the Han Dynasty have no complaints at all, not only them, but even the ministers have no complaints.

Because women in the royal family were like this in the pre-Qin and Han dynasties, even Liu Qi, the real emperor, didn't dare to refute when his mother wanted to kill his minister Yuan Gusheng, but just secretly handed over a sword. .

Not only that, but even when Shangguan Empress Dowager abolished Liu He, she just said a word. Anyway, the power of the empress dowager in this period was greater than that of the emperor, even the emperor with real power.

Although Xu Pingjun is only Liu Xun's queen now, she will be a real empress dowager and empress dowager regardless of her youth, and no one dares to speak out when dealing with some ministers and relatives.

After the big man dealt with Wang Zhengjun, Zhuo Qun and the others also went to test Wang Mang for the first time, and asked him a lot of things about future generations and time travel.

And most of them are things from the last century, because who made everyone say that Wang Mang was the first time traveler who crossed in a special period, so everyone started asking about it from the founding period.

As a result, Wang Mang didn't get a word right. Everyone believed that Wang Mang was a new century traveler who just concealed his identity, so everyone directly used violence to make Wang Mang dizzy, and then brought him to the main world to start. A brute force attack on the contents of his brain.

Then everyone knew that Wang Mang was not a time traveler, but a Confucian master. This man was cultivated by the Gongyang School of Confucianism with the last knowledge, and he was a character cultivated by the ancient kings.

Because ever since the Gongyang School came to power during Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, the entire school has inflated like blowing a balloon. Not only did they inflate, but they also absorbed a lot of other theories during the process of expansion. One thing, that is a return to the rule of three generations.

Of course, this was not their vision at the beginning. They wanted to become the most prominent school at the initial stage of starvation. Confucianism had joined the Han Dynasty since the time of Emperor Gaozu of the Han Dynasty.

Li Shiqi was a representative of the first generation of Confucianism, and he was doing very well under Gaozu, but because of the political strife of other schools, he was killed by Qi Wang Tianguang and Qi Xiangtian Heng, and then because of Lu Ru's coquettish The operation was almost killed by the collective.

Then they took a lot of effort to photograph Yuan Gusheng beside Liu Qi, but Yuan Gusheng's mouth was cheap, if Liu Qi hadn't given him a sword, this one would have been killed by Queen Dowager Dou.

The subsequent Jianyuan New Deal was also created by Confucianism. In the end, it was Dong Zhongshu who brought the Gongyang faction's theory of great revenge and unification, and successfully attracted Liu Che, making himself the national thought of a big man. After Liu Che's death, the Gongyang faction Pi let himself go.Huo Guang is one of their representatives.

Because the Gongyang faction has a saying, that is, Jingquan, that is, when the emperor cannot perform his duties, the princes can perform their duties on his behalf. This is what Duke Huan of Qi and Duke Wen of Jin said about respecting the king and fighting barbarians, and this is what Huo Guang did.

But later, they felt that instead of playing with the power to respect the king and fight against the barbarians, it would be better to launch their ideal king directly, but they didn't have this idea when Huo Guang was in charge.

However, Liu Xun dealt a great blow to the Gongyang faction during his ruling career after he came to power, and he also wanted to abolish Confucianism. If Liu Heng hadn't inherited the orthodoxy of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, he would have really done so.

However, Emperor Han and Yuan preferred people of the Guliang School because they paid attention to righteousness, respected royal power, and talked about "respect" and "junde", which was more in line with Liu Shi's wishes, so a large number of Guliang School people in this period Appeared.

Even though they are both Confucianism, Guliang and Gongyang have almost the opposite philosophy. One side is strong and the other is weak. Before Gongyang was too strong, but now that it has weakened for a while, it is unbearable, so they just Just like pushing out Huo Guang, you are pushing out a person, and this person is Wang Mang.

As for why Wang Mang was chosen, the reason is very simple because Wang Mang is the only outstanding figure among the descendants of the Queen Mother Wang Zhengjun's family, that is, the most promising relative of the Han Dynasty.

Because filial piety plays a very important role in the politics of the big man, the power of the queen mother is extremely heavy, so the family members of the queen mother can easily sit in high positions, and it is the kind that can sit in high positions even if they have no credit. There will be any objections, so choosing a relative is choosing a simple model.

But this time the Ram faction doesn't want to be in power anymore, or the boss that the Ram faction has cultivated with all its efforts.

Yes, Wang Mang is not the leader of the Gongyang faction like Huo Guang, but the leader of the theory of the Gongyang faction, that is, Dong Zhongshu's position at the beginning, and he really said the same thing within the Gongyang faction.

He doesn't want to go through power anymore, he wants to restore the rule of the three generations in ancient times, become an ideal king, establish an ideal country that completely belongs to Confucianism, and become a "previous king", the kind of former king that Confucius wanted to follow!
The future of this guy is successful, because of the Western Han royal family's own brain damage and Wang Mang's ability to cheat, as well as Wang Mang's humility and Tian Chen's method of usurping Qi, he successfully made himself Wang Tian Chen, once again in Han Dynasty. Chao successfully bought the world.

Well, the ancestor of Wang Mang was the Tian family who usurped Qi. When the Tian family was destroyed, some of them ran back to Yingchuan and changed themselves back to the Chen surname, and some changed themselves to the Wang surname. Wang Mang is the expenditure here.

Therefore, it is said that Tian Chen usurps Qi's big fights out of small fights, and the method of buying righteousness from the market is an ancestral craft in other people's families. In addition, Confucians all over the world are so interested in creating an ideal king, so Wang Mang It worked.

As for why Wang Mang made a vernier caliper, it was because this thing already existed in the Warring States Period, and it was just a secret of the Mohist school. The Qin State was able to play a standardized production because it had standard measuring tools, and the vernier caliper was just one of them. .

Also, the reason why Wang Mang hated serfdom was very simple, because serfdom was not a three-generation regime. During the three generations, the slaves were defeated foreigners, not their own clan, so Wang Mang banned serfdom.

And Wang Mang's state-owned land system prohibits private buying and selling of land, which is also related to the governance of the three generations, because in the feudal period land was not allowed to be bought and sold, and the well field system meant that land could not be bought and sold, and Wang Mang's state-owned land system was complex well fields.

In short, all Wang Mang's actions are for the sake of the former king, and then become the former king.

This point has to be said to be very in line with the ideal king that the Gongyang faction wants to create, so in the early days of Wang Mang's administration, Wang Mang seemed to be on the hook, and every step was completed while being praised by all people, even his To usurp the Han is also what all the people in the world expect.

Then Wang Mangfa restored the kingly way of the three generations of kings, letting everyone know that this is a lunatic, and then all the families and schools in the world (these two seem to be the same in the pre-Qin period, every family is handed down by the scholars, all It can be said that my family is a school.) They are all reversed.

They allowed Wang Mang to usurp the Han and establish himself as the king, but they did not allow the Utopia of the Gongyang School to appear, because once the Utopia appeared, other schools might be labeled as fake schools.

So the orthodox government began.

The Gongyang faction exerted all their energy, made a final struggle, and was directly disabled, but they still abandoned their boss Wang Mang at the last moment, and took refuge in Liu Xiu, and then became the leader again in the Eastern Han Dynasty. official school.
