Chapter 72

The one who raised his head was Prime Minister Di Fangjin's son, Dong County's Governor Diyi.He turned to his nephew Chenfeng and said, "The new dukedom has taken the throne of the Heavenly Prince and ordered all of the world.
The so-called patriarchs and immatures of the sects have relied on Zhou Gongfu's desire to become a king.
Moreover, by observing, they will definitely replace the Han Clan.
This is something that can gradually be seen.
The current patriarch of the Han Clan is weak, and there are no powerful soldiers outside.
If the world bows and obeys, it will not be difficult for the nation.Fortunately, I prepared the prime minister to guard the Great Commandery.
The father and son received the kindness of the Han Dynasty, and it was righteous to be a country to seek for thieves, so that they could live in peace.
If they wanted to raise the army, they would be punished as succubus and would choose the descendants of the clan.
When the order was not set, they would be buried in the kingdom of death, so they would not be ashamed of being the late Emperor."Will you obey me now?"Chenfeng was a young man of eighteen years old.
After hearing Uncle's words, his blood naturally boiled and he agreed.Thus, they worked together with Liuyu, Yan Sui Hou, and Liuxin's younger brother, Liuhuang.
They killed the magistrate of Guan County, summoned troops, and marched westward.Liuxin's son, Liukuang, was at that time the monarch of the Eastern Ping Dynasty.
He had joined forces with the army of the Eastern Ping Dynasty, and he had taken Liuxin as the emperor.
Diyi claimed to be the Grand Minister of War, General Hu Tian.They reported to the other counties and feudal states, "The rash slaughter of Emperor Xiaoping, the Heaven's Snare Prince position, and the Han Clan.
Today, the son has been established, and we will be punished by the heavens together." The various counties and feudal states were shaken.
By the time the army arrived at the mountain sun, there were already more than 100,000 people.This time, I was truly scared.
Although I had also killed quite a few people, I still tried my best to resolve the issue within the system.
Diyi wanted to reshuffle and reshuffle the cards again, which really gave me a headache.However, since they had already fought, there was no other way.
I could only accept the challenge.
What made me feel at ease was that after all, I controlled most of the empire's army.Of course, the people dispatched at this time were reliable.
That was why I ordered a large group of trusted subordinates to lead several groups of people to attack Di Yi.However, the tides had yet to subside.
As soon as the news of Diyi raising his army reached the ears of everyone in the capital city.San Zhaopeng, Huohong, and the others from the Huaili district called themselves generals.
They charged into the local government office and killed the Right Deputy and the county magistrate.
They wanted to attack Chang'an while the capital was empty.I felt a headache coming on.
Thankfully, the army in my hands was still wealthy.
I had even appointed a group of generals to protect the safety of the capital and the imperial palace.Although the army had been set up, to be honest, I felt guilty.
I even began to wonder if I could succeed.
I decided to leave some way out for myself.Every day, I would carry my children to the altars and temples to pray.
The group of ministers announced, "In the past, when I was young, Eunuch Zhou was the ruler of the country.
Uncle Guan and Caishu had betrayed me, and now, Diyi is also holding Liuxin hostage.
Even the Ancient Holy Emperor is afraid of such a thing, let alone an ordinary person like me."Then, I sent a group of people to the entire nation to explain my intention of returning the regime to my children.However, my worries were unfounded.
The army of the Eastbound Expedition had defeated Diyi's army, and they had won the decisive victory in the city.
Diyi had been arrested and his body had been dismembered.The one lacking in beauty was the emperor, Liuxin, whom they had set up.
However, it was no longer a problem.After returning to the capital, the soldiers of the eastbound expedition came to meet up with the soldiers of the capital.
They dealt with Zhaopeng, Huohong, and the other rebel soldiers in twos and threes.This time, it was finally peaceful.Three years in the Absorption period could also be called the beginning of the year.
Everything had already flowed smoothly, and I was getting closer and closer to that position.However, something unexpected happened.
My mother passed away in September.Of course I was sad about my mother's death, but it didn't stop me from advancing toward my goal.However, there were some limits that couldn't be broken through in this empire that valued filial piety as its life.
That was why I tried to reduce the impact of my mother's death on my succession within the time limit allowed by the etiquette.And there was also my older brother's son, Wangguang, who was bending the law in favor of others.
Although he was the child I brought up, he treated him like his own son.He had also won my reputation in the past, but under these circumstances, I wouldn't allow anything to happen.
Wangguang had committed suicide.I once again told everyone that I was impartial and that they should be at ease if they handed the world to me.At that time, I didn't need to make any more arrangements.
All kinds of auspicious things had already appeared.
Of course, I knew that they were all fake.However, I knew that the position I was about to sit on was absolutely correct.
That was enough.I knew that the more I walked, the more careful I had to be.I used these auspicious words to read to the Empress Dowager: "I request that the Absorption for three years be the start of the year.
In the future, when I make a memorial to her and my daughter, Xiaoping Pinghuangdi, I will address you as the fake emperor.
However, when I issue an edict to the world, I will no longer hold you back.
I will promise you that I will raise my son and child emperor well, just like what happened to Duke Zhou.
When he becomes an adult, he will return his authority."Even if my aunt had any objections, she could only approve my memorial and announce it to the world.As soon as Xiangrui's incident was announced to the world, the public's support was finally in place.At this time, the opposition still hadn't given up.
Qianmenlang, Zhangchong, and the others had planned to kidnap Wang Mang and support Chuwang as the emperor.
If they were discovered, they would be executed.When he saw me, he had prepared a bronze cabinet.
There was a second book attached to it: "The Golden Chamber Diagram of the Heavenly Emperor's Xi," "The Crimson Emperor's Xi, Liu Bang, passed on to the Yellow Emperor's Jin Ye.The content of the letter was written that Wang Mang was the true prince, and the Empress Dowager should act according to the will of the heavens.
The painting and the letter stated the eight ministers of Wang Mang, plus two good names, Wangxing and Wangsheng.At the same time, he didn't forget himself and took the chance to put his name in it.
There were 11 people in total, all of them with their official and noble titles written clearly.Gaodi was very good at finding the right time.
He had heard the news of Qi Commandery's New Well and Ba Commandery's Stone Bull incident.
At dusk that day, he dressed in a yellow robe and took the bronze cabinet to Gaodi Sacrificial Temple and handed it over to the servant archer.The final moment had finally arrived.November 25th of the third year.
I went to the Gao Emperor Shrine and received the bronze cabinet.
I put on the emperor's twelve-palace crown and went to meet the Empress Dowager.Then, I returned to the familiar Weiyang Palace and announced to the world that I, Wang Mang, would inherit the throne and establish the new dynasty.
At the same time, I announced that I would change the calendar and the garments of my carriage, and that I would be able to make the new dynasty famous.The "new emperor Wansui" announced to the world that the mountains of officials were roaring like tsunamis:The Han Dynasty no longer existed.As I left Weiyang Palace with a never-before-seen sense of security and satisfaction, I suddenly remembered that I still seemed to be lacking something.It was a seal.Because the Emperor did not inherit the throne, the Emperor's jade seal was still in the hands of Wang Zhengjun.I sent Anyang Yanghouwangshun, who was usually trusted and favored by my aunt, to ask for the jade seal.At this moment, her aunt was truly enraged.
She scolded Wangshun, "You father and son have relied on the Han Dynasty's power to earn several generations of wealth, but not only have you not repaid them, but you've even used the opportunity to seize authority and be merciful.
Such a person doesn't even need to eat his remaining things, so how could the world allow you brothers to live under him?
Moreover, you've decided to become the new emperor of the Han Dynasty, change your calendar, change the colors of your carriages, and change the system.
You should have carved another patriarch of the Han Dynasty and used this patriarch of the dead to obtain it.
I'm the old widow of the Han Dynasty, and I'm going to die sooner or later.
I'm going to bury it with him.""You won't be able to get it in the end!"Most likely, her aunt was really sad, so as she spoke, she cried like an ordinary helpless old man.At that moment, everyone around him started to cry, including Wangshun.After a moment of silence, Wangshun raised his head and asked the Empress Dowager, "We have nothing to say.
But Wangmang must obtain the imperial seal.
Can the Empress Dowager not give it to him in the end?"Hearing this, the Empress Dowager pondered for a long time.
She knew that there was no way to turn things around, so she took out the imperial seal and threw it to the ground.
Then, she scolded Wangshun, "When I die of old age, I'll see how your brothers are exterminated!"I received the national jade seal.
