The ancient city of Chang'an was not the original Han Chudu.
After the ancestor of Han Gao, Liu Bang, killed Xiang Yu, the Overlord of Chu, he began to build the capital Luoyang.
Qi Lou presented a letter to Liu Bang and advised him to move the capital to Chang'an.
It was said that Chang'an was the first city of Chang'an and was prosperous.
Chang'an belonged to San Qin.
It had a strong and fertile fortress and was known as Tianfu.
However, Chang'an, the capital of the Tang Dynasty, was guarded by dangers and guarded by the inside.
Liu Bang wanted to wait for Zhang Liang to move to Chang'an with respect, so he took Chang'an as the capital.
After nearly two hundred years of renovation and repair, Chang'an had become a large city with high walls, crisscrossed streets, prosperous merchants, and a magnificent atmosphere.
The Forbidden City of the Imperial Palace was tall and majestic, solemn and sacred.
From a distance, one could see green walls and yellow tiles, hidden green willow flowers, Han Dynasty, Qin Dynasty's water was black, so Han Palace took the yellow tiles as the top, and took the earth as the water.
At this time, in the royal court of the Imperial Palace, on the central dragon throne sat a teenager.
He wore a five-clawed dragon robe, a flat crown on his head and a pale face.
This was the present-day big man Liu Yan, the Son of Heaven, the Hanping Emperor.
A cauldron was placed on both sides of the Dragon Scale.
The smoke was floating in the cauldron, giving off a faint and solemn aroma.
The officials stood on either side with their heads lowered.
There was a large chair on the left side of the chair and there was a person sitting on it.
The person's face was as beautiful as jade, dark as paint, and his eyes were as cold as the stars.
He looked awe-inspiring.
He sat upright on the chair.
He was Duke Anhan, the Prime Minister, and Wang Mang, who was second only to one person, above ten thousand people.
He was extremely powerful and had the power to call himself Mr Zhou.
Zhou.
Except for this man, none of the civil and military officials had such honor in front of the Emperor.
Although Liu Yan hated him in his heart, he did not dare to show his unwillingness.
Instead, he concentrated on listening to Wang Mang talk.
Wang Mang said, "Sima Dong Xian is the emperor of the country, but he doesn't want to serve the court and is loyal to our country.
Instead, he is arrogant and arbitrary relying on the achievements of the country.
He acts arbitrarily, harming the loyalty of the country and the people.
It is hard to record the crime that has started.
All the officials are together.
I would like to ask you to kill this advisor so that the government can keep peace and the country stable!" The emperor nodded.
"The prime minister is absolutely right.
If we don't get rid of this traitor, the country will be in turmoil.
However, how will the imperial consorts be accountable for this?
Furthermore, this traitor has been in charge of the court for many years and has many followers.
There are many intertwined roots in it, and it's inevitable that there are people in his line of work who hold great military power.
If there's anyone with ulterior motives, they'll bring disaster upon themselves.
Who will dare to bear the responsibility then?" Wang Mang laughed heartily and said, "There's no need to explain.
I'll take the responsibility!" He immediately stood up and turned around, shouting in a deep voice, "Vice-Officer, where are you?
Take Dong Xian down and execute him.
Raise his head and meet him in the court!" Before he finished his words, two guards with knives had already walked out from the corner of the hall.
They took out a man from the row of officials on the left, took off his high hat, pulled off his court uniform, and dragged him out of the hall, one on the left and one on the right.
The man cried out in pain, "Please forgive me, Your Majesty.
I admit my crime!" Wang Mang waved his hand and said, "If you've known this would happen, why did you do that?" A blood-curdling scream was heard.
And moments later, two guards carried a bloody head up to them with a wooden plate.
The head was opened wide with a horrified look.
It was Dong Xian.
Wang Mang waved his hand and sighed.
"Let's go," he added, "A decree has been issued by the imperial edict, saying, 'Sima Dong Xian, indulge in misdeeds and wreak havoc on the people.
He's now dead.
His family property has been lost to the officials.
He belongs to three generations of Yi.
In addition, Princesses Ding, Princess Fu, dare to disobey the imperial order, collude with the officials, and smear the imperial court with poison.
Today, you shall deprive him of his title and give him Bai Shan.
Imperial decree!" After the death of Liu Bang at the beginning of Han Dynasty, Queen Lyu specialized in power, which led to the demise of the royal family named Liu.
Later, Zhou Bo, Grand Preceptor and Situ Chenping had started a rebellion.
They had executed the various servants and ascended the throne to take Wang Qi's place.
They were called Emperor Zongwen.
Emperor Wen's edict said that because of the chaos of the descendants, the imperial harem was not to interfere with court matters.
Those who violated it would be sentenced to death!
There was nothing wrong with the charge of consort Fu and Ding at this time.
At this time, the imperial edict had been drawn.
Wang Mang took it and looked at it, saying, "Your Majesty, please use the seal." He strode up without waiting for the emperor's reply.
He picked up the jade seal on the long table and looked at the yellow silk covered with black words.
The officials knelt on the ground and cried in unison, "Your Majesty is wise.
Your Excellency, I'm wise!" Wang Mang smiled and turned to the Emperor of Ping.
"Your Majesty, retreat!" The Emperor of Ping waved his long sleeves and said, "Retreat!" It was the second day when the people in Chang'an City heard that Dong Xian's family had been exterminated and Consort Dowager committed suicide.
Every household was decorated with lanterns and colored banners and drums, as if the festival was coming.
Everyone said that the Emperor was wise, and Dong Xian's evil was rewarded with evil.
He deserved to die.
When Dong Xian was in court, his sons and nephews ran amok in Chang'an City.
When they saw beautiful women, they would rob them to have fun, whether they had gotten married or not.
They would buy or sell them by force, extort and traffic, and even kill or set fire to crime.
They would commit all kinds of crimes.
People in the city were severely harmed and report to the public.
They dared to be angry but dared not speak.
When they heard the news, they all said that God had eyes for them.
Han Cheng's business at a restaurant on South Street was particularly good today.
It turned out that he was just a butcher who sold meat for a living.
After a lot of efforts from the couple, he just ordered a restaurant to open.
Now he was already the well-known big boss of Chang'an City.
His wife Xiaocui was in charge of the chef, while Han Cheng was the head cook.
Han Cheng also invited a few people to run errands in the hall.
Han Xiaohu was nowhere to be found.
Xiao Cuiyuan was a maid in Wang Cang's residence.
After that, Wang Cang was the one who made the decision.
He removed her name of a servant and made her a slave to Han Cheng.
Xiao Cui had been cooking well ever since she was a child.
The restaurant's business was booming, and Xiao Cui had earned the greatest credit for it.
The couple sometimes chatted in the middle of the night, and Big Brother Wang Cang was as kind as a mountain.
Without Big Brother Wang Cang, they would not have had the fortune they had today.
At this time, Han Xiaohu was practicing boxing in a forest outside the city.
There was a man next to him, watching Han Xiaohu pacing and throwing his fists like the wind.
The man was wearing a gray shirt, tall and thin, long and long-developing eyebrows, and had a leopard head and a tiger head.
When his eyes opened and closed, there was a bright flash in them.
He was leaning against a crooked tree with an indifferent expression.
Han Xiaohu was sweating profusely.
His footsteps were like a swimming dragon, as if his feet were not touching the ground.
His punches were both hard and soft, but they were actually fast.
He had the style of a well-known martial artist.
With a loud shout, he threw out his fist, and a tree the size of a bowl had broken down.
"Bang", it fell to the ground, and dust flew.
Han Xiaohu withdrew his fist and straightened his waist, and his Qi returned to his dantian.
He asked, "Master, look, have I finished this fist position?" The man in the gray robe said, "Practice it?
How could it be easy!
It took me 15 years to master 36 Heaven List Fist Methods with great momentum and profoundness.
You have only learned it for less than 10 years!" Han Xiaohu couldn't help but lower his head and feel discouraged.
He said in grey, "But with your current achievement, it's not too bad.
You can practice the Earth Evil Axe Technique once." Han Xiaohu replied and walked under the tree to pick up a pair of axes.
He saluted the man in grey and then walked to an empty area in the forest.
One of his axes pointed to the sky, the other to the ground.
His Qi was as dense as a mountain, and he stood as still as a mountain.
At this moment, the wind was blowing in the forest, and the grass was filled with sorrow.
Suddenly, he let out a loud shout and moved his axes away from his hands.
Han Xiaohu's fingers were half-closed, and his wrists were slightly trembling.
The axes were spinning at a high speed around him.
They were controlling the axes with Qi.

Then he roared, "Break!" The two beams of cold light were as fast as lightning and as fast as shooting stars.
Wherever the cold light flashed, more than a dozen trees were cut off at the same time.
Then the two axes flew back to his hands.
Han Xiaohu's face was as red as blood, and he was sweating profusely.
He gasped for breath and looked extremely tired.
The gray-clad man's eyes were full of praise, and he said with a smile, "Yes, you've already got the detailed framework of the 72 Style Earthly Fiend Axe Technique.
In the future, you still need to practice hard.
Your internal strength is not enough, so you can't use it forcibly, otherwise, your body will be damaged.
Well, it's getting late.
You should go back.
Come again at this time tomorrow!" Han Xiaohu bowed and said, "Yes, Master." When he looked up, he found that the gray-clad man had already disappeared.
Han Xiaohu shook his head helplessly and turned to leave.
Duke Anhan's estate was on the western streets, only several hundred steps away from the Imperial Palace.
The mansion was majestic with red walls and green stairs, which made it look more magnificent.
The back of the gate faced south, and there was a stone lion on each side.
They were nearly three meters high, with threatening gestures.
Their momentum was extraordinary.
There were a few large sedan chairs parked at the entrance, with several large horses being taken care of by a few manservants.
After walking more than ten steps into the entrance, a wall made of marble appeared.
There was a painting of Mr.
Zhou's F painted on it.
The two words on the wall were,Mr.
Zhou's feeding and home-to-earth feeding.
It was said that the previous Emperor, Han Bei, had personally given it to Wang Mang as a gift.
The main hall was next to the screen wall.
The main hall was very large, and even compared to Wei Yang Palace's Hall of Imperial Capital, it wasn't much inferior.
There was a man sitting at the head of the hall.
It was Wang Mang.
The dozen or so people sitting on both sides were the famous court officials.
Except for Dong Xian and Sima, all the rest of the people had arrived.
Judging from the lineup, it seemed that they were from another small court.
The farmer Kongguang said, "Master Prime Minister, now Dong Xian has been killed and the imperial harem has been settled.
All the people in the world are excited.
They all call you Prime Minister An Han, who is the current emperor and the next emperor Zhou.
Now you are in a low position and the people's livelihood is declining.
I wonder if Master Prime Minister has a good plan to help the people and support the strong men?" Wang Mang laughed upon hearing this.
"Yiyin and Duke Zhou are both great sages of the past.
How would I dare to accept such a treatment?
However, it's hard to return from the current state's political affairs.
We government officials don't have the ambition to rule the state and fear death in the state.
We don't have enough money and food to feed ourselves in our government, and there are crime minions outside our country waiting for us.
It can be said that both internal and external problems are at stake, and danger is lurking in all directions!" After a pause, he said, "Nowadays, only by accepting all talents and carrying out a new policy can we cross this difficult stage.
At that time, I hope that all of you will spare no effort to be in company with us." Everyone bowed together and said, "How dare you!" Situ Magong said, "Last night, in the golden palace, Lord Prime Minister was very strict and killed all the traitors and villains.
There were a lot of civil and military officials in the imperial court.
Everyone admired and praised him.
However, the emperor was unhappy.
It seemed that he was dissatisfied with you.
The implementation of the new system is imperative now, and it is not our blessing to be suspected by you at this time!" At this moment, Sikong Zhenfeng smiled and said, "I have a timely plan that can keep everyone safe for the time being.
I only need Your Excellency Prime Minister Heng's permission." Wang Mang said, "What good idea do you have, Your Excellency Sikong?
Tell me about it." Zhen Fengdao said, "His Majesty hasn't gotten married yet.
I've heard that Duke An Han has a beautiful and intelligent daughter and can take charge of the harem and the nation.
As long as Lord Prime Heng agrees and report this to the Empress Dowager, this matter will definitely succeed.
This way, we can reassure His Majesty and seal the mouths of the world.
When the time is ripe, we can come up with a plan.
When that time comes, it won't be up to His Majesty to decide." Everyone was shocked and said that it was a brilliant idea.
Wang Mang nodded again and again.
He stood up at once and shouted, "Come on, let's set up the Changxin Palace!
I want to see the Empress Dowager." Empress Dowager Wang Zheng, the Empress Dowager, was the mother of Emperor Yuan, and also Wang Mang's aunt.
She lived in the Changxin Palace in the palace.
Wang Mang met Empress Dowager and made a plan, and all Empress Dowager agreed.
On the next day, all the civil and military officials reported that the daughter of Anman was both virtuous and talented and could be the Empress.
The Emperor, Liu Yan, also met Wang Mang's daughter in person and was very satisfied.
Therefore, he announced an edict to select a auspicious day to hold the wedding.
In the fifth year of the Primeval and the second month of spring, all the officials of the court came to the mansion of the An Kingdom to greet the Empress.
For a while, tens of thousands of people in Chang'an City were in an empty alley and there was a hubbub.
How could ordinary people see such a scene?
They only felt that the scene was dazzling and extremely prosperous.
The Hans also squeezed their way through the crowd and looked up, sighing.
From then on, Wang Mang had earned the title of father-in-law and was even able to control the whole country.
The country of the Han Empire was already within his grasp.
Wang Mang would draw the people over to his side and do his best.
He would also do his best to please the Empress Dowager.
With the help of the Empress Dowager, Wang Mang sighed.
"Even though Wang Mang is my nephew, he still acts respectfully and filially.
Even my own son is nothing more than this." He listened to Wang Mang's advice and cared for him even more.
After a few months, the Lord of Ping was already fifteen years old, and his knowledge of the world was beginning to see the light.
Thinking back to what Wang Mang had done a few years ago, he felt indignant at the fact that he had pushed the new country forward by force.
This had caused widespread unrest; the civil and military officials of the entire court only echoed what Wang Mang had done to them, which made him an imperial failure and glorified his evil ambitions even more.
Therefore, when he saw Wang Mang several times, he could not help but look angry and his words agitated; he also spat out some complaint behind the scenes, scolding the Empress.
He had never thought that most eunuchs in the palace were watched by Wang Mang.
Of course, someone would report it.
He was to blame for Liu Yan's youth and lack of knowledge, which made him want to kill, and he wanted to give up his work.
On the twelfth lunar month, the new year was coming, and the imperial family would hold a big banquet for the ministers as usual.
Wang Mang had secretly talked about the confidants in advance.
He poisoned the imperial concubines in the palace and made a mark.
In the banquet, the wine glasses were interlaced and laughter was continuous.
The king and the ministers were harmonious, forming a peaceful atmosphere.
Wang Mang gave a look, and then a eunuch came forward and reported, "Minister of Duke An, Prime Minister Wang, led hundreds of officials to present a cup of pepper wine to the emperor, we wish him a long-lasting and strong man!" As he said this, he presented a cup of wine on the tray.
Liu Yan did not suspect anything.
He picked up his wine glass and drank it up.
When the ministers saw this, they all left their seats and knelt down, shouting "Long Live His Majesty".
After the banquet, Liu Yan returned to the temporary imperial residence.
In the evening, he suddenly felt as if his stomach was being twisted by a knife and cold sweat dripped down his forehead.
When the Empress saw this, she called the imperial physician.
The palace was in a mess for a while.
The next day, when Wang Mang and the other ministers received the letter, they went into the palace to check on Liu Yan.
Seeing that Liu Yan's face was pale and his breathing was weak, they all sighed in their hearts.
After a few days, news came from the palace saying that the emperor had passed away.
The Empress Dowager issued an imperial edict, took back the jade seal and announced it to the world.
The whole country was in an uproar at the moment.
The Emperor of Ping, Liu Yan, had no son.
With Wang Mang's hammer, Liu Ying, a two-year-old child of Emperor Xuanzong, became the Emperor.
The history was called "The Baby-headed baby".
Wang Mang was supported by his aunt, the Empress Dowager, and his daughter.
Coupled with the recommendation of hundreds of court officials, he was given the title of "False Emperor" and acted on behalf of the Emperor.
In fact, he was exactly the same as the real Emperor.
In the past, when the Emperor of Ping was still alive, there was still a constraint in carrying out the new policy.
Now that the time was ripe, Wang Mang gave the order and the entire country was busy preparing for it.
At this time, the northern Xiongnu slaves were ready to take action; the barbarians in the northeastern and southwest regions were also plundering at the border, killing and setting fire frequently; the big men in Haiqu County of Langya County, there were thousands of rebels who claimed to be the mother of Lyu, killed officials and took over the city, opened warehouses to provide for the people.
The locals rushed to Chang'an, and people were panic-stricken for a while.
Wang Mang was also extremely busy.
He deployed troops everywhere to quell the rebellion.
When the world was about to fall into chaos, beacons of war were lit everywhere, and under the new government, it was even more difficult for the people to live.
The reason was not that the new government was not good.
It was just that officials were corrupt and corrupt.
Coupled with the lack of manpower, the court was even more corrupt.
The country was already in a precarious state.
