Wang Mang, an emperor in Chinese history, pioneered the usurpation of the country and was criticized for it. He ended the Western Han Dynasty and established a new dynasty. Wang Mang really lived up to the "new" word of this country, after he founded the country, he frequently introduced new policies, some of which were extremely advanced, even similar to the socialist system, this discovery made many people can't help but think that this Wang Mang was a modern person who traveled to ancient times, and only then did such ahead of the situation appear. In particular, some of Wang Mang's inventions are also amazing, the most classic of which is the "vernier caliper" he invented, so that the appearance of objects makes people more convinced that Wang Mang is a crosser.
Of course, there is no conclusive evidence of the crossing, but there is some speculation about the unexplainable. In fact, Wang Mang's policy has advanced policies, and there are also many antique policies, Wang Mang has a good wish in his heart to restore the dynasty at that time to the collapse of Li Le, he wants to return to the Zhou Dynasty, and he is "Zhou Tianzi".
Although Wang Mang was suspected of being a crosser, he was not a figure who jumped out of thin air, he was a person who really existed in the Western Han Dynasty, and the family environment was not bad, in official terms he was a foreign relative of the royal family, in the words of our common people, he was the eldest nephew of Empress Xiaoyuan Wang Zhengjun at that time.
Wang Mang's old Wang family, that is the family of the power of the opposition, as a family of foreign relatives with great power, has produced 5 grand simas and 9 people to be marquises, such a family naturally no one dares to provoke in the dynasty, so the people of this family are also nostrils to the sky, and it is not an exaggeration to say that they are bullish and soaring.
Although the old Wang family is prominent, but Wang Mang is a little different, his father Wang Man and his brother Wang Yong died early when he was a child, he has no top pillar in this vein, there is only one child, naturally can not become a big climate, can only live with his uncles. Although they are all real relatives, the life under the fence is actually not good, but Wang Mang never complains, he honestly does what he should do every day, and never says much.
Wang Mang is different from the other sons of the Wang family, he never spends money indiscriminately, nor pays attention to pomp and circumstance, his behavior has become an outlier of the Wang family, although there is no more detailed record of his life in the zhengshi, but as an outlier, he will inevitably be ridiculed and despised by the children of relatives and friends of the same ethnic group, which is very similar to the plot of many novels.
Wang Mang worshiped Chen Shan of Pei County as a teacher, often studied the Book of Rites, and in addition to studying hard, Wang Mang took good care of his mother and widowed sister-in-law and the sons of his brother's family, and took excellent care of them. In such a family as the Wang family, a boy who is erudite and has a visible filial piety is naturally particularly conspicuous, and also makes some big figures in the Wang family look at Wang Mang differently.
Wang Feng was ill, Wang Mang came to serve this uncle, respected wang Feng who was seriously ill, and took care of him even more meticulously, during the period of taking care of Wang Feng, Wang Mang really did his job, better than his son's service. Day and night accompaniment, washing face and feeding medicine naturally do not need to say more, Wang Mang even when Wang Feng's side to serve, day and night guard, clothes do not take off, just for a moment do not leave Wang Feng's side, unkempt face does not matter, and even once tested the medicine for Wang Feng personally.
"In Yangshuo, the great general of the world, Feng Feng, was ill, was ill, tasted medicine, messed up his face, and undressed for months." —— "Zizhi Tongjian"
Wang Feng, who already had some liking for Wang Mang, coupled with this "suffering to see the truth", Wang Feng identified Wang Mang as a person, and Wang Mang also gained Wang Feng's trust and was recommended by Wang Feng, and Empress Xiaoyuan Wang Zhengjun and the emperor naturally wanted to listen, so Wang Mang began his path of development from then on, worshiping Huang Menlang and moving to the sound of the lieutenant.
Later, Wang Mang, with the support of Empress Xiaoyuan Wang Zhengjun, became the new Grand Sima (大司馬), but what Empress Xiaoyuan Wang Zhengjun did not expect was that his eldest nephew was not a fuel-saving lamp, and when Wang Mang became the Grand Sima (大司馬), even if he had the virtue of being young and half a minute before.
However, Wang Mang's merits and deeds are not black and white, and the records of Wang Mang in the canonical history, especially the records of the Book of Han, will inevitably be biased. After all, Wang Mang usurped the Han Dynasty, and after the end of his new dynasty, the Han Dynasty continued to live, so that the historical pen's record of Wang Mang naturally did not show mercy, and it was already good not to reverse black and white. As for the real Wang Mang, his merits can only be left to posterity!
