Wang Mang's those things - killing children

If the emperor with the most children in China is selected, Wang Mang will not be ranked; but if the emperor who kills the most children is selected, then Wang Mang and Tang Xuanzong are tied for first, both three.

The first unlucky child was the second son, Wang Yue.

In 6 BC, Wang Mang was laid off in Nanyang and unemployed. The second son, Wang Yue, did not know why, killed a slave of the family. In the Western Han Dynasty, this was not a big deal. Although the slave has a little personal rights, she is also a little stronger than the cow and horse. The master was required to report to the government before killing the slave; if he did not report it, he would be punished, but lightly. But Wang Mang's reaction was unexpected, and he ordered Wang to commit suicide to atone for his sins.

For thousands of years, this matter has been controversial. Some people think that Wang Mang is selling his reputation, sacrificing his son, and fulfilling himself; some people believe that this is evidence of Wang Mang's crossing from modern times to the Han Dynasty, and is a model for pursuing equality before the law.

The second unlucky child was the eldest son, Wang Yu.

In 1 BC, the Han Emperor died of illness, and Wang Mang took the throne as Liu Yan, the King of Zhongshan, as Emperor Ping of Han. In view of the han emperor's exclusion of his own historical lessons, Wang Mang demanded that none of Emperor Hanping's foreign relatives should enter the dynasty. At that time, the Hanping Emperor was only 8 years old, belonging to child labor, and the family missed it very much, especially Emperor Ping's mother, Wei Hou, who 'cried day and night'.

Some people can't see it, including the eldest son Wang Yu. There is something to say, at best, wang mang reprimanded. Wang Yu did not, he consulted his brother-in-law Lü Kuan and Lü Kuan's teacher Wu Zhang. The way Wu Zhang came up with was to let Lü Kuan sprinkle dog blood on the gate of Wang Mang's mansion at night! As a result, Lü Kuan was arrested.

When Wang Mang found out, he was furious and once again killed Wang Yu and Wang Yu's wife. At that time, Wang Yu's wife was pregnant, and Wang Mang also showed his flexible side: execution after giving birth to a child!

The three wizards did read the book into the belly of the dog. No wonder some bizarre film and television dramas are now called 'dog blood plots', it turns out that this thing can really kill people!

The third unlucky child was the sixth son, Wang Lin.

Wang Lin and his mother's maid, Yuan Bi, were also infected, while Yuan Bi and Wang Mang were also infected. Wang Lin, fearing that the matter would be revealed, secretly murdered Wang Mang with Yuan Bi and his wife. Still in the process of planning, Wang Lin was expelled from the Beijing Division by Wang Mang and planned to abort.

In 21 AD, Wang Lin's mother died. Dissatisfied with Wang Lin, Wang Mang forbade Wang Lin to go to Jingshi to mourn. After burying his wife, He immediately detained Yuan Bi and tortured her! Yuan Bi confessed to their plan to kill Mang. Wang Mang sent someone to deliver poison to Wang Lin, ordering him to take the medicine to commit suicide, but Wang Lin refused and stabbed himself to death. Wang Lin's wife was also forced to commit suicide.

The most dangerous profession in the world, the probability of death is single digits, not more than 10%, and Wang Mang's six sons, the probability of being killed is 50%, so it is better to be a son to Wang Mang than to be a miner, at least it is much safer!
