In the beginning, Wang Mang usurped the throne, and Chang'an Zhong, or the self-proclaimed emperor's son, Mang killed him. Lang Yuan is a false name for the true son of the public opinion, Yun "mother became the emperor of the emperor, tasted the palace zombie, must have yellow qi from top to bottom, half a day is the solution, so the pregnant body is in the museum." Empress Zhao wanted to harm him, and falsely changed the son of others, so as to get it complete. In the twelfth year of the ziyou, Li Manqing, the one who knew the fate, went to Shu; seventeen, to Danyang; twenty, also Chang'an; and turned to Zhongshan, to and from Yan and Zhao, to the time of the heavens." Lin and others became more and more confused, but they conspired with Li Yu and Zhang Shan, the great heroes of the Zhao State, and lied lang together. The people of the meeting spread that the red eyebrows will be duhe, And Lin and others therefore declare that the red eyebrows should be the best, and Liu Zi will be the heart of the audience, and the people will believe in it. In December of the first year of the first year, Lin and others led hundreds of chariots to enter Handan City in the morning, stopping at the palace, and Establishing Lang as the Son of Heaven. Lin was the chancellor, Li Yu was the Grand Sima and Zhang Shan was the Great General. Dispatch the generals, and leave the shadows and hopes. Shifting prefecture to the county: "The Imperial Household Department Assassination History, the County Taishou: 朕, Emperor Xiaocheng's son Zi Youyi also." In the past, he was killed by the Zhao clan, because Wang Mang usurped and killed, Lai Zhi's men would protect the fallen, dissolve the riverside, and cut Zhao and Wei. Wang Mang stole the throne, was convicted of the crime, and the mandate of heaven blessed Han, so he made Dong Commandery Taishou Zhai Yi and Liu Xin the Marquis of Yanxiang support the army to requisition and enter hu and Han. The whole world leads the earth, and the knowledge is hidden in the human world. Nanyue Zhu liu, its pioneer. Looking up at the astronomy, Nai Xing Yu Si, with this month's nongchen to take the throne of zhao palace. Fumigation is resting, and it rains when the time comes. Gaiwen is a country, and the son inherits the father, which is not easy in ancient and modern times. Liu Shenggong did not know the decay, so he held the imperial title. All the righteous soldiers, Xian to help the fallen, should be divided into the land to enjoy the descendants. He has commanded the Holy Father and Zhai Taishou to do what they do with the heroes. The history of doubt and the two thousand stones are all placed by the Holy Father, and they have not seen the stagnation of the fallen, or they have not known it, and the strong are negative, and the weak are confused. Now that the Yuan Yuan has created the eelecta, it has been more than halfway through, and it is very mournful, so it sent emissaries to issue an edict. "Lang thinks of the people as a han, and since zhai yi does not die, he calls it so that he can look up to the people." Therefore, the north of the Zhao Kingdom and the west of the Liaodong Province were all swept away from the wind.

Wang Chang was a Wang Lang, a native of Handan, zhao. Originally a divination and photo-watching person, he had some research on astronomical calendars, and often thought that Hebei had Tianzi qi. At this time, Liu Lin, the son of King Miao of Zhao, loved magic numbers, and Ren Xia acted righteously among Zhao Wei, and had many connections with powerful and lawbreakers, and Wang Chang was close to him. At first, when Wang Mang usurped the throne, there were people in Chang'an who claimed to be Liu Ziyu, the son of Emperor Cheng, and Wang Mang killed him. Wang Lang falsely claimed to be Zhenzi Youyu because of this clue, saying: "My mother was originally a singer of Emperor Cheng, and once when she went down to the temple, she suddenly fell down, and soon a yellow gas passed from top to bottom, and it took half a day before she woke up, so she became pregnant and lived in the pavilion, and after giving birth to a child, Zhao Hou wanted to murder her, so she exchanged him for someone else's baby, thus saving his life." When Ziyu was twelve, a man named Li Manqing brought him to Shuzhong; at the age of seventeen, he arrived in Danyang; at the age of twenty, he returned to Chang'an; and he traveled back and forth between Zhongshan and Yanzhao to await the arrival of the heavens. Liu Lin and others were even more confused, so they conspired with Li Yu and Zhang Shan, the great tycoons of the Zhao Kingdom, to jointly plan to support Wang Lang. Just when people said that Chimei would cross the Yellow River, Liu Lin and others declared that Chimei should be the first, and Liu Ziyi was set up to see the reaction of the people, and the people believed more. In December of the first year (23), Liu Lin and others led hundreds of bicycles to enter Handan City early in the morning, stopped at the palace, and established Wang Lang as the Son of Heaven. Liu Lin was the Chancellor, Li Yu was the Grand Sima and Zhang Shan was the Great General. Sent generals to capture Youzhou and Jizhou respectively. Transferring the text to the prefectures and counties, he said: "The edict orders the states to assassinate shi and the county taishou: I am Liu Ziyu, the son of Emperor Xiaocheng. In the past, after being plagued by the Zhao clan, Wang Mang usurped the Han and killed the false Ziyu, but fortunately, someone who knew the Mandate of Heaven protected me, and I was able to escape from the riverside and disappear between Zhao and Wei. Wang Mang stole the throne, offended the heavens, and the mandate of heaven blessed me with the Han room, so he sent The Eastern Commandery Taishou Zhai Yi and the Marquis of Yanxiang Liu Xin to support the army to negotiate and enter and exit between the Hu people and the Han people. The whole world, the shore of the land, knows that I am hidden in the world. Zhu Liu of Nanyue is my pioneer. I looked up at the astronomy and knew that Providence wanted me to rise up here, so I took the throne of Zhao Palace on the second day of this month. Auspicious fumigation, rainfall at the right time. I have heard that for those who are the lords of the country, their sons inherit the father's throne, which is an unchangeable legal system in ancient and modern times. Liu Shenggong did not know that I was there, and temporarily became the emperor. They are all helping me, and they should divide the land so that their children and grandchildren can enjoy the blessings. I have ordered the Holy Father and Zhai Taishou to come to me quickly with all the heroes. Some people suspect that the thorn history and the two thousand stones are set up by the Holy Father, and they do not see my stagnation and encounter, some do not know where to go, the strong are proud of their own strength, and the weak are afraid and doubtful. Now that the common people have suffered from the devastation and the casualties are probably more than halfway through, I feel very sad, so I sent emissaries to issue edicts. Wang Lang saw that the people were thinking of the Han Dynasty, and many people said that Zhai Yi was not dead, so he said these lies to obey the people's expectations. Therefore, the north of the Zhao Kingdom and the west of the Liaodong Province were all invincible. The following year, Guangwu received Wang Lang's letter from Jixian County, rushed to Xindu, sent troops to attack The county, and then attacked the Bai people, but did not capture it. The people who were talking about it thought that it was better to besiege the Bai people than to pacify the giant deer, so Guangwu led troops to the northeast to besiege the giant deer. Wang Lang tai defended Wang Rao's stronghold and attacked for dozens of days without conquering. Geng Chun suggested: "After a long siege of Wang Rao, the soldiers are tired, it is better to attack Handan with elite soldiers." If Wang Lang is killed, Wang Rao can surrender without a fight. Guangwu thought that this was a very good plan, so he left the general Deng Manwei Julu and led a large army to attack Handan, and tun troops at the north gate of Chengguo. Wang Lang failed several times to send troops, so he sent his advisor Dewey to surrender to Guangwu with a rune. Dewey pretended that Wang Lang was actually the biological son of Emperor Cheng. Guangwu said, "Even if Emperor Cheng is reborn, the whole world will not be able to attain it, let alone a person who pretends to be a son of public opinion!" Dewey requested that he be made the Marquis of Ten Thousand Households. Guangwu said, "Just take care of his life." Dewey said: "Although Handan is small, but try its best to stick to it, you can still hold on for a considerable period of time, and you can't always save your life at the rate of the monarch and the courtiers." So he resigned. Guangwu attacked urgently, and for more than twenty days, Wang Lang's young fu Li Li made a counterattack, opened the city gate to meet the Han soldiers, and then attacked Handan. Wang Lang fled by night, embarked on a dead end, and was killed by the pursuing soldiers.
