The shortest dynasty in history, the new emperor Wang Mang, did die in Chang'an. Zizhi Tongjian, 39, Han Dynasty 31: Li Song and Deng Ye led the army to Huayin, while Chang'an soldiers were under the city of Sihui. When The rebel general Li Song and other rebel generals led by Liu Xuan and also involved liu Xiu in Nanyang Wancheng reached Huayin, Shaanxi, the scattered soldiers around Chang'an had already surrounded Chang'an, and Wang Mang could not run at all, and always stayed in Chang'an City.
The new emperor Wang Mang
At this time, Wang Mang, the reform leader with great ambitions and no success, had no soldiers to use, released the prisoners in the city, distributed weapons, and swore to them: There are those who are not in the new room, and the ghosts of the society will remember them. The power was used to threaten these outlaws, but it backfired and they soon fled. These soldiers, represented by the large households around Chang'an, planed the tomb of Wang Mang's ancestors, burned the temple, and illuminated the entire Chang'an City with firelight.
Liu Xiu, the founding emperor of the Eastern Han Dynasty
On the first day of September, a large number of soldiers entered Chang'an City, leaving Wang Mang with only Zhang Handan and the family members desperately guarding, the young people in Chang'an City, Judy and Zhang Yu, burned the gate of the royal workshop, and the fire spread to the Yeting and Chengming Halls, which were the residences of Wang Mang's daughter, the Yellow Emperor Princess who married the Han Ping Emperor, and the princess said miserably: What face to see the Han family. He then committed suicide by throwing himself into the fire.
Wang Mang went to the front hall of the Weiyang Palace in order to hide from the fire, but the fire followed, and Wang Mang sat on the ground and said: Born with virtue from me, Han Bing is like what! At the end of the great calamity, he did not reflect on the root cause of his own failure, looking for a way to escape, but instead pinned his trust on the rebel army not to kill him, which was the self-confidence formed by the supreme power who had always been under the lie, this self-righteous mentality had never put the thieves in his heart, and it was these outlaws who destroyed themselves, who saw profit and forgotten righteousness, saw the wind and rudder, and fell into the well, not the Han army headed by Liu Xuan, liu Xiu, who finally won the world.
Chang'an City was a sea of fire
By dawn, there were many ministers with them, probably more than a thousand followers, who came to Wantai, the highest platform in the imperial city, leaving only Wang Yi's father and son, and the rest had been killed. A large number of miscellaneous soldiers surrounded the gradual platform, shooting at each other, and then the short soldiers met each other, and they all died in the gradual platform. Wang Mang hid in the inner chamber.
Wang Mang's New Deal is said to be a crosser
At five o'clock in the afternoon, the crowd rushed to the platform and entered the inner chamber, du Wu, who was a merchant, killed Wang Mang, and the lieutenant Donghai County's public guest cut off Wang Mang's head, and everyone went to cut it, Wang Mang was instantly fragmented, "breaking the knot", and it was unbearable to see, and the historical figures of the new dynasty let these scattered soldiers end up. Gongbin gave Wang Mang's head to Wang Xian, the leader of these scattered soldiers, and Wang Xian claimed to be a great general of the Han Dynasty, and took all of Wang Mang's harem women as wives, and rode on Wang Mang's emperor to sway the city and dominate the city.

Li Song and other Han troops entered Chang'an, beheaded Wang Xian, and sent Wang Mang's first rank to Nanyang Wancheng, where the first rank was hung in the middle of the city, and the people went to throw him, and his tongue was cut off and eaten. Wang Mang's head was disposed of and stored for 272 years, until a fire by Emperor Hui of Jin disappeared, and the main reason for storing the head was that the emperor warned his descendants not to do usurpation of power, and there was nothing special about it.
Known as the Traverser Pengam
Historically, Wang Mang was a reformer, and many policies and modern approaches were even said to have crossed over, and his new dynasty era was exactly around the first year of the Common Era, and there was a lot of evidence to prove that he had crossed away. However, in the general environment of the feudal society at that time, the advanced system would not be accepted by people, and later generations proved to require many regime changes, and gradually formed, so Wang Mang's eventual failure was a historical necessity.
