Seventy-two generals of the Five Wei Commanders also played the role, and the princes of the Han Dynasty were the princes, and the seals of the Emperor were for the people, and there were no disobedients. The seal will be the son, and the handsome will be the male.

Winter wrapping, thunder, tung trees blossoming. Set up the Five Wei Commandery and the Middle City Four Levels General. Wuwei Si ordered pickets to impeach officials below the shanggong, and general Wuwei Zhongcheng was in charge of the twelve gates of the capital. Xia Ceshu ordered Marquis Chen Chong: "Alas! You Chen Chong, you must know that disobeying orders is the root cause of the disaster; the abnormal treachery and cunning are the source of the evil; the minting of pseudo-money is an act of damage to currency; arrogance and extravagance, transcending the system, is the beginning of evil; divulging the secrets of the province and shangshu, and the leakage of confidential matters will hinder success; from the imperial court accepting official titles to private families to express gratitude, the power of appointing officials to knighthoods is not held by the imperial court, and the political power has since declined: summarizing the six articles of creation are the fundamental laws and disciplines of the country.

The order of the six pipes was initially established. The county officials drank wine, sold salt and iron utensils, minted money, and took the tax of the people of the famous mountains and the great things. He also ordered the municipal officials to collect cheap and sell expensive, to lend credit to the people, and to collect interest on the third day of the hundred months. The bartender, the county one, took the passing of the liquor, and the forbidden people were not allowed to carry crossbow armor and migrate to the West Sea. The Xiongnu sought the seal of the ancestors, but they did not cooperate with it, so they killed the officials and the people. In November, the founding general Jianquan said: "The Western Regions general Qin Shangyan, in September Xin Has, Lieutenant Chen Liang, finally led the communist thieves to kill the lieutenant Diao Huo, robbed the officials, claimed to be the great general of the abolition of the Han Dynasty, and died in the Xiongnu." This month, I don't know what kind of man covered the front of the car, calling himself 'Liu Ziyu of the Han clan, the wife of Emperor Cheng.' Liu Shi Dangfu, Fun Void Palace. 'The man who received the family name was Wu Zi Zhong( 武字仲) with the surname Chang'an. They all go against heaven and against their orders, and there is no way out. Please discuss zhong and Chen Liang and other relatives who sit in the seat. Yes. Emperor Gao of the Han dynasty was better than Jieyun, dismissed the officials, and ate for the guests, sincerely wanting to inherit the heart of heaven, and all his descendants were also. His temple was not properly located in Chang'an City, and those who were princes of Liu Liu should be abolished with the Han. Your Majesty is of the utmost kindness and has not been determined for a long time. Liu Chong, the former Marquis of Anzhong, Liu Kuai, the Marquis of Xuxiang, Liu Zeng, the Marquis of Lingxiang, and Liu Gui, the Marquis of Fu'en, gathered more to plot rebellion. Now the cunning of the people or vainly claim to be the generals of the dead Han, or called the emperor's sons, to the point of annihilation, even those who have not stopped, this holy grace does not fleas to extinguish their teeth. Fang Yu thought that Emperor Han Gao was the new guest of honor and enjoyed the Ming Hall. Emperor Cheng, a brother with a different surname; Emperor Ping, and son-in-law; neither is suitable to re-enter his temple. Emperor Yuan and the Empress Dowager are the body, and the Holy Grace is long, and the ceremony is also appropriate. The courtiers asked all the temples of the Han clan to stop at the capital division. Zhu Liu is a prince, and the number of households is the difference of the fifth class; those who are officials are dismissed and wait to be removed from the family. On the middle of the day, called the high emperor god, Sai crazy cunning cute. Mang Yue: "Yes." The Jiaxin Principality's division gave the four auxiliaries with the Fu Order, and all thirty-two people, including Liu Gong the Marquis of Mingwu and Liu Jia the Marquis of Lili, knew the Mandate of Heaven, or offered the Heavenly Rune, or Gong Changyan, or arrested the rebels. Zhu Liu and the thirty-two people who share the same ancestors should not give up, and give the surname of King Yue. "Only the guoshi is a woman with a mangzi, so he does not give a surname." Empress Dowager An was renamed "Yellow Imperial Lord", which was absolutely not for Han Ye.

Six financial and economic management systems were established. It is stipulated that the government shall monopolize liquor, monopolize salt and iron, mint money, and levy taxes on all kinds of resources mined and collected from the mountains and lakes. It is also stipulated that the municipal officials shall purchase low-priced goods, sell high-priced goods, and issue loans to the people, with interest at a monthly interest rate of three percent. There were liquor priests below, one person per county, who took a passing car to collect the profits of selling liquor, and banned the people from hiding crossbows and ammonium armor, and those who violated the law were exiled to Xihai County. The Xiongnu simply demanded the original seal letter, but Wang Mang did not give it, so he invaded the counties along the border, killing and robbing officials and civilians. In November, the founding general Sun Jian reported: "The general of the Western Regions, Dan Qin, reported that in September Xin Wei Et, the lieutenant Shi Chen Lianghe of the Pengji Colonel, together with the killing of the Pengji Lieutenant Diao Huo, coerced the officials and soldiers, claiming to be the great general of the Deposed Han Dynasty, and fled to the Xiongnu to ya. A man who didn't know where to come stopped in front of Sun Jian's car and called himself 'Liu Ziyu of the Han Dynasty, the son of the little wife of Emperor Cheng of Han.' The Liu family should be revived and quickly vacated out of the palace! The man who detained him turned out to be a Chang'an man with the surname Wu Mingzhong. They are all against Heaven, against the Mandate of Heaven, and against the Tao. Please sentence Wu Zhong, Chen Liang, and others to be punished by their relatives sitting together. The sonata was approved. Emperor Gao of the Han Dynasty had recently made it clear that the officials and soldiers guarding the Han Dynasty Temple should be abolished and willing to share the sacrifice as guests in the New Dynasty Temple. He really wanted to obey Providence and save his descendants. Their temples should not remain in Chang'an City, and all the princes of the Liu clan should be abolished along with the Han Dynasty. You are the most merciful, so that you have not decided for a long time. In the past, Liu Chong, the former Marquis of Anzhong, Liu Kuai, the Marquis of Xuxiang, Liu Zeng, the Marquis of Lingxiang, and Liu Gui, the Marquis of Fu'en, successively gathered troops in an attempt to rebel. Now some arrogant and cunning guys, some arrogantly claim to be the generals of the destroyed Han Dynasty, and some pretend to be Liu Ziyu, the son of Emperor Cheng of Han, until they commit the crime of killing and reducing the clan, and they have not stopped one after another, because of your kindness, they have not put an end to their budding as soon as possible. I foolishly thought that Emperor Han Gao could enjoy the sacrifice in the Ming Hall as a state guest of the new dynasty. Emperor Hancheng is your cousin, And Emperor Hanping is your son-in-law, and neither should enter their temple again. The Han Yuan Emperor and the Empress Dowager became husband and wife, which is your grace to be respected, and it is also suitable for that treatment according to the etiquette system. I ask you to abolish all the ancestral temples of the Han Dynasty in the capital, and all the royal families surnamed Liu who are princes, and set the rank of princes and uncles according to the number of households; those who are officials are dismissed and wait at home for new official positions. Doing so is in accordance with the will of Heaven and the wishes of emperor Han Gao's gods, and put an end to the germination of arrogant and cunning ideas. Wang Mang said, "Yes." Thirty-two people, including Liu Gong the Marquis of Mingde and Liu Jia the Marquis of Lili, all understood the Mandate of Heaven, and some offered heavenly charms, some put forward good opinions, and some arrested and denounced anti-thieves, and their merits were enormous. The royal families of the Liu clan and these thirty-two people who shared the same ancestors were not deposed, and rewarded them with the surname of Wang. "Master Guoyou gave his daughter to Wang Mang's son, so he did not give him a surname. Changing the title of Empress Dowager Ding'an to huang imperial lord indicates that she broke off relations with the Han Dynasty.

Winter December, Ray. Renamed Xiongnu Shan Yu Yue "surrender slaves to yu." Mang Yue: "Surrender slaves to the Five Elements of Zhiwei insult, the four articles on the back, invade the Western Regions, extend to the edges, harm the Yuan Yuan, and the sins should be destroyed." He ordered the founding general Sun Jian and other twelve generals to go out together in the ten ways to exercise the power of the emperor and punish him. However, knowing that the ancestors had called on Han Evil Shan to be loyal and filial to the Marquis of Ji for generations, baosai shouyi, and could not bear to destroy the world of the Marquis of Ji with the sin of knowing. Now the people of the Xiongnu land thought that it was fifteen, and the fifteen descendants of the Marquis of Lizhi were single. Zhonglang sent Lin Bao and Dai Zhi chi down and summoned him as a single person. All the Huns shall be pardoned by those who sit on the Dhamma of knowledge." The Wuwei generals Miao and Hu Ben (虎贲) general Wang Quan (王狀) out of Wuyuan (王騤) and Hu Ben (虎贲) were sent out of Wuyuan, the generals Chen Qin (陈钦) and Zhendi (振迪) were sent out of the clouds, the Zhenwu generals Wang Jia (王嘉) and the Pingdi general Wang Meng (王萌) were sent out of Dai Commandery (代郡), the Xiangwei generals Li Zhao (李棽) and Zhenyuan (Zhenyuan generals Li Weng) were sent out of Xihe, the generals Yang Jun (貉貉) and Yan You (Yan You), the generals Yan You (貉) were out of Yuyang (貉貉) and Yan You (严尤) the generals Of Qiu (貉貉) and Yan You (貉貉) the general Yan You (貉貉) the general Yang Jun (貉貉) and Yan You (严尤) the general Yan You (貉楃) the general Yang Jun (貉貉) and the general Yan You (严尤) were sent out of Wuyuan (񗰤񗰤) and The generals Li Recruit 300,000 prisoners, Ding Nan, and Jia pawns from all over the world, transfer the five county committees to lose the clothes, weapons, and grain of the five doctors, and send the chief officials to the north of haijianghuai, and the emissaries will spread the fun of supervision, and engage in military rejuvenation, and the world will be in turmoil. The first to arrive in Tunbian County, must be all out at the same time. Mang could not do it with coins, and repeated the book: "The people take food as their life, goods as their capital, and the eight governments are headed by food." Treasure goods are heavy, small use is not given, all light are burdensome, light and heavy have their own differences, then use convenience and folk music. So he made treasure goods five products, the language in the "Food Chronicle". The people do not obey, but do small and big money and two products. Those who steal money cannot be forbidden, but they are strictly punished, and one family mints money, and five families sit on it, and they are not slaves. Officials come and go, hold the cloth money and pass it on with a sub-symbol, and those who do not hold it, do not give up the kitchen transmission, and Guan Jin is harshly retained. The secretaries of state all hold on to the entrance to the palace, and want to do it with weight. When it was time to fight for the title of Marquis of Fu Feng, he did not play with the words: "The Emperor of Heaven alone except for shuhu? Si Ming Chen Chongbai Mang said: "This path of treachery and the path of blessing and chaos of the Mandate of Heaven should be eliminated." Mang was also disgusted with it, so he ordered Shang Shu's doctor Zhao to be examined and treated, and all the non-Wuwei generals led the class were imprisoned.

In the winter of December, thunder strikes. Change the name of the Xiongnu Shan Yu to surrender slave obedience. Wang Mang said: "The subservience of slaves to Nangzhiyasi insulted the dignity of the country, betrayed the Four Agreements, invaded the Western Regions, spread to the borders of our country, caused harm to the people, and the crimes committed should be killed and exterminated." A total of twelve generals, including the founding general Sun Jian, were dispatched to divide the troops into ten routes and go out together to show the power of the emperor and punish Nang Zhiyasi himself. Thinking of the ancestor of Nang Zhiyasi, the ancestor of The original Hu Han Evil Shan Yu Hou Hu several generations of loyalty and filial piety, defending the border dangerous places, he could not bear to eliminate the descendants of the Ji Hou Lion because of the crime of a Nang Zhi Yasi. It was now decided to divide the territory and people of the Xiongnu into fifteen kingdoms, and to appoint Hou Shan's fifteen descendants as a single one. Zhonglang was dispatched to quickly travel to the border with Lin Bao and Dai Rank to gather and grant those who should be singled out. All the Huns who should have been convicted of breaking the law with the traitor Zhiyas were pardoned. "Dispatched the Wuwei general Miao Xin and the Hu Ben general Wang Quan to attack from Wuyuan County, the tired general Chen Qin and the Zhendi general Wang Zhu to attack from Yunzhong County, the Zhenwu general Wang Jia and Pingdi general Wang Meng from Dai County, the Xiangwei general Li Qin and the Zhenyuan general Li Weng from Xihe County, the General Yang Jun and the general Yan You from Yuyang County, the Fenwu general Wang Jun and the Dinghu general Wang Yan from Zhangye County, and the general General Pei of Partial General Pei a total of one hundred and eighty officers. 300,000 prison inmates, zhuangding, and armed soldiers from all over the country were summoned, and ordered the counties to transfer military uniforms and leather coats, weapons, and grain, and county-level officials were transported from the Yangtze River and Huai River valleys along the coast to the northern border counties. The troops who arrived first were stationed in the border counties, and they had to wait until all of them arrived before attacking at the same time. Because the coins could not be circulated, Wang Mang also said: "The people regard grain as life, and materials and money as the needs of life, so the eight administrative policies put grain in the first place." Currency is expensive, so small use is inconvenient, are light, then transportation and loading is troublesome and troublesome, light, heavy, large, small each has a grade, then easy to use, the people welcome. So five kinds of currency were made, and these words were recorded in the "Food Chronicle" wrapped in noodles. The people do not obey, and there are only two kinds of money, small money and big money. It was impossible to prohibit the minting of money without permission, so the criminal law was increased, and one family minted money, and five neighbors sat with them, confiscating these people to the palace as slaves. Officials and people must carry cloth money as a sub-certificate for the pass when they go out and return, and for those who do not carry it, the museum does not allow him to stay, and the checkpoints and ferries must be interrogated and left behind. The Secretary of State and the Minister had to carry it to enter the palace gates, and wanted to increase its value in this way so that it could be circulated. At this time, people were scrambling to make runes to seek the title of marquis, and those who had not done so joked with each other: "Do you have no appointment letter of the Emperor of Heaven alone?" Wuwei Si ordered Chen Chong to report to Wang Mang: "This has opened up the path for traitors to pursue Lilu, and it has confused the Mandate of Heaven, and this root cause should be severed." Wang Mang also hated this kind of thing, so he asked Shang Shu to go and check it, not the spell decree issued by the Wuwei general, and the people who made it were all imprisoned. 

Introduction to the Book of Han of the Classics of Traditional Chinese Studies Lecture 202: Wang Mang's Biography Fifth

In the beginning, Zhen Feng, Liu Xin, and Wang Shun, as Mang's heart, advocated reign and praised merit; the titles of "An Han" and "Zai Heng" conspired with Feng Mang's mother, two sons, and brothers, and Feng, Shun, and Xin were also blessed with it, and they were rich and noble, and they did not want to make Mang juju. Ju Zhi Meng, from The Marquis of Quanling, Liu Qing, Former Xuanguang Xie Hu, and Chang'an Lingtian Final Technique. The wings of mang have been formed, intending to be praised. Feng and others obeyed his wishes, and Mang Re-enfeoffed Shun, Xin's two sons, and Feng's grandson. Feng and other titles have been flourished, and their hearts are full, and they are really afraid of the Han Sect and the world. And those who are alienated from those who want to enter, and do the fate, recklessly based on the truth, Shun, Xin Nei is only afraid. Feng Su was strong, and Mang Jue did not say anything, so he migrated to Da'a, Right Fu, DasiKong Feng, and Tuo Fu Mingwen, as the first generals, and Wang Sheng, who sold cakes, and was listed together. Feng father and son were silent. Shi Zixun was the Marquis of Maode, the Grand Prince of Jingzhao, that is, as a fu order, Yan Xinfu should be divided into Shaanxi, the second uncle, with Feng as the right uncle, and Taifu Pingyan as the left uncle, such as Zhou and Zhao stories. Mang followed it, and Bai Feng was the right uncle. When the debriefing went out of the west, he did not do it, and he was restored as a spell, saying that the Lord of the Huang Imperial Family after the Ping Emperor of the Han Dynasty was the wife of The Seeker. Mang lied, suspicious of the minister's resentment, and wanted to shock the threat to be afraid, because he was angry: "Huang Royal Family Lord Heavenly Mother, what is this?" "Harvest and hunt. Seeking death, Feng commits suicide. After following fangshi into Mount Hua, he was captured after many years, and resigned to the Guoshi Gonggong Xin Zi to serve the Middle Eastern Psychic General, the Fifth Division's Grand Master Longwei Hou Yong, the Right Cao Changshui Colonel Lieutenant Fei Yu Hou Yong, the Great Sikong Yi Brother Zuo Guan General Wei Hou Qi, and the Xin men's Attendant Lieutenant Ding Long, etc., dragging the Gong Qing Party below the Marquis, hundreds of dead. The search for the hand has the word "Son of Heaven", and Mang xie his arm into the eyes, saying: "This eldest son is also, or one or six sons." Six, kill also. Ming sought the father and son when they died also. "It is the flow of the river in Youzhou, the search for the three dangers, and the death of the dragon in the Feather Mountain, all of which carry their corpses to the clouds." Reckless and extravagant, bare-eyed, loud and hoarse. Seven feet and five inches long, with a thick and high crown, dressed in a krypton, high-sighted, overlooking the left and right. When it is time, those who use the technique of the yellow door, or ask the mangly appearance, to be edicted: "The so-called man who is mangy, the tiger kisses the jackal, is also able to eat people, and should also be eaten by people." "The one who asks tells him, and the one who is recklessly destroyed is to be commanded, and the one who seals the accusation." After changing the screen of the mica, non-close to Mo de saw also. He was the first to serve as the general of Ning Shi.

At first, Zhen Feng, Liu Xin, and Wang Shun were Wang Mang's confidants. First of all, it was proposed that Wang Mang should be given high power and praise and praise his merits; the titles of "Duke of An Han" and "Zaiheng", as well as the mother, two sons and nephews who conferred on Wang Mang, were all jointly planned by Zhen Feng and others, so that Zhen Feng, Wang Shun, and Liu Xin also received his favor, all gained fame and fortune, and did not want Wang Mang to take the position of regent. The beginning of the regency came from Liu Qing, the Marquis of Quanling, Xie Huan of Former Glow, and Lingtian Final Technique of Chang'an. Wang Mang's feathers were already plump, and he wanted to take over the government in his heart. Zhen Feng and others obeyed his intentions, and Wang Mang rewarded Wang Shun and Liu Xin's two sons, as well as Zhen Feng's grandson. Zhen Feng and others had already honored their titles, their desires had been satisfied, and they were really afraid of the Han Dynasty royal family and the world's heroes. And those peripheral figures of the ruling clique who wanted to climb up, one after another, made spells, Wang Mang relied on these forces to officially ascend to the throne, Wang Shun and Liu Xin were afraid in their hearts. Zhen Feng had always been strong, and Wang Mang sensed that he was unhappy, so under the pretext of rune words, he transferred Zhen Feng, who served as the Great Ah, Right Fu, and Great Sikong, to be the general of the Gengshi Commandery, so that he was equal to the status of Wang Sheng, who sold cakes. Zhen Feng's father and son were silent. At this time, Zhen Feng's son Zhen Xun served as the attendant jingzhao dayin, and was given the title of Marquis of Maode, so he made a spell saying that the new dynasty should separate the areas around the capital from Shaanxi County, set up two local governors, and appoint Zhen Feng as the right uncle and Taifu Pingyan as the left uncle, following the precedent of the Duke of Zhou and the Duke of Zhao. Wang Mang did so and appointed Zhen Feng as his right uncle. He should have served in the west, but before he could start, Zhen Xun made another spell, saying that the former Empress Huang Of the Ping Emperor of the Han Dynasty was Zhen Xun's wife. Wang Mang ascended to the throne by deception, and his heart was full of suspicions that the chancellor was resentful and slanderous, and he wanted to show his majesty to intimidate his subordinates, so he became angry and said: "The Lord of the Huang Imperial Family is the mother of the country, and he is the wife of The Foot Zhen, what is this!" He ordered Zhen Xun to be arrested. Zhen Xun escaped, and Zhen Feng committed suicide. Zhen Xun followed the charlatans into Mount Hua, and it took more than a year to catch them, and the confession involved Liu Mo, the son of Liu Xin, the son of Liu Xin, the Fifth Division's Grand Master, Liu Mo, the Marquis of Longwei, Liu Cai's younger brother, Liu Yong, the Right Cao Changshui Colonel, Wang Qi, the General of Zuoguan, the Marquis of Wei, and Liu Xin's student, Liu Xin's student Lieutenant Ding Long, and others, implicating the Gongqing, his relatives, and the Marquis of Liehou, and hundreds of people died. The texture on Zhen Xun's hand had the words "Tianzi", and Wang Mang cut off his arm to go to the palace to wrap the face to observe it, saying: "This is 'one big son', or 'one six sons'." Sixth, it is killing, which shows that Zhen's father and son should be killed. So Liu Cai was exiled to Youzhou, Zhen Xun was expelled to Sanwei, and Ding Long was killed in Yushan, all of which were delivered with their bodies in the caravanserai. Wang Mang's appearance is a large mouth, a short chin, bulging eyeballs, crystal blood red, and a coarse and hoarse voice. He was seven feet five inches tall and liked to wear thick-soled shoes, a top hat, a hard woolen coat, a chest up, and a far-reaching look down at the left and right sides. At this time, there was a person waiting for appointment at the Yellow Gate by medical skills, and there was the appearance of Wang Mang in the human world, and the person waiting for appointment said: "Wang Mang is a person who people say that his eyes are like owls, his mouth is like a tiger, and his voice is like a jackal, so he can eat people, and he will be eaten by others in the future." The person who asked the question denounced the matter, and Wang Mang executed the person waiting for appointment and rewarded the person who reported it. In the future, he often covered himself with mica screens, and those who were not close could not see him. In this year, he appointed Marquis Yao Ke of Chumu as the general of Ningshi.

In the third year, Mang Yue said: "Hundred officials were changed, the ministry was transferred, the law was ordered, and the law was not determined, and because of the Han law, the law was ordered to be carried out." Let the secretary of state, the doctor, the princes, and the two thousand stone officials have virtue, government affairs, and one person who can speak and write, and the four doors of the king's road. Sending Shangshu Dafu Zhao and making Laobei, he also said that wuyuan north was falsely anointed with soil and valleys, and often placed field officials. He was also a general of Tian He, and a soldier in the north of Tun Tian to help the army with food. At that time, the generals were on the side, and the masses were gathered, and the officials were indulged, while the inner counties were worried about the requisition, and the people abandoned the city and went into exile as thieves, especially in The Prefecture and Pingzhou. Mang ordered the Seven Dukes and Six Secretaries to be called generals, sent general Wu to arrest and wait for the names of the capital, Zhonglang generals and embroidered clothes to enforce the law, and filled in the border counties, and the overseers of the big traitors were good at manipulating soldiers, all of whom were traitors to the outside, scratching the prefectures and counties, and the goods were bribed into the city, and the fishermen were invaded. Mangxia's book reads: "When the sin of the prisoner is destroyed, therefore the dispatch of the fierce general will be divided into twelve parts, which will be released at the same time, and will be decided in one fell swoop." There are two military supervisors in the outer division, and there are two people in the outer military supervision, who sincerely want to disobey the orders of the division, so that the soldiers Areham Zhengye. This is not the case now, each for the powerful, fearing the good people, vainly sealing the necks of the people, and those who receive money go. Poisonous flies are served together, and the peasants are scattered. If the superintendent is like this, can it be said that it is not? From now on, those who dare to commit this offense will be arrested and known for their fame. "But he is indulgent. And Lin Bao and Dai Rank went to Saixia, lured Shan Xian and Xian Zi to enter the Sai, threatened to worship Xian as filial piety, gave thousands of pounds of gold, and many splendid embroideries, and sent them away; they would ascend to Chang'an, worship ShunDan Yu, and stay in the mansion. Taishi Wang Shun fell ill and died after Mang usurped the throne. Mang Yue: "The Taigong of Xiqi is shude and the master of the Zhou clan, and the prison of Gaiyu is also the guardian." He honored his father as Duke An Xin (安新公), Yan Di (延弟) Marquis Kuang (宛新侯匡) as a general of the Taishi (太師將軍), and Yong (永) as a new chamber assistant. "Four teachers and friends for the prince, with the rank of doctor." With the late Grand Situ MaGong as the teacher, Zong Bofeng of the Shaofu Province as Fu Cheng, Dr. Yuan Sheng as Afu, and JingZhao Yin Wang Jia as Baofu, who was the fourth division; therefore, Shang Shu made Tang Lin a subordinate, Dr. Li Chong was a runner, Zhao Xiang was the counselor, and Zhonglang made Lian Dan a royal insult, which was for the four friends. He also placed one master and friend offering wine and one wine offering in the service, the counselor, and the six sutras, and each of the nine sacrificial wines was ranked Shangqing. Lang Xie Zuo Xian spoke about "Spring and Autumn", Yingchuan Manchang for "Poetry", Chang'an Guoyu for "Yi", Tang Chang of Pingyang for "Book", Pei county Chen Xian for "Li", and Cui Fa for "Le" to offer wine. The dispatcher holds the Anche seal silk, that is, worships Gong Sheng of the Chu state to sacrifice wine for the prince's teacher and friend, and the victory should not be conscripted, and he dies without eating. The Ningshi general Yao Kewei was spared, and Kong Yong, the Marquis of Shizhong and Chonglu, was made the general of Ningshi.

In the third year, Wang Mang said: "The names of the hundred officials have changed, their positions have changed, the legal system and rules of etiquette have not been formulated in time, and the right and follow the legal system and etiquette rules of the Han Dynasty to do things." He ordered the Gongqing Doctor, the princes, and the officials of the 2,000 stone rank to elect one of the officials or civilians who had moral cultivation, were familiar with policies and decrees, were good at rhetoric, and were proficient in literature and classics, and came to the four gates of the Wang Road. "Sent Shang Shu Dafu to visit and send an envoy to comfort the garrison of the northern border counties, and came back to say that the northern false area of Wuyuan County was fertile and able to grow grain, and used to set up officials to manage the farmland. He appointed Zhao and Tian He as the general, and mobilized the garrison soldiers to reclaim and cultivate the fields in the northern leave area to fund military food. At this time, the generals were stationed on the border, waiting for the various large armies to gather, the officers and soldiers were acting recklessly, and the counties in the interior were so distressed by the conscription of personnel and materials by the government that the people abandoned their homes to go into exile as thieves, and the prefecture and peace state were particularly bad. Wang Mang ordered the seven dukes and six secretaries to be called generals at the same time, dispatched the wu general Lu He and others to guard the famous city, sent the general Zhonglang and the embroidered law enforcement of fifty-five people each, respectively, to guard the big counties on the border, and to supervise the traitors who arbitrarily moved and raised troops to rebel, and they all did bad things in other places, disturbed the prefectures and counties, bribed and traded openly like a business, and plundered the people's property. Wang Mang then said: "The crimes committed by the Xiongnu Zhiyasi should be killed and exterminated, so the fierce generals were divided into twelve armies, and they were going to attack at the same time and wipe them out in one fell swoop." The imperial court set up the commander of the army, and the various armies set up twelve military supervisors, who originally wanted to rely on them to monitor the phenomenon of disobedience to orders, so that all soldiers could act justly. This is not the case now, playing with power, intimidating the good people, acting boldly, tying them around their necks with chains, forcing them into slavery, and extorting money before taking them down. Disasters occurred together, causing farmers to be displaced. Is it possible to say that si mingjun and the military superintendent are performing their duties like this? Henceforth, those who dare to commit such crimes again will be arrested and imprisoned and their names will be reported. "However, it is still foolish. Lin Bao and Dai Fang arrived at the border, lured Shan Yu's younger brother Xian and Xian's son Deng to invade the border, forced Xian to be given the title of Xiao Shan Yu, and rewarded him with a thousand catties of gold and a lot of high-grade silk, and sent him back; he was taken to Chang'an, and he was given the title of Shun Shan Yu and stayed in the foreign hotel. Taishi Wang Shun suffered palpitations since Wang Mang stole the throne, which gradually worsened and died. Wang Mang said: "In the past, Prince Taigong of Qi relied on his good and beautiful virtues to pass down for many generations, and he was the Taishi of the Zhou Dynasty, which was originally the Law I took. Wang Shun's son Wang Yan should be allowed to inherit his father's title as Duke of Anxin, and Wang Yan's younger brother Wang Kuang the Marquis of Baoxin should serve as a general of the Taishi And serve as an assistant to the new dynasty for generations. "Set up four teachers and four friends for the prince, and Compare the doctor to the doctor." The former Grand Master Situ MaGong was appointed as the master of doubt, the former Shaofu Zong Bofeng as Fu Cheng, the doctor Yuan Sheng as Afu, and the Jingzhao Yin Wang Jia as Baofu, which was the fourth division; the original Shangshu Order Tang Lin was attached to Xu, Dr. Li Chong was a benefactor, the counselor was a xiangzuo, and Zhonglang made Lian Dan a royal insult, which was the four friends. There is also one person each for the Master and Friend Sacrifice Wine and the Waiter Sacrifice Wine, the Consultation Sacrifice Wine, and the Six Classics Sacrifice Wine, a total of nine sacrifice wines, and Feng Lu is compared with Shangqing. Zuo Xian, a native of Langxian County, gave a lecture on the "Spring and Autumn" sacrifice wine, a man from Yingchuan County, gave a lecture on the "Book of Poetry" offering wine, the Chang'an people in the country made a lecture on the "I Ching" sacrifice wine, Tang Chang, a person from Pingyang County, made a lecture on the "Book of Books" to sacrifice wine, Chen Xian, a pei county man, gave a lecture on the "Book of Rites" to sacrifice wine, and Cui Yu talked about the "Book of Music" sacrifice wine. The dispatching officer carried a car and a seal letter, and on the spot, Gong Sheng, a Chu state, was appointed as the prince's teacher and friend to sacrifice wine, but Gong Sheng refused to accept the appointment and died of hunger strike. The Ningshi general Yao Ke was dismissed from his post, and Kong Yong, the Marquis of Chonglu, was appointed as the general of Ningshi.

Yes, Chiyang County has a small person scenery, a long foot, or a car, or a horse, or walking, operating all things, small and large are commensurate, three days. Locusts grow in River County. Hedu Wei County, a number of counties east of the Panqing River. First, the Mang Fear River was decided to harm the tomb of Yuancheng Tomb. And decided to go to the east, Yuancheng was not worried about the water, so it did not stop the embankment. In February of the fourth year, the world was pardoned. Summer, red qi out of the southeast, the sky. The tired general Chen Qinyan (陈钦縣) hunted down the captives, and those who committed the crimes were all filial piety to XianZijiao. Furious, he beheaded his son and ascended to Chang'an to see the barbarians. Sima Zhen died, the Ningshi general Kong Yong was made the Grand Sima and the Shizhong Marquis Fu was the general of Ningshi. Whenever Mang came out, he searched the city first, known as "horizontal search". It is a month, a horizontal search for five days. Mang went to the Ming Hall and gave the princes thatched soil. The next book says: "Give it immorality, and attack the Holy Ancestor, for the Lord of all nations." Si'an Liyuan, lies in Jianhou, divides the state and is confused, and uses beautiful customs. Posthumously imprisoned the previous generation, Ye Gang Ji. However, in the Yao Dian, there are two states out of ten, and there are five costumes for Wei. "Poetry" is fifteen in the country and spread throughout Kyushu. The "Yin Song" has the saying 'there are nine haves'. "Yu Gong" of Kyushu has no harmony and you, and "Zhou Li Sima" has no Xu and Liang. The emperors changed each other, and each had a cloud. Or to show its deeds, or to make its essence bigger, to be righteous and clear, and to be a matter of course. After Tuesday was appointed, there were residences in the eastern capital and the western capital. Whatever is given is given, so is the cover. It has Luoyang as the new room east capital, and Chang'an as the new room west capital. BangQi is conjoined, each with its own responsibility. The state is nine from the YuGong, and the lord is five from the Zhou clan. There are eight hundred members of the princes, and the number of cities attached is also the same, so as to have merit. Together with the princes, there are tens of thousands of households, and the earth is hundreds of miles. Hou Bo is a country, with five thousand households and seventy miles of earth. One son and one man, two thousand households with five hundred, and fifty miles from the earth. Ninety percent of the great people who attached the city to the city, nine hundred households, and thirty miles of earth. From nine below, the kill is reduced to two, as for one city. Five poor spare equipment, one in one. Those who have now received the soil are fourteen gong, ninety-three hou, twenty-one bo, one hundred and seventy-one sons, four hundred and ninety-seven males, and seven hundred and ninety-six. Attached to the city of 1,511 people. The daughters of the Nine Tribes are the ones who are in charge, eighty-three. and the Han daughter Sun Yat-sen Chenglijun, Zun Dejun, and Xiu Yijun were even more responsible. There is a gong, nine qing, twelve doctors, and twenty-four yuanshi. The place where the kingdoms were located was fixed, so that Kong Bing, the master of the ceremony, and others who knew the geographical map of the prefecture and the counties of the prefecture jointly ruled the Shoucheng Zhu Bird Hall. Yu Shu and the group of public sacrifice wine Shangqing personally listened to and watched, and xian had passed. Fu praises virtue and rewards merit, so xianren xianye; the nine ethnic groups are harmonious, so they praise relatives and relatives also. Yu Yongwei bandit solution, thinking of the predecessors, will be deposed, in order to clarify the likes and dislikes, An Yuanyuan Yan. "The book of the atlas is undecided, the state has not been granted, and the order is enshrined in the capital, and the monthly money is thousands." The princes were poor, to the point of having mediocre authors.

[Translation] This year, the shadow of a villain appeared in Chiyang County, more than a foot high, some riding on cars and horses, some walking, holding a variety of utensils, the size of the utensils and the figure just matched, three days to stop. Locusts appeared in the counties along the Yellow River. The Yellow River broke through the territory of Wei County, flooding Qinghe County to bundle several counties. Originally, Wang Mang was afraid that the mouth of the Yellow River would become a disaster for the tomb of his ancestors in Yuancheng County. When the river flows eastward, Yuancheng County does not have to worry about flooding, so it will not build an embankment to block the water. In February of 2004, a national amnesty was announced. In summer, fiery red clouds rise from the southeast and rise up to the sky. The tired general Chen Qin said that the capture of prisoners and the enemy's invasion of the border were all done by Xiao Shan Yu Xian's son Jiao. Wang Mang became angry and killed Xian's son Deng in Chang'an, giving the various foreigners in Chang'an a color to see. Sima Zhen died, and the Ningshi general Kong Yong served as the Grand Sima and the Shizhong Marquis Fu served as the Ningshi general. Whenever Wang Mang went out, he always had to search the city first, called "universal search". This month, a general search was carried out for five days. Wang Mang came to the Ming Hall and granted the princes that symbolized the fiefdom. The following statement says: "I have no virtue, I inherited the cause of the Yellow Emperor and Yu Shun, and became the monarch of the various princely states. I thought that to stabilize the common people, it was necessary to establish princes, demarcate borders by prefectures and countries, and thus improve customs. Taking the law from ancient times, this is the principle and the method. According to the Yaodian Records, there were twelve states, which were divided into five classes outside the direct territory of the emperor. The Book of Poetry records fifteen kingdoms, distributed in nine prefectures. The Yin Song has the words "including Kyushu". The Book of Books. Among the nine states recorded in Yugong, there are no prefectures and youzhou, Zhou Li. However, the records of Sima do not have Xuzhou and Liangzhou. Emperors have changed successively, each with its own meaning and role. Some are about showing his cause, some are about expanding his roots, and the implications are obvious, and what they are committed to pursuing is a purpose. In the past, King Wen of Zhou and King Wu of Zhou successively inherited the Mandate of Heaven, so there was the construction of Shudu and Xidu. I inherited my destiny, and I would have been like them. Luoyang should be made the capital of the new dynasty, and Chang'an should be the western capital of the new dynasty. The two capitals were connected to their periphery as a whole, including a number of fiefdoms of the Dukes and Lords. The prefectures were divided into nine prefectures according to the Yugong, and the knighthoods were divided into five classes according to the system of the Zhou Dynasty. The names of the princes were rated eighteen hundred, and the number of vassals was like that of the princes, waiting for those who had merit to receive these titles. The fiefs of the dukes were called together, and there were 10,000 inhabitants, and the land stretched for a hundred miles. The fiefdom of the Marquis count was called a country, with 5,000 inhabitants, and the land stretched for ten miles. The fief of the Viscount Baron was called Yize, and it had 2,500 inhabitants, and the land stretched for fifty miles. Ninety percent of the largest fiefdom in the annexed city has 900 residents and 30 miles of land. From less than 90%, each reduction of one grade is reduced by 20%, and finally reduced to one. The total area of fiefs of five different ranks of annexes is equivalent to the fiefdom of one viscount baron. Fourteen dukes, ninety-three marquises, twenty-one counts, one hundred and seventy-one viscounts, and four hundred and ninety-seven barons have now been accepted, for a total of seven hundred and ninety-six. There are 1,511 people attached to the city. Eighty-three of the daughters of the Nine Tribes were knighted. As well as the granddaughters of the Han Dynasty, Zhongshan Guo Chenglijun, Zun Dejun, and Xiu Yijun were renamed Renjue. There are also eleven dukes, nine secretaries, twelve doctors, and twenty-four yuanshi. Demarcate the addresses of all feudal states, food estates, and land harvesting, and let Kong Bing, the grand master of ceremonies, and other officials of various prefectures and counties who are familiar with geographical charts and household registration books, jointly check and sort them out at Zhu Wu Hall in the Shoucheng Room. I have personally inspected and listened to reports with various princes, priests, and shangqing many times, and I have already learned about it. The commendation of virtue and the reward of merit are used to show the benevolence of the emperor and the merits of his subordinates; the harmony of the nine ethnic groups is used to promote the love of relatives to each other. I never want to do nothing, I want to emulate the ancients, I will publicly reward and punish, so as to show love and hatred, and to stabilize the good people. "Since the map and household registration have not yet been planned and the land has not been granted, they are temporarily allowed to receive a salary at the official office of the capital and give them a few thousand dollars a month." The princes all had a difficult life, and some were even employed to work for others.  

Introduction to the Book of Han of the Classics of Traditional Chinese Studies Lecture 202: Wang Mang's Biography Fifth

Zhonglang District Bo Zhi Mang said: "Although Ida is a saint king law, it has been abolished for a long time. The Zhou Dao is in decline, but the people do not follow. Qin knew that the heart of the people could be greatly profited, so he destroyed Lujing and left Him alone, so the king Zhuxia did not tire of it. Now he wants to go against the will of the people and recover a thousand years of extinction, although Yao and Shunxia have begun, and there is no hundred years of progress, And He can do it. The world is initially determined, and the people are newly annexed, and it cannot be implemented. Mang knew the grievances of the people, but the next book said: "All the famous eaters of the king's field must be sold, and do not be bound by the law." Whoever commits the crime of buying and selling privately, and all will not be punished. At the beginning, Wuwei general Shuai came out and changed the sentence to the king of the town as a marquis, and Wang Handan was angry and angry. Mang sneered at Mu Ke Da Yin Zhou Xin for deceiving Handan. Brother Handi raised an army to attack and kill Xin. First, the mangled Goguryeo soldiers, when they cut down hu, did not want to do it, and the county forced it, and all died out of the plug, because of the crime as the crown. Yin Tian Tan, the Great Yin of Western Liaoning, pursued him and killed him. The state was blamed on the Marquis of Goguryeo. Yan You said: "If a raccoon breaks the law and does not start from the donkey, he has his heart, and it is advisable to order the prefecture and the county and the lieutenant to be safe." Now that he has been guilty of a great sin, he who fears that he will be punished will be reconciled. The Huns have not yet conquered, and the husbands and uncleans have risen, and this great worry is also. "Reckless is not wei an, and the filthy raccoon is reversed, and the edict is particularly striking." You lured the Marquis of Goguryeo to the throne and beheaded him, and passed on the head of Chang'an. Mang Da said, the next book reads: "He who is ordained to dispatch fierce generals, to perform heavenly punishment together, to destroy the knowledge of the enemy, divided into twelve parts, or to cut off his right arm, or to cut off his left armpit, or to collapse his chest and abdomen, or to destroy his two threats." This year's punishment is in the East, and the ministry of the curse is first indulged. Catching and chopping up the yu, pacifying the eastern region, and killing the yu knows the annihilation lies in the omission. This is the blessing of the gods of heaven and earth, the community, and the temple, and the gongqing, the doctor, and the people will lead the power of the tiger with one heart. To the great. It was renamed Goguryeo as the lower sentence, which was announced to the world and made Xian know. So the raccoons became more and more offended, and the northeast and southwest were in chaos.

Zhonglang District Bo advised Wang Mang: "Although the Ida system is the system of the wise emperors, it has been abandoned for a long time. The system of the Zhou Dynasty had declined, so the people did not obey. The Qin Dynasty knew how to obey the wishes of the people and could reap huge benefits, so it abolished the well field system and reclaimed idle land, thus unifying the Central Plains, and to this day, the people of the whole country have not abandoned the evils of this system. Now if you want to go against the wishes of the people and go back to restore the outstanding deeds of thousands of years ago, Tang Yao and Yu Shun will reappear, and if there is no brewing process of hundreds of years, it will be impossible to implement. Now that state power has just been established and the people of the whole country have just been annexed, it is indeed impossible to implement it. Wang Mang knew that the people were resentful, so he said: "All privately owned or rewarded wang tian by the imperial court are allowed to sell it, and do not use the law to restrict it." Those who violate the prohibition on the private sale and purchase of civilians will not be prosecuted for the time being. At the beginning, Wuwei sent Shuai out on patrol and changed the king of Jurchen to a marquis, and the king of Jurchen was resentful and angry, and did not obey. Wang Mang signaled to Zhou Xin, the Grand Duke of Fat Ke County, to kill Handan by deception. Handan's younger brother raised an attack and killed Zhou Xin. Originally, Wang Mang mobilized Goguryeo's army and asked them to attack the Xiongnu, they did not want to go, and the county wrapped forced them to flee from the border, so they offended the law and robbed and killed. Liaoxi County's Great Yin Tian Tan pursued them and were killed by them. The governor of the prefecture blamed the Goguryeo Marquis Ju. Yan You reported: "The raccoon's offense did not start with the mule, and if they had other motives, they should be ordered to the state and county power and appease him." Now that more serious crimes have been imposed, I am afraid that they will rebel, and the tribes of Fuyu will definitely echo it. The Xiongnu did not win the victory, and Fuyu and the raccoon rose up again, and this is the great trouble. Wang Mang did not appease, and Qin Raccoon rebelled and ordered Yan You to attack it. Yan You lured Marquis Ju of Goguryeo to come and killed him, passing the first rank to Chang'an. Wang Mang was very pleased, and said: "A few days ago, he sent a fierce general to respectfully carry out the punishment of heaven to suppress the Xiongnu Nanzhiyasi, and divided into twelve armies, some of which cut off his right arm, some of which cut off his left shoulder, some of which damaged his chest and abdomen, and some of which pulled out his two ribs. This year's penal killings will appear in the East, and the troops who crusaded against the Raccoons will take the lead. The capture of the mule slaves, the pacification of the eastern region of Dingding, the annihilation of the Xiongnu Nangzhiyasi, is just around the corner. This is the blessing of heaven and earth, the gods, the gods of the earth valley, and the ancestors to bless and help, and the strength of the gongqing doctors, scholars, and people to fight with one heart and one mind and the generals to fight heroically. I appreciate these. Goguryeo should be renamed The Lower Sentence and publicized to the world so that everyone knows. As a result, the Raccoons invaded the border even more, and the northeast and southwest were in chaos.
