Life of the characters
Feign death and escape
Liu Xuan is Liu Xiu's elder brother. Because his younger brother was killed, he made friends with guests and planned to avenge his younger brother. Later, because the guests broke the law, Liu Xuan fled from Chongling to Pinglin (now the northeast of suixian County in Hubei Province) to avoid being arrested by the government. The government arrested Liu Xuan's father, Liu Zizhang. Liu Xuan pretended to be dead and sent someone to send the coffin back to Chongling. The government released Liu Zizhang, so Liu Xuan fled.
Response to the attack
In the last years of Wang Mang, there was a famine in the south. People swarmed into the wild, dug water chestnuts to eat, and robbed each other. Wang Kuang and Wang Feng from Xinshi judged the dispute for them, and were elected to be the commander-in-chief, with hundreds of people. So many Desperado Ma Wu, Wang Chang, Cheng Dan and so on also defected to them; they attacked together, left their hometown and gathered together, hid in the green forest mountains, and within a few months, they reached 7000.
In the second year of the Emperor (21th year), jingzhoumu sent 20000 fast troops to attack. Wang Kuang led the troops to fight against Yundu. They defeated the troops, killed thousands of them, and seized all the supplies. So they seized jingling. They also attacked Yundu and Anlu, plundered more women, returned to the green forest, and developed to more than 50000 people, which could not be subdued by prefectures.
In the third year (22nd year) of emperor Dihuang, a serious disease occurred, and almost half of the dead were killed, so all the parts were scattered. Wang Chang and Cheng Danxi were called Xiajiang soldiers when they entered Nanjun; Wang Kuang, Wang Feng, Ma Wu and their affiliated parties Zhu Yu and Zhang ang were called Xinshi soldiers when they entered Nanjun; they all called themselves generals. In July, Wang Kuang and others attacked Suizhou but did not. Chen Mu and Liao Zhan of Pinglin gathered more than 1000 people to call them Pinglin soldiers. Liu Xuan went to join Chen Mu and others, and served as an ji'e under Chen mu. At that time, Liu Xiu and his brother Liu Yan also set up troops in Chongling and joined forces with other departments.
Ascend the throne for the Emperor
In the first month of the fourth year (23rd year) of the emperor, he defeated Zhen Fu, a former doctor of Wang Mang's team, who belonged to Zhengliang Qiuci, and killed them, calling Liu Xuan a general of reform. At this time, although there were many troops, there was no unified command, so the generals agreed to make Liu Xuan emperor. On the first day of February, an altar was set up on the beach beside the water (now the shore of the water in the south of Baihe city in Nanyang, Henan Province) to display troops and hold a general meeting. Liu Xuan, the emperor, stood in the South and accepted the worship of his ministers. Liu Xuan has always been cowardly. Seeing this scene, he was ashamed and sweating. He raised his hand and could not even speak. Therefore, amnesty was granted to the whole world, and the title of the year was set up as "Gengshi", which was called "Gengshi emperor" in history. Liu Liang, the father of the clan, was the third elder of the country, Wang Kuang was the Duke of Ding, Wang Feng was the Duke of Cheng, Zhu Yu was the great Sima, Liu Yan was the great situ, and Chen Mu was the great Sikong.
In May of the first year of reform, Liu Yan captured Wancheng. In June, the reformer emperor entered the capital of Wancheng, and more than 100 people were appointed to the imperial clan and the generals. The emperor was jealous of Liu Yan's prestige, so he killed Liu Yan and made Liu Guanglu Xun his great disciple. Liu Wang, marquis Wu of the former Zhong Dynasty, took over Runan. At that time, Yan you, general Nayan of Wang Mang, and Chen Mao, general zhizong, were defeated in Kunyang, so they went to Liu Wang. In August, Liu Wang established himself as the son of heaven, with Yan you as the great Sima and Chen Mao as the prime minister.
Destroy the new capital
Wang Mang sent Wang Kuang (the sixth son of Wang Mang) and AI Zhang, the general of the state, to guard Luoyang. The reformer emperor sent Kuang, the Duke of Dingguo, to attack Luoyang, sent Shen Tujian, the general of Xiping, and Li Song, the prime minister, to attack Wuguan. At that time, the domestic heroes responded one after another. They all killed the herdsmen and called themselves generals. They used the year of the reform emperor to wait for the imperial edict of the reform emperor. Within a month, the uprising troops spread all over the country.
At this time, someone in Chang'an City attacked Weiyang palace. In September, Gongbin of Donghai people killed Wang Mang in Jiantai, and the new dynasty perished. Gongbin took Wang Mang's seal and sent Wang Mang's head to Wancheng. At that time, the Geng Shi emperor took Wang Mang's head and said happily, "if Wang Mang doesn't steal the throne, his contribution should be the same as that of Huo Guang." "If he is not like this, how can his majesty get his head?" said Mrs. Han, the favorite of the emperor When Emperor music was renewed, Wang Mang's head was hung in Wancheng city. In the same month, he captured Luoyang, captured Wang Kuang and AI Zhang alive, and took them to Wancheng to kill them. In October, Liu Xin, a general of Fenwei, killed Liu Wang in Runan, Yan you and Chen Mao. So the emperor changed his capital to Luoyang, with Liu Ci as the prime minister. Shen Tujian and Li song sent the emperor's vehicles and clothes from Chang'an, and sent zhonghuangmen officials to welcome the emperor to move the capital.
In February of the 24th year of the second year of the reign of emperor Gengshi, the emperor moved his capital to Chang'an from Luoyang to the West. Just starting out, Li SONGFENG leads in front of the horse. Suddenly, the horse runs and bumps into the iron gate of the North Palace. All three horses are killed.
Wantonly crowned king
Later, Li Song and Zhao Meng of Jiyang suggested to the emperor that all meritorious officials should be king. Zhu Yu argued that Liu Bang, the emperor of the Han Dynasty, had an appointment, not that Liu's clan could not be king. After that, Wang Kuang was the king of Biyang, Wang Feng was the king of Yicheng, Zhu Yu was the king of Jiaodong, Zhang ang was the king of Huaiyang, Ting Wei was the king of Deng, and Liao Zhan was the king of she, Shen Tujian is the king of Ping, Hu Yin is the king of Sui, Li Tong is the king of Xiping, Li Yi is the king of Wuyin, Cheng Dan is the king of Xiangyi, Chen Mu is the king of Yinping, song you is the king of Yingyin, and Yin Zun is the king of Yan. Only Zhu tuna said, "I'm not Liu's clan. I dare not violate the Royal system." He refused to accept. So Zhu tuna was appointed zuodasima, and Liu Ci was appointed former Da Sima, so that they and Li Yi, Li Tong, Wang Chang and so on could pacify Guandong. Li song was appointed prime minister, and Zhao Meng was appointed right chief executive to co chair the internal affairs.
Zhao Meng's regime
The reformer took Zhao Meng's daughter, the Zhao family, as his wife. He was very fond of her, so he entrusted Zhao Meng with political affairs. He drank with her in the backyard day and night for fun. When the ministers wanted to play a role in him, the emperor often couldn't meet him because he was drunk. Sometimes, as a last resort, he ordered the servant to sit in the tent and answer. The generals heard that the answer was not the voice of the Gengshi emperor. When they came out, they all complained, "it's not known whether they will succeed or not. Why are they so indulgent?" Mrs. Han is especially fond of drinking. When she attends to the emperor, she often gets angry and says, "the emperor is drinking with me. Why do you choose to play at this time?" He got up and broke the book case. Zhao Meng is a dictator. Some of the Lang officials said that Zhao Meng was indulgent, but the emperor of reform was angry and drew his sword to fight each other. Since then, no one has dared to speak again. Zhao Meng hates his servant and brings him out to kill him. The reformer emperor comes out to save him, but Zhao Meng refuses. At that time, Li Yi and Zhu Yu were autocratic in Shandong, while Wang Kuang and Zhang ang were brutal and tyrannical in Sanfu. The officials and barons they were granted were villains, businessmen, cooks and so on. Many people were wearing embroidered face clothes, brocade trousers, short clothes, or women's big skirts, laughing and scolding on the road. There is a song in Chang'an city which sarcastically says: "under the kitchen stove, Zhonglang general.". Rotten sheep stomach, riding Duwei. Rotten sheep head, Guan neihou. "
Li Shu, the commander-in-chief of the army, wrote a letter to persuade: "now that the bandits have just been wiped out, Wanghua is far from being implemented. All officials and officials in charge of their duties should exercise their duties carefully. The officials of Sangong are the Taisu in the heaven, and the officials of Jiuqing are the rivers and seas in the earth. All these are the duties of replacing heaven with men. Although your majesty decided the emperor's career because of the prosperity of Xiajiang and Pinglin, it was only a temporary factor that could not be used in the world. Now it is urgent to reorganize and reform the system, to recruit heroes from all over the world, to confer titles according to talents, so as to save the kingdom. At present, all the high-ranking officials are usurped by the government and the army. All the high-ranking officials in the book of history were born in mediocrity. They put those mediocre talents who could only be used as leaders and thieves in order to assist the emperor in governing the country and prospering the country. We should know that names and utensils are the most important things that saints attach importance to. Today, what saints attach importance to is added to mediocre people, hoping that they can be of great benefit. To prosper the king and bring about righteousness is to seek fish from wood and go to the mountains to pick pearls. Seeing this situation in the sea, some people have a glimpse of the Han Dynasty. I'm not jealous and disgusted that I want to be promoted. I really feel sorry for your Majesty's move. It should be carefully considered to corrupt the good timber and the rich brocade. Only by abandoning the absurd mistakes of the past, can we prosper the virtue of King Wen of the Zhou Dynasty In a rage, the reformer ordered Li Shu to be arrested and jailed. Since then, Guanzhong has been centrifugal, and all sides have resented and rebelled. The generals set up their own cronies to serve as prefectures and prefectures. In this way, the prefectures and prefectures crisscrossed and did not know what to follow. In December, the red eyebrow army entered the West pass.
The red eyebrow army rises
In the first month of the third year (25th year) of the reign of the Qing Dynasty, the Pingling people named ruziying (Liu Ying), the emperor of the late Western Han Dynasty, as the emperor. At first, Fang Wang saw the political chaos of the reformer emperor and speculated that he would be defeated. He told Gong Lin of anling: "Liu Ying, the former Duke of Ding'an, was the heir of emperor Ping of Han Dynasty. Although Wang Mang usurped the throne, Liu Ying was once the leader of Han Dynasty. Now people say that Liu's lineage should be appointed emperor. I want to build up great achievements with you. What do you think? " Gong Lin and others agreed. So in
