Control the ancestors and create an immortal family starting from the Qin Dynasty

"Let him go." Zhang Wei said these four words lightly.

Wang Mang has already achieved this.

They wanted to stop it but couldn't.

We can only let Wang Mang continue.

Wang Mang is now in power.

He is now at the peak of his popularity.

If we take action against Wang Mang now, the gains will outweigh the losses.

It would be better to let him lose himself in power.

Only by making Wang Mang arrogant and conceited can he reveal his flaws.

Wang Mang had spent decades building a good reputation that was impeccable.

Everyone around him thought that Wang Mang was a sage king.

If Wang Mang could become emperor, it would be good for them all.

In addition, Wang Mang was indeed very generous and especially kind to the people around him.

This also led to the people around Wang Mang being completely loyal to him.

He has many followers and many people who depend on him.

If you act rashly, you will end up losing more than you gain.

Say.

He also had no intention of letting the Zhang family get involved in this matter.

Naturally someone will put things right.

All he had to do was wait quietly for the son of destiny to grow up.

After the other party grows up, he will infiltrate the other party's rebel army.

Then assist the son of destiny.

Let him retake the Han Dynasty.

Let the Han Dynasty stand before the world again.

"Really not taking action!" Zhang Shengjie was a little surprised.

He had previously thought that Zhang Wei thought highly of the big man.

If Zhang Wei didn't value Dahan, he wouldn't have let him return to the capital.

I thought Zhang Wei would be able to turn the tide, or let him do something.

After all, he is a general of cavalry.

He still has a certain amount of military power.

If he transferred the troops back from the border, we would be without the ability to fight.

But Zhang Wei didn't seem to intend to get involved in this matter.

Zhang Wei's purpose made Zhang Shengjie a little confused.

Zhang Wei actually thinks so highly of the big man, why doesn't he take action?
Do we really want Wang Mang to usurp the Han Dynasty?

Wang Mang’s surname was not Liu.

If this country is not named Liu, can it still be considered the Han Dynasty?
Zhang Wei naturally understood Zhang Shengjie's doubts.

"Wang Mang will never amount to anything."

"He is not young anymore, and he just wants to hold on to power right now, and has no intention of usurping the throne!"

"It is not right for us to attack him."

"Of course, others will definitely not be happy about this. We just need to wait quietly. When the time is right, someone will naturally appear to oppose Wang Mang."

What Zhang Wei said was mysterious and magical.

Zhang Shengjie had no way to refute.

He sighed quietly.

Sit back in the recliner, drinking a little wine and eating delicious food.

"never mind."

"Since you have no interest in the Liu family, I will not get involved in this matter!"

"I have almost done what you asked me to do before. The Tianxia Restaurant in the capital has begun to withdraw completely!"

"Shops are also steadily moving outwards!"

"Wang Mang has been furious recently and might take action against the Zhang family!"

"I'll move them out first. If Wang Mang finds out, all he gets is an empty shell. Do you think he'll be angry?"

Zhang Shengjie said to Zhang Wei with a sly smile.

Following Zhang Wei’s previous guess.

If Wang Mang really wanted to usurp the throne.

He would certainly need a lot of money.

A large number of soldiers are also needed.

These soldiers all need money to support.

What do they eat without money?
Where do war horses come from?

With so much money, Wang Mang certainly couldn't sustain it.

He will definitely set his sights on Zhang's Business.

Before Wang Mang takes action against Zhang Jiashang.

He must withdraw Zhang's business from Kyoto as soon as possible.

He would not leave a single penny for Wang Mang.

Zhang Wei looked at Zhang Shengjie and they smiled at each other.

……

at the same time.

In the capital city.

After Wang Mang became famous, he began to act without any scruples.

Thinking about his future plans, Wang Mang prepared to take action against the Zhang family.

He is short of money now.

Especially short of money.

The richest family in the Han Dynasty was the Zhang family.

As long as we can take down the Zhang family trading company in Kyoto.

He will definitely make a fortune and even have the capital to maintain an army?
"My lord, everything is ready."

"These are some of the evidence we found. We have already prepared all the evidence."

"The military department has made preparations. The four city gates have been completely blocked. They will definitely not be able to escape!"

The people around Wang Mang nodded at him.

They are already prepared.

The city gates were also completely blocked by them.

The Zhang family will definitely not be able to escape.

Thinking of the wealth of Zhang's business, these people couldn't help but feel excited.

They had heard some rumors.

I have even heard of the wealth of the Zhang family business during the reign of Emperor Wu.

At that time, the Zhang family business was rich enough to rival a country.

The wealth taken out from Zhang's Trading Company was enough to fill the void in the national treasury.

Such a huge fortune.

If they could use it, they would be able to raise a group of powerful armies.

If the Han Dynasty could raise such an army, it would surely be invincible?
They can also complete their plans ahead of time.

"The Zhang family hasn't discovered it, right?" Wang Mang said to the people around him.

The people of the Zhang family are particularly cunning.

If they heard any rumors.

They may transfer their wealth as soon as possible.

All this money is his.

He could not allow any losses.

"Don't worry, sir, we have already prepared everything."

"Even their retreat was cut off!"

"There's no way they could escape, let alone take action!"

The person next to him said it with confidence.

All four city gates were blocked by them.

They still have people watching over at Zhang's Commercial Bank.

So far.

They found nothing unusual.

Now is definitely the best time to take action.

Wang Mang looked at the other person and nodded at him.

Indicates that the plan can be carried out.

When the other party saw Wang Mang nod, he immediately suppressed his excitement and led his men straight to Zhang's Trading Company.

Just as they were on their way to Zhang's Business, someone immediately reported the matter to Zhang Wei and Zhang Shengjie.

"Master, your previous guess was correct. Wang Mang did take action against the Zhang family business. They have sent people to seal all the city gates."

"They even sent people to watch outside the Zhang Family Business. It seems that they are determined to fight us to the death!"

The person who came to report this had a somewhat excited voice when he said this.

They haven't seen a good show in a long time.

They have been preparing for this great show for a long time.

Just waiting for the Wang family to fall into the trap.

In fact, they couldn't see through Wang Mang.

Wang Mang was a somewhat contradictory person.

Although he is bloodthirsty and murderous, he is also very good to his brothers.

He even takes special care of his wife and sister-in-law.

Even the other sons of the Wang family were able to grow up safely under Wang Mang's care.

But Wang Mang was very cruel to his own son.

It's only been a few years.

Wang Mang had already sacrificed several of his own children.

He let his eldest daughter enter the palace as queen.

All matters were handled by Wang Mang alone, and his eldest daughter was just a puppet queen with no rights at all.

And his two sons.

His eldest and second sons were all forced to death by him.

All his sons lived under Wang Mang's shadow.

They didn't dare to move now, and didn't dare to discuss anything about Wang Mang.

Go on like this.

Wang Mang's son will be of no use.

He would not even inherit Wang Mang's position.

They didn't know the purpose of Wang Mang's doing this.

In their view, Wang Mang was digging his own grave.

But they can't ask about it.

He could only watch Wang Mang go crazy.

Now seeing Wang Mang preparing to attack the Zhang family, they were excited and ready to watch the show.

Before Wang Mang took action, their family had already transferred the wealth of Zhang's Commercial Bank out.

It's not just Zhang's Business.

The managers of Tianxia Restaurant and major shops have already left with the money.

All that's left is an empty shell.

Even if Wang Mang captured him, he wouldn't be able to find a single hair.

The head of the family never thought of leaving any money for Wang Mang.

"Keep staring!"

"If there is anything, report it immediately!"

Zhang Shengjie waved at him.

After this person left, Zhang Shengjie looked at Zhang Wei with a smile.

"Just like you said, they really fell into the trap!"

"interesting!"

Zhang Wei raised the corners of his lips slightly.

Why didn’t Wang Mang learn his lesson?
Even if you hold great power, you should still be on guard.

How could you be so careless?
no doubt.

Wang Mang's action ended in failure.

He didn't get anything useful from Zhang's Trading Company.

When I entered Zhang's Trading Company, I was greeted with an empty shell.

Everything inside was moved away by Zhang's Business.

After Wang Mang learned about this.

I almost got pissed off.

But he couldn't say it yet.

I can only swallow my anger.

Ever since he suffered a setback at the hands of the Zhang family, he had no intention of continuing to take action.

Instead, we should prepare to take it step by step.

Originally, he wanted to kill Liu Xin after getting the Zhang family's wealth.

Then appoint a new king.

Then he could let the emperor give up his position to him, and he would become the rightful ruler of the world.

But the Zhang family ruined his plan.

Thinking of the mess he had on his hands.

Wang Mang had no intention of continuing.

Instead, let them all withdraw.

He didn't even go after the people from Zhang's Trading Company who had left Kyoto.

The Zhang family already knows about this.

Of course I won't be unprepared.

If he bumped up again, he would seem a little stupid.

In order to inherit the throne.

Wang Mang also tried his best.

After he returned to the mansion.

He began to protect his reputation.

In the court, he was an honest and upright official.

Moreover, they are efficient and effective in getting things done.

It actually alleviated the collapse of the Han Dynasty to a certain extent.

Zhang Shengjie was stunned.

This guy is really capable.

Other things done did indeed bring certain benefits to the Han Dynasty.

When Zhang Shengjie saw this situation, he wondered if Zhang Wei had guessed wrong.
Wang Mang seems to be a famous official.

He seems to be quite loyal to Liu Xin.

Zhang Shengjie is an official appointed by the imperial court.

Naturally, I won’t stay idle at home.

Wang Mang had tried his best, so naturally he had to do something for the Han Dynasty.

He was the General of Cavalry.

When he had nothing to do, he would lead his troops out to suppress bandits.

To a certain extent, it also strengthened the strength of the Han army.

Several years passed in this peaceful manner.

9 AD.

Natural disasters continued to strike the Han Dynasty.

People everywhere are living in poverty.

Resulting in refugees everywhere.

Rebel armies also kept appearing.

These people constantly threaten the stability of the Han Dynasty.

Wang Mang looked at the rebels and the constant natural disasters and felt that his time had come.

Many people think that the Han Dynasty should restore the system of abdication.

Because the emperor has no virtue and no talent.

Natural disasters occurred during his reign, which is what the emperor meant.

If the Liu family continues to occupy the country, the Han Dynasty will surely be doomed.

So someone suggested that the station be located in Anhan Gong.

Wanted Wang Mang to become the ruler of the Han Dynasty.

When this message reached Kyoto, Wang Mang felt that his opportunity had come, so he made full use of it.

Then spread the rumor that he is the child of destiny.

He is the person sent by God to save the Han people.

He also sent people to Kyoto to offer their life talismans!

These astrological theories all say that Wang Mang was endowed with the energy of a dragon, and was the absolute ruler of the world.

If Wang Mang could become the ruler of the world.

It will definitely reverse the Han Dynasty's decline.

Let the Han people regain vitality.

Let the people live and work in peace and contentment.

Let everyone have enough food and warm clothing.

Under such lobbying, coupled with Wang Mang's extensive use of it.

March 9, 1 AD.

Wang Mang felt that his time had come, so he forced the Queen Mother Wang Zhengjun to hand over the imperial seal and accept the abdication of Emperor Ruzi Ying before becoming emperor.

This series of operations was carried out very smoothly.

It only took about a month.

Wang Mang was ready.

After accepting the young emperor's abdication, Wang Mang immediately went to Emperor Gaozu's temple to pay homage, took the royal crown and ascended the throne, changing the country's name to Xin.

Wang Mang was 54 years old at the time.

When Wang Mang ascended the throne.

The whole court supported it.

With the support of the people, Wang Mang ascended to the highest authority.

Zhang Shengjie was stunned by Wang Mang's actions.

He thought Wang Mang would force His Majesty to abdicate in other ways.

Since Liu Xin passed away.

They felt that there was something fishy going on.

I just don't intend to get involved in it.

The matter was not investigated.

Allow Wang Mang to do whatever he wants.

After Liu Xin's death, Wang Mang indeed made Ru Ziying the emperor.

Ruziying was only a two-year-old child.

do not understand anything.

He is only seven years old now.

Wang Mang could easily control it.

He even thought that Wang Mang would send troops to suppress it.

Then he seized the military power and forced the emperor to abdicate.

But what Zhang Shengjie never expected was that Wang Mang actually chose to win without bloodshed.

Let people spread the word about how special his fate is.

It really worked.

Under Wang Mang's suppression, Ruzi Ying had no choice but to abdicate the throne.

In this way, Wang Mang became the emperor of the Han Dynasty with full legitimacy.

This operation surprised Zhang Shengjie.

After Zhang Shengjie returned to the mansion, he was about to bring up this matter with Zhang Wei.

Zhang Wei is already a young boy today.

Some are as old as eleven or twelve years old.

She is tall and has a face as white as jade.

He looks like a gentle young man.

Zhang Shengjie looked at Zhang Wei now, a hint of satisfaction revealed on his face, then he walked over and sat on a stone bench not far away.

"Have you heard about what happened in the court?"

"Wang Mang has ascended the throne and changed the country's name to Xin!"

"Should we start our plan now?"

He had done this to prevent himself from being suppressed by Wang Mang's army.

People not far away have been brought outside the imperial city to be on guard.

But who could have expected that Wang Mang would choose such a means of abdication.

Not a single soldier wasted.

He got the throne.

This is truly a first.

Even Zhang Shengjie had to admire Wang Mang.

This move was absolutely brilliant.

"Father, I should go out and travel!"

Just as Zhang Shengjie was talking about court affairs with great interest, Zhang Wei suddenly spoke.

When Zhang Shengjie heard this, his body immediately stiffened.

He turned his head and looked at Zhang Wei: "Can't I just not go?"

"We are now a powerful force. Wang Mang is no longer a threat to us. Why should we give in?" (End of this chapter)
