In his early years, Wang Mang gradually entered the power center of the Western Han Dynasty with superb political means. At the end of the Western Han Dynasty, the emperor was fatuous, the eunuchs were autocratic, and the people were miserable. At this time, as a powerful minister, Wang Mang stepped forward to stabilize the situation, with great power and ambition. In December of the first year, Wang Mang abandoned the emperor and stood on his own feet. After Wang Mang ascended the throne, on the one hand, he carried out his new dynasty reform, on the other hand, he began to kill his children one by one.
Wang Mang is also a cruel person. He killed his two sons one after another. Once his eldest son, Wang Huo, killed a slave by mistake. In order to establish his own image, Wang Mang even tried to buy people's hearts by executing his own son. Similarly, his second son, Wang Lin, was killed by him for having an affair with others. In order to let the whole world know that he is an upright man, Wang Mang sacrificed his son's life. Such an out-and-out hypocrite is doomed to fail to make the country peaceful and secure.
Wang Mang's new dynasty didn't last for a few years, and the Red Eyebrow Army in the outlaw hero began to rebel. In 23 AD, outlaws attacked Chang 'an, and Wang Mang was captured. At this time, dozens of soldiers cut it together. In its heyday, Wang Mang also paid a painful price for his behavior.
