Chapter 1: I Transmigrated as Wang Mang's Son
"This is a world that has been played with." In the golden and resplendent palace, a child who looked like he was only five or six years old muttered to himself.
Xiao Zhengtao's name is Wang Yu. He is the crown prince of the new dynasty.
The Xin dynasty was a Chinese imperial dynasty which lasted from 9 AD to 23 AD. The Xin regime, which is also known as the New Dynasty, was founded by the former regent Wang Mang of the Han dynasty. It is considered an interregnum period of the Han dynasty by historians.
And Wang Yu made such a strange sigh because Wang Yu was a traverser.
Comrade Wang Yu was born in New China and grew up under the red flag, he is an excellent young man who has five virtues, four beauties and three loves. Except for a bad habit that all men have - being a bit of a ladies' man. Cough, got off track.
Wang Yu was a person who knew a lot about the Xin Dynasty in later generations. The reason why he knew so much about the Xin Dynasty is that Wang Mang's illegitimate son in history was called Wang Yu. The historical Wang Yu was an unlucky child, because he disagreed with Wang Mang's political views and sympathized with the Han dynasty, trying to persuade Wang Mang to repent through supernatural means. And Wang Mang was ruthless enough, directly killing Wang Yu without hesitation. People say that a tiger does not eat its own son, but Wang Mang was even more cruel than a tiger, never hesitating to kill his own sons. It has been passed down for generations that Wang Mang personally ordered the execution of his three sons.
And the second reason why Wang Yu is concerned about the new dynasty is Wang Mang himself. In later generations, although the new dynasty was not well-known, the founder of the new dynasty, Wang Mang, had a great reputation in certain circles. Wang Mang was called a failed time-traveler. Because Wang Mang left many unsolved mysteries in history, his actions could not be explained by common sense at that time.
For example, Wang Mang encouraged scientific experimentation and invention. At present, the academic community recognizes that the period of Wang Mang was an important period in the development history of ancient Chinese science and technology that cannot be ignored. During this period, science and technology developed rapidly.
Furthermore, Wang Mang stipulated that land was nationalized and private individuals were not allowed to buy or sell land. Each person had 100 mu of land; if they had more than that, it would be confiscated, and if they had less, the state would provide compensation. This was a thorough land reform in ancient times.
In addition, Wang Mang was extremely hateful of the slave system and even prohibited the buying and selling of slaves after he became emperor. This behavior was simply unimaginable in ancient times.
There are many more, such as Wang Mang's economic policies were planned economic policies, government-controlled prices and so on.
These actions and thoughts are beyond comprehension.
Wang Mang's ideas absolutely should not have appeared at that time, because his ideas were completely disconnected from the social productive forces and development level of that era!
Wang Mang himself was born into a wealthy family and received a closed Confucian education from an early age. In a feudal society, the emergence of Wang Mang's thoughts is absolutely abnormal! Therefore, many people in later generations believed that Wang Mang was a time-traveler.
Unfortunately, being ahead by half a step is genius, but being ahead by one step is madness. What's more, Wang Mang was not just ahead by one step, he was ahead by nearly two thousand years.
So, the traverser Wang Mang was crushed by Liu Xiu, the son of the current plane, and ultimately ended in failure. He inadvertently helped Liu Xiu achieve his title as "Great Devil Master".
This statement has a market in some historical forums where enthusiasts gather, and many history buffs firmly believe it. Wang Yu was also once a staunch supporter of this statement.
It wasn't until Wang Yu crossed over and spent six years that he finally figured out what was going on in this world and what his cheap old man was all about.
It turned out that his cheap dad, Wang Mang, was not a time-traveler. He just had good luck and merged with a soul from the future. That soul had long lost its spirituality, only having a vast amount of information from later generations.
It's also Wang Mang's misfortune that the future soul he merged with wasn't a soul like Wang Yu, who had been bombarded by the internet in later generations. Instead, it was the soul of a small soldier from the 1970s who made a fuss about revolution. The little soldier was so firm in his beliefs and pure in his thoughts, his spiritual realm was much higher than Wang Yu's. He was a staunch supporter of socialism, yet he led Wang Mang astray like this.
If that were the case, Wang Yu wouldn't have found it strange either. After all, he had been mentally prepared for a long time. Compared to Wang Mang being a transmigrator, this wasn't an unacceptable situation. However, what made Wang Yu feel like fate was playing tricks on him was that this wasn't a purely historical plane of existence; it was a mixed bag of history and martial arts.
As far as Wang Yu knows now, because of Wang Mang's usurpation of the Han Dynasty, the world is in great chaos. Local generals have risen up in arms to rebel. The Han has lost its dominance, and the world is united in driving it out. Among them, the two most famous rebellions are led by Li Yuan, Duke of Tang, and Yang Tingxian, leader of the Mingjiao.
This world, Jianghu and the imperial court are connected exceptionally closely. Behind Tang Guogong Li Yuan is the spiritual pillar of Zhengdao, Ci Hang Jing Zhai, who supports him from behind, while Mingjiao doesn't need to be said, it's a thorough Jianghu gate school, but the Mingjiao gang has strict military discipline, brave and good at fighting, very difficult to deal with.
Thus, Wang Mang was deceived.
This isn't going according to script. You see, that little soldier is from the 1970s, and back then, there was no such thing as martial arts novels. The little soldier has no idea what's going on here. Moreover, in the little soldier's memory, history wasn't distorted like this. Li Yuan rebelled during the Sui dynasty, but this is years ahead of schedule.
Relying on Xiao Bing's memory, Wang Mang finally completed the usurpation of the Han Dynasty and achieved the first step in liberating all of Da Han. However, success is due to Xiao Bing, and failure is also due to Xiao Bing. Because there was no record of this chaotic history and the martial arts world in Xiao Bing's memories, Wang Mang's behavior after completing the usurpation became extremely foolish, and he became a completely different person from before.
Because of the unknown, there is fear. Wang Mang was afraid and did not know how to face this world he did not understand. So he made one mistake after another, leading to rebellions breaking out everywhere, and flames engulfing the entire country.
At this time, Wang Yu was born. (The age is different from the historical records, please ignore it.) So, history becomes more confusing.
Wang Yu is a soul who has crossed over into this world. After learning that his cheap father was Wang Mang, Wang Yu was initially very happy. Once he could speak, Wang Yu took advantage of his identity as the crown prince of the new dynasty to have Liu Xiu killed ahead of time, attempting to strangle the danger in its cradle. As a result, history was thoroughly disrupted.
But soon Wang Yu knew that he had done useless work, after hearing the familiar names of Demon King, Yin Hou, Ci Hang Jing Zhai, Ming Jiao, Wu Dang, Shaolin and so on. Not only did Wang Yu not lose hope, but he became even more excited.
Martial arts are great, I like the martial arts world, and I especially like this mixed-up martial arts world.
The beauties in the martial arts world, must wait for me to grow up. After I grow up, I will definitely build a big harem and collect all of you.
In this world, there can be many female protagonists, but there can only be one male protagonist. As for the other male protagonists, let them go die or something. Who cares about them.
In the depths of the palace courtyard, a young man thought without shame or haste.
