Chapter 104 Chapter 6 Goodbye Wang Mang

On the second day of September, the fierce battle in Chang'an became more fierce. The people in the city rebelled for fear of being captured by the Han army, and they joined the Han army. The door was set on fire, and the small door of the Dharma Hall was split open with a sharp axe. The Han army rushed in, setting fire all the way and shouting: "The rebel Wang Mang, why don't you come down?" Wang Mang was saddened when he heard the call, woohoo, you snobbish and unscrupulous people, you used to call him His Majesty when he ruled the world, but now that he is at the end of the day, you immediately turn your face and call him a traitor.Seeing that the general situation is gone, the women in the palace around shouted: "What can I do!" Wang Mang didn't sleep or eat all night. He was exhausted, but his expression was calm and composed, and said: "He was born with virtue, so what should the Han soldiers do!"

Wang Mang is in charge of talking and hands-on, all in Wang Yi.Wang Yi fought hard all day yesterday, and today he has no leisure, leading the crowd to resist the tide-like attack of the Han army.Street fighting continued from day to night.In the early morning of September 3rd, Wang Yi's soldiers were all killed or injured. Wang Yi knew that he was powerless, so he ordered someone to inform Wang Mang to retreat to Jiantai.He also walked while fighting, rushing to Jiantai. When the ministers received the news from Wang Yi, regardless of Wang Mang's objection, they forcibly erected Wang Mang, withdrew from the front hall, and left the Baihu Gate to the west.

There is Cangchi in the southwest of Weiyang Palace, with an area of ​​about 200,000 square meters today. Jiantai was built in the water of Cangchi. It is an artificial rockery with pavilions and pavilions on it, where Wang Mang usually rests and drinks.When Wang Mang arrived at Jiantai, there were still more than a thousand people in his entourage, including Gong, Qing, Dafu, Shizhong, and Huangmenlang.Coincidentally, Wang Yi also came to join the meeting, and the monarch and his ministers were weeping relative to each other.Wang Mu, the son of Wang Yi, took off his clothes and tried to escape, but Wang Yi sternly reprimanded him, and died for his Majesty.Wang Mu was so ashamed that he didn't dare to raise his head.

Wang Yi ordered to set fire to the bridge.The fire broke out and the bridge broke. When the Han army chased to Cangchi, everyone was jealous, and everyone wanted to put Wang Mang's head in their pockets.Obviously, whoever kills Wang Mang will be famous in history, but this thing is not affordable and has no appeal to them. What they really care about is that once they kill Wang Mang, they will immediately have a life that they can't enjoy forever. Prosperity and wealth. Wang Mang is just in front of Jiantai, only a few dozen feet away.The bridge leading to Jiantai had been burned, so the Han army looked for boats everywhere, rowing the boats and rushing towards Jiantai. The more impatient Han army simply jumped into the water, wading forward, trampling each other, lest they be left behind. .

Wang Mang saw it from a distance, and sighed to Wang Yi: It seems that they really want to kill me.Wang Yi reluctantly comforted him and said: Your Majesty is blessed by God, and will be able to overcome this difficulty.Wang Mang smiled, not believing it.After all, Jiantai is a castle in the water, not a castle in the air, and the Han army will always have a way to approach it.They are already the turtles in the urn, even if the Han army does not attack, they can starve to death if they are hungry.No one will come to rescue them, the whole Chang'an is their enemy, the whole world is their enemy.

Seeing the Han army approaching gradually, Wang Yi shouted: Shoot the arrows!All of a sudden, bows and crossbows were fired at once, and dozens of Han troops shot down with arrows.The Han army retreated a little, and soon charged again.Arrows were released on the platform, and the Han army retreated again.After three rounds, the stage was exhausted and there was no way to shoot again. The Han army landed and fought hand to hand.Wang Mang entered the house to hide, while Wang Yi led the crowd to fight.The Han army continued to flow, and it would soon gradually turn Taiwan into a slaughterhouse. Including Wang Yi and his son, more than a thousand officials of the new dynasty who still followed Wang Mang in the end, all died for the country, and no one was spared.

The Han army searched Jiantai and cleaned the battlefield.Du Wu, a businessman from Chang'an, walked to a small pavilion in the northwest of Jiantai, kicked in the door, and saw an old man sitting inside.Du Wu didn't know that this old man was Wang Mang at all, he only felt that this old man's clothes were different from others, but he didn't think much about it.Seeing the old man looking at him, he panicked, and unconsciously thrust out the sword in his hand. Wang Mang sighed with relief, the moment he was waiting for finally arrived.After Du Wu stabbed Wang Mang with his sword, seeing that Wang Mang didn't yell or scold, but instead looked satisfied, his heart suddenly felt weak, and he wanted to draw his sword and run away. Wang Mang grabbed his hand tightly and asked, "Who are you?"Du Wu reported his name.Wang Mang looked very disappointed, Du Wu?I have never heard of it, it seems that it is just a small role, and I asked again: What do you do?Du Wu replied: "Businessman."Wang Mang became more and more disappointed, and said with a wry smile, "Oh, it turned out to be a bitch." The merchant's status was the lowest at that time, and he died at the hands of such a bitch, of course he was wronged and unwilling. How dare you greet other emperors?

Du Wu said angrily: I'm sorry for making you laugh.After speaking, he drew his sword vigorously.Wang Mang had no strength left, so he could only allow Du Wu to pull out the sword.Du Wu drew his sword in his hand and poked at Wang Mang indiscriminately.Wang Mang was speechless, he just stared at Du Wu dissatisfied: It's not that I won't let you poke, why are you so anxious!If you want to poke, poke well, don't poke randomly.Gradually, he didn't even feel dissatisfied, his eyes could not be opened anymore, he was too sleepy, he hadn't slept for a long time, now, he was finally free, relieved, he could finally have a good sleep, And never have to wake up.

Du Wu killed Wang Mang, checked the body, and saw the ribbon around Wang Mang's waist. After untiing it, he pulled it out and pulled out a heavy seal bag.Du Wu was overjoyed, he knew it must be a big treasure just by weighing its weight.There were Han troops everywhere, and Du Wu didn't dare to open the seal bag to take a closer look, for fear that others would snatch it from him if they saw it, so he hurriedly put it in his arms, forced himself to be calm, and ran out with his head down. Du Wu didn't run a few steps, when he bumped into the school captain and guest.The public guest saw a corner of the ribbon exposed outside Du Wu's clothes, and his eyes lit up immediately, so he stopped Du Wu and asked, "Where is the Lord?"After finishing speaking, he tried to run again, but Gongbin cut Du Wu to death with a sword, and took out the seal bag from Du Wu's arms.The public guest had shortness of breath and his hands trembled. It took him a long time to untie the seal bag. At the opening of the seal bag, a ray of jade light soared into the sky. It really was the legendary Jade Seal!

The public guest mockingly looked at Du Wu, a small businessman lying at his feet, dying with regret, oh, you lucky bastard, the most precious treasure in China since ancient times, was once held in your arms, and you actually owned it , although only for a few minutes.However, you are an unlucky bastard, you have no idea what you have in your arms, you have no idea how happy you are. The official guest killed Du Wu, took away the Chuanguo Yuxi, and according to Du Wu's instructions, he found a corpse in the Southwest Pavilion. Although he didn't know Wang Mang, he immediately concluded that it must be Wang Mang when he saw the attire.The public guest restrained his inner excitement, knelt down in front of Wang Mang's body, drew out his sword, cut off Wang Mang's head with one sword after another, held the head in his hand, and then told the soldiers beside him, "This is Wang Mang."

The soldiers suddenly realized that they were too late to regret.However, although Wang Mang's head is already in the hands of the public, as long as he can snatch a small piece of Wang Mang's body, he can get some rewards.So dozens of people rushed forward, Han Bing A chopped off his legs, Han Bing cut off his hands, Han Bing C dismantled his bones, and Han Bing D ripped out his heart... In an instant, Wang Mang's body was divided into pieces, leaving an empty space on the ground. Beach bloody viscera.The Han army who didn't grab the corpse cried, while the Han army who grabbed the corpse held up the flesh and blood in their hands, ran wildly and shouted for joy. Wang Mang is dead. He was sixty-nine years old and reigned for fifteen years.In the nearly two thousand years since then, he has been regarded as a sinner through the ages and cannot stand up.It was not until modern times that the emperor no longer sat in the court, and the evaluation of Wang Mang gradually became more positive and fair.Among them, the evaluation of Wang Mang by the Westerner Rose Trier-"the bird of socialism that heralds the spring in advance in the cold winter of feudalism"-is the most sad and tragic. Wang Mang, the primrose, died in the cold winter and couldn't wait for spring.If winter comes, can spring be far behind?The answer is, far, far, far, far away...
