Brother Liu was suspicious.
Wang Mang is known as the first time traveler in history.
Bringing in all kinds of advanced ideas should lead to some optimized reforms, and should bring peace and prosperity to the country for a period of time.
but.
Why does the surrounding environment not look peaceful at all? Brother Liu was walking on the street.
I saw an old man holding copper coins and buying food.
But after the old man took the bag of grain, he broke down and cried, "I used to buy a bushel of rice for two coins, but now it costs fifty coins. How can we survive?"
Liu Di noticed that the copper coins handed over by the old man were exactly the currency unified after Wang Mang proclaimed himself emperor, named "Daquan Fifty" and made of bronze.
But he changed the currency system. What two coins could buy now cost twenty-five times more! Confused, Liu asked the old man, "Don't you have any land to farm? Didn't Emperor Wang Mang divide the land equally?"
Tears welled up in the old man's eyes, and he said in despair, "He proposed a policy of equal distribution of land, but there is no supervision. The land is withheld by corrupt officials and it is difficult to distribute it to the people. This is worse than before! It's not so bad in Chang'an City, but in more remote areas, many people are starving to death!"
Brother Liu frowned.
Was there something wrong with Wang Mang's system? Or was it because it was out of date? Suddenly, Liu Di discovered that the old man still had some copper coins from the old dynasty that he couldn't spend.
Brother Liu looked around himself, then took off the pendant from his waist and handed it to the old man. "I'd like to exchange this jade pendant for one old coin and one new coin, okay?"
The old man's eyes lit up, knowing that the jade pendant was worth much more than two copper coins, so he gladly exchanged it, and then ran away with tears of gratitude holding the jade pendant! Brother Liu held the two copper coins, one on the left and one on the right, weighing them slightly to feel the weight.
His brows furrowed and then relaxed, realizing the problem! Liu Di sighed.
Wang Mang's Xin Dynasty, sandwiched between the Western Han Dynasty and the Eastern Han Dynasty, is known as the shortest dynasty in history, lasting only a dozen years!
Now it seems that this new dynasty has a lot of problems! It is normal for it to fall so quickly!
but.
This is not within my jurisdiction, the rebel Liu Xiu will handle it.
But the next moment, there was a commotion of soldiers and horses behind Brother Liu.
I saw a group of soldiers holding long knives on the old man's neck and surrounding Liu Di in an instant.
The jade pendant that Liu Di had exchanged with the old man was now in the hands of an officer.
The old man was already trembling with fear, pointing at Liu Di and saying: "My Lords, it was he who gave me this jade pendant, this matter has nothing to do with me"
But the leading officer had a gloomy face as he looked at Liu Di and fumbled with the jade pendant in his hand.
The jade pendant is of average value and nothing special. It is commonly worn with Hanfu.
But next to the jade pendant, there was a small sachet, which was embroidered by Zhaojun for Liu Di, with the word "Xiu" written on it.
That represents the name of Liu Di that was mistakenly heard by Zhaojun - Liu Xiu.
The soldier looked up at Liu Di fiercely, "What's your last name?"
Brother Liu was a little puzzled and puffed out his chest and said, "How about the surname Liu?"
"Oh my goodness, another Liu Xiu!"
"Someone, catch him!"
The leading officer roared, and a group of infantrymen rushed up, with their swords directly on Liu Di's neck!
The demon boy said: "We have only crossed 30 years, and the ability should be reached soon!"
Brother Liu was startled.
That is to say, I am just an ordinary person at the moment.
Liu Di calmed down and asked, "Why did you arrest me?"
The leading officer threw the old man to the ground and said, "We'll take you to see the emperor!"
"Um?"
Brother Liu's expression changed.
Go see Wang Mang?
This is quite interesting! Could it be that the historical rumor is true ?
Liu Di looked calm, with a big knife on his neck, and walked in Chang'an City, heading straight for the palace.
However, a soldier who looked friendly whispered to him, "Brother, I know you are wronged, but you can only accept your fate. Since the emperor ascended the throne, he has ordered to find all people named Liu Xiu, and then he will personally meet them, but in the end, there is only one result for those 'Liu Xiu', that is, all of them were beheaded! We don't know why!"
Liu Di smiled, "I might know."
But in the next moment.
Brother Liu suddenly "encountered" Gu Fan's mark.
Gu Fan was seen walking on the side, pretending to be in handcuffs and shackles, with a pout on his face.
It seems that her destination is also the palace.
Brother Liu was stunned.
What is Gu Fan reminding me of? Could it be that Wang Mang is the event I want to correct?
Along the way, many people sighed and admired, with expressions of pity on their faces.
Another young man is going to die unjustly! Moment.
Brother Liu has arrived at the palace, facing a huge wooden door with an imposing manner.
It was once the Han Palace and it was once the Changle Palace.
It's just that the king has changed.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
With a creaking sound.
The door was pushed open.
Sitting on the throne in front of me was a man who was about 40 years old and had a weathered look on his face.
He was wearing an imperial robe, but he exuded a gloomy aura greater than that of an emperor.
When he saw Brother Liu being escorted in, he originally wanted to scare him first, but after squinting his eyes for a moment, he was suddenly shocked!
"It's you!"
“It’s you!”
Middle-aged Wang Mang slammed the table and stood up!
He didn't even care about his status as an emperor, walked down from the throne, opened his eyes wide, and circled around Liu Di.
Even the soldiers around were caught off guard!
What happened to the emperor? Wang Mang screamed, "You are also called Liu Xiu!!!"
"hehe."
Brother Liu chuckled, didn't explain, just nodded slowly.
The face of the middle-aged man opposite can still vaguely reflect the shadow of the little boy in his childhood, but now he is no longer innocent, and his hands are stained with countless blood!
Wang Mang showed his vulgar side. He lifted up his dragon robe and slapped his thigh repeatedly, repeating, "Your name is Liu Xiu!"
"Hahaha!"
Wang Mang was still in the middle of nowhere, looking up to the sky and laughing: "I have always felt that you are different from others. Now it has been 37 years, and your appearance has not changed!"
"It seems that this world is not simple. My dreams are not empty. I can really see the future!"
“I’m doing the right thing!”
"Hahaha!"
Wang Mang almost went crazy. After laughing for a while, he suddenly stopped, frowned, and gritted his teeth and said, "So, my future is also determined?"
Liu Di just stared at him quietly.
But seeing that this man's eye sockets were deep and dark, I'm afraid he has been unable to sleep and eat for a long time! Brother Liu has already guessed it.
Wang Mang can see a point in the future through a dream!
Therefore, he was able to learn the measures for governing a country that would be used hundreds of years later.
But same.
He could probably see his own end, even if he was beheaded in public by the rebel Liu Xiu, and the Xin Dynasty ended! But Wang Mang's emotions fluctuated like a mental patient at this time, and a hint of ferocity appeared in his eyes when he looked at Liu Di. "I was born to create a new dynasty, and I was enlightened by you."
"But guess what I dreamed about?"
Wang Mang approached Liu Di and looked him in the eye. "I dreamed of a man named Liu Xiu, who was later called the Son of the Plane. He dared to resist me, and during the battle, he called for meteorites to fall from the sky and destroy my army!"
"I also dreamed of a strange set of words."
"It is said that my existence violates the rules of history, and something called the World System has sent Liu Xiu to put an end to me!"
"you say."
Wang Mang gritted his teeth and did not hide his murderous intent. "Isn't this nonsense? It's ridiculous!"
