Wang is just a woman. Why did she ruin the Western Han Dynasty?

Because she indirectly led to the usurpation of the throne by Wang Mang in the Western Han Dynasty, she was said to have destroyed the Western Han Dynasty. Wang was the queen of the Western Han Dynasty and the Yuan Dynasty, and the mother of Emperor Han Chengdi. She entered the palace from the lowest family to the later queen, empress dowager and even empress dowager. She witnessed the years at the end of the Western Han Dynasty. At the same time, she was also the root cause of the collapse of the Western Han Dynasty. Wang Mang, the usurper, is the son of Wang's younger brother. Under the promotion of Wang, Wang Mang gradually became a powerful minister of the Western Han Dynasty, and only when his power was expanded could he destroy the Western Han Dynasty.

1. Life was noble, and eventually she became a queen.

It is said that when Wang was born, there was a vision. When her mother was pregnant, she dreamed that the moonlight shone on her chest. When Wang reached marriageable age, her father found her two families, but the son of another family died unexpectedly. So her father Wang asked someone to tell her fortune. The fortuneteller said that Wang was a rich man and could only marry a prince. This is why Wang entered the palace. After Wang entered the palace, he was randomly selected by the then prince. Soon, her mother took her son and became a queen.

2. Promote brothers and consorts.

As a queen, Emperor Hanyuan did not love the king, and even her son was almost abolished by Emperor Hanyuan. However, sixteen years later, Emperor Hanyuan died, and Wang's son successfully became the new emperor Han Chengdi. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty sympathized with his mother and decided to promote his younger brother Wang. As a new emperor, he also needs to support the new forces, and the maiden of the empress dowager is his first priority. So the Wangs and their descendants were supported in the Western Han Guild Hall, including the famous Wang Mang. The Wangs became the most powerful family in the Western Han Dynasty.

Fighting in court, Wang Mang usurped the throne.

But Han Chengdi also died young, leaving no children. His brother Liu Kang had a son who was supported by the minister at that time and became Emperor Ai of Han Dynasty. Wang became the empress dowager. When the emperor changed, the court was naturally turbulent. The Wangs became the focus of the new emperor's attack. Many Wang's children were expelled from the imperial court, and Wang lost the support of his consorts for a while, but Emperor Han Ai was too soft-hearted and had no foresight, and wanted to let the old lady spend her old age safely. It was clear that the Wangs had been removed, but he changed his mind and recalled Wang Mang, who had been dismissed from office, to the court, which brought disaster to the Western Han Dynasty.

Emperor Han Ai didn't live to be Wang Lao either. As the biggest empress dowager, Wang doesn't want to lose power at all. After the death of Emperor Ai of Han Dynasty, he immediately took power and reused Wang Mang and others. Then another nine-year-old emperor ascended the throne, and the Western Han regime was completely controlled by Wang and Wang Mang. At this time, with the support of Wang, Wang Mang was in power, in power, and his ambition was expanding day by day. He also wanted to steal the throne. The little emperor is too young to confront Wang Mang. Some people even say that Wang Mang poisoned the little emperor. Wang Mang immediately launched a coup after the death of the emperor and changed the dynasty. There is nothing Wang can do about it.

If Wang Zhengjun hadn't been controlling the regime of the Western Han Dynasty and promoting consorts, how could the Western Han Dynasty have been usurped by Wang Mang?
