Journey to the West: Sun Wukong's Advice System

I looked at the new replies.

Thirty-Seven said, "I also want to say that Wang Mang was keen on renaming everything—official titles, place names, he wanted to emulate the Zhou Dynasty and adopt names that sounded like they came from a period of ’rites and music’,

but after all the changes, not only were the officials and common people confused, even he himself was mixed up, which is truly laughable."

I was stunned for a moment, "Brother you’re awesome. No wonder Wang Mang went from being the nation’s hope to universally opposed. In just over a dozen years, his new dynasty was overthrown. He offended both the landowning class and the peasant class, losing support from all levels of society. How could his nation not fall!"

Ice Sugar Ice Cold said, "In the end, this guy was just a political star. He was good at building a reputation and at political struggle, to achieve these two goals he even forced his three sons to death one after another, truly ruthless,

but his ability to govern the country was truly trash, there’s no denying it."

These replies gave Sun Wukong a comprehensive understanding of Wang Mang. Indeed, as he initially thought, this person’s abilities did not match his reputation.

No wonder the suggestion to support Wang Mang offered an eighth-tier treasure chest as a reward—the difficulty was indeed not small.

"Hmm, better wait a bit longer," Sun Wukong thought to himself. The completion of the human and earth paths had to be approached carefully. He couldn’t act rashly.

The replies from netizens that followed also mentioned this point, similar to his own thoughts.
