	Wang Mang
		Unfortunately, only one year after, the emperor died and his successor, his nephew Ai-ti, had wanted to govern with a firmer hand than his uncle; moreover, this period saw the rise of other families, and, although the Empress Dowager couldn't be removed, Wang Mang had to resign from his office.

		As the Han armies were marching on the capital, important clans living in Chang-an surroundings took the opportunity to lead their followers to raid the city, and were soon to be joined by some of its inhabitants.

	First Division: The Imperial Annals

		Emperor HsÃ¼an, when young, had been reared in the family of his maternal grandmother, the Shih clan; when the disloyalty of the Ho clan was discovered, Emperor HsÃ¼an of course turned for support to this clan and to his wife's relatives, the HsÃ¼ clan, for their interests were naturally bound up with his own.

		Sima Qian had the ability to accompany the emperor on his visits to the provinces where he was able to record the "barbarian" tribes and lands which were brought under Han rule by Emperor Wu.
		He was accused of using "veiled" words in his description of Emperor Wu, which was Qian's way of criticizing the emperor using language and words that were not outright critical, but inferred disapproval of the emperor and his actions.
