内容提要全书共六十三章节，约上百万字的文字规模。是一部基于记载两汉递嬗时期的各种历史文献典籍为基础，加以现代诠释和艺术加工的历史小说。本书是一部气势恢宏，描写细腻，展示文化，彰显人物，立意深远，思想深刻，情节紧凑，形式多元，颇具文学价值，带有娱乐性的华彩历史篇章。为什么敢如此大言不惭呢？其主要原因有以下几方面：本书取材于中国历史上既是独一无二，又具普遍性典型代表意义的东西汉交替，政权快速更迭时期。独一无二的是这一时期正值西方文明的基督教开始诞生，古印度文明的佛教经西域刚刚开始传入中国，而儒家思想在"罢黜百家，独尊儒术"和"天人合一"等思想的共同作用下向宗教化发展的历史时期。独一无二的是王莽被著名学者胡适先生称为"中国历史上的社会主义皇帝"。而具有典型代表意义的是这一时期的不平等现象极为严重："富者田连阡陌，贫者无立锥之地"，"贵族豪强"骄奢淫逸，而"贫下中农"纷纷变卖土地，依附于豪族，有的类似于西方庄园里的仆人，也有的类似于之后中国传统专制社会的长工；又由于各种天灾人祸使得流民四起，而不偷不抢走投无路的男女们沦为奴婢，买卖盛行。如官方禁止买卖，反而在公开的黑市上他们更是雪上加霜，境况如牲畜一般。而据考证当时的技术包括（铸造，冶炼，量衡，数学，日历，耕作，水利等等）发展水平已经达到一个较高的水平，与中国鼎盛的唐宋时期水平相当。生产力经过较长一段时间的提升后，自汉武帝时期之后，便开始提升缓慢。本书从文学和艺术角度重点展现了"外儒内法"的传统中国封建政治和社会文化所带来的悲剧和讽刺。比照《教父》的艺术构思，着力刻画了王莽这个人物性格是如何从注重修为的信奉儒家思想的士大夫在当时的政治文化侵淫下和矛盾冲突中逐步蜕变为沽名钓誉，虚伪做作，再到冷酷阴险，暴虐虚妄，最后迅速的走向灭亡的完整过程。是如何从儿女孝顺，夫妻和睦到家庭悲剧，儿女死的死，癫的癫，冷的冷最后到反目成仇，不共戴天的人伦悲剧。拷问了由儒家思想衍生而来，君主专制社会下的公义和私利，礼制和权术，情感和理智的相互矛盾和多元冲突。
