So does anyone here know about the interim period between the two Han dynasties (9 CE to 27 CE)? Particularly the war period following the fall of Wang Mang (23 CE)? Are there any good potential PoDs in this time that would lead significantly change Chinese national culture and history over the next two centuries? As an example, could the Lulin or Chimei (Red Eyebrows) hold onto power; and even if they could, would any of these factions doing so look so different from OTL's Eastern Han Dynasty?

Is there potential here?

CONSOLIDATE: Some potential ideas:
  • Mother Lu lives a few more years (doesn't die 18 CE)
  • Emperor Genshi sucessfully restores the dynasty; the Red Eyebrows don't rebel a second time
  • the Red Eyebrows sucessfully install their puppet emperor
