Chapter 8: Five Years in China 5
Han Dynasty.
Liu Bang put his right foot on the table, supported his head with his left hand, leaned back in the chair, and smiled indifferently.
"Okay, why are you all so sad? This is more than ten times the Qin Dynasty."
Liu Bang was very open-minded about these things. As long as he did not die in the second generation, every extra generation would be a gain!
……
[In 23 AD, the Xin Dynasty was overthrown by the Green Forest Army. ]
[In 25 AD, Liu Xiu proclaimed himself emperor and established his capital in Luoyang. He was known as Emperor Guangwu, and history calls it "Guangwu Restoration". The Han dynasty lasted for years.]
——"The Great Mage is here. I say Xiu'er is the best fighter among all the emperors in history. Who agrees and who disagrees?"
——"You are still too conservative. Let alone the emperors of all dynasties, even if it is put in the present, it is a strategic-level weapon. Even if it is a meteorite, Eagle Sauce can't withstand it."
——"Don't make a fuss. Even if Xiu'er doesn't have those messes, his personal abilities are top-notch. His civil and military skills are both top-notch. He can be called a perfect emperor."
——"If you want to marry a wife, you should marry Yin Lihua. She seems to be an outlier in the Liu family. Not only is she a romantic, but all the twenty-eight generals in Yuntai have a happy ending."
——"He was able to have a happy ending because he was the best fighter in the world, and he was the best fighter by a huge margin. Looking back at Emperor Guangwu's life, you will find that the male protagonists in cool novels are not as cool as him."
——"He is indeed an outlier. He has basically no flaws as a person or as an emperor. If he had not made great contributions to the nation, he would have been an emperor of all ages."
——"Our Liu family has produced wise rulers, benevolent rulers, and heroic rulers. So what if we now have a divine ruler! (Hands on hips)"
——"It can only be said that being too perfect ruined him. All the twenty-eight generals had a happy ending. He lacked a tragic core and storyline. The performances of men and women were good, but there was no sensational news or interest. Therefore, no one in later generations was willing to write about him, whether in novels or TV series. Look at how exciting it was when Li Er killed his brothers and forced his father to death. Look at how Cao Cao killed three wise men with one shot and thought about widows every day. How easy it was to portray him."
……
Qin Dynasty.
After seeing the words "extend the Han dynasty for two hundred years", Ying Zheng fell silent.
Is this man named Liu Bang so lucky?
Or is there something different about his bloodline?
For the first time in his life, Ying Zheng experienced the feeling of "jealousy".
These descendants are so ambitious!
"Come here! Pass the order down, Liu Bang must be captured alive!"
Since his offspring are so good, let him have as many daughters as possible.
It just so happens that Fusu is not too old...
……
Han Dynasty.
But it is not a palace.
"Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!"
Liu Xiu gazed at the comments of later generations about him on the sky and laughed heartily!
The civil and military officials below were all confused when they saw their emperor laughing like this.
There's nothing to be happy about on this screen.
Isn't it normal that future generations have a high opinion of Your Majesty?
This is Your Majesty!
Your Majesty is brave and good at fighting, noble and honest, friendly and benevolent, humble and willing to accept others, and you are the one chosen by heaven!
Only Liu Xiu himself knew that the reason he laughed was not what they thought.
It was because of the sentence "If you want to marry a wife, you should marry Yin Lihua, the outlier in the Liu family, another romantic."
At first, he was a little dissatisfied when he saw later generations say that "Emperor Xuan was the only affectionate man in the Liu family." How could Liu Xiu not be affectionate?
Now that he saw that later generations were also praising him, he couldn't help but laugh.
……
Three Kingdoms period.
"Kill three sages with one shot?"
"Fengxiao, I can understand the killing of three sages, but what about one cannon? Is it some powerful weapon?" Cao Cao looked at Guo Jia in confusion.
Guo Jia lowered his head and said nothing.
Although he didn't understand what "killing three wise men with one shot" meant, he could still understand the phrase "thinking about the widow every day". It was definitely not a good thing to put them together.
……
Tang Dynasty.
When Li Shimin saw the words "Kill brothers and force father" on the sky curtain, he instantly became emo, and little pearls fell down cracklingly.
Did he fail to become a wise ruler after all?
Otherwise, why would later generations be so disrespectful when talking about him?
"Your Majesty, in my heart you are the best emperor, and I believe that you will become the most outstanding monarch." Empress Changsun held Li Shimin's hand tightly and comforted him softly.
Li Chengqian also came to Li Shimin, pulled his sleeve and said: "Father, don't cry. In my heart, you have always been the best emperor and the best father."
Li Shimin looked at his virtuous wife and his well-behaved and filial son, and felt much better.
He gently stroked Li Chengqian's head with his hand, his voice choking with sobs: "Your father, I will be the most outstanding emperor in history and leave you a unique Tang Dynasty. Father, you will keep your word!"
……
[In 57 AD, Emperor Ming of Han, Liu Zhuang, succeeded to the throne. During his reign, the government was clear and the barbarians were submissive.]
[In 75 AD, Emperor Zhang of Han, Liu Zhuang, succeeded to the throne. During his reign, society was stable and the people lived in peace. This period is also known as the "Ming Zhang Reign" together with the reign of Emperor Ming of Han.]
[In 88 AD, Emperor He of Han, Liu Zhao, succeeded to the throne. During his reign, he was lenient and loving to the people at home and had proper military strategies abroad. This was known in history as the "Yongyuan Period of Prosperity"]
——"This should be considered the peak of the Eastern Han Dynasty's national power."
——"Everything that goes up must decline, and we are about to enter the Eastern Han Dynasty kindergarten era (funny)"
[After this, the Eastern Han Dynasty entered the "kindergarten era", with many emperors ascending the throne before the age of ten. The imperial power fell into the hands of eunuchs and relatives of the emperor's wife, who sold official positions and titles, and the people lived in misery.]
[In 184 AD, Zhang Jue started an uprising, which was known as the "Yellow Turban Uprising" in history. Although it was quickly suppressed, it marked the beginning of a chaotic era! ]
——"The blue sky is dead, the yellow sky should be established, the year is Jiazi, and the world is auspicious"
——"I am Zhang Jiao, the poor Taoist, and I invite you to die."
——"I only like Zhang Jue in Romance of the Three Kingdoms. I stopped watching it after he died."
——"Good fellow, you only read the title page when you read a book, right?"
——"You call me a thief, but what did I steal?"
[In 190 AD, after Dong Zhuo entered the capital, he deposed Emperor Liu Bian and established Emperor Xian of Han Liu Xie as the emperor. He controlled the government and moved the capital to Chang'an]
——"I watched Romance of the Three Kingdoms when I was a kid. I still remember Diao Chan and the three heroes fighting against Lu Bu."
——"Then I am better than you. I still remember Guan Yu warming the wine and drinking Hua Xiong."
——"??? What Hua Xiong?"
——"I've seen it in official history and unofficial history, but this is the first time I've seen dog shit."
——"You don't know such a classic clip as Hua Xiong? It's just that Liu Bei in the fight will be scattered in that drama."
Han Dynasty.
"Presumptuous! Presumptuous!"
Liu Che, who had finally calmed down, became furious again and kicked over the table that he had just straightened.
"Rebellious ministers, what do they think of the Emperor of the Han Dynasty?
Plaything?
If you want to abolish it, then abolish it. If you want to move the capital, then move it!"
Liu Xiaozhu was very angry!
As for the consequences...there are no consequences at all.
The thought of how I have no way to deal with those traitors made me feel uncomfortable.
Liu Xiaozhu became even angrier!
