About This Novel
Liu Che, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, reigned for fifty-four years. During his reign, he conquered the Huns in the north, conquered the Western Regions, pacified the two Vietnams in the south, and conquered Korea in the east. He successively brought the Hetao Plain, Hexi Corridor, Lingnan, Fujian, Northeast, Southwest and other places under the direct jurisdiction of the central government, greatly expanding the territory of ancient China. However, the evaluation of the merits and demerits of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty has been controversial throughout the ages. Sima Guang criticized him in "Zi Zhi Tong Jian" for his "excessive extravagance, excessive lust, and heavy punishments." In order to realize his great deeds, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty paid a price that was almost as huge as the historical achievements he created.
