Romance of the Later Han Dynasty

About This Novel
During the Han dynasty, historians divided it into two dynasties, called the Later and Later Han, also known as the Eastern and Western Han. Because during the four hundred years of the Han Dynasty, Wang Mang usurped the country and usurped the throne for eighteen years, so the people before Wang Mang were called the Former Han Dynasty, and after Wang Mang, they were called the Later Han Dynasty. Moreover, the former Han Dynasty established its capital in Shaanxi, so it was known as the Western Han Dynasty, and the later Han Dynasty established its capital in Luoyang, so it was known as the Eastern Han Dynasty. "The Romance of the Later Han Dynasty" follows "The Romance of the Former Han Dynasty", starting from Wang Mang and ending with the Three Kingdoms. "The Romance of the Former Han Dynasty" is attached to the Qin Dynasty, and the "Romance of the Later Han Dynasty" is attached to the Three Kingdoms, but they are also unique creations. If we want to talk about the rise and fall of the Later Han Dynasty, it is more complicated than that of the Early Han Dynasty: Wang Mang usurped the country, and the disaster was caused by the Yuan Dynasty. Foreign relatives were harmed. As for this, Guangwu Zhongxing paid close attention to punishment and tried to prevent foreign relatives from intervening in the government. Emperor Ming was particularly paternal, and Emperor Zhang was very impressive in his early administration. After the emperor and the emperor, the national affairs deteriorated day by day. Foreign relatives and eunuchs fought and eventually died together. The power of the country was in the hands of the state pastors. The heroes competed for hegemony, and the weak and the strong preyed on each other. Thus, there were three kingdoms. In total, from Guangwu to Emperor Zhang, it was the era of the dictatorship of kings. From Emperor He to Emperor Huan, it was the era of relatives and eunuchs changing their powers. If Emperor Xian's reign was full of changes, it was an era of chaos and conflict at first, then an era of disputes in Fangzhen, and finally an era of competition among the Three Kingdoms...
