Emperor Guangwu

This book tells the story of Liu Xiu, who was a commoner but had blood from the previous dynasty. In the late years of Xinmang, when the country collapsed and the world was in chaos, he took advantage of the situation to raise troops in his hometown and began his military career. In 25 AD, Liu Xiu openly broke with the Gengshi regime and ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor in Qianqiu Pavilion, Hanan, Hebei Province. In order to express the rejuvenation of the Liu family, he still used "Han" as his country's name, and it was called "Eastern Han" in history. After a twelve-year unification war, Liu Xiu successively annihilated the separatist regimes in Guandong, Longyou, Xishu and other places, ended the warlord melee and separatist situation that had lasted for nearly two decades since the end of Xinmang, and realized the "Guangwu Zhongxing". Liu Xiu reigned for thirty-three years. He promoted Confucianism and promoted integrity. The Eastern Han Dynasty was also praised by later historians as the era of "the most beautiful customs and the most prosperous Confucianism" in Chinese history!
