Short History Videos: A Countdown of the Top Ten Emperors!

Emperor Qianlong should be considered the most shameless and narcissistic emperor; he couldn't even compare to Qin Shi Huang.

Emperor Qianlong was, after all, a man of great integrity; he had his pride. Also, after reading this book, you might find that while Zhu Youjian and Zhu Yuanzhang were indeed emperors of the Ming Dynasty, they were vastly different. I dare say, even if you put the entire end of the Ming Dynasty on Zhu Yuanzhang's head and gave him a bowl, Hongwu would still be Hongwu! 666, just wait and see how Zhu Yuanzhang educates his descendants!

Qianlong is unworthy, definitely unworthy. I read it for a while and felt it was well-written. Other historical review books just skim the surface, briefly mentioning one emperor and moving on to the next, which is uncomfortable to read. This one is quite well-written, very detailed, and the way it shifts the focus from the emperors being reviewed to others is also excellent, creating a sense of…

Before giving my evaluation, let me say this: Qin Shi Huang, Ying Zheng, is the best! And, well done, author! An emperor like Qianlong shouldn't have been given anything; he didn't deserve it. Excellent work, author! I hope that when writing about Qin Shi Huang, the author will give him the elixir of immortality.

The early parts were a bit too superficial, but the later parts were alright. However, your analysis of Yang Jian and Dugu Jialuo was too one-sided. In the second year of the Renshou era of the Sui Dynasty, Dugu Jialuo passed away at the age of fifty-nine. After forty-five years of marriage, how could Yang Jian bear such a blow?

Although this book has some minor flaws and the content is a bit drawn out, it is definitely a very good book and a masterpiece. Keep up the good work, author!

This book is worth reading. It discusses the merits and demerits of the emperor and the reasons for the fall of the Chongzhen era, which is quite good. However, it still omits some points. The Ming Dynasty also fell because the eight major Shanxi merchants and military generals were not patriotic, were cowardly, and colluded with the Later Jin.

As a novel that combines history and anecdotes, it effectively fills the void left by the book's otherwise dullness. Its only drawback is its excessive pacing. The descriptive language is valuable and is indeed the essence of the book, but unnecessary details could be omitted.

Aside from the fact that they ended up killing the emperor, everything else was pretty good. 😅🤦🤦🤦

First, I want to state that Emperor Qianlong was incompetent, truly incompetent. The author's criticism is spot on. Secondly, I feel the author writes very well, using the characteristics of one emperor to introduce the stories of other emperors and the fates of other dynasties. The thinking is clear, and the conflict is handled very well.
