In June of AD 25, Liu Xiu proclaimed himself emperor with the support of his ministers, reestablished the Han government, and soon made Luoyang the capital, known as the Eastern Han Dynasty in history. In the third year after the establishment of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Liu Xiu defeated the Red Eyebrow Peasant Rebel Army. In the sixth year of Jianwu, he unified Guandong and made Dou Rong of Hexi surrender. In the ninth and twelfth years of Jianwu, Tianshui and Bashu were pacified successively. After twelve years, Liu Xiu finally completed the cause of unification. After Liu Xiu established the Eastern Han Dynasty, he first devoted himself to rectifying the administration of officials and strengthening the centralization of authoritarianism. In the fifteenth year of Jianwu's reign, Liu Xiu ordered a nationwide inspection of land and household registrations, which was the so-called "land transfer order" in response to the serious phenomenon of "excessive land and house registration" and concealment of land and household registration. At the end of his reign, Liu Xiu also "announced prophecies to the world", attempting to use a mixture of Confucianism and prophecy theology as an ideological weapon to strengthen his control over the people's thoughts. Looking at the first half of Liu Xiu's life, it can be said that he spent the first half of his life on horseback. Not only was he able to conquer the world, he was also very capable of governing the country. He can be called a very accomplished emperor in history. "The Biography of Liu Xiu (New Color Illustrated Edition)/Famous Chinese Emperors" takes everyone into history and reveals to readers the life of this important historical figure during the Han Dynasty.
Reader comments
This book is very rich in content and tells the story of Liu Xiu's life, which gave me a deeper understanding of him. I especially hate the character Wang Mang. He is hypocritical and pretentious, and he will do whatever it takes to get power. However, Liu Xiu was able to establish the Eastern Han Dynasty and unify the country in troubled times. His resourcefulness and leadership skills are admirable. The author's descriptions are very vivid and the storyline is fascinating. I recommend you to read it.
The content is rich and colorful, and the storyline has ups and downs.
