Taking Stock of the Ten Greatest Emperors in History

Take stock of the kings and generals in history. Let's start with an inventory of the top ten emperors. Qin Shihuang: "I came to the throne at a young age, swept through the six kingdoms, unified China, made books with the same text, chariots with the same track, built the Great Wall, and resisted the Xiongnu's southward march. One of these ten emperors must be mine." Zhu Yuanzhang: "We started with a bowl and conquered this huge country. We know that the Ming Dynasty will last for thousands of generations. The emperor of the ages must be us." Li Shimin: "I swept away the troubled times of the Sui Dynasty and allowed the people to live and work in peace and contentment. My civil, political and military strategies are at the pinnacle. I must be among these ten emperors." Periods of history appeared before the eyes of the emperors.
