The Han Dynasty: Emperor Wu’s Most Favored Minister

He entered the palace when Emperor Wu of Han, Liu Che, was at his lowest, and helped him turn the Han dynasty into an ideal state. Here, the Hundred Schools of Thought were not suppressed in favor of Confucianism. The Xiongnu were so thoroughly defeated that they were forced to migrate west. With lenient laws and thriving commerce, the empire became the world's commercial hub, a place all nations longed to visit. Its people lived in peace and prosperity, with a pioneering spirit.

In the end, the Han dynasty grew so powerful that it utterly defeated the Xiongnu after they migrated to Europe, and the European nations asked to become its vassals.
