At the end of the Western Han Dynasty, the once glorious Han Dynasty was now like an ancient building crumbling in the violent storm. Since Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty ambitiously embarked on a large-scale journey to expand territory, although the great national prestige of the Han Dynasty was demonstrated in all directions and the Han Dynasty became famous far and wide, this series of military actions also drained the national finances like water. In order to fill the growing financial deficit, the imperial court had no choice but to continuously increase taxes. This undoubtedly made the burden on the people who were already living a difficult life heavier, like an overwhelmed camel. Every additional straw made their lives more difficult. During the period of Emperor Han Yuan, he vigorously reused Confucian ministers. However, most of these Confucian ministers were deeply shackles of ancient rituals. Although they were well-read in poetry and books, they seriously lacked the ability to actually govern the country. This made the entire government increasingly corrupt under their control, like a palace that was gradually decaying and crumbling. Wang Mang established a new dynasty, but failed to promote restructuring. The new dynasty was facing the end. How to recreate a century of prosperity...?
