Transmigrating to the Ji Han Era as an Imperial Uncle, I Make the Han Great Again

Standing before you is Liu Ji, “the greatest architect of the Han Dynasty’s restoration,” “the emperor’s uncle,” “the Han’s champion weightlifter,” “the soldiers’ most beloved general,” “the man foreign powers fear most,” “the nightmare of capitalists and speculators,” “the founder of the Han Republic and the breaker of feudalism,” and “the Iron-Blooded Prime Minister.” “Since Emperor Zucheng, when Emperor Zhaolie raised his troops to restore the Han, 124 years have passed. By fortune, our Han was restored. After Emperor Zhaolie’s great undertaking was cut short before its halfway point, the Sage Ancestor, Emperor Xiaowenwu, and Chancellor Zhuge labored night and day, ultimately succeeding in the northern campaigns. They successively destroyed Wei, Wu, and other disloyal ministers, repelled the barbarians, and pacified the realm. Thus, the Chinese begonia leaf was once again united under one rule.” “Now, as the emperor’s uncle, I carry out his command. I shall follow the example of the worthies who came before me, honoring the aspirations of our ancestors above and giving peace of mind to the people below. I will reclaim our ancestors’ legacy and seek the people’s welfare. I shall cast aside my own selfish desires, and I hope to become a second Chancellor Zhuge, serving with all my strength until my dying breath.” “Let the Han be great once again.” Excerpt from “Liu Ji’s Speech at His Inauguration as the Han’s Twelfth Prime Minister.”
