The young emperor Liu Zhao ascended the throne at the age of ten. He succumbed to the shadow of the powerful minister Dou Xian (who once defeated the Northern Xiongnu in Jiluo Mountain and also seized the garden of Princess Qinshui). At the age of fourteen, he struck out with a thunder, outwit the Dou family and took charge of the world. He worked hard to govern, sent Ban Chao to conquer the fifty kingdoms in the Western Region, sent Gan Ying to explore the Western Sea, and issued edicts to punish himself in response to the locust plague. He pushed the Eastern Han Dynasty to the peak of its national power, but suddenly died at the age of twenty-seven.
Deng Sui, a talented girl from Nanyang, made a general history at the age of five, discussed politics as an adult at the age of twelve, and mourned the death of her father for three years and moved the heavens. He entered the palace as a nobleman at the age of fifteen. He studied under Ban Zhao and studied classics, history and astronomy intensively. She was the crown prince of the harem and took the throne in the middle palace after Queen Yin was deposed, treating his son as her own. Emperor He died young and was left alone in her care. Embracing the Hundred Days of Emperor Shang, she resolutely came to court and started the sixteen-year reign of "Yao and Shun" among women. He opened the national treasury to provide relief for successive years of drought, and strictly prohibited extravagance and promoted frugality; he fully supported Cai Lun's papermaking revolution, which eventually became Cai Hou's famous paper; he personally studied powerful crossbows and shocked the battlefield; he saw through the Huns' deceitful peace, pacified the pirate Zhang Bolu, and expanded the Western Qiang for 1,800 years. Baili; established a school in Luoyang and allowed male and female students to be an exception; presided over the school code and finally wrote "Shuowen Jiezi"; he also fought against public opinion, promoted science and opposed myths, recruited talents on the bus, promoted Zhang Heng with a keen eye, and gave birth to the world's most extraordinary artifacts: the sky and the earth. With the posture of Kunwei, she alone held the building that was about to collapse. She eventually became ill from overwork and died suddenly. This is an epic about a young hero and a wise queen through the ages, a legend of an era that shines with wisdom and courage amidst glory and sorrow.
