Those Things About Liu Xiu

In the long history, heroes have emerged in large numbers, but it is rare to find someone like Liu Xiu, Emperor Guangwu of the Han Dynasty, who has been crowned a hundred kings. He started out as a commoner and made a shocking comeback in the battle of Kunyang; he endured the violent death of his brother and was reborn in a desperate situation in Hebei; he finally unified the world and created a "prosperous age of martial arts" with judo. This book uses rigorous historical facts as its basis and vivid narrative as its flesh to deeply analyze the contradictions and unity of this "perfect emperor" - he is a thundering god of war on the battlefield and a tolerant wise man in the court; he is a tough reformer who promotes land transfer and a benevolent monarch who frees his slaves; he has an unswerving love for Yin Lihua, but he also has to face the complex entanglements of political marriage. With one hundred chapters and more than 400,000 words, we not only tell the story of Liu Xiu, but also see through him how an era was reborn from the ruins. Here are the loyalty and bravery of the twenty-eight generals of Yuntai, the joys and sorrows of the second empress Yin Guo, the game under the Dutian Order, and the eternal romance of "officials should be treated as Jinwu, and wives should be treated as Yin Lihua". Let us return to that turbulent era together and witness how the "sons of the plane" completed the great cause of resurgence destined for them with endurance and wisdom that is unimaginable to ordinary people.
