Chen Ping, a graduate student in the Department of History, accidentally traveled to the late Western Han Dynasty while studying ancient books late at night, and became a distant relative of Liu Xiu, a man named Liu who was about to be exterminated.
At that time, Wang Mang's new policy had caused chaos in the world, and green forests and red eyebrows were everywhere. And the real "son of the plane" Liu Xiu is still farming in Nanyang. Chen Ping, who was familiar with history, knew that the Battle of Kunyang two years later, which determined the direction of history, was the key to Liu Xiu's ascension to the throne. But this road to becoming a god requires the bones of countless colleagues to pave it.
He did not want to be the "chosen son" who was pushed away, and he did not want the world to fall into the endless cycle of alternating power between relatives and eunuchs in the late Eastern Han Dynasty. Therefore, the fake "Liu Xiu" made a bold decision: he wanted to get ahead of the historical script and start a new career for himself.
He gave up defecting to Emperor Gengshi, and instead led seven thousand soldiers to the north. He made a surprise attack and occupied the then unknown "abandoned capital" Luoyang. When people all over the world were still fighting for the imperial seal, he promulgated the "Dayan Law", implemented a monopoly on salt and iron, established a "craftsmanship institute" directly managed by the imperial court, and even established a "beacon tower" system integrating military intelligence, supervision, and postal services.
When Liu Xiu led Emperor Gengshi's million-strong army to besiege the city of Kunyang, Chen Ping was standing at the top of the city of Luoyang, looking at the smoke and dust rising in the distance, and said to his subordinates: "They are still fighting for the world, and what we want to create is a world that has never existed before."
