   Don't be put off by historical dramas; this isn't a textbook, it's the pinnacle of political intrigue! He ascended the throne at sixteen, his grandmother dominating, the feudal lords watching, the Xiongnu riding roughshod over him. He had no say in the court, no power to mobilize troops on the border. What would you do in his shoes? Wait? Wait six years. Wait for his grandmother to die, wait for Wei Qing to rise from a lowly stable boy to a great general, wait for Huo Qubing to achieve his ultimate victory. But what was the price? His beloved woman committed suicide, his most promising son was forced into rebellion, and his sharpest weapon died young. He won the world, but lost himself. There's no stereotypical, perfect hero; Liu Che (Emperor Wu of Han) was calculating, regretful, and would stare blankly at the black chess pieces late at night. Wei Qing wasn't a god; he feared his achievements would overshadow his ruler and refused visitors. Huo Qubing was mad, mad in a way that tugs at your heartstrings.
