I like Liu Xiu very much.
Among the emperors of the past dynasties, Liu Xiu was both an emperor and a human being at the same time. Whether it was the words he said to Yin Lihua: When you are an official, you should be King Wu, and when you marry, you should marry Yin Lihua, or when Empress Guo was deposed later, she still treated the Guo family equally, making it impossible for people to feel that it was the house of the deposed queen; he disagreed with Liu Lin's artificial method of creating a flood to deal with the enemy; when he ran away, he wanted to take his sister with him; when he introduced her husband to the eldest sister, he could only show his hands...
The leader read "Dongguan Han Ji" and said that Liu Xiu was the most knowledgeable, best employing, and best at fighting emperor in history. Basically, I think this evaluation is quite fair. To be fair, Liu Xiu's personal ability should be very strong among the emperors of the past dynasties. No matter which founding emperor is pitted against Liu Xiu, the final winner may still be Liu Xiu. Of course, this is Guan Gong fighting Qin Qiong. There is no historical basis, just my personal opinion. Because Liu Xiu plays against him, the impression I always get is that he is calm and relaxed.
I just think he is excellent, has outstanding abilities, and is unpredictable. Although the five words Li Shimin are also applicable. But the person who deposes the queen and deposes the prince and remains calm as if nothing happened is just one of the emperors in the past and present; the hero and the famous general who always enjoy the joy of peace are just one of the emperors in the past and present.
There is a Yin Lihua in everyone's heart, and there is a Liu Xiu in everyone's heart. Therefore, for such heroes and heroines, the best novels should be dedicated to them.
