Who knew that even the two emperors were captured by others. In the Southern Song Dynasty, there was a lack of expertise in appointing talents and a lack of good prime ministers. A few generals appeared, but they were framed by the traitorous ministers in many ways. On the Fengbo Pavilion, a prison of injustice was formed, and on the bank of the West Lake, riding a donkey back, everyone was disheartened and sat listening to defeat.

There was no choice but to put an end to the 320 years of Zhao and Song Dynasty. In fact, there were several types of good governance in the Song Dynasty: the first one was to clean up the palace, so there would be no trouble with women; the second kind was to suppress the eunuchs, so there would be no trouble with castration; the third kind was to harmonize relatives, and there would be no trouble with clans; the fourth kind was to prevent idle relatives, so there would be no trouble from foreign relatives; the fifth kind was to ban the troops and force the vassal to have no trouble.

After the Han and Jin Dynasties, foreigners gradually came to China and lived in the interior. Subsequently, the Five Hus and Sixteen Kingdoms rose and fell one after another. Later, the weak preyed on the strong, swallowed each other up, moved around, and combined the sixteen kingdoms into one big country, called the Northern Wei Dynasty. Later, internal strife broke out again in the Northern Wei Dynasty. The east was divided and the west was divided, and there was no time to take care of Jiangnan, so Jiangnan was still preserved. When the Eastern Wei Dynasty was changed to the Northern Qi Dynasty and the Western Wei Dynasty was changed to the Northern Zhou Dynasty, the Western Territory was divided into three parts. The Zhou Dynasty was the strongest, Qi was the second, and Jiangnan was the weakest. The tripartite war lasted for several years. Qi was merged with the Zhou Dynasty, but only two-tenths of Jiangnan remained, almost all belonging to the Northern Zhou Dynasty. A great prime minister, Yang Jian, was chosen. He usurped the Zhou Dynasty and re-annexed the south of the Yangtze River. He accepted Zhou Chan and destroyed the Chen family, and actually unified the Central Plains and merged the north and the south.

As far back as the Zhao and Song Dynasties, after the Jin State was destroyed, the surviving Jurchen clan fled to the northeast and hid on the seashore. Taking the meaning of "residents under Changbai Mountain", they named themselves the "Aixinjueluo Clan" and established the Manchukuo Kingdom, so the whole family was renamed "Manchu". After hundreds of years and several generations, a man emerged from the clan who was both wise and courageous and outstanding. So another 268 years of Qing Dynasty history was rehearsed. The Qing Dynasty unified the Central Plains, and the general path lasted for thousands of years and stretched endlessly, becoming one with the sky. Unexpectedly, the foreign ships have strong guns and powerful guns, and they repeatedly invade the country. The great power of the Qing Dynasty had to cede territory today and pay indemnity tomorrow. The Qing Dynasty's monarchs and ministers were so tired that they only focused on one thing and the other, and the country's power gradually declined. Unexpectedly, before the external troubles were over, internal worries arose again. Wuchang launched an attack, and the provinces responded, overthrowing the Qing Dynasty.

The Han dynasty is divided by historians into two periods, called the Early Han and the Later Han, also known as the Eastern and Western Han. This is because during the 400 years of the Han Dynasty, Wang Mang usurped the country and usurped the throne for 18 years. Therefore, the period before Wang Mang was called the Former Han, and the period after Wang Mang was called the Later Han. "The Romance of the Former Han Dynasty" has hundreds of chapters, starting from the first emperor of Qin and ending with Wang Mang's usurpation of the country; this part is connected with the previous part, starting with Wang Mang and ending with the Three Kingdoms. "The Romance of the Former Han Dynasty" is attached to the Qin Dynasty, and "The Romance of the Later Han Dynasty" is attached to the Three Kingdoms. They are relatively opposite, but they are also unique creations. If we want to talk about the rise and fall of the Later Han Dynasty, it is more complicated than that of the Early Han Dynasty: Wang Mang usurped the country, and the trouble was caused by the Queen of the Yuan Dynasty, and the harm caused by his relatives. Guangwu Zhongxing, punishing the past and ignoring the future, took over the power personally and tried to prevent his relatives from intervening in the government; the Ming Emperor was particularly paternal, and the Zhang Emperor was impressive in his early administration; after he was emperor, the country's affairs deteriorated day by day, and relatives and eunuchs fought, and eventually they all died together. The power of the country was in the hands of the state pastors, and the heroes fought for hegemony, and the weak and the strong were able to eat each other, so there were three kingdoms.

Chen Qiao changed and wore a yellow robe. Zhao Kuangyin, who was guarding the whole palace, actually took over the throne of Zhou Dynasty and became the emperor himself. However, the emperor had an eye for it, which caused the three kingdoms of Liao, Jin, and Yuan to rise up in the north one after another and cause frequent border troubles. The Northern Song Dynasty suppressed its troops too much and lacked good generals. The main idea was to recover the sixteen states of Yan and Yun. Who knew that even the two emperors were captured by others. In the Southern Song Dynasty, there was a lack of expertise in appointing talents and a lack of good prime ministers. A few generals appeared, but they were framed by the traitorous ministers in many ways. On the Fengbo Pavilion, a prison of injustice was formed, and on the bank of the West Lake, riding a donkey back, everyone was disheartened and sat listening to defeat. Later, even the last piece of the Zhao family's bones and blood was left alone overseas, and the cliffs were destroyed, and the emperor's son perished. There was no choice but to put an end to the 320 years of Zhao and Song Dynasty.

The Eastern Zhou Dynasty gradually declined, the Western Qin Dynasty rose, and the seven heroes of the Warring States Period attacked and killed each other. King Qin Yingzheng relied on his ancestral foundation to gather millions of strong men in Guanzhong, intimidated and deceived, and devoured the six kingdoms one by one, and took the territory of Kyushu as his own. Ying Zheng believed that his virtue was equal to that of the Three Emperors and that he had more merit than the Five Emperors, so he combined one character from each of the names of the Three Emperors and the Five Emperors into one word and called himself emperor. The four words "emperor's autocratic rule" are the main purpose that covers the entire book. The Qin Dynasty and the Han Dynasty followed it, which is related to the original Qin and Han Dynasties, and there is no big difference. The Qin Dynasty lasted for only fifteen years after Hu Hai and Ziying for three generations. It is narrated according to the events, only a few chapters, and does not make up a volume. Moreover, although it is called a dynasty, only tyranny is heard but no peace is seen. It is actually the transitional era from Zhou to Han, so it is listed before Han Dynasty to briefly describe its deeds. During the two hundred years before the Han Dynasty, there were favored women, relatives, Fangzhen, barbarians, eunuchs, eunuchs, and powerful traitors. They were all the causes of chaos in the country from ancient to modern times.

In the one hundred and fifty-six years of the Eastern and Western Jin Dynasties, except for the more than 20 years since the founding of the Jin Dynasty, there was no day of trouble or invasion. If there was no internal strife, there would be external aggression. Foreign aggression has always been the most severe, and it has never been more severe than the two Jins, the Five Hus and the Sixteen Kingdoms. They rise and fall suddenly, and there is no end. If the husband's internal affairs are in disrepair, internal strife will inevitably arise; if internal restraint arises, external aggression will take advantage of it. Insects grow on decaying wood, and ants invade the walls. This has been the case since ancient times, but it is particularly noticeable in Jin Dynasty. The Eastern and Western Jin Dynasties seemed to be always facing foreign aggression, but after all, they were like snipers and clams, and only fishermen existed. The land of Shenzhou is sinking, the bronze camels are thorny, the two masters are captured, and they are drinking in Di Ting. It is nothing more than internal affairs that are not in line, so this is the reason. Fortunately, in the battle of Feishui, Fu Qin was defeated and half of the country was saved. The monarchs and ministers of the Eastern Jin Dynasty became arrogant after a slight victory. Arrogance led to laziness, and there was no improvement. So they usurped each other, and disasters arose one after another, eventually leading to the destruction of the country. The downfall of the Jin Dynasty was not entirely caused by foreign aggression: bad ethics and seeking revenge among flesh and blood were the first disasters for the country's downfall; the loss of faith and the feud between the powerful and powerful were the second disasters for the country's downfall.

At the founding of the Tang Dynasty, all the heroes were drawn up, and the 293 states in the sea were conquered. All the Dongyi, Nanman, Xirong, and Beidi paid tribute every year and came to court every year. This is really a fact of the Tang Dynasty. It is not a false talk of the Tang Dynasty, it is a name of the Tang Dynasty. From then on, it was rumored overseas, and we Chinese often boast about it, and it is still used today. I once remembered that the predecessors left a joke and talked about it: Han Jingxue, Jin Qing Tan, Tang Wugui, Song Nashin, Qing Sloppy. What is the meaning of the three characters "Tang Turtle"? During the reigns of Taizong and Gaozong, the Tang Dynasty was at its peak, and things were already murky in the palace. Taizong raped his younger brother-in-law, and Empress Wu was widely seen. Later, Empress Wei relied on her favor, Zhongzong ordered the chips, Yuhuan washed the children, Lushan grabbed the breasts, the green headscarf became the family law, and the tortoise and the tortoise were not uncommon...

When Mao Zedong came to Beijing from Yan'an, he ordered his subordinates to bring him a set of books, and this was it! It can be said that this set of books is Mao Zedong's introduction to Chinese history. With more than 2,000 years of history from the Qin Dynasty to the Republic of China, Cai Dongfan used official history as the classic and anecdotes as the weft, and used the language of "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms", which is not very profound in writing and not very vulgar in language, to write this most complete set of historical novels in China. From the creation of "Popular Romance of Qing History" in 1915 to the publication of "Popular Romance of Later Han Dynasty" in 1926, the entire set of "Popular Romance of Historical Dynasties" took ten years to complete. In addition to being very story-telling and interesting, this set of novels also attaches great importance to the authenticity of historical materials. Not only can it be used as a general leisure reading, but it can also be used as a reference book for history lovers.

If there is long-term rule, there will be chaos; if there is long-term unity, there will be division. As time went by, the legacy of the ancestors gradually depleted, and the chaos became increasingly fierce. Three or five heroes took advantage of the chaos to cause trouble, either claiming the title of emperor or claiming the land as king. In this chaotic and divided situation, there were various states during the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, the Three Kingdoms during the Later Han Dynasty, the Southern and Northern Dynasties after the Eastern Jin Dynasty, and the Five Dynasties after the Late Tang Dynasty. The Five Dynasties lasted for fifty-three years, with eight surnames and thirteen emperors, and the country's name was changed five times, namely Liang, Tang, Jin, Han, and Zhou. Because these kingdoms had already been named by previous dynasties, historians added a later character to each, calling them Later Liang, Later Tang, Later Jin, Later Han, and Later Zhou. In addition, there were countries that were either combined or separated from the Five Dynasties, but were not affiliated with each other. They were called the Ten Kingdoms, namely Wu, Chu, Fujian, Southern Tang, Former Shu, Later Shu, Southern Han, Northern Han, Wuyue, and Jingnan. The current situation of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms was simply that the king was not the king, the ministers were not the ministers, the father was not the father, and the son was not the son. They were fighting for each other, the superiors and the inferiors were replacing each other, usurpers and murderers were seeking each other, and the greed was endless. Therefore, each generation can only pass on the inheritance for more than ten years at most, and only three or four years at least. Before our eyes, China is in chaos, the sea is fishy, ​​and the surrounding areas are restless...

Zhu Yuanzhang, Taizu of the Ming Dynasty, rose to the occasion. Within a few years, he expelled the Yuan Emperor and unified China. There were 12 successive emperors, and each of the 17 emperors lasted for 270 years and six years. During this period, there was a huge reason for the rise, prosperity, decline and death. The sages have a saying: "When a gentleman's Tao disappears, and a villain's Tao disappears, a country will prosper; when a gentleman's Tao disappears, and a villain's Tao grows, a country will decline." Although this sentence is ancient and modern, it is always a common saying and cannot be used as a conclusive proof of the rise and fall of a generation. The Ming Dynasty rose to decline and fell from prosperity, but it followed the same five mistakes as the Yuan Dynasty: the first disadvantage was fratricide, the second disadvantage was the succession of eunuchs, the third disadvantage was rampant traitors, the fourth disadvantage was the palace's reliance on favors, and the fifth disadvantage was rogue bandits causing harm to the people. In addition, there were domestic party disputes, powerful foreign enemies, and the chaos became more and more fierce. It barely supported it for hundreds of years, and finally suffered a complete defeat. The splendid country created and managed by Mingzu was handed over to the Manchus. It is also sad and miserable to say the least.

During the Han Dynasty, historians divided it into two groups, called the Early Han and the Later Han, also known as the Eastern and Western Han. This is because during the four hundred years of the Han Dynasty, Wang Mang usurped the country and actually usurped the throne for eighteen years. Therefore, before Wang Mang, it was called the Former Han, and after Wang Mang, it was called the Later Han. Moreover, the former Han Dynasty established its capital in Shaanxi, so it was known as the Western Han Dynasty, and the later Han Dynasty established its capital in Luoyang, so it was known as the Eastern Han Dynasty.
