The history at that time was a history of emperors who ruled the world. Since "the family belongs to the world", the topic of "successor" has naturally been talked about by commentators in the past dynasties. These "successors" can be described as diverse, such as Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty and Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, who will be famous throughout the ages; people like the Second Emperor of the Qin Dynasty and Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty will be infamous for thousands of years; and there are still some who have been basically forgotten by history, but digging out what they did is enough to shock the best novelists and screenwriters. Here, Ma Boyong will tell you the story of the two successors to the subjugation of the country, and they turned out to be the originators of Song poetry; Wang Sheng will tell you what Xiang Yu, the overlord of Chu, is like in his heart, "Listen when I tell you, thinking about back then..."; Mr. Zhang Jiawei will enumerate the European successors for you. Right and wrong; and Uncle Jon will, as always, sting Song Taizong with his playful and scolding words; in addition, there are "Adou who cannot be helped", "Idiot Taisho Emperor" and the Gao family of the Northern Qi Dynasty who are so handsome that they have no friends but are seriously mentally ill... If you want to wear the crown, you must bear its weight, and it is really hard to be the successor!
