My Brother, the Champion Marquis

Historically, Huo Guang's abilities rank among the top 100 in China's five thousand years of history. Even a time traveler might not have done better than Huo Guang, since he was a minister, not an emperor. Despite the disastrous reign of Emperor Wu of Han, Huo Guang managed to stabilize the Han Dynasty and restore power to the Liu family's direct descendants. No one in history, both ancient and modern, has been able to achieve this.

The story of Qin Shi Huang burning books and burying scholars alive is a fabrication by Sima Qian. Only books containing philosophical ideas were burned; practical books were preserved. Furthermore, there were backup copies of the burned books, which were actually burned by Xiang Yu.

The path to power is fraught with peril; stagnation means certain death. Huo Guang, a historical figure known for his numerous abuses and ability to depose emperors with ease, ultimately chose to return power to the emperor. What was the result? He died, and within a month, his entire family was murdered. As for the claims of his wife and family betraying him, these are merely excuses in my view.

You've transmigrated into the body of Huo Guang. Can you be even more capable than Huo Guang? Generally, authors don't write about time travelers becoming Qin Shi Huang or Zhu Yuanzhang, because it's difficult to be more powerful than them. Huo Guang, as a brilliant politician, was similarly...

Huo Guang, do a good job and your entire family will be executed!

Huo Guang was a figure who could depose and install emperors, and not just through force, but by suppressing them. He was one of the most prominent figures in history. Every dynasty that didn't publicize his story attributed it to him. He was the one who cleaned up the messes left by Emperor Wu of Han; if Emperor Xuanzong of Tang had had him to clean up his messes, the An Lushan Rebellion might not have even occurred!

I went and roughly learned about Huo Guang's life. He was quite a formidable figure, with achievements surpassing even Huo Qubing's. It's just that his family caused too much trouble in his later years, and he himself wasn't particularly upright or loyal. I'm quite looking forward to seeing if the author will give him a happy ending.

How much of Huo Guang's historical abilities does the protagonist in the book possess?

Holy crap, what he did is something that's hard to surpass unless the main character releases a new storyline. Huo Guang is known as the number one minister in China who never made a single mistake.

This formula has been used to death, and the plot is boring too.
