The Han Gaozu of Great Ming

Liu Bang's ability to recognize and utilize talent ranks first among all feudal emperors. I also believe his magnanimity is unparalleled; he could take on responsibilities and let go of burdens, and his lack of fear of death even after becoming emperor is remarkable, not to mention his shamelessness. He was also a master strategist. Experts comment that Han Xin could command 100,000 troops.

I hope the author will investigate the truth behind the Tumu Crisis. Furthermore, Yu Qian wasn't as good as people imagine. His death wasn't unjust.

It's not that Yu Qian was bad. He deserved to die. He was a natural-born civil official, and when he wielded power, he relied on civil officials, leading to an imbalance between the civil and military forces. How dare Yu Qian abolish the Five Military Commands? Any emperor would have killed him.

The instructor once called Liu Bang the first and most powerful feudal emperor. His use of political maneuvering was superb, and his military command ranked third at the end of the Qin Dynasty, second only to Han Xin and Xiang Yu.

Empress Lü and Liu Bang were truly a unique couple in history; two cunning and scheming women gave birth to Liu Ying, a simple and honest man.

It's gotten a bit off-topic; there are too many people from the Former Han Dynasty, and it feels like the author's line of thought is getting narrower and narrower.

It's clearly well-written, so why is no one commenting? I think the author's portrayal of Liu Bang is my favorite emperor among all the emperor novels I've read! Throughout the book, he embodies a style of conduct that combines benevolence and righteousness, without any sudden changes of heart or reversals at the end. I really want to see the ministers of the early Han Dynasty drinking with Liu Bang again...

The chapters about Han Xin are poorly written. Liu Bang was a political manipulator. During his six-year reign after the founding of the Han Dynasty, he was constantly eliminating kings, including many meritorious officials and old friends. He showed no mercy in killing them. It's hard to say whether his killing of Han Xin was right or wrong.

A group of people are talking about the Tumu Crisis and Yu Qian. It's unnecessary. Many even say Zhu Qizhen made a mistake in killing Yu Qian. Let's not even discuss whether there was any foul play at Tumu Fortress. Just look at what happened after Tumu Fortress—tell me, which emperor could tolerate him? He was the one who made Zhu Qiyu become emperor, wasn't he?

Liu Bang had three main strengths: thick-skinned, benevolent, and good at using people. During Zhu Qizhen's reign, no ministers coveted imperial power, and many talented people emerged. As long as one did not favor treacherous officials, one's position was basically secure.
