The two emperors, Wen and Jing, were recuperating and building up their family wealth through light corvee and scanty taxation. However, the rebellion of the Seven Kingdoms came to the city. Zhou Yafu was ordered to take over the task at the critical moment. He put down the rebellion within three months and protected the stability of the Han Dynasty. Emperor Wu's talent shocked all the world! Wei Qing and Huo Qubing led their cavalry to defeat the Xiongnu, and sealed the wolf as a slave to enhance the country's prestige; Zhang Qian went to the Western Regions as an envoy to open the Silk Road and expanded the territory thousands of miles; Zhaoxuan Zhongxing reversed the decline, but Huo Guang assisted the government, but his power was lost to the government and the opposition; in the later period, the imperial power fell, and Wang's relatives took advantage of the situation to rise. Wang Mang, from Anhan Gong to Emperor Regent, worked step by step to usurp the Han Dynasty. Infighting within the royal family, monopolizing power by relatives, and taking sides among officials could not stop the establishment of the new dynasty.
