Xing Han Lu: the Shogunate and the World

In 229 AD, the war in Yiling was still ongoing, and three parts of the world were about to fall. Liu Bei did not take the road of proclaiming himself emperor, but took the banner of "restoring the Han Dynasty" to unite with Wu to destroy Wei and welcome back Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty who had been imprisoned for many years. In front of the Luoyang Imperial Ancestral Temple, he burned incense, knelt down, and returned the jade seal to the emperor, which shocked the whole country. But how can the world be without a master? He established the "Han Shogunate" in Chengdu, appointed himself Duke Protector, unified the military and administration, appointed hundreds of officials, and decided on national policies. The emperor resides in the nine-layered palace and governs with vertical arches; The powerful ministers sat in the Xinghan Mansion and gave orders in all directions. It was called "The Restoration of the Han Dynasty", but it was actually the "Shogunate World". Confucian scholars denounced him as "unjust because of his unfair reputation." The generals on the border suspected that he was "benevolent on the outside but domineering on the inside". The emperor was trapped in the palace, secretly forming alliances with his old ministers and plotting to seize power. Sima Yi, who was far away in Luoyang, wrote under the broken candle: "This system is unstable and there will be chaos in ten years." This is an era where loyalty and intrigue are intertwined. A century-old game between orthodoxy and effectiveness. When ideals are reshaped by power, When benevolence puts on iron armor, Who is the real pillar of the Han Dynasty? Who can define - what is the world?
