I Was Born in the Late Han Dynasty, and There Will Be No More Three Kingdoms After That

When you look at the Three Kingdoms at the end of the Han Dynasty through the heroic history, you will say that the princes are fighting for hegemony, the generals are shining, and the beauties of the country are beautiful; but when you look at the Three Kingdoms at the end of the Han Dynasty from the perspective of ordinary people, you will see that the people's livelihood is in decline, people exchange their children for food, and the world is in prison. Zhao Zhiming was born as Chen Xing in the late Han Dynasty. He knew the tragic ending of later generations and tried to change the ending of this troubled world. He used modern knowledge to develop agriculture, accumulate money and grain, train soldiers, and make friends with counselors and generals. I have witnessed the "human massacre" scene described in Cao Cao's poem: "White bones are exposed in the wild, and there is no rooster crow for thousands of miles." He realized that the late Han Dynasty was nothing more than a paradise for speculators, an opportunity for heroes to rise, and eternal hegemony for princes, but it was only a hell for common people. He no longer believes in heroes. He understood that no matter who conquered the world, they would not be able to change the plight of the aristocratic families becoming increasingly powerful and exploiting the people in the future. The only way out is to unite the common people, conduct imperial examinations, supervise officials, and lock the officials' power in a cage. Chen Xing lamented: "Conquer the world, sit in the world, enjoy the world, history is like this. And every change of dynasty is bound to be accompanied by devastation of life. In this case, there is no separation of powers and constitutional monarchy. I want to become the emperor, let the country reform according to my will, unite the people, enlighten the people's wisdom, supervise the officials, and break this historical cycle."
