The Heroic Emperor Gao Yang

Five years after Tianbao, the heroic emperor Gaoyang's prestige reached its peak, and he gradually became satisfied. When the southern expedition he sent failed, the Han army that he had trained so hard was defeated overnight, and he lost his biggest trump card. He could no longer intimidate the powerful elders headed by his mother, Lou Zhaojun. Coupled with the complicated state affairs, repeated setbacks, personal emotional difficulties and other factors, the alcoholism became more serious and the behavior was trance-like. For the sake of the country and in order to support the prince, he used alcohol to attack his political opponents and killed innocent people, leaving him with the title of tyrant through the ages.
