"In view of the phenomenon of bureaucratic corruption in the late Western Han Dynasty, Liu Xiu paid attention to rectifying the rule of officials, personally set an example, and rewarded integrity.

"In the early days of the Eastern Han Dynasty, due to the sharp decline in the population caused by the war, Liu Xiu ordered to recuperate, reduce forced labor, and not easily launch border work, which made the national strength of the Eastern Han Dynasty continue to recover, the population increased, and the whole country gradually restored prosperity."

"Liu Xiu also implemented the system of land control, measured the land, verified the population, and checked the number of acres of cultivated land and household registration, age, but this measure was opposed by Haoqiang, Liu Xiu ordered the execution of officials who did not act, and at the same time severely cracked down on the power of Haoqiang landlords, so that the system of Dutian was implemented, laying the foundation for the rule of Mingzhang of the Eastern Han Dynasty."

"Liu Xiu's measures played a very good role in the Eastern Han regime, and the Eastern Han regime flourished day by day, and some people always say that Liu Xiu represented the interests of the powerful family, and the family ruled the world together led to the demise of the Eastern Han Dynasty."

"First of all, Liu Xiu did not do anything to rule the world with the family, on the contrary, he was constantly curbing the development of the landlord Haoqiang, the reason why the family Haoqiang occupied absolute power in the Eastern Han Dynasty was because they were all heroes of the founding of the country, and Liu Xiu treated the heroes well."

"Secondly, Liu Xiu's measures injected a shot of strength into the Eastern Han regime at that time, and these measures made the Eastern Han Dynasty stronger and stronger, which was absolutely correct at that time."

"In the end, the fall of the Eastern Han Dynasty was more than 200 years away from Liu Xiu's policies, and the system of more than 200 years ago could lead to the demise of the Eastern Han Dynasty, how much impact did this policy have?"

"The Yellow Turban Rebellion in the late Eastern Han Dynasty was because of the serious displacement of the people because of land annexation, and Liu Xiu's promulgation of the Dutian system was to solve the problem of land annexation.

Liu Bang: This kid's ability to govern is quite good!

Lv Pheasant: It's quite scummy to treat women.

Li Shimin: Empress Lu, the treatment of women in this world has never been fair, you have paid too much for Liu Bang and have resentment, but our world is like this, Guo Shengtong is not very good, and we can see it clearly when we treat Yin Lihua.

Chen Ajiao: There are many reasons for negative people, and the queen wins the world well!

Queen Ma: Why wouldn't my Majesty be like this? It's just a man's popular disease, and it's true that the world is like this, women's status is too low, two wives are really two treatments, and Emperor Guangwu's ability to govern, I don't think so!

"One of the two wives was married by the people, and the other was married for the regime, in fact, judging from marrying the two, Guo Shengtong has already lost, one is what he likes, and the other is for power."

"From Yin Lihua's point of view, it should be Liu Xiu's inconvenient treatment of his original wife Yin Lihua, because Liu Xiu admired her beauty very much when she was not yet developed, and once sighed: "When you marry a wife, you should marry Yin Lihua," after the battle of Kunyang, he married Yin Lihua in Wancheng, and married Yin Lihua first.

"But less than a year later, in order to stabilize the situation in Hebei, Liu Xiu remarried Guo Shengtong, the niece of Liu Yang, the king of Zhending."

"After Liu Xiu became the emperor, it stands to reason that Yin Lihua should be canonized as the queen, but in order to appease the forces of the Hebei faction, Liu Xiu canonized Guo Shengtong as the empress."

"Liu Xiu's treatment of Yin Lihua can be called favored, Liu Xiu actually wanted to establish Yin Lihua as the queen when he was called the emperor, but Yin Lihua thought that she was not qualified to be the queen, coupled with the turmoil in Hebei at that time, establishing Guo Shengtong as the queen can show the Hebei forces that the emperor has no intention of implicating Liu Yang's clansmen and easing the relationship with the Hebei forces."

"Yin Lihua's resignation as queen can be said to be completely for Liu Xiu's sake, in the feudal period, women were completely vassals, and there is such an original wife who can be said to be lucky for Liu Xiu."

"After that, Liu Xiu did not live up to Yin Lihua, in the seventeenth year of Jianwu, Guo Shengtong was deposed, and Liu Xiu was canonized as Yin Lihua as the queen again."

"I still think about the queen in the early stage, Liu Xiuzha is a matter of course, and Yin Lihua is scheming in my opinion, because it was difficult for her to be the queen at that time, it is better to sell it to Liu Xiu, in my eyes Guo Shengtong is their stepping stone, a generation of virtuous queens was hacked into a "demon queen", I look down on this emperor. ”

"Of course, this is my own idea, in the eyes of the ancients, men achieve great things, women's things are insignificant, in the eyes of our later generations there are also admirers of Liu Xiu and like Yin Lihua, I respect history, according to the historical information that can be queried to describe the two."

"I'll follow the canonical history."

"That can only say that the story of Liu Xiu and Yin Lihua is not a stain on Liu Xiu at all, although the political aspect accounts for a large reason, but their behavior of thinking about each other for each other is still unique in the feudal era, especially in the emperor's family."

"Emperor Guangwu is also a person who is both civil and military, and with the policy of literature, of course, we must also talk about the conquest of martial arts."

"Liu Xiu actually often comes to the battle formation, and knows how to use troops better than most of his generals."

"At the age of 28, he raised troops with his brother Liu Xiu, and became the emperor two years later, on the surface, Liu Xiu's rise was quite fast, but the problem was that he was not the only one who called the king the emperor at that time."

"Wang Mang's new dynasty has not been overthrown, Liu Xiu's brother Liu Xuan has been promoted as the first emperor, Liu Xiu was still his subordinate at that time, Liu Xiu ascended the throne in the same year, Gongsun Shu was proclaimed emperor in Chengdu."

"Liu Penzi was proclaimed emperor by the Red Eyebrow Army, Liu Yong was proclaimed emperor in Suiyang, and before and after, there were countless people who were called kings or generals."

"Is the surname Liu an advantage? It can only be said that it is slightly useful. ”

"There are more descendants of the Liu royal family from generation to generation, and at that time, the Red Eyebrow Army wanted to establish a clan surnamed Liu, and there were more than 70 descendants of Liu Zhang, the king of Chengyang Jing, in the army."

"Later, I picked out 3 people who were closest to Liu Zhang's blood, and selected Liu Penzi, who was in charge of herding cattle in the army, by drawing lots."

"Liu Xiu is the ninth grandson of Liu Bang, his sixth ancestor Liu Fa is the king, and the fifth ancestor Liu Mai is reduced to a marquis, and his father Liu Qin is no longer a county commander, and the bloodline is really not noble at all."

His era name "Jianwu" told a bit of the truth, the world is played, built on martial arts. ”

Compared with those opponents who are unbearable and similar to robbers, just like the Green Forest Army entering Chang'an, the first emperor actually asked his generals, "How many things have you robbed?" "Liu Xiu's political vision is much higher."

"At that time, the heroes competed and the four seas were boiling, and the most valued by the world were the fierce generals who conquered the city and conquered the city, and the strategists who were treacherous, but he had a unique eye, and selected loyal ministers and good officials from the grass."
