Qin Shihuang Ying Zheng made great contributions to the great cause of reunification. It is inaccurate to say that the six countries are unified. At that time, there were Wei, Eastern Zhou and Western Zhou, and it was not just six countries left. And Xiongnu, Ping Baiyue. What is criticized is the county system, Epang Palace, the Great Wall, Zhilu, the imperial tomb, as well as burning poetry books and pit magicians. It is not accurate to say that books are burned to bury Confucianism.
It can be said that during the Warring States period, the Huns harassed the northern territory of China many times, and it was inevitable to beat the Huns. When the King of Qin was in power, there were many times when the country declined, so it is also a solution to abolish state-owned counties in Ying Zheng. Ying Zheng plundered the ladies-in-waiting of six countries, and wanted to build a palace, which was still the place where such people lived. The Great Wall still played an active role in defending the Huns. Ostensibly to defend against the Huns, it was actually used by Ying Zheng for his patrol. Although it was a tool for Qin Shihuang's enjoyment, it also ensured the Qin Dynasty's rule over various places. Burning books is naturally wrong, but it was Confucian scholars who cheated Qin Shihuang in advance, and Qin Shihuang just retaliated. Now it's called excessive defense, which is different from murder and manslaughter. Ying Zheng is not the only successful emperor who didn't build the imperial tomb better. Compared with Khufu, his scale is much smaller.
As the first person to rule such a big country in the history of China, Qin Shihuang made some mistakes. It's just that so many things that waste people's money are done together, and many people will definitely object. And on the issue of heirs, Ying Zheng made a considerable mistake.
It's really too much to say that Qin Shihuang is an emperor through the ages. He was an emperor with outstanding achievements in the history of China, but he was not a very good emperor.
The main achievements of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty were to crack down on Xiongnu, pacify the western regions, advocate the imperial examination and reuse talents, which led to the unification of the Han Dynasty. What is criticized is the reuse of yin and yang, that is, the so-called warlock, militarism, killing people without blinking an eye.
Due to the rule of Wenjing, Liu Che's society has become quite rich and has the ability to compete with the Huns. He conquered the Huns four times and won great victories, which laid the foundation for the Han Dynasty to finally defeat the Huns. As for Liu Yuan, the southern Xiongnu, we all know that "the crimson irrigation is speechless, and the ground is powerless". Now, unless you know a lot about the history of the early Han Dynasty, you may not know that these four people are Zhou Bo, Guan Ying, Easy-going and Lu Jia. It can be seen that Liu Yuan has a high degree of sinicization and is a native of Shanxi. Can you say that Shanxi people are not from China? So it doesn't involve ethnic issues. So, there is no doubt that Han won the Xiongnu.
Li Guangli, the general of Liu Che No.2 Normal University, pacified the Western Regions for personal gain, but it made the Western Regions become the territory of China for the first time, laying the foundation for the later Western Regions to become the territory of China. The Western Region is the area east of today's Balkis Lake, including Xinjiang.
It is wrong to say that Emperor Wudi of the Han Dynasty ousted hundreds of schools and only respected Confucianism. We can see that Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty not only used Confucian scholars, but also used Yin and Yang schools and Taoism. His thoughts also included some legalists, so it was impossible to oust a hundred schools of thought and respect Confucianism alone. Although there is this sentence in Dong Zhongshu's Three Books of Heaven and Man, Dong Zhongshu himself has not been reused. The only Confucian scholars that Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty reused were Gong and Zhu. It is a bit far-fetched to say that Confucianism is the only one. During the period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, in addition to continuing the doctors of the Five Classics in the early Han Dynasty, imperial academy was re-established, which gave Confucianism an official academic institution, which really gave a great impetus to Confucianism.
Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty is very talented. During his reign, Ji An, Wei Qing, Huo Qubing, Dong Zhongshu, Gong, Zhu Fuyan, Li Guang, Zhang Qian, Huo Guang, Sima Qian and other first-and second-rate celebrities in China history. Historical Records Biography of Wei Wuqi is also quite wonderful in Historical Records. It can be said that Liu Che is good at recruiting people.
Liu Che used troops in Xiongnu, Western Regions, Korea, South Vietnam and other places, which led to the decline of national strength. He was deceived by many magicians and obsessed with immortals. Liu Che once had eight prime ministers, six of whom were killed. When Liu Che appointed the Prime Minister again, he scared the man to kneel for mercy. The above-mentioned celebrities, Wei Qing, Zhufuyan, Li Guang and Sima Qian, all came to no good end. By the way, there are Dou Ying from Wei Qihou and Hou Tianphenol from Wu 'an.
Therefore, it is no exaggeration to say that Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty is a controversial emperor and that he is "brilliant". It is also reasonable to say that he has committed acts of national subjugation, and there is no reality of national subjugation. Personally, I think Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty is a pretty good emperor. In his later years, after the prince was abolished due to witchcraft, he was very remorseful. He got off the stage and wrote to himself, making Huo Guang an assistant government, which laid the foundation for Zhao Xuanzhongxing in the future. Know what you have learned and just change it.
Compared with Qin Shihuang, Emperor Wudi of the Han Dynasty is quite inferior, because there is already Qin Shihuang in A Qin, and you have to be the second Qin Shihuang. Don't you deserve it? Fortunately, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty repented in his later years, but luckily he didn't die.
Li Shimin is different from them. Li Shimin is quite successful in governance, fighting martial arts and social stability. The accusations against Li Shimin are mainly the change of Xuanwu Gate and the establishment of the Prince. In fact, although Li Zhi led to the rule of Wuhou, the Tang Dynasty was still rising during the period of Emperor Gaozong and Wuhou, and it was not Li Shimin's mistake, either internally or externally. Li Shimin killed two people he shouldn't have killed. One is the famous Dan Xiong Xin, who almost killed Li Shimin in history and was later caught by Li Shimin. , Qin Qiong, (Cheng's name has many patterns) all pleaded for Shan, especially Xu Maogong kowtowed and bled, but Li Shimin still killed Shan Xiong Xin. This was turned into Weichi Gong's single whip rescue by ballads such as The Romance of Sui and Tang Dynasties. The other, because Li Shimin killed him, stipulated that the emperor must confirm it five times before executing it. Since then, Li Shimin has never killed anyone.
It can be said that Li Shimin is indeed a genius of governing the country, but he is a bit hard on the issue of relatives.
Compared with the above two, Li Shimin didn't make any big mistakes in policy. He was the founder of the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty. Qin Mugong and Qin Xiaogong were the founders of the Qin Dynasty, and Wenjing was the founder of the Han Dynasty. Ying Zheng and Liu Che both belong to that advantage, and I deserve it. Li Longji, Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty, should be the emperor of the Tang Dynasty. These three people are comparable.
The rule of Zhenguan was first caused by Li Shimin's reuse of talents and good governance. Secondly, during the party struggle, occupation, the Yellow Scarf Rebellion, the Eight Kings Rebellion and Yongjia Rebellion, when the Sui Dynasty was unified, people needed a stable environment and did not want any more turmoil. Finally, Li Shimin cherished this opportunity, because he forced his father to kill his brother to succeed him, so he tried to be a good emperor.
