Although I have the impulse to stop reading book reviews, it is impossible not to read them. The opinions of some book friends are still very reliable.
Regarding this book, there are mainly the following questions:
1. The title of the book.
Liu Xiu, the founder of the Han Dynasty, I don’t need to popularize it, I know it. As for why I still choose it this way, it’s because I like it, isn’t it? The Battle of Luan City in the book is somewhat of a tribute to the "Great Magister", although some of the analogies are inappropriate.
Furthermore, I often hear that history is like a little girl who can be dressed up by others. I insist on an explanation. After the death of the protagonist, the descendants agreed on the name of the temple and changed Liu Xiu's temple name to "Shizu". Isn't it okay?
2. The most controversial thing recently is probably the death of Geng.
Regarding this, I have said that it was set long ago. The original idea was to refer to original history. Due to Geng's funeral issues, he had a fierce conflict with Yang Bin, which triggered a court dispute and changes in the political situation. However, after being scolded, it was just brushed off. The treatment of Yang Bin will also be left behind.
In addition, it also foreshadows the portrayal of the eldest son of the emperor. The innocent son lost his mother and so on. This is considered a spoiler, but it may not be written like that in the future.
3. Regarding the character creation and facial paralysis of the protagonist.
Regarding this point, purely due to the lack of writing power, I feel embarrassed to see the cold eyes, the dark heart, the frown, etc. In the following, I have tried to avoid emphasizing this point deliberately. However, as far as the environment and situation the protagonist is currently facing in the book is concerned, he may still be unable to help but express his sorrow, because in my own imagination, he is a bit autistic.
4. The identity of the Shatuo people
On this point, hehehe. I have nothing to say to criticize "Emperor of the Huns", but I still criticize this book as "miscellaneous" and "barbarian". Really, I am convinced. Anyone who carelessly trolls foreigners and deliberately promotes the rhythm of the nation will be banned permanently.
5. Questions about the rhythm of this book
Anyone who has persisted in reading the book until now should know that this book is a slow-burner. Regarding the growth and development of the protagonist, I try my best to write in a "reasonable" direction. Of course, there must be many omissions, and I welcome corrections on this.
Many people say that the protagonist is too cowardly, and even after he ascends the throne, he lets others take advantage of him. However, those who read the book carefully should be able to find that the protagonist has really done a lot since he became emperor, including eliminating border troubles, abolishing government affairs, eliminating harsh tasks, and calming people's hearts.
Among the ministers, Su Fengji was taken down, and the power of Dou, Li, Feng, Zhao and other former dynasty officials was added. The powerful officials in Hedong have been suppressed and suppressed. Is it necessary to clear out all the court officials and turn the court into a single-speaker hall? Power imbalance?
In terms of the army, Shi Hongzhao and Liu Xin were either moved or demoted, and Shang Hongqian was appointed as commander. In the protagonist's old army, Han Tong is in the Protecting Holy Army, Sun Li is in the Xiaodi Army, Ma Quanyi is the second in command of the Longqi Army, Xiang Xun is the Imperial City Envoy, Li Chongju is in charge of the inner palace, Yang Ye is in charge of Tongguan, Murong Yanzhao and Luo Yan You and others guarded the northern frontier.
Two brothers-in-law, Fu Zhaoxin and Gao Huaide, were also appointed as generals of the Imperial Army to balance the Li family's relatives. Young men such as Zhao Yanjin, Wang Hanlun, Li Chongjin, and Zhang Yongde were also being promoted and appointed. The confidants of Shi Hongzhao and Liu Xin were also disparaging, which I have clearly mentioned.
This is not enough. Is it necessary to rebuild all the hundreds of thousands of forbidden troops in one step? Why? Looking for death and chaos? When I saw it, I commented that after the protagonist ascended the throne, he ignored the old department. How did you see that the previous promotions and important positions did not count? Or should we say that the protagonist’s interactions with every old department must be described in detail? As an emperor, shouldn't the people he interacts with on a daily basis be prime ministers, ministers, senior generals?
In terms of the New Deal, let alone rapid progress, it has made some achievements at least. It has stopped non-urgent tasks, pacified thieves, reduced people's burdens on farming and mulberry cultivation, revised the system of punishments, closed down weapon workshops, and established civil servants... These all depend on Less than. If we talk about policies, hundreds of strategies a day, the protagonist can come up with them, but who will implement them and who will supervise them, regardless of practical factors and local reactions?
PS: I saw some book friends raised objections to the protagonist’s opposition to the “amnesty”, which is quite reasonable. On this point, I will just tell you my own opinion.
In my opinion, if you commit a crime, you should receive the punishment you deserve. There is no doubt about this. Benevolent government does not apply to a few criminals. If you want to show kindness, maintain rule, and be humane, you can allow family members to visit the prison, or reduce the punishment according to the circumstances, but there is no need to provide blanket pardons, even for minor crimes.
The ancients had their own reasons for amnesty, but in the case of the protagonist, it doesn't work. What good does it do good people to care about evil people? Even if he is given a chance to reform, it must be after he has accepted the punishment.
As for the issue of sentencing bias, it can never be avoided. We can only try to give people a channel for "appeal" from a policy and legal perspective. It is impossible to be perfect.
PPS: You are welcome to correct me on the problems in this book, but for those who are maliciously attacking and belittling, I’m sorry. If you see it, you will be permanently banned. Those who have been poisoned and can't bear it, please send me off without any thanks.
