The video takes us to ancient times; Li Er transforms into the Tongtian Emperor of Shu Han.

I can fight wars, but I can't be an emperor.

Hearing this, Zhang Liang breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, it wasn't anything outrageous.

Moreover, if these words were to reach Liu Bang's ears, they might make him happy for a long time.

After all, this is tantamount to Han Xin admitting that he was inferior to Liu Bang in some way.

This can be seen as an admission that Liu Bang was a good emperor.

For someone with his arrogant nature, this is no easy feat!

"So their claim that I would not rebel is pure nonsense."

"At that time, the Han Dynasty's defenses were riddled with holes in my eyes. I had at least five ways to drive straight into Luoyang, but I gave them up."

“It’s not that I lack the ability, nor is it as they say, that I’m indecisive and wouldn’t rebel.”

"I can conquer the world, but I can't govern it. Rather than becoming a second tyrannical Qin, I would rather be a good King of Chu. I just didn't expect that I wouldn't even be able to be King of Chu now."

Han Xin smiled, seemingly mocking himself.

If he had known things would turn out this way, he doesn't know if he would have made the same choice.

“You have unparalleled talent, but you still need to be more open-minded. Wealth and glory are nothing but fleeting clouds. As for the so-called family inheritance, you have seen the end result.”

"Do you want your descendants to become parasites on the great dynasties, like those aristocratic families, and ultimately be eliminated?"

"If it were me, I would rather they live ordinary lives than be remembered for their infamy."

Zhang Liang wasn't actually that open-minded in the past.

But after reviewing the data time and time again, he finally understood.

Rather than let one's family be remembered with infamy for eternity, it's better to let one's story end with one's own generation.

As for family, a comfortable life is enough.

If you were to serve by the king's side and incur his wrath even for a single night, you might face the execution of your entire family.

His relationship with Liu Bang would only last for his generation; Liu Bang's descendants would not have much to worry about in the future.

"Perhaps it's right for you to play it safe."

Seeing Zhang Liang's smiling face, Han Xin nodded helplessly.

In terms of talent, the only person he could acknowledge in the entire Han Dynasty was Zhang Liang.

And that is indeed the case now.

Zhang Liang was far superior to him in handling matters outside of military affairs.

Beyond the sky.

Hearing Han Xin's lament, many people shared the same sentiment.

"If we're talking about how wise people protect themselves, then Marquis Liu is definitely a prime example."

"Once he has achieved success and fame, he will leave without a trace, keeping his achievements and fame hidden, and there will never be any possibility of his merits overshadowing those of his master."

"His family was one of the best preserved in the early Han Dynasty."

Zhang Liang's abilities and wisdom, coupled with his loyalty to Liu Bang and his outstanding contributions to the founding of the Han Dynasty, have earned him a very high place in the hearts of countless people.

He was arguably the most perfect minister in the eyes of countless emperors.

He played a crucial role in conquering the country.

Once the world was at peace, he concealed his achievements and fame, keeping such a low profile that you wouldn't even notice him unless you specifically summoned him.

Such a person was indeed a favorite minister of all the founding emperors!

Know when to advance and when to retreat!

"I disagree. If we cannot share wealth and honor, then what is the point of my brothers fighting alongside me to conquer this empire?"

In the end, it was Li Er who stood up to oppose it.

He did not object to Zhang Liang's prudent approach of protecting himself.

But he didn't like the way those emperors envied him.

If you cannot promise wealth and honor to those who follow you in conquering the world, then why should you expect them to risk their lives to build an empire for you?

Is it really because of your own charm?

Do you really think everyone is that succubus?

"Without those brothers, I might not have been able to conquer the Tang Dynasty so easily. Therefore, they deserve this wealth and honor, and their noble families are more deserving of this power than the aristocratic families!"

This is also one of the reasons why Li Er has always wanted to undermine the prestige of aristocratic families.

"...except for you."

"Who doesn't know that the greatest contributor to the Tang Dynasty is you, Li Er? Whose achievements surpass yours?"

Few people agreed with Li Er's remarks.

The fear of someone whose achievements overshadow the emperor's own will always be a source of apprehension for every emperor.

Except for Li Er.

He could walk up to each of his generals with dignity and tell them that he deserves more than half the credit for conquering this country.

And no one can object to it.

Because he really does!

"But no matter what, a meritorious official is a meritorious official. Forcing a meritorious official to be so prudent in protecting himself is a disgrace to the emperor!"

Although Li Er also acknowledged that the capabilities of the unmanned were superior to his.

But he still maintained his own views.

If everyone thinks about protecting themselves, then even if they gain the world, they will inevitably suffer mistreatment in the future, just like the Song Dynasty!

However, the sky did not give them any further chance to argue.

The final roundup of the list of incompetent emperors has begun!

[Top Ten Worst Rulers in History]

First: The second emperor of the Qin Dynasty.

He single-handedly destroyed the entire Qin Empire, committing tyrannical murders, and all of the First Emperor's other children died at his hands!

Qin Er Shi, Hu Hai!

Upon seeing the lines of text on the sky, Ying Zheng, who had intended to offer a few words of fairness amidst the debate, nearly lost his footing.

Will it destroy the entire Qin Empire?

Qin Er Shi?

He had thought that the Qin Dynasty might one day perish, but he never imagined it.

It died after only two generations!

And why is it Hu Hai? How could it be Hu Hai?

In any case, he can't possibly be the one to succeed to the throne!

What about Meng Tian?

What about Fusu?

What happened to the 200,000 troops I left for you?!

With an army of 200,000 men at his disposal, and a top general like Meng Tian by his side, he had the Qin Dynasty's top general.

How the hell did you manage to hand over the position of the second emperor to Huhai?

Even if you are truly a brotherly friend and want to show some humility, are all the ministers in the court dead? How could they just sit by and watch such a thing happen?

Even though he never explicitly said that Prince Fusu would succeed him, his actions over the years suggest otherwise.

Any minister in the court who is not blind should be able to see who his chosen successor is.

His reluctance to make a public commitment is simply because he is unwilling to acknowledge the fact that he is getting old; he wants to pursue immortality.

But if they failed to achieve immortality, shouldn't they have taken the opportunity to support Fusu's ascension to the throne?

"How could this be? What happened after my death? Why was Huhai chosen to succeed me?!"

"And why would he slaughter my other children? They were all his brothers!"

Ying Zheng did not understand.

He really couldn't understand it no matter what.

If Hu Hai had truly ascended to the throne as the Second Emperor, his brothers should have posed no threat to him.

But why would he still wield the butcher's knife?

And why did the Qin Dynasty perish after only two generations?

Regardless of who succeeds to the throne, isn't the legacy he left behind already substantial enough?

The remnants of the six states were suppressed and unable to raise their heads, and the Great Wall to defend against the Xiongnu had been completed.

Is there any other force that could threaten the Qin Dynasty in the short term?
