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

Upon seeing the beginning of his own evaluation, Liu Che's face immediately darkened.

It's not that I'm upset that the immortal exposed my shortcomings, but rather that I saw a passage in one of his sayings.

A treacherous minister framed the crown prince!

He was very satisfied with Crown Prince Liu Ju.

He was instilled with integrity from a young age, and was upright and honest, and also quite talented.

Even though the reigns of Emperor Zhao and Emperor Xuan, as others have described, were not actually the work of Liu Ju, he had no intention of changing the crown prince.

He couldn't understand how a treacherous minister would dare to frame his crown prince!

And they were successfully framed!

This was what angered and baffled him the most!

"It has to be said that Emperor Wu was a ruthless man; he really had the heart to exterminate his own three clans."

Old Zhu teased from the side.

"Don't talk nonsense. It was purely a frame-up by treacherous officials. Crown Prince Liu Ju was put on the spot and had no choice but to raise an army to capture the treacherous officials. It's only natural that he was defeated in the end."

"In general, it is not surprising that such an outcome would result from the distrust between the son and the father, and the mutual suspicion between them."

Li Er wanted to say a few words of justice for Liu Che.

But after thinking about it, I realized that I was probably the least qualified person to say that.

He is unqualified as both a father and a son.

He considered himself a good emperor, but not a good father, much less a good son.

"But this also proves that the Liu family is truly cold-blooded. Ordinary emperors would ultimately be reluctant to kill their deposed crown princes, but Emperor Wu really killed them without hesitation, and there was no chance to back out later."

Liu Bang was full of complaints about these people calling the Liu family cold-blooded, but he didn't know how to refute them.

It seems that's really the case.

He himself was able to abandon his wife, children, and elderly parents during the Chu-Han Contention; based on that alone, there is no way to refute such claims.

And this can't be considered a bad thing.

At least as emperors, he and his descendants were competent!

"Who is this treacherous minister? How dare he frame the Crown Prince! I will exterminate his entire family, and all those involved will be executed!"

Seeing that these people were getting more and more excited as they talked, Liu Che could no longer suppress his anger.

He was very fond of his eldest son, otherwise he would not have made him the crown prince when the son was only seven years old.

That is why he was so angry after seeing the immortal's advice.

Even if Liu Ju really did rebel, he didn't believe he would execute him, let alone implicate his descendants and the empress!

"This case has far-reaching implications. In addition to treacherous officials like Jiang Chong, it also involves civil and military officials, with Prime Minister Liu Quli at the head."

"The former feared that Liu Ju, the Crown Prince who hated evil, would settle scores with them after he ascended the throne, while the latter hoped to establish Liu Bo, the King of Changyi, as the Crown Prince."

"If these two forces hadn't joined forces, Liu Ju could have captured Jiang Chong and brought him to meet you to clear up all the misunderstandings just because Jiang Chong framed him."

Li Er informed them in detail.

However, he felt that even if he had been informed in advance, Liu Che might not have been able to find a good solution.

After all, this matter involves too many people.

Even later, when Emperor Wu of Han (Liu Che) realized he had made a mistake and that Liu Ju was innocent, he could not exonerate him and could only execute some of the treacherous officials involved.

"Liu Quli..."

Upon seeing this name, Liu Che was so angry that his hands trembled uncontrollably.

He finally understood.

If they were just ordinary treacherous officials, they would never have been able to kill the Crown Prince and the Empress.

Only when the vast majority of officials in the court cooperate and keep him completely in the dark will there be a real chance to kill the crown prince!

And just as Li Er had guessed, even knowing that Liu Quli was involved, he couldn't do much.

He needs these people to maintain stability in the court so that he can have the resources to continue his campaigns!

Can……

"But now that the immortals have begun their inventory, you have been given the opportunity to change everything. Perhaps there are too many civil and military officials involved, but as long as you eliminate Jiang Chong and others in advance, the Crown Prince will be able to rest easy."

"Of course, in our opinion, Liu Fuling is more reliable than Liu Ju, whose abilities are unknown."

"With your methods and your utter incompetence in your later years, apart from Emperor Zhaoxuan, even a slightly less mediocre emperor would not have been able to handle the mess you left behind."

Old Zhu was telling the truth.

"The main problem is that you're too enthusiastic about the Fengshan ceremony. It's a pity that Emperor Zhenzong of Song was born too late, otherwise he would have gone to perform the Fengshan ceremony first. I reckon you would never have thought about performing the Fengshan ceremony in your life."

Zhao Kuangyin: "?"

Emperor Zhenzong of Song?

That's not the descendant of his useless younger brother, who could have won, and even had a chance to strike at the heart of the enemy, but chose to negotiate peace and sign the Treaty of Chanyuan.

How dare he even have the nerve to perform the Fengchan ceremony?!

"Guards, bring Zhao Huan here. I want to give him two more lashes!"

"These shameless bastards! They've ruined the reputation of the Great Song Dynasty!"

"Bastard!"

Return the Fengshan ceremony to Mount Tai!

Zhao Kuangyin felt he wasn't qualified at all, but this shameless person completely disgraced the Zhao Song dynasty.

This completely ruined the reputation of the Fengshan ceremony at Mount Tai!

"Am I really... so incompetent and foolish?"

Upon seeing Zhu's evaluation of him, Liu Che, unusually, also began to feel confused.

The main problem was that after Lao Zhu said those things, no one refuted him or stood up for him.

Doesn't this mean that these words are true?

Did he really reach the point where the country could perish if no one stepped in to protect it?

"What Lao Zhu said is mostly true."

"As the immortal said before, Emperor Wu, your merits and demerits are almost equal. If it weren't for your achievements changing the grand pattern of thousands of years, it's not impossible that you would be on the list of tyrannical emperors."

Although Li Er likes to speak the truth.

But if we're talking about Liu Che's mistakes, no one can deny them.

The witchcraft accusation implicated the crown prince and empress, and led to the deaths of hundreds of thousands of people in this disaster.

In his later years, he became ambitious and obsessed with immortals, indulging in the Fengshan ceremony and imperial tours. He was also extravagant and even started selling official positions and making heavy use of eunuchs.

If these faults alone were taken out of context, and an immortal were to rank him on the list of tyrannical rulers, no one would be able to utter a single word of dissent.

But surprisingly, he wasn't on the list of tyrannical rulers; instead, he ranked fifth on the list of wise rulers!

"This time, I really can't understand it. He has committed so many mistakes, yet he is still listed on the list of wise rulers among the immortals. What exactly did he do?"

Liu Bang was stunned.

In his view, Liu Che's mistakes were almost standard for a tyrannical ruler, and even more so than those of ordinary tyrannical rulers.

Unless he had saved the world in his early years, he couldn't understand why the immortals would have such a high opinion of him!

The next moment, the sky provided the answer to his confusion.

Some say that the unification of China began with the First Emperor, Qin Shi Huang.

But in fact, after the Qin Dynasty was overthrown, both Xiang Yu and Liu Bang did nothing but grant fiefdoms.

Even though Liu Bang was nominally the emperor of the Han Dynasty, he still enfeoffed a large number of vassal kings.

Until the emergence of what can be called the greatest open conspiracy in history.

It was under Liu Che that the true unification of the Han Dynasty was achieved!
