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

"Indeed, to achieve such accomplishments at such a young age is enough to make countless people look up to our ancestor."

When most people talk about Liu Bang, his own brilliance is easily overshadowed by the talent of those around him.

The succubus of the Great Han Dynasty was certainly one of the reasons that enabled him to succeed in the end, but it was by no means the only one.

What's even more astonishing is his terrifying learning ability!

At the age of forty, he transformed from an ordinary person who was used to being a wandering knight and a local ruffian into someone who could talk eloquently with countless top talents.

Aside from the immense effort he himself needs to put in, the most important factor is his astonishing talent.

For example, Zhang Liang was good at overall planning and strategy, Han Xin was good at military tactics and warfare, and Xiao He was good at logistics and coordination. They each had their own strengths.

If Liu Bang truly knew nothing about these things, how could he have dared to delegate power to them?

Being able to use people and being good at recognizing talent are certainly aspects.

On the other hand, he himself is also proficient in these areas, which is why he knows the achievements of these talents in these fields and dares to truly delegate authority to them.

Knowing people and making good use of them are two things, and they are two things that are extremely challenging to one's own abilities!

"So, Your Majesty, if Emperor Gaozu was truly the useless and incompetent person you describe, why would Han Xin, Zhang Liang, and others have served him so wholeheartedly?"

"And how could he dare to delegate power to someone whose abilities are unclear?"

"The last one who arbitrarily delegated power and then took it back is still on the list of the tyrannical emperors in the immortals' court. His name was Zhu Youjian."

"The fundamental premise of recognizing and employing talent is knowing how capable the person you are and whether they are worthy of the authority you are given. It is not about giving authority based on someone's empty boasting. That is not recognizing and employing talent; that is being foolish."

Zhu Di was filled with admiration.

Even someone as proud as him held Liu Bang in high esteem.

Xiang Yu: "..."

Although I really don't want to admit Liu Bang's abilities, judging from what these people say, plus the immortals' assessment, they are also full of praise.

Is this villain really that outstanding?

Did I really underestimate him before?

"Ahem, don't flatter me, I only know a little about it myself."

Even though Liu Bang was thick-skinned, he still coughed lightly, somewhat embarrassed, in the face of the overwhelming praise.

I know I am excellent, so please be modest and stop praising me for a little while.

We have to give those who come after us a chance.

At the same time, the writing on the sky also changed.

Liu Bang's later life was quite eventful.

Perhaps he didn't have much ill will towards the Qin Dynasty, or perhaps he simply didn't care too much about it.

After unifying the country, Liu Bang did not, like some later dynasties, revise history books to smear the Qin Dynasty. Instead, he restarted the sacrifices to Ying Zheng, so that the incense offerings of the former First Emperor would not be cut off.

Moreover, even as his life was nearing its end, he was far more composed than most emperors.

They did not try to find any alchemists who could prolong their lives, nor did they spend a lot of money to find the so-called elixir of immortality.

He faced his death with equanimity.

"This……"

"I am indeed quite open-minded about birth, aging, sickness, and death, but can this be considered an achievement?"

Liu Bang was somewhat stunned.

Is this something that can be singled out and presented as an achievement?

"Strictly speaking, it's not an exaggeration at all."

"Looking ahead, the First Emperor went mad in his search for the elixir of immortality on his deathbed."

"Looking back, even Emperor Taizong of Tang couldn't escape this temptation in his later years."

"Countless emperors, whether foolish or wise, have pursued unrealistic immortality, even at the cost of squandering vast amounts of wealth and neglecting state affairs."

"Your Majesty, it is truly remarkable that you can be so open-minded."

Old Zhu expressed his approval of the writing on the sky.

After all, Liu Bang had a predecessor, Ying Zheng, who pursued immortality.

They even went so far as to send Xu Fu with three thousand boys and girls to sea to search for the so-called immortals.

And if we think about it in detail...

If Ying Zheng hadn't consumed too many elixirs of dubious authenticity concocted by Xu Fu, causing his health to deteriorate and ultimately leading to his sudden death in Shaqiu, Zhao Gao and Li Si wouldn't have had the opportunity to alter the imperial edict.

If Fusu had succeeded to the throne normally, and given his appeasement and pacification methods, he could have easily extended Qin's life by at least twenty years.

Twenty years later, no matter what happens to the Qin Dynasty, Liu Bang will at least have no chance.

The fate of a dynasty could be changed because of this!

"Yes, really?"

Seeing that most people admired his choice, Liu Bang was truly flattered.

He admired Lord Xinling from a young age.

As he grew older, he witnessed the Qin Emperor's eastern tour. Although he was in a humble position, he still harbored lofty ambitions.

Now, after seven years of fighting, I am finally sitting in the position I once longed for, so there is really nothing to regret.

He had already fulfilled all his ideals in this life, so what meaning would immortality have for him?

Looking at the life of Emperor Gaozu of Han, Liu Bang.

Born a commoner, he overthrew the Qin Dynasty through his own efforts and gradually ascended to the throne.

Many rumors say that a certain minister helped Liu Bang conquer half of the country.

In reality, the real Liu Bang personally led his troops into battle at the forefront of every campaign.

The civil and military officials under his command have indeed made great contributions, but if we were to talk about the most important entry on the list of merits, it would definitely be the one drawn by his own hand!

After ascending the throne, he adopted a policy of recuperation and development, released a large number of slaves, and changed the course of Qin Er Shi's actions by implementing a policy of light taxes and levies.

It was under his leadership that a low tax rate of one-fifteenth of the total tax was implemented, truly alleviating the burden on the people!

Many people call Xiang Yu a hero.

But how many people know that the word "hero" first appeared in the Han Dynasty, and was created to describe Liu Bang!

His life was tainted by scandals, such as abandoning his wife and children and engaging in a marriage alliance.

But no matter what stains he may have, they cannot erase his achievements!

At the age of forty, he rose up as a commoner and spent a total of fourteen years establishing the four-hundred-year-old Han Dynasty!

Based on this achievement, his name should be listed among the wise rulers throughout thousands of years of history!

As the words on the screen were revealed to the very end, Li Er finally had his fill of the challenge.

The moment the image suddenly disappeared, the sky merged into one.

Li Er returned to the Tang Dynasty with satisfaction.

Rewards and the like became secondary to him.

At least he had a lot of fun during this challenge.

Although he was surrounded by top generals and brilliant strategists when he was conquering the world.

The feeling of having all the top military generals and strategists recorded in history under one's command is quite different from the satisfaction one gets from this experience!

"Li Er, how does it feel to have both Xiang Yu, the Hegemon-King, and Han Xin, the God of War, under your command at the same time?"

Old Zhu's tone was somewhat sour.

He would like to give it a try if given the chance!

"Don't worry, Lao Zhu, you'll have your chance too. The generals who conquered the six states were all renowned and brilliant generals!"
