This is a plan for the present, and the two emperors who opened the Sky Mirror will be counted at the same time.

In Wu Chen's eyes, these two civilian emperors have their own pride and unknown sides.

The inventory is over.

Both Liu Bang and Zhu Yuanzhang are waiting for the blessings to come down from the mirror of the sky.

On different planes, the two emperors quietly looked at the sky mirror, they didn't know what reward Wu Chen would give them.

[The inventory of the two emperors is over. In view of their contribution to history, the special rewards and benefits are as follows. 】

[Give the seal of the emperor to protect the country for thousands of years]

[Give the stele of Tongde, shake the generals, and set the universe. 】

[Bless the weather and the weather, the country is peaceful and the people are safe. 】

With this reward, many platforms are all shocked, such a reward is simply unprecedented.

Emperor's Seal, Tongde Monument.

This is simply what the emperor dreamed of, but why didn't his lifespan increase?
This question is also the doubt of Liu Bang and Zhu Yuanzhang.

[In view of the fact that the two emperors killed many heroes, there is no life reward. 】

After saying this, Liu Bang and Zhu Yuanzhang were even more embarrassed. They didn't expect that it was because of their own mistakes that the platform gave them less than a hundred years of life.

At this time, even if he regretted dying, he had nothing to say.

On the platform, the brilliance remains the same.

In the long river of history, many great emperors have emerged.

Their road to emperor is not so easy.

There are no flowers and applause, only thorns and dangers.

In order to ascend to the throne, their feet are covered with mountains of corpses and seas of blood.

Even so, they insisted on walking on this lonely and irreversible road.

For this position above [-] people, they had to give up many emotions that ordinary people should have.

Liu Bang, Emperor Gaozu of the Han Dynasty, after founding the Han Dynasty, because he was "afraid of his ability" to Han Xin, he gave him a "crime to add" to remove him;
Zhu Yuanzhang, a peasant emperor from grass roots, almost slaughtered all the heroes who fought with him all the way after he founded the Ming Dynasty;

These two emperors have their own thoughts and viciousness.

Liu Bang, Emperor Gaozu of the Han Dynasty, was born in a peasant family, even a peasant who was not very motivated. After being scolded by his father, he still went his own way.

When he first became an official, he was only the head of the Sishui Pavilion in Peixian County, and at this time he did not see that he had the ability to rule the world.

The opportunity for everything to start should be that he had to hide in Mangdang Mountain because he released Xingtu.

After Chen Sheng and Wu Guang's uprising, he gathered three thousand disciples to respond, captured Pei County, and called himself Pei Gong.

Liu Bang met Xiao He when he was the head of the pavilion in Peixian County, and became a close friend with him. It can even be said that Xiao He had the kindness of knowing Liu Bang.

After the Chen Sheng and Wu Guang uprising, Xiao He tried his best to persuade the county magistrate to recall Liu Bang who had fled.

After the local people killed the incompetent county magistrate, he encouraged the vacillating Liu Bang to recommend himself as the leader of Pei County.

Liu Bang's evaluation of Xiao He has a sentence: "I am no better than Xiao He to govern the country, care for the people, provide military supplies, and pay food and salaries." ''

Judging from this comment, Xiao He can definitely be called an all-round general.

He recommended Han Xin to Liu Bang when he was just an unknown person, and the subsequent "Chasing Han Xin under the Moon" is enough to show his talent and loyalty to Liu Bang.

It can be said that Xiao He's contribution to Liu Bang's unification of the world is incomparable.

Even without Xiao He, there would be no later Han Gaozu.

But even such a loyal and capable courtier was inevitably questioned by the monarch.

But Xiao He used his wisdom to resolve Liu Bang's suspicion time and time again.

Liu Bang was worried about Xiao He's influence in Guanzhong, so he sent his family to the battlefield; when Liu Bang wanted to get rid of Han Xin, he unswervingly killed Han Xin who trusted him; When he was gaining influence among the people, he immediately made a gesture of "oppressing the people" and used self-defilement to protect himself.

But Han Xin, who was as powerful as him, was not so lucky.

In the early stage, Han Xin was reused by Liu Bang with his outstanding talent.

When attacking Zhao Guo, he fought with his back against the water, defeated the Zhao army, and captured Zhao Wangxie alive.

When attacking Qi State, he took advantage of Qi State's relaxation of vigilance against the Han army, launched a fierce attack with ingenious tactics, and destroyed Qi State again.

Seeing all this, Xiang Yu was terrified, so he sent Wu She to lobby Han Xin, wanting him to join him, but Han Xin refused.

In the end, Han Xin helped Liu Bang defeat Xiang Yu with his own talents.

At this point, it can still be seen that Han Xin is still very grateful for Liu Bang's reuse and trust in him, and he is also full of respect and loyalty to Liu Bang.

Liu Bang was over half a century old when he established the Han Dynasty, and when he entered his later years, he became more and more suspicious of the heroes who fought with him in the past.

In order to consolidate the imperial power, he began to use some means to clean up the kings with different surnames, and Han Xin was the first to be dealt with.

When someone accused Han Xin of treason, Liu Bang had already thought of killing him.

For the first time, he adopted Chen Ping's strategy. When the princes and kings gathered in Chen County, he caught Han Xin for questioning, but because there was no real evidence, he had to let him go, but he was reduced to Huaiyinhou.

In the second year, Empress Lu used Xiao He's trick to trick Han Xin into the palace, and finally beheaded him in the bell room of Changle Palace.

Han Xin's ending left only a sigh of "Success is Xiao He, and defeat is Xiao He".

When the cunning rabbit dies, the running dog cooks; when the birds are gone, the good bow is hidden; the empire is broken, and the counselors die.

Since ancient times, the heroes of the founding of the country seem to be unable to escape such an ending.

But for Han Xin, Liu Bang really seemed to have a reason to kill him.

Han Xin is a "Soldier Immortal", a person who dared to say that he wanted to be a general when he saw Liu Bang for the first time.

His talent and ambition made Liu Bang fearful.When the Han Dynasty was established, Liu Bang was already middle-aged, but Han Xin was only 35 years old. He still had a lot of time and ability, but Liu Bang did not.

Liu Bang was afraid. He was afraid that his descendants would not be able to restrain such a capable, ambitious and meritorious veteran.

So he had to act first to avoid future troubles.

Han Xin is his counselor on the way to unify the world, and even a brother.

The friendship between the two who lived and died together on this road is always indelible.

After learning of Han Xin's death, Liu Bang's reaction was "be happy and pity him".

He felt that Han Xin's death was a pity, and even made him feel sad.

Han Xin's career mainly relied on Liu Bang's platform, but with Han Xin's strength at the time, it was entirely possible to fight alone. Although Peng Yue had already joined Liu Bang, he was still a little vacillating.

So Liu Bang had to say in advance that he would share after the war. In other words, Han Xin and Peng Yue would both get a large number of fiefdoms after the event was completed. This moved Han Xin and Peng Yue to send troops together with Liu Bang.

This is also easy to understand. After all, everyone is out to hang out in order to get rich. If there is no benefit, no one is willing to take risks for you.

Because of the joining of Peng Yue, Han Xin and other princes, Xiang Yu was besieged to death in Gaixia. With the strength of Liu Bang's headquarters, it was difficult to completely destroy Xiang Yu.

So Liu Bang and Zhu Yuanzhang are still different. Liu Bang often has to rely on the strength of his allies, but Zhu Yuanzhang basically relies on himself.

After all, Liu Bang ascended to the throne, but those princes and kings with different surnames became hidden dangers and threats to the country. This time, the helpers became enemies, so Liu Bang had no choice but to conquer by himself.

Han Xin is the number one general under Liu Bang. Han Xin once took refuge in Xiang Yu, but was not reused, so he defected to Liu Bang. With the help of Xiao He, he became a general and started a magnificent life.

It was with the help of Han Xin that Liu Bang could achieve great things. On the road of Liu Bang's unification, Han Xin played a vital role.

Xiang Yu enfeoffed Liu Bang to the land of Shu, and Liu Bang was quite dissatisfied with this. After all, it was agreed at the time that whoever entered Xianyang first would be the king.

It's just that Xiang Yu didn't implement it, but his skills were not as good as others, so Liu Bang could only endure it.Shu has natural barriers as barriers, and the safety factor is quite high, but Liu Bang's ambition is to conquer the world. At this time, God sent Han Xin to Liu Bang.

The strongest military genius in history, not only successfully brought out the Han army, but also pacified the Sanqin area with a strategy, that is, "Ming Xiu plank road secretly crossing Chencang".

Han Xin ordered Fan Kui to repair the plank road into Shu, and secretly ordered troops to send troops from Chencang Road, which caught his opponent by surprise and occupied most of Guanzhong.

Since then, Han Xin's combat power has become more and more powerful. When Wei State was destroyed and Zhao State was captured, the attack must be won and the battle must be conquered. No one in the world can match Han Xin.

Liu Bang was very excited at first, because Han Xin is such a rare talent, but with the accumulation of Han Xin's military exploits, Liu Bang became more and more afraid of him.

Han Xin is very ambitious and is extremely good at leading troops. If Han Xin becomes king on his own, Liu Bang has nothing he can do, so Liu Bang also took some measures.

In 204 BC, Liu Bang went directly to Zhao's military camp and claimed to be the envoy of the King of Han.

At that time, before Zhang Er and Han Xin got up, Liu Bang went in and took Han Xin's soldier talisman. It can be seen that Liu Bang no longer trusted Han Xin.

If Liu Bang had absolute trust in Han Xin, and Han Xin could sincerely help Liu Bang command the three armies, then Liu Bang would not have to attend the battle in person in the subsequent battles.

In fact, Han Xin also has great ambitions, and Liu Bang is also very suspicious. It is destined that the two will part ways sooner or later.

Liu Bang owned Han Xin, but Liu Bang didn't trust Han Xin. Zhu Yuanzhang was different. Xu Da and Chang Yuchun were the most outstanding military generals at that time, and they all helped Zhu Yuanzhang do things wholeheartedly.

Let's look at Zhu Yuanzhang in turn.

At the end of the Yuan Dynasty and the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, the weather was extremely bad, resulting in constant famine everywhere, and the people had to flee everywhere.

In addition, the Mongols carried out a cruel classification of various races, which made the people everywhere miserable.

As a result, the people rose up one after another, hoping to get rid of the cruel rule of the Yuan Dynasty.

In such a turbulent situation, Zhu Yuanzhang blazed a trail of blood by virtue of his own ability in such a chaotic world where danger and opportunity coexist.

Zhu Yuanzhang's original name was Zhu Chongba. He can be said to be a model who started from scratch and finally succeeded in starting a business.

His "whiteness" is not simply a lack of venture capital.

He was born in a peasant family, but lost his family because of plague and natural disasters.

So, when he was under 16 years old, he chose to become a monk. Although he could only do the most low-level work in the temple, he could still have something to eat.

It's a pity that the good times didn't last long. Soon after, there was a great famine in the whole county, and there was no food in the temple. The abbot had to dismiss the monks in the temple. In desperation, Zhu Chongba embarked on the road of escape again.

A 17-year-old boy wandered alone in this cruel world for three years.

In these three years, he has tasted the warmth and coldness of human relationships, and seen countless naked human natures.

In order to survive, he begged on the street and even entered other people's homes to steal food and money.In this troubled world, begging and stealing seem to be commonplace.

These three years of wandering life changed him from an ignorant boy into a cold and sensitive beast.

He has seen more of the dark side of human nature and the coldness of the world, and he understands the meaning of "people don't kill heaven and earth for themselves"'.

Drifting in the rivers and lakes, people advocate violence to solve problems, which makes Zhu Chongba develop a ruthless and indifferent personality.

An opportunity led him to join the Guo Zixing Red Scarf Army, and from then on embarked on the path of armed resistance against power, and finally became the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty.

He changed his name to Zhu Yuanzhang, which is actually a homonym of "Zhu Yuanzhang", expressing his hope to be a sharp weapon to kill the Yuan Dynasty and give the people a better living environment.

After he ascended the throne, he began to actively rectify the administration of officials and clean up the officialdom, the most famous of which was the "Four Hongwu Cases" that made him fall into the title of "tyrant".

The first case is the "empty seal case".

In the early years, Zhu Yuanzhang saw many Mongolian nobles' various acts of favoritism and fraud, and he hated political deception.

So with the help of these seemingly insignificant blank documents, a large-scale rectification of officials began.

During the whole process, 8 to [-] people were killed.

It can be seen that the suspicious Zhu Yuanzhang cleaned up all potential and superficial suspects at once.

Although the whole process was bloody, the officialdom became much cleaner and more transparent.

The second case is the ''Hu Weiyong case''.

Hu Weiyong was the founding hero who accompanied Zhu Yuanzhang all the way to conquer the country, and was also the last central prime minister of the Ming Dynasty.

As we all know, the history of ancient China is a history of continuous strengthening of centralization.

It is no exception to Zhu Yuanzhang.

After going through all kinds of hardships, he finally sat on the throne, but found that he still had to be controlled by others, so he came up with a plan - to abolish the prime minister system.

He spent seven years pampering Hu Weiyong step by step, until he gradually became a powerful and arbitrarily powerful prime minister.

In the 18th year of Hongwu, someone accused Hu Weiyong of treason.

At this time, Zhu Yuanzhang felt that the time was right, so he wiped out Hu Weiyong's party in one fell swoop.

More than [-] people, including Lee Sun-chang, the first hero of the founding of the country, were implicated in this case.

So far, the era of China having a prime minister is over, and the imperial power has been further strengthened.

The remaining two cases are the ''Guo Huan case'' and the ''Lanyu case''.

These two cases also involved tens of thousands of people, but their political significance cannot be ignored.

Zhu Yuanzhang hated official corruption the most, and sentenced all corrupt officials to death.

But even so, Guo Huan and others still knew the law and broke the law, so Zhu Yuanzhang took more severe measures to punish corrupt officials.

According to statistics, after the Guo Huan case is over, there are basically only one or two representatives left in the entire six departments, which shows the intensity of the rectification.

Zhu Yuanzhang's original intention to deal with Lan Yu is almost the same as Liu Bang's reason for dealing with Han Xin-Zhu Yuanzhang was worried that his descendants would not be able to deter this proud courtier, so he first dealt with this obstacle for Zhu Yunqi.

But it's clear that Sapphire isn't the last hurdle to be dealt with.

Followed by Xia Hou Zhou Dexing, Ying Guogong Fu Youde, Song Guogong Feng Sheng.

So far, all the founding heroes who followed Zhu Yuanzhang have almost been wiped out.

Zhu Yuanzhang is a typical representative of "Tian Shelang in the dynasty and Tianzitang in the evening" in Chinese history.

The life of fleeing in exile in the early years taught him the principle of "no drug and no husband".

His ruthlessness and determination enabled him to lead the people to overthrow the rule of the Yuan Dynasty, and deal with the heroes of the past without any mercy. Only then did the political situation become clear.

Zhu Yuanzhang, who was born at the bottom, can better understand the difficulty of life for the common people. Such an emperor may be a tyrant for officials, but he is a rare wise king for the common people.

The turbulent current situation created his ruthless methods, but these methods also opened up a powerful Ming Dynasty for future generations.

When Han Xin defected to Liu Bang, Liu Bang was already the king of the Han Dynasty, and when Xu Da defected to Zhu Yuanzhang, Zhu Yuanzhang was still leading the horse in Guo Zixing's army. Everything was just getting started. From the emotional level, Xu Da and Zhu Yuanzhang were much deeper.Xu Da is resolute and brave, good at leading troops, generous and open-minded, and has high prestige in the army, and Zhu Yuanzhang entrusts him with a heavy responsibility.

In the battle against Chen Youliang and Zhang Shicheng, Xu Da also made great contributions.

After Zhu Yuanzhang became emperor, he still relied on Xu Da. Almost every time he went to the Northern Expedition, Xu Da went out as a marshal.

In the 27th year of Zhizheng, Xu Da was the general who conquered the captives, and Chang Yuchun was the deputy general. In just one year, they recovered the sixteen prefectures of Yanyun, conquered Dadu, and the Yuan Dynasty fell.

In the third year of Hongwu, Xu Da was the general who conquered the captives and Li Wenzhong was the deputy general.

Throughout his life as a soldier, Xu Da made great military exploits for the Ming Empire, and the number one hero of the Ming Dynasty is none other than Xu Da.

It was because of the commander-in-chief talent like Xu Da, and the mutual trust between the monarch and his ministers, that Zhu Yuanzhang dared to sit in the rear and hand over the military power. If not, he would definitely march in person.

Of course, there were too many famous generals in the early Ming Dynasty. Rare talents like Feng Sheng, Fu Youde, and Lan Yu were all around Zhu Yuanzhang.

On the other hand, in the early Han Dynasty, Han Xin, Yingbu, and Peng Yue, although they were strong, could not be of one mind and one mind with Liu Bang, for which Liu Bang also had to bear some responsibility.

Of course, Liu Bang's biggest feature is his ability to govern people. He fought soy sauce in the battle to destroy Qin, and Xiang Yu fought the big battles.

But he was able to win over some professionals to his side, thus killing Xiang Yu.

Because I couldn't restrain the generals below, after the establishment of the Han Dynasty, I killed these heroes one by one.

In the end, there were rebellions in various places, or the Xiongnu invaded, and he had no generals to use, so he had to drive himself to conquer.

Zhu Yuanzhang actually led the troops to fight in the beginning. He fought all the way from a horse-leader to the generalissimo. In the process, he took in a group of younger brothers.

Because he can hold these younger brothers down, and before destroying Chen Youliang, he was the one who personally commanded the battle.In the subsequent battles, due to other considerations, Zhu Yuanzhang no longer stood out.

There are also differences between the two. After the establishment of the Han and Ming dynasties, Liu Bang really forced the subordinates to rebel. Zhu Yuanzhang deliberately said that the subordinates rebelled, and the purpose was to kill these generals who threatened his own dynasty.
