Video spoilers history, starting with the blitzkrieg on Poland

Cao Cao nodded with satisfaction.

At the same time, I felt a little nervous.

Because if I'm not mistaken, the next thing on the screen will be talking about Cao Cao himself.

And if we look at it from Liu Xie's perspective.

Then my image in the following scene...

I’m afraid it won’t be very good.

The sky continues.

Sure enough, Boss Cao appeared on the screen.

[Just when Liu Xie was in despair, Cao Cao, the governor of Yanzhou, appeared.]

Cao Cao saw the value of Liu Xie, so he persuaded Liu Xie to move the capital to Xuchang and appointed himself as the Minister of Works and General of Chariots and Cavalry.

【From then on, Liu Xie fell into Cao Cao's hands again. 】

[The era of "using the emperor to control the princes" began. 】

[Under Cao Cao's control, Liu Xie was still the emperor on the surface, but in reality he became a puppet in Cao Cao's hands.]

【His every move was closely monitored by Cao Cao.】

【Cao Cao took control of the imperial court by controlling Liu Xie. He excluded dissidents, suppressed political opponents, and paved the way for his own political ambitions.】

[Liu Xie was unwilling to be manipulated by Cao Cao, so he began to secretly accumulate strength and look for opportunities to resist.]

[One night in the fifth year of Jian'an, the candlelight in the Xuchang Palace flickered like a ghost.]

[Twenty-year-old Liu Xie bit his finger, wrote a secret decree on a piece of plain silk, and stuffed it into Dong Cheng's belt.]

[The Yidaizhao incident became the most tragic struggle in his life.]

[Knowing that Cao Cao had spies everywhere, he still used the emperor's blood as ink and risked his life to ignite the fire of resistance.]

[Dong Cheng conspired with the Left General Liu Bei, the Changshui Commandant Zhong Ji, the General Wu Zilan, and Wang Zifu and formulated a detailed plan.]

[However, their plan was leaked.]

[When Cao Cao learned of this, he flew into a rage and immediately ordered the execution of Dong Cheng and the others.]

[Cao Cao was still not satisfied, so he brought a sword into the palace and wanted to kill Dong Cheng's daughter, Concubine Dong.]

[At this time, Concubine Dong was already pregnant, and Liu Xie begged Cao Cao to spare Concubine Dong and her unborn child.]

【However, Cao Cao was ruthless and cruelly killed Concubine Dong. 】

[This incident dealt a heavy blow to Liu Xie.]

He realized that his resistance was so powerless.

[But even so, facing Cao Cao's questioning, Liu Xie said coldly:]

[“If you can help me, I will be grateful. If not, I hope you will spare me.”]

[If you are willing to assist me, do it well; if not, let me go. ]

【Cao Cao was horrified and left the palace immediately.】

[At this time, Liu Xie, who still had the spirit of a young man, did not give up despite the setbacks he encountered, and was still looking for opportunities.]

[Until the Empress Fu's secret letter incident broke out.]

[After seeing the tragic fate of Concubine Dong, Empress Fu was terrified. She wrote a letter to her father Fu Wan, telling him about Cao Cao's atrocities and asking him to secretly eliminate Cao Cao.]

【After the secret letter was leaked. 】

【Cao Cao was furious and forced Liu Xie to depose Empress Fu.】

[When Empress Fu, barefoot and with her hair loose, grabbed the corner of his clothes and begged, he could only smile miserably:]

[“I don’t know when my life will end!”]

[This sigh expressed the deepest humiliation and unwillingness of a puppet emperor.]

[After years of being a puppet, the emperor's spirit has long been worn away.]

【Did it fail? 】

【Yes. 】

【First, Dong Cheng was killed in the Yidaizhao incident. 】

【Later, Empress Fu was imprisoned until her death. 】

[But this period of history tells us that the true emperor of the Han Dynasty may not be about success, but about not giving up in desperate situations.]

[In the 21st year of Jian'an, Cao Cao proclaimed himself King of Wei, and his power and status had reached their peak.]

[At this time, Liu Xie has completely become a decoration. ]

[His existence was just a tool used by Cao Cao to maintain the superficial legitimacy of the Han Dynasty.]

[In the 25th year of Jian'an, King Cao Cao of Wei died of illness and his son Cao Pi succeeded him.]

[Under the planning of Cao Pi's confidant Hua Xin and others, a farce of abdication began to unfold. ]

[Hua Xin led the ministers to write a joint letter, urging Emperor Xian of Han to give up the throne to Wei Wang Cao Pi. ]

【Liu Xie knew that the Han Dynasty was doomed and that he was powerless to reverse the situation.】

[He issued three consecutive edicts of abdication, begging Cao Pi to follow the example of Yu Shun and accept the abdication]

[In 220 AD, the 39-year-old Liu Xie calmly handed over the imperial seal and turned to Shanyang.]

[Everyone thought that this was the end of the dynasty.]

[It can be said that Cao Wei treated the emperor of the previous dynasty quite well. ]

【After Cao Pi became emperor, he conferred the title of Duke of Shanyang on Liu Xie. 】

[The title is above that of a prince, and he enjoys a fief of 10,000 households. ]

[He did not address himself as "minister" when reporting to the emperor of the Wei Dynasty, did not bow when receiving an imperial edict, and continued to use the emperor's imperial carriage and clothes, enjoyed the rituals of offering sacrifices to heaven and earth, followed the rituals of the Han Dynasty, offered sacrifices to the Han Dynasty's ancestral temples, ancestral temples, and La Festivals, and established his capital in Zhuolu City, Shanyang State.]

[Liu Xie's four princes who were granted the title of princes were all demoted to marquises. ] [Although he lost the throne, Liu Xie lived a relatively peaceful life in Shanyang State. ]

[After abdicating, Liu Xie did not dwell on the pain of losing his country, but put aside his status as an emperor, worked in the fields, and practiced medicine to help the world. ]

【He used the medical skills he learned in the palace. 】

【He treated the injuries and illnesses of the poor people and saved many lives. 】

[Reducing taxes, encouraging farming, and making Shanyang County a paradise in troubled times. ]

[The people were grateful for his kindness and called him "Benevolent Duke", and even guarded his tomb on their own initiative after his death.]

[In Shanyang State, Liu Xie finally got rid of the shackles of politics and found his own value. ]

[So, was Liu Xie, the last emperor of the Han Dynasty, a tyrant? ]

[Dong Zhuo once commented on him: "He is smart and wise, and has the potential to be an emperor."]

Cai Yong praised him: "He has the great virtue of heaven and earth. He listens to ministers and supports literature."

【Yuan Shu even said that he had "the qualities of King Cheng of Zhou."】

He resisted.

【He was kind. 】

【He was helpless. 】

【Liu Xie, Emperor Xian of Han, could have been a wise ruler, but because he was born in troubled times, he became a ruler who lost his country. 】

[He is not a coward, but an emperor who has been let down by history. ]

[As he himself said: "I don't know when my life will end!"]

[How much helplessness and sadness of the emperor is hidden in this sentence? 】

[But no matter what, his persistence in benevolence during the troubled times has made him still remembered by future generations thousands of years later.]

【This may be the final justice that history has given him.】

……

The picture on the sky gradually dimmed, and the life of Emperor Xian of Han finally came to an end.

At the end of the Han Dynasty, in Gong'an Port.

Liu Bei stared at the sky in a daze, and saw that the young emperor who once sat on the dragon throne eventually practiced medicine in his fiefdom and saved people until his death.

"Your Majesty...you have ended up like this..." Liu Bei's voice was low and hoarse, his fingers unconsciously clenched his robes, his knuckles turned white.

The hall was silent.

Everyone was immersed in a sad mood.

Although I knew that the Han Dynasty had fallen.

Eventually he was replaced by Cao Ze.

But no matter what, we could see the demise of the last emperor of the Han Dynasty from the sky.

It still makes everyone feel very heavy.

Liu Bei recalled that when he was in Xudu, he had seen the young emperor from afar - thin and pale, but still trying hard to maintain the majesty of an emperor.

At that time, I knelt down on the steps, secretly vowing to support the Han Dynasty.

But now...

"I, Liu Bei... ultimately failed to save him..."

"I am so ashamed of your majesty!"

Guan Yu sighed and said in a deep voice: "The Han Dynasty fell into decline not overnight. We have tried our best."

Zhuge Liang also sighed and said slowly:
"My Lord, what the sky shows is the future, which may not be unchangeable."

Liu Bei raised his head slowly and calmed himself down.

"Kong Ming is right."

"The Han Dynasty has not yet been destroyed, and I, Liu Bei...how can I be depressed?"

Liu Bei stood up, glanced at everyone, and said word by word:

"Cao Pi usurped the Han Dynasty, and the gods and the people were outraged. Although we are weak, we should do our best to continue the Han Dynasty!"

……

Under Liu Bei's tearful gaze, barrages of comments appeared one after another.

《The Last Emperor of Han Dynasty! 》

"The last stubborn man of the Liu family, he finally died a good death as a doctor."

"He suffered a lot in his youth, so he died of old age."

"While serving as Duke of Shanyang, he provided free medical treatment to the people and imposed light taxes on his fiefdom, which was considered a good ending."

"I survived four powerful officials, not bad."

"Everyone says he is a mediocre person, but I think if he had the chance, he would definitely be a wise monarch."

"Even a powerful man like Dong Zhuo recognized Liu Xie's intelligence."

"He succeeded to the throne at a young age and lived a life of wandering and displacement. He was powerless."

"I have resisted before, but to resist successfully, you need to have the cards, or your opponent must be stupid."

"But Boss Cao is not stupid enough to give me a chance."

"The Cao family treated Liu Xie well and never thought of killing him. Later, Boss Cao moved to Yecheng, and the two kings did not meet each other. Everyone felt relieved. "

"That was because Boss Cao was too rude, which made Liu Xie angry. Then Boss Cao got scared and simply moved away."

"The Cao family's treatment of Liu Xie was acceptable, but forcing Concubine Dong and Empress Fu to death is unacceptable."

"When will Liu Xie enter the trance?" (End of this chapter)
