A thousand-year-old family begins with one fighting against ten thousand.

During the late reign of Emperor An, the entire known world fell under the control of the Chinese civilization.

An immense amount of fortune surged into Wei Ping's body, and with the help of this fortune, Wei Ping's small world possessed almost all the rules and matter of the normal world.

The world is just one thing away from being complete.

This thing is like a sky full of stars.

Wei Ping had a premonition that as long as the entire Chinese civilization could be unified and an unprecedentedly vast empire could be established, his world would be complete.

He could also use this to achieve the position of the world's ruler and successfully transcend worldly limitations.

I wonder who the emperor was who could achieve this?

Wei Ping was extremely excited about this.

……

The moment the entire world came under the control of Chinese civilization, the world fell into near silence.

All those in power in the world know that the rules of the world are about to change.

Before this moment, the world's rule was to establish a world belonging only to Chinese civilization under the leadership of the Divine Empire.

Once this goal is achieved, the subsequent rules are beyond doubt: warring states will eventually lead to the unification of the land.

Today, the whole world belongs to China, but China's world has been divided into hundreds of countries. One civilization, hundreds of countries—isn't this a betrayal of the First Emperor?

The unification gene ingrained in Qin Shi Huang's bones began to activate, and the various schools of thought began to revel. The Spring and Autumn and Warring States periods were the most prosperous period for these schools of thought. How is this situation any different from that of the Spring and Autumn and Warring States periods?

This will also be the era in which they once again ignite a powerful spark.

The Qin Dynasty unified the country, but it did not last long before being replaced by the Han Dynasty.

After the Han Dynasty unified the country, it naturally needed a unified ideology. Taoism was promoted because of the sage from the Wei family, and became the school of thought that unified all schools of thought.

With the warring states now in chaos, the contention of a hundred schools of thought is bound to resume. If the dynasty supported by their doctrines achieves unification, they will have the opportunity to replace Taoism and become the new dominant school of thought in the world.

The Great Qian Dynasty was naturally aware of this, but Emperor Qian'an did not care. The territory ruled by the Great Qian Dynasty had reached its limit and it was no longer able to expand outwards.

Moreover, in his view, although there were many of those countries, they were all extremely weak and there was no need to pay them any attention.

Luoyang is the city that gathers the essence and wealth of the entire world. Wouldn't it be wonderful for him to enjoy this wonderful world to the fullest?

In his hands, he fulfilled the aspirations of the sages of Chinese history and spread Chinese civilization throughout the world. Having accomplished such a great feat, what's wrong with him taking a break?

Then play the music, then dance!

After Emperor Qian'an, it seemed that the fortune of the entire Great Qian Empire was exhausted, and several generations of incompetent rulers appeared in succession.

However, the foundation of the Great Qian Dynasty was simply too solid. After all, it was the nominal leader of the entire Chinese civilization and the center of world civilization. Even though several generations of incompetent rulers appeared in succession, it still managed to survive until the birth of a wise ruler, Emperor Qianming, thanks to this solid foundation.

Emperor Qianming, Cao Kang, was inconspicuous in the palace during his childhood due to the failure of his mother and uncle's political struggle. After growing up, he was forced to live among the common people and had to fend for himself.

This also led him to witness the hardships of life and deeply understand the struggles of people at the bottom of society.

This experience also led him to meet Liu Yu, who would become his most powerful assistant in the future.

Liu Yu could be considered a member of the previous dynasty's imperial family, but he was not a descendant of Liu Bang; rather, he was a descendant of Liu Bang's younger brother. Although he was a member of the imperial family, he had no legal right to inherit the Han dynasty.

Not only did he not gain any benefits, but he was also ostracized in the Qian Dynasty because of his bloodline. He met Cao Kang, who was also living among the common people. The two hit it off and became friends.

In the final years of Emperor Qianli's reign, due to his indulgence, a fierce conflict broke out between the eunuch faction and the maternal relatives faction, even to the point of armed conflict.

Ultimately, the entire maternal relatives group was wiped out by the eunuch group supported by Emperor Qianli. In order to prevent their power from being divided, and to ensure that the new crown prince was easy to control and would not be overturned, Emperor Qianli and the eunuch group chose Cao Kang, a prince who had a grudge against the eliminated crown prince's forces.

Cao Kang's entire family was wiped out because they consistently failed in their political struggles against the Crown Prince's faction. All the forces behind them were swept away, and even after becoming the Crown Prince, he posed no threat to the Emperor's power whatsoever.

Without the support of maternal relatives, there was no manpower available, so they could only rely on the eunuch faction.

The emperor and the eunuch faction quickly reached an agreement, welcoming Cao Kang into the Eastern Palace and appointing him as the crown prince.

After becoming the crown prince, Cao Kang was keenly aware of his situation and acted with extreme humility, content to be his mascot, the crown prince.

It wasn't until Emperor Qianli passed away that Cao Kang began to show his true colors.

He had already secretly gained the support of many upright officials, and his humble origins also garnered him support from many officials from poor families and commoners.

He first revealed his ambition and desire for grand achievements, demanding the renovation of the capital and the expansion of the imperial palace.

At the same time, he ordered the court to build a Bronze Sparrow Palace for him outside the city so that he could reside there during the period when the palace was being repaired.

The power of the eunuchs was unquestionable; which of the previous emperors hadn't undertaken massive palace renovations?

This action actually reassured them.

After the Bronze Sparrow Palace was completed, Cao Kang moved in immediately and ordered the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry to guard it from the outside.

When he had nothing to do, Cao Kang would take Liu Yu and the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry to eat and chat together.

Even now, although the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry is still controlled by the eunuchs, this control is extremely weak.

Before Emperor Qianli's death, the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry was under his control.

During the period following the death of Emperor Qianli, taking advantage of the new emperor's lack of manpower, the eunuchs directly extended their influence into the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry.

But how could they understand the significance of the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry to the emperor, nor could they possibly understand the significance of the emperor to the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry?

After Cao Kang revealed this intention, they quickly killed the eunuchs who had sent them and surrendered to Emperor Cao Kang.

They are the emperor's sharpest sword, and also the reliance on which the emperor holds his power.

With the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry, the emperor had the confidence to overturn the table.

After subduing the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry, Cao Kang handed them over to Liu Yu for command. He also dropped all pretense and moved his office to the Bronze Sparrow Palace.

Whether it's court assemblies or meetings with ministers, everything is held here, completely abandoning the imperial palace, the stronghold of the eunuchs.

He knew that if they were in the palace, he would have no chance against those eunuchs.

The eunuchs had been operating there for hundreds of years, and no one knew how many hidden forces were involved. When he lived in the palace, he was always on edge, and he was even careful when eating.

Leaving the palace, one is naturally free to roam, where birds can fly freely and fish can leap freely.
