Throughout the ancient history of our country, from Qin Shi Huang Yingzheng to Xuantong Emperor Puyi, a total of 494 emperors have been experienced, including emperors of great unified dynasties such as Qin, Han, Sui, Tang, and Ming, as well as regional dynasty emperors such as Wu Shu and Wei in the Western Xia, Liao, Wu, and Three Kingdoms periods;
Some of them are emperors through the ages, some are controversial by later generations, and some are mediocre kings, if all the emperors in ancient times, according to the three of civil governance, martial arts, and ability, who are the top six emperors in history?
Sixth place: Ming Chengzu Zhu Di.
Reason for being on the list: The emperor who has both civil and martial arts, the emperor who is a wolf and a man, has been to the West seven times, and the "Yongle Canon".
Zhu Di's military talent and contributions, among the best among all emperors, he is the son of heaven, all his life for the Ming Dynasty, five times in the north of the border, in exchange for decades of peace on the border, occupy Annam, expand the territory of the Ming Dynasty, is the only ancient emperor who sealed the wolf Juxu;
And this emperor, who was famous for his martial arts, was not inferior in terms of civil governance, created a cabinet, and improved the efficiency of state administration; sent Zheng He to the West seven times, opened up the Maritime Silk Road, preached national prestige, and exchanged all countries for coming to court; He presided over the construction of the glorious masterpiece "Yongle Grand Canon", which is an important cultural treasure of the Chinese nation.
Fifth place: Liu Xiu, Emperor Guangwu of the Han Dynasty.
Reason for being on the list: the establishment of the Eastern Han Dynasty; Politics, economics, and military are all experts; "Guangwu Zhongxing".
Liu Xiu has always been nicknamed the "son of the plane", because the battles he fought were too outrageous, such as the battle of Kunyang with 20,000 troops to break Wang Mang's 400,000 army, which can be called a miracle in ancient military history, he fought on the battlefield for 15 years, defeated countless sons of heaven at that time, unified the world, and created the Eastern Han Dynasty.
Although Liu Xiu was born in the imperial family, but well aware of the people's suffering, after becoming the emperor, lightly punished the meager endowment, encouraged agricultural production, built water conservancy, and at the same time reformed the land system, the land of the big landlords was distributed to the common people, this policy was very forward-looking, so that the country's economy gradually prospered, and created the famous "Guangwu Zhongxing" in history.
At the same time, the bureaucratic system was reformed, talents were selected, and many people who were superfluous were eliminated, which not only improved administrative efficiency, but also reduced the burden on the people; Why is his PTZ 28 not famous in history? Because everyone was overshadowed by Liu Xiu's brilliance alone.
Fourth place: Ming Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang.
Reason for being on the list: the most righteous emperor; expelled the Tartars and established the Ming Dynasty; abolishing the prime minister and rectifying the rule of officials;
Born as a beggar, he started as a small soldier, and after more than ten years of conquest, he ended the rule of Meng Yuan, defeated Chen Youliang, Zhang Shicheng and other separatist forces, unified the world, and established the Ming Dynasty; "I am the right cloth of Huai, and the world is in my place", from the desperate poor people, all the way to the great emperor of the throne.
After the establishment of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang paid attention to the research and development of agricultural technology, implemented a series of agricultural assistance policies, helped the people to better agricultural production, and greatly improved the productivity at that time; At the same time, a relatively perfect disaster relief system and poverty relief system have also been implemented, so that the poor people can truly obtain benefits.
In addition, Zhu Yuanzhang abolished the thousand-year-old prime minister system and strengthened the centralization of power; Reformed the selection system, so that talents into the Ming Dynasty, and at the same time vigorously rectify the rule of officials, severely punish corruption, so that the early Ming Dynasty officials were quite clear, but because of its means, Zhu Yuanzhang also left a brutal reputation in history.
Third place: Liu Che, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.
Reason for being on the list: attacking the Xiongnu in the north and conquering Baiyue in the south; expanded the territory of China; Opening up the Silk Road.
Liu Che reigned for 54 years, of which 49 years were at war, he sent Wei Qing, Huo Qubing and others to lead the army to attack the Xiongnu in the north, after several major wars, hit the Xiongnu hard, expanded the territory of the Han Dynasty, and also made the Xiongnu no longer have the strength to threaten the Han Dynasty, and also laid the foundation for the opening of the Silk Road;
And his greatest merit, is the southern expedition to Baiyue, the entire Baiyue region, in the real sense into the territory of China, this is epoch-making significance, according to statistics during the reign of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, a total of 1.98 million square kilometers for the Han Dynasty to open up territory, worthy of being able to"Take"As the emperor of the nickname.
Internally, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty adopted the eternal conspiracy of "Tui En Order" to collect power without blood; Zhang Qian was sent to the Western Regions to open up the Silk Road; Economically, the establishment of equalization officials and equalization of officials and the implementation of the "law of substitution of fields" in agriculture have effectively promoted the development of the country.
Of course, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty also had some mistakes, such as years of reckless military force, which consumed the huge wealth left by his father and grandfather "Wenjing Zhizhi", making the people miserable, and in his later years, he was superstitious about immortality, profligate, and caused the "witch curse", forcing the queen Wei Zifu and the crown prince Liu Ju to death.
Second place: Tang Taizong Li Shimin.
Reason for being on the list: Immortal meritorious service for the creation of the Tang Dynasty; conquer the surrounding nations; Be humble and create a "rule of chastity".
Li Shimin's life, although not long, but brilliant, more than half of the Tang Dynasty was laid by him, in the battle of Tiger Pass, he won more than one battle to destroy the two kings, and made immortal contributions to the Tang Dynasty; After becoming the emperor, he pacified the Turks, Xue Yantuo, Gaochang, Tuyuhun, etc., and hit Goguryeo hard, making the Tang Dynasty coercive and overwhelming, and all countries came to the court, known as the "Heavenly Khan";
Li Shimin is known for his humble acceptance of advice in history, and the story of him and Wei Zheng has been widely circulated, and he is also benevolent to the people, paying little attention to the development of agriculture, and promoting the reform of the imperial examination. So that the people live and work in peace and contentment, the country is rich and the people are strong, and the "rule of Zhenguan" has been created;
It's a pity that Li Shimin was stubborn and happy in his later years, and made some wrong decisions, and at the same time, he originally sneered at Changsheng, and in his later years, he also began to be superstitious about the elixir of Changsheng, which seems to be a common problem of all great emperors.
The first place: Qin Shi Huang Yingzheng.
Reason for being on the list: Destroy the six countries and unify the world; attacked the Xiongnu in the north and conquered Baiyue in the south; construction of the Great Wall and the Ling Canal; The book is the same text, the car is the same track, and the county is established.
Although Qin Shi Huang was a Qin person, he was born in Zhao State as a hostage, lived a life of 8 years under the fence, and after returning to Qin, he first eliminated internal troubles (that is, Lü Buwei), and then destroyed the Six Kingdoms, unified the world, and became the first emperor in Chinese history, and Qin Shi Huang's ambition was more than that;
He sent Meng Tian to attack the Xiongnu in the north, seized the Hetao area, and built the Great Wall of China, which not only effectively contained the threat of the Xiongnu, but also left a valuable legacy for the Chinese nation; The southern expedition to Baiyue included the Lingnan region into the territory of Daqin, and had the great achievement of expanding the territory;
The book is the same text, the car is on the same track, the subdivision is abolished, the county is established, and the Ling Canal is built. This pile not only promoted the economic and cultural development of the Qin Dynasty, but also had a far-reaching impact on later dynasties.
Of course, Qin Shi Huang also has several points worth criticizing, such as the strict criminal law, the law of the Qin Dynasty pays attention to heavy punishment for minor crimes, such as littering on the street, to accept the criminal law of tattooing words on the face; There is also the law of joint sitting, one person commits a crime, and everyone in the family will be implicated, and the brutality of the Qin criminal law is rare in all dynasties.
