Your favourite Chinese Emperor

[red amoeba]

what cao pi did was to hit the final nail into cao cao bad reputation. pls ignore the novel storyline, the real history cao cao died as a court official of the han dynasty. As for the real reason why cao cao didnt force han xiandi to abidicate will never know as only cao cao himself knew.

as for guan yunchang, his reputation was over hype. the battles he won by himself can be count with one hand. let see, the two battles he fought for cao cao against yan liang and wen chou and also capture of changsha with 300men, that it no more i can remember. even zhang fei won more battles alone than guan yu.

he also a petty man, he very unhappy when he receive edict from liu bei that he was confer as one of the "five tiger generals" together with zhang fei, zhao yun, ma chao and huang zhong. He can accept being same level as zhang fei and zhao yun because they together for many years and ma chao are of noble birth but he tulan huang zhong being a captured enemy being same rank as him. it only a humbe letter from zhuge that evalvated guan to head of five tiger generals that he willing to accept the conferment.

from Liu Bei's POV, he damm koh-lian...got no talents to use...although amongst the 3 leaders,he is supposedly the most popular (post history) but in order to retain loyalty he has no choice but to elevate all 5 of them to "generals" . Cao Cao has the most talents. Liu Bei worst.

Guan Yu was revered more of his loyalty - which was underlined during time when he surrendered to Cao Cao under conditions.

Sure can.

In fact, by posthumous conferment, Cao Cao was technically an emperor, i.e. Wei Wudi.

All the same towards the end of his life Cao Cao had the privilege of using the trappings of an Emperor from Carriage to dressing. All that was missing was the official title.

Interestingly enough Cao Cao's reputation only took a turn for the worst during the Song dynasty especially so after Southern Song.

His headache had anything to do with it? He was battling it for sometime. Was he also superstitious?

Who is your favourite Chinese Emperor?

For me, I voted Emperor Taizong of Tang dynasty..

Emperor Taizong was one who listened to the advice of his councellors and ministers. No other emperor can match him in this respect. Because he was able to listen to the advice of his loyal officials, his empire grew strong in a midst of time.

Emperor Taizong was also a man of great strategy and tactics, especially during his campaign war against the Tujue (Turks), which allowed him to conquer Mongolia and Central Asia.

阿裕尼集选区议员陈硕茂在国会上初试啼声，引经据典、可圈可点的演讲，获得政治观察家好评。

陈硕茂充分发挥了他的律师本色，演讲内容明显有备而来。他援引唐太宗贞观之治的盛世为例，把执政的行动党喻为明理的唐太宗，反对党则是良臣魏征，直言敢谏地向唐太宗说出最真实的民生。

唐太宗是中国史上著名的明君，他建立了良好的決策和谏诤制度，以选拔贤能为本。魏征则不管是公是私，只要认为不恰当，就会像唐太宗指出，两人共同缔造了大唐盛世。

政治观察家陈庆文助理教授，给予陈硕茂的演讲高度好评。他觉得陈硕茂最成功的地方，就是内容确凿、言之有理，让所有议员都显得十分信服，基本没有引发反对声浪。

Kuan Yew probably learnt a lesson or two about the effectiveness of betraying one's friends and comrades from Wu Sangui.

Wouldn't that make his wife Chen Yuan Yuan?

 

[leetahbar]

shih huang ti. without him there would be no great wall of china and probably the children would have more useless chinese books for homeworks. he burnt most of the useless books.

 

[SibeiKing]

sibei best chinese emperor is Han Wudi. 5th Emperor after Liu Bang. He did what only Qin shi Huang dreamt of. He Hammered the munchu and the mongolians so badly that they never came and disturb China for 1000 years. And he planned it out himeself. he trained Calvary. He used young generals like Wei Qing and huo Qubing. he love his generals so much he buried them next to him. truly a hero.

Epic failure. He should have burned them all and check with the Roman Empire how to write in ABC alphabet.

Was 汉武帝 Han Wu Di a suspicious and a control freak ? He was lauded for these campaigns against the northern barbarians called 匈奴 Xiong Nu by getting the much needed 'branded' Arabian horses from the present day's Afghanistan. The yesteryear's Xiong Nu is actually the present day's 匈牙利 Hungarian ?

Today, the common saying like 马到功成 is also a sign of victory.

Re: Blood Sweating Horses

洪武帝! For the simple fact that he progressed from a peasant to the most powerful man in the middle kingdom. That's the equivalent of Goh Meng Seng becoming the Prime Minister of Singapore. Inconceivable!

Re: Blood Sweating Horses

Yeah. Han Wudi's life smeared by many of his quirks. he became so crazy that his son turn crazy also. but crazy times need crazy king to lead ma. If he is not crazy, he won't be the first emperor to try and attack the xiongnu instead of guarding against them or appeasing them. He is supposed to like horse very much and the legend Red blood horse was breed by him. He killed his concubine before dying so that that won't be a Luzhi or Woman to interfer his young son's reign.
The history of his reing is actually the most accurate because the famous historian was sanouk by him.

So, was it 汗马功劳 sweating horse merit or 汉马功劳 Han horse merit ? Actually, these horses didn't sweat at all. It was blood.

It's either the above or this one below. These horses are dwindling by the years. They are precious indeed.
